SHE WILL.

Week before last we called the at
tention of our people to the necessity
of cooperating with Fort Myers to
the fullest extent possible in pushing
the short-route road project to a sue
|cessful conclusion. Our editorial
was reproduced by the Fort Myers
Tropical News last week under the
heading will Purta Gorda Help
Fort Myers?" The answer is, she
will" At a meeting of the CONNER
.cial Club Friday night the short
route road project was one of the
chief topics of discussion and it was
decided to ask our commissioner to
begin work on Punta Gorda's end of
the road just as soon as Fort Myers
decides where the bridge is to cross
the CaloosahatChee 1t was also de-
cided to use all proper means to Lave

Tamiami trail from Tampa to Punta
Gorda, and shortening the distance
from here to the former place at
least rs miles.

The SiX-HOur Day.

The American Federation of Labor
has declared through its convention
determination to begin a drive for
the siX-hour day. It's advocates ar
que that the shorter workday will
provide employment for more men.
The argument would come better
recommended if there were many
men seeking jobs. In day of great
underproduction and shortages of la,
Dor and materials, however, the ne
cessity of providing more jobs is not
apparent.
Labor leaders commonly have two
objects: to keep down the price OF
living and to improve the conditions
and rewards of the union members
Both are laudable purposes. II
should be plain to all of them, how.
ever, that the fundamental factor in
high cost is interpretation, and
that the sure way to bring down
prices is to produce more goods
But more goods cannot be produced

Democratic Opportunity.

A great opportunity unfolds be-
fore the Democratic party. 1t is at
the same time an opportunity to
serve the Nation and an opportunity
to increase its own influence and
self-esteem. For among free peoples
those who serve best the general in
terest serve best their own.
Through its failure to deal cour-
Iageously and constructively with
great issues of American foreign pol
icy, the Republican party has made it
more incumbent than ever for the
San Francisco convention to view the
peril of the hour with envisioned
eyes and to speak with frank voice
and unfaltering accent.
The people of America are at heart
unafraid. In times of National and
world crisis they have ever been en-
rolled for right and progress. They
have never compromised principle.
They will not begin to do so now.
The overshadowing issue in 1920
is whether the United States shall
cooperate with the peoples of the
world for the maintenance of peace.
| We are confronted with choice be-
tween reaction with constant threat
of war and progress with eternal
promise of peace. Two millions of
| Americans went to France to offer
! their lives that the Great War might
be the last war. They won a peace
that can be made permanent and eff
fectual. 1t is for the millions of
American voters to decide if their
victory shall be accepted. or the dead
I shall have died in vain.
The Republican party has repudi-
ated the victory won on the field of
battle. 1t has declared it will have
nothing to do with the peace for
which our men fought and bled and
died on the fields of the Marine and
the Argonne.
Some great party must take up the
fight, must seize the torch and keep
the faith. VIII that party be the
Democratic party? Millions of mo-
theirs pray that it will. Millions of
Americans who believe that the high
est honor that can come to a Nation
is the courage to do its duty as it
finds it believes that the Democratic
party will. II is inconceivable that

Nominee Harding will have on his
hands will be to explain how under

in which he has placed himself by

Less than two years ago Leader
Lodge took the following stand ex-

The man who edits the average
country newspaper cannot well avoid
treading on somebody's toes contin-
ually; must expect to be censured Of
ten for unintentional failures; must
expect hard work and little thanks
must expect to be called a coward be-
cause he does not pitch into" every
thing that somebody thinks is wrons

ly on public evils; he must expect to

At the November election the peo-
pie of Florida will have the opport-
unity to vote for an amendment to
the State constitution, which if
adopted will allow the State to bond
for a statewide system of good roads
and get its share of Federal aid mon
ey. A statewide system of hard
roads will mean more pleasure autos
and more commercial trucks. More
pleasure autos and commercial
trucks mean fewer passengers and
less freight for the railroads to haul.
We are not surprised that henchmen
for the railroads and a few newspa-
pers influenced or partly owned by
them are fighting the amendment.
