is worth noting that Mr.. Parker has
lived on the old homestead fifty-two
years, making him one of the Oldest
residents Of Polk county. In fact he
tells Of the old days when he campad
on tho shore OF Lake Wire when there
was not a single house in what is now
Lakeland. Up in the Davenport sec
ton there were many wolves and deer
while all the lakes were swarming
with alligators and game was plenti-
full everywhere. In those days nobody
ever dreamed that this section of
Florida would develop within the life
time of those early settlers and Mr.
Parker says he looks back with
amazement at the growth of Polk

Up to Date

The Meyer committee has uncov-
red up to date four things signifi-
can't of Hylanism-
1t has been shown that in the field
Il taxation and budget making the
sity authorities have abandoned the
spay as you GO plan and have been
dyerting money that should be in
he sinking fund to meet. current ex-
wnditures. The city's credit has
been weakened by unsound financing.
The Bureau of Markets. created
to protect the consumer here and to
lessen the cost of the necessaries of
life, has been turned into a machine
for peddling privileges. A frecr
local market has not been established
and the poor are defrauded of the
cheaper food distribution which was
promised them. Political measures
couldn't 60 further.
The public schools have reopened
with 126,105 pupils on part time in
struction--a number without prece-
dent. The school buildings are over
crowded many of them are unsafe,
and reports of violations of the build
ing and fire regulations have been
persistently ignored. The present
budget didn't provide enough money
70 run the schools. The Hylan ad-
nlnistration is going to run them
cn credit.
Evidence presented to the Meyer
committee shows that the city col
let's 81 1000 for the yearly rental
u twenty-four piers which it leases
and that the lessees have collected
6,6S5,0O0 in wharfage charges to
other shippers. This disgraceful
protlteering strikes at one of the
chief bases of the city's prosperity.
Again, an artificial congestion S
created by the city's policy, and the
nope of lowering living costs is sac
rlhced to favoritism to individuals.
These are the results so far. And
mere is more TO come.

South American Postage

The recent Pan-American Postal
Congress at Buenos Ayres, to facili-
tate commercial and other inter
curse among the countries of the two
Americas, limited postal rates on
letters to a maximum Of five cents
the rate which now prevails be-
tween this country and all south of
the Jsthmus save British Guiana. 1t
is assumed that this will mean in the
near future a reduction from five
cents to two cents, as it now is not
only to Cuba and Mexico, butalso to
all parts Of the British Empire.
Such ~ reduction will, of course,
bring an increase of profitable COM
merce which will far more than re-
pay US for the los in postal revenue.
Ehe congress also moved toward
adopting common postage stamp,
or set OF postage stamps, for all the
Latin countries-some-
thing that will be deplored only by
philatelists. The United States
seems unwilling to merge it's stamps
into such an international system,
but the coutries to the south are
less tenacious of differentiation
1t their stamps, in the various de-
nominations, correspond in value
with ours, substantial unity would
prevail between them and US.
We may yet hope for uniform
unit OF monetary value. A fine ex-
ample was set years ago by the
Latin Union, of Europe, in which
such uniformity prevailed. Each
country had its own design of coin
age and its own name--the franc
in France, the Ira in Italy, the
drachma in Greece, the leu in
Run1ania, the pesta in Spain-but
all were of exactly the same value.
The convenience to traders and
travellers was great. 1t would be
equally advantageous in this hemls-
phere to have all the countries
adopt--let us say-the dollar as
the standard, as has been done by
all the British possessions save New
foundland-whose dollar is worth
a fraction more than ours---and by
Colombia, Santo Domingo and
Panama--though the last named

The Fisherrnen's Race

If the Mayflower, of Boston, is not
real fishermen's windjammer, but
simply cup contender, the trustees
of the Halifax Herald" trophy are
right in rejecting her as. an entry
for this years fishing championship
Of the North Atlantic. The essence
of the contest, won last year by the
gallant Gloucester schooner Espe-
ranto, was its pure saltiness. Coming
after the cockleshell outings off
Sandy Hook, the race of the mari
ners in their weather. beaten, storm
tested craft was invigorating as a
norwester.
The Esperanto, play over, went to
work again. Last spring she ended
her course on The rocks off Sable Isl
and. Her successor should be boat
of the same type, an out-and-out
deep-sea fishing schooner, regularly
visiting the Grand Banks. The deed
OF gift of the trophy explicitly re-
quires it. The trustees expressed
themselves on this point months ago,
deprecating any tendency to make
the contest just another sporting
event, instead of a race between real
fishermen.
1t would be unfortunate if the
Mayflower, admittedly likely win
ner, should have been ruled out on
technicality, such as that her date of
sailing for the fishing grounds was
too late. But if she was built on
yachting lines for the sake of win
ming the October race, with fishing
quite incidental, she is ineligible. 1t
is nice question to decide.
What of the Canadian challenger,
the Blue Nose? She was launched in
April to bring back the Esperanto's
cup. and the same objections have
been raised to her as to the Espe-
rarto. What is fair for Halifax is
fair for Boston.
