CHANGE IN THE
ROAD DEPARTMENT

Governor Cats has made another
exhibition of his propensity to per-
n;cious use of his power, by the re-
moval of Ed Scott. of Arcadia, as a
member of the state road department,
en- the ground of incompetency. To
those who know both men, the gov
ernor's reason will read like broad
joke. Mr.. Scott has been prominent
citizen of Arcadia for many years,
and has been identified with the
growth and development of his section
in many capacities, but particularly in
the matter of good roads. He has al
ways been a booster for good roads,
and was building them in DeSoto
county long before Cats forsook his
pleasant pastime of establishing "nig-
ger" graveyards in the wilds of Ala
bama. However, while expressing
disgust and Indignation at the injus-
tice that has been done Ed Scott, the
governor must be given credit for hav-
ing selected man of high character
and ability as his successor-D. w
stevenson, the Moore Haven banker
Mr.. Stevenson, like Mr. Scott, has
1 long been known as one of the most
estimable and progressive citizens OF
South Florida. and the Times has rea-
son to know that his views on the
tsubject of planning and constructing
the state highways are entirely in
harmony with those of Mr.. Scott
Gov. Cats has now succeeded in com
pletely changing the membership Of
the road department. Whether he ha:
lbettered it or not remains to be seen
His object in making these latter-day
changes is hard to imagine. If i
were at the beginning of his term i
might be thought that he was trying
to build up a machine to perpetuatt
his power, but coming at a time whel
he has but few more days to afflc
the people of Florida, and following
his tremendous reputation at tn,
: polls, it can only be assumed that h
is seeking the qualification of som
pettey feud or personal enmity.-
! Tampa Times.
! The latter, most likely.

The case of II. A. Evans, the travel
ing man, who shot the old Greek here
several months ago. seems to have
come to conclusion. Evans, it will
be remembered, was indicted for as
sault with intent to murder. He
pleaded guilty and was fined s400 and
costs Light as this sentence was,
Evans was dissatisfied with it and
employed a Jacksonville lawyer to go
before the pardoning board at ITALIA
hassee. Judging by letter from a
member of the board, said lawyer
made misrepresentation of the case
and the board. of course, did not try
to obtain any evidence from Marion
county. Evans fine was reduced by
the board to SIS. However, when he
tried to obtain the money from Mar
len county officials, he found it had
been turned into the county treasury
and the attorney general says there is
no way for him to recover it. He was
let down mighty easy, as it was.

president Wilson chose a mighty
fine wife. but he seems to have been
rather careless in picking a brother
in-law," remarks the Ocala Star. Also,
sometimes a man picks a mighty fine

the use of continuing Jacksonville

So far as we can see, there was no
use in your beginning.

A meeting of the sheriffs of the
state was held in Jacksonville the
other day, and it was decided to test
in the courts the new law by which
county officers are to be paid salaries
instead of by the old fee system. We
should think that the salary system
would do very well in the small coun-
ties and in the case of those officers
whose duties do not vary. We doubt,
however, that it will be good for the
people in the case of sheriff of big
county, who always needs one or more
highly trained special men in addition
to his regular force. Catching Grim
inals is a profession, as much as the
law or medicine, and a sheriff should
always have the means to employ the
hest men, and men who will work in
harmony with him in his work of pro.
tecting the public. If the salary sys.
tenn is adopted, the sheriff, in case ar
emergency arises, will always have tC
take the risk of having to pay speciaI
men out of his own pocket, as the
county commissioners, generally on
the alert to hold such expenses down
nay refuse such men what the sheriff
promises them, or sometimes refuse tc
pay them at all.

that old man McSweeney was seven

such fine-looking woman to become

BANKS REPORT BIG
INCREASED DEPOSITS

Reno. Nevada, March A study OF
the statistics regarding accounts in
the savings banks of this city during
the year 1919. in which year prohibi-
ton has been in effect. shows that the
dry regime has had an important effect
upon the financial strength Of the COM
munity. One bank, for example,
showed an increase in deposits In saw
ings accounts in 1919 over those Of
1918 Of s377.114; another bank had an
increase OF $27s,845, and q third In
creased Its savings deposits $2o3,6S0--
these amounts being three or four
times the increase of previous pears.
and this gain having been made de-
spite the increased cost of living.
Another evidence of the economic
gain to the community through prohi-
bition is the fact that during the past
year there has been a very large in
crease in the number of checking ac-
counts in the banks. That this In
crease In commercial accounts Is not
due chiefly to increases in wages Is
evident from the fact that many of
those who have thus opened banking
connections are engaged in occupa-
tions that have not been most bene-
fitted by advances in wages.

COTTON MARKET

New York, March A subsistence
in the demand in near-month shorts
was responsible for a reaction in the
cotton market today following strength
in the forenoon when March scored a
new high record and May was estab
lished at a fresh top mark for the sea-
son. The setback was in the face of
strength and excitement In Sterling
which touched 3.5sh advance of 4oc
In a month.
March made net gain of thirty
eight points and May thirty-six points
above the previous close. July rose
to. s3.4, up to fifty-six points net while
October was carried to 3o.7o or sixty
points net higher. The big discounts
of the late positions and the continued
absence of spot pressure appeared to
have created a fresh buying movement
In the summer and early fall positions.
Trading In the afternoon decreased
and prices lost ground. Toward the
close the list weakened, new low points
for the day being established under
realizing and selling by spot firms as
well as by local and New Orleans in

for the day were SIC for March; "a

strengthening factor in the corn mar
ket were the advance OF i to &c In
cash corn, the abnormal strength in
harley and rye and the billiards in The
West and Northwest which will
doubtless restrict tho movement OF all
grain and corn particularly.
Rye also showed very strong buying

HOSPITAL WILL
BE- ERECTED BY
home MISSIONS
Rev. Condit Tells of Plan for
Modern Hospital To Be
Built at Point Barrow

At Point Barrow. the farthest
North OUTPOST of civilization on the
American continent, at the very tip
of Alaska, the Presbyterian Board
of Home Missions will this summer
establish a modern hospital. cIuip-
ped with the latest scientific ap-
pliances, for the care of sick Ma
tives. This word was brought to Ju-
neau by DR.. James II. Condit, head
of the mission work in Alaska, who
arrived home with Mrs Condit on
the steamer Spokane last night. af-
ter an absence of nearly three
months in California and the East.
The building of the hospital is
made possible by a gift of $500
by wealthy resident of the East,
who asked that his identity remain
unknown DR.. Condit declared that
the mission work at Point Barrow
has been seriously hampercd in the
/ past by woeful lack of proper med
ical and hospital facilities, which
was particularly noticeable during
! the recent flu epidemic. Arthur
Eide and Mrs, Eide will assist DR.
4. II. Spence, in charge of the mis-
sion at that point.
To Visit Point Barrow
DR.. Condit stated this morning
that he expects to leave on the Ala
media June % for Seattle, from
which point he will take passage Oh
| the Victoria for Nome July l. From
Nome he will proceed to Point Bar
row on the United States Revenue
| Cutter Bear, accompanied by Mr., and
! Mrs. Eide. The material and sup
| plies for the new hospital will be
shipped on the schooner Olga, which
| has been chartered for at least one
| trip. The lumber for the building
is now being assembled in knock
down form for speedy erection.
Last year the unusually large
amount of floating ice in the Arctic
Ocean made it impossible for DR.
Condit to pay his customary annual
visit to Point Barrow. Though the
Bear made a strenuous attempt to
buck a passage through it got no
closer than within $50 miles of the
FONT.
Will Establish Mission
The Home Mission Board has also
made arrangements for the re-es-
tablishment of mission work at Cape
Prince of Wales, with DR.. ii. ii
Greist and wife of Monticello, in
charge The Congregational church
formerly maintained mission at
this point but abandoned work there
six or seven years ago. 1t was at
Cape Prince of Wales that w. T
Lopp, now head of the United States
Bureau of Education for Alaska, be-
gan his work among the Natives in
| Alaska DR.. Greist and Mrs Greist
will accompany DR.. Condit from Sc
| attic.
! DR. Condit and Mrs. Condit after
| leaving Juneau last March spent
several weeks visiting friends in Cal
ifornia. They then proceeded tC
Philadelphia where DR.. Condit at
tended the annual meeting of thu
General Assembly of the Presbyter
ian Church in May. He later at
tended a conference of the Presby
terrain Home Missions Board in New
York. The return trip to the Coas
was made via Montreal and the Can
adian Pacific Railway.
