In the last issue of the Tallahas-
seean we find the following para
graph:
"lf all that is written about those
counties be correct, the strife stirred
up in Brevard, Volusia, Wakulla
and two or three Others is So much
greater than that which the present
campaign has engendered in Leon
that we feel like congratulating our
people upon their good judgment
and amiable disposition. 1t is true,
nevertheless, that in all commun-
tiles, in all counties, in all states
and in all countries there are IL few
men who do not think they are
having ii real, live campaign un-
less neighbours being turned against
neighbor, and brother against
brother. This Is rcgretablr. To- say
the least How much better olTthe
world would be, if We could elimi-
nate the trouble making class from
politics and calmly and quietly
discuss our views until voting time
and then go 10 the polls 10 vote our
convictions upon the same friendly
terms that have characterized all
our other actions for years past.
This can he done by taking INTO
consideration first, the needs OF
the times; and, second, the men
more capable of doing that which
Is most needed To br done. Let il
once bc known that YOU will make
this the paramount issue in arriv-
ing at your conclusions and the
fellows who thrive upon stirring up
personal feelings will forever give
you a wide berth during cam
paigns.'
The word, of advice of Brother
Trice are very good, but we wish to
state that he is miSinfurmcd a. to

ticle is not applicable to this coum-
ty. lie probably should have in

not it is certain that Mr.. Carnegie
has taken steps to compete with
the American Steel and Wire COM
pany, which is regarded as one of
the most oppressive trusts in the
country. 1t controls the prices of
nails and wire, and for these arti-
cles it charged for many months
almost extortiOnate prices. Recent
ly the prices were reduced some
what, owing, it is said, to a falling
off in the demand. A dispatch
from Worcester, Mass, says .that
MIR. Carnegie has just been. there
and ordered machinery for an i'm
mense plant for making steel rods
1t seems that the independent
mills which make nails and wire
have been depending on the Amer
lean Steel and Wire company for
rods, and that concern has dictated
the prices at which they should sell
their products. 1t has, therefore,
actually controlled the market for
nails and wire. When Mr.. Carne-
gle gets his mill in operation the
American Steel and Wire company
will not be able to control the mar
ket, and it will then appear prob
ably that it cannot pay big divi-
dends on its immense capitaliza-
tiOn. In that event its stockhold-
ers will find that trusts are danger
Gus to those who invest their money
in them.
Mr.. Carnegie sees a fine opening
for business, and he will make
steel rods, not for the purpose of
fighting trust, but To make money,
and when he gets ut it the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire company will
meet with formidable competitor.
At the same time il is not at all
improbable that Mr.. Carnegie will
try to get just as high prices for his
products as he possibly can and
secure the business, but in order to
do that the price must first be low
cred. While the Carnegie Steel
and Iron company is one of the
greatest money-making institutions
in this country, it does not follow
for that reason that there is nothing
in his theory that Il monopoly can
not charge unreasonable prices for
any considerable length of time
without inviting strong competi-
ton.

THE sudden decision of the Beer
peace delegates to come to this
country is attributed to the fact
that the government of The Meth
erlands, after sounding all the Eu-
ropean capitals, told them they had
nothing to hope from Europe. This
is poor consolation for the brave
Beers, and it is very doubtful if
the United States can accomplish
much for them either.

The Trusts and Business.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie takes the
position that a trust which rohs the
people cannot last very long-that
if by means of monopoly it exacts
profits which are unreasonable it
will invite competitiOn-and that.
as a matter of fact, trusts are more
daSgerous to those who invest their
C"on than to the public.

ABOUT year ago it was stated
that the bite Ola mosquito was like
ly To inoculate the human system
with malaria, and the statement
was said 10 have the backing ul
some eminent members of the med
ical fraternity. Notwithstanding
the fact that plenty of people in
this and some other states are able
to say from varied practical eXpe-
riences that there Is nothing of il,
there are, perhaps, ii few skeptical
ones whose lack of practical demon
stration of the falsity of this theory
may be dissipated by what Engi-
neering News has said on the sub
ject. That journal asserts that the
theory has been too hastily adopt
ed. Like many new things in the
scientific world it is being heralded
as a discovery before its truth, or
the extent of It's truth, Is proved.
The evidence thus far presented
appears to show that some OF the
severe malarial fevers of some por-
tiOns of the tropics can be acquired
from the bite or sting of certain
varieties of the mosquito. The ev-
idence that these fevers can he ac-
quired in no other way, however,
is by no means complete; and even
if it were, there is still wanting evi-
dence that the malaria of temper
ate climates, which is apparently
due to different organism than
sthe malaria of the tropics, may not
be acquired by contact of the lungs
or almentary canal with air or wa
ter ISiping the malarial organ

TREE planting for an unusual
purpose has been recommended to
residents of the western irrigation
districts by w. l., Hall, assistant
superintendent of tree planting of
the division of forestry, who has
recently been in New Mexico on an
investigation. Agriculture in that
region depends largely on irriga-
ton, and the streams and reservoirs
are much depleted by evaporation,
due to the heat and dry winds. Mr..
Hall recommends that belts of trees
be planted along every ditch and
reservoir, not only To shade them,
but To shelter them from wind.
The problem of preventing evapor-
alton is very important, not only
on account of the loss of water, but
because the percentage of alkali in
the quantity remaining becomes
excessive.
