The Leading Question.

The matter of good roads and
bridges is the leading question of the
day in Florida, as it is in a number of
other states. And the leading ques-
ton in this line in this state is the
amendment to the stae constitution to
be voed upon at the November cleo
ton. For this reason we are devoting
more of our space than usual to sin
gle subject upon which the people
will be expected to vote, either for, or
against we feel it our duty to give as
much information on the matters as
possible, and therefore are giving a
thorough discussion of the merits OF
the Amendment as given by Mr.. Fred
Marsh, of Pensacola in a recent ad-
dress. This article is little lengthy,
but inasmuch as Mr.. Marsh has been
selected as chairman of the forces fav-
oring the bond issue it win be worth
while for every voter to read the ar

needs and merits of this amendment

STATE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

The Tampa Times, which for so
long has been fighting for a state
democratic convention, is jubiliant
that the state executive committee has
finally recognized this need.
The Times says:
The Times is naturally gratified
that the propriety of holding a state
democratic convention for which it
has been contending for years has
finally been recognized by the state
democratic executive committee.
The continued used of the primary
system, with never meeting of the
representative party men in conven-
ton, would mean the slow death of
the democratic party of the state by
inanition and dry rot. Its effect has
been seen during the last two years
by the frequent repetition of the ques-
ton, What is a democrat? Who could
tell? Who was qualified to answer
the question? Would the dictum of
Gov. Cats be accepted on that point?
If it would. Heaven help the party.
The fact is, the party needs to get
together in convention at least once in
two years to revive its enthusiasm, re-
store its spirit, and remodel it's prin-
ciples in accordance with the times.
Who knows today where the demo-
cratic party of Florida stands on the
league of nations, the labor question,
woman suffrage or dozen other Ques-
tons before the people of the United
States? Conventions may be subject
to manipulation, sometimes they are
but the primary system sends the vot-
ers to the polls blindfolded to grope in
darkness.
The primary system produces a
great number of mediocre men, but
the convention at least will give US
men of intelligence and standing, men
who carry some weight in the state
With all due respect to the democrat
ic executive committee, we are re-
minded that its functions are execu-
tive. as its name implies, and not ju-
dicial or legislative. 1t cannot for
mulate a policy for the party, as was
shown in the case of the famous Sur
kie resolution of four years ago. K is
elected TO carry out the principles of
the party, but if the party has no
principles. what are its functions? The
party cannot be ruled and guided by
an executive committee, however able
and jealous its members may be- We

mittee, but without Instructions from

A REASON FOR RETRoeREssIoN.


One of the reasons for the success
of prohibition is the fact that these
cities which enforce the prohibition
laws and whose citizens are lawabid-
ing have been found to be the more
progressive cities of the South, and are
the chosen locations for permanent
settlement rather than communities
where the laws are constantly broken,
and where progress is retarded
through laxity of morals.
A striking Illustration of this is
given in the announcement by the
Holmes County Advertiser that some
of the places in that county which
have fallen off in population have be-
come notorious as rum centres where
all laws are regarded lightly, if at all,
and where the religious, civic and edu-
cational life of the community has
been RELOCATED to the background
The Advertiser well says:
People looking for a good place TO
bring up their children do not locate
in such places, and, quite often, the
good people living in such places sell
out and move to places where the bet
ter influences are stressed"
While the census report of Holmes
county shows an increase of a little
over IL per cent for the county as a
whole, about ten precincts are shown
to have lost in population during the
past ten years. This may be accounted
for in a number of instances by reason
of the fact that ten years ago several
saw mills and naval stores plants were
in operation in these precincts, which
now have "cut out" and moved away,
carrying a large portion of the popu-
lation with them. The farming com
munities of the county have not only
held their own in population, but have
increased in a substantial manner.

Redbird Is Well Worthy
of Full Protection

Redbird the Cardinal is a member
of the GrOsbeak, his full name being
Cardinal Grosbeak. Therefore he Is
q member of the Finch family. Being
q Finch he could hardly be less than
a songster. AS a matter of fact this
%aristocrat among birds is doubly
blessed, having a coat of rare beauty
and a charming whistle. He Is a
delight to both eye and ear. Perhaps
1t would he nearer the truth to say
that he Is doubly unfortunate instead
of doubly blessed. In the past, these
exquisite birds were much sought as
cage birds and many were shipped to
Europe.
The cardinal is found from Florida
to Iowa, and as far north as southern
New York. He is, however, most ia
miliar in the South. His coat is a
bright rosy red and he sports a jaunty
cap of the same beautiful color. Even
his bill is red. His throat is black
and there Is black about the base of
the bill.
Mrs. Redbird is not so handsomely
dessed, being quite soberly gowned
as becomes one on whom family cares
rest heavily and who, therefore, can
not afford to be conspicuous. She is,
however, a charming singer, many
ranking her song above his.
Redbird is a faithful husband and
father. He delights to sing to his
mate while she is on the eggs, and
when the little birds are big enough
to leave the nest, he will take charge
Of them and lead them out for their
first lessons in the great world while
their mother prepares for a second
brood.
Like all Finches, the cardinal is a
seed-eater and renders splendid serv-
ice in keeping in check IL variety CT
weed pests. He also eats some in
sects. All in all, he is a citizen to be
encouraged and should be protected
everywhere. Especially during the
nesting season the Redbirds become
very useful in destroying Insects

Why Burberry Should Be Killed.

Why Burberry Should Be Killed.
Death to the barberry plant, which
for many years has held favor in citJ
and country as a decorative shrub, Is
sounded by m editorial in the Ameri
can Lumberman, which says:
'"The specific and unforgivable crime
of the barberry is that it is the agency
through which is perpetuated the blacb
stem rust in wheat, a fungous disease
that attacks the wheat kernels. The
damage to the wheat crop of the Unit.
ed States in 1916 due to rust is esti
mated at 200, 1000, 900 bushels. There Il,
imminent danger of another outbreaf
of rust this year that would wipe Out
more wheat than the entire country
could ave in a year Of the most strin

'The only way to prevent this ca
lamity is to dig up and burn every bar
