STILL HUNTING FOR EASIER JOBS
(Kissimmee Valley Gazette.)

Within two weeks a resident of this city over.
took young on the road some three miles
to the southwark and offered to pick him up
and bring him as far as Kissimmee. The offer
was gladly taken. The young fellow evidently
under twenty-five had neither grip nor pack was
illy-cothed, and sadly needed dry-ceaning and
pressing. He stated that his home was in Mas
sachusetts where he employed in a shoe
factory. but because of some labor conditions"
he had quit and made the trip to Florida He was
then walking back
Such is the fate of many who come to Florida
to find an easy snap. All this young fellow knew
TO an eXactness was the making of shoes-yet he
gave up a job because of slight lessening of
pay and made a trip to location thousands of
miles from shoe plant because of a mistaken
idea that everything would fall to him and he
would have an easy time. The man recognized
his mstake-yet he will leave the state with a
bitterness in his heart regarding the residents
here. No doubt he will always condemn Florida
merely because he failed to tumble into some
lucrative position.
He was old enough to have understood that
good positions in Florda-as well as in all other
states-come only to those who have demon
strated their ability to fill such situations He
was old enough also, to have saved some of the
high wages he had been receiving during the
"eet-rich-quick" years to tide him through the
era of reconstruction and into the years of nor.
NAL conditions. And, again, he was old enough
to have learned that half a loaf is better than
no bread'-that a man can so arrange his affairs
to ensmall his outgo when his income is les.
sened.
There are men in Florida today who have
made wages in the past few years of from fifty to
eighty dollars week. Today they are willing to
accept in this state a situation which will pay
their board and leave them a little for extras.
They are Of many trades-and no doubt are good
workmen; but, led adrift by the phantom of a
maximum of pay for minimum OF labor they
thrust behind them the probabilities of luxuries
and followed on after the possibilities of neces.
sites.
And that is what is making hardships in all
walks Of life at the present moment

ISSUE WILL BE RAISED

A sharp issue as to the foreign policy of the
United States IS likely to be raised on the CUES
ton of accepting the invitation to send American
delegates to the Genoa economic conference.
France has positively declared that her parti-
cipahon il that meeting is contingent upon the
avoidance cf all reference to the German repara-
lions question. That must stand. she contends,
just as it is set down in the Versailles treaty, and
all efcrts to find a solution for Europe's economic
situation must accept that factor as fixed and I'M
alterabe
Senator Borah in a recent speech in the senate
declares that until the Versailles treaty is revised
all efforts to settle Europes troubles, or even
safeguard the peace of the world, will be futile
There never has been and there never can be world
peace under that treaty. he contends; and in that
he has the support of an eyer-growing number of
conservative American thinkers. Abroad, the same
opinicn is held by Premier Lloyd George, the
Italian government and all nations that remained
Neutral in he world war
In a recent article Frederick J. Haskns Wash
mg;on correspondent, who has a pretty close up
review of administration policies and motives, says
that President Harding is not eager to rush into
diplomatic engagements which may not be sup
ported by the senate. 1t is limited that he is
uneasy about the fate Of his arms conference trea-
ties, and there is an even chance they will be
rejected. In that case, it would be perfectly
useless for the administration to enter into any
agreement with the other powers at Genoa, under
the conditions imposed upon that meeting, because
there would be scarcely any chance of their rati-
fcation by the senate
This country retains good deal of fast dimin-
ishing sympathy fer France, but it will not follow
her In her military ambitions though it is loath, as
is also Great Britain, to say so officially But the
sooner it is understood the better it will be for
all parties concerned. Moreover, with the defeat
Of the League of Nations covenant as precedent
the senate prepared to assume full responsibility
for the nations foreign affairs, and that too might
as well be taken into consideration
The long and short of it is that if Europe wants
any more assistance from this country she will
have to check her firearms and try to smile.

MAKING IMPROVEMENTS

That old reliable publication of South Florida,
the For Myers Press has caught the spirit of prog
ress in big way and has transformed its me-
chancal department and the general appearance
of the paper 1t has just installed a Cox Duplex
press of the latest type, two new linotype machines
and various other equipment, and now issues
regular eight-page seven-column paper. made up
and printed in genuine metropolitan style.
Fort Myers is one of the most progressive lit
tie cities on the Gulf, which has enjoyed mar
vellous growth for several years. The Press is
of the agencies which has contributed largely
to this result 1t has shown its faith in its home
town by equippng itself far beyond its immediate
requirements, and it is up to the people to give
it the support it deserves. And. knowing some
thing of the spirit of Fort Myers. we have an
idea they will do it.

WHY is A CITY

Cities are the most ancient forms Of habitations
Instead Of being as many seem 10 suppose, the
last word of civilization, they are, in fact the
first word of barbarism. They owe their origin
to conditions which have past, or are rapidly
passing, away.
When Damascus was thriving metropolis of
hopeful age, its population had incentives for Iv-
ing close together to which we are strangers. They
had no transportation except man and horse power.
They could communicate only by letter or by word
OF mouth. 1t was necessary to live close 10 the
center of things in order to do business Besides,
they had little protection from marauders except
that afforded by the walls of their city. They
staid close together for protection
Today those motives are absent. The man of
the future will probably make his longer journeys
by air. He can travel hundred miles quicker
than a Babylonian suburbanine could get to the
royal palace. The area over which he can trans
act business in person has been extended many
fold. lie can get intelligence by wire across
continent good deal quicker than the Ninevite
could send his servant to inquire. A transporta-
ton system. brought to the limits of its possible
perfection, would give him access to all markets
over an area of thousands of square miles as
readily as the old Romans could reach the mar
ket places of the eternal. city,
Indeed, it would be possible today for man
stationed somewhere in the wlds of "Pennsyl-
yania to carry on almost any kind of business
simultaneously in New York. Philadelphia and
Pittsburs with much more ease and dispatch than
citizen of the little city of ancient Athens could
do business in his home town.
Most of the business men of the large cities live
at points quite distant from their place of bust.

POTTER'S FIELD

Oh, here are rows and rows of graves the
cheapest graves you ever saw; the beds of futile
foolish knaves who thought that they could beat
the law. When they are planted no one signs,
no hymns are sung prayers are said no
mourners bend with weeping eyes above the
couches of these dead. From workhouse wards
and jals they come in wagons destitute of plumes,
from every corner of the slum, to sleep in bargain
counter tombs. The sections shovel in the clay
and from the boneyard then withdraw; this is
the end of those who say that they can surely
beat the law. The criminal may think at times
that he is not total loss, and he may plan all
sorts of crimes and seem to put the same across;
but Justice eyes him every day, and always keeps
him in her mind; and though he lopes along his
way, the law is never far behind. Few criminals
live out their days in comfort such good men
know, who walk in sane and goldy ways, observ.
ing statutes as they go. Few crooks pass out
on beds Of ease, with high priced docs and
nurses near; they render up their final wheeze
behind wall beneath a pier In some dark
Jail their doom is sealed, with no one near to
heave weep and then they reach the Potters'
Field where cheaper grades Of dead men sleep

THE GOVERNOR AND THE BONUS.

1T would have been very easy tor Governor
Nestos to comply with the requests made Of him
that he ask President Harding to sign the bonus
bill 1t would have been much easier to do that
the assurance that his request would not have
had the slightest influence. on the action Of the ma
tionals executive, any more than had other messages
OF like import which were sent to Washington.
Months ago President Harding declared his UNI
qualified opposition to any bonus legislation which,
did not provide the means for raising the revenues
out of which bonus payments should be met. The
bill recently passed made no such provision. The
course of the president was clear. Unless he had
become convinced that his former position was mis-
taken, he must veto the bill or stand convicted Of
signing a bill whose provisions he considered
dangerous to the country. He had not changed his
vetoed, as any honorable, man must have done-un-
der like circumstances. ~
. Governor Nestos was elected to perform GER
tain duties for the people of the state of North Da-
kota within the field of state administration. He
was not commissioned to express the desires of the
people of the state on any subject of national legis-
lation, bonus, tariff, ship subsidy, or what not. As
a private citizen he is at liberty to entertain and ex-
press whatever view on these subjects commend
themselves to his intelligence, but on them he is in
no sense the mouthpiece of the people of his state.
That function is supposed to be performed by the
senator's and representatives in congress.
Governor Nestos makes his position. clear in
his letter to the state adjutant of the American
Legion. And we take it that the people of North
Dakota will support their governor in his purpose
to address himself vigorously to the performance
of his duties as state executive, and not to indulge
in the rather familiar pastine of chasing votes by
dipping into subjects which are outside of his juris-
diction. .s
