ECHOES FROM THE SOUTHLAND.
753 First Street, S. w., Miami, Fla.
Jan. 10, 1921.
Dear Opinionites:

Jan. 10, 1921.
Dear Opinionites:
We are a city of many activities
as this week has seen several con-
ventions including the State Con-
ference of the d. A. R. in session
and besides all that, we are APP
preaching our election of board to
decide on new charter for Miami.
There is a fair sized political battle
on between those who want practi-
cally the old charter and those who
want. to try what is known as the
Dayton Plan or commission-manager
city government. About another week
will decide the matter and senti-
ment seems to be somewhat evenly
divided. Without having studied too
much into its details, we are rather
inclined to favor the commission
form for this town but we shall see
what we shall see when the voters
get down to business.
The feminine part of the family
has been attending very strictly to
the ID. A. X. Conference since the
meetings opened yesterday morning
In a way it is more than a state
gathering because Miami can always
furnish notables to grace any occa-
sion and make il more or less of a
national affair. Then too, Mrs George
Maynard Miner, President General
and Mrs Livingston L Hunter, Treas
urer with Mrs Buell., Connecticut
state regent are guests of the Con-
ference As Mrs Hunter is the sister
Of one of our nearest neighbors and
a personal friend, the conference has
thereby gained a personal interest.
Mrs Miner gave a really big thing
in her opening address on Home and
Country as the energizing force Of
the Daughters organization. The
stressing Of Americanism as the
cure for all the frenzied isms Of the
day was a sane, logical argument for
first principles Of maintaining law
and order without which ordered
society cannot exist. She also ex-
pressed the hope that women would
enter generally into their new duties
as voters but she hoped they would
be content TO be privates in the
ranks until such a time as they
shall have become familiar with the
workings Of government and can give
constructive service when in Office
She felt that to be a force for good.
women must first be a trained force
and that they should not expect the
mere fact Of Acknowledgement would
accomplish this transition from "the
power behind the throne" to the
throne itself. The Banquet last even

A western farmer thinks there
is some discrepancy somewhere
when he took carload of lambs
to market and netted thirty
three cents a head on them and
then lunched at a restaurant and
paid sixty-five cents for two
lamb chopsl And the restaurant
man will tell you that he can't
sell them to you for any less,
for meat is one of the highest
parts of his menu. He is pay
ing a whole lot more than pro
rata price the farmer got for his
overweight product.
Congress has cut the army
down to 175,000 as peace foot
ing. 1t seems as though this is
large enough unless we are to
abandon our old ideas of small
standing army as nucleus for a
war army in case of need. Per-
haps Congress feels that the
desks of Washington are getting
too much married up with spurs
and so is cutting off the supply
of desk officers.
We had sort of forgotten that
Chauncey M Depew was still liv-
ing until we saw the item of his
reelection as president of the
st. Augustine Historical Society
and Institute Of Science. Thus
passes our famed after dinner
speaker into history!
One quick result of the new
plans for Inauguration is seen in
the fifty per cent reduction on
evening gowns in Washington.
Looks like little wind had been
taken out of the sails of the
profteers.
Affairs must be improving in
Ireland as the present Lord
Mayor of Cork prefers a trip to
the United States in the place OF
a hunger strike. We commend
his Judgment. He will probably
live longer because of this de-
ciSion.

Inauguration, this year, is to
be simple and dignifed. Presi-
dent-elect Harding is not in
favor of any fuss and feathers
at this time when national
economy and thrift are needed.
He will take just as solemn an
oath as if parades, balls and
receptions including all the dec
orations were added to it.
