Cary A. Hardee's Opportunity.

Cary A. Hardee has the loyalty and
confidence of more than a hundred
thousand voters, who are not watch
ing him to see whether or not he
makes good, but are taking it for
granted that he will. The people be-
lieve in Mr.. Hardee and are expecting
great things of his administration.
He has the necessary ability, courage,
energy, and Floridians know it. His
devotion to the sacred institutions of
this republic and his loyalty to prop
erly constituted authority amount al
most to fanaticy, so it is natural to
expect Cary A. Hardee to be the law
and order governor of Florida that
Calvin Coolidge has been to Massa-
chusetts, and the Lord knows Florida
has drifted dangerously away from
both the laws of God and man in the
last four years. A little enforcement
will be refreslhing little more bust
ness in government and less politics
and the playing thereof in public
affairs will be helpful to the common
wealth.-St. Augustine Record.

Does advertising pay? Always,
and sometimes it makes fortune for
the man who foots the bill. An At
lanta soft drink concern, with its
modest capitalization of $4,000. in
creased its assets by $1,370,00O in it's
last statement, and is now worth S.
572,647. 1t has $3,2S3,000 in real
estate and a S2y924,S98 surplus, all
built on advertising. An automobile
corporation reports increased sales of
over 100000 last year-due to
increased advertising. A cereal COM
pany reports a gain in gross earnings
'of s1,356,972, or 81 per cent in
crease in two years. Advertising
did it. On the other hand, a biscuit
company, which reduced its advertis-
ing appropriation for last year, shows
profits shrunk from $731,172 to
$422,371. These figures will prove
interesting both to advertisers and
non-advertisers.-St Augustine Rec

University Should be ClOseed

CONDITIONS at the GAINESVILLE
state university have reached a point
where the institution is a disgrace TO
FloFida--if the dispatches sent to
the press are to be relied upon. Last
week was banner week for idiocv
among the pupils of the university:
and disgraceful actions have been the
rule rather than exception. The
practice of hazing, which is but the
food of fools, has been resusitated-
and the faculty is unable to stop the
laWlessness which threatens to dis
rupt the institution. Florida has spent
much in an endeayor to maintain an
educational institution that would be
credit to the state-but the actions
of some Of the pupils prove that a
large element of the brute, the yahoo
the ruftian, has been permitted to
enroll there. The state board should
lose no time in closing the institution
for there is little use in spending
money to care for those of lower in
tellect than the brutes; those who
run to cave" methods, rather than
look upon decency and department
as two good attributes in life.-Kis-
simmee Valley Gazette.

Punta Gorda people who imagined
that the local merchants stocks of
holiday merchandise did not offer the
variety and quality of goods to be
found in other towns and cities, have
returned from their shopping trips
frankly admitting that local mer-
chants are showing a bigger variety
of high grade holiday gooCs and at
lower prices than the merchants of
much larger neighboring towns.
Nearly all the stores here are at
tractively decorated, and the goods
are effectively displayed, indicating
appreciation of the value of adver-
Using and rejecting progressiveness
evidently lacking in other larger
towns.

STATE PRESS EDITORIALS

thing of what the newspaper publish
ers have been up against the past
year. We thought we were going
to get cheaper paper the coming
year, but the Editor & Publisher of
December 4th says one big paper
company has jumped the price of
paper up 21a cents per pound for the
first six months in 1921. Another
big company has announced an in
crease of one cent pound, while
another will continue at the same
high price now in force, and these
three big companies control the paper
situation. unless there is enough for
eign paper imported to break the
prices, and this is very doubtful

When you go down the hill of life
into the valley, and think over your
deeds and what has happened to you,
the snubs and sneers, the blows and
curses, will make so little difference
that you can hardly remember them.
But if you can remember that your
once strong hands helped bleeding
feet through thorny places or over
burning sands, that they eased the
burden on weary shoulders, that they
held the shield over unprotected
heads, that they guided wandering
steps into the right paths-that your
hands did or tried to do even a few
of those things-then, though weary
and alone, you can go on undaunted
into the shadows with no light but
that which faith tells is somewhere
ahead.-Ocala Star.

Mendenhall, who murdered the
two Eliot women in Tampa, is en-
deavoring to get pardon before
Cats gets out of Office. The pardon
ing of Mendenhall would be "a fit
ting climax to Cats administrator.
Possibly there may yet be a few peo-
pie in Florida who has not con-
tempt for Gov. Cats and the pardon
ing of this cold-blooded murderer
would make that contempt unani-
mous.-Wauchula Advocate.

EIOrida'S Growth

The increase in population in Flor.
ida cities shows the south end of the
State to be the best-the tail is now
wagging the dog. ''"
The Tampa Tribune has pointed
out that this difference between the
two parts of the state can be due to
no other one thing so much as to the
fact that south Florida does things
and tells about it, while the rest OF
the State with the exception of Duval
county believes that "all things come
to him who waits" and if the raw
ems fed Elijah, how much more will
they feed me, o, you of little faith ?"
and all that.
Out of forty-seven Florida cities
and towns reported so far by the
census bureau, an but five have
shown an increase. The five that
failed to grow are Jasper, White
Springs, Lake City, Greenville and
Lee-all of which are in the north
ern part of the State.
The cities and towns of South
Florida have shown increases rang
ing from 440.1 per cent of Miami,
and the 248.S per cent of ST. Peters
burg down to a lesser figure, but
the increases is in them all.
If we keep on advertising and
make good our promises and welcome
the stranger to home and a good
time at a reasonable price we will
retain his trade. Advertising only
helps to get them here; what do we
do to keep them here?-West Palm

AFTER ALL

The well spring Of all that saves
society is religion
You can trace these movements
for political honesty back to the re-
ligious principles of earnest people.
You can trace these welfare and So
cial uplift causes back to the teaching
of Christianity.
1t is not denied that there are ex-
emplary citizens who do not 90 to
church But their virtue is built upon
a Christian heredity. 1t is not deni-
ed that there are some religious peo-
pie who eXemplify the reverse of Chris
tian teachings. This is merely bad
human nature, untrue or unequal to its
professions
But blot out the influence of a
thousand pulpits the devotions of ten
thousand churches; place cynicism and
unbelief in the hearts of a million
people, who now believe and pray;
strike down the spiritual in every walk
and substitute the material and the
selfish-then you will have the test of
the value Of religion. You will see
the difference Without religion, greed
will riot, might will rule and passion
will play the despot in every relation

THE GIFT OF SLEEP

Sleep, at the right time, is one of
mans foremost friends and benefa-
tors; at the wrong time it is a curse,
for it comes as the paraIizing incubus
upon his hand and his mind when he
should be broad awake and at his work
1t is solem thing to think about.
that ii We average eight hours of
every twenty-four In slumOer we are
in the land Of Nod for a third of our
whole time on earth. At this rate the
man who lives to the age of sixty has
spent twenty years in bed.
1t has made some active spirits
irate against nature and the establish
ed order that they should have to
spend so much time unconscious and
uuproductive; the idlcness has irked
them, and, burning the candle at both
ends in their defiance of physiological
laws they have generally paid for it.
The rule is that We rest, not that we
may form habits of sloth and self-in-
diligence but that we may find recre-
alton and recuperation for the day
that follows the night-the day that
tests our metal and urges to endeayor
