GUAR letter asking for proxies because
Miss Barton was DESTROYS OF having

with this request The intent of these
letters was. therefore. to procure proxies
by telling Of the purpose for which they
we're wanted and that the changes in
tended were slight. The changes that
were made at the meeting in question
were not slight but radical and revoIu-

who did not send their proxies.
IN the face OF their denial. We do not

No Attack on Miss Barton.
Our honest efforts in this direction
have been met by the charge that we
were attacking Miss Barton. This we
deny. No instance can be shown in
which any Of US has offended in that di-
rection. and we submit that if every
effort 10 improve business methods in
the American National Red Cross is to
be successfully resisted by the mere al
legation, that such effort constitutes
personal attack on the president of the
Red Cross. then there is little hope that
any Improvement in conditions can be
secured, even though such Improvement
may be ever so desirable.
The only offense specified against US IS

FLoR1DA's HOTEL POPULATION.
Philosophically Considered From the
Local Point of View.

One of the least populous among the
older states of the American Onlons
Florida presents a problem of govern
ment almost unique in that 1t contains
within itself a population important by
comparison with her own that is still
not of herself and is much alien In
training, thought and habits of life.
The man whose interests and feelings
bind him to our soil sees the English
man pass who traces his ancestry to
the Norman conquest, and who rules
his partimonial acres by right of a
deed from the sword hand dead oVO
years ago; the French noble passes him
the time of day, and German may
give him personal recollections of the
iron chancellor. The broker from Walt
street, whom popuiists have taught
him to look upon as natural enemy,
may chuck his baby under the chin.
and the republican leader in the Sem
ate, who has helped to give him an APP
propriation for a neighboring harbor,
may fish with him all day. These pass
and repass as the seasons come and go,
but we need not look upon them as
mere strangers, because each is neces-
sary to the other.
The Floridian gives to these great
communities within our own the safety
and confidence of assured law and or
der; from these visitors we may learn
the cosmopolitanism that to others can
only come as the best fruit of long ira
vel, and they are, or should be, the
embodiment of a market brought to
our own doors-a blessing for which
the nation has gone to the Philippines,
and will again, perhaps, send its army
to invade Asia.
There was a time when we were
taught the hotels took nothing from
us and left nothing with us-which
condition, when true. was our fault
and our loss. Usually the capital in
vested in them is not Floridian at first,
because we had it not-neither the men
nor the money needed.
