Governor Broward returned last
night from Jacksonville where he
had been to vote. do you concede
the defeat of the amendment" II
asked him this morning. 81 don't con-
cede anything, but it looks like it
was lost" he answered with smile.
Just then Mr.. L'Engle came in and
shook hands with him and said:
Well, how do you feel, governor"
mot quite as bad as Biddy's hus-
band, Pat, after his fight. She said he
was fnsinsible and spachless and
kept crying, water water"
The governor looks worn from his
arduous campaign; naturally he feels
! the defeat of the amendment keenly
He has made a magnificent campaign
and bears himself like a man in de-
feat.
at is easy enough to be pleasant,
When life flows like song,
But the man who is worth while is
the man who will smile
When everything goes dead wrong"
Governor Broward is just such a
man, and as 1 left he turned to write
his Thanksgiving proclamation with
as large faith in the God of Things
as They Are, as he would have had,
had the result Of the election been
different
Judge Ion L. Farris has resigned
from the Office of justice of the
peace of the tenth district, Duval
county, and L. D. Howell has been
appointed to fill the vacancy. This Of
\ flee is of considerable Importance in
Duval county and pays about $4,000
a year. Judge Farris, who is Mar
ion county boy, Cat least he was
few years ago), was elected Tuesday,
representative to the legislature from
Duval county and as the law does not
allow man to hold any other Office
while serving in the legislature he
rendered his resignation the day fol-
lowing the election.
| Judge Farris is a conspicuous ex-
ampe of what young man with am
bition, energy and brains can accom-
plish. With no other capital he has
within the short space of five years
| worked his way to the front rank
| and is known throughout the state as
one of the most promising young law
lyers in Florida.
H The result of the election in New
York comes nearer to my idea of

thing that could have happened. 1t
was not a democratic defeat, but
merely reputation of Mr.. Hearst.
Certainly the sacrifice of the gov
ernorship of New York to the per-
sonal ambition of one man is rather
colossal, but if it will have the eff
feet of retiring the ambitious Mr..
Hearst it will be worth all that it. has
cost
The deplorable condition of the
democratic party outside of the south
is due to just such folly. Until DEM
ocrats came back to conversation in
men and measures the party will
grow in disrepute. Reduced to last
analysis the party is continually sac
Irifced to the personal selfish ambi-
ton of such scourages as Hearst and
Bryan.

property of the clubs librarian, an aged
ex-leader, now retired who, deprived of
three fingers of his right hand some
years ago, conceived the idea of a re-
versed scale, to give him a full handed
play over the important register. The
queer keyboard was the cause of
laugh ON Victor Herbert, at an Informal
