Not only in this State, but all over
the country is Senator Duncan U.
Fletcher appreciated as one of the biz
men Of the nation-one whom II
would be crime to replace. OF his
worth. to the State, S.A. Jones, a
citizen of Waynesville, NC, writes
the following to the Tampa Times
which shows ow he is regarded by
citizens of other States. Mr.. Jones
says:
Il notice there is opposition to the
reelection of Senator Fletcher. It
could hardly be conceived that the
people of Florida would unseat SEN
ator Fletcher.
II Senator Fletcher lived north of
the Mason and Dixon line, he would
be valuable Democratic presidential

thing in all his life but originating
and finally getting into operation the
great farm loan law, it would have
been worth and has, and will be, a life

The impossihlity, as a rule, to ge

The impossihlity, as a rule, to get
the best type of enumerators is going
t. be reflected in the general result
Of the census Of the country. 1t is
predicted that the census figures will
fall short of the real number of peo-
pie in the United States by fifteen or
twenty millions. On all preceding oc
casions census jobs were eagerly
sought by the most competent people,
but at this period of high wages the
compensation did not appeal, and the
government had to use such materia!
as could be had. OF course, in many
communities excellent enumerators
were engaged for the work; but
broadly, as a countrywide PROPOSE
ton, the people who were available
for the 1920 census fell short Of those
who took the census in preceding
years, and this qualitywill show up
in a much lower population coun.
than actual conditions justify.

OWN YOUR HOME

1t is not surprising that the opin-
ion Of delegates to the convention of
the American Hotel Mems Association
was that in another ten years every
body will be living in hotels. The
wish is ever father to the thought.
Undoubtedly the trend is in that d.
rection. First in the evolutionary
process, as the hotel men say, came
the home with garden and flower bed
Then came the apartment. Then as
rents increased, and with them the
difficulty of Obtaining help. the fam
lily hotel seemed the solution Of do
nestle difficulties. But there is a
stage beyond. which is the individual
home again--only this time with
most of the ancient drudgery taken
out Of it by competent planning and
machinery.
Somehow the reports of the build.
ing of small individual homes all over
the country rather counterbalances
the reports of migration of city dwell
ers to hotels. The hotel does, indeed
eliminate domestic difficulty. Blu
long continued hotel life offers in
stead the most deadly forms of bore
dom.
Hotel life does we'll only for people
without children and without san,
ambitions. Too easy life, life to-
far removed from the primitive toucl
of the earth in ministry to primitive
needs, makes weaklings. The instinc
for the individual rof-tree is deep
founded in American ideals OF growth
opportunity and liberty. Consider thu
fate Of a nation OF childre brough
up without kitchens and backyards?-
