Mr.. Hearst Bolts the Party.

William Randolph Hearst says he
has bolted the Democratic party.
Wherein he is more astute than Sen
ator James A. Reed, who waited until
he was thrown out. There has been
no real suspicion anywhere for
months that Mr.. Hearst has consider
ed himself a Democrat Neither has
there been evidence that anybody else
considers him as such. His firta-
tious interference with the Republi-
can convention at Chicago in the i'm
possible attempt to win the G. o. P.
nomination for Hiram Johnson cost
him every chance of influence in
Democratic counsels.
Mr.. Hearst says he will organize a
party about the person of the belli-
cose and belabored Reed. Hiram
Johnson is reported to have refused
to deal with him, ard Reed is now his

position is not a program, but a
straddle. With the greatest issues
in many years before the country to,
day, the Democrats have met the test
fearlessly.
What is the dominant thought OF
the Democratic platform? Proper
| ly, it voices unqualified approval OF
the league of nations, rejects reser-
vations which would impair it's in
! tegrity, but leaves the way open for
reservations that make clearer or
more specific the obligations of the
United States to the league. There
is no blind demand for ratification
without the dOtting of an / or the
crossing of t, but an open-minded
attitude that has been the conviction
OF sincere friends of the treaty from
the start. The party stands behind
President Wilson in his refusal to &C
cept reservations that would mean
notification, and it stands ready to
make the phraseology plain enough
to satisfy the most fearsome of peace
advocates.
1t is to the credit of the Democrat
ic party that in an hour that called
for vision, sound thought and cour-
age, its convention did not fear to
see, to think and to dare. With
such platform, meeting every vital
issue squarely and fearlessly, and
with the men selected as the stand
ard bearers TO lead tn way, hope for
a Democratic victory in November is
much brighter today than a few
months ago.

In nearly every Florida town OIL
city there is a movement on foot for
identifying and making the place
more attractive, in order to catch the
eye of the winter tourist or the pros
pector. 1t is a well-known fact that
in order to touch the pocketbook
you must first please the eye, and
towns, their streets strewn
with waste paper, paTkways grown
up with weeds and sandspurs, vacant
lots presenting the appearance of a
ground, unkempt front
yards and lawns and backyards lit
tered with empty tin cans and gar
bage are not at all pleasing to the
eye. When the tourist or prospector
enters such a town or city he is at
once impregnated with a feeling of
disgust. He gathers the impression
that its inhabitants are a shiftless,
dirty, careless set, Indifferent as to
the health of the community and I'M
of the interests of property
owners. He Immediately departs,
seeking a more attractive place in
which to spend the winter or make
an investment.-High Pilot.

A STRONG PLATEORM.

Those who hoped the Democratic
convention would adopt a construc-
tive, progressive platform, a coura-
geous platform that did not straddle
the big issues confronting the coun-
try, as does the Chicago platform,
find their hopes realized in the Wig
orous document written at San
Francisco. Upon the great issues OF
foreign and domestic policy the pro-
gram mapped out is bold, audacious
sometimes; and in but a few instan-
ces does it evadc-and it never straG-
dies.
The platform adopted will not meet
with unanimous approval. There
viii be many who will wish that this
or that plank were different. There
in is the surest test of its strength,
for the program that aTouseG no OPP

Everybody is hearing things. A
Chicago newspaper has made the
rounds of employment agencies to
learn the status of farm labor and
has discovered that the lure "of the
city is bringing all the farm boys to
town.
OF a group of men working in a
Detroit factory at $40 per day, six
signified their intention to buy farms
and take their families into the coun-
to live. They agreed that under
present conditions they could make
more money as farmers, live more
comfortably and rear their families
more satisfactorily.
1t is a strange period of transition
in which we live.-Detroit News.

papers have published articles at
tempting to show that the bond issue
means an increase in the state tax

say the least, for the fact is that

We do not know anything, so to
speak, of the ms and outs of the
waterfront park muddle, but we do
know that delay in making an effort
to get the matter Strengthened out
is not helping to clear it up, and we
know that so long as the affair is in
its present more or less tangled
state the waterfront park is a liabil-
ity instead of one of the towns most
valuable assets, which it should be
and can be made if the tangle is
Strengthened out. Imagine the water
front lined with beautiful palms,
flowers and tropical foliage instead
of the ground barren, as it now is,
except for weeds and other unattrac-
tive growth. Beautified as it would
be possible to beautify it, the park
would be the greatest of Punta Cor
da's man-made attractions and one
that could not be rivalled by any
other in Florida. AS it now stands,
the waterfront park is a losing pro-
position not only to those interested
in a financial way but to the town as
a whole. The Waterfronts and Parks
Committee of the Commercial Club
Is going to make an effort to clear up
the middle so that the park may be
beautified. 1t is a problem that has
bafled others, but we believe it can
be solved if the committee does not
allow itself to be too easily discour-
aged, and they have pledged them
selves to stay with the matter until
success rewards their efforts.

The st. Augustine Record says that
the Florida Automobile Association
was the first organization to endorse
the proposed amendment to the state
constitution, which if adopted will
make it possible for the state to issue
bonds for statewide system of high
ways. If anybody starts an honor
roll of the newspapers supporting
the amendment, we claim the Herald

Read that editorial from the St.
Augustine Record concerning the
commission-manager form of govern
ment. The commission manager
form promotes progress, economy,
efficiency, harmony, and eliminates
waste, ineficiency, peanut politics

ment. The change from council
manic to commission-manager gov
eminent involves no complicated pro-
cedure and under the law the people
can take the first step if necessary.
