A Prosy Poem.

A rustic youth, with laughing eye,
sat on a rail fence munching pie. A
iop-eared mule, with a paint-brush
tail, near by on clover did regale.
A humble bee came buzzing along.
and paused to sing the mule a song;
out the mule for music had no ear,
so his heels flew up in the atmosphere
and over the top of cherry tree
the boy scared on to eternity.

We have enacted a tariff law under
which during the past few years the
country has attained n height oC s-a-
terial well-being never before rersded.
Wages are higher than ,r~er before.
That whenever the need arises there
should be reimbursement of the tariff
schedules is snduubted; but such
changes can with safety be made only
by those whose devotion to the princi-
pie of protective tarif is beyond
question; for otherwise the changes
would not amount to reimbursement but
to repeal. The readjustment when
made must maintain and not destroy
the protective principle. To the farm
err, the merchant, the manufacturer this
is vital; but perhaps no other man is
so much interested as the wage work
err In the maintenance of our present
economic system, both as regards the
finances and the tariff. The standard
of living OF our wage workers is high
err than that of any other country, and
protective tariff which will always
keep as a minimum a rate OF duty suf-

who, like our opponents, "denounce

| tariff no heed would be paid to the

The Pensacola News of Tuesday
last makes the following odi
t1rial mention of Congressman Davis
recent visit to that city. The
News is u Mays paper, and its edi-
torial views concerning his opponent
probably fall short of the real situa-
ton:
at is very seldom that the citizens
of Pensacola have had an opportunity
to attend more typical political
meeting than that at the ArmOry
Hall last night. There was long
list of speakers, some of them the
best in the state, and all talked earn
estly in the hope o. improving their
chances of election. Senator Talia-
ferro and Congressman Davis We're
we'll received and each
made u most favorable impression
upon the voters present. We believe
that as u result of the meeting last
night both these gentlemen are
stronger in Escambia county today
than they were yesterday"

Judge j. G. Nertrees appeared be-
fore the board with the tax receipts
of j. r. Mellon, showing he had paid
taxes on the steamer Vagabondia for
1903, and asking that the same be
rebated on the ground that the boat
did not arrive in the county until
April, 1903, and therefore was not
the proper subject for taxation in
that year The boat was assessed at

bated the county's part, $I7.50.

Editor PALATKA NEWS:

Editor GALATkA N EWS:
In urging the claims of my friend
Judge Coke to reelection, ! wish to
call the attention of the voters of
Putnam county to the fact that while
the constitution and laws of Florida
do not require that the county Judge
must be Il lawyer it is true that no
person who was not lawyer has ev-
er made a proficient county judge in
this county. In counties where
county courts have been established
the law does require the county
Judge, who is also the judge of that
court, to be practicing attorney,
If, during the term of any county
Judge who is not an attorney, coun-
ty court should be established, he
would have to resign SO that an at
torney could be appointed.
