HARDEE Is RAPIDLY GAINING
STRENGTH IN GOVERNORS RACE
NJ. L. Dawson, Campaign Manager
Says Mr.. Hardee VIII Sweep Flor
ida In June Primary--Is Candidate
Of Whole State

Cary A. Hardee will sweep the
state for governor of Florida in the
approaching primary election" stated
M. L. Dawson, Of Live Oak, Mr.. Har-
dee's campaign manager, on his visit
here last week In connection with the
Hardce rally in the Seminole hotel on
last Friday night.
while we are confident of sue
cess" continued Mr.. Dawson, we do
not intend to make any mistake In
letting up in the campaign. In fact,
we have just started the fight, and
between now and June s. the date of
the primary, will see some OF the
most vigorous campaigning Florida
ever experienced.
"The Hardee sentiment is growing
rapidly in all sections of Florida. We
account for this because Mr. Hardee
has consistently pitched his campaign
en- the plane that he is the candidate
for the whole state, and not for any
particular section, :
In commenting upon the sentiment
for Mr.: Hardee in the various Sec
tions of Florida, Mr.. Dawson stated
that west of the Suwannee river Mr..
Hardee would poll two to one, while
east Of the Suwannee his majority
will be overwhelming. "Mr. Hardee is
likewise strong on the East Coast, de-
spite the fact that one Of his oppo-
nents is from that section" stated
Mr.. Dawson.
In this connection, Mr.. Dawson
said he was confident of his candidate
even carrying Dade county.
And we are confident about the
central and southern sections of
Florida, likewise" said Mr.. Dawson.
"as Mr.. Hardee has developed re-
markable strength down there"
while everything is bright, and
getting brighter day by day, I want
10 say again that we are not going to
ease up at all. We are out to win
and we will not stop until the polls
close on June g. concluded Mr.. Daw-
son. Jacksonville Times Union.

The Gainesville Sun calls attention
to q proposed amendment to the State
Constitution, which would empower
the legislature to authorize the issu-
ance of bonds equal to s per cent Of
the entire value Of the property of the
people. The paper points out that
this would amount to about twenty
millions the Legislature could bond
Tor, and this inevitably and material.
" would increase the burden of tax
alton, which already is of staggering
weight. We believe the people
should not be bonded unless they an.
prove the proposition by their direct
vote. Let the Legislature devote its
time to law making (or, better still,
to law repealing) and let the people
have the whole say as to any bonding
proposition.

thesRepub1ican steering committee"
 So strong was the opposition that the rule giving the bill its status was approved sby the marrow majority of only three votes. On the vote on pass age of the bill itself, the majority was overwhelmingly in favor of it but dozens of members were resentful that they had to take the bill as drawn by the committee or none at all.
 Another illustration of the present autocratic control in the House was furnished recently when Speaker Gillett refused to recognize Repre- sentative Byrnes of South Carolina, to make a unanimous consent request that he be given five minutes more time. MT. Byrnes had almost con cluded a speech attacking the Repub- Hcan party, but the Speaker refused any extension of time to ask unani- nous consent to consider his remarks.
 When the bonus bill was, brought before the House under a "gag rule" which provided for the suspension Of all rule and passage of the bill with out any change whatever, Represen- tative Mann, Republican, said:

which -the-tnvestore ewouldsdo weafeto hear in mfndwtn sdnvesting in such an issue.
 On the othershand, in@the case Of large issues where a sinking fund IS established primarily to increase the equity behind the issue, recognition is sometimes made of the fact that the equity can be increased by ad- ding to the property investment as well as by reducing the debt and the copany is given the. option of applying the sinking fund payments toward plant increases, such increases not to be capitalized. An instance of this may be found in the preferred stock of a company issued this year; it IS provided that for the first three years the sinking fund may, at the com panys option. be invested in addi- tionaI tangible assets. Another in stance is found in the first and re- funding mortgage bonds of a power company. The mortgage provides a special trust fund equivalent to 12A per cent. of gross earnings to be used in the order named, for repairs and renewals and replacements, for un- capitalized additions to properties, and any balance for purchase or re- demption of any of the company's outstanding bonds.
 It will thus be seen that no definite rules can be laid down concerning sinking funds. but that the question is one to be settled for each issue in accordance with the circumstances of the case. A sinking fund has positAe disa advantages as well as advantages for the investor. It renders the tenure of the investment somewhat uncer- tain as the investor may find that his bond has been called at a time when he has no desire whatever 70 shift the investment. A still greater ob- jection is that the investor who looks after his own holdings and does not avail himself of the services of some bank or banker runs a considerable danger of not seeing a notice of call and not knowing that his bond has been called until he presents his next interest coupon and learns that he has lost six months interest. While, therefore, the investor purchasing g issues offered by experienced and con- servative investment institutions is safe in relying on them to have in- sisted upon proper sinking fund pro- visions, he nevertheless does well to give this feature some consideration.

''CANNONISM'H HAS
 BEEN. SUCCEEDED BY "CILLE[TISM''
Gag Rule" We'll Worked During Soldier Bonus
 Bill Consideration.

Washington, June 10 - Cannon ism" of a decade ago in the House of Representatives has been sue ceeded in the present Congress by '-GiIlettim'' and rule by a steering committee'' which have again brought into play all the autocratic power of former years.
 This was remarkably illustrated in the passage of the soldier bonus bill in the House witch was damned through over both Republican and Democratic protests without any op- portunity for amendment whatsoever, and with limited debate. Regardless of the merits of the bonus bill, men on both sides of the House, including former Speaker Champ Clark, and Representative James R. Mann former floor leader e the RepubIi- cans bitterly objected to considera- tion of the bonus bill under "gae rule"
 Their opposition was against the method of passing thS legislation and forbidding the 435 members of the House opportunity to offer or suggest any change in the bill as approved by

~CongressshaS been in almost Acon- tinuous session for almost year. The Republican side has a reasonably large majority. If we say to the country, as we will say if this rule passes, that the Republican majority in a years time had been unable to bring in legislation and perfect it where it is subject to amendment, it acknowledges its impotency and its incapacity. It will be called to the attention of your constituents on every stump that the Republican party has not enacted much recon structive legislation and it will be told in addition that the Republican ma jority of the House was afraid to en- act legislation under the ordinary rules and was incapacitated from fol- lowing the ordinary practice.
 What will you answer when men say to you that a Republican majority in the House passes a revenue bill calling for raising a billion and a quarter dollars without a chance to amend it? No party in the history of the country has ever passed revenue bill under a suspension of the rules,

OF MEXICO
 CITIZENS MADE
 QUICK GETAWAY

Mexico City, June 1o.-Wi1d con- fusion attended the evacuation of the Mexican capital by President Car ranza and his following. Revolution ists were approaching and those who were going had to go quickly.
 Rolling stock had keen gathered at the Mexicano Railway terminal in preparation for their departure. When the word was passed down through the various government de- partments that the exodus was about to begin, thousands of governm ent employees, leading civilians who had been strong supporters of the Car ranza regime, partisan Journalists and others headed for the. trains on foot and every kind of vehicle ob- tainable.
 Throughout the night before the trains left, constant stream of coaches and automombi1es deposited government officials, politicians and other government hangers-on at the railway station amid a babel of cries and entreaties to porters and ex- pressmen.
 Next morning they came in in creased number
 Loaded down with buIging bundles, suit cases, bags, hampered by dogs, crying children and confused ser wants, the procession might have party had it not been for the strain ed, frightened expression on the fugitives' faces.
 The National Railways were the first to store their impediments on the trains assigned to them. Then came government officials shepherd ing porters with great stacks Of records, and office furniture. In the excitement, the officials had failed to show discrimination, for many of the cargoes consisted of hat racks, cuspidors and even window curtain rods. All this heterogeneous mass was dumped into passenger coaches and gondolas and between pieces of artillery and airplane equipment on flat cars.
 While some of the porters com piled with their duty, others were to be seen streaking not toward the Buenavista station, but toward the poorer sections of the city, carrying what evidently will find a ready sale in the capital curio and secondhand shops.
 At only one track was there a semblance of order-the siding where the treasure cars had been spot ted. Here Luis Cabrera was in com nand and, after the trains had left, not even a copper centavo was found by treasure seekers. There were 300 cars of all classes and 24 locomotives in the station ready to leave by mid night Estimates as to the soldiers and civilian refugees vary, but the generally accepted figure is placed at about 5000, a village on wheels.
 For hours the fugitives waited, but the trains did not start and flying rumors kept the occupants of the cars peering anNously into the night for the vanguard of the revolutionary forces. Agents of the liberal con- stitutionalists had tampered with the train crews and it was necessary to send patrols to round them up,
 Next morning locomotive bells be- gan to clang, whistles shrieked and a great wave of weeping farewells arose. Bursting with soldiers and women camp followers, officials and civilians, baggage and munitions,

Manuel Pelaez, the oil district chief, entered Tampico, was feasted and toasted and interviewed to the effect that he was not per petual revoIutionist and saw in the liberal revolutionary movement united country. He said the Cedillo brothers and other former rebels in the Tampico district were with him
 Higinio Aguilar, Pedro Gabay and others between Mexico City and Vera Cruz, helped impede the advance of the Carranza trains but while they are supposed to be under the leader ship of Felix Diaz, his name has not been mentioned in connection with the operations. The successors of Emi1iano Zapata in Morelos, Gene vevo de la O and Va1entin Reyes came into the capital with General Obregon. It is stated that, on the isthmus south of Vera Cruz, trains are operating without guards for the first time in years.

Farm Tenantry Increases in Middle West

H. III. Shutz, federal statistician for
the state.
'The percentage of rented farms
has increased somewhat in the south
ern half of Wisconsin," Joseph A.
Becker, agricultural statistician at
Madison, Wis, writes. However, the
large number of new farms being
opened up in the northern part of the
state, practically all of which are OPP
Grated by owners, has more than kept
up the percentage of owned farms"
Farm tenantry increased 4 per cent
in Illinois in the ten-year period from
1909 to 1919, according to figures COM
piled by the state department of agri-
culture at Springfield. Tenantry in
1919 was estimated at 45.5 per cent.
Farm tenantry in Ohio will show
only an increase of per cent over
1910, in the opinion of A. Q. Falconer,
head of the rural economics depart
ment at Ohio State university.
Farm tenantry in Minnesota is stead
ily increasing because of the advanced
prices of farm lands and hesitancy
on the part of many retiring farmers
to relinquish title to their lands, ac-
cording to M. j. Holmberg, state COM
missioner. of agriculture.

DISLIKE SONS TO GROW UP
Few Mothers Welcome the Time When
Their Boys Go Out Into the
Hard World.

Almost every mother keeps her boy
in "knee pants" just as long as she
can; she hates to see him becoming a
man, for she feels that he is getting
away from her.
A mother sees only with reluctance
the boy pass from the love and care
and peace with which she has sur
rounded him, out into the world of
pitiless endeavor in which he must
play his part.
The mothers selfish f0ndness dis
closes itelf In the ludicrous child's
garment and the wornout, home-bred
horse with which she sends forth the
would-be knight. These are to the
modern analytical mind painfully sym
bolic OF the unconscious interference
on the part of parents with the proper
adult equipment of their children for
an independent life. Their apparent
fondness conceals the unconscious wish
that the child will find himself I'M
equipped for the greater world and
compelled to turn back to the shelter.
