County Division Wins.

We don't agree with the gentle
man who is quoted on the front
page this week under the caption
AS Others See Us" in what he saws
about golfers and golf courses. He
probably tried golf and found that
it was too strenuous for a man seek
ing complete rest, and took to fish
ing. But we do agree with him in
what he says about keeping up the
dock and its worth to the town as
an attraction for fishermen, and
when he criticised the side streets
and the way IL which the lows is
.allowcd to 90 to wreck and ruin he
spat out mouthful of absolute
.trutl, and there is no use in trying
to deny thing that everyone with
eyes can see to be the truth. Punta
Gcrda is in a deplorable condition
for the want of someone with
enough interest, authority and back
bone to enforce the laws and keep
the town in q condition demanded
by common deceacy and regard for
the health of its citizens. We need
someone to ran" the town, for it
is not being run now. A change in
the form of government, SUBSTITUTE
ing for the present system a small
commission. say of three, and a
manager to be paid a salary COM
meaaurate with the service demand
ed. Is the only solution. and the
sooner the pcople of Punta Gorda
realize this and move to make the
change. the sooner they will begin
to get the governmental service to
which they are entitled for the taxes
they pay.

Whatever nope has been held tina

paramount issues of the day con
structively and courageously is dis
PEELED by the platform of buncombe
and straddle adopted by the Chica.
go convention. Given the mightest
issues of half century with which
to deal, the Republican party has
evidenced neither conviction nor
courage. In an hour when the Ma
ton is calling for a definite state
ment of principles and purpose it
has been able to evolve nothing bet
! ter than glittering generalites and
violent abuse. Upon neither Mex
leo nor the League of Nations has
the party a mind worthy the decig-
nation. And it is becoming more
clear with every day that these are
the most significant problems the
people are called upon to face.
The platform bitterly condemns
1.-The inactive policy of the present
administration in Mexican matters"
and pledges the party to "a consis-
tent, firm and effective policy to-
ward Mexico" Does this mean
war? If not, what Goes it mean?
If it does mean war why does the
Republican party not honestly ad-
nit IT'S purpose The inactive pol
icy" of Woodrow Wilson has al
ready sent two expeditions of arm
ed forces upon Mexican soil. How
many expeditions of how many
hundreds of thousands of men
would the Republican firm and eff
fective policy" send? If they
would not send more troops than
Wilson has sent. how could their
policy be frmer?
The platform utterly repudiates
the treaty of Versailles and the
League of Nations to preserve peace
1t lauds the Senators" without
any distinction between the Lodge
group who pretended to be for the
league with reservations" and the
Johnson group who were unqualif-
eddy against any league. Mr.. John
son claims the plank is a total vic
tory for him. Then the party wants
nc league. But:
The Republican party stands for
agreement among the nations to
preserve the peace Of the world. We
believe that such an international
association must be based upon in
ternatio1al justice and must pro-
vide methods which shall maintain
the rule of public right by develop
ment Of law and the decision of i'm
part'al courts and which shall Sc
cure instant and general interna-
tiOnal conference whenever peace
shall be threatened by political act
ion, so that the nations pledged to
do and insist upon what is just and
fair may exercise their influence
and power for the prevention of
war"
