CLIPPED COMMENT
Calm Yourself, Jerry!

Every once in a while one Pau.
Garrett, editor of the Punta Gorda
Herald gets things dreadfully ball,
ed" up. Just listen to this: Char
lotte county people understand that
it is unlawful to shoot deer before
December first. Highlands county
papers report that, on November 20,
Sheriff Bob Hancock of that county,
took a party of friends out hunting
and that one of them, Jerry Mcleod
editor of the Sebring White Way,
killed an eight-pronged buck. Moth
ing was said about anyone being ar
rested and fined, but editors and
sheriffs ought to be permitted to do
as they think best for the good of
the country"
For the enlightenment of the es-
teemed Herald editor and others OF
our more or less critical friends, we
will repeat that the deer referred tc
was killed over in Polk county, where
according TO the hunting license We
secured in Barlow, deer and TURKEY
may be killed from Nov. 20 to Feb

possible for many years to come.
The new policy of the department
as outlined by Mr.. Green, means that
Charlotte county can now proceed
with her plans to aid in the immedl-
ate construction of State Road Num-
ber Five with the assurance that all
possible aid will be given by the de-
partment, since the department VIII
be better able to give the assistance
needed, which was not possible so
long as the haphaZard method OF
building roads was continued, and II
means that there is now every rea-
son TO believe that by this time next
year, the dream of fine hardsur-
faced road through this county, Civ
ing us an inlet and outlet both to
the north and south. will have be-
come reality.

FORCE EUROPN TO PAY

Why the public does not rise on its
haunches and burst into roar OF
laughter that would echo around the
world when suggestions are made
that Uncle Sam should cancel Eu-
ropes war debts, like the wisdom
of the Lord, passeth understanding.
Last year the easy Americans paid
Germany $96O,O0O,0 for worthless
marks. AS fast as German printing
presses could turn out the financial
junk good American dollars were
poured into Germany to bring them
to the land of the free.
In addition to this stupendous folly
American tourists spent in Germany
$75O.OOO.0O0 which foots up just
about 13 per cent of the entire war
debt. And the end is not yet,
American money is even now turn
ing the wheels of German industry
American brains are even now work
ing to help solve the German nation

SEE THEIR FINISH

The discovery that wood pulp is
no longer necessary in the manufac-
ture of paper carries a ray Of sun
shine into every home.
The prices that merchants have
been compelled to pay for wrapping
paper have reached a proportion that
has actually affected prices in some
commodities.
The paper robbery has not been
solely a newspaper problem, though
hundreds of publishers have been
driven into bankruptcy by the uncon-
scionable gouging of paper manufac-
turers.
Prices have been tilted under every
pIetext under the sun. Not more
than a month ago publishers were
warned of still further advances.
Relief, however, is in sight Flor
| ida say grass is to be used in news
print paper manufacture. A great
mill at Leesburg will soon be turning
out quantities of paper up to the
highest standard, and the Herald
expects to use some of the first lot
of paper produced at this mill early
in February The Importance Of the
discovery lies in the fact that paper
can now be made from an annual
crop. It takes fifty years to grow

ed to the people of Fort Myers ana
Lee county last Thursday night by
Hon. f. p. Green, member of the
State Road Department for this Con-
gressional District, that every energy
possible is going to be put forward TO
complete State Road No. Five, or the
Tamiami Trail, is very good and very
important news to this city and all
points along that line. Any person
who makes a careful analysis of the
conditions in the state of Florida can
see that the building of this road IS
the most important single thing that
can be done to upbuild Florida, for
il provides an auto road across Flor
ida where the people want to go
across. At least ninety per cent oil
all the people who come to Florida
in cars would like to drive down the
East Coast and across the southern
part of the peninsula and back up
the West Coast, or go down the West
Coast and back up the East Coast.
Once this road is built they will do
it every season, and every season a
very large number of these tourists
will become residents, and with that
The Punta Gorda herald., 1922-12-15

road built Fort Myers has chance
to get these people as any single city
in Florida.
Lee county will begin work within
a few days on the road from the
Caloosahatchee river to the Char
lotte county line, cutting in two the
distance between this city and Punta
Gorda, and it seems to The Fort My
ers Press as though the time was
about ripe to begin to make prepara-
tions for a big picnic celebration out
near the Lee-Charlotte county line by
the people Of Fort Myers and the peo-
pie of Punta Gorda for the starting
of this work, and proposed calling of
an election in Charlotte county for
the purpose of voting bonds with
which to build the road across that
county, are the most important
events that have ever occurred in this
section and mark the beginning of
much closer connection not only be-
tween the people of the two cities,
but the people OF the two counties.
What say you people of Fort My
ers and Punta Gorda?-Fort Myers

Anonymous Letter Writers

The newspapers are having fun
commenting upon the proposed law
sponsored by Representative Hawes
of Missouri for barring anonymous
letters from the mails.
Better than anyone else, newspa-
rers have knowledge of the anony-
mous-letter writer. And they laugh
at The idea of taking serious an atom
so worthless.
Some times the writer of the an
onymous letter is nothing worse than
an ignoramus. Some times he is a
pitiful coward, actually wanting some
evil corrected, but afraid to do more
than give a little inside informa-
ton" anonymously. Some times the
writer is a vicious craven whose
cowardice is Joined with real de-
sire to stab his victim in the back.
Whatever he is, federal law for
his suppression is as uncalled for as
would be a federal law for the sup
preston of pink note-paper. When
he is malicious, he is one of the dirt
lest. slimiest things that crawl, too
low to notice-when he is merely
scared to sign his name" he is a
mere nothing.
In the former case, he will event
ually be caught in a criminal act for
which the anOnymOuS letter is ONLY
an indicator. In the later case, his
pitiful effort to be a working citizen
calls for compassion rather than pun
tshment. If the anonymous letter
carries a postage stamp, that means
two cents for Uncle Sam. Let the
thing go through the mails and into
the waste basket OF its destination

A thorough system of drainage
would practically insure successful
crops year in and year out in the
Punta Gorda section would make
trucking safer here than perhaps
anywhere else in the state-for
while there is no such thing as the
once much heralded frost line the
warm waters of the bay make a con
siderable territory within a mile of
to be completed to Fort Myers.
This means, in fact Mr.. Green practi-
cally said. that after the grading is
finished on State Road Number Two
through DeSoto and Charlotte cOun-
ties work will cease on this road for
a time-perhaps a considerable time
since there is no money available
to pay for hardsurfacing ii and the
Federal government will not aid on
it below Kissimmee. This informa-
tion is a staggering blow to the
hopes of proponents of Number Two,
who have repeatedly stated that no
other road to Fort Myers would be
the shore practically immune from
killing frosts. Under the existing
The Punta Gorda herald., 1922-12-15

law, to secure such a system of drain
age will be very difficult matter, as
everyone who has given it thought
is well aware, and the only way to
get drainage in this section quickly
is to secure the passage of a special
act by the Legislature which will meet
the peculiar needs of this community
This. no doubt, can be done if those
who are interested will let Repre-
sentative Shelley know what they
want and petition him to have such
a law passed If any such action is
desired, it is none too soon to take
the matter up.

R. l. Harris should have the
wholehearted moral and financial
support Of local people in carrying
out his Alligator creek developm
project. Such development as he
plans would be the means of bring
ing perhaps hundreds of well-to-do
people here, and while the most of
them would probably spend only a
few weeks or months out of each
year, it is certain that some would
become permanent residents, and all
would influence friends to either
spend the winters here or to locate

derstand it, has none of the objec-

There is going to be many sad
heart at Christmas time. 1t is al
ways so. Perhaps there may be com
fort in the thought that on the day
that Jesus came to us he gathers
unto Himself the weary and the
blessed. If the life after death is
what it is pictured, what a Christ
mas gift is Death! The passing in
to the glory of the morn-the
smoothing of the furrowed brow
the end of earthly care! In mourn
full tones We hear the preacher tell
us that the moment man begins to
live that moment he begins to die,
but amid the Christmas laughter of
our children we seem to think that
the moment man begins to die that
moment he begins to live.
