West Pass Appropriation.
Much has been said and written
about West Pass and the failure upon
the part of congress TO appropriate
a sum equal to requirements; and
much more will be said upon the SUBJ
ject. The Times trusts, however, that
congressman Lamar win take a great
er interest in this work than did the
congressman who formerly represent
ed this district. The Times contends
that West Pass has ever been treated
with scant courtesy by congress In the
matter of appropriations, but when the
new congressional district was Great
ed We were in hopes that change for
the better would result. So far; how
ever, no apparent change for the bet
ter is noted. This neglect has not
been due to a lack CT merit upon the
part of the enterprise; nor for lack
of zeal upon the part of this citizen.

Bryan the Standard Bearer.
! 1t seems from the trend of public
/ sentiment all over the country that
! people are beginning TO educate them
/ selves better on public matters and
| thereby putting themselves In shape
/ to vote intelligently on their rights.
We venture the assertion that w. ].
! Bryan will be the standard bearer OF
the Democratic party for the next four
years and that he will poll the larg-
/ est vote In 1908 that has ever been
/ polled since the foundation of the gov
eminent, provided he will accept the
nomination. Such men as w. J. Bryan
and Napoleon B. Broward can't be
downed.-Manatee Record.
| Governor Broward's Veto.
| Gov. Broward has no doubt vetoed
more bills than any of the Governors
who have held The executive chair in
ten years already. The people need
rot be uneasy so long as Broward
/ holds down the vetoing power for he
| has a keen eye and is somewhat bet
ter informed than some OF his oppon-
ents thought he was. In the number
of bills vetoed he has not made one
veto which the people generally do
not approve Of, and when we say peo-t
/ pie We mean the masses not the class
es.-Manatee Record.
Weakness in Buchanan Bill.
One of the weak points OF the Buck
man bill is that no member of the
educational board of coatrol shall be
resident of the county in which the
university is located. As a matter
of pertinent fact the best interest OF
the school and the people would be
served by having a resident member.
Such is the custom in sundry en-
lightened states ofconsiderable exper-
fence in the higher public education.-I
