COUNTING CONFUSION

The Herald believes firmly in pre- people to the people for decision where good may come of it. It be- lieves that if majority of the think ing people of a country or communi- ty wants a certain thing to the extent of voting for it that is the thing that will be best for the people. In other words The Herald has great faith in the sound judgment of the people.
 Where, however, nothing but con- fusion will result from presenting matter to the people, good cannot come. Members of the city meeting board are "the people" for the pur pose of fixing the tax rate. There will be two budgets before that board, legally, tomorrow evening. There will be only two before the meeting legal ly. The law provides that budgets shall be advertised before presenta- ton. Only two have been advertised 
 by the city clerk. He acted within his authority and in accordance with the law in accepting but two budgets if the facts as understood are correct. But whether or not those reports are correct, or whether or not his judg ment was correct and it is believed he could not have done other wise than he did, legally-the fact remains that only two budgets have been advertised, that advertise ment is necessary before the board may legally consider budget, and that, therefore, a third budget cannot be considered.
 In a community such as this it would not be wrong to explain the facts to the city meeting board. It would be decidedly wrong, however, to intimate to the city meeting board that it had the right to take final action" on any budget other than the two legally DetOre II. SuCh lntlma- tion could only result in confusion. If, on mention of the budget, some member of the board should move it's adoption the presiding officer would be compelled to rule such motion out of order The law would be violated were the board to consider such budget. Any attempt to have the budget brought up and passed upon would be inspired only by desire to have the people feel that they had really decided the matter themselves through their representatives, when, i'll fact, their representatives have nothing to say in regard to the matter as the situation now stands. Political capital may be made out of the failure to have third budget passed upon. Such political capital should not be sought to be destroyed by pre- senting a budget that does not exist legally.

DRY YOUR TEARS AND HELP

Those who protested loudly that Frank Butterworth was taking money from the needy ex-service men when he drew a salary and paid expenses for administering the state fund, wept mental tears at the injustice being done eX-seryice men. Now some of them have a chance to dry their tears and make everything all right by helping raise the money to administer that fund, They have been named on committee appointed for that pur- pose. They need not worry any longer. All they will have to do, these heart- felt sympathizers who felt so badly that Mr. Butterworth and his assist anta were getting paid for working days and in many cases evenings, will be to buy lot of stamps with money out of their own pockets and lot of stationery and give lot of their time to writing apepals to administer the fund--or, even better, and something that would make them happier still, they might pay the clerks necessary to do this work themselves.
 Of course it will be necessary to have some one man with some educa- tion and judgment and some execu- tive ability to lend his wisdom to the general management of the adminis- tration of the fund, but of course there are plenty fsuch men who are more than willing to give their time to this fine cause. A person occupy ing financial State position, for in- stance, would be d good one for this work True, he might not have the human understanding of the needs of ex-service men that would be of as- sstance in administering justice, but able to scatter the fund where it would help some of those who needed it in ways other than political.
 So, gentlemen who objected to the spending of a part of the fund in ad- ministering it, thank State Command CT Seymour of the American Legion who, incidentally is to be congratu- latel on his appreciation of the value of a sense of humor-for giving you the chance to aid those who did not administering of the fund in seeking the funds necessary to administration men, and help.

SHIPS RADIO NOW ! LINKED WITH PHONE
New Canaan, Conn, Talks With
 Boat 3GO Miles at Sea

New York, March GA ship to shore wireless telephone call, connect ing with an ordinary telephone in- strument was achieved last night. En- gineers of tho American Telephone and Telegraph Company and the Am erican Radio Corporation carried out the successful experiment. Captain William Rind on board the steamship America. 36o miles at sea- talked to H. B. Thayer. president of the tele- phone company in his home at New Canaan, Conn.
 This experiment demonstrated, off, cals of the telephone company said, that it would soon be possible to call ships hundreds of miles at sea and talk with friends on board as easily as one now can telephone to New Haven or Philadelphia.
 In addition to talking to Mir. Thay- CT, Captain Rind. radio engineers and several others on board the America talked to d group of telephone com pany officials and reporters in the company offices at A Walker street.
 Reporters Present.
 Martin Petry, New York Sun re- porter, who was returning from Europe on the America followed Captain Rind on the phone. He had been told that several newspaper men were listening in and he immediately asked them if they would take a story for his paper with the privilege of using it themselves.
 Nineteen American soldiers" MT. Petry said "who were volunteers in the Spi..lisi1 Foreign Legion arc on board. One of them, George Hardy of Cleveland, Ohio, will go to hos- pital as soon as he lands to have a bullet extracted from his chest just over his heart, Hardy said that he would not trust the Spanish surgeons to do the operation. The men all say that the Spanish government did not live up to it's contract of $50 pesetas month. They were forced to buy their own uniforms out of their pay, and there is not cent among the nineteen. They are still wearing their Spanish uniforms, and none of them know what they are going to do after they land.'
 Captain Rind also talked with R. D. Whtock of the United States shipping board.
 Captain Talks.
 We have 66S passengers" Captain Rind said, 'and VIC have had a good crossing, although rather rough. We ought to reach Quarantine by 5:30 tomorrow afternoon and be alongside at 7 tomorrow night"
 Mrs. Martin Petry, J. F. Harrington and A. V. Amy of the Radio corpora. tion were others who talked to friends on shore.
 The experiment was conducted through the telephone company's wireless plant at Deal Beach, N. J. The Walker street building and MT. Thayer's home in New Canaan were connected with the Deal Beach sta- tion by the ordinary telephone circuit.
 Telephone company officials said that they had talked to the America when she was 16DO miles out.
 The experiment last night lasted for one period of thiry minutes and an- other of almost an hour. Except for a short time at the beginning the voices were perfectly audible, and it was possible to hear each word dfs- tinctly

STRATON LOCKS UP
 RECORDS FOR BRADY
Finds 7S Preachers and 655
 Actors Behind Bars Of Jais

New York, March 6.-1'he Rev. Dr. John Roach Straton, pastor of Calva- ry Baptist church. Fifty seventh street. near Seventh avenue, an- nounced to his congregation last night that there were seventy-eight clergy men behind prison bars in the united States as against 6G5 actors. The com parative figures were given in refuta- tion of an argument advanced by "ll- liam A. Brady, theatrical producer, In a recent debate on stage morals, Tn Dr. Straton's church, when MT. Brady asserted that there were more minis ters than actors in jail.
 Defends Preachers
 Dr. Straton contended that the figures would show 2,S32, instead of seventy-eight preachers in jail Ii among the preachers the same ratio of criminals obtained as among the people of the stage. He contended that the ministry lost no time in turning over to the authorities it's criminal members whereas the stage did no such thing.
 II have no doubt" Dr. Straton said that the few preachers who are In the penitentiaries of this country richly deserve what they got. l have no doubt either, that if the preachers had been a little more on the job in their efforts to save souls, there would be fewer actors in the penitentiariess
 Prison Reports
 Citing what he said were statistics from the census of the United States and from the reports of New York State prisons give the following data as to the number of actors and clergy men in the institutions: Sing Sing Prison, actors, no clergymen: Au- burn Prison, actors Gone Woman, no clergymen; Clinton Prison, actors no clergymen Great Meadows, ? actors, no clergymen.
 Here, then, we have in 1919 in our New York prisons sixteen actors; no clergymcn The record did not even come up to the historic standard Of Mir. Bryan's 1 6 to 1. No, the score was 16 to 0. To drop into baseball parl- ance, the actors shut the preachers completely out" said Dr. Straton.
 For the year 1920 the preachers did make a little better showing. There were in all New York State prisons 47 actor and actresses and only 4 clergymcn Despite what seems to have been a mild batting rally by the preachers in 1920, and despite the fact that there was five time as many preachers as actors, they could only get across 4 runs to the actors AT.
 "There is really pawfu, and when we come to the country as a whole, it is even worse. The census of 1910 shows that there were 655 actors in the prisons of the United States and only 7S clergymen.
 We need also to remember that there were 11S,OO0 clergymen in the country and only 2S,0o0 actors. If cergymen furnished as many crim- inals in proportion to their numbers as the actors furnished, there would have been 2,S32 instead of the 7S which the census reports. In other words, there are "A criminals to each i 1000 actors and less than 1 criminal to 1000 preachers.

Of the present republican member
ship of 298 in the house, Mr.. Adams

Pinellas County
Ways Having Fun
With Town Names

Clearwater, Oct. 3.-The fact that
many negroes pronounce Dunedin"
in manner to. resemble "done eat
in" has prompted plays on the
names of the principal cities of Pinel-
Jas county with some startling re-
suits.
The most recent was worked out
by Judge H. Blaine Peacock, who
asked The Clearwater Sun: eff you
dine in st. Petersburg, eat Tarpon
and drink Clearwater, will you be
Dunedin when you get to Largo?"
The query of the judge was an
swered promptly by a local citizen,
who replied:
"You will be Dunedin, all right, but
what will you Ozona?"
At last accounts the youngsters
were attempting to work Largo
into combination, bearing in mind
the translation of the word as it is
used by musicians.
