HELP WIN FIGHT AGAINST
VENEREAL DISEASES

Two newly established venereal
disease clinics for Florida are shown
in the last report of the state board
of health submitted to the United
States public health service They
are located at Sanford and Fort
Pierce. With these two there are now
eleven clinics in the state making a
hard fight against the insidious dis
ease which, health authorities all
over the country are trying hard to
teach the general public, is not nee
essarily thing to be ashamed of as
it is very infectious and may be con-
tracted as innocently as typhoid fever
or smallpox.
Clinics are now in operation in
Jacksonville, Tampa, Key West, St.
Petersburg, Miami, West Palm Beach,
Fort Pierce, Arcadia, Lake City, Pen
sacola and Sanford. Quincy, Tallahas-
see and possibly Fort Lauderdale are
expected to be added to this list in
the near future. The state board of
health is in hopes of establishing
clinics in every county in Florida
within the next twelve months.
Reports of the various clinics COM
piled by the bureau of venereal dis
eases show that during April, there
was an average daily attendance of
149 persons. Five hundred and fifty
nile new cases were treated during
the month. This does not include
cases continued from the preceding
month. A large quantity of educa-
tional literature was distributed and
80 lectures delivered at various points
throughout the state.

SENATOR FLETCHER WINS
(Tampa Tribune)

ain pa 4TIDuHSJ
With his constant canvassing and
the reports of his following in distant
districts of Florida, it was but natural
that many should receive the impress
sion Mr.. Cats was really a danger
Gus opponent to Senator Fletcher for
reelection to the United States Sem
ate. But it began to dawn on the
people that everywhere that supposed
strength was distant from the people
who were hearing of it. A man in
Tampa would look around and gee
nothing but Fletcher, while hearing
that Gin West Florida Cats is run
ming strong" A man at DeFuniak
Springs would look around and see
nobody for anyone but Fletcher. and
then hear, gin Tampa Cats is sweep
ing up"
1t was always somewhere else that
Cats strength was reported. Finally
we got together and looked into the
matter and found that the "Catts
strength in Florida" is another of the
governors nightmares, like his hav-
ing the German spy stood up against
the wall and shot at Camp Wheeler,
his slOshing around for two weeks in
Washington is now up to his knees,
and his running three Tampa would
be bribers out of his office with his
inkstand.
Senator Fletcher is in Florida. He
has been heard at home, and we have
heard the news from "a distance" and
there is absolutely no chance for
Cats, in our sober opinion and im-
partial judgment.
The Fletcher reception at Wakulla,
at Titusville, at Tampa and at every
other place he has spoken convinces
sight and that it is back to the
bushes for Cats.
Nowhere have we seen a people so
deliberative and so calculating in its
hearing of a candidate as were the
people at Dade City Tuesday night.
II was most wonderful demonstra-
ton of the influence of honor and
candOr and justice on a people set to
know the truth and waiting for the
truth before acting. Those people
literally took Senator Fletcher into
their arms before that hour and
forty minute speech was ended. They
never shuffied a foot. they never took
their eyes from his face, and they
never failed to reflect in their coun-
tenances every emotion of the speak
er. If Cats gets corporal's guard
following in Dade City it will be from
those who did not hear Senator Flet-
cher speak.
And who can mistake the senti-
ment of the people here after last
nights ovation and address? Tampa
will go for Fletcher by vote that
will astonish even his strongest be-
levers and most ardent workers.
But the time has not come to rest.
There must be nothing left undone
to make the victory so overwhelming
and complete that not even a Sidney
J. Cats will have the nerve or the
heart to dare think even of running
Independent in November.

CAN'T HOLD CATS

The Star is afraid that it's attempt
to have a pleasant meeting between
Gov. Cats and the people of Ocala
was more than half failure.
If the people including Sheriff Gal
loway had kept perfectly quiet and
made no comment on what the gov
ernor said, the meeting would have
passed off with the smoothness and
softness of polished marble. If the
governor had been good-natured and
talked to the crowd as any sensible
politician would, like it was made up
of friendly people, some of whom diff
fered with him, he would have had a
respectful hearing and a pleasant
goodbye.
There were about 800 voters pres
ent, of which at least three-fourths
were Fletcher men. There were a
considerable number of ladies in cars
on the outskirts of the throng. The
governor arrived little late, accom-
panied by Mr.. B. NJ. Raysor, who in
troduced the speaker. Everybody likes
Ben. whether they agree with him CIR
not, so when he made way for the
governor, the crowd was in a high
state of good humor.
1t is not worth while to try to re-
produce Mr.. Cats speech. 1t was
the same old line of praise for himself
and abuse for Fletcher. Mr.. Fletcher
spoke here few weeks ago. and all
who heard him can testify that he
made no unkind or discourteous ref
RI Io hi
charges and poked some good-natured
fun at him, but in no place in his
speech did Mr.. Fletcher refer to Mr..
Cats with bitterness or evident in
tention to hurt his feelings.
How different was Cats remarks
about Fletcher. A string of abuse
from beginning to end. Gentlemen on
the political platform are not suppos-
ed to refer to other candidates in the
language Cats used about Fletcher,
even if there be foundation for the
remarks.
Then Cats laudation of himself
was sickening. About what he had
done at Camp Wheeler, and to keep
leprosy out of the state, better treat
ment of convicts, and other things
the credit for which belong to other
men. For one thing, he claimed the
establishment of the industrial school
here, when everybody knows that to
the legislature of 1915, to Park
Trammell and his cabinet, particular
ly Will Knott, is the credit due.
Up to the time the governor began
on his Camp Wheeler spiel, the crowd
was quiet. But there was a number
OF ex-service men present, most of
whom had been at Camp Wheeler,
and for some reason or other noobdy
car induce the boys to believe that
Cats did anything for them. Some
of them hooted him, and that made
the governor mad, and he began to
talk rough. Of course it was wrong
for the boys to pick on the old man.

Tries to Give Away Platt National Park

ID LA1T National park in Oklahoma
4 was established i'm 1902. 1t con-
tains but S48 acres. 1t has sulphur
and bromide springs of medical value.
Last year il attracted about $4,000 Wis
ttors, most of them from the adjacent
city of Sulphur. So Plat is hardly
up to the standard of the national
parks. 1t Is slated to be reduced to
a national monument
In 1913 Plat got an appropriation
of $1,000 which has gradually been
decreased to $4,000 for fiscal year
1920. While the national park items
in the sundry civil bill were being con-
sidered in the house just before adj
journment, Harreld of Oklahoma of
aered an amendment increasing the
appropriation from $4,000 to $4,000.
Then Good of Iowa, chairman of the
appropriations committee, offered a
substitute amendment which provided
for transfer of the park to the state
of Oklahoma and. in case of the failure
or refusal of Oklahoma to accept the
park, for the sale of the park either
BY sealed proposals or by public auc-
tton, the proceeds to go to the treas
nry.

ated welfare organizations, the Amer
lean Legion, the navy department, the
quartermaster's corps (cemeterial divi-
sion), the war plans division of the

The war department will neither

That Romagne, Belleau and Sures-

of honor in France.
That those bodies not requested to

That headstones and markers be

WASHINGTON
SIDELIGHTS
National Department of Public Works

At present these functions are per-
formed by SO separate and distinct
agencies in nine out of the ten de-
partments, which in many cases do ex-
actly the same kind of work and are
not correlated and co-ordinated except
through congress-
In the regrouping of functions
among the departments the interior
department would transfer the patent
Office to the department of commerce;
the bureau of pensions to the treasury
department; the bureau of education
to tie department of labor the freed
mans hospital to the public health
service, and so on.
Into the new department OF puDnc
works would be taken the supervising
architects office from the treasury de-
partment; the corps of engineers, nv
ers and harbors, from the war depart
ment: the coast and geodetic survey
from the department of commerce; the
bureaus of good roads and OF forest
service from the agricultural depart
ment, and so on.
OF course every department-except
nerhaps the interior-will fight the bill

the Sioux, guaranteed by tie Fort
Laramie treaty of 1868, and in spite
Of the more or less energetic efforts of
United States troops to keep them out.
In his report to the secretary of the in

fairs said:
I'm this complication of affairs there
is but one alternative for the govern.
ment, either to increase the military
force so as to compel strict observ-
ance Of the treaty rights of the Sioux

such restrictions upon the exercise of
the large bounty now granted to the
Sioux as to form an argument that will
be likely to procure their assent TO the

Further complicating the situation
came the Custer massacre In Wyoming
