The Tampa Citizen asserts that If
the proposed reapportionment amend
mcnt is adopted at the coming cleo
ton. six additional senator's will be
provided, "of which north and west
Florida will grab four, leaving two to
other sections of the state" This
assertion moved the OCala Star to
call upon the Citizen to tell where it
got it's information, and continues:
Members of the legislature have in
formed us that of the new senators,
one is to go to Pinellas, one to Dade,
one to Broward and Palm Beach, one
to Brevard and st. Lucie and one to
the bunch of new counties cut ont Of
DeSOto." The fact OF the matter is,
as the Star points out, no one knows
just which counties or groups of
counties will get the larger number
of the additional senators, and no
one will know until after the legis-
lature meets and apportions them, if
the proposed amendment is adopted.
More pure bunk has been printed
lament the proposed reapportionment
amendment than any other question
that has been before the people of
this state for many years, some of the
newspapers opposing it having work
ed themselves into a perfect frenzy.
but in spite Of all the ranting, since
we have no reputation as prophet
to lose, we'd Just as soon" predict
that the proposed amendment will be
adopted as to predict that it will be
defeated

Are you Democrat? Did you
vote in the Democratic primary held
last June sixth? Then you are under
moral obligation to support the party
nominees in the general election,
whether or not the primary candidate
of your choice won the nomination.
The object of our primaries is to Sc
lect, in advance of the general elec
tion, Democratic candidates who will
receive the full Democratic vote in
the general election, and in this way
keep the control of our government
in the hands of Democrats. Unless
we adhere to this plan, the time may
come, and that very soon, when we
Democrats will find ourselves on the
outside looking in and the Republi-
cans on the inside looking out. Old
er people remember when the Repub
licans were in power in the South and
know what Republican rule means. II
you are a Democrat and believe in the
things the Democratic party stands
for-go to the polls Tuesday, Novem-
Der seventh, and vote for Democrats.

During the past week we have
made it a point to get the views of a
number OF property owners who
would be affected by the proposed
street Improvements, and surprising
indeed is the unanimity of sentiment
expressed. Without exception those
interviewed are in favor-strOngly in
fayOr-of having the Improvements
made-and without exception they
want a permanent type Of paving.
They want to put down real streets
to begin with, so they will have
something to show for their money
after they finish paying for them,
and for years afterward. Temporary
improvements, while costing less to
begin with, are worth far less while
they last, cost more to maintain, are
far less satisfactory, and eventually
must be torn up and replaced with
something better, making them far
more expensive in the long run than
the costlier semi-permanent improve
ments. Here it may be stated that
the placing of shell on a number of
streets has caused confusion, a num-
Der of people, at least, thinking that
they were to be assessed for this
work. This is not the case. This
work is being done at the expense of
Ihe general street fund, and was re-
sorted to as a temporary expedient to
make the streets passable during wet
weather

is owned by the town of Punta Gorda,
it is clearly the duty of the town to
provide more ground and otherwise
improve the property, and as the road
leading to the cemetery is used by the
general public. it is clearly the duty
OF the county to improve it, as much
as its means will allow, without de-
lay, and this, we understand, is to be
done, the matter having been brought
to the attention of the commissioners.

AID TO EUROPE
SEEMS ASSURED
PROPOSAL MADE BY U. S. TO
SOLVE GERMAN
DEBT.
PLAN TO MEET CRISIS
COMMISSION TO BE APPOINTED
TO FIX AMOUNT OF
PREPARATIONS.

Washington.-A plan under which
an American commission would deter
mine how much Germany should be re-
quired TO pay the allies in reparations
has emerged from the effort to find Il
way for extending American aid to-
ward solution OF the economic troubles
of Europe.
Although discussions of the proposal
have been kept thus far outside the
formal channels of diplomacy, the ex-
change of views has developed II thor
ough understanding in authoritative
circles that the United States, Great
Britain and Germany are willing to as
sent to the ere, ion of such u commits
sion.
The plan low is before Premier
Poincare of France and he is expected
to make a decision after conferences
with industrial leaders of his W
country and of Germany. 1t is as
sumed that it will be communicated
later to all the nations Interested in
PREPARATION payments.
Department officials made it plain
that they would not be drawn into any
departure from the formal terms OF
Secretary hughes brief statement,
which follows:
1.-The Department of State cannot
discuss tentative proposals which are
made to it with respect to the Euro
pean situation. The report that this
government had presented to other
governments u proposal for an Amer
fran annarnfGGinn fS nnfnnndaI hf
course, it follows that no assent of any
other government to such a proposal
has been received.
In authoritative quarters ii was
learned that before the commission
proposal reached the attention of gov
nmen officials, a first effort to
bring the combined weight of indus
trial influence in the allied countries,
Germany and the United States to
bear on the r%eparations stumbling
block were made nearly six months
ago.
In Germany, Great Britain, the
United States and France. a series Of
private conferences were held between
important figures in the international
industrial world. The movement met
with stiff opposition in France at that
time. but later when the council Of
premiers faced complete rupture in
London this month, the effort was re-
newed with great hopes of success to
find a common ground for a final re-
partitions settlement.
The proposal to create a commits
sion of American industrial leaders
to measure Germany's economic ca
pacity as it is today seems to have
been the expression of a consensus of
opinion among the business interests
of all nations, that such a course
would be wise. since the United States
is not a participant in Germany's re-
parations payments. Mr.. Burns state
ment makes the American business
viewpoint on that question entirely
plain.

81 was smoking
my pipe when
it came to me-
Which may, or may not,
be a boost for Edgeworth

How many good ideas are born in a
pipe of tobaccoi There is something
in the calm contentment of smoking a
pipe that seems to open up the mind
for new ideas.
A busy man, a thinker, whose brain
is cr~isscrossed with a thousand i'm
pressions, finds that smoking his pipe
wipes out most of the confusion, and
leaves his mind clean, so that the new
idea, the inspiration, has a much
better chance to make its impression
as if pipe-smoking wiped all the
chalk-marks from the blackboard of
the mind and invited new ideas, new
thoughts, and creative plans to OUT
line themselves thereon.
Lots of men get good ideas when
shaving. Many more find their new
ideas when putting away at the pipe.
The right kind of tobacco is an i'm
portant matter to a pipe-smoker-
though, like breathing, he seldom
thinks of it. Having settled on a GER
tain brand, it becomes a habit to buy
that. If the tobacco just suits his
taste, it doesn't matter what its name
is oil what it costs-it becomes
his tobacco.
Edgeworth suits many men. We
presume there are some men who
wouldn't like Edgeworth. 1t is a

We want those men to try Edge
worth. We would like to hand them

impossible. we'll do what we can.
The makers Of Edgeworth will send
free samples to any pipe-smoker who
will ask for them. Simply send a postal
or a note asking for these free samples
and they'll come to you by the first
mail.
Edgeworth comes in two forms
Ready-Rubbed and Plug Slice. In
either form 1t is a moist, fragrant to-
bacco that packs nicely, lights quickly
n burns freely and evenly.

will make brilliant ideas come to you;

ightful smoke-and after all. that's
all that good tobacco is supposed to
give.

NAVY OIL LEASES HIT
BY SENATOR LA TOILETTE
Understood in White House Circles
That President Harding Also Is
Dspleased by Deal.

Washington, .pril 29.-An advance

ment had leased the Wyoming naval
oil reserve 10 a private company.
caused trading In the cOmpany's stock
TO jump 10 more than S3OOOO,OOO In

was withheld from the newspapers
and the public. Senator In Toilette,
Republican OF Wisconsin, charged.
An Investigation by the senate pub
lie lands committee of the "inclair
"oll DEAL" In which the Wyoming Tea
pot Dome field vas leased. and OF all
the circumstances surrounding the
leasing OF naval oil reserves in Califor-
mia and Wyoming to private interests
was proposed In a resolution offered.
President HARDING and his admins
tration. Senator La Toilette said. had
"repudiated and reversed" the policy
OF protecting the naval oil reserve
which former Presidents Roosevelt;
Taft and Wilson had maintained "over
an unbroken period OF more than a

While Senator La Toilette was max
ing his charges I'm the senate II was
understood In administration circles
that the White House had sent TO the
Interior department for all available
papers and data regarding the trans
action. Some administration senator's
admitted having been tipped or at
the White House that the President
was mot entirely satisfied" with the
way the Sinclair deal was engineered
by Secretary FAN.
Senator La Toilette accused Secre-

their influence not only TO turn the
naval oil reserves over TO private in
