PEANUT PROTECTION.

General Winfield Scott Hancock.
Democratic candidate for President in
1880, spoiled his excellent prospects of
election in n campaign marked by
general Republican party demoraliza-
ton, by the incidental remark that
"the tariff is a local issue" The Re
publican National Committee seized
upon this truthful comment as an
alarming intimation Of the Democratic
tendency towards free trade. and
thereby scared the protected interests
into shoveling a huge corruption fund
into the committees Golfers. Indiana
was fiagrantly bought up for the Re
publican ticket at the October State
election then held. and this result.
with further lavish expenditures, car
ried the country in November.
Now II Is seen, in various instances,
how correctly General Hancock stated
the tariff situation. 1t is strikingly
local. One section Of the country in
sists upon protection for the benefit
Of its local profiteers. and another sec
ton does likewise. Each, however, is
insistent upon having Its own inter
ests looked after. after which the!
may OF may not combine in supper
OF other interests. And the entire
scheme OF pronteering at the expense
Of the great army of consumers II
called serving the interests OF tn
country.

A writer In the London Times, as
Stunning that Great Britain must take
tho lead In the grave task Of arrang-
ing for effective settlement OF the
enormous war debts OF Europe. pro-
poses that its country permit France.
Belgium and Italy 20 pay their war
debts To- England I'm German repara-
tion bonds. and that on tho reception
OF these bonds they Immediately be
destroyed by the British Treasury
Department. Thus. at one stroke. the
Times contributor argues. the prob
lem In Europe of inter-allied debts
would he cleared away and tho Ger
man roparations debt would be dimin-
ished. roughly. by G1.1oo. 900 600.
The writer further contends that
the first step to this solution should
he the prompt funding OF the British
debt to America. He declares that
England never expected repayment
Of the French and italian debts, and
that recovery Of the Russian war debt
was out Of the question. He expresses
the belief that II would be more &C
certahle TO France and Italy TO pay
k.f l.l ka. a.
celcd. but that II would do moro harm
than good TO issue special French and
Italian bonds 20 provide the payment
money, and that by the plan sug-
gested tho whole question might be
solved without offense 10 the dignity
OF any Ally.
This plan would be a wiping out OF
debts with vcnseance.- and It Is
doubtful the British people would con-
rs Il would involve. However. the re.
movsl OF n large part OF the burden
OF debt upon Europe would he sucf
a relief 20 the people. and consequent
ly such . potent force in the resump-
ton OF business and industrial &C

UNTIMELY TALK.

Sometimes. returning from the
mart. my life is full Of care, with
problems grave that break my
heart. and ache and tester there.
For silence then my spirit pants;
II is the balm that heals: and
Id be glad il all my aunts would
cut out foolish spiels. But
they've a dozen tales to tell TO
make me stand aghast, OF pit-
fling mishaps that befell since
l was with them last. They see
the CHASTITY sweat of grief upon
my pallid brow, but they don't
make their stories brief, or any
rest allow. The gossip of the
neighborhood l hear in all de-
tails; how Mrs. Bunk and Mrs.
Stood scrapped with their finger
nails; the Smiths We're driven
from their fat, my Aunt
Jemima drools. because they
kept an Airedale cat, which was
against the rules; old CATER
Twinkle beat his wife, with many
lusty smacks, because she used
his pocketknife TO pry out rusty
lacks. I'm wearied by the beast
ly grind. I'm faded and dis
traught, and have problems in
my mind that call for sober
thought. And all the females of
my house, my aunts and nieces
nine. are chipping around like
startled grouse. and wrench this
heart Of mine. When man, who
wins the daily bread, TO his
bleak dwelling goes. his aunts
should merely soak his head, and
let him have repose.

WHAT WAS DONE BY BASEBALL
FANS AT THE RECENT MEETING
FLORIDA STATE ASSOCIATION

The Orlando Morning Sentinel gives
a detailed report OF the proceedings of
the recent conference at Orlando OF
the baseball fans and officials con-
nected with the FLORIDA State League:
When the roll was called Thursday
afternoon at the meeting of the Flor
ida State League, every president an
swered AYE both as to his own pres
ence at the meeting, and also as to the
intention of his club to participate in
the league games the coming season.
The meeting was held in the office of
the Florida Land Sales Co., and was

cd. and il was voted to change the by
laws. so that each week the sum of
500 towards the maintence of the
presidents office, and the hiring Of
umpires. The double umpire system
was adopted. as being the fairest and
best, and the clubs all agreed to de
Fray the extra expense entailed.
The clubs adopted a rule that each
team should stand on its own bottom,
with regard to gate receipts. and only
receive the money taken in at the
home gate. 1t was, however. voted to
GLOW each visiting team a guarantee
Of $50 per game for each game sched-
uled of played, this guarantee coming
rom the home team on whose
grounds such games are scheduled.
A motion to enlarge the list of class
men to three. instead of two, was lost,
rs two members refused to vote, and
President Rose declined to cast the
deciding vote. because odefnite and
final action was taken at a former
meeting, and he believed that should
have settled the matter.
The offer of Knight & Wall of
Tampa, to furnish the Reich No. go"
baseball was accepted. the only ether
i'd coming from jacksonville. This
is the ball that gave such eminent sal
isfaction last season. and Manager
Burke of the Orlando team was we'll
satisfied with the feature of the pro
ceedings.
Finally. it was moved and seconded
and adopted, that there should be a
split season. during the coming sum
rler. It was the concensus Of opinion
that it would stimulate interest in the
game, as well as smell the gate re-
ceip.s. to adopt this plan which work
ed cut so successfully in the 1920 sea-
son.
After a great deal of dclihcration
regarding framing the playing sched.
ule. it was finally agreed TO leave tbs
work to f. G. Hauselt and Frank Cul
len of President Roses office. The
schedule Will be referred to each club
for adoption, and should the result be
tie. the matter will be settled by
vote OF the league president.
Those present representing the diff
i ferent clubs. were as follows:

ident. Kyle Fox and Sam Ellis of the
Florida Metropolis, and Harry Cullen,
