TO MANY HOLIDAYS

We have too many legal holidays
Every one of them is a bad break in
business. It is we'll enough to OBJ
serve Christmas and the fourth of
July, but on the other days that the
postoffices are shut nearly everybody
has to work as usual and it is a great
Inconvenience to the general public
not to be able to get its mail or buy
stamps.-Ocala Star.
The Star is right and wrong. There
are too many holidays observed ~ a
few business houses and legal Offices
but as a matter Of fact one day each
week beside Sunday. should be OBJ
served as a holiday by one and all,
when we should all get out Of our
regular channels of duty, get away
from our usual occupations and
mingle with nature. The working day
should be increased to 10 hours per
day for four days a week, with eight
hours on Saturday-giving the pres
ent number Of working hours. and one
day a week taken off entirely.-De-
Land News.

dustry and good sense. He has held
the scales Of justice with impartiality,
knowing neither friend nor enemy in
the discharge Of his duties. There is
no doubt that he could be elected for
another term if he would again try for
the nomination, and his friends both
expected and desired him to run, but
he has other plans. The office Of
county judge needs man Of good
judgment and the highest integrity,
and the people Of Marion must see TO
it that William E. Smith has a
worthy successor.

ASKS CATS TO EXPLAIN

The Gainesville Sun pertinently in
quires:
"While the governor is on the stump
telling the people about, what he
calls, the shortcomings Of Senator
Fletcher, there are some things he
ought to explain about himself The
report of the state treasurer has just
been issued. The people may easily
get this report by writing for it. It
shows the receipts and expenditures
for 1919. The general balance sheet
shows collections by the treasurer to
be six millions, three hundred and
thirty-four thousand, twenty-five dol
lars and fifteen cents, and the outgo
for the same time, to be six millions,
three hundred and sixty-nine thou
sand, seven hundred and ffty-three
dollars and ninety-nine cents. This
would make, if we calculate correctly,
an outgo of twenty-five thousand,
seven hundred and twenty-eight dol
lars and eighty-four cents more than
income.
Explain that, governor.
''Then, too, we notice that the sa1ar-
les in the executive department (the
governors office, was twenty-seven
Thousand dollars.
Explain that, governor"

The Fort Lauderdale Herald says:
From all parts of the state come re-
ports of good progress made by Cary
a. Hardee in his race for governor,
which is gratifying to the people who
want to see Florida elect a good,
clean business man for it's chief ex-
ecutive. Cary Hardee will make
Florida a high class governor. He
is clean. Even those who are oppos-
ing his election do not deny that he is
honest and that his work is good. He
is a business man. He has proven
that, in the business world. He is a
good speaker and likable man. He
has the polish of the gentleman with
out the smoothness of the politician.
Every man who believes in clean,
business-like government should vote
for him"

Another great inconsistency Of
Samuel Gompers and the American
Federation of Labor is their sympa-
thy with the conscientious objec-
tors" now held by the government.
Ii the federation was to sympathize
with the Germans who stood up like
men and fought the Americans from
the Marine to the Mouse, it would be
more excusable than for sympathiz-
ing with the dirty towards who offer
ed their consciences as an excuse to
keep their carcasses out of danger. If
this sentiment be strong in the cam
erican" Federation of Labor, it is
time it dehorned itself of the first
proper adjective of it's name.

Previous to the last bond election,
a number of voters, either returned
soldiers or other young men who mad
come of age in the previous year or
two, registered with the tax collector,
and some of them may have taken it
for granted that this was all neces-
sary for them to do. All such should
take notice that this registration en-
titled them to vote only at that partic-
ular election, and if they desire to
vote in the bond election of April 20
or the primary in June they must
register again, this time with the
supervisor of registration, who is the
only officer who can permanently en-
roll them as citizens. The county
supervisor is now in his Office in the
courthouse and will be there every
day this month. and his deputies will
have books open in the respective pre-
cincts. Don't forget that. if you are
Of age. have never registered, and
want the privileges of citizen, your
name must be on the county regis
tration books, and nobody but your
self can put it there.

There is one thing the Star would
like to impress on the people of this
city and county In the last few
years we have had a good deal of pub
lie work done-nearly all done by con-
tractors from other cities, who have
underbid our home folks by a few
thousand dollars. Nearly all their
work has been shoddy, and even after
spending large sums in repairs the
work is not or will not be as good as
if it had been done right in the first
place. In the future, let US try and
give our home contractors the work,
and if they don't do it right we will
have some remedy.

General John A. Rosborough, one of
the most prominent Confederate vet
Grams in the state of Florida and who
has for the past several terms been
commandant of the Stonewall Jack
son camp of the United Confederate
Veterans of this city, died at 1886
o'clock Sunday evening at his home at
Windsor, after an illness of several
months. General Rosborough, who was
70 years of age. had been resident
of this county for many years. He was
a native Of South Carolina but moved
TO Florida while still a young man.
His record in the ranks of the Con-
federate armies is one of which the
entire Confederacy may we'll be proud.
For number of years he was COM
mander of the Florida Division of
United Confederate Veterans and was
sent to the state senate from this dis
trict.-Gainesville Sun.
Gen. Rosborough had many friends
among Marion county veterans, and
they will greatly regret to hear of his
death.

In one of his utterances while in
Jacksonville, Mr.. Gompers walled
about the assault on union labor,
which he seems to fear is threatened
with extinction. Mr.. Gompers should
worry. We don't suppose any sensi-
BILE and we'll informed American
wants to see union labor put out Of
business, and we don't think it posi-
BILE to put it out of business. Union
labor is very important element in
the economic strength of America.
Labor unions should live, thrive and
do their part. AS long as they are OF
and with the general mass of the
people, the people will be with them.
It is only when they try to attain their
ends by making war on the public
that the people are against them.

JOHN c. LUNING

| doe Earman in Palm Beach Pos)
! John Christian Luning, state treas
urer Of Florida, was an honored and
distinguished visitor in this city yes
terday.
| John Luning was born in Albany,
Georgia, in 1863, or ffty-six years
ago.
He was left an orphan at an early
age.
| In 1882. or when nineteen years
old, he moved TO Florida and has re-
sided continuously in this state since
that time.
He located at Leesburg. which was
il Sumter county at that time, where
he was engaged in the newspaper
business.
He has had every position Of honor
that citizens Of LeesbuTg and Lake
county, which is his home town and
county, could bestow upon him.
He has been postmaster, treasurer
and mayor Of Leesburg.
| He was a member Of the board Of
| county commissioners of Lake county
for five consecutive terms.
Realizing his ability, the board of
trustees Of the Internal Improvement
Fund and the board of commissioners
Of the everglades drainage district
| elected him as secretary for these
two boards.
This position put him in "close
communion" so to speak, with var
ious governors of Florida.
When B. E. McLin died, Governor
Gilchrist appointed John Luning COM
missioner of agriculture.
When Alonzo C. Groom, state
comptroller, died, Governor Gilchrist
appointed W. Y. Knott. who was state
treasurer, comptroller.
Governor Gilchrist then looked
around for a competent man to be
treasurer of Florida.
| He decided upon John Luning, who
has been the "Handy-Andy" in the
state hours for many years, as state
treasurer Of Florida.
This appointment was made in 1912
and in the primary of that year, also
1916, John Luning has succeeded him
self.
He is a candidate in the June dem
ocratic primary for the same job.
l will tell the world, and do so right
now, that we are going to support
and also vote for him.
He is an honest man.
| He is as cantankerous at times as
it is possible for any human to be.
| Notwithstanding, he is safe. for he
does at all times and under all con-
| ditions what he thinks is right.
He has been known to "buck" the
other six members of the board of
state institutions.
He has been known to rear and
snort to a fare-thee-well.
Notwithstanding, he has always
been known to have the high regard
and respect Of other cabinet officers
and all other citizens of Florida at
all times.
The state treasurer's job pays a
salary of thirty-six hundred dollars a
years, and be it known that the small
business with which | am connected
will pay John Luning this salary, and
it is open for him at any time that
he will take it, TO come into our office
with his conservative methods to keep
US on the straight path and build up
our business.
l don't think anybody can doubt
from the above statement, but that
we are for John Luning.
l like to fuss and squabble with
John Luning.
We have put over two or three rows
really worth while.
We also like to vote for him.

Cummings ExpIodes
 Republican Fallacies
(Snecia1 to The Times)

Santa Fe, N M, Oct 26-Homer S. Cummings of Connect1cut, last night spoke before one of the largest audiences of the campaign here and
 made many converts to the cause of Cox and Roosevelt by a masterly ad- dress in which he exploded many of the fallacies of Republican argu- ments. He said in part:
 The League of Nations is the 1eg1h- mate fruit fo the war. The League is to the Treaty what the soul is to the body and what the brain is to the
 come one of the great facts of history. Critics can no longer find comfort able hiding place behind the pretext
 that they favor League of Nations but are opposed to the suggested
 form of a League of Nations The issue is clear-cut and unmistakab1e.
 They are either in favor of the exist ing League or they are opposed 10 any League at all.
 The world is turning away from the future testing of nations by force of arms and is looking to the establish
 ment of international justice throush the medium of aI concert of nations. | The fundamental fa1lacy of much of i the criticism consists in regarding Ar | tic1e 10 of the proposed League as an
 agreement to make war and not | covenant to preserve peace. No mat | ter how distinguished or how eloquent | men may be who are thus obstinately | blind, their fate is to be pushed aside l TOT the world proposes to IOllOW the | leadership of those whose mission it is to build and not to destroy; and who | have the faith to believe that out of | the anguish of the world will. come | structure of peace, supported and l maintained by the free governments | of the world which, having suffered together, propose that the curse of
 war shall not be visited upon human l ity again.
 1 During the progress of the great | conflict. how often did we hear upon
 the lips of all our people the expres l sion, ttThis must be the last war" What heart is there so cold that it does not warm to such a cause? Who
 will confess that his ardor has been | chilled, that he is willing that Amer ica. should become a stacker nation
 and attempt to draw back with the task unfinished into the fancied se- curity of self-isolation
 | There are those who complain that by entering the League, America will
 surrender her sovereignty. Nowhere in the covenant will there be found any provision or any just inference supporting such an assertion. The
 rendered their sovereignty of Great Britain and France and Italy and
 Japan and nearly forty other coun-
 tries has already been. surrendered. even passing notice. The members of the League have formed a partnership for a mutual purpose and have yield ed only such rights as will make that purpose effective. They yield the right to make war upon other govern ments without notice. Therein lies } the safety of the world. The League Of Nations provides for a mutual sur , rendering of the right upon the part of nations to do evil unchecked and covenant of honor and not a contract 3 of abasement.
