Harry Drown will be there, of course, and we trust there will be pieity of others with him to inaugu-! rate reform in a very much neglect- ed part of the printing Lusiness. ! There will Le no general divigion of sentiment in tiis country as to the merits of the new woman movement started in New York, in whkich 700, 000 women in tle various States wili take part, to reduce the price of ezgs from 45 cents per dozen to a more reasonable price. Woman movements like that will have the enthusiastic suport of the whole male population barrinz the egg dealers. 0 Florida must look mighty good to those jeople up North just now, froz- en by the terrible blizzard and over- whelmed by such a tremendous mass of snow that all transportation is stoped, wires down, clectric li,x:htsi out and no delivery in the cities for | the necessaries of life. That's the way it was in the biz city of Cleve-) 1 . Olio, as told by our dismm-hosi yoitovday., The obvious moral s, Coumie to Florida.

From a northern paper we take the following, showing how the States stand, remarkine in the same conncetion that the increase in Flor-| ida has probably been greater sin(‘e: the census of 1910 was taken than| for the same number of years prior| to that date: ; “The biz white States nearly sur- rornd I1'inois, and include Indiana, fowa, Missonri, Kentucky and Ten- nessee, and but for the larce 2rowth of Chicaco 1llinois would be in the| same list, Jowa, the Dbest a"rlcul-i tnrel State, is the only one that | shows an actval less in the total | ¢ t {nmber of its peonle in 1910 as com- ! peved with 1900, Misconri =ained mly 6 per cent, Indiana 7.3 per (':‘nt,f Fentucky 6.6 per cent, and Tennes-! cee 8.1 per cent. Wigeonsin report- | ed an increase of 12.8 per cent, while! for the entire United States the in- crease averaged 2! per cent. In the intecen great central States, inelud- ine Michican, of which Chicazo is the commercial metropolis and to which 2ll are more or less contribu- tory, the increase of population dur- in: the ten years avera~ed only 12.7 ver cent, a little more than half the ‘ieure for the whole United States. he six New Encland States, al- thoueh three of them were at a standstill, show a gain of 17.50 per cent, and the States immediately tributary to New York city and Phil- adelnhia run up to 25 per cent. Next to this larzest averace gain in pon- ulation, excluding Oklahoma, of any nortion of the Union, was in the Gulf States, Florida showing an increase | of 42.4 per cent in the decade, orli more than double that for the entire United States.” We have never anywhere seen a and impresgive ad vertisement of a county and its re- 5 than the booklet recently by the Board of Trade at Ocala deseriptive of Marion county and its inducements as a good place to live in.

By appointment?” asked Mr. Wilson “No,” said the Legislator, “we thought that should | be left to the people.” i “You mean that they ought to be elected?” “Yes.” “Were you elected by the people?” asked Wilson dryly. At this the office holder colored a little and sald, “Professor, I see you | know something about politics.” The future President then began to earn the compliment by showing how much he really did know. Said he, “I can name the gentleman who elected | you; his name is known to everybody in the State; he lives in —— county, | but it is not necessary that I should name him. You were elected by him and not by the people of your district. And it is interesting to know why that is true. You were elected on a ticket that contained, at a guess, one hundred and twenty-five names, Now, there is no community in this country that can gelect for itself one hundred and twenty-five persons to be voted for. It is too elaborate a job; it cannot be done in that way. It can select three or four persons, but outside of that number I doubt if it can select any.” That is the gist of Woodrow Wilson's criticism of American politics, the politics which he taught for twenty-five years, and to which, as the political | head of this country he will address himself for the next four years, ? Expressed in a more positive way, his remedy for our political flls is literally simplicity itself. It was four years ago that he said in one of his first “political” addresses:— “Simplification! Simplification! Simplification is the task that awaits us; to reduce the number of persons voted for to the absolute workable minimum, knowing whom you have selected; knowing whor you have trusted, and hav- ing so few persons to watch that you can watch them. That is the way we are going to get popular control back in this country, and that is the only way we are going to get political control back. Put in other elected officers to watch those that you have already elected, and you will merely remove your control one step further away. Elaborate your government; place every officer upon his own dear little statute, make it necessary for him to be voted for, and you will not have democratic government.” | It was the same principle of simplification he had in mind last spring when he announced his intention to use the President's room in the Capitol. For, as he says, “We must particularly get rid of this idea that the several el ot Ll on which Woodrow a New Jersey legisla | i i Woodrow Wilson parts of government must be shy of each other, The people cannot watch [ a threering circus.”—That is another of his aphorisms, . And when all this is summed up and boilcd down we have the Short Ballot, ' which means that when the procest is comnleted the people will have an in- strument of so few parts that it will require no professional mechanic to operate it. The expert politiclan who has been indispensable in the past, and whom we have spurned as the “boss,” will find himself without an oc- cupation. He will not be needed because the voters will really elect their representatives instead of just fondly believing they did. The remaining articles will tell how this principle is already being worked out In our citics, counties and States. Had Perfected Embalmin:.
