THE TREATIES SIGNED

There were half dozen good reasons why it
would have been a mistake to have had long
fight over the ratification of the separate treaties.
One was that fight in the senate over that ques-
ton would have tendency to weaken the position
of the United States in the armament conference
1t was no excuse for the Democrats 10 say that the
Republicans did it first Two wrongs do not
make one right. And if a Democratic senator
can not display more genuine patriotism than a
Republican senator the difference between the
parties becomes merely matter of personal taste
Again, the protracton Of this fight would afford
an excuse for postponing the far more important
subject of tax revision The tax bill and the tariff
bill are the measures upon which the present adj
minislration will stand or fall So far Repub-
licans have appeared to be incapable of reaching
an agreement among themselves. Yet the two
questions must be solved, and under the rules of
the game the solution is up to them
If they can not solve them they will have to
quit
Hence, policy of opposition on minor cues
tions-and in spite of few ardent opponents of
the treaties, the separate peace issue became a
minor question-would serve to divert public atten-
ton from the main issue and supply a valid alibi
when the G.. o. P. is arraigned for neglect of
duty

THE RENT PROBLEM

We suggest in the interest of better under
standing of the matter, that everyone who comes
to Florida this winter find out before he comes
south what rents prevail in his home town. For
several years, Florida has been listening to a good
deal from tourists and newcomers who feel sure
that rents were never like this back home, yet we
hear from all over the country that houses are
scarce and rents high. We believe that many
who come to Florida have been living in their own
homes and do not realize that rents have been
amazingly higher all over the country in the last
few years. The Ladies Home Journal, maya
zine written from countrywide observation and
for countrywide public, makes the statement in
the October issue that for some time to come"
young couples must expect to spend from one
quarter to one-third for rent
The statement means fifty dollars month from
salaries of $50 to 5000, and smalI-family
houses can be had for that figure or less in Lake
land-providing you can find the house
And that brings us to the cause of higher rents
here and elsewhere. 1t lies in the fact that the
demand has grown faster than the supply The
prospective tenant is not really being held up, no
matter how rebelllous he may feel He is simply
being charged what someone else is willing to paw.
Even the cost of the property 10 the owner has
nothing TO do with the question at present 1t is
too bad that rents high, but is the operation
of the law of supply and demand that makes the
situation. With the demand greater than the sup
ply, the price on anything goes up, and when the

dreamer said,
Perhaps is somewhere out beyond
the sea;
Perhaps its portals call to you and

There joy, like perfume, by the breeze

There love is golden on each sunny

As Others See 1t
GIVE THE PUBLIC CAUSE FOR CONFIDENCE
(Tarpon Springs Leader.) .

When President Harding called for a confer
ence on unemployment, the Leader wondered
what possible solution could be offered which
would alleviate conditions of unemployment. 1t
looked as though false hope was being held out
to those who are in need because of lack of
work. But the Leader did not say much be-
lieying that fairness demanded silence until the
conference had been given an opportunity of
finding solution to the difficulty if possible.
But it seems that not very much Roadway has
been made. The, most pertinent word which has
come from Washington to date has been that the
unemployment problem is which each COM
munity must take care of. No remarkable plan
has been evolved for taking care of the nations
idle. The mayors of different cities have been
asked to put all idle men in their cities to work
wherever possible. This is thing. which most
cities already have done. If there is no work. it
is foolish to talk about placing in positions
If those responsible for the business of our
government would get down to business and
show the public that they are doing something
constructive, something safe and sane and sound
and that because of this conditions were to be
more certain than they have been for the past
six or seven months unemployment would soon
be thing of the past. Manufacturers and other
employers would not be afraid to go ahead. Buy
ers would not fear to buy The public at large
would be inspired with confidence and business
would get back to normal. And just soon
business gets back to normal there will be
plenty of work for all.
If the administration really wishes to bring
unemployment down to the minimum, let it set
down to business and give the country something
tangible upon which to build up its somewhat
shaken confidence, and it will be but very short
while until mills and factories will be turning
out products at the old time rate, and the public
will be buying just fast as the product can be
turned out. Such program of procedure would
do more for the idle thousands than all the con-
ferences in the world

Staying HIS OFFSPRING

In throwing cold water on the disarmament
conference, as he is doing in his letter to the pub
lie addressed to Brooklyn. NJ Y. lady, and in
his recent addresses, President Harding is simply
strangling his own offspring.
If, as he contends, wars are inevitable, and the
world can accomplish more than little saving
in expenses, like group of gun men agreeing to
use 38-caliber instead of 45-caliber revolvers, It
is not worth while to hold any conference at all.
He destroys all the argument for cutting down
land and sea forces and all hope of relying upon
other agencies than artillery in settling International
disputes.
If we are sure to have another war soon, the
time to prepare for it is now. The unemploy-
ment problem could be solved by putting the idle
to work making guns, warshps and explosive
Shells
The trouble with Mr.. Harding is that his mind
is incapable of grasping the possibility of change.
That wars have prevailed for thousands of years
is to him conclusive proof that they always will
prevail, that they are necessary adjunct to human
organization, and naturally, that they serve some
benehcent end, though 1t may require an act OF
faith to see just how they fit in with the benign
plan. His philosophy is exactly the same as that
of the Hohenzolerns and Hapsburgs, except that
he does not know how to follow it to logical end.
Add to his mind strong intellect. genius for
organization, a vision to see the world shaped
in accordance with his chief tenet, and you have
the same cause which inspired the Prussian war
passion.
The Masses however, are not looking to the
reduction of armaments, mere breathing spell,
but as step toward the destiny of peace which
is the one worthwhile promise of civilization The
world must have peace or perish.

THE WHEAT AND THE TAREs
(DeLand News.)

If the campaign that is on throughout the coun-
try in the matter of coming to the rescue of the
unemployed shall result in separating the shirl1-
ers from the genuine workers, it will be some
thing to be truly thankful for. Another thing:
If, by some means. the truly honest and efficient
laborers can be singled out and given deserved
recognition, it will be a matter OF justice if
nothing more. The "shirkers' should be left out
in the cold until they come to their senses.

The fact that anybody can come by and put
up sign along the public highway is offset by
the fact that anybody can take it down. and we
suggest to the county commissioners that they have
every undesirable and unsightly sign on the coun-
tvs highways taken down. and prohibit others
from being put up without the sanction of the COM
missioners. Highway signs should be few. far
between, artistic and such as are of real value
to the traveller.

Armour & Company, packers of meats and by
products large employers, assert in their latest bus
mess review that The element of labor remains
the dominant one in production costs and while
great deal has been said upon the subject of labor
costs within the last few months, it should not be
improper to record once more the fact that in
dustry cannot continue to pay high wages and
sell its products on the price basis which the public
seems to demand. 1t is quite evident that one of
two things has to happen in those industries which
otherwise have adjusted themselves to economic
conditions; that is. wages must come down or
prices must go up There is no desire on the part
CT industrial leaders to see any retrogession either
in business or in wage standards. but there is
distinct desire, and one born Of economic necessity,
10 see an equilibrium struck between the cost to
produce commodities and the price received for
them. 1t is an indisputable fact that the prices
received for commodities generally have been con-
sderably lower 1t is equally indisputabe that
the cost to produce those articles, so far as labor
is concerned. has not decreased commensurately.

The votes in favor of strik- ing, should such action become necessary to bring the packers to time, totaled 2s,796, while those op- posed to a strike numbered only 387.
 Additional returns received late today show that the sentiment in favor of striking is overwhelming, in case the packers insist of forcing their employees to go back to the ten-hour day. Under the new con- ditions proposed by the packers, wages are not only reduced, but the working hours are heightened so that the payment of overtime does not begin until after ten hours.
