SEWER GAS EXPLODED

street was badly torn and a frame
building demolished.
Four persons, including City Engi-
neer Miltimore, were killed.
Three workmen, accompanied by City
Engineer Guy Miltimore. who carried
a gasoline torch, were going down into
the sewer when they encountered sew

Jacksonville, Fla, June 11.-While it
is evident that Napolean Broward has
been nominated for Governor in the
second primary, defeating Congress-
man r. w. Davis, it will require the
official count to determine the result.
The face of the returns show ma
jority for Broward of 600, but there
are counties where the friends of Davis
are claiming fraud, and where they
have what they consider sufficient
testimony to throw out the entire vote.
Senator Taliaferro has defeated ].
N. C. Stockton by $500 majority. and
Frank Clark is nominated for Congress
over ]. NJ. Bars by 1000. In Duval
county, two candidates are contesting

Napoleon B. Broward, who, it
seems, has been nominated for
Governor of Florida, defeating one
of the most distinguished and
brilliant men in the state, is native
Floridian. He was born in Duval coun-
ty, April 10, 1857, at the old farm
house at the mouth of Cedar creek.
Working on a farm in his early boy
| hood days, he. later moved to New Ber-
| lin, and worked as a cook on steam
| boat, which was owned by his uncle,
| Capt. Parsons. He was afterwards en-
| ployed as fireman on various steam
! boats on the St. Johns river. and later
| became part owner of a boat with
Capt. David Kemps. In 1887 he ran
a wood yard, and when Henry d. Hol-
land, sheriff of Duval county, died in
1S89 Gov. Perry appointed him to fill
the position. In 1891 he was elected to
the Office and reelected in two subse-
| quent elections. In 1900 he was elected
to the Legislature. and in the same
year Gov. Jennings appointed him a
member of the State Board of Health.
He was elected a City Councilman, and
| served on the Police Commission in
! 1895 and 1896 He owns part of the
| Three Friends, the boat made famous
| in the Spanish War His remarkable
race for Governor has demonstrated
that he is a good politician, and pos
sessed ability, both as a speaker and

promise AND PERFORMANCE.


Candidate CornwelI talks very glibIy
/. Of the Demecracy's plans for the re
form of our tax laws, but fails utterly
20 outline any detailed proposition
which will relieve the people and
equaIize the burdens. Mr.. CornweIl
says the Democratic idea is TO relieve
the taxpayers gradually and surely.
but he does not reveal how or when
the thing is to be done. In recent arti-
cles attempting to reply to the Hon.
George c. StnrSiss he tells tale -of
Democratic obstruction of certain
measures which have amply proven
their efficiency. but on the main ques-
tions involved in tax bills agreed upon
by the Republicans he is silent except
for a few glitterins generalities which
will not fool the people.
If, as Mr.. Cornwell AYERS, the Dem
ocratic party is SO heartily in favor of
tax revision may we be permitted to
ask why the party took no step in thai
direction when it was in full control
Of every department of the State gov
eminent? The evils which now exist
in our system of taxation were just as
are to-day, and yet the Democratic
party in its long lease OF power never
made any attempt whatever to bring
about the much-needed changes. 1t
was content TO let the tax laws stand
as they were since the war. It was
satisfied with the antiquated and unc-
quail system handed down to us by old
Virginia. 1t had neither the courage
nor the inclination to even propose q
modern plan which would do away
with the past and bring our tax laws
up to the requirements of the times.
On the other hand the Republican par
tvs record is one of achievement, de
spite Democratic obstruction. 1t had
not been long in power until the agi-
tarion for better, fairer system be
gan and it nobiy inaugurated the re
forms at the recent special session of
the Legislature. 1t viii carry them to
their glorious contamination if intrusr-
ed with power again. indeed by the
past the only hope of true tax reform
lies with the Republican party.

Barnes Was ~. G.

Our friend Walter Barnes made a
great exhibition of himself at the
opera house Tuesday night. It was
announced that he would discuss Ma
tional issues, and, naturally the
crowd expected to hear something,
but they were sadly disappointed, ex-
cept that he in a loose disconnected
and unintelligent manner. with the
aid of his note books, made all man
ner of dispaTagins remarks about
President Roosevelt, and made ridicu-
5IouS illusions to his course and the
Republican administration generally.
Walter proved TO be decided failure
as public speaker and debater. The
ordinary school hoy does far better,
and, from the effect he made that
night the Democratic party would do
well for itself to cancel all dates he
may have and send him back to look
ing after telephones and the Hike
Clarksburg Telegram.

In talking. one Of the members OF
the Political Equality Club this morn
ing said that the club now numbered
over one hundred members and that
the sentiment toward the movement
was undergoing a rapid change in its
favor.
Miss Gordon. noted lecturer. of
Louisiana, will make tour of our
State this fall and organize clubs in
"a number Of the cities. It is hoped
that much will be accomplished dur
ing the ensuing year and it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that rapid strides
viii be taken on the road to complete
recognition and equality of suffrage
On being questioned in regard to the
Day Nursery idea she stated that the
club, as a club, had nothing to do
with this innovation and could report
no progress in the movement How
ever. those who are agitating the nur
sery are making herculean efforts in
it's behalf and it will no doubt be in
stitutetl within a short period.

The State Journal will have more on
the tax question as the campaign goes
on. This taxing all property al it's real
value is what all honest men desire.
It is only the tax dodgers and their
friends, like the Parkersburg Sentinel,
who do not want it done. The tax
question is one of the simplest in the
world. There is only SO much tax to
raise anyway, and to increase the waltz
alton of property does not increase
the taxes. excepting for those who
have not paid their share. 1t will de
crease those Of the farmer and labor
ing man, for they have always paid
their proportion and more. Now to
catch the property that has not here
tcfore paid. especially at its real value,
will aid Them e1y.-Par kers-

1t looks like the effort that is being
made to misrepresent the tax question
and mislead the farmers is an insult
to their intelligence. The farmers read
for themselves and think for them
selves, and if they do not knew al
ready they soon will know all about
the tax laws, when it will dawn
upon them that they more than any
other class will be benefited by the re-
cent legislation. The farmers have al
ways been burdened most by taxation,
and 1t was for their relief that the tax
reform movement was started and
which viii not end until their taxes
are reduced, as are those of their
class in Ohio and Pennsylvania, to a
mere Dittance. This is the ultimate
object OF the tax reformers, and its &C
complishment seems close at hand.

John ]. Cornwell says no provision
has been made for increasing the
assessment of railroads. Have rail
roads under the present law been as
sesSed on the market value of their
shares of capital stock and the true
and actual value of all their proper
ties and Investments? Besides every
point Which Mr.. Cornweil contends
against is embodied in the original
report of the tax commission for which
document Mr. Cornwel has suddenly
developed great sympathy though
neither he nor any other Democratic
leader has said that if elected they
will try 10 enact the commission re
port into law.-WheelnS News.

Walter Barnes, Democratic candi-

Tuesday night, as was also Mr.. Corn

much of an impression on their small

fort. the Telegram says:
His speech was disconnected. dis

In discussing the tax views of a
Democratic paper published in Fair
mont. the Wheeling News says that
''as sure as fate if the new assessment
law is properly enforced in Marion
there will not be 4 farmer in the cOun-

of his taxes reduced" Certainly he
will, for all the TAX bills were framed
in the interest OF the farmer. who has

A CODGER CAUGHT.

| We understand the Democratic
candidate for sheriff has told some OF
the farmers that he would have to sell
their farms for taxes on account OF
the recent laws enacted. 1t now turns
| out that if he will pay his proportion
ate share with the farmer, as the new
assessment law will make him do. the
farmer won't have as much to l,ay as
he has been paying. This Democratic
candidates. home is valued at $4,000
and is on the assessors books at
$4.10O, which is less than one-eiG1ith
of its value. Now. farmers, you know a
what your farms are assessed; multi
ply the amount by eight and sec if
that wouldn't make your farm "un
into pretty high figures. The tri- !. Of
the matter is the farmer has been
paying more than his share of taNcs:
and the object of the new law is %
even things up by making such
dodgers as the aforesaid candidate
pay more so the farmers may pa:
