which the special council session OF
this morning was called by wiifully
absenting themselves from the meet

enough councilmen been present to
transact business it would have been
imperative for the body to order vote

been ordered to bring councilmen to

TIE LATE JUDGE DUNE.

Ths recent death Of Judge E. F.
Dunno, at Baltimore, recalls to the
minds Of many FlOridianS his many visits
10 the State, and his unwearied interest
in Florida's welfare and progress.
Judge Dunno was born in Western
New York, and while q boy he accom-
panied his father - California. He
studied law in San Francisco, and in
1853 went TO Nevada during the silver
excitement. In 1884 he served as a
member of the Nevada Constitutional
Convention. and in 1885 he was elected
district Judge. He made an enviable
record on the bench. In 1859 Judge
Dunno was called TO Washington, where
he was engaged before the Mexican
Claims Commission.
His knowledge Of Spanish law and of
the titles and the Spanish language rem
dered his service very valuable.
He went to Europe in 1870 and in 1872
married Miss Warner, of VicksburR,
Miss, in Paris. In 1874 he was appoint
ed chief justice Of the Arizona court as
a War Democrat or Union man, and as
from Nevada. In 1890 he was q promi-
nent figure In the Catholic Congress in
Baltimore. Mrs. Dunno died in 1888 in
Florida .-..#
Judge Dunno was knighted by Pope
Plus TX, and was also made a COM
mander Of the Order Of st. Gregory.
Pope Leo XIII created him a napal
count, there being only two others in
America honored In q similar manner.
This title IL hereditary and will 60 to his
son, Eugene Dunno, States attorney Of
Baltimore. Judge dunno leaves another
son, Brian, and two daughters, nuns in
Montana.
Judge Dunno spent some Tins in PEN
sacOlA about three years ago, investi-
eating the matter Of colonlSing In that
part Of the State. He was State presi-
dent Of the Ancient Order Of Hibemi-
ans of Florida for q number Of years.

RAISE MORE POULTRYl

One of the strangest of all the strange
things one sees and hears of in Florida
Is the fact that 80 little of the vast guam
tity of poultry produce consumed annual
ly in the State is the product of home
enterprise. II Is quite safe to say that
three-fifths If not four-fifths-of the
entire demand is supplied from abroad
The ease, cheapness and safety with
which poultry products can be produced
throughout the whole Of Northern
Florida, and the enormously high and
constantly increasing prices which pre-
vail throughout this portion, as well as
other sections of the State, should be
enough to give an impetus to the in
dustry which would, in a few years,
almost make the local supply equal to
the demand.
According TO the authority of the
State Commissioner Of Agriculture, the
total product for 1908 was, of fowls,
|, 500, 900 head, or about three to each
inhabitantl The output of eggs was
something like 3, 900, 900 dozen, OF only
about six dozen to each inhabitant!
The absurd discrepancy between supply
and demand is apparent.
Why 10 this condition permitted to
exist2 The farmers and fruitgrowers
Of Florida are Of, at least, average in
telligence How isit that they are ne
glecting 30 rich field Of profit Are
they so accustomed to regard poultry
raising as a mere incident TO the more
important operations that little notice
need be taken Of iti How mistaken Is
such Q viewi
OF course, poultry farming for profit,
~ an exclusive occupation, should be
begun and conducted with great care,
with a complete knowledge Of ell Of its
requirements, with capital enough to
''stRrt right" and with a fund of
patient perseverance which can not be
eliminated from the safe conduct Of
any business. But this appeal Il not
especially addressed to those who de-
sire or intend embaFking in the bust
meas in that manner. Rather would
we plead with the average farmer or

be no great expense. Where he now
grows few fowls for his own use he
could just as well, and almost as
cbeaply, extend the scope Of his oper-
atoms by multiplying his stock and out
put ten, fifteen or twenty times, thus
giving a source Of income which would
soon actually astonish him. The care
Of poultry is more particularly adapted
20 the taste and environment Of the
females and minors Of the average
farmers family. Given, the means en-
larging present operations, and the
prospect Of individual sharing in the in
crease of income, few farmers wives
and children would hesitate to under

present conditions.

IN MEMORlAM.

Since the ass smbling Of the last leg
islative session, DR.. William Forsyth
Bynum, the veteran Chief Clerk Of the
House of Representatives at that time,
has passed TO his eternal rest, and his
memory should be honored in an apprO-
pirate manner by the House now in
session.
DR.. Bynum was Chief Clerk of the
House, with perhaps the exception Of
q single session, for nearly thirty years
He was an honest and faithful officer
and a Christian gentleman He had a
friend In everyone who came in contact
with him and no citizen Of Florida WAS
more honored and beloved in life, or
more sincerely mourned when death
took him from his earthly labors.
It will be strange, indeed, If the
members Of the present House should
fail TO set apart day, or few hours,
to be devoted to suitable tributes to
the memory Of DIR. Bynum, and to pass
resolutions recording his
virtues and preserving the memory Of
his good deeds,

WASHINCTON'S WISDOn.

There was a time when Booker T.
Washington possessed the entire con-
fidence, and even enjoyed large share
Of admiration, on the part of the white
people of the South. His bad break"
in not politely declining the famous
luncheon with the president has changed
much of the feeling towards him into
contempt Nevertheless, it must be
acknowledged that he more fully real
ICES and candidly states the mental and
temperamental limitations Of his race
than any other leader among them.
In a recent syndicate article on "The
South and the Labor Problem" hetest-
ifes to the wide extent and injurious
effect Of the negro disposition to pre-
fer an uncertain existence in a city to a
life of comparative prosperity upon a
farm" and recounts the reasons for
this condition as given to him by the
victims of this strange hallucination
Whether there real, or imaginary,
these reasons are of less moment
than the facts themselves; but Wash
ington wisely sums up 1.-THE duties and
obligations" of his people thus: "Un-
less they realize fnlly the opportunities
that are before them in the South and
seize any chance to improve their
methods of labor, the time will come
when Italians and other foreigners will
attempt to displace them in the labor
work Of the South"
Such mild though wholesome adj
vice as the above will have little effect
in keeping the lazy and pleasure-lOving
negroes away from the precarious ex-
istence in the cities and town TO which
their taste for excitement and easy liv-
ing naturally leads them, and which so
soon develops into Desperate struggle
for sustenance that too often ends in
crime. The Tuskegee leader failed to
mention another, and much more immi-
nent. alternative consequent upon the
almost universal propensity Of the farm
raised negro to ''move TO town"
Exasperated beyond endurance by
this propensity and its inevitable re-
suits, the Lawmakers of the Southern
States are seeking earnestly at each
recurring legislative session for COM
petent remedy for the growing evil.
Many of these bodies have settled upon
the belief that stringent vsgrancy laws
will effect a cure The problem has
been carefully studied, and the expert
ment Is being and will be still more ex-
tensively tried Here in Florida, at
the session just begun, bills for more
effective vagrancy laws will receive the
careful attention Of the Legislature,
and the outcome will be watched with
profound interest by every law-abiding
citizen,

TO the public that It is either accepted
as an incurabIe evil, or regarded as a
huge joke For this mental attitude
the newspapers Of the period are, TO
some extent, responsible Only q few
of them have uniformly denounced this
shady and really disreputsble Occupa-
ton as a foul blot upon our boasted civ
ilizatiOn
No discredit can or need attach to the
efforts Of reputable citizens to procure
the enactment, by legitimate means, Of
such local or general laws as may be
demanded or desired in the interest Of
the public welfare; 1t is not the pernic-
iOus activity Of paid professional pro
moters" TO induce legislators to enact
laws for purely private purposes.
1t is refreshing 10 find a newspaper
that is not afraid or ashamed to speak
out on this vital topic, and we gladly
give space TO the following from the
Tavares Herald:
It Is probable that our Governor
Broward Is the only chief magistrate in
the United States, other than Folk, Of
Missouri, who has the nerve and
strength to forbid lobbying at the State
Capital during the session Of the Legis-
lAture.
There are probably few states that
are not sufferers from the wiles of the
lobbyist We say sufferers advisedly,
for 1t has come about that the lobbyist
plies his trade only in the interest of
schemes which he cannot accomplish by
fair means and straight legitimate leg
islation.
Florida is prominently a victim of
lobbying. Our Statutes are loaded with
special laws and private enactments
that have been passed in the interest of
schemes and local interests that are of
no general benefit to the State.
Lobbying has expanded into regular
profession. The professional lobbyist,
like the professional gambler, is, in
certain localities, always in evidence.
He is paid salary to work, and in the
event Of carrying his point, is given a
handsome bonus.
Why should our legislators be sub
jected TO the influences of these shrewd
and interruptions men?
Suppose our courts should be selected
as q field for the lobbyists operations!
Would his advances be tolerated for a
moment? WHAT would be his fate If an
attempt were made to influence the
courts decision, or the jurOr's> finding,
or the witness testimony?
Why should he be permitted to
tamper with the Legislature any more
than with the courtsH
Will Governor Broward have the
nerve and virility to shut the lobbyists
