President Trammeii and Speaker Gil
christ Honored

just before the hour of adjourn
ment of the house of representatives
on Thursday, June 1, Captain john
son, of PascO county, presented
Speaker Albert w. Gilchrist with a
silver loving cup and cane on behalf of
the members of the house In his
felicitous speech Captain Johnson
made the prediction that Speaker
Gilchrist would four years hence oc-
cupy the new gubernatorial resi-
dence.
Hon. G. j. Stroller, on behalf of
the officers of the house, presented
Mr.. G'lchrist with a gold-headed
walking cane. Mr.. Gilchrist thanked
the donors most happily and low
ingly.
Hon. Park Trammell, president of
the senate, on the same evening was
presented with a very elegant silver
service as token of the esteem and
love in which he is held by his asso-
ciates and brother senators. Senator
Crane, of Tampa, made the presen-
tation speech, which was beautifully
responded to by Senator Trammell.

HIGH WAGES.

Mr.. Wendell Phillips claimed that
the high price paid by the United
States for wages put it in class by
itself. These wages, he said, per-
mitted the wife to preside over a
home of her own; to command leis-
ure, attend lectures, subscribe for
newspapers and magazines and lift
herself above the deadening level of
mere toll. The dollar, he said, left
over Saturday night, after all the
debts are paid, means education, in
depence, self-respect and manhood;
fills the towns with dwellings, opens
public libraries, dots the continent
with cities and cobwebs it with rail-
ways. This dollar, the great orator
claimed, is better than statues and
guarantees progress; is worth more
than thousand colleges and makes
soldiers and policemen superfluous.

Tharp and His Book.

We say in all kindness to Rev. Mr..
Tharp, his co-workers and sympa-
thizers, that it is now entirely too
late in the worlds history to engage
in 'unmasking' religions unless the
ends in view are the most tolerant,
charitable, useful and laudable. The
whole world observes with a thrill of
admiration and affection that there
exists to-day a warmer, stronger,
closer and growing feeling of con-
fraternity between the churches,
and each recognize the fact that all
are travelling different routes to reach
the same goal, and instead of quarrel
ing over creeds and methods, they
are engaged in the better and holier
task of strewing the pathway that
each travel with sweet incense and
gracious deeds. The long night of
bigotry and intolerance.we fain be-
lieye is ended.

what a Smart Woman Said.

just before her retirement from the
Tallahassee Capital to accept a posi-
ton on The Jacksonville Sun, Miss
Jefferson Bell made the following
observations which show that she can
penetrate as far into milestone as
some of our most astute and brilliant
statesmen:
Whatever may be tie truth as to
the asylum" said this keenly obser-
want woman, this much is at least
certain-some of these investigating
committee reports have been so
grossly exaggerated as to justify the
public in looking with suspicion upon
the entire series. The report on the
University of Florida at Lake CITY,
for instance, was SO obviously sin
spired" as to be practically worthless,
except as an indication of the lengths
to which some men will permit them
selves to be carried by their personal
feeling, and when this sorry business
is turned inside out, it will be found
that the same influence has in reality
been at the bottom of nearly every
investigation" designed to besmirch

From the 0csIs Soap Tree.
Prof E. Moulie. the well known
manufacturer of Florida floral per-
fumery, is an enthusiast ON the sub
ject of growing Algerian soap trees in
this state for profit. Trees at Ocala
and at Tallahassee demonstrate that
the soapberry will thrive here and in
time become of great commercial
value, for the United States agricul-
tural bureau has become interested,
and will secure seeds and plants from
Algeria for Professor Mo,Iie to dis
tribute
From small quantity of the seed
secured from j. IL. Livingston, of
Ocala, Professor Mouie has express
ed few sample jars of pure, natural
vegetable cream soap-soft a I'd sooth-
ing TO the skin-which is perfumed
with a combination of Florida ex-
tracts made by Professor Moulie. The
experiments have proven entirely
satisfactory, and convince Professor
Moulie that Algerian soap trees as a
money crop cannot be excelled by
any other Florida product.
Mr.. Livingston. in whose yard the
Ocala soap trees are growing, is COM
ing to Jacksonville this week to con-
fer with Professor MOulie relative to
establishing nurseries and growing
plants for distribution.-Tim s-Union.

The Tallahassee correspondent of
the Tampa Tribune says that the late
legislature was 1.-THE worst since the
reconstruction era" ''It drifted from
bad to WORSE" is the way he puts it
in another place.
We make the following quotations:
''Without . leader, without definite
aim or policy. the house of represen-
tatives gradually drifted from bad to
worse, until the last weeks of the
session resembled nothing 60 much
as . bean garden with the lid OFF,
70 say all this is not to say that the
body was without capable or repre-
sentative men. Such men there were
in plenty, but they failed to stand
together they failed to organize early
in the session, and to this failure
must in part be ascribed the baneful
influence acquired in the lower branch
of the legislature by an element
which sought to belittle and besmirch
not only the Jennings but the Brow
ard administration Also
''This element was led by a mem
Der who shall be nameless. If he is
seeking notoriety, he will not receive
it here. If he is seeking to distin-
guish himself, he has simply extin-
guished himself; and, should his iden-
tity be asked, let it be said, in the
slang of the day, that Ibis name is
Dennis" Animated only by personal
feeling, this member devoted himself
with untiring energy to bringing to
bear upon the administration and
certain of its friends every possible
influence that could injure it in the
public estimation. Living in one
county and representing another.
this member in truth represented lit
tie else than an old county political
feud, whose dying embers he sought
to fan into life, and, who in his blind
rage, cared not whom he injured, so
long as he could strike down his per-
sonal enemies.
With all this as starting point, it
is easy to see how the breach be-
tween the administration and the
legislature was first opened, and
though the lines were drawn too late
in the session to materially affect leg
islation, the effect of the rupture upon
the politics of the state will probably
prove far reaching.
Fortunately for the people of the
state, this hostile element soon over
reached itself. The publication of
the committee report on the Univer-
sity of Florida was a fatal revelation,
since it showed upon its face a dispo-
sition to prejudice public opinion by
the clumsy distortion of facts.
1.-The effect of that report has been
disastrous, not to the University but
to the political clique that prompted
it,

Mrs. Sarah A. Harris was-a remark
able woman, OF large physique. and
possessed Of mind strong. active and
capable. of grasping, material. things
with a clearness and rare Judgment
that was refreshing to her listeners as
she worded her opinion. Her interest
in the affairs Of the world were great
and she was possessed OF a retentive
memory, which she had stored with
extensive reading. She was most en-
tertaining companion. What she
thought and did was with the empha-
sis of her strong personality. She de-
spised shams, she abhorred hypocrites-
Hers was a sincere nature, and in that
spirit she was devoted member of the
NJ NJ church all the days Of her life.
She was possessed of a kindly, gener-
Gus nature, and could neither hear OF
nor see suffering but her sympathetic
heart went out to the afflicted and her
charity was of the kind that admins
tiers in deeds.
One son survives her, Mr.. Jas. A
Harris who is known to all who know
the history of orange growing in Ma
rion, and who was the pioneer citrus
grower on the south banks OF Orange
Lake, and from which industry Citra
was named, he having invaded the
hammock land and budded the wild Or
ange trees and created a grove that
was the pride and glory Of the state.
Mr.. Jas. A. Harris is now in New York
city.
Peace to the ashes of the deceased.

acter we admired in life, and in her
death we sympathize- and condole with
the afflicted.

H0n- Gordon g. Scott, local ere in
sursnce agent In this city for several
companies, has kindly hssded ~ .
copy Of the Insurance Field, . pabli-
cation devoted exclusively to the in
surance busness.
The editor remarks with some de-
gree of sarcasm that The. mesropolitan,
daily press disputes with the Alnieh-
ty in the possessions Of the quality of
infallibility.
But whatever else the Insurance
Field may think the metropolitan
daily press possesses, it thinks it only
reveals dense ignorance when it es-
says to discuss insurance matters.
1t no doubt thinks the same thing
of the governor of Arkansas and the
governor of Florida.
The Field then quotes from a cor
respondent, a MIR. Evans, who, with
ga pen in his hand,'' it thinks is a
Enodel.
In replying to the editor of the
New York Times, this wonderful Mr..
Evans, among other things, says
Our rates based on conditions and our
charges are p-edicated upon experience Ia
bIes. and while do not claim that methods
are perfect. do claim and will maintain and
prove that the property owner who seeks the
highest obtainable standards in fre-prooi
struction" is not ''peualized to make good the
losses of those who indifferent whether
their bHIldings burn or not" As matter OF
fact hreproof Office buildings, which includes
such buildings as the Times Building, have not
yielded profit, but loss to my company, and
no doubt to all companies.
Now, if it be true, as Mr.. Evans
says, that insurance companies Lose
money on fireproof buildings they
must make money on buildings that
are not fireproof.
Why do insurance companies make
US pOos fellows who are unable to
put up ''fireproof'' buildings pay for
those who are more fOrtunate2
We are paying a rate of more than
four per cent in order that the insur-
ance companies may be able to pay
their losses on fireproof buildings that
they insure for too low a rate.
This Is not a fair deal.
Local agents should use their inf1u-
ence in getting their companies to
protect their helpless patrons who
are unable to erect ''fireproof" build
ingS.
That is what we would proceed to
do if we were an agent.
We hope Mr. Scott and his col
leagues, Mr.. Davis and Messrs. Ditto
& Maloney, may be able to do some
thing for US.

It seems to Us almost needless 70
say to 20 intelligent . contempt
rsry - the Miami Record 10 that the
law of supply and demand is about -
old - the multiplication table.
When the Ocala Banner sid that
this law controlled prices of course it
meant under ordinary and not under
extraordinary conditions.
This law holds good when competi-
ton is active and the markets are un-
restricted.
When corners: are made on GER
tain products and import or export
duties are levied upon them, the law
of supply and demand is interrupted.
For instance. when the government
levied a tax on cotton this tax had to
be added to the price, the same as
the tax on liquor is added to the price
of that article; or if a successful cor
ner is made on the crop, the law of
supply and demand is interfered
with.
The proper way to make the law of
supply and demand effective is to
correct conditions that make tariffs,
monopoiies and trusts possible.
1t can not be done by hurting ana
themas and making war on indivi-
duals.
AS long as conditions exist indivi-
duals will take advantage of them.

SWVUS.
The Gainesville Sun is putting
forth the plea that the University of
Florida was behind the Buchanan
bill, and, to promote its own ends,
that it diabolically murdered the
other schools of the state.
As q member of the board of trus-
tees of the University of Florida,
and speaking for and in benalf of
said board, we make the solemn dec
laration that the plea of the Gaines
vile Sun is without foundation or
justi dcation.
The University of Florida tooklno
part for nor against the adoption of
the Buchanan bill. and the very
shameful manner in which said
university was treated by the
legislature of Florida shows the
utter absurdity of the plea of the
Gainesville Sun.
There is a emulation of evidence
which goes conclusively to show that
the University of Florida did not ex-
ercise the least control over the re-
cent legislature of Florida, nor did it
attempt to do so. All it asked at its
hands was fair treatment and it
failed TO get that.
The Sun must revise its statements
and make them harmonic with the
extraordinary proceedings of this
brilliant body of statesmen.
