find that their tire experiences had been
much the same.
Most of them have taken their fling
at Job lots" discontinued lines" and

all settled back on quality first as the
one sound assurance of tire value.

SEEMINGLY WASTE OF PEOPLES MONEY
(Kissimmee Gazette. }

Greatest of all vessels the Maryland has
been completed and will soon be in commission
at an aggregate cost of forty-two millions
of dollars-just at the time when universal peace
is being declared Forty-two million dollars is a
huge sum to place in one boat-a vessel that may
be destroyed by bomb dropped by an aircraft
costing less than one-eghtieth of that sum-
The sum expended would easily furnish each
of eighty thousand families with excellent
automobile of popular make, and give each of
the owners nine hundred gallons of gasoline and
fifty gallons of oil. Forty thousand homes worth
one thousand dollars each could be constructed
and turned over to many young couples who
anxious to make a start for themselves
and would donate to each couple fifty dollars to
care for them through the first month Forty-two
millions dollars would, roughly speaking, hard
surface every mile of important highway in Flor
ida-thereby Adding to the popularity of the state
and creating additional values to all property,
both urban and inter urban; yet that sum goes
into vessel carrying eight sXteen-nch guns
each of which costs about $4,000 each time it is
fred-and a of shots will put the weapon
into the scrapheap as being "worn-out."
Official reports state that the cost of upkeep-
wages of officers, privates, engineers, and com
mon laborers-wil be about two million dollars
year; sum sufficiently large to give four thou
sand families outing each year that would cost
$500 and might be worth to each of such families
$4,000 Yet all this vast amount-a so great
that few can comprehend it's being devoted to
the construction and equipment of boat
which may may not prove seaworthy; which
may or may not be used for any purpose other
than that of pomp and show.
Peace, gentle peace may spread its mantle
DER all the earth-but at forty-two million dol
lars man the movement appears to be more
expensive proposition than the building OF wood

most extravagant lines, and an action lily

is to take them over and run them by the govern

is also exceedingly difficult. At this time the most
we do is to try to get clear and just views of

THE. THREATENED STRIKE

In forming an opinion regarding the threatened
railroad strike there is one important thing 10 bear
in mind. Each side-the railroads and the work
ers-has perfectly clear case in its favor.
This is not said ironically, neither is it intended
to that each side is merely making plausi-
bic showing. 1t means that TINS IS one of those
instances, not so rare in history as many would
suppose, when the facts as applied to the oppos-
ing sides, actually justify, or seem to Justify, their
respective positions.
The laborers have a grievance Their wages
have been cut while The cost Of living has been
raised by increasing freight rates They have not
had square deal. On the side CT the roads, is
equally true that as the figures stack up before
them they cannot continue the old wage scale nor
reduce their rates without facing bankruptcy.
When a set of conditions thus appears to Justify
the conflict on both sides, that means that the real
facts upon which alone peace could rest must be
sought below the surface. There is something or
ganicay wrong with situation which virtually
forces conflict between employers and employees
The history CT the railroad system discIoses
that defect. The roads never have been run on
sound principles. They were not built on sound
principles They constitute the one industrial
factor of this country which never has stood on
its merits. Railroad building was forced
Bonuses land grants, gifts Of rights of way, public
stock subscriptions. favors from city councils leg
slatures and the national congress, aggregating
h., {, a. al.
the roads, have been the means by which lines
have been extended the railroad deties proptiat-
ed, and the who built the roads rewarded
False morally and economically this method
was bound to demoralize the whole system. Its
effects are visible in the public attitude which is
now almost the reverse of the former alteration of
the people.
For fifty years railroading was a gambling
operation, with the stakes public concessions and
the proceeds of watered stocks. If the famous
Monte Carlo were suddenly converted into shoe
shop and the spinners of the whrlng ball required
to hammer leather for living the CONSERVATION
produced by that change would be comparable to
that which altered conditions have forced upon
the roads.
Because, as rairoading now stands, its chief
source OF income is its passenger and freight rates
pay for the service rendered-which, under the
old system We're the least important of its emolu-
ments.
And, just as the Monte Carlo artist turned
shoemaker would have no other thought but to
charge as much for his shoes as he formerly re-
ceived from the doctored percentage of the rou-
lette table, SO the railroad magnate with his graft
cut off, has no other idea than to boost rates suf
hciently to make up for what he has lost
The way cut is not yet clear. Two possible |
remedies suggest themselves. One is to put the /

The citrus crop for this seems to be
safe and before many days will begin its journey

it will work its way to thousand cities and be
consumed by million people.
But a week ago the growers were facing dis
aster. There seemed to be no hope for good
crop and prospects of practically none worth
worrying with
Wherefore this change?
Simply rain. Only rain. Just mere rain.
The Hand that makes the rain to fall on the
just and the unjust, gives fruitful seasons and
abundant harvests, has been friendly and the
profit st. Lucie county will amount to millions of
dollars Wherefore there should be thankful
ness that should find outward expression and
new courage that will match the thankfulness.
1t is not mere chance that the rain falls, just
as it is not mere chance that withholds the rains.
There is a cause, which began millions of years
since, and will be operating untold centuries to
come. That Cause is fighting our battles for us.
Let us thank God and take courage.
