Cats
Speech

The Gainesville Sun believes the
coming primary campaign in Florida,
will be one of reason and not
repetition of the wild, unthinking
campaign of four years ago. That is
why we wrote an editorial on the
morning, before Gov. Cats spoke
here on Thursday night last request
ing the people to turn out and hear
him. We suggested then, that as
United States senator's are now elect
ed by direct vote of the people in
stead of by legislatures, as formerly,
it is important that we see and hear
our candidates. We personally went
to hear the governor and his speech
was fairly reported in this paper the
following morning by our reporter.
We had supposed he would discuss
national and international affairs be-
cause it is with those things United
States senator has to deal. He did
not even touch upon them. To the
contrary in the language OF our own
! reporter, he held forth in medley OF
metaphors played on many strings to
arouse the enthusiasm Of his hearers
He gave no views of his own about
matters with which senator has to
deal. He gave no ingling of what
amount of senatorial timber he had
in his makeup. He spoke no word
about a remedy for the general state
of unrest prevailing in this govern
ment He devoted himself entirely tC
self-praise and referred only tC
achievement in his administration as
governor. He took credit for every
thing. He gave the legislature nc
crdite. He gave no one any credit
but himself All. how brilliantly and
fervidly he SANG his own praises. We
heard him say he had made zone mis-
take"-just one and that was about
some little appointment.
j He forgot to mention the fact that
the taxpayers of Florida are paying
higher taxes today than they have
since the dys Of reconstruction Hl
forgot to mention that Florida has
more expensive boards and commits.
sions and inspectors drawing salaries
or running about over the country al
the expense Of the taxpayers, thar
ever before in its history. He forgot
to mention the many thousands Of
dollars he has cost the state by re.

 Mrs. J. M. Claghorn reported that her son is, getting fifty cents each for squirrels and sixty to sixty-five cents for rabbits, which I think is a good price.

 Saturday I again started for Wye to see how soon my homestead will be ready for me to move onto. While on Highland car bound for the Tenth street depot l came near being in a collision. A Ford, driven by a negro, barely missed colliding with us. He did one of the prettiest turns 1 ever saw done with a car. There was sewer opening at the corner as he came down a grade with the car under good control. He turned sharply to his left to avoid a col lision and straddled the sewer open

He went to school to Judge Eastman, be- fore and after the Civil Wan Judge Eastman was county judge at the time. The position was an honorary one and for the two months he de- voted to his court each year he re- ceived no compensation. The school was a pay school and the only boy school in the village. There was an- other school for girls. The school house was log building with an old fashioned fireplace, where being out in the country, they were entitled to burn fat pine. The school was To- cated at Eighth and Spring streets, and there were only one or two more buildings further out than it. Land along Tenth street from Main west was then selling at SIPS an acre. The business houses of the town then only reached to Second and Main. The building there was during the war taken by the government for a commissary and so used for num- Der of years. In those days there was not much town. Officially 1t had mayor, but not a single police man. Jno. Brady, Bill and Fred Gar. rett are the only ones of his school mates he knows to be living now, but others are probably living though. Grown men as well as boys went to this school. His father came to Ar kansas in 1882, when it was ter ritory. There were only two or three houses in Little Rock then. He home steaded where the creosote plant is now. During the Civil War he got broke up and sold his l60-acre home stead for $500. He then came to Little Rock and kept a boarding house for the Yankee officers. They furnished him the food from the commisary and each paid him so much a week for board. The con tractor on the railroad then building from Memphis boarded with him.

 There is quite lot of work being done on the Lawson pike, and also on the upper Hot Springs road. A number of new bridges have been put in near the junction of the two roads. Out beyond Martindale, Road Oyerseer Ulmer is doing some good work. Alongside of John Monteith's s farms l found crew of men busy grading.
 As l went out to the Clark & Cav mill l met number of their big eight-wheel wagons with a big load of lumber and eight mules to each. In places they have got the road very muddy but it has been rocked so well that the wheels do not cut down very deep. The wagon and teams, which they are using, were brought from their logging camps along the Nei- meyer road, which has been reported shut down. At the Garland home they have big saw mill and big slave mill and are putting in another farther out. It is the busiest place l have seen since the public works began to shut down. Though lots of men are looking for work, part of the time they doenot have as many men as they need. Men are getting from three to five dollars day.
 D. H. Rhodes will move across the road from where he is now living, on to the Mann farm.
 
 The Mckenzie children presented me with half dozen of five corn seeds. They are the queerest seed I ever saw. Nearly always in the past the Editor has spelled the word fire eorn," but there is nothing about the seed to indicate such name. They look just like little short Indian ca. noes that had been carved out of white pine or some other soft wood. They are a little over half inch long and not quite so wide, and I should say one-third of an inch deep. It crowds my five corn cup to hold five of them. They are beautiful little fairy appearing canoes that one would think 1t sacreligious to say that they are responsible for the wicked (?l crap game, but I sup pose tho@&h that they really are guilty. 9

ORLANDO WILL HAVE
MODERN FIVE STORY
DEPARTMENT STORE


Jacksonville architects and contrac-
tors have charge of the construction
of modern department store which
will be erected in Orlando for the
Dickson-Ives Company, according to
information obtained yesterday, the
building to cost about $4,000, and
said to be one of the finest in the
state.
Dickson-Ives Company OF Orlando
have completely outgrown their pres
ent quarters, and have just accepted
plans submitted by Marsh & Saxelbye
of this city for a five-story building to
be erected at the corner of Central
and Orange avenues, with frontage
| of 100 feet on Central, running back
6S feet on Orange avenue.
The contract has been let to c. E.
Hilyer Company Of Jacksonville. and
will begin shortly. The building will
be Of reinforced concrete, faced with
tapestry brick and stone, with electri-
cal and gas illumination. The mez-
canine floor will be used for general
office, and ladies' writing room, while
the other floor will be used for vari-
Gus departments of the store, the spe-
cial requirements of the various lines
being considered in the designing Of
the building. The air tube system
will be used by cashiers, and every
modern convenience is included in the
plans for this store.
There has been considerable build
ing in Orlando during the past few
years, and this is but another evil
dence of the rapid development of this
thriving and pretty city.-Jacksonville

NEED FOR PUBLIC
UTILITIES COMMISSION
Tallahassee, May Is, 1920.

Tallahassee, May 10, 1920.
I desire to call to the attention o.
the people of Florida that the time
has come when in the public interest
comprehensive public utilities act
ought to be passed by the Legislature.
In 1887 the Legislature created a
Railroad Commission. In 1891 the
1891 the Commission was abolished by
an act of the Legislature.
In 1897 the Legislature passed an
act establishing the Railroad Com
mission, which has continued to func-
lion under that act, as amended from
time to time, down to the present
date. At first the Commission was
only authorized to regulate railroad,
steamboat and express companies.
Later, by a separate act telephone
and Telegraph companies were placed
under the jurisdiction Of the railroad
commission. At first, and until re-
cent years, there was no general ne
cessity for the enactment Of a law
creating a Public Utilities Commits
sion, in lieu of the Railroad Commits
sion, for the regulation OF railroads,
boat-lines, express companies, tele-
phone and telegraph companies
street railway companies, gas, light,
water and power companies serving
the public.
Street car companies are not men
toned in the present law, but the Su
preme court Of Florida recently held
that these companies are subject to
regulation by the commission.
1t is rather difficult to undertake
the regulation Of street railway COM
panies in the absence of compre-
hensive law on the subject. Nearly all
of the states of the United States have
established public service or public
utilities commissions, in lieu of the
former railroad or warehouse COM
missions, and the time has arrived
when this should be done in Florida.
The railroad commissioners will
have prepared a comprehensive pub
lie utilities law to present to the leg
islature for enactment in 1921.
This is a matter that should be
called upon to declare themselves
with reference to the enactment of
such legislation. When men are Of
fering for election is the best time

WANAMAKER's SALE

New York's biggest store Wanna
makers, is now conducting a deter
mined effort to break the wholesale
market and reduce the cost of living,
The store is deducting 20 per cent OF
the price on everything that is. sold
and further offered to buy a million
dollars worth of new goods, for cash,
each week if the manufacturers will
sell reasonably. The Wanamaker
store has $2O,OOO,O00 worth of goods
on hand and the offer to cut 20 per
cent in price applies to everything in
the store.
Mr.. Wanamaker is almost a resi-
dent of Pinellas county and st. Pet
ersburg feels like he is local man
for he spends several weeks here and
at Pass-a,Grille every winter and he
is persistent and big booster for the
Sunshine City and its neighbor on
Long Key Hissale at his New York
and Philadelphia stores is attracting
national attention.
In his ads in the New York papers
Mr.. Wanamaker says in part:
Twenty per cent off the whole
stock-off everything that Wanamak-
er sells-that's the amazing thing to
me- said a woman. All stores are
offering few things at lower prices,
but here everything is offered-thi
of it Everything!
yes, everything we sell at retail
the complete 20 million dollars stock
in the two stores, with the exception
of a few patented and trademark
things on which the makers have fixed
the price.
How long will the sale last! is
the question being asked all day long.
Frankly we do not know. The idea
is to break prices in the wholesale
market and reduce the cost of living.
Whether this can be done-or how
long it will require to effect it we do
not know.
Eyes, and we offer to buy for cash
a million dollars of goods each week
If manufacturers will meet us half
way in this effort to force down
prices"
Mr.. Wanamaker has proved his pa
triotism and has demonstrated even
more plainly than ever how valuable
a citizen he is to this country.-St.

GETTING HOME

When you have wandered far away
and left the Old familiar scenes
To live for days and nights afar from
all that friendship really means,
Though skies are blue and men are
kind and joy is yours from day
to day.
How good it is when comes the houl
which starts you on your home
ward way.
Oh, there is beauty in the hills and
music in the roaring sea!
The pine and palm are fair to know
but fairer is the apple tree!
A strangers smile is good to see, but
wander wheresoe'er you may.
The richest joys of earth are found
always along the homeward way
There comes the time when scenes
afar will lose their luster and
their thrill.
You'll want the old-familiar street
the sitting room, where all is
still
The faces of the friends you love. the
children romping at their play
And you will hail, with Joy the time
which starts you on your home.
ward way.
1t matters not how far the place to
which in search Of peace you
roam,
There is no thrill which can compare
to that you find in getting home
To be once more with those you
know!
On that the joys Of earth depend,
And sweet the thrill and glad the day
which brings you to your jour
ney's end
