AN ALERT AMERICA.

In his inaugural address Mr..
Harding gave voice to many noble
thoughts and sentiments. This
was to be expected, as such adj
dresses usually are framed for the
purpose Of displaying to a listen
ing world all the grand ideals and
purposes Of the incoming admins
tration. Every leader, on being
indicted into high office of any
kind, desires to prove to the pub
lie his disinterestedness and his
loyalty to the legitimate aims and
aspirations of those whom he is
to guide.
The new President, however,
made clear some truths that it is
fondly hoped will be thoroughly
realized under his regime. Among
other thought-provoling sentences
we find this one:
II wish for an America no less
alert in guarding against dangers
from within than it is watchful
against enemies from without.
Our fundamental law recognizes
no class, no group, no section.
There must be none in legislation
or administration. The supreme
inspiration is the common veal. y
The recent war of the nations
has accentuated here at home the
dangers from Within Certain
spirits Of darkness, that thrive
and prosper i'll periods of unrest,
have taken advantage Of the gen
eral disturbed condition and have
sought to array man against man
along lines Of social. racial Or re-
ligious opposition. Such conduct
is not only un-American, it is I'M
natural. 1t is precisely the mental
attitude that in the past gave rise
to- wars of social extinction and
religious persecution. Internal
disturbances in the. body polite,
as in the physical body, are more
dangerous and insidious than open
attacks; for they avail themselves
Of an immunity sought in the hid
den recesses wherein they work.
1t may be too much to expect
that these dark and destructive
forces will disappear at the behest
of an incoming executive. One
may still hope, however, that their
appearance will instantly bring
forth not only vigorous denuncia-
ton but effective = repression.
People who cannot live at peace
with neighbors Or fellow citizens
should, in all fairness to them
selves and others, betake them
selves to regions more in accord
with their peculiar views. The
Constitution under which we live
grants to all citizens a legitimate
freedom in matters Of social,
religious and political nature.
Those persons, therefore, who
oppose such freedom in others are
by that very fact at variance with
the spirit of the Constitution, and
they become rebels to it's nature
and purpose. AS rebels should
they be removed or repressed.

and labor. America fortunately
has shown sufficient Judgment so
far as to avoid the blighting
forces of bolshevistic attempts at
the overthrow of existing society.
The endeavor, however, to para
I'VE the force of the unions by
denying them the right to act as
a unit towards their employers, is
tantamount to bolshevism in its
worst form. For such tactics in
high or low places will inevitably
lead to such discomfort that only
a national upheaval will suffice to
clear the air,
When Catholic labor leaders or
workingmen unite with socialists
and then complain that their
Church stigmatizes them, they
present a sorry spectacle. They
cannot, as an old Father said,
"dance with the devil and rejoice
with Christi they cannot wave
the red flag of socialisma to get
votes and a little political power,
and then claim to be obedient
sons of that Church that con-
dennis socialism.
Well, therefore, does the Holy
Father ask his children to pray
during this month for the rights
of labor and the benefits of Trade
Unions. The Church gave the
first impulse for these organiza-
tons, and she continues to favor
them and to urge their spread so
long as they persist in upholding
the rights of the workers.

Labor unions throughout America
are responding with characteristic
generosity to the appeals for financial
assistance for the suffering masses in

assiduously spreading the Irish relief
fund appeal throughout the country
are New York State Federation of La
Dor, the New York State Allied Print

SEMI FRIEND UNIQUE GIFT
When Andrew johnson Resumed Ei8
Needle to Fashion Mark of
Personal Affection.

There's always just one more story
about any of Americas former Presi-
dents. This time there is another about
Andrew Johnson, LincOln's tempestn-
GUS successor.
Johnson, while governor of Tennes-
see, once resumed his vocational i'm
plements. He had formed a strong
friendship in the Tennessee Legislature
for w. w. Pepper of Springfield, a
stanch Wing, and once a blacksmith.
Despite their irreconcilable political
creeds the personal relations of John
son and Pepper were extremely cordial.
Pepper became a judge in 1854, and
after visit to Johnson, tAen governor,
set about fashioning a shovel, which
he sent with note explaining 1t was
intended as a momento of a friendship
proof against all political differences.
Johnson, to show his appreciation,
took up his scissors and needle and
made a handsome beaver cloth coat
which he sent to, Pepper. 1t was a
splendid piece of workmanship, prob
ably the last of that kind of work
Johnson ever did, and exists to this
day.

His Time Was Not Up Yet.

A man of mercenary spirit had son
whom he kept we'll under parental
charge, allowing him few liberties and
making him work hard.
1t was with a feeling Of considerable
satisfaction that the young man rose
on the morning of his twenty-first
birthday and began to collect his be-
longings preparatory to starting out
in the world.
The farmer, seeing his son packing
his trunk, which he rightly judged to
be evidence of the early loss of a good
farm hand, stopped at the door of the
young mans room and asked what he
was going to do.
The boy very promptly reminded his
father of the day of the month and the
year and declared his intention of
striking out into the world on his own
account.
mot much you won't!' shouted the
old man. "At least not for while
yet You weren't born until after Il
O'Clock, so you can just take off them
good clothes and give me another half
days work down in the potato patch"

A Star reporter has been looking
over the new building at the indus
trial school. 1t is about the same size
as the one finished three years ago,
but much better built and more con-
venient When it is complete and the
grounds around it cleared, it and the
other will form a rather imposing
looking group of buildings. The new
house is scheduled to be finished by
July Is. 1t is MaeKay & Company's
work and is consequently well done.
1t will probably be September l before
it is furnished and ready to be occu-
pied. The superintendent expects to
use it for the higher classes and the
older girls, newcomers going into the
first building. These things having
been made plain. we wish to call the
attention of our city council and
board of county commissioners to
their plain duty. They should build a
street and a road to the school. Ev-
erything like a good thorofare in that
direction endsaw with the brick paving
on the east end of Fort King avenue.
The rest of the avenue to the city
limits is worse than the average coun-
try road, notwithstanding there are
number of handsome residences along
there, and more building. From the
city limit to the gate of the school
grounds, there is a road that would be
one of the finest drives in the country
if it was improved. In its present con-
Hdition it is passable in dry weather,
and almost impossible in wet. At the
school grounds, this road turns to
the left and runs to the Silver
Springs boulevard, a little over a
quarter of a mile The location of the
school here causes a great deal of
traffic over this road. The school buys
large amount of its supplies in town,
and the amount of said supplies will
be doubled when the new building is
filled. State officials and other dis
tinguished people come here often to
visit the school. They must think we
are a bunch of NUTS, inhabitants of
tank town, hopelessly in a rut, not to
have a better road to state institu-
ton. We owe it to the state, to the
school and to our own people to i'm
prove this street and road, which is
now not good enough for thorofare
to the poorhouse, let alone to what
will in time be the states foremost
sociological institution. If the city
will make a good street for the few
hundred yards lacking in that direc-
ton, we believe the county will at
least finish the road to the gate. Let
our town and county solons remember
this matter when they make up their
budgets.

Il Was a Good One.

Tt was our custom in English class
ut school to choose a certain person
to read his theme aloud before the
class, writes a correspondent. On this
particular day the girl who sat across
the table from me had let me see her
paper before class started. 1t was a
good one. so when the teacher asked
whose theme we would like to hear,
L promptly suggested that the girl
across from me read hers. She arose,
but instead of reading the one l had
seen, she took another one from her

president Of the senior class, praising
him TO the skies and throwing oratori-
cal bouquets at him. 1 was the presi-
dent.

ASSOCIATED PRESS AN ASSET

Saturday afternoon, there was a
big crowd IN front of the Star Office,
to hear and read the bulletins from
the CarpentierDena fight. Frank
Harris Jr., because of his knowledge
of telegraph dispatches, which are
difficult reading was chosen clerk He
was also selected because he is tall
and wide, for the enthusiastic crowd
might have stepped on a small man.
1t didn't take very long. The dis
patches began arriving a little before
three o'clock and came about seven
minutes apart The result was known
at 1920.
So far as we could see, the crowd
was with Carpenter, but Dempsey
had some adherents.
This accommodation to the people
and to the Star was due to the Asso-
ciated Press. Owing to the tine of
the fight, and the usual hour of going
to press, it would have been impos-
sible to secure the dispatches in time
to print them in the afternoon edition.
Realizing this difficulty, the Jack
sonville Office of the A. P. made up a
special service for the Star and other
pony papers and rushed the dis
patches to them almost as fast as if
they had wire from the ring.
The Associated Press gave this
service free to the readers of its pa
pers. 1t didn't charge cent. All the
dispatches cost was the telegraph
tolls.
! 1t gives. that service with every un.
usual event that happens after press
time. When ever you see a bulletin
in the Stars window late in the after
noon or early in the morning, you may
know the Associated Press sent il
purely for public spirit and love of the
great news game.
An Associated Press paper is al
asset to any community.
