manager plan of government, that
should appeal to every truly patriotic
and thinking mind, President Wilson,
| in the March, 1918, issue of
Town Development emphasized very
clearly the genuine democracy of the
modern plan of municipal administra-
ton, as compared with the oligarchi-
cal method of partisan machine
controlled city governments which it
is steadily dispiacing.
This long article by President VIII
son dealt in detail with the new sys-
tenn Of government, but he stressed
especially the desirability of center
ling responsibility and authority. He
said, in part:
I'VE want o unity in order to con-
troll. / do not understand the raa-
soning of those persons who sav that
unification of this sort is undemo-
cratic. / do rot know anything that
is undemocratic, except that which
prevents the people from controlling:
and l stand for the proposition that
Anything that secures control by pub
lie opinion is fundamentally and rad
ically democratic. l do not have to
largue that. 1t Is too obvious"
But prior to his being raised TO
the presidency, Mr.. Wilson, while
governor Of New Jersey, advocated
the new system of municipal govern
ment. In message to the New Jer-
'sey Legislators. urging the lawmak-
ers to enact a measure that would
give the people of the towns and
cities of that state the right of home
rule in municipal affairs, he said:
THE changes proposed are not ex-
perimental-theyh have been tested by
abundant experience. The commits
sion-manager system OF government
has resulted in purifying and clarity
ing and perfecting every process of
local government 1t has concen-
trated responsibility, has enabled the
voters to exercise real control and
has stimulated efforts at economy
and business-like reorganization" -

and hotels, no sane business man OF
woman would build houses or invest
in hotels. We must have g. demand
for them before we get them. Let's
go back to last winter. More peo-
pie came to Punta Gorda last winter
than ever before. The town was
full up" and many had to pass on.
AS result we are prepared to care
for a greater number this winter
than last. Old houses have been rem
Ovated and new ones built, making
"a total of about a dozen residences
not available last winter, and as re-
suit of the demand last winter we
will have this winter at least so
rooms more than last year. AS a
result of the demand for more room
we are to have a modern, 40-room
hotel equal to the best, by next win
ter. We had about 700 visitors last
year. If we can bring 1,400 this
winter we will have cause for rejoic-
ing rather than crepe hanging as
some seem inclined when they con-
template the town being over-run
with visitors. When we create the
demand Wen get the houses-and
not before. Drive spike there.

The women of America express
their convictions and their passionate
desire through the Pittsburg woman
who gives an heirloom jewel worth
$1,000 to the Cox campaign fund,
with the words: MY advice to the
woman voter is to read the Covenant
of the League of Nations for herself.
l am an American to the core, and
am anxious that America shall not
sink away, 'welcher' among the
nations of the world" That ought
to stir every man and woman in the
country to go and do likewise. This
lady, who will not allow her name 10
be disclosed, gives as her reasons
for making this beautiful gift, which
which ought to bring 100000 for
the cause of National honor and
world peace instead of its CONNER
cial equivalent, that America might
not break her faith with the world;
that we might not betray our boys
who lie buried in foreign lands; that
we might join the League of Nations
which we played so great a part in
making, and show the world that
America keeps her word" There
speaks woman and patriot. and

/ The esteemed Tribune" which
puts its brains into cold storage at the
beginning of every presidential cam.
paign, tells us that If Governor Cox
should be elected president "the
country will be given the same kind
of administration which has brought
it to its present dire extremity"
And what is 'its present dire ex-
Itremity"? OF all the countries in the
world which count in the affairs of
the world the United States is the
richest and most prosperous and has
the least to grumble about. It's la
Dor is the best paid labor and the
most regularly employed labor,
working under the most favorable
conditions. The cost of living is
high, but proportionally it is not
worse than elsewhere; in fact, better.
Taxes are also high and need read
justment, but the burden is lighter
here than it is in any of the other
countries that were drawn actively
into the war.
There never was time when there
was so little poverty, when the aver
age man was so well off and when
the American people had so little
cause to grumble. They are better
off then anybody else, in spite of
their complaints, and their affairs
never rested on a more solid basis.
The only people who are suffering
are the Republican politicians who
have not established connections with
the payroll. That is the dire ex-
tremity. New York World.

Another blow to union labor is
struck by union labor in the Hazelton,
Pa, anthracite field. Twelve of the
thirty-three collieries are idle and
from $4,000 to 10000 miners have
quit work because of the award of
the anthracite coal commission, APP
proved by President Wilson and an
nounced this week.
This is not only violation of their
agreement to abide by the action of
the commission, but it is a fragrant
breech of the miners contract with
the operators. Collective bargaining
is a right which should be conceded,
and is generally conceded, to organ
lied labor. without il labor unions
would lack one of the chief objects
of their formation and one of the
necessary instruments of their oper-
alton. But the continued recogni-
ton of that right depends upon the
good faith of those who would ex-
ercise it. 1t cannot survive in the
conduct of our industrial system un-
less it be observed as scrupeously by
one side of the contract as by the
other. There can be no object in
dealing with workingmen collectively
If they may when they please, either
collectively or individually, break
their contracts.-Atlanta Constitu-
ton.

AS is generally known, the adver-
Using committee of the Commercial
Club is planning to issue booklet
descriptive of Punta Gorda and sur
rounding country and to do other adj
vertising in a limited way. Every
now and then some person, sincere,
doubtless, rises to inquire: What
is the use in advertising the town
and bringing people here when more
than we can accommodate will come
without advertising? Our housing
facilities are already far short of our
needs" Upon first thought, the rea-
soning of these good souls seems
plausible enough, but they put the
cart before the horse. 1t is granted
that we need more houses. WHY
do we need houses? "Why, for the
people to live in, of course" you
answer. Exactly We need more
houses for people to live in. Sup
pose there were no people to live in
the houses, no one wanting to rent
rooms or buy homes? What then ?
We wouldn't need any more houses!

There is every indication that la.
Dor is going to be plentiful in Florida
this winter. There is considerab BILE
unemployment in the North, and
many of those who are idle will come
down here to save fuel and discom-
fort. The situation is pertinently
sized up by the Clearwater Sun, as
follows Predictions made by what
is considered well-informed authori-
ty is that there will be an abundance
of labor in Florida this winter. This
condition is being brought about by
the big manufacturing industries of
the north laying off thousands upon
thousands of their employees These
men have likely saved some money
and will naturally hunt a warmer
climate this season while they are out
Of work and therefore have the time.
While in the South they will work
where opportunity offers and many
will become permanent residents. 1t
is good sense for those who have
good situations today to make them
selves valuable and hold their
places. Lakeland Telegram.

We may be mistaken, but we cand.
idly believe that a majority of the
taxpayers of Punta Gorda would fav.
or bond issue for the purpose OF
paying one-third of the cost of paw
ing a number of our main streets
which are badly in need of improve
ment, if they were given the oppor-
tunity to vote upon the question. In
the long run it would cost no more
to have paved and passable streets
than unimproved and often almost
impossible streets. Paved streets
would require no outlay for upkeep
for 10 or Is years, depending upon
the kind, and the money that is be-
ing wasted on the present so-called
streets would go long way toward
paying interest and providing a sink
ing fund for bonds. We believe the
question of paving is of paramount
Importance to Punta Gorda and hope
to see in the very near future def
mite steps taken to decide the matter
one way or another.

Under the direction of an unseen

true in Jacksonville, where there is

From an advertisement the Hon.
Sidney j. Cats is running in the
Tampa papers it appears that he is
to make his residence in Atlanta after
january LIST. You'd never believe
it, but Sid, the corporation hater and
batter, is to represent a "coppera-
ton" We think it rank ingratitude
to turn his back on a State that was
as good to him as Florida has been,
but perhaps State that takes Tom
Watson to its political bosom furn-
ishes more congenial atmosphere.
At any rate Georgia is welcome to

peration" vast success, trusting that
he'll be so happy in his new home
he'll never want to come back

The City Council of Fort Myers
realizing the need for a more bust.
ness-like administration, has called
for the election of charter board to
amend the city charter to provide for
the commission form OF
government. 1t Is understood that
there is a growing demand for a
change in Arcadia and it is likely
that that place win be the third

So for as known, there is no real
Punta Gorda's form OF government to
provide for a town manager, bu. a
few think that probably Punta Gorda
is too small to employ a manager.
We believe this idea is erroneous and
short-sighted. If assessed at full
value our assessment would be about
81, 100000 Our business should be
conducted as carefully, efficiently and
economically as the business of a
private corporation. Those interest
ed in a private enterprise worth
100000 would not for moment
consider turning over the manage
ment of that business TO half dozen
unpaid men who have all and more
than they can do to attend to their
private affairs, because they would
know that there could be but one
result 1t eventually - bankruptcy.
There are certain rules of business
that apply and must be observed in
any business. whether it be public or
private, large or small We have
an example in our next door neigh
Dor. When those who fear that Pun
Ia Gorda is too small to employ a
manager come to understand that the
trial will involve no risk to speak of
and is very likely to result in a saw
ing more than the managers salary,
besides more satisfactory method
of conducting the towns business,
we believe that their fears along
this line will be dispelled.

Different reasons as to the
cause have beer advanced. 1t IS
thought by officers of the company
that the cement was frost-bitten

nave had experience in laying ccE-

is with the cement.
1t is alleged by representatives,
