The Florida Legislature win meet

With Massey out of the way for
president of the Senate, the race mar
rows down TO Trammell, of this county,
and West, of Santa Rosa county. II is
not improbable, however, that there
will be another Richmond in the field
before the Senate is organized, the
fact that both the remaining candidates
are classified with the same political
faction adding to the probability of
new name being presented. Lakeland
News.
Some of the papers are making a
big howdy-do about how magnani-
mously Governor Broward appointed
Senator Taliaferro to fill the short
term till the meeting Of the State Leg
islature. What a mess It would have
been had he appointed anybody else!
1t is an affront to the Governors in
tellgence to suggest that he might
have even momentarily considered so
grave an assault on the primary sys-

Senator John Neel, of Holmes and
Walton counties, Is in favor of Confed-
crate veterans being pensioned, and in
an open letter addressed to the people
Of his district, urges them to furnish
him with the names of those who are
entitled to pensions, and he will do all
in his power to have them placed on
the pension list. Senator Neel is a
worker and a man who looks after the
interests of the people, and as such is
the business Senator and an old standby
for the people of his district.-Jasper
News.
Hon. B. E. McLin, Florida's very
efficient Commissioner of Agriculture,
should ask the Legislature to give him
an appropriation to have printed and
distributed 100, 900 cOpies of the des-
criptive pamphlet Of the State recently
issued from his Office. 1t would mean
so, 900 additional families located amGng

If the Everglades can be drained
and the lands reclaimed it will throw
upon the market 100000 acres Of the
richest lands in the State. If these
lands ever become so that they can be
there will be seen down there vast
fields of sugar cane and thousands of
acres of vegetables that can be grown
the year round, for the frost will hardly
ever damage the tenderest plant grow
ing in that section. -DeLand Record.
Hon. Robert w. Davis, the able rep
resentative from the Second Florida
Congressional District for so many
years, is once more a private citizen,
his term having expired with the end
ing of the Congress last week. "Our
Bob" will re-enter actively into the
practice of law at his old home, Pa
latka, and we wish for him plenty of
clients with big fees. Madison New
Enterprise.
Suppose a newspaper man, every
time he hears a man criticise him or
his paper in public should retaliate by
holding up to public gaze the faults
and short comings of said fault finder,
what would be the result? The editor
may not know it all, but he does not
live in q community long without know
ing a dueced sight more than he pub
fishes. Did you ever think of it?-High
Springs Hornet.
We do not believe that Governor
Broward had an opponent in the prim-
aries but who, (since he is elected)
wishes him the best of success. Before
the primaries the News was against
Governor P .oward, for it thought and
still thinks that other candidates were
better qualified for the honor; however,
after the second primary when the
people said Broward was the man; we
were willing to support the nominee,
and contrary to what the Advertiser
says, we are glad Governor Broward
has started out in the right way
