The enlargement and other i'm
provements in the local post office
which have just been completed. re-
mind this writer of some things in
connection with the conduct of the
office that may be of interest to the
patrons. Previous to these improve
ments, the postmaster and his assist
ants had been greatly handicapped by
want of sufficient room in which to
do their work This condition made
il impossible to put into effect any
system to handle the business rapidly
and correctly that would embrace
the multitude of details. Any one
knows that system is necessary to
1.-The prompt and successful conduct
of any business. To this condition is
attributable in large measure the err
rCrs in handling the mails, OF which
the public has been disposed to com
plain. 1t may be said truthfully
that errors and mistakes occur in
every line of business, no matter how
carefully and Systematically conduct
ed; but, as the postmaster, unlike
every other business man, belongs to
every person in the community and
does business with virtually every
one of them, he has mere chances to |
make mistakes.
However, the Improvements men-1

Must Bond For Roads

Good roads are not Only a luxury
but they are one of the imperative
needs of the state-made so by the
demands of modern travel.
How are We to get them?
They are not going to evolve them
selves-that is a certainty.
There may be other and better
ways to build them but we know only
enc way-that way is by bonding.
The bonds. of course must be in
telest bearing-in no other way
would they be marketable.
Ways and means of course must be
provided for the payment of the in
terest and also for the final payment
of the principal.
Whether the bond issue be author
lied at the approaching election, or
whether it be postponed two years
from now, or ten years, or twenty
years, the same provisions must be
made for the payment of the interest
and their final redemption.
There is no other way out of it and
the longer we walt the more impera-
tive the needs will become and the
greater setback the state will receive
Having advocated the issuing of
bonds for the building of good roads
for so long time and so persistently
and consistently, to now go against
the state bond issue would be going
against our traditions, and we would
have to confess that all the argu-
ments we have used heretofore in
urging bond issues were insincere
and fallaeious.
We feel that the defeat of the
will prove as big a set
back to the prosperity of the state as
would the duplication of the big
freeze OF 1895.-Ocala Banner.

DISCIPLINE WITH A KICK.
kissing of Little Girl Causes Com
ment and Criticism.

In every section of the inhabited
globe human nature is found not to
differ.
Social customs exist which however
do differ. There is in the rules of
adopted etiquette a governing power
not to be violated without disaster
or at least humiliation. These rules
are as varied as are the customs in
each section, therefore puzzling to
the uninitiated One who may be
familiar with the rules of etiquette
/ in the West or North of our country,
must back up and accept a different
/ set of rules here in the South. This
applies to the little somebodies as
well, for they initiate the older ones,
except when intent on having time
of their own peculiar to their nature,
when they do not recognize rules of
etiquette nor even discipline while at
play. Should any of the big some
bodies presume to take corrective
measures trouble is close at hand.
A singular case of this kind hap
pened right here among us, an event
which caused unexpected and una
voidable distress. Little somebodies,
always greatly esteemed, had assum-
ed the freedom not denied to them, of
romping on well kept lawn of quiet
old gentleman of 60 years plus per-
haps, when sedateness is the natural
adoption. and of kindly disposition
given to pious ways, the little some
bodies enjoying the freedom and
safety, did not hesitate, confident of
their permitted rights on the prem
isds, to commander whatever of the
fruits found on the trees, and grow
ing in familiarity with the same con-
tidence did not confine themselves to
his lawn but mischievously invaded
his home which after a time because
of increasing disturbance finally met
with resistance, in the nature of a
strong protest, which appeared to be
amusing TO them. One day the dis
turbed host became inspired with
what what he thought might be an
antidote, not suspecting there would

For some time Governor Cox sat
in thought. Then he continued:
"Who was it that said, Statesman
ship consists of getting the best pos
ible results at given time?' So
t is now with readjusted compensa-
ion, Or cash bonus, as some style it.
When the men returned from over
ieas there was unquestonably a dire
need of funds. The Federal gov
eminent granted a bonus of $50, but
hat $50 would hardly buy a suit of
,ivvies to replace the worn Old.
"In the meantime the prices of
other necessities had scared to the
sky, while with the coming Of the
lrmistice there was general shift
ng of our industrial outlook. At
hat time there was no question of
The need of the men just demobilized.
Almost anyone would admit it. Yet
he months passed and nothing was
lone by our Republican congress to
,ring the thought of adjusted COM
oensation into reality.
With the passing months the ar
gument of immediate need grew less
'orceful, for the men of the army had
re-established themselves without
heir adjusted compensation. True,
hey were put to greater difficulties
they had to struggle to overcome
he extraordinary circumstances that
mad arisen while they were in the SER
ice of their country. Finally, by an
eleventh hour squirt, the bill for SOL
Tier relief was passed by the House.
Then it was laid on the doorstep of
he Senate, while throughout the
country ran a propaganda against it.
Now, the question arises: Have the
leople of the. counatrX been turned
away from the compensation idea,
lave the former service men and wo-
men re-established themselves despite
he lack of government aid? Or, in
other words, what are the best pos
sibie results that coulfl be had at this
particular time? 1t is because Of
;hese new circumstances, keeping in
mind at all times that the Nation
loes, beyond gainsay,, owe an obliga-
ion to the men and women who serv- i
ID, that am SO profoundly interested !
n Government aid for homes.
That Governor Cox, is interested in
problems of the former service men
manifest both from his familiar
" with those problems and the pride /
With which he recalls his own "war
record" He, too, was in intimate .
association with the men of Ohio
rom the time they entered service.
md his neighbors proudly recall tina:
lie was the only Governor in the coun-
ry--who- personally escorted troops I.
