prompted by the presence Of Samuel
Gompers, big chief of labor, who
made an address here in the after
noon, pledging the striking actors
support in their fight for union rec

At 10 p. M, in the Office of the New

their ultimatum at p. m. for a So

This is nothing but battle for
power, and the power at stake be-
longs by right not to the steel mas

ests of capital and labor now separ-
ated by punctilio, they are small in
comparison with those of the people
upon whom the whole cost of mex
cusable strife must fall. If the men
who proclaim these class wars had
to foot the bills themselves, ambition
and arrogance would give way more
frequently to reason. It is the pow

these desperate gamblers have on the

$1,5OQ IS POLK COUNTY'S
QUOTA ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL

To perpetuate the memory of the
late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, one
Of the greatest Americans of modern
times and beloved by all Americans,
the Roosevelt Memorial Association,
which was organized shortly follow
ing Colonel Roosevelt's death last
spring, has set about to raise fund
Of five million dollars. A nationwide
campaign is now under way and an
intensive drive for the raising of the
fund will be conducted during the
week of October 20 to ~.
Florida is rapidly perfecting her or
ganization through the State Execu-
tive Committee with headquarters at
Jacksonville and chairmen to superin.
tend the campaign have been named
for each of the fifty-four counties.
Each state in the union has certain
quota. Florida's share has been fixed
at $4,000 by the National Commit
tee. In order to equalize the raising
of this amount the Florida executive
committee has given each county in
the state a fixed quota. The quota
for Polk county is $1,000.
County chairmen are now receiving
their instructions from the state com.
mittee and will proceed to organize
their respective counties for the
work. Every individual and every or.
ganization in each county will be
called upon to assist. The Boy
Scouts have aligned themselves with
the campaign and judging from their
past records in the Liberty Loan
Drives the committee will be rend
cred invaluable assistance. Schools
and colleges throughout Florida are
being enlisted for the drive. The
present outlook is that Florida will
not onl ydo her part but set a pace
for the rest Of the states.
Not only is the campaign to be
waged in the nUited States but will
be carried outside to this country'I
possessions where chairmen have beer
Appointed and work is already under
way.
The plans of the Roosevelt Memo
rial Association include the erectio:
of magnificent monument at Wash

of a park for the people of Colone

men as you that cause five dollar
shoes to sell at ten dollars, and that
cause an advance in all kinds of nee

THAT UNCOMFORTABLE

There used to be time
When one viewed a two-dollar bill
About as suspeciously
As a dark-shaded individual
Chances at the village cemetery.
As he perambulates homeward
After enjoying game of skin.
One of those two-dollar bills.
Seemed always to carry with it
A sort of a liant"
Some vowed twas hoodoo.
And there was much grumbling
From the average recipient
Every time one was paid to him.
He was willing to take money
But he wanted either two ones,
Or he'd take four halves,
Or twenty dimes would suit him.
And, at a pinch, he'd accept
The heavy weight of forty nickels;
tut, by all geeWnllllklnS,
How he did hate and abhor
A dirty old two-dollar bill
Or even bright new one.
BUT-listen:
At this day and this date
Every man and every woman
Realizes that it absolutely requires
A bill Of that denomination
To purchase dollars worth
OF almost anything there is
Except in buying postage stamps.
And I'll say it right here
That those full of objections
To two-dollar bill
Will find as they spend 'em
That they carry no more weight
That if they were one-dollar ones
In fact, to be perfectly frank,
That two-dollar bill, just now,
Is worth but about eighty cents.
