 Wireless is an aid to river navigation The Marconi system has been installed for the Canadian government ill a series of stations which makes a chain from Belle Isle to Labrador and virtually patrol the dangerous St. Lawrence river The stations at Belle Isle, Heath Point. Point Armour, Chateau Bay, Fame Point, Sable Island, Cape Race, and other points are doing commercial business. The chain, when completed, will have a scope of 500 miles. The stations keep boats advised of ice and of weather conditions ahead so that they may steer clear course. Here wireless systems cover a country where storms constantly blow down wires. Through wireless telegraphy Labrador, for the first time, has tele- graphic communication with the rest of the world. An extension of the system on the eastern Canadian coast will do away with many of the perils of ocean liners.
 For land service several wireless sys- tens are doing conme1 cial work There is Marconi communication from London to Italy, to Gibraltar and even to Russia - overland communication for I,5oo miles, It is now maintained that wire less is as adaptable to mountains and valleys as to the sea. In England there are TOW twenty four wireless stations op- erating on islands. There are four on the Isle of Wight, one i'll Belgium, one ill Holland, one ill Germany, two i'll Italy, and two in Montcnegro; and even the Congo Free State possesses two. The most powerful station of all is being built ill Monte Mario ill Italy, to connect with similar station i'll Argentina, 6 1000 miles away, where l ,ooo GOO Italians live. The intention of the builders of the sta tions is tn charge cents word for mes- sages which now cost s. 50 by cable.
 The De Forest Company have three vast circuits in prospect; one system is to send messages via the Great Lakes to Montana and Seattle, thence to Alaska, Siberia and the Orient. There are to be stations in San Francisco and Honolulu, Guam, Manila and Hong Kong. This will make a double line of wireless com munication across the Pacific. The sec ond system is to be a branch to the Middle West, to Fl paso, Santa Fe. Los Angeles and San Francisco; the third will run down the eastern seaboard to Panama, then across and up the Mexican coast to San Francisco. Connecting with this system will he the lrsular branch connecting Guantanamo, Key West, Fen. sacola and Porto Rico. All of these big systems will be in communication one with another.

Those Who Can Vote.

The question of juat who will be
entitled to vote in the forthcoming
wet and dry election has been raised
in an inquiry to the News. The an
swer is:
All registered voters who have
paid their poll taxes for the year
10000 can vote in the special wet
and dry election September 26th.
Those who have not paid can do so
and thus become qualified up to and
including the Sth day of September.
But the registration books will not
be opened. Thus only those who are
already registered, but have failed to
pay their poll taxes, can qualify.
The law in the case is found in
chapter 5246, sec. %, laws of Florida
of 1903, and is in substance us fol-
lows: Tax collectors shall receive
poll taxes for 20 days Immediately
proceeding the second Saturday of
the month preceding the day of any
general or special election The tax
collector shall make list of those
who have paid their poll taxes in
each year prior to the second Satur-
day OF the month preceding the day
In any year upon which any general
or special election shall be held.
1t is as necessary that the voters
poll tax for 1903 shall have been paid.
as that of 1904. In fact he must have
paid his last two years poll taxes.

The City Council.

The second regular meeting of the
city council for the month was held
on Tuesday night with President
Steen in the chair.
The important feature of the meet
ing was the opening of the sealed
proposals for laying about thirty
thousand feet of four inch house
branches to the city sewer. There
were but two bids and they came
from Guild d Co. of Chattanooga,
Tenn, and Bryan & Co. of Jackson
vile. The bid of the latter was
much the lowest The council,
however, took no action except to re-
fer the bids to the city engineer who
will report at the next meeting.
Both firms making the bids are of
about equal responsibility and it is
likely that in case either bid is ac-
cepted it will be that of Bryan &
Co. But both may be rejected.
The council devoted most of its
time to the work of equalizing the
tax books, but did not finish, ad-
journing until last night to complete
the lob.

The game of base ball at the ball
park last Friday afternoon between

A WARNING TO MorHERs

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather of
tie summer months to guarI against
bowel troubles. AS rule it is only
necessary to give the child a dose of
castor oil to correct any disorder OF the
bowels. Do rot use any substitute, but
give the old-fashioned castor oil, and see
that it is fresh, as rancied oil naUseates
and has a tendency to gripe. II this

and the disease may be checked In its
incipiency and all danger avoided. The

Plays A Violin Now.

Bob Ray is home for a few vaca-
tion weeks from q convent school in
Savannah, which he has been at
tending since the death of his moth
er, last year.
Most every. one in Palatka knows
Bob Ray. We do and like him. For
weeks at time in years that are
now past the editor has performed
his daily tasks to the music of this
little boys singing as he sat alone
swinging to and fro in a little rope
swing in the yard back of his fathers
bar. Bob didn't have a large play
ground at home, only a few square
feet of planked back yard surround
ed by high brick walls, and for this
reason he spent much of his time on
the streets; and that's how so many
came to know him.
We always liked to hear Bob sing,
not so much for the quality of his
yoice-though that was good--but
because it denoted stored up and
bubbling happiness in his heart, and
we are glad to have him back again.
He sings yet, but in addition to his
voice he makes music with his viO-
lin. Bob is becoming somewhat of
an expert violinist, and at the COM
mencement exercises of the convent
last spring played several selections
that won for him not only great APP
plause, but enviable press mention
in the Savannah daily papers
The only thing about Bob that we
don't like is the habit he has gotten
into lately of growing. Bye and
bye, if he keeps it up, it means that
you and and all of us will have to
speak of him as Mr.. Robert Ray.
We don't like the idea of losing the
boy who stood out so strongly before
us as an embodiment of happiness,
and who was so successful in impart-
ing it to others by means of a child
ish treble that split riffs in the
clouds of worry and care.

VIII 1t Iniure BusinesS?

One of the leading and most etfec-
tive arguments being used by those
who desire Palatka to continue as a
wet city is compressed into the state
ment that "to remove the saloons
would kill business"
No man who has the interests of
Palatka at heart desires to see the
business of the city even injured,
much less to see it killed
Palatka has always been license
city. The retailing of liquor as u
beverage has always been legalized
go "dry" at this time would mean a
very radical change from old GUS
toms, but to say that such change
would injure, or kill the business of
city is something that cannot be
predicted with any such degree Of
certainty as is being voiced by those
who favor continuance of "wet"
conditions. 1t will kill the whisky
business, that much is certain.
This argument is being used not
alone by those interested in the sale
of liquor, but by many of our best
and most conservative merchants,
men whose opinions are entitled to
respect. They do not make the state
ment because of any particular lik-
ing for the liquor business. In fact
the majority of them are men who
do not even drink liquor.
But may they not be mistaken in
their estimate of the value of the
saloon as an adjunct in Palat-
ka's commercial progress? One
Atl nj haf Wiz
mistaken. We refer to Mr.. w. b.
Taylor, vice-president of the Baird
Hardware Co. of Gainesville. He
now acknowledges his mistake. His
acknowledgement was made on June
l3, last, after Gainesville had had one
year of "dry" experience 1t was in
the shape of letter to prominent
citizen of that place. Here is Mr.
Taylor's letter:
DEAR SIR The signer was on the
''wet" side during the campaign in
this county, fearing that this city
would suffer were the county to go
dry.
Within a very few months after
the election it was clearly proven
that with the county and city dry
that both had been greatly benefit
ted. Without outside causes con-
tributing to our retail business, am
glad to say that even that depart
ment which is dependent solely on
the city trade has grown out of pro-
portion to our trade from the county
at large.
If the question were to be again
agitated in this county, we would be
willing workers to keep it ''dry."
Very truly yours,
Baird Hardware Co.,
w. B. TAYLOR,
Vice President.
Gainesville, Fla, June 13, 1905.
Now, Mr.. Taylor is neither a crank
nor fanatic. He is just a plain,
everyday, hustling American busi-
ness man such as are many of those
in Palatka who are now taking the
stand he took prior to the election.
So we say: May not our men of
this class be mistaken also?
There are many practical, hard
headed business men in Palatka who
are even now favOring the dry side.
They say thatwith the saloons elm
mated business conditions would
improve.
So there is difference of opinion
among business men of the best
class.
This is leaving the moral side of
the controversy out of the calcula-
tions. All concede that whisky has
and can contribute moth
ing to the moral advancement of the

Thine earthly bonds are broken and
Thy spirit Is with God,
While We thy suffering loved ones here
Must pass beneath the rod.
1t seemeth hard to give thee up
So manly, true and brave,
And lay SO many cherished hopes
Within the silent grave
Wen miss thee more than we can tell,
Thy home so sad will be
Without thy presence to make glad
Hearts ever true to thee.
Thy boyh0od friends will miss thee too.
And though they may not weep.
Yet deep within their loyal hearts,
Thy memory they'll keep.
And Charlie, when the hour shall come
For Sabbath school to meet,
Thy teacher and thy class will yearn
For one they're wont to greet.
Fen at the hospital, they say
Thy gentle nature won
The hearts of nurse and surgeon
AS no one else had done.
Thy life was ever free from blame,
Obedient, patient, kind
Thy parents, kindred, Schoolmates ALL
No fault in thee did find.
And so Wen trust that when the call
From earth to thee was given
Thy peaceful spirit planned it's flight
And winged Its way to Heaven.
