The Ocala Banner is down on the Mi
ami Herald, and thus scores that news
paper, one of the best edited in the
state, If sometimes hardly democratic
in tone:
Standing with the Miami Herald
in its exposition of the league Of
nations it's friend, Senator James
Reed, was repudiated in his home
district in Missouri. Standing with
the Miami Herald in it's exposition
of the eighteenth amendment to the
constitution of the United States
its friend, ex-senator Joe Bailey,
was repudiated in Texas. And so
were its other friends, Senator
Hardwick in Georgia, Senator Var
daman in Mississippi. Yet we are
asked to get our learning at the
feet of this Gamaliel.
o
The administration forces mopped up
in Texas.
Mr.. Post was not as well posted as he
pretended to be.
Ring around Carranza, sounds more
music than 1t probably is.
o
For unadulterated democracy, COM
mend us to the Ocala Banner.
.The simplest rule in the world for a
happy day is just: Be kind"
Mexican bull fighters must find that
sport rather tame just now, in COM
parison.
Framing up against another fellow
does not always mean that you want
his picture.
Very few of us are as courageous the
next day as we are when we think 1t
over the night before.
o
Lessen" we look out the Tampa
Tribune will be getting after us about
that lesson" in The Journal, Of We'd
nesday.
We just had enough of that blizzard
predicted for the tenth to make us
realize how nice it was that it didn't
get here.
Now that John w. Watson has re-
tired from the gubernatorial race, the
Tampa Tribune is nominating him for
the race in 1924.
Chauncey NJ. DePew is still making
after dinner speeches, though sc years
of age. Possibly, however, they have
lost some Of their old spirit.
MI.
rubber industry is stretching Akron,
Ohio, beyond all bounds. A gain Of 291
per cent since 1919 is some gain.
They are still trying to find out what
Milwaukee stands for. She stands to
lose whatever she stands for unless she
stands for something better than she
used to stand for.
Czecko- Slovakia sends citizens to Jail
for not voting, and the United States
sends them to Jail when they obstrep-
.erously demand the vote. Different ma
tions, different manners.
Talking about human nuts: The
Tampa Times still insists on spelling it
Floridan, instead of FIoridian.-Pal-
metto News. You never can tell about
this simplified spelling, it may have
been simplified in transit.

Out of a school population Of 313,145
in Florida only Gil graduated from high
school last year and only 228 of these
entered college, according to figures re-
Gently compiled. But maybe the fig
ures were as bad off as the census.

The Ocala Banner says that Florida
has two men with yearly incomes of
$250,000; two men with s150,000; and
six men with 100000. But we wish
they were all in Pensacola; we need
just about that much cash to put over
a few enterprises.
Gilbert Leach of the Leesburg Com
mercial asks what we are going to do
with a varmint like the roach that
thrives on soap and drinks writing
fluid that costs almost as much as
moonshine?" Don Marquis, of New
York Sun, ought to be able to answer
that question. Don has trained one,
and made fortune out of him, ex-
hibiting him in the column Of the Eve
ming Sun.

Many burdens I have borne
In my day,
Some with joy, some with scorn.
