A REAL INDICTMENT

The publisher of the Crisfield, Md,
Times has the right idea for giving
something of real and lasting value
as q premium to its workers in a sub
scription contest. The winners, of
whom there will be two, will be given
a trip to Florida via the Merchants &
Miners Steamship Line. After arrival
in Florida they will also be given an
opportunity to visit number of points
OF interest in the state at the expense
of the Times. We know that the trip
will be immensely enjoyed by the for
tunate winners, and we trust that
Ocala and Silver Springs will be in
Guided in the state itinerary. To visit
Florida and not see Silver Springs,
given up to be the largest in the
world, would be like visiting Washing
ton without going to see the capitol
building. The springs have a flow of
369,913 gallons minute and the wa
ter is so clear that dime is easily
seen at depth of sixty feet. By all
means Mr.. Times, send your workers
to Silver Springs.

For a Good GaIiop.

The famous poem How They
Brought the Good News From Chen
TO AK" by Robert Browning, has beer
the cause of great argument. At 1ht
time of its publication, much specua
ton was aroused as TO what was tiit
'gocd news which was carried be
tween those two points. and what wa!
the nature of the event which the
verses celebrate. Mr.. Browning, him
self, wrote a letter in 1882 which dis
poses of the subject for all time
There is no sort of historical founda
ton for the poem" wrote Mr.. Brown
ing. Il wrote il under the bulwaTk %
a vessel off the African coast, after
had been at sea long enough to appTe
ciate even the fancy of gail0p OF

has TO do is to send man to look
thru the records.
The Star, unless prevented by some
difficulty it cannot set aside, always
prints reports of the council meet
ings. When possible, it sends a re-
porter; when it cant obtain the serv-
ices OF man, it prints the official re-
port. A great deal Of the matter the
Banner asks for-statements of sal
aries, money paid for machinery and
supplies, has been printed in the Star.
This matter has to be printed as news,
if at all, as it would add heavily to the
city's expense to pay for it. The city
manager has for the last two or three
weeks been busy between his other
jobs in making out a statement of the
financial condition of the city. and
when it is complete he will publish it
and if any. citizen doubts its correct
ness all he has to do is to go TO the
records, which are kept by the city
clerk and always open TO the public.

Climate Affects Civilization.

Marking on a map of the world the
areas where climate was most favor
able to human effort, Professor Els
worth Huntington, of Yale university,
called them zones of climate energy.
Delving into history, he then plotted
a map of civilization, and found that
the two maps conceded. His con-
clusion was that climate has a great
influence on health, and its action on
civilization in this way probably is
greater than its direct effect or than
the indirect results arising through
agriculture or food
Professor Huntington took the
records of pieceworkers in Pittsburgh
factories and students at West Point
and Annapolis and found that both
physical and mental work varied in
harmony with the weather. He found
that the death rate also tiuctuated
seasonably according to the weather.
He therefore concluded that no high
civilization is possible III the tropical
regions, or where weather conditions
are adverse. No high accomplishment
was held possible where temperature
and humidity are unfavOrable.

THE MUCH NEEDED REMEDY

A number of citizens living along
the Blitchton road met the other day
: at Fellowship and held a good roads
meeting. While we have no report of
the meeting, we are tolerably sure it
was mostly taken up with talk about
the condition of the road that runs
across, the northwest corner of the
county and the hope or hopelessness
of its improvement.
If the people of that section want
something like real roads, they should
get behind their commissioner and in
sist on his helping the other members
of the board to employ a county engi-
necr. AS long as the county persists
in the present system, it will never
have anything but amplified wagon
tracks, in ned of constant repair.
s Most of the trouble of the Blitchton
road is caused by the route it follows.
No engineer would have laid it up and
down the hills nor thru the marshes,
with so much even and firm ground on
every side.
Another instance is the new road
to Dunnellon, via Cotton Plant and
Juliette. In some places along this
road, it was laid out with downright
stupidity.
The people must decide whether
they will have their road money spent
in scientific and business-like man.
ner, or scattered in each commission
er's district in manner that is con-
tinuous expense with no permanent
Improvement. It's up to them. 1t all
depends on the sort of men they elect
to the board of county commissioners.
A commissioner, unless he is a man
of strong character and devotion to
the public good, will favor his own
district, trying to have every dollar
of the county money that he can OBJ
tain spent so as it will go into the
pockets of his neighbors. That sort OF
policy did very well forty years ago.
But it is just about forty years out of
date.

ATTRACTIVE, ROOM FOR BOY
Youngster Will Appreciate Surround
ings That Are Comfortable and
of Good Appearance.

A boys room needs to be practical,
indestructible, convenient and boyish,
says the Designer. The room should
be beautiful, but it should be founded
on masculinity from the start; there
should be no thin curtains, frills, or
any of the fragile cOlors; everything
must be simple of line, plain and I'M
Obtrusive; things must be arranged
so that every article may be kept In
its place easily; the furniture, wall
paper, rugs, must be designed for
wear. But surely, you say, these I'M
interesting requirements cannot pos
sibly result In the exciting spot that

You may furnish it very inexpen-

DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE

In another place appears an appeal
from the National Democratic Com
mittee for funds to help carry on the
campaign. Money is much needed and
every loyal democrat should help.
Give or send the Star what you can
contribute, and it will forward the
amount to the committee, printing
each donors name, so he or she can
be sure the money has been received.
The committee, this campaign, is
offering to pay the newspapers for
their advertising space, the amount to
be made up by commission on all
contributions received. The Star
doesn't suppose any democratic paper
will accept such commission 1t
gives the committee the advertising
free and will shove chip or two in
| the pot itself.

CLEAR THE ROADS

We reproduce the following from
Golfers Weekly, which is by no
means a capitalistic paper:
In the course of the railroad and
coal troubles, Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, said in newspaper letter:
"The first step toward righting
what is wrong is the establishment in
industry of a uniform cost-accounting
system. That will make possible the
scientific gathering of essential facts.
Second, public access to the facts is
required. The public cannot Judge
rightly until it knows the facts-not
part of the facts, but all of them.
Those are the first steps"
No, Mr.. Gompers, no! Those steps
are important indeed. But they do
not come first. AS regards coal and
railroading, the first step toward
peace is to give service. That is the
one essential.
Strikes differ in kind as in degree.
II Jane gets in tiff and goes home
to mother for a. while, Edward can
take his meals out while repenting of
his misdeeds. If Jack gets out of
hand and leaves school for a day OF
two, he can make it up later. School
keeps on. But if Jones and Robinson
lock their fiivvers on the highway and
try to butt each other into the ditch,
the first thing is to clear the roao.
Jones and Robinson may arbitrate,
quarrel, sue, get pinched, or do any
thing else, but that road must be kept
open for other men to pass on the err
rands of the world.
Public services are all roads of one
sort or another. They must be kept
clear Would any labor leader try to
defend the shutdown of a city water
plant or light plant? Fanaticism
brought that about in Europe once or
twice.
Most factories. stores, shops, mills
and metal mines can be closed for a
time without great loss. Such stop
pages are often part of the routine of
business. Strikes are sometimes
labor's only way of getting better
treatment from selfish or ignorant
employers who otherwise will give no
heed to justice.
But strikes in our great services
are treacherous war on those who rely
on those services This war is also
foolish. The great gains in railroad
wages. the great changes in railroad
rates, have been made in peace while
trains were running, and by law, not
by force. The same is true of coal.
The threat of force, of stopping the
service, never works justice, but gives
the strong more than their share ana
the weak less, and insures future trou-
BILE.
The privilege and principle of es-
sential work, of all public services, is
to do the job. That follows because
there is no substitute. To get ones
gain by the denial of necessity to
the rest of us is tyranny, whether it
is done by one or by a million.
