r. HUDSON BURR.

Four years ago, r. Hudson Burr was
nominated by the Democrats of Florida
and elected as a member of the State
Railroad Commission. Mr.. Burr, at the
time Of his announcement, was entirely
unknown to the people of the State
He was engaged in mecantile business
in Dade county. Mr.. Burr's campaign
was managed by Guy l. Metclfe, and it
was a hummer, from start to finish
He issued platform and code of prin-
ciples, and published them in every pa
per in the State (at advertising rates.
that would sell him the space. Many Of
the most dyed-in-the-wool corporation
newspapers refused to publish his plat
form, even as advertising matter, and
ridiculed his candidacy.
As an opponent he had Henry p. Day.
of GAINESVILLE, former agent for the
Seaboard Air Line railway, and a man
who "stood well' with the corporation
interests who did everything to secure
his nomination.
Volusia was one of the few equities
in the State that failed to give Mr..
Burr a majority.
In his platform, published before his
nomination, he pledged the voters that
he would favor a three cent passenger
fare. At the time Of his nomination,
the railroads were charging from to 8
cents per mile. Following Burr's nom
nation and election, two Of the railroads
of the State voluntarily reduced the
passenger fare to cents per mile-not
waiting for Burr's order to do so. After
his election, one Of the first acts of the
Railroad Commission was to order the
reduction of the passenger fare to cents
per mile The commission has also re-
classified freight shipments, has COM
PEELED the erection of depots. forced the
railroads to make better connections,
and otherwise rendered great service
to the people.
At the time of Burr's election, the
lumber interests of the State were, al
most to a man, opposed TO the State
Railroad Commission, because of its in
anity. Today our lumber interests would
pay the entire costs of the State Rail-
road Commission before they would see
it abolished.
When Burr was elected, our people
paid 50. 80 to go from DeLand TO Jack
sonville and return; two months after
Burr's election they made the same trip
for $6.70-a saving of about 30 per cent
Burr's election puts 81. 20 into the pock-
cts Of every man who travels from De-
A4hllu W OAChbOiiNillC dAlu
From this one would judge that the
people of DeLand would rise up and call
Burr blessed that they would appreci-
ate what he did for them. They had a
chance on May Is to show their appre-
citation. How did they do IL? They
went to the polls, and out of 276 votes
cast, Burr received 100, or about one
third!
What does this mean? Are our peo-
pie opposed to lower freight and pas
senger fares?
Are we unappreciative? Have we no
sense of gratitude for the public official
or the private citizen who fearlessly does
his duty3
Or do we just vote as the corporation
gang who controls Volusia county tells
us 70 vote7
Let each voter decide for himself.
Let him ask himself, "why did vote
as did!"--UeLand Record.

WEALTH THE NEW ROYALTY.
Potentates Lees Powerful Than the
 Multi -Miiiionaires.

Chicago. June 16-"If the possession of the most money Is to denote the hest man in America-and 1t looks very much as If 1t were-then a disre- gard of ethical distinction is likely to become characteristic of the popular mind. for the suspicion is rapidly gath ering in the average man that all wealth Is tainted" said the Rev Jud- son Ellsworth. of Milwaukee. in his address before the gradua,es of the Chicago Art Institute yesterday.
 "The greatest questions which so- ctetv has to handle to day lie in great accumulations of wealth. Wealth has hecome a new royalty. The throned notentate may nowadays have less power than the multi-millionaire whose father may have been laboring man? The aristocracy of wealth Is doing away with social distinction.
 "The line of success in life is not tbA line which divides the Successful from the unsuccessful man if we de- finn success as wealth. The distinc- lions Is between making n living and living a life worth living"

Stevenson. ex-Vice-President | Of the United States. and Henry Wat terson made the chief addresses. | Several prominent Kentuckians. in cluding General s. s.

The remnants of the cab in in which Abraham Lincoln was born have stood all week in the park and the 1 addresses of today delivered as they were in the shadow of his boyhood' home. dwelt largely with the story of | his life.
 MT. watterson dwelt largely with concrete facts in the life of Lincoln, saying among other things:
 There is one thing which it seems proper on this occasion to say touch | ing the doubt often cast upon the act l ual paternity of Abraham Lincoln, and that is that there Is not and never has been a shadow of evider-e or reason able conjecture of any sort to support | 1t. Those who repeat 1t, or discuss 1t merely betray their own ignorance, if they do not display a vicious tendency l rNancy Hanks was a modest we'll reared young woman.

IMMIGRANTS ILL TREATED.
License Commissfoner of New York
 Makes Charges in Report.

Makes Charees in Report.
 New York, June 16-That Italian inn migrants and other laborers sent to the South and West by New York pad rones are the victims of cruel treat ment and repression is one of the state ments male by License Commissioners John N Bogart in the annual report of the work of the office. which he sub mitted today to Mayor Mcclellan. Mir. BoRart reported:
 The Italian immigrants are too gen. erally the victims of the padroness It is characteristic of the Italian immi- grant that he looks with suspicion on every body nut his own countrymen and fin him he puts a confidence that is almost increditable. The padrones has practically instituted slave sys- tenn among his countrymen. He hires the immigrants by the hundred to go out of the city to work on contracts and obtains from the employing corpo- ration what is known as commissary privileges; that is. he furnishes the workmen the food and lodging, deduct ing the cost from their wages
 As the radrone is the sole arbitra- tor of the cost of those necessaries. 1t can be gained how much the ignorant immigrant obtains as the ne. result of his labor. In recent cases brought 10 the attention of the commissioner of licenses, 1t was shown that hundreds Of Italian immigrants who believed they were going to Philadelphia or Pitts burg were really landed in the swamps of Florida and the wilds of North Caro- lima, where they were on railroad con struction work under the surveillance of armed guards until they became too sick to be of value. when they were turned loose to make their way pack to New York 1s best they could.

President of the Gaelic League in Ireisnd. and Mrs. Hyde. sailed for their home in Ireland yesterday on the White L.ne steamer Celtic pr Hyde took back with him check for sso,- 900 to aid the cause of the Gaelic League in Ireland This sum was raised at the public meetings that Dr. Hyde addressed during his visit of seven months. Before sailing Dr. Hyde said:
 T have found nothing except gem erous welcome in America. I travelled 1s000 miles. visited over sixty cities. and explained the cause of the Irish language to perhars so,o00 persons. I have not heard a single word that was not favorable to our cause. under- stand now, as never before. how great is this country and how numerous, strong and powerful are the Irish who are in It.
 There is a greet likeness between the people of Ireland and this country I would sooner have the good will of this country than anything else in the struggle to bring back the language, music and customs of Ireland"
 number of pr. Hyde's friends here raised s250O to buy him a motor car for use in his work in Ireland. This fund was to have been presented to pr. Hyde Thursday. hut he declared he could not depart from the rule of his life not to accept any personal re- ward for his services to the Gaelic League and in behalf of Irish unity.

 Harp and Eternal e .. yPerdftion.

Chicago, June t6.-sIogic Elirnina- tion.v of the criminal. not capital pun ishment. but simply puttina out of the way a menace to society. was the plan advocated by Dr. c. Frank Lydston. of the College of Physicians and Sur geons last night at the Westside Audi torium. To this he added that the child primarily has not moral sense. Is a little animal. almost little monkey. and can, if let alone. use its toes as fingers as we'll as any of its similar ancestors.
 He asserted the child for some time has a dog conscience" It realizes there Is a spanking at one side and candy at the other and by this guides its conduct. Later there Is a golden crown and harp on one side and perdi- ton on the other" and the child Is taught to keep the same sort of dog conscience'' in some cases.
 Any one, almost, if he or shells not a raving lunatic. can get marriage license That Is the first cause" said Dr. Lydston. "A child of parents whs have nothing to give 1t but sickness or, worse. some disease. some mental taint or physical deformity which warps It's mind. cannot compete in the world. He cannot understand 1t. Sup pose his parents die. There Is that child left alone to make his way. He must live. Honestly, if he can. if he can understand what 1t means. but he must live. S0iety does not do any thing for him until he steals, and then 1t locks him up. and If there Is any thing lacking in his criminal educa- tion, the penal institution rerfects 1t.
 We have had capital punishment for years but still crime Is slowly on the increase and so Is insanity. If man is a hopeless criminal degenerate don't punish him in hate; make him the sub ject of logical elimination It is bet ter for him and vastly more so for the community"

 London. June 16.--The report of pr Thomas, the Medical Officer of the Bor oush of stepney. to the local Govern ment Board. show that his department during the last i've years has destroyed over ton of rotten timed foods al the Stepncy wharves.
 These, he adds, were not American goods. as practically no canned goods from American concerns are imported through the Stepney wharves. but were colonial meat. fish and fruit.
 The medical officer says he found New Zealand raspberries treated with sul- phur in order to preserve them. On their arrival in England. tho raspb IT, ries were soaked in m anaiint bath tr restore their color. He considers that diseased meat once canned will easily defy detection and that a strict exam ination of the carcasses at the time of slaughterins is the only means of pro tection.
 Dr. Thomas incidentally asks what becomes of the tongues of the great numbers of horses slaughtered yearly in London. He says he has never seen a horse tongue exposed for sale and labeled as horses tongue. He urges that increased powers be given to the public health departments.
