the present. Mr.. Gerry was one
of the first men pointed out to

but he was faithful at his place
of business, has reared a family
of very fine children, has and is
giving them all the educational
advantages money will supply,
and quits business here with the
good will and confidence of the
entire island. Here's hoping his
remaining years may be many on
this earth, and that all of them
may be spent in our midst. His
successors are old island men. Of
excellent business ability, atfable
and obliging, among our most re-
spected citizens, we predict for
the new firm of Weiss and Thor
sen profitable, satisfactory, and
growing business. Thus it ever
is, like ships that pass in the night,
hail and farewell.

ALL FOR PALATKA.

Yesterdays primary for the selec-
ton of members of the aldermanic
board for two years to fill vacancies
caused by expiration Of terms of Of
fee, and for selection of delegates to
convention to nominate Demo-
cratic candidate for mayor, indicates
that citizens generally are taking
more interest in city affairs and that
after the friendly contests for office
are over all will stand united for the
upbuilding of Palatka.
Of the three gentlemen whose
names will probably be considered at
the convention for mayor either will
be satisfactory to the electorate. Mr..
Merriam has served as mayor for
five years, and during that time many
improvements have been made, and
DR.. Steen has served in the city
council and as chairman of the board
of county commissioners with credit
and satisfaction. H. M. Fearnside
has also served the city in various
capacities, and is one of the most
progressive of the younger business
men.
The unusual interest manifested
in the primary indicates the psycho@-
ogy of civic interest and enthusiasm
that is at work for Palatka's good
We feel very sure that whoever is
elected mayor the citizens of the
community will stand behind him
and give more concerted effort to ad-
vancing the city's interests than ever
before. This has been manifest dur
ing the last year, during which time
many enterprises have been under
taken which depended for their sue
cess upon the concerted effort of the
community.
The public demand for a commits
sion form of government is becoming
insistent, mad whoever is elected may
or will find it an obligation he can
pot very well avoid to join with the
council in putting this form into eff
feet. The preliminary steps will
have to be made during the next ses-
sion of the legislature, which meets
the first Monday in April.

In the four days he has been in Of
flee Harding has, however, made very
rapid progress toward definition of
policy. Following are some of the
things he has taken up and the pro-
Nh fess he has made on them:
HUM Panama-Costa Rica
JI ne hostilities between Panama and
Hill RIGA involving a danger to
M IAN interests drew from Hard
I6 harp note ordering the fight
la ~ bed.
] Taxation and Tariff
Congressional committees have
been started to work along with sec
rotary of the treasury Mellon. A set
of recommendation for Harding's
consideration will be ready in few
days.
Railroads
Before making any decision on the
railroad problems involving claims of
the roads that they are making no
profit and the possibility of higher
freight rates, Harding has determin-
ed to await the result of congress
sional investigation. This investiga-
ton will be ordered under resolu-
ton prepared by Senator Cummins
chairman of the senate interstate
commerce commission.
Mexico
Two sets of advice have been plac.
ed before Harding on Mexico. He is
considering both. One calls for i'm.
mediate recognition of the Obregor
government without condition. An
other would exact promises of protec,
ton of American rights as condi-
ton of recognition.
Separate Peace
The promise to have the Knox reso.
luton ending the war with Germany
passed soon after Harding took office
has met an obstacle in shape of the
difference between the allies and Ger,
many on Preparations. Harding fears
passage of the measure now woulc
be regarded as Reputation of our late
associates in the war.
Merchant Marine.
Harding wants an adequate mer,
chant marine and will do everything
possible to encourage one. The de.
tails of the program, however, await
appointment of the new shipping
board, which Harding has not con.
sidered in any definite way.
Naval
Harding has declared for an ade,
quate navy. 1t is believed therefore
he will approve the further construc,
ton of battleships as we'll as air.
planes. He is getting data on which
to base recommendation to congress
can get to work on the naval appro
priation bill which failed last session
Disarmament
Disarmament is the one big ques.
ton which Harding has been loath tc
discuss in any definite way. Con.
gressmen who have said they believ-
ed he would call disarmament con-
ference soon after his Inauguration
today declared they saw no reason as
yet to change previous utterances.
Budget System and Economy
Harding favors the budget system
for government expenditures and will
call for its immediate adoption in his
first message to congress. At the
same time he will declare against
opening new fields for government
expenditures.
Philippines
Harding does not favor Philippine
independence, according to best indi-
cations. He has asked Major General
Leonard Wood to make study of
Philippine conditions and one of
Woods purposes will be to quiet the
agitation for independence in the
islands
