of chance opemted by carnivals the percentage is tre
mendously on the side of tlhe 'house.' You hear of men
who have won much more than they staked, but you know
that ten; or fifty, men lost considerable where one man
received in return more than he paid.

struct a suitable memorial to tne men irom inns county
who offered their all for their country. The pbm sug
gested by the library Board, and which was approved by
council, is fine, but we believe it is impracticable. To
build a library to be located m Palatka would mean that
Palatka would have the entire benefit of it and other
communities in the county would hardly subscribe to it.
Palatka needs a suitable library building with up tj
d;ite equipment and books. How; to get it is a problem
vhich the withdrawal of the Oarnegie beneficiemces has
complicated. The city hasn't the money wilth which to
build it and there are probably few Who would favor bond
ing for it when so many other things are needed
A memorial to the world war veterans is an imme
diate need, taxing the appreciative spirilt of our people,
if the library is too big a task to undertake under an
emergency why not devise some other permanent form
to "perpetuate the memory of our boys?
TRAMM ELL'S TROUBLE STARTS.
ns Bni'.railv have been quietly making up
their minds that Senator Trammell might not be the log
ical canditlate to succeed himself in the United States
senate. Senator Trammel! has been characteristically the
politician since he went to the Senate, his chief objective
seeming to be to take whatever action might tie up the
most votes back home.

ineton. D. C. My dear Senator: All the friends with
whom I have conversed are very much grieved to see
that you have joined in with Lodge, Johnson, Borah, Poin
uexter and that bunch of "willful men" who have done
what they could and all they could to weaken the influence
of the nresident. embarrass his administration and bring
nhlonuv confusion and defeat to the democratic party.
The Confederate Veterans at their annual reunion held
in Atlanta, many camps in Florida, the United Daughters
of tihe Confederacy .recently held in Tampa, the American
Lee-ion. the Florida State Press Association and any num.
ber of church association; and any number of church or
ganizations, have all passed resolutions urging the ratifi
cation of the treaty of peace and league of nations cove
nnt, and no organization of any charcter im this state that
I know anything about has adopted adverse resolutions.
The democracy of Florida as expressed by these sev
eral organizations is standing beside the president ana 1
do not know when I was more appalled than to see your
r.ame linked with Reed, Gore, Shields, Hoke Smith and
Walsh that bunch of recalcitrant democrats who have
been giving aid, comfort, good cheer and fellowship to its

"Very truly,
FRANK HARRIS.
NO COMPROMISE, SAYS LODGE
Senator Lodge says that there is no possibility of a
further compromise on the Peace Treaty. He intimates
that the peace treaty will be carried to the people. While
we cannot understand how Mr. Lodge proposes to do this
as a specific issue, we do know that whether Mr. Lodge,
tr any other malcontent, wishes it or not, tlie people, of
this nation will express themselves on this question at
the first opportunity afforded at the polls.
Any man who says there is no possibility of a com
promise, no matter what the proposition is, sets himself

men.
No compromise is equivalent to rail or ruin.
after the hanging. The attorney re
ferred the proposition to Mrs. La
para, saying this money would be
long to her.
While hler two little daughters
clung to her skirts, Mrs. Lapara today
renounced any intention to accept the
offer.
"If I took the money, it would only
bring me unhappiness," she said.
"Every dollar would remind me of
my husband's death on the gallows.
My husband was a good man. He was
not guilty of murder. He was a good
husband, and I will die at my work
before I will profit by his death."
Efforts are being made to procure
a pardon for Lapara. His friends de
clared he has never been positively
identified as the murderer in an al
leged blackhand feud.

POWER OF THE BOYCOTT.
"Economic boycott" was one of the forces proposed in
the Lcairue of Nations to back up the mandates of its su
nreme council. It is a great and an almost absolutely
compelling foice, and that to which it is applied must al
most necessarily succumb.
Hn mitunnirs is a srience now taught in our
schools and if we add boycott to it we sure have the pro
fteer worsted. By the home economics boycott we have
tw. viilturp with liis back airainst a stone wall. Here
is good news from the front:
If one meat market in Chicago, selling porterhouse
eteak Tor IS cents a pound, made a profit of $547 on one
day's sales, a is reported, how much do a thousand meat
markets make in u yer selling the same for 50 cents a
pound? Correct answers to this will be rewarded with

"Only ugly dresses are indecent," says a leading ac

theory that handsome is who handsome gowns.
ECONOMY
GROCER
It seems pretty certain that Mrs. Astor has won a
seat in the British Parliament. We can at least rest
assured that she has a vocal lead.
Zara succeeds Fiume as a center of Italian culture en
tirely surrounded by Slavs. Captain d'Annunzio is an
adept in spotlighting trouble.
At least, judging from reports brought back, every
body up north is talking of Florida whether they are able
to come here or not. 1
The Omaha grand jury which investigated recent ri
oting there lay the blame at the door of those who criti
cised the public officials. This naive confession evidently
is pleasing to but one set of men.
Garfield says the public must and will have coal. All
right, Mr. Garfield, let 'em have it, but if in the final an
plysis you find you will have to revise your remarks, ad

Following the failure of the treaty in the Senate and
the consequent isolation of the United States, the heads
of the army and navy have asked for enormous increases.
What a terrible cost we must pay for political expediency.
Palatka merchants who have been able to secure any
sugar have certainly been very fair wtith their customers,
selling it retail at ten cents a pound while we see that
in the larger cities some of the profiteering grocers are
asking twenty cents a pound.

M) MORE CARNIVALS FOR SAVANNAH.
Referring to Savannah's experience with carnivals
The Morning News of that city says it believes it ex
j.resses the sentiment of nine-tenths of the people of Sa
vannah when it says th;it carnivals "do Savannah no good,
even though they are brought here to aid good causes.
There has been enough evidence to prove that a good
cause in need of money can get it in Savannah without
the need of such practices as carnivals almost invariably
follow. There can be do doubt that many men who are
permitted to ganib'e at carnivals to their hearts' content
will find it difficult to understand why they cannot do a
little gambling the day after the carnival leaves.
"Furthermore these '.-hows' always take a very great

I O CE LOVED FOR THE ENEMIES HE HAS MADE.
Some men ought to feel honored for the enemies they
make.
President Wilson is one who ought to feel so honored.
One of his most implacable enemies is Victor L. Bei
er, recently driven from his seat in congress with only
one dissenting vote.
It was not the government of the United States to
which he admitted he was disloyal While the was was in
l.rogre.ss, but in the way in which it was administered by
Woodrow Wilson,
The following is one of the ways in which Bergcr ex
pressed his disloyalty:
"Women soliciting for such a purpose that is, en
couraging young men to enlist are only a step higher
than women who solicit for the sale of their bodies."
This slander upon the noble womanhood of America
was properly and promptly rebuked by driving Berge
nom his seat in the house of representatives to which lie
nad been elected by the enemies of our government.
But nothing is done to Penrose who is equally disloy
al to the executive of the nation. See comments else
where. He ought to be bound, gagged and also driven forth
o consort with Berger ami his kind. Ocala Banner.
