NEW CONSTITUTION
FOR STATE OF FLORIDA.
Jacksonville Metropolis.


Do the taxpayers of Florida think
another constitutional convention re-
ally necessary and worth the cos.
thereof? This is a question of vital
importance to the people of Florida.
Ii will cost al least sec. 900 Ia hold
such convention, ana this. coupled TO
the 100000 toBpay legislative expens-
. es, means that more taxes must be
paid. It has been suggested that this
cost of convention could be all saw
ell were there clause in the new con-
stitutlon making sessions of the legis-
iature once every four. instead Of
every two years This is true, but
would IL be best to extend the sessions
so far apart? A bill calling a conyen-
ton has been introduced into the leg
: isiature, and it should be seriously
considered before enacted into law.
There is no doubt of the states pros
pering under the present organic law,
and while there NAV be defects IN that
law and necessary changes in some
minor provisions advisable TO meet
present exigencies, II must be borne
in mind that it will be a very difficult
matter to frame a constitution suitable

"A WORLD POWER.

The Pittsburg Leader, one of the

state Of Pennsylvania. pays a high
compliment to the Associated Press
of which The Journal is a member

One of the last, but by no means the
least, OF the achievements of Col. Mel

Associated Press, was his inducing

campaigns, or plans might cause their
failure through telegraphing back 10

censorship been so drastic and never
before has 1t been so adroitly circum-
vented.
The truth is, Col. Stone has made of
the Associated Press world power.
There is nothing on earth approach
ing 1t in magnitude, or in perfection

reading public was indebted to the en-
terprise of a great London daily (un-

of the present war have shifted so
quickly, and for such great distances,
that no single. newspaper has been
able effectively to follow them. Thus
IL is that the Associated Press has
taught all Europe a lesson in the art
of describing The progress of a great
foreign war
Whether this feat means the perma.
nent extinction of the newspaper spe-
cial correspondent Is still a question.

that the position of Associated Press
