To Rtidue the Golden Gate.

Steps for the realization of one Of
the greatest projects ever contem-
plated In Callfornia-the Golden Gate
bridge-were taken at mass meet
ing of citizens in San Rafael early in
August.
The surveys show that the bridge
could be constructed directly over the
Golden Gate from Fort Baker to Fort
Mason. The Gate has total width at
that point of $500 feet, and soundlngs
show rock formation in the center,
which would support the central span.
A San Francisco banker has offered
to finance the project with a loan of
$4,000, 900, the estimated cost. The
only condition Is that the government
grant the hackers franchise and regu.
late the toll charges.

Marjorie's One Hundred.

Marjorie, aged 8, had not been hav-
ing very satisfactory reports from
school. Her father finally said: Mar
jOrie, for the first 100 you get I'll give
you quarter.
Time went on, and the reward could
not be claimed. One day the child was
taken violently i'll. Her mother sent

Marjorie said: Mamma, am l very

mo, dear; your temperature Is q
little over 100, but the doctor thinks
you will be better in a day or So"

tears. Now, mamma, l can have my
quarter. Papa said he would give II

Things Warming Up.

A few more spring-like days, such
as we enjoyed yesterday, and the old
political pot that has just begun to
simmer will be boiling over. They'll
be spilling liquid fire into the trench
es of the opposition and laying down
barrage in the woods.
The Republicans, or rather the
Gerow-Joe Lee wing, declare they
will hold the regular state conven-
ton in Palatka as scheduled. An
other convention may be held by the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Berry-Lewis
faction in some other section. Any
way, we Democrats can stand off
and watch the scrap. 4
In the meantime the Democrats
have a task, the task of lining the
party up behind a set of principles
that will not permit of the same dis
graceful episodes which character
lied our last state election.
The state committee meets in
Jacksonville Thursday, January 20.
We trust that the committee will be
prepared in advance to
submit course of action, plat
form and principles that will bring
many who have become disguised
with party practices in the state back
TO the fold.-Palatka News.
