Apalachicola is the latest Florida city to adopt the commission form of governrment, the citizens voting for it by a large majority in the election last Tuesday. It will be necessary to have the next legisla- ture approve the charter before the new method can be put into opera. tion. Say what you please against the commission form of government, but it is coming more and more into popularity as its operations are stodied. It is not perfect and is open to criticism in some respects, but its defects can be remedied and it is a decided improvement over the old system which made the com munity the victim of petty ward politics and politicians, opened doorg to grafting closed under the commission system and made alder- manic ward government in many cities a source of constant corrup - tion and scandal. The commission form of government has come to stay because it ig a long step in the ; direction of simplified methods, hon- esty and efficiency. PSS S Mr. E. W. Barber, of Crooked Lake, in this county, writing back to his home paper, the Jackson (Mich.) Patriot, summons a valu- able witnesg as to the superior mer- its of our summer climate, a point on which many of our uninformed visitors are incredulous, some of| them even thinking that it is a kind of inferno in South Florida during the warm months. In the letter referred to Mr. Barber says: “Florida with its genial climate— Mrs. Jason E. Hunt, who has been here two full years, says she likes the summers better than the win- ters—would be better advertised, end draw thousands of visitors and tourists where it does hundreds now, if it had a system of excellent roadg extending down the wonderful peninsula, so that the motorist would not get stuck in the deep sand. Already we have had a swift ride in a Ford car over some of the smoothest and most durable stretch- es of good roads we have ever seen, and when the like of which are ex- tended in continuous lines over long distances, they will insure a greater umber of tourists and visitors than can be obtained in any other way.” —_— s ANOTHER WAY TO HELP THE GRAPEFRUIT MARKET Here is a good practical suggestion from Miami as to how the sale of grapefruit can be increased in Flor. fda. It takes the problem right home to our hotel and restaurant people and shows how they can help in its solution. The Miami Metrop. by Dr. olis says: “Sell four times as much at half the price,” is the advice being given the restaurant keepers of Miami to- .day by the Dade County Fruit Grow - ers and Truckers' Assoclation with regard to the grapefruit, which in most eating places has been sold this year at from 10 b 20 Jentd Iper half fruit. "The same fruit can be secured at any store for fifteen cents per dozen, the growers point out. “If three or four times as much fruit can be sold at half the price, then, the growers say, the restaur- ant and hote] men will make just as much more, while the growers will be able to sell to them double or triple the amount they are now dis. posing of in this way. This, it is claimed, will mean much to Dade county growers this year when the northern markets are bad. “Mnny, restaurant and hotel keep - ers have already agreed to join in the movement to help out the grow. ers, and incidentally to enthuse vis- ftors with the incomparable quality of the fruit raised in this section. ‘The result of this will be, it is point- ed out, that when they return north they will purchase more grapefruit than before,( and insist on Dade county fruit whenever they can se. cure it, thus widening the market for grapefruit in general and Dade county fruit in particular.” SRS S During the two years of Woodrow ‘Wilson’s administration, the Demo. eratie partv has enacted mare hie, wseful "corstructive legislation than the ‘Republican party did in the thirty years previous; and now that it proposes to crown its wark bv giving‘the American neonle through the "skip purchase bill a merchant marine that will make this country comparatively independent of for- elgn shipping, we don’t~ the blicans, who bm even attempt anything of this kind, should from motives of pure: party jealousy seek to defeat the passage of the measure. But we @b wonder that any democratic” senator ean be capgnt in such com- pany. ! We all know that California is the East the merits of her citrus fruits, and many leading publica~' tions carry seductive reading mat.| ter as well as illustrated and dis- play advertising to encourage the' ol Cllllornll OM%Q To read stuft oné wouly jndvercyanpgtt thqt Florida ever produced an or- ange or a grapefruit or that Florida even existed; and that is all right, too, for it is not the business of Cal- ifornia to be. advertising:a rival, but “lit is the business of that rival to advertise herselt and to get every pointer from her enemy on the sub- ject that she can. Out in California they realize the value’ of perfect co operation and they do everything through the Fruit Growers’ Ex. change, and . that ‘organization is pushing the sale of ita Sunkist or- ange through such reading matter in scores of leading newspapers as the following: “Since 1896, when the California| Fruit Growerg Exchange wa s or- ganized, the citrus industry has been developed from a hazardous undertaking to a profitable enter- prise. During the past decade, while the population of the United States increased 21 per cent, the consumption of Californta oranges increased 74.6 per cent. The aim of the Exchange shippers is to make the name Sunkist a guarantee to the purchaser of the quality of the fruit. In other words, by careful grading and selection they aim to maintain such a high standard that !the name Sunkist on citrus fruits lwlll convey the assurance of the tterm Sterling on silver.” P S : Dr. Anna Shaw, the foremost | leader of the equal suffrage move. ment in this country, is now in Flor- ida, after a speech—-making tour through several Southern States, and in the Orlando Reporter-Star she sums up her Southern work and the prospect for woman suffrage in thig section. in this way: “I came here from New York, stopping inNorth Carolina, nqd in Alabama, apd I have never spoken before more enthusiastic audiénces. In North Carolina I talked before the meeting of the legislature, which was exceedingly interesting and well attended. Then I went to Alabama, where 1 addressed seven meetings and spoke before the legislature— here the Senate adjourned and came to the House, and again great inter- est and enthusiasm were manifested. At Montgomery three hundred peo- ple who failed to obtain seats stood during my entire address, and five hundred were turned away, At Tus= caloosa, I addressed a gathering of students at the State University, and those who could not get into the hall climbed up into the scen- ery stage, and. were perched there while I talked, at the close giving me their college yell. A large crowd greeted me at Mobile, and at a stop made between Montgomery and Mobile I spoke from the plat. form of the train to numbers of peo- ple who had awaited its arrival. Everywhere enthusiasm wag shown, and the South has taken hold of the movement as never before." ——C et ORLANDO HEARS THE GREAT EST WOMAN SUFFRAGIST Orlando, Feb. 11.—Yesterday's big event at the fair was an address Anna Howard Shaw, for thirty-five years a worker for equal suffrage and for some time president of the national suffrage organiza - tion. Out of courtesy to the speak- er, all noises of the carnival were stopped for one hour while a large audience, many of whom stood by reason of lack of seats, for the crowd was held spellbound by the elo- quence and forceful arguments of this world-famous woman. She made an especial point of the fact that this country would never be a republic as long as the right of bal- lot wasdenied half of its citizens and that such a condition could only be called an aristocracy of sex and a far cry from republicanism. She was also emphatic in her opinion that there would be no more wars if women were given the ballot, as they were always the greatest suf- ferers by war. NATION-WIDE SEARCH FOR MISSING PARENTS Jacksonville, Feb. 13.—The local lpollce department, upon a request from New York authorities, have joined in a nation.wide search for the whereabouts of the parents of little four-year-old Austin Mec- Cleary, found asleep on the doorstep of a cathedral in New York several weeks ago ahd who has been cared for by the police of that city until some trace of relatrves can be locat ed. All efforts to locate the par- ents of the deserted boy have proved fruitless in New York and Phila- delphia, which the toy claims ag his home, the child is from some other section of the United States and has been the victim of kidnanping, which he was abandoned.
