= SWAT TIE UTILITIES BILL

The closer the pending utilities bill is scanned
the more reasons appear why it should be killed
in The legislature and killed SO dead that, like
Lucifer, it will never rise again
inc was when bill to regulate utilities could
be presented under the livery of reform and
pushed by progressive" with tears in their eyes
tor the dear "peepul' when they were pretending
TO serve. But that time is past. Everybody knows
that there is no popular demand for utilities COM
mission in Florida. Experience has shown that
regulation invariably results in the corporations get
ting control of the regulative machinery and run
ming it in their own interest
he utilities bill is sponsored by the friends of
the utilities. Its effect would be TO take every
public service corporation in the state out of the
control OF the Legislature. or if local concern,
out of the control of the municipality, and place it
under the autocratic authority Of three men. No
wrong could be redres,ed no evil corrected, no
change of any sort made by the people except
through an appeal to these men. And if the
utilities controlled the commissions it is a hun
dred to one they would-it would be exactly
equivalent to turning the whole state over to them
to deal with, or plumber. as they say fit
Let the law stand as it is Let public service
corporations remain amenable to the public will.

Hats off to Sheriff John Logan of Polk county,
Florida for whom mob violelcc hoid5 no terrQrs.
The southern ofiiceholder has hit upon happy
solution to the problem of calming the angry
moods of those who would be lynchers, What an
officer under oath to uphold the law shall do
when confronted by a force of men bent upon
taking the law utp their own hands has been a
matter Of much discussion in recent days in
Kentucky. Shall he fight them until '"beaten
into insensibility or is killed." Not so, the
Florida sheriff decides on the spur of the moment,
and as the proof of the pudding is in the eating,
he gives tangible evidence that the theory he has
worked out is a good one.
1t is simple matter. The Florida sheriff just
grns at the mob and calls the members by name.
Then he swears each member of the mob into Of
fee deputy sheriff and says to Them
81 know every man among you. | swear each
and every one of you in as deputy sheriff. 1t
is your duty now to escort the prisoner to Jail
at Barlow"
And there is no killing or beating into insen-
sibility either with the officer of the law Will
mer Collins, negro accused of a serious crime.
as victim. The prisoner is escorted to Jail in
car which members of the mob had driven up in
and the sheriff found faster than his own.
This prisoner now awaits trial under the regu-
lar process of the law.
1t might be said in comment that the act of
swearing into office as deputies the men who
made up the armed mob was mere matter of
form. AS citizens, it was much their duty to
uphold the law it was the obligation of the
public servant to whom the majesty of the law
is directly entrusted. But the Florida sherif's
course impressed his fellow citizens, who had
gathered to do violence, more strongly of their
duty, and he is to be commended upon his quick
wit and success.
CONFRONTED with the definite selection between
right and wrong, few men will choose to trample
under foot the very rules of government under
which their own rights protected.

THE WARNING ELEMENTS
Guelph Cam Mercury.


Like an uncanny visitor was the temperance
Of wintry weather yesterday. Spring had been
formally ushered in by an early Easter. The
trees were in full bud, some the leaves were
breaking through; not far away of the
trees were in blossom, while everywhere the birds
gave sign that winter had gone and spring had
been regularly introduced 1t surprise
therefore, to sec the mantle of white that draped
cid mother earth awakening yesterday morn
ing, in spite of the warning of Saturday that the
elements were playing tricks when il glazed

But such is nature 1t is bound by no law 1t
s a law to itself, acting sometimes without
rhyme reason in its eccentrcites Beginning
on the Texas border the storm travelled rapidly
over thousands of miles, scattering terror ana
death in its path, uprooting trees and unrpofing
buildings, taking heavy toll of life with reck-
less abandon that creates a wonder of how and
why such things should be. Scientists explain
it as freak of the elements, clash when high
and low pressure meet and create a ructon that
can only be pacitied by spending itself in an orgy
Of destruction. 1t looks as if we knew no more

ture. MIR. Worhington shows familiarity with
what has been done and left undone during the
last three or four years, and sheds some fresh
light on subject not yet thoroughly understood
by all the people of Florida First of all. it may
be taken for granted that to abolish the state road
department would be an act of folly. 1t may or
may not be trpc that this department in the past
has not functoned efficiently, but if there are any
shortcomings, and most people think there have
been, they are due to political interference pure
and simple. This has resulted in the efforts of
the department being scattered from Pensacola
to Cape Sable. with no definite. co-ordinated plans
and no real accomplishment. Be it remembered
that federal aid is forthcoming only on finished
projects. Be it also remembered that there are
very few finished projects So that there is even
now to the credit of Florida very large amount
of money that will be Immediately available when
the state completes some definite road building
program such as main trunk lines
Another evil has been county influence or rec
ognition of county lines. Mr. Worthington points
out that there must be no county lines in road
building but that the larger view must be adopted,
that of the state as a whole. This same county
influence finds expression in the present law which
requires that IS per cent of the receipts for state
automobile licenses must be returned to the coun-
ties from which the license fees were received.
This of course left only IS per cent for the use
of the state road department. Last year the states
share of the automobile licenses was about
100000 whereas had il been possible to utilize
all the funds received. Florida would have beng
fitted to the extent of between 100000 and
100000 and then VIC should have had some
thing to show for the money
We do not know Just what conclusions will be
reached by Mr.. Worthmgton in his ably written
articles, but will venture tho prcdictjpu that they
will be IN the nature oil suggestion thai there
must comc an increase in the auto lax and that
all The money SO received shall be used TO com

part.

FLORIDA LEADS

While the grain and hay growing states of
the north will always continue to lead in those
products, there are indications in the report of the
last census, an abstract of which has just been
made public, that Florida will soon take the
disputed lead in truck and vegetable production.
This state already has decided lead over all
competitors in many of those things.
Comparison with other states is valuable only
when all the conditions are taken into account.
Only about ten per cent of Forida's lands are
cultivated. The product has to be shipped long
distances to market Growing its chief truck crops
through the winter months, it is subject TO the dan
ger of occasional destructive frosts. In spite of
all this, however, the census shows total of more
than-seveneen million dollars for vegetables
New Jersey, which has long been regarded as
the backyard garden of New York and Phla-
dephia and is distinguished above most northern
states by the length of its growing season and the
fertility of its soil may be taken as typical of the
best the north can ever do. As compared with
Florida the following interesting results are shown:
Sweet Potatoes-Florida. 3,445,22l bus;
New Jersey, 1854, 3Ol bu.
CeIery-Flonda, $2,321,324; New Jersey,

Beans (Green) Florida $l,123,S4O; New
Jersey $647. 345

sey. 1911 .426.
These comparisons relate only to the things
which common to the two states. A few articles,
like spinach, grown in small quantities here, could
be increased indefinitely as the reported acreage is
small enough to show profit in the output. When
it is recalled that Florida produces under the han
dicap of long freight haus while New Jersey has
the best market in the world at her doors, the
showing made by Florida is truly remarkable, in
dcating what be accomplished in this wonder
fu state when the same energy and capital that
are employed in New Jersey are put into opera

SWIMMING POOL
BRINGS GLEE TO
MANY HUNDREDS
Saturday Afternoon Opening Al
most Duplicated With
Crowds on Sunday
OLDER PEOPLE ALSO SWIM

The remarkable opening crowd at
the new swimming pool Saturday af-
ternoon was virtually duplicated Sun
day afternoon and evening.
Hundreds of children and many
adults already have enjoyed the swim
ming pool. Attendants find it impOs-
sible to check up the exact number
that was in 1e pool Saturday after
noon and Sunday. Receipts for bath
ing suits rented to persons over 16
years of age was approximately $40,
it was said.
The water in the pool was kept in
good condition by keeping water runn-
ing into the pool from small pipe,
draining out over the overflow basin
on the. side. The attendants believe
that the pool will grow in popularity
with older people and to encourage
this it has been decided not to admit
children after o'clock in the evening
and to require them to be out of the
pool by $3.50. The night air is little
chilly for children but many are so
enthusiastic over the pool that they
hesitate to leave 1t.
George Holta, who was in charge of
the baths and suits and Higgins, who
acted as life saver, had little trouble
with the children. Excellent order was
maintained most of the time, but one
little boy who found lots of fun re-
peatedly ducking little girl was put
out Of the pool ,.-. ....'-...
One of the most attractive features
to the. kiddies was the shooting chutes
brought from the school Fairgrounds
and placed at the pool. A diving
board also attracted older boys.
