Every bill proposing municipal suffrage for the women of towns represented by the legisla tor who introduced the bill has been' passed by this session of the legislature, and the governor has promptly signed them. Orlando got such a measure through early in the session; Winter Park's measure followed shortly after, and the St. Petersburg bill is now to be introduced, while Miama's will soon be on the calendar, thanks to the sensible attitude taken in the matter by the city council Thursday night, says the Miami Me tropolis, That the women of Miami are as fully entitled to a voice in the city's afairs as are the men of Miami is fully recognized by every honest man and woman in the city. Some of the most help ful organizations in Miami were represented by the women who went before the city council with their request for the charter amendment and it will be found that these organizations and the individuals composing them, together with every other intelligent woman in Miami, will be im measurably more helpful in the city's upbuild ing and betterment, when they have a voice in the management of the city's business. The Metropolis hopes that Representative Wat son and Senator Hughlett will see that the char ter amendment is quickly provided and that . svery Miami woman interested in civic affairs will get her name on the registration lists. NATURE AND GOD. There is no doubt that mixing with men is a great experience in training for your life work, . but it is also important to know nature and books and God. ; ".. If you depend exclusively upon your knowl edge of men, you will unconsciously absorb much of their narrowness and prejudice, and thus look out upon life through the eyes of pessimism, and there will develop in you a certain worldly-wise attitude which will effectively shut out the sweet est and purest things in human life. But when you open your mind and heart and allow nature to speak to you, and read the con clusions and experiences of the world's best writ ers as found in worth-while books, and if, prin cipally, you are willing to permit God to rule and direct you, it doesn't matter what your job may be- you'll be bigger for it and it will be better for you. . Moses spent 40 years in the woods as a shep herd, so that he might quietly prepare his own heart and mind for the great task of delivering the. millions of Israelites from the bondage of Egypt. x David likewise spent many years of his life in solitude tending his father's flocks on the hill sides of Bethlehem, where he "communed" with nature, and with nature's God, and he became Hhe "sweet singer of Israel" the composed of the wonderful psalms which even today thrill the heart of the world. Paul, although splendidly educated in the uni versities of his day, went into solitude for three years, so that he might think things through, before he ventured to become a preacher, but this preparation helped him become the greatest missionary in sacred history. If governments can promote peace by insur ing France against invasion, surely they have power to promote peace by insuring workers against unemployment and hardship in their old age. ; - LEGISLATORS AND g LEGISLATION (BY JOHN C. TRICE.) ' Tallahassee,- May 24. Judge Joseph Bellr who formerly -was- county Judge of Marion county but is now a prac ticing attorney at Ft. Lauderdale, ,was among those who came to the capital on business this week. ' At the time Judge Bell ..presided over the county court of' Marlon county -by appoint ment of Governor Broward, he was the youngest judge, in the state. Judge Bell is a brother of Miss Jefferson Bell, -who for the past two sessions has been'one of the brightest newspaper representa tives at the capital. V THE OLD COMPLICATION. Everything is very simple. As Roger Dolan once said: "The only com plication is ourselves in .reducing things to the simple." Every problem has its solution. Every question has its answer. Every problem and every question has its so lution and answer within itself it is just a question of familiarizing ourselves with the problem. . - When a problem remains unsolved- why, it is that tfie facts and conditions are not known the problem has not been fully reduced to its simplicity.- . Our old friend and neighbor, the High and Increasing Cost of Living, is a great mystery to all of us. We used to blame the grocer; now we blame the food packer, who points to the farmer, who in turn is pointing back to. the city. We haven't found him, but we are on our way, and even though we do not know exactjy where we are going yet we will finally find him our old friend the H. C. of L. We will finally reduce the problem to the sim ple by knowing all the facts. . .. ' . . ' To illustrate that everything is very simple, we will consider one of the sciences mechanics a science understood by relatively few persons. Take one of the presses on which this news paper is printed and which is capable of turning out many thousands of papers each hour. It looks very complicated. But study it a little and any of us will see that it is a series of duplicate machines or units joined together like duplicate rooms or stories of a building,, and each capable of producing only a few thousands of copies per hour. Then study one of these single units and we will see that it is based on three very simple principles: The wheel, the lever and the wedge; that these, are the simple fundamentals of the whole science of mechanics this machine or any machine.

Senator Singletary said he had asked for a re port from the drainage offices as to whether or not this bill met with ths approval of .the I.

He was sorry Senator Hughlett insisted on bringing it up at this tima because he might be able to vote for it at a later date, but could not do so without more information as to its pro visions Senators Bradshow, Andrews Corporal Nat. "Walker, V, S. A., who has been visiting relatives in Talla hassee and Wakula county for the past thirty days, returned to his company at 'Pensacola last, night. Corpl. Walker- joined the colors long before his coun try entered the world war. . When he found his company was not going over he got. a transfer to the 61st Artillery, battery E, and saw-service over there for some time.

"Old Man Bill Sheats" will have to be reckoned with in the coming, prl mary, and. those rushing Into the race will have to do something besides an- unce, if they get the office." ,-ThIs statement was made to the newspaper a few days ago by the present incum bent, Hon. William N. Sheats. ' " Mr. Sheats has held the office for a long time, and is a most vigorous campaign er, hence no one will doubt the state ment. , - Senator Hughlett yesterday took up and passed by a vote of 24 to 3 the house bill by Mr. Marshall amending the act that created the Napoleon B.

View it first from its simple fundamental principles, and all its derivatvies and extensions are easily understood,; ; - v xind so it i? with, all our problems.' . Every problem has its solution, every ques tion its answer, but they are more quickly and easily arived at if the simple basic . underlying principles pre first sought rather than tracing them down through" a maze of extensions and derivatives. Th3 three leading furniture manufacturing ciites of the United States, in the order named, are Chicago, Grand Rapids and New York City.

I This stood for a great many years until Chris topher Columbus was blocked by, the American continent in his effort to sail around the world to India. - Then the negative "Ne" was chisled off and the inscription now stands 'Tlus Ultra or "More Beyond." ; v : Have you reached that stage in your life where you have inscribed on the columns of your brain "Ne Plus Ultra"? Do you feel that there is no more hope for you to succeed in your present or any future undertakings? If so, get out your chisel and hammer and cut off the "Ne." Chisel the "Plus Ultra" a little deeper, wider and longer. " -; Get underneath your skull the idea that there IS more beyond. If you do you'll find it. Just look what Columbus found by ignoring the "Ne." There-is a jolt coming for the manufacturer who believes that patriotism will lead good Americans to pay him double the price asked by Hun exporters for the same article. Government has issued a passport to Mrs. Gerry's dog. The precedent was established in 1914 when we issued passports to a lot of Wil helm's hounds. - ........ ""it may be that Wilson's point about freedom of the .seas was ditched by common consent be cause nobody could figure out what the darned thing meant. Empire appeals to the man who does the plan ning. It does not appeal to the humble home owner who must do the fighting to win and hold empire. Our own opinion is that the reason naturalized American citizens so seldom appreciate fhe hon or conferred on them is because it is so' easy to get. Note Congress may appropriate 500,000,000 for farms for service me and Singletary voted against the bill on final passage.

The message was returned to the house to correct the apparent incon sistency, and the matter never came up again today.
