THE TABERNACLE DEFICIT.

The News has no desire to appear
in critical or analytical role in re.
ferring to several unsigned commu-
lnications which have been received,
making comment on the financial
deficit which htatements of Evan
gelist johnson show resulted from
the recent campaign here. We wish
to explain, however, that The News
policy is to publish no communica-
ton unless the name of the contrib
utor is known to the editor, at least.
1t is an unfortunate circumstance
that there is deficiency. Mr.. john
son and his co-laborers, we are as
sured, left nothing undone that might
have been done to further the cause
of Christian religion in the way they
elected to further it. They engaged
in the task arduously, and, so far as
our observation permits of comment,
the campaign was an entire spiritual
success.
1t will be unfortunate if Mr.. John
son leaves Palatka feeling that this
community has not discharged its ev-
cry obligation to him in a material
way. Mr.. johnson has made no
claim, as we understan dit, but his
published statements might be in
ferred that he is disappointed. So,
if guarantee of expenses was made
we believe it should be paid, and that
it will be paid, but if the expenses
of the campaign were greater, as
Mr.. Johnson's statement shows, than
the agreed method of revenue to-
tailed, it seems to US but fair that no
further claim should be considered as
standing against the community.
Like all agreements, the present
status depends on the terms of the
contract.

To our mind the weaving of such

| Of course we have not been hon
ored with a copy of The Winter Park
Post, that new daily paper that has
come into being principally and
Iavowedly in the interest of the re-
publican party, but through the col
umns of The Times Union we have
read the editorial that greets its
readers in it's first issue, and while
we regret to pollute our columns
with sue hvile and uncalled for SIAN
der against the cosmopolitan popu-
lation of our great state, the desire
to weave few sentences of con-
demnation against such utterances
stays the nausea we feel until our
say is said.
Here's its very words, as quoted in
The Times Union:
Strong though sore men have
grown physically, many have grown
weak in spiri%and have suffered de-
spondencs and encouragement. Not
physical labor, not from an OPP
pressive climate, not from arduous
duties to secure a livelihood, for all
these have been easy. But how
many have lost hope because they
felt that the state was populated
with degenerates, scions of the for
mer inhabitants, who were sent over
from Spain and England in the days
when Florida was a penal colony,

A COMMUNITY ON TRIAL.

aside by officials of the school boarC
and school trustees as a time fol
making a decision that is vital to the
interests of Palatka's school system
1t is to decide whether or not the
community can and will voluntarily
contribute sufficient sum of money
to extend the school term for the
grammar grades for the full nine
months. The high school will be
continued by the county.
There are many parents who
would gladly pay tuition for their
children to continue on the full nine
months term. But there are many
who are unable to pay tuition, and it
would be impracticable to continue
the school on a basis of paid tuition,
even for those who were able. Such
a suggestion should be Immediately
discountenanced if any such is made
at the mass meeting tomorrow.
Under present conditions it is re-
allied that the raising Of $4,000 by
voluntary subscriptions will be diff
ficult matter. The calls upon bust
ness men during the last few months
have been frequent, and other calls
are to be made in the very near fu-
ture for many things considered of
importance to the enjoyment and
benefit of the community. Churches
are either being built or will soon be
built, a. big evangefstic campaign
costing several thousand dollars has
just been completed, a Chamber of
Commerce program is being held in
allegiance until such time as it is re-
garded as practicable to attempt to
raise funds, there is city parf to
be beautified, the baseball club is
considered an essential in relieving
the deadly monotony of the long
summer months and it must be fl
qanced and many citizens are paying

if those who are able to give will
open their hearts and their purses,
despite temporary stringency in fl
nancial matters, that the school term
can be continued the full nine months.
But we also believe that if we can
not get the full loaf we should take
a half loaf.
The text books now being used in |
the grammar schools call for a term
of eight months, but it has been the
custom to extend the term, giving
eight months to recitations, with the

IdahO's congressional delegation to
veto house bill No. II, by massed
assembly of 500 representative busi-

ers held in the house of representa-
tives at the state house Saturday.
This action was taken after the
friends and the enemies of the meas
ure were heard in debate that lasted
six hours during which the lie was
directly cast Charges were made
that the bill constitutes "land steal"
and demand was made for the resig-
nation of Hugh Sproat as president of
the Idaho Wool Growers association
Governor D. w. Davis, speaking on
behalf of the people of the state of
Idaho, proposed eonvening the legis-
lature in extra session that proper
