Until you make up your mind that it Is neces sary to work like a miner In a cavein, your posi tion will probably prove your final resting place. seen the candidate and who knew him only by repu tation it was Indeed enlightening. , Of this the Has tings Herald says : . "Sidney J. Catts was not in Hastings as the gov ernor of Florida. He' was here merely as Sidney J. Catts, citizen of Florida and candidate for the of fice of United States senator. His being here was merely an incident; it had no bearing whatever on the duties of a state official nor on the welfare of the state. "The national guard company was drilling in the street in accordance with its established custom, and on its regular drill night. It was doing its, duty in attending drill and practicing the manual of arms. Under the circumstances it properly took precedence over stump speakers and soap box ranters of every description. But Sidney J. Catts, governor" of the state through regrettable and regretted errors of a majority of his fellow-citizens, ruled otherwise. He ordered the ttsfltional guard off the street; not rea sonably and with justice, but arbitrarily and with out cause, taking advantage of an opportunity to impress upon his audience the full power he imagines he possesses. "Did Catts do that because, tis he said, he resent ed lack of respect shown the governor? He did not. Catts didn't care a rap whether the office of gov ernor , received respect or insult. What bothered him was that there existed in the town of Hastings a body of men who would dare show the audacity to attend to their own affairs instead of rushing to listen with open-mouthed wonder and admiration to the edifying and admirable discourse being pre sented by Sidney the First, Rex. In ordering those men off the street as though they were mischievous schoolboys and in his foolish mouthlngs that he would "whip the whole lot If they returned." Catts offered a gratuitius insult to every national guardsman In the state of Florida and to every man who has ever worn the state or federal uniform in time of war. By that action he has thrown the true light on his attitude toward the soldier. "His proudest campaign boast is the tiresome re petition of what he says he did for the soldiers at Camp Wheeler, which Is undoubtedly greatly exag gerated and highly magnified. If he did anything at all for those soldiers, however, his latest action makes it evident that whatever was done, he did, not through respect for the soldiers themselves, but for the possible personal and political advantages It might bring him. "The men'liae insulted Monday night were not men who, like Catts himself, serve the state be cause of the personal prestige It brings, together with the opportunity to place the members ofJthe family in "fat, well-paying political jobs. They serve for a nominal "salary", of eight or ten dollars a month, for which they give in return several eve nings of hard, laborious work at drill. They serve through the patriotic desire to serve. As such, they deserve the respect of every citizen of the state, and doubly so the respect of the state's highest executive. "When that executive exhibits so unmistakably his true regard for the soldiers of his own state, he can throw no clearer light on what would be his at titude toward the soldiers of the nation should he succeed in worming his way to a senatorial toga. Many important army bills are to come before the senate during the next few years. Certainly jio man who has ever worn the uniform desires to see those bills passed on by a senator who has thus served notice that, in his regard, a soldier is no more than an ordinary street loafer, to be ordered at will to get off the street. There is no telling what class of tnen may back Catts inv his campaign, but after this exhibition, it will be Indeed amazing If there should be found among them any soldiers or ex soldiers who feel that they can vote for him and at the same time retain their own self-respect." "The Boys the Other Car By Grove Life Is a battle of the best brains, and of the most enthusiast io effort; and the man who half tries, you can readily see. is outclassed before he begins. buying for the day or. week in a few minutes, and one farmer can come to town and do the trading for half a dozen of his neighbors during busy seasons. The ladies of the community can have frequent chats with their friends and neighbors, even though living several miles distant. Again the telephone brings the farmer into direct touch with the out side world, so that he can keep up with the mar kets, the current events, the storm warnings and the thousand and one things that he now misses and which is tending to a large extent to drive the young men and women off the farms and into the towns. Such a system certainly could be built throughout the more-thickly settled portions of Santa Rosa county, and operated on a paving basis, the same as It is in many other sections of the country. This is generally done by the telephone company of some nearby city, while In many places where communities are too distant to reach a gen eral line, strictly rural lines reaching into the com munity's trading point . are" built by the farmers themselves. At any rate an extension of the tele phone system throughout the rapidly developing sections of Santa Rosa county would mean a great deal to tb,e prosperity of the entire community. Milton Gazette. .

The speech delivered by Senator Reed, of Missouri, in Tampa, did not differ from those he is delivering in other places in the state and in the South. Of this speech the Tampa Tribune says: "We have not' been a blind follower of the ad ministration, since the necessity for concerted na tional action ceased with the signing of the armis tice. We have seen much in Mr. Wilson's policy both regarding domestic and foreign affairs, to criti cise, and we have seen much in that policy that de mands the highest commendation. "With the peace treaty well shelved and the League of Nations covenant a thing for the uncer tian future, we do not see the necessity for the senator's tour of the country and his strenuous ef fort to discredit the administration and its leader on the eve of an election, which means much to his party and to the nation itself, if all signs can be read aright. r ' "Surely Senator Reed is not a candidate for the position I Or can it be he is the aide-de-camp of Mr. Bryany or some one else whose antipathy to the administration's head is such as to overbear all party decency? "We have turned down the candidacy of Mr. Hoover, a man who certainly accomplished great things for the country, because he declined to be either-fish, flesh or good red herring in the political packing house. We would not consider Mr. Taft, than whom the administration has had no fairer critic, or even defender, because he is not of our faith. Could we then consider Senator Reed? "Give us a man who is fair in all things, or even in most things. If it comes to a choice between Reed and Palmer, or Reed and anybody else, or Bryan and anybody else, we would support Palmer, or anybody else who had been a whole-hearted, or even a part-time defender and advocate of the ad ministration policy, before we would givrs aid to one of these who has been first, last and all the time against the administration and Its policy." THE GOOD OLD DAYS." Eggs are one dollar a dozen. It was different in the good old days, wasn't it? You could buy -a couple of laying hen for your dollar then. For ten dollars you culd buy half a cow and the butcher would throw in his tools and his apron. Commenting on this, the Dallas News says: "Good old days? Yes they were not. Those were the days when a dollar was worth a lot and a man was worth very little. K your appendix went on a strike the doctor called it inflammation of the bowels and they buried you. If your lungs were weak they started to pick out a location in a marble orchard for you. And if you were unfortunate enough to be host to a few billion typhoid germs they called the doctor, but he Svouldn't give you any water, and you were wafted to the realm of bliss with your tongue hang ing out. Women wore long skirt that dragged along the walks and collected germs, and made' the wearer resemble an upright piano. And if she wore a shorter skirt, which came within a few inches of the ground, and showed her ankles, and hinted that she was equipped with legs like other humans, she was frowned upon. If you craved amusement you got it at the "Young Men's Wednesday Night Club," when some old skin flint would talk you dizzy for two hours on "How to Be a Successful Man." CATTS POSING AS A DEMOCRAT. Replying to the Gainesville News which is sus pects of having a leaning toward Catts, the Panama City Pilot has this to say of the governor, an en ergetic candidate for senatorial honors: Catts was elected as the candidate of the prohi bition party of Florida. In national statistical pub lications he is recorded not as a democrat, but as a prohibitionist, and the successful candidate of that party as against the democratic nominee. The fact is that Catts is anything to win. At the old soldier colony here in Bay county he was as ardent a re publican as Wendell Phillips or William Lloyd Gar rison. Where socialism has gained a foothold, he is a socialist. If he can induce a Baptist church to let him make a political speech within its doors, he rants and prays and strives, like Jeroboam of old. for such action as would bring about further dis ruption of the state, the "downfall of the kingdom," and the worship of false gods. His slogan, "Sidney J. Catts, Sears Roebuck and Jesus Christ." is as blasphemous as it is disgusting. Does the News think tgese things moral? Does it think Catts dis proved statements, as shown by Secretary Glass' letter to Senator Fletcher, saying that the leper coloney would not be established in Florida at the senator's request, or Catts Camp Wheeler bun combe pertaining to conditions with which neither Catts or Fletcher had anything to do. are reput able? Does It think that Catts seeking out in every locality some, local matter that has possibly dis rupted and damaged the community, and denounc ing the party which he thinks the weakest or les liable to a.'d his political activities, regardless of the truth or facts, is moral or reputable? If so. tie News has tery que- views upon morality, probity, or hon". i i i in i i n .
