The change of a word makes a lot of difference. For instance, a woman never objects to being called a “kit- ten”’ but draws the line at “cat,” and now we note that Editors Wal- ton of the Reporter-Star and Harri- son of the Tampa Times are object- ing, anq rightly so, to being called “venerable.” ‘Versatile” ter and fits both gentlemen exactly. it sounds bet- St. Petersburg has trouble. It can't agree on who shall teach in its gas plant, and now complaint is made that once on their dock, that extends a mile out into the bay, an automo- bile has to go to the end before it is alloweq to turn around. That's going some, but why turn around? i i D The Orlando Reporter-Star will now take on a more roseate view of ' life——I2ditor Walton having left for Kentucky to bring back a bride, who is described as a “very lovely wom- an.

Tampa i§ to vote on a 25,000 bond issue for new schools on June 9. The issue will carry without a doubt, for, like Lakeland, Tampa is in the vanguard of progress and will put itself on the map by giving its fast-growing population ample schoo] facilities. With school prop- |4 erty valued at nearly $100,000, an enrollment of 1,400 pupils and 35 teachers, T.akelanq will be of the schoot map some herselr next year, , THE COUNTRY IS ; NOT GOING BACK —l An echo of the old anq discredited greenback fallacy was heard in the address of Mr. Stockton on Friday night, when he announced that he would, if sent to the senate of the United States, support” the Bathrick bill in preference to the proposed Fletcher bill, which latter has the |} support of the administration, Mr. Stockton to the contrary nothwith- standing, The Bathrick bill proposes that the government shall sell its bonds and loan the proceeds to farmers at a low rate of interest. The Fletcher I bill proposes that land banks shall be organized having large elements of co-operation which shall furnish funds at low rates to farmers. The first is a greenB®ack proposi- tion, the latter is framed, or will be when it shall have been whipped into the ghape desired by the admin- istration and the commission that investigated the foreign lang banks, along the lines of sound Democratic principles. Mr. Stockton bolstered up his ar- gl\mwn( in favor of loaning govern- |’ ment money by the Joans made to the Union Pacific railroad and to northwestern irriga- tion schemes. He dig not attempt to justify those measures, as he could not do, but he asked if these things can be done for one class, why can- not they be done for the farmers? Going farther he might well ask, if the government special loans to the farmers, why not to any who reference to can make other class of men may need money and have the security? The old greenbacker, the member of a party that forty years ago cast over three hundred thousang votes, believeq and taught that the gov ernment could iss the faith of the gover tribute purposes to all clagses other business men by t mocratic these notes accepted never party.

The illustration used by the speak- er when he referred to the Union Pacific subsidy ana the northwest- ern irrigation and development loans was not at all assuring, The coun- try now knows that the Union Pa- cific subsidy was wrong, that it would have never been entered into had there not been a political neces- sity for connecting the west coast with the east, and that it was more of a war than a commercial measure. It was ‘wrong ‘Anq beodube *ft twas [* wrong. 1t does not fumnish: the speak- er with a safe argument to induce the government to enter into anoth- er wrong economic proposition. Two make a right and three or more utterly discredit all. This country is seeking a sound- er basis in its currency anq financial laws and is not ready and never will be to go back to the wild inflation program of the greenback theorists. Miami Herald.
