The very element that is arguing
day and night against a convention to
draft a declaration of principles for
the state democracy, met in cOnven-
ton in Jackson vile last week and
nominated delegates to the national
convention. 1t is said to have been
Que of the most adrOity cut aud dried
affairs in the history Of politics in this
state. Hon. Albert NJ. Williamson re-
fers to this convention in his Jackson
Vile Floridian as follows:
1--WE have thought over and dream
ed over the deliberations of the recent
conference Of Hearst democrats in
this city, and are still compelled to
admit that we can neither see the
wisdom of justice, to say nothing of
consistency, of the advocates of a pri-
mary election system of nominating
delegates and officials. when they
resort to the star chamber proceed
ings that characterized that cOnven.
ton.
eve have used the term convention
advisedly. For this is a distinction
, without a difference. A conference is
a convention and a convention is q
conference. Especially is this true
when the conference becomes a con-
ventiOD to the extent of nominating
delegates TO another convention and
of even naming the presidential cleo
tors.
ave make these comments with the
profOundest misgivings. The holders
of the convention were and are our
friends, and we are free to confess our
intention of voting for their nOmi-
nees at the primary, but we insist
that for advocates of q primary, the
primary is the proper place to nOmi-
nate.
These gentlemen have convinced
every unprejudiced mind that while
they advocate the primary election
system Oe nomination, that even a
| convention will be resOrted to as long
as they can control it" .-Gainesville

TIE PENALTY OF USEFULNESS.

The editor of this paper has about
an acre OF ground upon which is
growing orange trees, pear trees,
mulberry trees, Japan plums, grape
vines, roses, lilies and weeds.
An investigation the other day
revealed the extraordinary fact that
the orange trees had the scale insect
and white fly; the pear trees, the
blight; the mulberry trees, de-
structive caterpillar; ravenOus
worm was eating the leaves of the
lilies; tiny insect was singing and
blighting the roses, and the grape
vines were covered with millions OF
black mites.
Every tree and plant of value are
being attacked by an enemy and 1t
takes the most sedulOus care to keep
them from being destroyed, but the
trees and the weeds that are worth
less apparently have no enemy and
are unmOlested.
Turning from the vegetable to the
animal kingdom, how true the same
rule applies.
How almost impossible it is for a
good man to escape the shafts OF
envy, malice and SANDER; (see the
shafts hurled at Senator Taliaferro)
but the worthless men, like the
worthless weeds, escape abuse and
seem TO have no enemies.

DUTY OF DEMocRATS.

be be so fortunate We believe there
will be 8 great democratic awakening
and that a great democratic jubilee

let Us determine that the dead shall
bury its dead"
Let us determine that the demo-
cratic party shall have new birth
and 20 forth conquering and to con-
quer.
We believe the defeat of Mr..
Roosevelt is not difficult task.
BY being strenuous and spectacular
he has destroyed the tone and dignity
that has been always cOnspicuOusly
attached to this high office.
Mr.. RoOsevelt's course and conduct
IN Office is not receiving the endorse
ment Of the more digniied, cOnser-
vative and refined elements OF his
party and many life long republicans
would be glad to exchange him for q
man who would carry into the White
House more decOrum, amiability,
dignity and pOise Of character.
The democrats have q beautiful
winning chance if they can get to-
gether and enter the campaign with
any degree or enthusiasm.

WITH THE CATTLE RAIsERS.

The Meeting of the southeastern
Stcckbreeder's Association is fraught
with great interest TO the people Of
FIOrida. The address of Z. c. Cham
bliss, of this state, showing that the
waning pasturage of the commons
had reduced the average weight of
cattle exposed from 500 to $50 pounds
gross, which result Was also partly
due to the unwise methods of inter-
breeding the same stock shows that
the stock mem of this state are up
against q hard proposition that re-
quires brains as we'll as money in its
satisfactory solution.
PrOmptness in applying a remedy
is made Imperative Dy the showing
that Cu6a, FlOrida's principal Gus
toner, has since the war restOcked
itself with cattle and is now looking
for higher class cattle TO cross with
her STOCK imported from this state.
The Florida stock raiser is now con-
fronted with q condition that de.
mands q reorganization Of his BUSH
ness, both in the matter of produce
ton and the markets so which he
must pander in the disposition of his
products. In the matter of DrOduc.
ton the Florida stock raisers must
awaken to the fact that large western
concerns have for years been quietly
purchasing large tracts of Florida
lands, which they will find IN due
course of time will be fenced and
planted to the grasses and fOrages
best adapted to this climate and soil,
upon which will be placed improved
breeds of ShorthOrn and Hereford
cattle.
The present Florida stock raisers,
unless they wake up to the real sItua-
tiOh and put themselves in the pro-
cessiOn made necessary by the force
of events, will find themselves stran-
ded upon the rocks of neglected OPP
pOrtunities.
The value of crabgrass and velvet
beans have of late years forced them
selves upon the attention of the
stock raiser and demonstrated the
importance in the fAttening Of cattle,
and forced upon him the conviction
that for fat cattle there is always 8
good market at his own door at re-
munerative prices. Yet these flatter-
ing Opportuniti. have been disre-
gardad because il was e,sier to drift
with the current aud exhaust the
paSturage of all OPEN commons than
by exercising prudence and fore
thought to subdue nature by little
labor aud make his OVID land cOntri-
butte to the increasing Of his wealth.

From our exchanges We notice the
candidacy of Mr.. Allan Rodgers, 81

if of Marion county. This Is Of more
than ordinary interest 20 -, as Mr..
Rodgers is well and favOrably known
here, having married the daughter Of
Hon. John a. kirkpatrick, clerk Of
the criminal court OF record OF
Escambia county. Mr.. Rodgers -
one Of the most active and persistent
good roads advocates in the state OF
Florida. Not merely good roads for
campaign purposes, but = practical
good roads builder. In our own cOun-
ty we are reaping phenomenal results
in rural development from compare
lively recently constructed good
roads, and much OF the prosperity Of
the future of Florida must come
through this agency. To hold Of1ee

every good American, and when a
citizen announces himself as eandi-
date, or permits his friends to do 80,
for a public trust, it is simply a case
of the mans best nature asserting
itself. Mr.. Rodgers is not only such
an American, but be is public spirited
and far-sighted in the interest OF the
public. His enthusiasm for the state
of Florida is only surpassed 5y his
enthusiasm for the county of Marion.
He Is a loyal democrat, and from
