NINETEEN TWENTY.O WAS A YEAR OF PROGRESS
:. FOR PUNTA GORDA AND CHARLOTTE COUNTY :.

In spite of the hard times"
that prevailed in nearly every
section of the country during
the year past, 1921 was a year
of progress and comparative
prosperity for Punta Gorda and
Charlotte county.
Persual of the Herald's files
for the past year bring to mind
many community and individ-
ual accomplishments and pro-
gressive steps of minor impor-
tance when considered separ-
ately, but of great Importance
when considered collectively as
indicators of renewed faith in
the community's stability on
the part of its people. These
may be passed without men
tion, but lest some be tempted
to say that no progress has been
made, few of the years out
standing accomplishments will
be recalled:
The Charlotte harbor bridge,
the greatest engineering and
construction project of the kind
ever attempted and successful
ly completed by a Florida COM
munity of similar size and re-
sources, was completed and OPP
ened to traffic on July fourth,
and by the work and means of
private individuals the road
from the bridge to the Sarasota
county line was opened to traf-
fic.
After keeping up a continu-
GUS fight, which originated in
Punta Gorda, for twenty years
or more, the Empire of De-
Soto" was divided, resulting in
the creation of Charlotte and
three other new counties. A
large share of the credit for
this must be given to the Hon.

GILCHRIST COMING BACK
TO PUNTA GORDA TO LIVE?
ntimates That He May be Able to
Spend More of His Time
Here i'm Future

His host of friends here will be
lad to know that in future Ex-Gov-
rnor Gilchrist expects to be able to
pend more of his time in Punta Cor
da, which he still calls home" al
hough he has been able to spend but
title time here during the past sew
raj years, owing to the demands of
his business in Georgia.
The editor has received the follow
ing long letter from the ex-governor.
in which he suggests that he will be
able to spend more of his time here
in future and INDUCES in reminiscen-
ses of the political campaign in which
he was defeated for the U. S. Senate
and gives the probable reason for his
defeat. "a defeated candidate
should have a right to any kind of
soothing syrup that will soothe his
disturbed equnimity," observes the
ex-governor.

COMMISSIONER HAYNES DECLARES PEOPLE SHOULD
 BE WITNESSES FOR GOVT.

Apathy of many citizens was blamed as preventing a better enforcement of the prohibition law by Prohibition Commissioner Haynes in an address before the delegates 10 the Anti Saloon League convention
 Some seem to have the opinion h. said. that the government is not serious. that the law is a joke, and that people prefer d laugh to law. II k a strange sense of humor when we laugh at the constitution"
 Silence on the part of the great law abiding and law-upholding major ity of our people is sometimes m'Sin- torprcted ny newspaper men and pub lie officials as either disintercstedness or disapproyal of the law" Mr Haynes declared. "but in the light of my eN- pcriencc in the past few months aS Federal prohibition commissioner, l am persuaded that it is not quite enough to den0unce the public official who iS reereant of duty in enforcing the law. hut we should go further and give encouragement and support to those officials who are giving their best efforts to make the law effective; and we should go further than puIic utter ance or private expression. We should ho willing to act as witnesses for the government when the facts of violation are in our possession II would also be well for citizens interested in law enforcement to attend the courts, giv- ing moral support to the government officials"
 Pretty strong words May we abide hy them.
