INVITING TROUBLE

Along the street came a girl in her
teens, carrying a heavy child. It was
hard work, and she set him down
saying, Il can't carry you another
step; you are much too heavy" The
child howled.
In the girls tone there was a lit.
tie evaporation and something that
seemed like blame-the child was
too heavy" Then, too, she was di.
rectly announcing that she would no
longer do what he had evidently de-
manded.
Suppose that she had said In a
cheerful tone, Now the nice big boy
is going to walk while and give sis.

howled; but she would not have been

DIFFERENT VIEW POINTS

One young man in this city, and he
may be fair sample of his class; is
curiosity to thinking men.
He is capable of earning from eight
to ten dollars day in his highly spe
cialized trade.
Does he work at it constantly, and
thus endeavor to build up his bank
account? 1t he preparing to build a
home? Is he planning at all for the
future?
Well. not if one listens to him
awhile and believes what he says, he
is doing nothing of the kind.
In all probability his father, at the
same age, drew down the munifcent
pay of twenty-five dollars a month,
and was doing pretty we'll at that.
In all probability the old gentleman
managed to save something on that
twenty-five, and he probably looked
we'll after his family. His stipend
grew. probably, as the years went on,
because he stuck to his job.
But this young fellow thinks there
is something wrong, radically wrong
in the scheme Of things and he does
not propose to work all the time, ito
make somebody else RICH" not he
Therefore, three or four days a
week is all the time he will give his
employer, If he can possibly get out of
working the rest of the time-and he
can. He makes enough to support
himself for week, and that is about
all To perdition with the rest of it,
as ne is not going to work for the
masters in order to help pile up rich
es for them.
And then he wants something more.
He wants the boss to step down and
out and let him have a full voice in
the management of the concern for
which he works, at times. He may
not have the ability to be manager,
but what's the difference? He is
tired OF working with his hands, for
some one else.
And besides, in this day, nobody
has right Ohdye ANYTHING moro
than anyone else may possess, and
there ought to be general division

Of wealth and everything would DC
entirely lovely, according to this par
ticular young man and his peculiar
and disconnected ideas.
One of the curious things about the
psychology of the day, is the diner
ence between the viewpoint OF this
Young man and his kind, and that OF
his father and his kind. One does not
seem willing to work even at high
pay, while the other was glad to get
any old job at any old time, just so
he could keep employed and food and
raiment moving toward his family.
What we are going to do about 1t
does not appear on the surface OF
things as they are-Miami Herald.

LET GEORGE DO 1T

II the state of Florida should en-
gage in road building to the extent OF
five million dollars year as some OF
the bondomaniacs wish, there is reas-
! OF to doubt whether the result would
be any additional mileage Of good
roads in Florida. let the state appro-
pirate sum supposed to be adequate
tc the needs of road construction and
the counties, which have been build
ing roads, will turn the whole matter
over to the state.
Why should county tax itself OF
bond itself to build good roads when
the state is building them for other
counties? The plans Of the advocates
Of bonds include the construction OF
roads through a part of the state that
has spent scarcely any money on
roads and very little il any construc-
tioi is proposed for the counties thai
have gone to work to help themselves,
The counties need roads for the
farmers, leading into the county sites
or other towns from which the farm
ers ship their products and in which
they trade. Such roads would NOT
be helped by the state unless they
happened to be on the lines proposed
connecting every county site. MOI
one-tenth Of the farmers Of the state
would live on such roads sand they
would not help one-tenth Of the farm
ers in the marketing Of their prod
ucts.
But with the money spent on such
roads there would be none to be spent
on other roads and 80 this bondins
proposition would result in depriving
agricultural sections of roads that II
the bond amendment were rejected
would be built because Of the local
need Of them. No attention whatever
will be paid to local needs. The
whole plan contemplates Joy riding on
a statewide scale and it does not con-
templates anything else.
We have seen statements that the
roads to be built by the state might
cost forty thousand dollars a mile
If so the $30,O00,000 that is being
talked Of would build only $50 miles,
or at hve millions a year would build
only 125 miles a year. There is also
talk OF construction Of 5000 miles
to carry out the plans Of the advo
Gates OF bonds. This would mean
bonding the state not for $4,000. 900
hut for $12o,00O,000 and this could
be done in few years by raising the
assessment to its true value though
whether the state could ever paw II
or not is another question.
The advocates Of bonds do not
make their plans clear. They merely
wish the people Of Florida to shut
their eyes and trust them. If we know
the people of Florida they will not
