LATEST IN HUNGER STRIKES
HUNGER STRIKES
(Florida Times Union)


The very latest thing in hunger
strikes is in progress at Danville, Hi
nois, where a woman says she Will
not eat another morsel of food until
her husband processes the religion
which she believes in and joins the
church of which she is member. She
processes to have tasted already for
ty days but evidently he doesn't be-
lieve it and as the family physician
SAYS her temperature is normal and
she hasn't lost weight it looks as If
her church was not opposed to false
hood if spoken with Il good purpose
But while it is a ridiculous perfor-
nance serious thought is suggested
by il. This woman wants her hus-
band to profess to believe in the re-
Hgion she believes in and join the
church of which she is member.
But he does not believe in her church
and could not truthfully take the
pledges that would go with becoming
a member of it, If lie does not be-
lieve in the creed of the church she
belongs to he can't believe in it. Be
lief is not a matter Of volition-it is
a matter OF proof A man can no
more change his beliefs than he can
change his size. He either can't be-
lieve a thing or he can't help believ-
ing it. There is no middle ground.
OF course man who does not be-
lieve thing may be convinced by
proof. But this religious devotee Of
fers no proofs She simply says,
You must believe" and now that the
world has gotten beyond the gibbet
and the stake as arguments, now that
she cannot compel her husband by
furnishing him, she proposes to excite
his sympathies and make him yield
by furnishing herself. This could not
have the effect of convincing him. All
it could possibly accomplish would be
to cause him to pretend to believe
what he did not believe-to add lying
to such other accomplishments as he
might already possess.
The woman who would fast to COM
pei her husband to buy her a new hat
would be much better than one who
would fast to make him join her
church, for she would not make a liar
of him. She would only deplete his
pocketbook and this would not be as
bad as injuring his character.

An order like that CT the Atlantic
Coast Line reported this week, means
work at perhaps a hundred different

thousands of workers. A large pro-
portion of the cash paid for the equip
ment finds its way into the hands of
labor.
One such order, of course, could
have little effect upon the prosperity Of
so great country as this, but the re-
equipping of all the rail systems of
America would be almost sufficient Of
itself 10 insure industrial activity for
long period.
Florida is not prepared to reap the
direct advantage of railway CT equip
ment construction, but it stands to be
greatly benefited by the improved ia
cihhes of the Coast Line traffic system.

repeated, the outlook is for a sound
and prosperous year, with business on
a conservative and satisfactory basis.

HARDING HAS

(Tampa Times)

(1ampd IlmeSJ
The immense popular majority Civ

teal notification to him that he was
expected to be the president of the
whole country and not merely the
leader of party. 1t is evident from
his taking counsel with the best

nations, parties and creeds. that he
appreciates the significance of the
election, and is DESTROYS of giving it
practical effect. a multitude of men
who have always been known as Dem

did not do so because they intended
thereby to renounce their democratic
principles, but as a rebuke to their

sophistical reasoning into strange and

and those who aspire to be leaders,

be judged by results more than by
promises. That he has a mans size

BURNS ON THE CRIME
WAVE

Detective William j. Burns, head
Of the Burns Detective Agency of
New York City has focused his an
alytical faculties upon the crime
wave and discovered that it is a
chronological rather than a racial or
biological outcropping of criminality.
On that point opinion may well be
reserved until his meaning can be de-
termined.
However, in a subsequent para
graph of his statement he says;
Thousands CT men, displaced by
military service, the tenor OF their ways
disturbed, have resorted to crime as a
means of gaining their living.
That may be unhesitatingly reject
ed. To intimate that the criminals
who are terrorizing the great cities of
the north. and gradually working their
way. southwark, are the same boys
who constituted America greatest
army, is a gratuitous reflection on ev-
cry man who wore the uniform. There
may be exceptions. of course. The
drag net of consumption doubtless gath
cred its quota from the criminal class.
But the criminal classes Of the great
cities today are not ex-soldiers, nor
men who learned criminality. or got
the impulse toward a life of crime,
from the nation service.
The crimes of today are committed
by persons of exactly the same class
that has always supplied the criminals.
Their faces, haunts, habits and ante
cedents are familiar to the police of
every city. They are to be found in
the red light districts, hanging
around dives and gambling dens, cling
ing to the fringes of society and match
ing their wits against fortune in the eff
fort to- live without labor. 1t is posi-
bic though not at all certain, that the
state of public feeling engendered by
the war has emboldened and encour-
aged them to increase their criminal ac-
Invites. 1t may even have led to the
recruiting of their ranks. But the fun

must be sought in sources far older
and deeper than the late war

"A SIMPLE TAX"
(Tampa ! T5ribunel

In the Pictorial Review for Janu-

well. urging "A simple tax on gross
sales"
Mr. Cornwell starts out with three
undeniable requirements of good tax
system. They are: THAT it be fair
to all; that the burden be universally
distributed; that the collection be
simple and easy
Then Mr.. Cornwell says: "A tax on
gross sales is an ideal development of
these requiremnts.
But is it? He, himself, in following
the procedure of gathering tax, from
the producer to the retailer, shows
that no other system ever suggested

1t does not require one to be a. wiz

tenn offered to manufacturers-Mr
Cornwell was speaking before the Ma
tional Association of Cotton Manufac-
turers!

declares the speaker; and then he
traces the accumulation OF that tax to
its paying point and tells us it lis

The producer of the raw material,
the manufacturer, the jobber, the
wholesaler, the retailer, each add a
little to the cost, for tax, and then
the whole is FINALLY paid by the con-

 OF CONF FERENCE
Associated Press Night wire)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 19.- France has taken steps to reconcile her views on the naval ratio problem with those of the other powers, but her precise attitude, now the crucial issue Of the arms negotiations, re- mains in doubt.
 Unofficial advices from abroad to- day indicated Premier Briand had decided to accept the American pro posal for a French capital ship fleet of 175,000 tons in place of the 35O,0O0 ton plan drawn by the French dele gation.
 Secretary Hughes, as chairman of the arms conference, also received from the premier a communication construed at the state department as that the French group had been directed to accede to the Ameri- can proposal. But the French dele gates did not so construct long message received from the premier. They declared that it was to go as far as they could toward meeting American views without sacrifice of French national interests.
