AN HONORABLE DEFEAT
VS.. A sTRADDLE CAMPAIGN.

The Live Oak Crescent, Col. Fred
L. Robertson's paper, makes the fol-
lowing very direct, but. altogether
pertinent comment on subject that
is just now commanding more or less
attention:
Some of the Democratic newspapers
are Specializing already on the pros
pect Of Hon. William J. Bryan rs the
Democratic nominee for president in
1903, and are asserting that he is lay
ing his plans 10 that end, and is seek
ing to capture the party machinery
from what is known as the rs-organ-
izers, and some of the papers are
seeking to he.ittle Bryan and make
fun of him.
Bryan has shown himself to be a
whole lot bigger man than those who
undertook the reorganization of the
party prior to the last campaign, and
the effort to belittle him will fall fiat,
He has a larger personal following
today than any other single man in
America, and while he may never be
president. yet his honesty will give
him an influence and control in the
party none other can take. from him.
It was loudly proclaimed before the
nomination by those Democrats that
prOfessed political foresight. that a
conservative man was needed to lead
the party They had their way, the
conservative candidate received nearly
two million votes less than. Mr.. Bryan
received, and Mr.. Bryan polled nearly
million more votes that the success

two campaigns preceding his nomina.
ton.
The Democracy met Waterloo in
1904 because it tried to Straddle every
issue and win ON a platform that was
no platform at all. 1t tried to please
Everybody and succeeded in pleasing
nobody. Bryan was twice defeated
but he was defeated with respect
able vote to his credit. and we'd
rather see our candidate a man Of
principles. standing on platform that
means something. and receiving re
spectacle vote than to have candi
date standing for nothing, and de
feated as Parker was.
/ We can not imagine what the Teorgan
izers will base their claim for reeog
milton upon, certainly not upon any
thing they got out of the recent cam
: paign.
If Bryan desires to lead the party
again we will not say him may" He
! will at least go down in honest de
feat If he fails to win an honest vic
tory, and will leave the party at leas
a defeat it may be proud Of.
All of which is more than we car
say of the last defeat. Even the PEG
pie who drove the Democratic part,
into it do not seem to take any specia
pride in the matter now.

SUGAR FACTORIES
FOR WEST FLORIDA.

The news columns OF Saturdays
Journal contained the announcement
that Judge John Thos. Porter. of
Grand Ridge, was at work organizing
a company for the erection of a sugar
factory near that place.
The announcement ought to be of
more than passing interest to the
owners of farm lands throughout West
Florida, because, with an enterprise
OF that kind in active operation and
proving what can be done in the man
ufacture of sugar in this section, the
value of every acre of tillable soil
within fifty miles of the L. & n. rail-
road would be Immediately enhanced.
The superiority Of Florida cane syr-
up over all other cane products has
been sbundantly demonstrated, and
experiments in the manufacture of
sugar from the same kind of cane
have proved equally as successful,
though the latter has never been at
Nmpl6Q VI d ldI &c SCdtC- lU6IS Il
no doubt, however, that West Florida
cane contains larger proportion OF
the ssccharine properties necessary for
the manufacture of refined sugar than
Is found in the product of any other
section and that being the case the
only requisite TO the successful opera
tion of a sugar factory is a sufficient
amount of cane itself.
But this feature ought to be easily
supplied. There is not a farmer in
the section who does not know how

grow more or less of it. The only
thing necessary to secure a big eroI
