The State Capital.

The Kissimmee Valley-Gazette
puts the capital question very
plainly as follows:
Last year Tallahassee tried to
get $50, 900 to repair the old Capt.
toll. Ifshe should win in the pri-
mary, what do you suppose she
would ask for? Do you think she
would be content with $4,000 ?
With the Democratic party behind
her, and the legislature instructed
by the platform to carry out the re-
suit of the primary, do you sup
pose for one moment she would be
satisfied with her first demand {?
Isn't it reasonable to believe that
she would seize the opportunity TO
double the sum, and settle the
capital issue for a generation by
demanding 100000?
Now, which would you rather
do? Pay your share of taxes to
repair an old building for 500, 900?
Or pay twice or three times as
much to build a new capitol at
Jacksonville? You will have to
pay out lot of money either way.
A splendid building large enough
to accommodate theneeds ofgovern-
ment can be built for S250,O0O.
Isn't it more economical and bet
ter business to pay little more for
a suitable building in a convenient,
accessible place than to pay out a
lot of money to patch up an anti
quated building in an inconveni-
ent, inaccessible place? That is
the question in a nutshell.

DIR. w II. Lewis. Lawrenceyille, Va,
writes: ''I am using Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure in my practice among severe Eases
of Indigestion and find it an admirable
remedy" Many hundreds of physicians
depend upon the use of Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure in stomach troubles. 1t digests what
you eat and allows YOU to eat all the good
food You need, providing you do not ov-
erload your stomach, gives instant relief
and permanent cure, Wilson & Son.

THE Florida State Press associa-

courtesies of their respective lines

to be one of the pleasantest the

PoLITICs should be forgotten in
the present strike between the
mine workers and the coal trust,
and every. influence ought to be
brought to bear favoring fair arbi-
tration. Anyone opposing arbi-
tration is false to the people of this
country. The demands of the
mine workers are just and right,
and they have been made in a re-
spectful way. They have dis
played their patient courage and
selfrestraint, which should appeal
to the owners of the mines, and
the former deserve to be treated
fairly and justly. The principle
of arbitration is one of the most
noble developments of modern
civilization, and no man can re-
iect it in an industrial or CONNER
cial way without inviting criticism
and condemnation of his cause.

WILL anyone advance one good
reason why the voters of Brevard
should not be in favor of Jackson
vile for the state capital? There
may be reasons why some counties
should vote for Tallahassee, but
aside from those it seems to us
that all others should favor the
only city that can win against
Tallahassee, which is Jacksonville.
Consider this matter fairly now,
for if you should insist on voting
for any place but Jacksonville you
would aid in the movement to
spend enough money on improv-
ing the old capital building to al
most build a new one and retain
the capital in a remote part of the
state for many years to come. Re
member that if Tallahassee wins,
she will be in for the expenditure
of a large sum of money either To
repair the present capital or build
a new one in its stead. Don't vote
against your interests and find
fault with such action after it is
too late. The 9th day of NOvem-
Der decides the matter, one way or
another, for many years To come.
