portunity to properly supervise with
honest and efficient men the work
that was gong on. Because of such
conditions INSCRIPTIONS contractors
and others in authority took every
advantage to pad bills, to make pur-
chases at unseemly prices and to
pocket large gift" from the deal
ers and manufacturers in return for
such excessive prices, and to Garry
on" with such dexterity that finances
were looked upon as matters similar
to the trick balls in a circus-merely
something with which to juggle.
The belief has ever existed since
the per cent plus plan of handling
the expenditures was introduced that
fraud was having an inning such as
never before had been seen. The ad
ministration was aware Of all that
was being done, but was not in po-
sition to either discipline or demand;
although it has been learned since
that stern steps at the time the
fraudulent work was in progress
would achieved better and greater
returns.
1t has ever been common under
standing that the dealer in commod-
tiles who would demand excessive
prices because of extreme eXigencies
existing was a robber and thief
and health was not in him, the
amount involved bearing no weight
upon the extent of the crime; and if
the government can succeed in draw
ing back any share of the sum out of

"CURFEW MUST NOT
RING TONIGHT

Palatka is not the only city in the
state where there are being raised
objections to the whistling of the cur
few at some stated hour in the eve
ming. Various other cities are find
ing fault with the plan, and are sug-
costing that it is not the duty of any
city to foster-parent such children
as are neglected in a moral way by
their natural parents. Years ago
there seemed to prevail belief that
only through the ringing of a bell
would children be impressed with the
fact that bedtime" was at hand.
Somewhat later parents, impressed
with the idea that the police might
brighten to obeyance such children as
had escaped at an immature age
from parental control, urged that the
plan might be continued and a certain
element of responsibility be thus
shirked by the home. All of which is
wrong, and lessons every home tie.
In Fort Myers the shrieking of the
curfew whistle has become an an
moving noise, and the council is to be
asked to abolish the Anticipated GUS
tom. The Press Of that city tells
the following incident to make the
plea of abatement the stronger:
Last night, ten minutes before
the final initial concert of the Fort
Myers Choral society came to an end
at the Gwynne Institute auditorium,
and while the singers were in the
midst of presenting Gounod's famous
oratorio, 'Gallia,' the big fire siren
belched forth-or fifth or whatever
such whistle does-absolutely
drowned out everything else. Natu-
rally, Professor Fred Philips, the con-
ductor, was, well-put out. Imme-
diately he signaled with his baton for
the choral society to stop in the, midst
of the impressive number and every
one waited for the curfew to stop.
When the Shrek was over the concert
was resumed, the soloist going back
over that part of the score that had
been so rudely interrupted"
People of Palatka have become
tired of hearing the curfew whistle
every night, and would receive with
glee news that it was to be abolished.
If one case could be learned where it
had resulted in good the question
would be open for argument; but
comment upon the matter is too one
sided ODE interesting even in a mi
mute degree.

UNCLE SAM SEEKING
MORE FREE PUBLICITY

About this season each year the
government commences to send to all
newspaper lot of stuff which is
mailed under the guise of ''news" and
is supposed to be inserted free Of all
expense to the said economical ad-
ministration. "a special" has just
issued regarding the urgency of mail
ing all Christmas packages early in
order to insure better delivery and
in better condition.
Notwithstanding that the income of
the department is swelled during the
holidya period by about eight million
dollars, while the additional expendi-
lures amount approximately to only
three millions, it is never the policy
of the department to pay out one
cent for the publicity it asks of the
various publications scattered over
all the country.
However, large amount of the
propaganda asked by the postal de-
partment is of great value to the gne
eral public, and that is why space is
given to such suggestions as these:
"Postoffice officials are expecting
a heavy business at the Christmas
period this year, possibly heavier
than ever before. Mail was flowing
heavily as early as November /, Ii
was pointed out, and when the rush
starts so early it is taken as sign
of big rush of holiday mail.
"The department began in October
the usual preparations for the holi-
day increase and by December / the
entire service will be ready. Officials
see that mail early campaigns are
having their effect on the mailing
public, resulting in the unprecedented
early start of Christmas business.
"'Deliver all Christmas mail by
noon, December 49, is the watch
word of the service as the day draws
near, and it is very seldom that the
goal is missed.
= However, bad storm may delay
deliveries, and adds terrifically to
the bill. A storm in New York last
Christmas cost the postoffice depart
ment 100000 extra for motor Vehi-
Gle transport alone. The postal serv-
ice does not wish for white Christ
mas"
Naturally these articles, at least
many of them, are given space in the
newspapers of the world; not because
the government is too poro TO pay for
them, but because they are OF consid-
cradle value to the entire reading
public.
