Florida's Repudiated Bonds
Wanted.

From an advertisement which APP
pears in The Journals Want columns
today. some one is evidently interest
ing himself in the matter of Florida's
repudiated bonds, for he advertises
that he wants to buy them and, it rea-
sonably follows, he must imagine he
sees some way of collecting them.
Whatever may be the purpose of
the man behind the advertisement 1t
Is manifestly case which the people
of Florida may well regard with some
concern. The example of North Caro-
lima, which the Supreme Court recent.

those repudiated bonds, is too fresh

WANTED-A LAW TO PROHIBIT
OPIUM pENS IN FLORIDA.

According to the Tampa Herald, at
least % opium dens exist in that city
and its immediate suburbs and there
Is no law on the statute books by
which they can be closed up. The
Herald therefore calls on the legis-
lature to at once pass bill prohibit
ing such joints SO that not only Tam
pa but all other parts OF the state
may be protected from what is prob
ably the worst vice on the calendar.
The Journal agrees entirely with its
Tampa contemporary. If We have no
statute prohibiting the operation of
opium dens, We should have one at
once.
Possibly Tampa is the only city in
the state where institutions of that
kind are run openly. but the fact that
they exist there should be sufficient
warning of what any other city in
the state may have TO endure unless
there is some means provided to pre-.
vent it.
According to the Herald the mum

THE MAN WHO THOUGHT
He "SToPPED THE PAPER"

The following aneedote from the
May number of the Success Magazine
Is not altogether new, but it is about
as pat an illustration of the point
sought to be impressed as could well
be made:
An acquaintance met Horace Gree
ley one day, and said: Mr.. Greeley,
I've stopped your paper
Have your" said the editor. I'VE
that's too bad" And he went his
way
The next morning Mr.. Greeley met
his subscriber again, and said: Il
Thought you had stopped the 'Tri-
bune?'"
$50 did"
Then there must be some mistake, .
said Mr. Greeley, for / just came
from the Office and the presses were
running, the clerks were as busy as
ever, the compositors were hard al
work, and the business was going on
the same as yesterday and the day
before"
"Oh," calculated the subscriber, Il
didn't mean That had stopped the pa.
per; stopped only my copy Of il, be
causeI didn't like your editorials"
"Pshawi" retorted Mr.. Greeley. IN
wasn't worth taking up my time 20
tell me such a trifie as that My dear
sir if you expect to control the utter
ance OF the Tribune by the purchase
Of one copy day, or if you think tc
find any newspaper or magazine worth
reading that viii never express con
victions at right angles with your own
you are doomed to disappointment"
The man who stopped the Tribune
has his counterpart in almost every
community even to this day, though
he is not quite sc numerous az he uset
to be.
When he reads something in tbs
paper which nis little brain fails tx
approve, the first thing he thinks o
is stop the paper" He seems t.
imagine he is dealing the paper Z
terrible blow-that the whole edftoria
and Office force win stand aghast wneI
the dreadful announcement of his or
der is made known.
If such a man could really see him
self as he is-if he could only realiz'
how small he is-if he could only ap
preciate insignifcance of his action
SO far as 1t affects the newspaper
but why expect a man of that calibr'
to be able TO do any of these things?
AS as matter of fact, there are, a
the most, only three persons connect
ed with the newspaper who ever hea
anything about these orders 10 .-stol

The recall"
in City Government.

The address delivered by Charles
D. Willard. on Municipal Progress n
Los Angeles" before the National
Municipal League in New York City
Friday night, as reported in The Jour
nails telegraphic columns yesterday,
contains some exceptionally valuable
matter that all who are interested in
municipal government will do well to
study.
1t is well known fact that in the
great changes and improvements in
municipal government which the last
ten years have witnessed, the Pacific
coast cities have probably led the van
and Los Angeles in particular offers
a fine example of what welldirected
reform efforts can accomplish.
The most unique feature, probably,
in all of the reforms which Los Ange.
les mas put into effect is that embodied
in what is known as the Recall a
provision in the city charter which
provides for the recall before his term
expires, of city alderman with whom
a majority of his constituents become
dissatisfied.
The plan, as adopted by Los Angeles
provides that where Is per cent. OF
the qualified voters of a precinct sign
statement to the effect that they are
, dissatisfied with an aldeFman's
course, an election shall forthwith be
called>and the alderman must contest
with anyone who may be nominated
against him for mis- place for the re
mainder OF the term. The Recall wa.
resorted to On one occasion in Los
Angeles and public sentiment now
strongly favors it.
While this is probably one of the
most advanced features in present
day municipal reform, there does mo-
appear to be any reason why it is mo-
both practical and desirable. While i
is not likely that the Recall would b.
very frequently called into requisition
the mere fact of its existence would
prevent bad men from seeking place.
in the city council, or, If they shoult
get in, its moral effect would provid,
check on them and a way to get rit
; of them if their constituents desires
to use it.
i Five American cities, all in Califor
mia, now possess the Recall as a char
ter provision. These cities are Lo
Angeles, Pasadena, Fresno, San Ber
nardino and Sar Diego. To anyon
, who has travelled over the Pacifi
coast it need not be explained tina
, these cities are not only examples o
| thrift and enterprise in the way o
public Improvements, but they are ais
thriving business centers and pros
, porous in the extreme
, While the best thought of the cour
| try is now engaged in devising plan
: for better government in our cite:
: the progress Of our Pacific coast neigh
:, bors will be watched with interest and
We nave no doubt, with profit.

of the Missouri, mixed up In the 145
pound bout. The first round was pro-
ductiye Of nothing, and in the second
Paxton had the best. The third and
fourth were the same, but in the fifth
Paxton drew blood from Moran's nose.
In the sixth Paxton had things all his
own way and pounded Moran all about
the ring, getting the decision.
The Sixth Rout.
The sixth bout, between the middle.
weights was the best The first round
showed fast and clever work, although
several clinches occurred In the sec
and several bard blows were delivered
by each, but in the third both men
appeared fresh and went at one an,
other, delivering hard blows, and In
the fourth they mixed up to a con.
siderable extent. and the heavy blows
could be heard all over the house
The fighting at this stage was fast
, and furious 1t was between Rollins
/ Of the Kentucky and O'Toole of the
Alabama, and in the sixth Rollins
succeeded in landing several good
blows, which gave him the decision.
The Last Bout.
The last bout was between Nellel
OF the Alabama and Trainer of thu

test, and was very fast and furious
both men landing heavy blows. In
