And then, if you can add just little tinge of
melancholly-perhaps that would not be so diff
cult now-what fine Byronic hero he would
make-not a Don Juna, for Georges seems to be
as strictly monogamist as the good old Vicar of
Wakefield but one of those unfortunate uncut
gems of humanity like the Corsair. But his pos
sible appropriations not all dead. Conan Doyle
could utilize him as hero of the next White
Company he writes. Owen Wister could make a
companion piece to the Vrgnian of him; and, if
he could be got to sin sufficiently to interest some
farsghted female in his regeneration he might even
win laurels in the hands of our own and only
Harold Bell Wright.
In fact, in almost any domain one can think

LIVING UP TO HIS REP.

Col George Harvey has already formed
pretty definite reputation a result of his discus
sion OF International affairs at London, and he
seems determined to live up 10 it. His latest
oupouring was on the Fourth of July. when he
took left handed slap at the Irish at the~same
time paying fulscme compliment to the British
government by declaring in effect that if George
III had been as kind 10 the American colonsts
as the present British monarch is to the Irish,
there would have been no revolution.
This may be handsome way of distributing
the amenities of diplomacy, but it is open to one
OF two objections. One is that, a great many
people as well informed as MIR. Harvey, think
differently they will take issue with him, and the
worst part of is they will find history, not to
mention ex parte commission findings, to back up
their views. Another objection is that Admiral
Sims was recently reprimandcd for expressing
similar sentiments in slightly different form, and
it can hardly be considered good taste for MIR.
Harvey to take such open and above board means
of showing the world that he has better stand
in at Washington than Sims had.

SOME CARPENTER POSSIBILITIES

That Georges Carpenters aspiration to become
the heavyweight champion of the pugistic world
was not we'll founded, is evident from the result
But his possibilities in other directions were brought
out forcibly in The press notices which preceded his
Waterloo. He was designed by nature to be
great hero of fiction
He would shine in the pages of almost any of
the great romancers. Dumas, if he were alive
would be oyerjoycd to add him to his immortal
Three Guardsman" Though he is little too
ETHEREAL and Hellenic in his temperament and liys-
cal cast o shine in Scotch folk lore, Sin Walter
could have made sundry uses of him. Carpenter
would have been better man, for instance, than

least understandable; but with the conditions ap.
parently all set for giving south Florida COM
pete control over the states government, as well
as its business and economic system, including
road building, it would be- it strikes this paper
a most short sighted policy indeed to cut off
from the state at this time
If it were not that the Teegram is such dig
niled journal and would probably be shocked
at the question, the Herald would inevitably say
in the language of the street. where do you get
that stuff?
Just how things being adjusted by which
the political control now exercised by the north
ern counties are to lose that control to the south
ern part of the state? If there is a comet of that
kind in the oiing, it has not yet made its APP
pearance. Things are not all set for giving
south Florida complete, or any control over the
state government.
Possibly, the Telegram has reference to the
constitutional amendment alluded to, which is to
be submitted to the people in 1929. But if it
does refer to that amendment, it discoses that
it has not read the amendment or analysed its
effect.
Even with amendment adopted, of which there
is no assurance the relative political power of
the two sections will not be materially changed.
Only one county in the northern part of the state
will lose representation, if the amendment be-
comes law, and that county will lose Of the
two it now has. Every other county will be raised
in almost exact ratio to its present representation
and, relatively, the north and the south portions
will stand after the adoption of the amendment
about they do now.
The Herald has not a copy of the proposed
amendment at hand but its recollection is very
clear that it merely raises the number OF senators
and representatives without disturbing the rela-
tive political power of the several counties.
While Dade county, for instance, would have
three representatives, Duval county would have
four. Hillsborough county would gain one rep
resentative but Escambia county would also gain
one, and so through the list of gains

One south Florida paper is not entirely in accord
with the other papers of the southern part of the
state on the matter of state division.
Our esteemed friend, the Lakeland Telegram,
has its doubts ON the subject and frankly says
it cannot see it. The Telegram is usually very
clear on all of the subjects with which it deals,
but it must be confessed that it is not clear on
this, one of the most important problems ever
submitted to the people of the state for solution
Probably the reason is because the Telegram
nsapprchends the force and effect of the pro-
posed amendment TO the constitution with refer
cnce to reapportonment of representation in the
legislature.

SCHOOL NOTES.
s4s4s##++++44sss ;

The Wiley Boys Team came to
Holly last Friday evening very con-
fident OF an easy victory, partl be-
cause they had defeated Lamar the
previous week. They had husky
looking team and it was thought for
while they would put up
good fight. The Wiley bunch threw
the first goal but it was the last
for long time. Our boys were in
fine trim and walked all over them.
AT the close the score was 56l9 in
our favor. This is only one OF the
many league games our boys have
won this year and II they continue
their past performance the teams
farther up the valley are going to
have to watch out. Wiley promised
they would put up better fight
in the near future when Holly goes
to Wiley to play them.
The Holly girls team also played
the town girls team and after some
good fighting beat them. This game
was not as interesting as the girls
games usually are, as our girls did
not have serious opposition.
Miss Thelma Virgin of the Greeley
schools has entered our school as
Freshman. and is rapidly becoming
accustomed to our ways.
The Lamar team again comes to
Holly court this Friday evening
and will play the third league game.
Altho we beat Lamar last time it
is predicted that they win put up
stiff fight and will no dOnbt fur
nish an interesting game.
The La Junta girls team comes
here Friday night to play our girls
on the local court. This is not a
league game but will no doubt be
an interesting one. Everyoe should
come and support the local team.

other plans now pending mater
ialize, as indicated by letter re-
ceived by the chamber of COM

The letter, in part, stated that
it is contemplated sending flight
of airplanss through Utah, Wyom-
ing, Idaho, Washington, Oregon
and California for the purpose OF
photographing and mapping an
aerial route through these states.
Preparatory to an itinerary of
these states it is necessary to Sc
cure landing fields temporarily
for the planes in making the Of
ficial inspection trip. The field
desired should be at least 1900
feet long and 500 feet wide and
smooth enough to travel over
with an automobile at the rate of
40 miles per hour.
The application was turned
over to Seth French to investigate
and report.

tends to about three miles this
