TWO DEMOCRATIC PAPERS
DIP INTO FUTURE A BIT
(Jacksonvllle Metropolis. }

Jacksonville Metropolis)
The Lakeland Telegram, one of the ablest edit
ed papers in the state, disagrees with the Metrop
oils prediction that Mr.. Hughes will be the Re-
publican nominee in 1924, which is long time
off, we admit and at best what either of these
Democratic newspapers might say will be the
faintest of echoes in the ears of the nominating
machine-but what difference does this make
when a couple of editors want to polish their
ideas ON common stone? Repeating, what diff
ference does it make? little argument now and
then is relished by the best-and worst-of men.
However, Mr.. Hughes is in the eyes of the
world at the present time and is generally rec
ognized as an able statesman, therefore any dis
cussion of him is particularly timely at this stage
of the worlds relations.
The Telegram recalls the presidential
pagn of 1916 in these words:
political observers all know that there was
nothing easier than for Hughes to have been
elected in 1916. All the signs pointed his way at
the beginning But he was unmanageable, I'M
magnetic lacked the knack of striking hands
with Hoi Polloi, fatally msjudged the situation in
California, which he looked at from the stand
point of the New York politicians, and the re-
suit was defeat
1.-The Republicans want victory and the fruits
thereof What difference. does it make if their
president is not a statesman of the first water?
He can hire all the statesmen he needs.
Indeed that is point in his favor. If Hughes
occupied the White House he would be the whole
works. Everybody eIse's mind would have to run
with his"
In the Saturday Evening Post which appeared
a week ago today Samuel Blythe compared the
Hughes of 1916 with the Hughes of 1921, and this
political student is of the firm opinion the man
has been reborn in the political world He is
more inclined to listen to others, to seek their
advice and to be guided by it in arriving at his
conclusions any subject. If is to judge
by Mr.. Blythe's article Mr.. Hughes has realized
the of his ways and is acquiring more Of
the qualities necessary to a political career, and
while the Post writer leaves the reader to draw
his conclusions, the thought is present that
in his mind the Secretary of State is still en-
PERTAINING the hope of some day occupying the
White House.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH UNCLE2


Uncle Sam doesn't complain much, but it is
perfectly evident at glance that he is ailng His
circulation is badly demoralzed In other words,
the distribution system of this country has almost
petered out.
Corn today is selling at many points at price
below 20 cents a bushel. 1t being burned for
fuel because it is cheaper than coal. AT other
points, not far distant meal and grits sell at three,
four and FIVE cents pound. To convert bushel
of corn into sixty pounds Of grts and deliver it to
The consumer therefore costs, at the minimum eight
times as much as it costs to produce bushel OF
corn from the seed
Wheat costs less than dollar bushel at the
elevators. Bread sells for ten cents loaf. Cat
tie are being sacrificed at two or three cents
pound on foot, while the householder pays from 30
to so cents pound for steak.
These examples could be multiplied Pre-war
prices have returned to the producer, while the
consumer is still paying almost the same prices
acted from him when the speculative debauch was
at lis height.
The fault does not lie in the productive system
of this country. Goods are being produced at
fair rate in spite Of the army of unemployed. 1t
lies with the distribution system which is cracking
and threatening to break down completely And
unless remedy is found it will break.
An ideal distribution system would be one I'M
der. which an article produced in California could
be sold in Maine at the production cost, plus &C
tuaI cost of carriage, with only fair wholesale
and retail profit added. That would mean that
a bushel Of wheat sold in Dakota for ST 90
should sell in Florida for not over ST. 30, or that
meat. sold on foot in Chicago for 3 cents pound
should be sold in the carcass at five or six cents,
brought to Florida for 2 cents pound more,
and sold at retail at from 5 to 20 cents for the
choicest cuts
There is nothing visionary or impossible in such
a system. On the contrary, it is what the coun-
try must have if its business is to be kept alive;
and unless private business interests can devise
some means of giving the public that sort of dis
tributon service, the time is not distant when the
people. through the government, will seize the
agencies of distribution and run them in the pub
lie interest.

CHRIS CODRINCTON

Florida journalism IS going to miss Chris O
Codrington He was power for good in the
newspaper profession because Of his fairness, his
frankness, his keenness of perception and his un-
failing optimism. For thirty years past he had
strven day in and day out to make the DeLand
News a bigger and better paper, not lhat he might
personally add to his bank account but-rather that
his newspaper might more adequately represent his
community and be in a position to more thoroughly
advertise the value of DcLand to the outside
world Not so very Icing ago he brought the other
paper, The Record, that had been a co-worker in
the field under Colonel Preyau who had passed to
his reward There then seemed nothing but an
open pathway toward that goal which Chris Cod
rington always had in view, the rendering of one
hundred per cent service to his community His
brothers of the Fourth Estate will miss his CHEEKY
companionship, his sound advice, his clear reason
ing and his constructive criticism He was ever
friendly toward every movement that had for its
object the bettsring. of Conditions whether in his
home own or lis befsa;;esd Florida Had he lived
until Tuesday he would have rounded Out thirty
years in active harness as publisher and as man
ager of the News Publishing Company.
The following extracts from a tribute appearing
in the News Saturday afternoon tell something Of
the story Of his useful life:
His was a life OF achievement Coming
to DeLand with his father and mother and
family in the pioneer days of this city, his in
tegrity, grit and honesty have built up the
business of The News Publishing Company
to be one OF the best OF its kind in the state
he built and gave to DeI.and when the need
was great. theater and later met another
need of growing city by changing it over.'7
into modern apartment house
Honored in his profession, loved by his
kin, true friend, man who took a decided
stand for the good of ALL absolutely honest
and fearless broadhanded and courteous .
such were the main attributes of Colonel Cod
llngton as he was known to his many friends
The deceased was born in Jamaica West
Indies, June IA, 1870. In 1873 Col and Mrs
c. c. Codrington moved to DeLand and made
their home here. He is survived by his wife
Annie L. Codrington, and her two children

nephew, Clayton C. Codrington also of this
city"
The funeral was announced for II o'clock this
morning from the family home in DeLand. Every
editor and publisher in Florida will do honor to
his memory. His death once again brings home
The uncertainty of life for-only week ago he was
with his fellow editors in Miami al meeting of
the Associated Dailes of Florida. His passing
will be deplored his example of untiring effort in
the face of many discouragements will be an ex-
ample for the younger generation of publishers for
years to come.

AIRPLANE SURVEY OF STORM RAzED AREA TO BE MADE
8,000,000 Feet of Timber Believed Wrecked on
 Olympic Peninsula.

SEATTLE, Wash, March 21,-- AirplGneS soon will be circling over the Olympic Peninsula, vast stretch of wild timbered country in the far northwestern corner of Washington. in an effort to determine accurately the damage wrought by a tornado, which on January 29 caused what officials say was the greatest tim Der disG Gster in the history of the country.
 Eight billion feet of lumber was splintered or crashed to the ground Oy the storm, according to estimates made by state officials, government foresters and lumbermen who vis- tied the Olympic country with Gov arnor l.. F. Hart after the storm. The financial loss, they say, may be estimated at between $100.000, 900 end $150, 100000 State Land Com missioner Carl Savidge, a member of the Governors party estimated that 26 per cent of the trees on state holdings had fallen.

 Besides Cornell, there are alive today only two men who lived through the grim story of the Greeley expedition, which has been described as one of the greatest tragedies of the Arctic One of the survivors is Greeley himself, now a Major Generals who recently wrote MT.

 There were 34 men in the Gree ley party, which set out in 1881 to esta blish an international polar sta tion, according to MT. Connell The expedition was the first and last ever undertaken directly by the United States Government.

Proposals for burning over the entire area in the early spring while brush and foliage are wet thus removing the menace of dying undergrowth have been discussed.
 No lives were lost in the storm, although a number of the settlers had almost miraculous escapes. Many barns and dwellings were de- stroyed and between twenty and t:irty families rendered homeless. Horses and cattle were killed. A power plant at Forks, in the center of the storm area, was razed, and siX houses in the Indian village of La Push, near the Pacific Ocean, were blown away. Settlers have taken measure of comfort from the statement that any twp of the giant trees uprooted would moro than furnish lumber to replace every building damaged by the wind.
 Of 150 miles of rangers trail and 150 miles of telephone line, not a trace remains. The Olympic Highway. scenic route, was block cd for miles by uprooted trees. Roads and traile were obliterated by trees piled many feet high in the most open places.
