THE TOURIST CROP

Despite widespread predictions that there would
be distinct falling off in the tourist crop" the
fact is appearing that there are more people from
the north in Florida today than in any previous
year so early in the season. Tampa had regis
tered more tourists Oct 20 this year than for the
whole month of October last year. St. Petersburg
is experiencing regular "windfall." The roads
are full of automobiles, bearing license tags from
other states and most of them also carrying camp
ing outfits. Judging by the signs now visible the
crop" will be record breaker.
And this is not really surprising Though times
in the north are hard they do not affect all persons
alike There is enough surplus to tide all but the
least fortunate over any reasonable period of de-
preston The rich are still rich and the we'll to
do are not suffering. Even those of moderate
means can argue that they might as we'll drop
down here in their Aivvers and save coal bills.
1t is pretty good time to cultivate the visitors
Many of them, disguised with labor conditions and
the high prices of necessaries, would incline fav-
orabe ear to proposition to settle in Florida and
live easy the rest of their lives. Farm lands are
said to be selling actively in Hillsborough and
Pnellas counties. as well as in Polk, 1t would be
a splendid time to interest colonists '
In the meantime, the influx of tourists is not
having too lively an effect upon business as might
have been anticipated. because SO many of them
are bringing their business with them.

ROAD BUILDING AS A REMEDY.
Jacksonville Times-Union.)

A dispatch from Washington says: 1.-THE fed
era highway bill agreed on in conference, car
ries an appropriation which will make possible
the employment of from 100000 to $780, 900 for
six months according to the announcement today
by the department of agriculture. 1t is a fortu-
nate condition that the states with the largest
alotments and which proceed at once with
road construction are the states where unem-
pOyment conditions probably are worse"
The country needs more roads and better roads
and we are glad that they are to be provided
But as means of relieving unemployment road
building will not prove shining success.
Will the unemployed bookkeepers and clerks of
the city, their unemployed carpenters, masons,
painters, other skilled mechanics go to work
on the roads? Not to any appreciable extent A
few of the carpenters and masons may help to
build the bTidges--to some extent that will fur
nish a slight relief to men engaged in these occu-
pations-but it will be slight to be not no.
ticeable Ninety per cent of the men who will go
to work on roads unsked workers
And nearly all of these will come from the
country through which the roads will be built
OF course there is now a vast amount of I'M
employed labor in the rural districts but those
who unemployed are not suffering or COM
planning. The crops are gathered and they ex-
pect to be unemployed at this time of the year.
small amount of work is needed on the farms
making repairs and building fences but at this
time of the year farm hands have little to do
Road work will not supply them with food and
clothing, the work they did during the planting
cutivatng and harvesting season has already at
tended to that But to the more Industrious ones
it will offer an opportunity of making little
extra money so they will be better off when their
regular work begins again.
The trouble about unemployment is that the
work desired is specifc-not general. Men are
nearly all more or less specialists. They are ft;e"
for doing one thing, but accomplish very lit
tie. out of their ordinary lines of endeavor. There
is plenty Of work but not plenty of each kind in
all communities for all who desire to do that
kind of work

CAUSE. EOR THANKFULNEss

1t is too early to make an accurate estimate of
the damage done by the tropical storm of Tues
day to Polk county citrus crop but those who
are experienced in such things agree that the total
will not be excess of twenty per cent while still
mere conservative estimates place the figure at ten
per cent In any event the damage is not so ex-
ensive as was at first feared. The only pity is
that most of the drops cannot be sent to those who
would be glad to use the fruit. The suggestion
has been made that pubEc-spirited grocers in ev-
cry community agree to sell the fruit to the retail
trade at say one cent each, rather than have it
rot on the ground. Here is an object lesson in
waste. The Collins canning factory possibly can
take care of limited amount of the new crop of
drops but that is only small item compared to
the enormous total of fruit now ready for use if
only people could secure it in time. Possibly
someone else has a suggestion that will solve the
problem.
Of course there have been some property losses
locally but even so, there is much room for thank
fulness that the storm damage was not more Sc
vere Lakeland escaped with comparatively
slight losses and within few days the storm will
have been forgotten.

THE TRUE REMEDY

For labor disputes such as that now threatened
there can be but one genuine remedy. That is
a court with complete jurisdiction over both dis
putants.
1t is admitted that it is unfair for the unions to
strike, because they are serving the public we'll
as the railroad corporations and the innocent third
party would be the chief victim. Similarly, the
roads public servants, owing duty to the peo
pie at large as well as to their employees. The
principle is just the same as that which forbids two
gunner fighting duel on a crowded street.
But the law provides an adequate settlement
for all disputes between individuals while ii does
not, at this time. provide any remedy for wage
disputes at least none deserving to be called such.
Applying the same rules to labor dsputesFas TO
private quarrels would require court with full
authority to Investigate and pass upon all the facts
necessary to a complete solution of the trouble 1t
would not be a one-sided affair like the labor
court of Kansas. 1t should have the power to
FIX rates as well as wages and, in the interest of
public economy. enjoin efficient management
Such court would encourage rather than
crush unionism. but the unions would rely upon
law and fact and the judgment of the court rather
than the primitive weapons of warfare resortcd to
in the strike 1t would protect capital at the same
time forcing those who use capital in public serv-
ice to use it fairly and in accordance with sound
principle.
This is the only logical way to treat the pres
ent situation. The United States will never
sent to the domination of unions though it is per-
fecy willing for them to exist and further the in
terests of their members by all legitimate means.
Neither will it continue to tolerate the autocratic
conduct of public service corporations. 1t is COM
ing to regard both unions and corporations as SER
wants of the people, with public as we'll as private
duties to perform and interests to serve And this
view can become effective only by means of an
adequate tribunal backed up by laws protecting all
the rights Of all the parties Interested

Daily Poem
FAITH
(Toronto Starr

One morn | felt that l should fall
Beneath Affections scouraging rod,
But suddenly, towering over all,
Returned my trust in Coil
And then the fear that had assailed
My soul, when in the morn | rose,
Before my trusting spirit failed,
Ere daylights close.
And oft this happens: faith grows
dim;
And care steals on us unaware,
Because we do not talk with Him,
By means of pray'r.
But when, with fainting heart we
call,
The One Who sees the sparrow fall,
Us, too, shall save.
For fear is only in the mind,
And love, alone, reality,
And when great Love our hearts shall
lind, tsu''.
Then faithfully,
With fearless zest shall we pursue
The pathway that He hath decreed,
And find that all is fair and true.
Where He shall lead

PLOWSHARES OR SWORDS?

One thing the matter with the world, if we may
critcise creation that we do not pretend to under
stand, lies in the combined facts that plowshares
are readily convertible into swords and that the
world has not wisdom enough to refrain from
making the conversion "'- Fl
Mankind's primal acquisitions were weapons
and tools and then as now, the two were much
alike Finding a stone, prmeval man hurled it
at his enemys head, or tied it with thongs to
strudy stick and made the worlds first AK Today
nations acquire iron fields in the name of industry,
and then set to and make them swords from the
material they got for plowshares. Indeed. tools
already fashioned for labor-the telegraph, the
telephone. the automobile the airplane, the rail-
roads-become instruments for carnage
The thought this leads to is that what goes into
weapons might go into tools. The worlds In
struments of destruction might have been nstru-
ments Of construction Every ounce of material,
iron and wood gold and silver human flesh and
human spirit. that the world has spent in war
could have been spent in Molk.
But this is a lesson that no nation has yet had
the courage to apply. We can see it. yet when
others begin to make swords of potential plow-
