Good Roads


/ have always been an advocate OF
good roads. The adoption by the last
Legislature Of law which meets the
requirements of Federal aid for state
roads has eliminated the necessity
for further education of the people
on the value OF good roads. If elected
II will use all the powers Of the Office
to see that the funds raised for good
roads are efficiently and economically
administered and that each and every
section of the state receives its full.
and fair proportion of the roads pro.
vided by that legislation.
Education
During my legislative career I have
always taken keen interest in educa-
tional matters Florida's school sys-
tenn compares favorably with that If
any other state in the Union. 1t has
been my constant endeavor while con-
nected with the public administration
to advance the interest of Florida's
public schools in every particular.
Slowly and gradually we have built
up public system which promises
complete education for every child 1f
the state with the expense equitably
distributed among all the people. II
would favor the Inauguration of farm
schools for boys and girls. Agricul
ture is the basis of the prosperity of
the state of Florida The majority Of
boys aiid girls we are now educating
in our common schools will find their
vocation in the farms, groves and gar
dens of Florida. They should be
given every opportunity for early and
thorough education in agriculture as
a part of our public school system,
and the day of the 40to so dollar per
month teacher is gone. The best
none too good, and to get the best We
must pay high salaries.
Suffrage
The time has come when the legis-
lature of Florida should give the
people of the state an opportunity to
pass upon the question whether the
women Of the state should be admit
ted to the suffrage. The magnificent
wcmanhood of Florida has done its
share in building UP our state. Dur
ing the great war, now happily ended,
there was no more loyal, earnest or
selfsacrificing class among all our
people than our women. am not in
favor, however, of the legislature of
the state of Florida ratifying the
amendment to the Federal Constitu
ton giving women the right to vote,
as believe such action is surrender
of state sovereignty to the Federal
government. not contemplated by the
Fathers of the country and subvertive
of true democracy. | believe it to be
a prerogrative of the state, and the
state alone should exercise it.
Great Danger
One of the great dangers that faces
our country at this time is the de
velopment Of class feeling, dividing
one portion of the people from anoth
er, one industry from another, con-
stantly making for greater disorder
and dissension among the people who
must live at peace if they are to full
fill their manifest destinies. If elect.
ed will endeavor to overcome THIS
condition of affairs in this state.

less consideration than have other in

the question of taxes, the great prob
lem of civilization is to see that the
burden of taxation will be equalized
and not excessive upon the individual

Let me say that Florida is more
promently before the. people of this
nation, as state for homeseekers
than any other state in the Union, and
every legitimate inducement should be
offered, not only to homeseekers but
to capital seeking investment. And
We should give more attention to the
quality of settlers. than to the quaint

Labor
Labor is the handspring that moves
the world it matters not whether the
man carries a hod, plows the soil,
works in store or in an office-the
man worth while is the man who
works. Labor and capital go hand in
hand and both are essential to the
development and upbuilding of the
state. | believe the labor to be
worthy of his hire, and should receive

Our Soldiers and Sailors
To the Worlds Greatest War, now
ending, Florida sent more than thirty
thousand of her brave boys. They rep
resented every station in life, every
religious creed, and every political
faith. Many of them will never re-
turn. Some died in cantonement
camps, others on foreign soil, but all
made the great sacrifice to uphold
Liberty and Justice. They died that
we might not live in vain. Let us so
live that they shall not have died in

Our duty is to bring peace and con-

Exiled From Homes.
Since the beginning Of the war tn.
Turkish Armenians have been largely
refugees from their homes. A simple
agricultural people, they have been
exiles from their farms, deprived of
all opportunity to support themselves.
Year by year their sufferings have in
creased. Now, year after fighting
has ceased, they are still living the
life OF nomads, able to continue to
keep alive only by virtue Of American
philanthropy.
These homeless peOple-"filthy inf
dels" to the Turk-were good enough
to exert their poor might In our be-
half while the war was still in the
balance. Massacres OF a half century
had not so broken their spirit that
they dared not fight for right and for
democracy when justice was the issue.
We accepted their aid then. Surely
we shall not pass them by without
compassion now.

In the quest OF midwinter coats, we
find that salespeople quote, with mad
dening calmness, prices that seem out
rageously high. There is stake 1t

one knows better than they, that good
looking wool coats, fur trimmed, are
as high as the Himalayas. and good
fur coats landed far out OF reach of
the average purse. But in midwinter
we must have cold-weather coats. and
we all want one that looks well in
something like proportion to the mon,

two coats that belong to a class as
rich looking as possible and as good
as gold, without being in the class of

In the matter Of initiating natural
furs the looms have achieved such a
triumph that it takes painstaking
scrutiny to tell which is which, at
little distance from the eye. Excellent
fur fabrics have Outclassed cheap furs
for some time, in point Of beauty and
they excel nearly all furs in durability.
Their wearing qualities are amazing.
The two coats pictured are made OF
fur fabrics that initiate natural furs-
sealskin and caracul. 1t will be seen
that they are finished with rich, nat
ural skins in collars and cuffs and
that they are not Outclassed by their
trimmings. These coats are not to be
classed as inexpensive except by com.
