We believe it was Josh Billings, or
Bill Nye, who said "It is betetr not

much that is not So" Likewise, a
man who preceded these old proverb-
making philosophers said something
about little learning being a dan
gerous thing. All of them were right.

long haul in the state based on a

cal rates to destination in Florida.
To illustrate: Rates all-rail from
New Yor kto Lakeland are lower
than rates via water to Tampa plus
rail from Tampa to Lakeland; while
the rate via water to Tampa from
New York is so much lower than the
all-rali rate from New York to Tam
pa that there is hardly any compar-
ison that can be justified, and the
distance from Tampa to Lakeland is
only 80 miles.

PUTTING A CITY ON A
BUSINESS RASIS

The News produces today spe
cial article from The Dearborn In
dependent, published by Henry Ford
showing what has been accomplish.
ed in one of the cities which very re.
Gently adopted a commission-city
manager form of government. We
commend it to the careful perusal of
every citizen of Palatka. This city
has been backward in taking advan-
tage of opportunity furnished by the
experience of other municipalities, to
modernize its city government and
operation. The old council, dominat-
ed, in this particular instance, by the
city attorney and the then presi-
dent, defeated the only effort made
last year to ascertain if Palatka de-
sires to modernize it's business af-
fairs. We trust that the present
council will go into the matter very
seriously and at least submit to the
people the decision as to whether the
present antiquated charter shall be
revised in time for enactment into
law at the next session of the legis-
lature.
The experience of Sacramento,
featured in the article printed on an
other page, is but one of the hun
dreds of experiences where the bust
ness-like principle has been adopted.
No doubt there are instances in Flor
ida that reflect the benefitc of such
form as positively as does that of
Sacramento. Some time ago a state
ment of the progress made in Tam
pa under the city manager plan set
at rest all political opposition until
now there is scarcely ever a word
heard from the forces which fought |
to the last ditch against giving up
their tenure on the public purse
strings and local control. We await |
with a great deal of interest the first !
annual report of the city manager of
Tampa.
Palatka is no longer a town. 1t is
a growing city, and business men no
longer have the time to give to city
affairs they once did when there was
little to do, either for the city or for
ones business. 1t is impossible to
transact the city's business at two |
month where eighteen
men gather for discussion. The
present council can render no great
er service than by providing for a
revision of the charter to conform
to modern and proven methods of
,ity administration.

WELCOME, KNIGHTS TEMPLAR.

Palatka is fortunate, indeed, in
having as its guests during the last
three days of this week delegates to
the annual conclave of the Knights
Templar of Florida. Two hundred,
or more, leading men of Florida
many accompanied by their wives,
will make the pilgrimage to Palatka
to participate in the annual cere-
monies of an organization which is
one of the great forces in the world
for moral and social uplift and ad-
vancement.
Local knights have been industri-
ously preparing for the coming of
their brothers, and we feel very sure
that there will be nothing lacking in
cordiality of the welcome or degree
of the hospitality afforded. The
program has been carefully prepared
and each detail entrusted to compe-
tent committees, so that the twenty |
eighth conclave will be remembered |
by the visitors as one of the very |
pleasant incidents of their member
