Whereas, number of persistent
rumors are being circulated through
out Florida which appear to be based
upon some degree of fact, and which
rumors are to the effect:
First. That Sidney J. Cats, while
governor of the state of Florida, re-

action in granting pardons to state
Iconvicts.
Second. That Sidney J. Cats,
while governor of the state of Flor
ida, received monies to influence his
official actions in removing parties
from county or official positions.
Third. That Sidney J. Cats,
while he was governor of the state of
Florida, received money to influence

while he was governor, was guilty
of many other acts in violation of the

The question of road and street
paving, like Tennyson's brook, goes
on forever. Several months ago, the
people of Ocala voted bonds for a
system of street paving, which was
intended to be an inch and half of
asphalt or concrete mixture on the old
foundation. The bonds haven't been
sold yet; meantime a number of peo-
pie, some of whom are good judges
of the subject, have been criticisfng
the proposed method of paving. They
don't believe an inch and half of
paving will stand up under the work.
An engineer of considerable reputa-
ton, we are told, who is now in
charge of big contract in another
city, says that an inch and a half
paving will break up in sixty days.
We don't know anything about paw
ing, but we feel in our bones that an
inch and a half of anything except
forged steel is not going to stand up
under the constantly increasing traf-
fc, which includes heavy trucks. For
heavensake, let's not increase taxes
and blow in money on any more mis-
takes.

the situation. though one need not
take an extreme view. Democracy
must rest on a well-educated COM

position, as | see it, means a good

1t means the setting up of training
machinery in schools and colleges.

POOR PAY MAIN REASON

Speaking before a division of the
National Civic Federation at New
York, says the Miami Herald, DIR.
James B. Angel, the new president
of Yale, took as his theme the quality
and quantity of the public school
teachers of the United States. He
evidently has not a very high opinion
of their quality. Here is what he
said:
"Most young women have gone into
the profession of teaching as sort
of lunch station between adolescence
and matrimony. Such a point OF
view, taken by the country at large
is not calculated to produce a high
type of teacher. do not know of any

GIVING A CHANCE
TO MAYNARD GIRLS
New York Tribune)

That the incorrigible girl is not
type is the opinion of Maude E. Miner,
secretary of the New York Probation
and Protective Association. This is
a conclusion based on more than
twelve years experience in probation
work, as shown by the annual report.
Not all runaway girls are mentally
defective. Over half of them are of
normal intelligence, and some excep-
tionally bright. Unhappiness at
home, the spirit of adventure, the
hope of finding more congenial work,
or the desire to have the full use of
their earnings, are reasons why girls
leave home. Other reasons are, of
course, much more distressing. The
seeming hopelessness born of the first
offense against the moral code, the
effort to hide it and mental and phys
ical deficiencies that render the sub
ject more or less irresponsible ac-
count for about a quarter of the
cases.
| To arrest the almost inevitable
downward trend of the runaway and
incorrigible girl is the work of the
association. More than sixteen hun
dred girls were cared for last year.
But for this organization many would
have found themselves in the prisons
and reformatories. Waverly House
serves as a general clearing house,
and the girls are given a home until
their stories are Investigated and
plans made for the future. Only too
often their homes are unsuitable, and
new arrangements must be made
Hospital care is provided when nec-
essary and employment found. When
the misunderstanding at home can be
cleared up they are returned to their
families. In every case the needs of
the individual girl are the first study
Equally important is the protective
work of this dual organization-per-
haps more important, because its
Tins are preventive. The problem OF
the runaway girl is much more Sc
rious than that of the runaway boy
so many more pitfalls await her. The
adolescent boy fighting his way alone
is comparatively safe. But the ado
lescent girl, unaided, has the bares'
chance. 1t is necessary to ascertain
the irritating something that makes
home or job almost impossible ant
find recreation and friends for tn,
lonely girl. New standards and ,
wholesome, comradely attitude towart
boy friends are stimulated. For tn,
girl who cannot find, her prope
sphere in the city there is the com
munity farm of 300 acres, wher,
home-making and outdoor work ar
taught.

A dispatch from West Palm Beach
says that Sheriff r. C. Baker, chair
man of the local baseball team, has
resigned and issued orders to stop all
Sunday games there, following receipt
of letter from Governor Hardee
calling his attention to the statutes
of Florida forbiding Sunday ball
games. The governors letter was the
result of complaint made to him. A
petition asking for the repeal of the
Sunday baseball law has been circu-
lated at Palm Beach, and it is under
stood that in other cities of the state
an effort is being made to have this
legislature repeal the "blue laws" So
far as we know, Marion county is not
suffering for Sunday baseball, but we
warn Governor Hardee that If he puts
the kibosh on Sunday fishing, he is
going 10 lose some friends.

Senator Calkins has introduced a
bill charging the powers of the state
railroad commission, giving the COM
mission jurisdiction over all public
utilities in the state, whether publicly
or privately owned. The Tampa
Times kicks on this, and we agree
with it. What business would the
state have interfering with our light
and water plant? Senator Calkins'
bill, if it becomes law, will increase
the number of officials and the guam
tity of graft and incompetence.

experience. The railroads, he charges,
nave always considered the financial
side to the neglect of the transporta-
tional and that in their present on
slaught upon the government they
are following the old system Not
money, but public service, Ford con-
tends, is the solution, but he will be
unable to convince any number of law
makers that this is fact.
Congress has taken the viewpoint
that the railroads should be operated
so as to yield to the stockholders
safe and sure return on investment.
1t has failed, however, to so safe
guard the public interest as to make
the earning of this return contingent
upon wise and efficient management.
Practically the only mandatory pro-
vision ir that wonderfully conceived
law is that which compels the Inter
regulate rates that dividends may be
earned. And the Interstate Com
merce Commission has literally Ac-
cepted it's responsibility. 1t has re-
fused permission to one railroad to
reduce it's rates, because that, it holds,
would react to the disadvantage of
the other roads. 1t is, in other words,
protecting the financial interest of the
carriers while completely overlooking
the interest of the public. How much
longer the people are going to tolerate
this impossible situation depends upon
the amount of patience the people
have in reserve. They have been
standing for a great deal from this
quarter, and they may as we'll pre-
pare themselves for a few more
shocks. The administration is def
nitely committed to the Wall Street
program, Congress is prepared to go
along the full distance, and the public
may be damned for all anybody in
authority, save few loyal defenders,
will do for them.
The prediction has been made that
the administration will be compelled
to swallow it's "Less government in
business" nonsense and get down to
cases on this important question. Per-
haps it will give few more hundreds
of millions, and perhaps it will do
what must eventually be done, in any
event-take the railroads, send the
incompetent managers far to the
rear, put some loyal, competent men
on the job and, as rapidly as possible,
retrieve the errors and crimes of the
existing management and make the
railroads serviceable agency of the
national welfare.

BETTER THAN VICTORY

Germany being compelled to dis
arm, thereby gains another immense
advantage over all other nations: 1t
doesn't have to keep hundreds of
thousands of men in a non-productive
army and navy. 1t doesn't have to
support other thousands while they
make big guns, explosives and enor-
nous battleships Germany can de-
vote itself to increasing industrial eff
ficiency, increasing production, using
its best brains for advancement in
craftsmanship, invention, science,
trade. Relieved of the armament bur-
den, which consumes SO per cent of
our national revenue, Germany is
freer than any Of it's recent enemies.
In losing the war Germany has won
the greater victory-freedom from
militarism.

WHAT! SHAW COME TO AMERICA
NO THANKS, HE SAYS


Milwaukee-The United States is
too dangerous and too silly country
for G. Bernard Shaw, leading British
dramatist and outspoken radical, to
visit.
In reply to an invitation from the
Milwaukee Leader, which has asked
him and other European radicals 20
visit America to campaign for am
nesty, Shaw writes:
"What! Come to America! No,
thank you. If they put E. V. Debs
in prison for 10 years for an extra
ordinarily mild remark, what would
they do to me, who never open my
mouth in public without saying things
that would shock E. V. Debs to the
bottom cf his too tender heart? Eec-
trocute me, perhaps.
"No; l know when l am safe; and

per what | made the Kaiser say in

"This bill was not prepared by any
Senator. 1t is not the expression of
a popular demand. 1t is not the ex-
preston of the will of the Senate.
1t was brought here by parties out
side"
Thus spoke Senator Stanley, of
Kentucky, when the Senate Committee
on Interstate and Foreign Commerce
was railroading through a bill that
places half billion dollars of the
public funds at the disposal of the
railroad managers and, perhaps, opens
up way whereby they can come back
again and again for additional mil
lions, until the total subsidy will be
so large that the imagination is stag
gered by the mere contemplation of it.
1t developed during the discussion
of the subsidy bill that its loosely
drawn provisions will make it pos
sible for the railroads to secure more
than the original $500,000,000. 1t was
stated by opponents that the War
Finance Committee, behind which this
raid is masked, can, if it sees fit, ac-
cord relief up to the full limit of its
resources, which are in the neighbor-
hood of 100000.
Senator Reed stated the case clear
iy when he said that the government
was to give the railroads ten years
time on what they owe it and, there
being mutual indebtedness, instead
of setting off one debt against the
other and paying the balance, the gov
ernment pays it's side OF the account
and gives the railways time on their
side of the account.
Foolishly, Of course, some sincere
lawmakers believe that by giving the
railroads money they are solving the
railroad problem, which continues to
be the most vexious question before
the government. There are more
astute Senators and Representatives
who hold no such illusion. They know
that money is not the salve that will
heal the transportation sore. They
have voted billions of dollars mad still
the malady exists. After each new
raid upon the treasury the railroads
suffer relapses that carry them nearer
final dissolution.
Henry Ford recently stated that
giving the railroads a billion dollars
would simply be to make the situation
billion dollars worse. The manu-
facturer speaks out of an abundant
