MEN AND METHODS.

The H erald considers all the
gubernatorial candidates that have
been mentioned capable and honor
able men. 1t does not endorse the
abuse and vituperation that have
been heaped upon them by over
Jealous opponents. If they are in
competent, dishonorable or corrupt
what can should be said of the in
telligence of Minnesota republicans
who have kept them in high official
positions for score of years. Yet
the H erald thinks the campaign
methods that some of them have
adopted are legitimate subjects of
criticism. Never before in the his
tory of the state, months before con-
vention time, have headquarters
been established, managers en-
ployed and all the machinery, with
its enormous, expense, of a full
fiedged election campaign put in
motion to secure a nomination.
Men who employ these methods
might just as well say to the voters
you are so vacilating, feeble minded
and unsophisticated that unless we
90 to great expense to tell you
who you want some unprincipled
politician will invade your homes
and sell you gold brick and you
night use your influence to select a
man that you don't want at all.
They might as well sing in the ears
"Foolish pilgrims you are stray
ing
Through bad and wicked land,
You are simple, we are learned,
We will lead you by the hand"
The intelligent citizen can but re-
gard it derogatory to electioneer
for the high Office of governor in
the same way he would lobby to Sc
cure the nomination for constable
at town caucus. 1t is a matter of
regret that men of the highest
standing will pursue such methods.
but we want the fact thoroughly
understood that it is the methods
we are criticising not the men.

Lind recently got inquisitive, and
wanted to be informed in an official

government pay roll. The Post in
nocently suggests that Mr.. Lind
could have saved himself much
trouble by ascertaining whether
Mr.. Bixby is still alive-that the
rest naturally follows. 1t may not
be out of place to state here that few
public officials stand in greater

on Mr.. Bulls personal acquaint-
ance wi; b the President. Your
correspondent has been informed
that the President expressed him
self as being highly pleased over
Mr.. Bulls interest in him, and it is
safe to predict that if that gentle
man should happen TO call at the
White House he would be greeted
with a most genuine western recep-
ton and handshake. Many of our
readers doubtless know that Mr..
Bulls is prominent stockman in
southern Minnesota.

Should be investigated.

The fire company was very late, it
is claimed, in reaching the Seymour
fire Sunday night. In the early part
of the same night an alarm was sent
in from one section of the city and
the fire wagons went in an opposite
direction in search of the burning
building. The department shifts the
responsibility onto the telephone
company. The matter is of sufficient
gravity to demand a rigid investiga-
ton by those in authority.

mr.. Titles Sermon on FrsternsI So
cietieS
DISARMAMENT.

cietieS.
Those who attended the Episcopal
church Sunday night heard a most
remarkable and memorable sermon
on ''Fraternal Societies in America. ("
DIR. Little said there are seventy
different fraternal orders in the Unit
ed States, which number a member
ship of seven and a half millions. That
there are seven of these orders in
Ocala and that their membership en-
braces the larger part of the adult
white male population of the city.
He spoke of their relation to the
state, to the home and to the indi-
vidual, dwelling at length and elo-
quently on these phases. He took
for his text that verse in Eccleciastes
which says, 1.-TWO are better than
one because they have a good re"
ward for their labor" and said that
the object of these societies is to help
one another and they do so in a very
eminent degree, giving away annual
ly to charity millions OF dollars, vet
they do this in a biblical
way-not letting the left hand
know what the right hand does,
hence their deeds of charity rarely
find their way to the ears of the pub
lie. One of the cardinal virtues of all
secret societies he said is loyalty to
the government and no man who is
disloyal to his flag can become a
member. That the home takes pre-
cedence of all other virtues and a
love for it is inculcated in every
lodge, and, indeed, it is for the pro-
lection of the home that these soci-
cites are created and makes them so
universally popular in the United
States. He said also, that these So
cieties throw their strengthening
arms around the individual member
and make him a better citizen,
a better defender and protector
of the home and a better man
in all of the relations of life.
Rarely has a better sermon been
delivered in Ocala and certainly new
er an one more thoroughly enjoyed by
the members of these organizations.

Mr.. SEYMOUR'S LOSS.
He Loses HIS Dwelling. Barn, Stable,
Etc, BY Fire Sunday Night.

Mr.. B. H. Seymour, who lives in
the northern end of the city, is hav-
ing a most unfortunate experience
with fires. Only a few months ago
his saw mill, including large guam
tity of lumber and his patent cross
tie cutter and veneer machine were
destroyed by fire and several years
ago he suffered similar loss.
Sunday night between 10 and IL
o'clock Mr.. Seymour was awakened
by discovering that his barn was
wrapped in flames and almost de-
stroyed. He Immediately rushed out
to try to save his carriage and horses
which were in the stable between his
dwelling and the barn. He saved
them but almost at once the stable,
his home and other buildings caught
fire and when Mr.. Seymour tried TO
re-enter his home it was almost i'm
possible for him to do so. In the
meanwhile Mrs. Seymour had gone
down stairs to the telephone to turn
in the alarm and after she succeeded
in doing this she was unable to go
back up stairs and she and her chill
dren, in their night clothes, barely
escaped.
Nothing was saved from the house
and Mr.. Seymour estimates his loss
at about $1,000 and his insurance
amounts to $1,000.
