By Neglecting His Duties, He Com Compels
pels Compels School Patrons to Buy for
This Year Two Sets of Books
(Lakeland Telegram)
After one month of the school term
has been completed in Lakeland, and
after the lapse of various periods,
from two to four weeks in different
communities of the state, the gov governor
ernor governor has finally-issued his proclama proclamation
tion proclamation announcing that contracts have
Leen entered into for the furnishing f
of text books. It required this procla proclamation
mation proclamation to complete the adoption of
the text books, and because it was
delayed the books are not even yet
available. The state school authori
ties gave permission to begin the
term with the books used last term,
and the people in many instances
bought these books. Now they will
be compelled to buy the new outfit,
being forced to buy two sets of books
or one term.
It is a most deplorable instance of
official inefficiency and neglect, which
affects all the children of the state,
and which has placed a burden of un unnecessary
necessary unnecessary expense upon the people.-
A prominent educator of the state
furnishes us with the following facts
in the case, which will show where
the responsibility belongs:
lne sub-scnool book commission,
composed of the leading teachers of
the state of Florida, met in compli
ance with instructions from the state
board, composed of Governor Catts
and others, on June 16, 1919, and be
gan examining books on June 17, 1919.
On Thursday, July 10. 1919, the
sub-commission filed its recommenda
tions of text books to be used in the
state of Florida with the state board
of education.
The representatives of different
book companies began i presenting the
merits of their books before the state
board of education, composed of Gov Governor
ernor Governor Catts and his cabinet. Governor
Catts was present the first afternoon
ouring tne time tne representatimes
were presenting their books. Next
morning, he left for the phosphate
legions, to stir up more trouble, in instead
stead instead of attending to his duty in
Tallahassee, which finally affected
the children of Florida. He was never
present again during the presentation
of the merits of the books, which
meant so much to the schools of Flor
ida. ft was his duty to listen to these
book men with all diligence.
On his return to Tallahassee from
the phosphate regions, instead of
taking his place as the chairman of
the state board, he ieft immediately
for a ten or fifteen days vacation in
North Carolina.
The board, without the governor,
continued to hear the book men until
they had finished, on July 19, 1919.
The board refused to go on with the
adoption of the books without the
governor. It was the consensus of
opinion of the other members of the
board that the governor should be

Florida has not shown up very well
n its objection to a leper colony be-
ng located in the state. Its objections
seem founded mostly on cowardice
and selfishness. There have been
times when tens of thousands of Flor
ida people, fleeing from yellow fever,
have fled to other states, at a time
when it was the popular impression
that Yellow Jack smote any person
who even looked at him, yet they al
ways found refuge and often charity
in other states. Another objection is
entirely foolish and purely mercen
ary that a little bunch of lepers on
a few acres of our sixty thousand
square miles might keep tourists out
of the state. If it wasn't for the howl
that has gone up from Floridians, not
one person in ten thousand would
know a leper colony in Florida had
ever been proposed, and that small
number would never have thought of
it again. Leprosy is a disease not
easy to communicate, as is proven by
its comparatively small extent, al
though only of late years has it been
combatted in a scientific manner. It
is caused by a germ which is as like likely
ly likely to atteck a person who has never
been in a thousand miles of a leper as
cne who is in daily contact with the
disease. Leprosy is a filth disease and
was once scattered all over Europe
and Asia, but with better and cleaner
living has almost disappeared from
the former continent. In America,
there has been little of it. All civiliz
ed nations owning colonies in Asia
and, Africa are trying to eradicate
leprosy, and have greatly reduced it.
Wherever they establish -colonies to
isolate those afflicted with leprosy,
they also station physicians and
nurses, and it is seldom that any of
these are ever infected with the dis disease.

The iconoclasts are smashing up
lots of our war legends. One is that
the Germans after the battle .of Bel Bel-loau
loau Bel-loau Wood called our marines "devil
dogs." It now comes to light that this
was invented by an American corresr
po;idenfc and the Germans never heard
of it until the war was over. Those
correspondents were a cheerful lot of
liars. They were decidedly at dis
count at the front, but much may be
fcrgiven them, for they kept up the
hearts of the people at home.

railroad men don't happen to go on a

For a long time, the American peo people
ple people could not understand why the
United States did not declare war on
Bulgaria, but from Ludendorf's book,
r.ow running in serial chapters in
some American papers, it is made to
appear that America had a string tied
to Bulgaria, and with our country's
entrance into the war that string be
gan to pull, and eventually pulled Bui
geria out, which was as great a defeat
tc the Central Powers as any they
suffered in any two great battles dur
ing the war.
A few days ago, the Star made
some remarks about the appointment
of Rear Admiral Robert E. Coontz to
the post of chief of naval operations.
Ihe Star finds its opinion corroborat
ed by an editorial in the New York
Times, which thinks that Admiral
Sims or Admiral Mayo, both of who
outrank Coontz, and made brilliant
records during the war, should have
the post. The Times advises the
Senate to go slow about confirming
the appointment.

Aboard President Wilson's Special
Train. It was the president's com
plete utter devotion to the great cause
lie was advocating the instruction of
the American people as to the merits
of the league of nations, that resulted
in the illness that caused the sudden
termination in Wichita. Kansas, of his
3peaking tour. For. more than three
weeks, with but occasional days of re relaxation,
laxation, relaxation, he had been giving the ulti ultimate
mate ultimate ounce of his physical strength
and the last atom of his mentality
to the task of laying before his fellow-countrymen
his explanation of
what the league is and what it means
to the future of the world.
He Won The Hearts Of The Folks
And everywhere he talked he won
the hearts and the allegiance of his
hearers. After the people aad listen
ed to his expounding of the league the
objections to it which had been raised
by his opponents seemed trivial. The
people saw the thing as It really is.
They coulj not help but do so, after
his brilliant answers to all the criti criticisms
cisms criticisms made by those senators who are
against the pact. But, in accomplish accomplishing
ing accomplishing his task, Mr. Wilson overstrained
himself. j
Had Been III Several Days
For several days before the abaxt- j
donment of the tour, those traveling
with him noticed sign of nervousness
about him; but it was only the insist insistence
ence insistence of Dr. Grayson, 'his physician,
which caused him to give up his work.
He wanted to speak in Wichita, where
a splendid crowd waited him in a city
that was beautifully decorated In his
honor, but Dr. Grayson would not per permit
mit permit this, aad Insisted upon Mr. Wil Wilson's
son's Wilson's Immediate return to Washington.
These close to the president assured
htm, and he himself believed, that he
has won his case anyhow, and that
the few remaining speeches conld not
have added greatly to the effect he
had already produced throughout the
country.
Wanted To Discuss Shantung
The president had intended at Wi Wichita
chita Wichita to explain further the Ba an tang
matter; how it was Qermasy, and not
China, from whom the' peninsula was
taken by Japan, and that only through
the league of nations could the pos possession
session possession be returned to China, its real
and original owner, lir. Wilson's last
speech at Pueblo, Colo. was one of
the most powerful he delivered during
his tour. lie had intended, as he
neared the conclusion at the trip, to
speak more aad more strongly about
those who opposed the league, and he
voiced some strong opinions in the
Colorado city.
