She is the first city in Florida to take steps to “try out” the big modern idea of a business manager for the city. Such a manager will be advertised for and if the right man applies for the job he will get it. But it goes without saying that it will take a man of sound—pure, obvious common sense, We have managers for| all of| our great business and industrial corpor- ations—they couldn't be operated without them, and the application of ; the idea to the city corporation is en- tirely reasonable.

PR SR THOSE TERRIBLE VESTED INTERESTS The Zolfo Springs Truth says: “The vested interests know that if John Stockton were placed in a position of power they could no longer Shylock-like extract the last no vested interests, and we suspect’ that you would too. It is only by, virtue of vested interests that we can be protécted in our right to our homes, our farms and all other forms of property we may acquire. The, only people we know of who are op-, posed to vested interests are the sn- archists and perhaps some types of socialists. Nor had we heard before that this monster called ‘“vested interests” was attempting ‘“Shylock- like to extract the last pound of flesh” from anybody; and even if it were engaged in such a ecruel and, unconstitutional proceeding we don't see how John Stockton as United States senator could sally forth and stop it ‘““all by his lonely” as your language clearly intimates. ! Why not put the case of your, friend Stockton on a plain, rationalj basis of fact, Brother Adams? IHe wants Senator Fletcher’s job because he wants the distinction of being) United States semator, and, strippvd! of all verbiage about “friend of the! people,” ete., that is about all there| is to it. Senator Fletcher is just as more than Stockton has ever done to prove it. We have not thus far seen one valid reason why Senator Fletcher should not be elected, and a little bird in whose reliability we have the utmost confidence has whispered in our ear that Woodrow Wilson, prosi-‘ dent of the United States, leader of | the Democratic party and chief of ! progressives, would very much pre fer to see Duncan U, Fletcher, tried digcovered .~I| p.\nn- nt ; rent will secure | I'()l' SALE—A sn .\ll (& and balance like tiling and plastering.
