powers in obtaining fine balance, phras-

David Lloyd George says that
while the people of England should
not be alarmed at the situation in
India, that it is worth while to con-
slider it with some concern. The
people of India are under fair
control and England has sufficient
force to maintain order in that
country, the premier says.
Speaking of the causes of unrest
in India, he assigns as the reason
that it is simply part of the world
wide movement for greater freedom
of unrestrained thought and action.
The provinces of India have been
ruled for years by Indian princes
who have either governed wisely or
unwisely, and have therefore made
the people under them fairly happy

BOOSTING HYLAN FOR PRHSI-
DENT

Mayor Hylan of New York was
boosted for President at meeting
of the Palm Beach Rotary Club re-
Gently which had the mayor and Mr..
Whalen as it's guests. Mr.. Whalen
is Commissioner of docks, ferries and
bridges in the metropolis and he
and the mayor are spending vaca-
tion at the Florida resort.
Mr.. Whalen praised the work TO
the mayor in Strengthening out the
troubles in the great city, and said
among other things that the Demo-
cratic party had reached that point
in it's career when it needed an emil
nently practical man at the head of
it's affairs, and a man who had, as
Mayor Hylan had done, demonstrate
ed an extraordinary ability in hand
ling all the jobs that he had tackled.
He said that the mayor was an in
veterate worker, getting to his Office
at eight o'clock in the morning and
working frequently as late as ten
shown the corporations of the city,
who felt that they had special rights
and privileges, that the interests Of
the people is the first consideration.
He said that the country could not
! do better than elect Mayor HYlan,
and the Democratic party would be
successful at the polls if it selected
| him as it's national standard bearer
When it came to Mayor Hylan's
turn that distinguished gentleman,
| whom it must be admitted has had
no easy job in bringing the folks in
the metropolis around to his way of
thinking, said that the people of
New York are now in the saddle and
wouE remain as long as he had any
thing to do with the conduct of its
, affairs. The housing and transpor-
tation problems had given him great
concern, but he hoped to remedy
these as early as possible. He paid
a compliment to Mr.. Whalen's effort
to eliminate many of the city trou-
| bIeS on account of dock privileges
and the effort to more satisfactorily
handle the freight coming into the
city by water at smaller cost than
heretofore.
4 Mayor Hylan said that three men
in New York had stood by him in al
the plans that he had attempted, and
these were Mr.. Murphy the leader Of
Tammany Hall, Mr.. Hearst the edi
tor of the Journal, and Mr.. Wanna
maker.
Mayor Hylan must be a pretty
good politician, as well as bushes:
man, if he has been able to ge
, these three fellows to lie straight il

THE SCHOOL DEFICIT

In response to. the request con-
dained in the letter of Mr.. w. F.
Woodard published in yesterdays
Times regarding the school deficit
for which funding bonds will be is
sued to cover and the deficit in the
county and road funds, we today in
terviewed Mr.. C. L. Coon, superin-
tendent of schools for Wilson county,
and secured answers to the follow
ing questions:
With reference to the building of
school houses in the various school
districts, we asked Mr.. Coon from
what source this money was derived,
and whether any money was taken
from the general school fund for
this purpose. He replied there are
three sources from which money is
secured to erect the school buildings
of the county:
First, the sale of bonds; second,
from the eleven cent tax rate for
building purposes; and third, from
4u0 SLdC0 Duuu1uS luuu.
We asked him how much money
had been received from the State OF
the $4,000 appropriated by the last
Legislature to cover the deficiency of
the schools of the State as result OF
the increased teachers salary list
He, replied $1,000, but that this
amuunt was entirely inadequate to
cover the deficiency in Wilson coun-
ty on account of the fact that the
, State is attempting to provide only
for a six months school term and
Wilson county has a much longer
term
We asked Mr.. Coon if at the be
Z ginning of every year he computed
the cost of operating the schools, and
arranged his budget for the coming
year, and laid this budget before the
county commissioners. He said thai
this had been done, and that the
commissioners fixed the tax rate fol
schools upon the basis of this bud
get. But the trouble was that in tn,
uncertain condition following tn,
war, the necessity for living within
the ten per cent property increase
and the greatly increased cost of op
Grafton of the schools for fuel ant
other incidental expenses, togethe
with the increase in teachers sala
ries, it was impossible to anticipat,
all the cost. He points to the fac
that the schools of the state overral
their budgets, and were compelled t.
/ go to the legislature for relief a
proof of this statement.
Mr.. Coon promises as quickly a
possible to give US an itemized &C
count of the expenditure whicl
brought about the deficit in tn
school fund in this county.

FAR MORE DIPLOMATIC

Mr.. Bryan's statement regarding
his course, should the Democrats of
Florida decide to send him to the
Senate, reads like a chapter from
modern diplomacy. He is not only
willing to leave the matter in the
hands of his friends, but says he has
reached that time in his life when
he cannot afford to make a contest
for the place.
This does not read like the fight
ing Bryan Of old, but does have the
ring of a man who has learned by
the experiences Of the past. Who
ever heard before of Mr.. Bryan
leaving a nomination in the hands of
any one except himself? Who has
ever heard before of Mr.. Bryan seek.
