Our Friend, the Red Bird.

The editor of the Reporter-Star
writes very strongly in favor of the
red bird, not a bit too strongly, for
we endorse all that he says, and would
add that other places besides Orlando
would do well to encourage this beau
tiful bird to make its home IN their
midst. It is against the law ii kill
red birds, but it should also be made
criminal offense to moselt their
nests or to have them in cages.
A number of the towns in the c., N
try have certain things nf local at
traction by which they lay great store.
lit may be some historical relic or
some great building, or Il famous
river; it may be mountains, lakes.
streets, shade trees. Possibly, as in
certain Florida towns, it may be a
collection of alligators, or ostriches
or possibly the fact that skui. rolls ale
given the freedom OF the town unmo-
Tested or that birds of rare pldmage
or of song find lodgment in the shade
trees of the place.
Orlando, for instance, enjoys re
putaion as place having great
number of the feathered tribe of many
varieties. The stranger who comes
here, before the colder months chase
them farther south, goes wild in his
enthusiasm over the Knockers the
| jays, the doves, the hurllulng birds,
the red birds-and this article is in
spired by the Letter in articular Mr.
Red Bird is the brightest spot ia our
landscape of green, and lis cheerful
spepsia blues. Mockers are so MI
merous that it would be ir'p ):ssihle
| to kill them off or scare them away,
but the red bird has not oeen with US
in great numbers until recently. A
few years we knew of but two or three
pairs in town. DR.. Kilmer tells us
that he counted fifty peirs last year.
At hat rate, if unmolested, the city
will soon be filed with these b...St;
full little fellows, and they will be-
come one of our greatest attractions.
A pair of mating red birds is worth
dollars in intrinsic value, But there
is an enemy abroad in the English
Sparrow, which is just beginning to
find Judgement here also. Two years
ago there was just pjair CIR two Of
these pugnacious enemies 20 other
birds. Today in one uuarte, there IS
whole colony of them. In five
years they will take complete pos.
session and drive out nearly all the
other birds. 1t seems cruel to make
war on the little fellows but bitter
that than they should be the means
of discriminating a much more valu-
able species. Something ought to be
done to protect the birds of value
against those of no value. We speak
for the red bird in articular, because
| it is trying to secure footing here,
and every man, woman, gorl and boy
ought to encourage the birds and the
squirrels to mage their home among
our shade trees and, thus add that
much to our already attractive town.

done as a member of the committee,
though ] had also express authority
to use the proxy in support OF my
resolution. Your reporter had better
opportunity than the writer to know
how many proxies were on file with
the secretary, and how many were
held by Captain Sans, and Mr.. w.
]. BRYAN, and others. ] made no in
quiry on this point, but in the latter
part of the discussion l understood
Captain Sans to say that he had six
proxies which he would vote for my
resolution. i Immediately turned to
Mr.. Stockton, who sat near me and
was opposing my resolution, and told
him that ! did not want the resolu-
ton acted upon by meeting full Of
proxies, and would withdraw it if my
friends wanted me to do so, and, then
upon his request, l Immediately with
drew the resolution.
The writer did not poll the com
mittee, and does not know what
would have been the result of vote
My act in withdrawing the resolution,
instead of being induced by the with.
drawal of the support OF Captain
Sans, as you suggest, was, on the
contrary, induced by the fact that
understood the Captain to say that
he would vote six proxies for the res
olution. This impressed me with the
fact that it was perhaps not repre-
sentative meeting; and as most of the
Opposition came from my friends
whom / knew to be friendly to the
urinary system, the writer withdrew
1.-THE resolution because he thought
that the primary, unlike the tariff
should be reformed by the votes OF
it's friends.
In our county convention of 1900, g
icommittee on platforms and resolu
lions, composed of three, was select
ed. The Hon. Dickson H. Irvine, the
Hon. R. B. Bullock q think, and the
writer, were the members of the com
mittee. The first named gentleman
ransacked the history of the Greek:
in opposition, but the last two report
ed a resolution favoring the primary
system of nomination, which resolu
Ition was adopted by our convention
A few weeks after this the writer
had the honor of sitting as a dele
Igate in the state convention of 1900
where he had the pleasure of seeins
our primary resolution reproduced il
the state platform. Our delegation
was unanimous in supporting thi.
feature of the platform, and there

could be impugned. The Hon. NJ. L
Payne as our member of tie state plat
form committee is entitled t
all credit for his splendid efforts il
support of this feature of the stat,
platform.
In 1900 the writer was in favor o
the primary system of nomination
and he has more reason to be 81
now than then.
What is the matter with my resolu

The Metropolis Wants Expressions
from Leading Democrats as to
the Best and Most Effective
Legislation That Will I'm
prove the System.

The effort made to cripple. If not
kill, the primary system at the meet
ing of the state democratic executive
committee in this city last week
should serve as warning to those
who have championed this method OF
selecting nominees.
The people of Florida do not want
to return to the convention plan, as
was clearly demonstrated at the cleo
ton two years ago, when this propo-
sition was overwhelmingly defeated
I'm every county in the state. Friends
of the primary declared then that the
evils in the law would be corrected,
vet the legislature of 1905 adjourned
without accomplishing anything in this
direction.
II the primary is to stand in Flor
ida, it must be amended, and amend
ed by those who are opposed to the
convention plan of nomination.
Sans Saved II.
II is believed that had Hon. Frank
Sans voted his six proxies at yes
terday's meeting in favor of con-
yention, the resolution introduced by
w. A. Hooker, which was intended as
n blow to the primary, would have
PASSED. When Mr.. Sans, who was con-
sidered not especially in love with the
primary, stated that he would not
vote either way, Mr.. Hooker with
drew his resolution and the matter
ended. It was close call at any rate,
but friends of the primary won, be-
cause of the business of the position
taken, which convinced Mr.. Sans that
the people did not want convention.
Must Be Amended.
The state primary law must be
amended at the next session of the
legislature and the changes to be
made must be radical if the system
is to continue in this state.
The Metropolis only desires those
changes that will perfect the system
and prevent the corrupting influence
that now goes with every election
The grafters must positively be pro
hibited from paying their political
buns money for alleged work.
A Necessary Amendment.
One amendment that seems very
important and one that should by al
means he made that every voter be
made to pay his poll tax in person
and that the collector be prohibited
from receiving it from any other
source. The political bub may be given
two dollars to pay mis- poll tax, but
most of them would spend it for rum
before they could get to the collect
or's Office, in which case of course
they could not vote.
Various Propositions.
There are various propositions
urged to correct the many evils and
the Metropolis, from time to time
will publish letters from leading
democrats throughout Florida, giving
their views as to the best remedy tC
be adopted. To those familiar with
the conditions and who are interested
i'm these matters, The Metropolis ex
tends an invitation to give their
views through this paper. We want
letters from true and tried democrats
The opinions of known grafters are
not wanted and will be rejected.-Me

nothing to do.
81 am aware that arguments may
be found, which may twist thread
of politics into the cord OF religious
duties. So may they for every other
branch of human art or science. Thus,
for example, it is a religious duty to
obey the laws of our country; the
teacher of religion, therefore, must in
struct us in the laws, that we may
know how to obey them. 1t is a reli-
gious duty to assist our sick neigh
bors; the preacher must, therefore,
teach us medicine, that we may do 1t
Understandings 1t is religious duty
to preserve our own health; our reli-
gious teacher, then, must tell US what
dishes are wholesome, and give US
recipes in cookery, that we may learn
how TO prepare them. And so, ingenu-
ity, by generalizing more and more,
may amalgamate all the branches Of
science into any one of them, and the
physician who is paid TO visit the sick,
may give sermon instead OF medi-
cine, and the merchant TO whom
money is sent for a hat, may send a
handkerchief instead CT it. But, not
withstanding this possible confusion
of all sciences into one, common sense
draws the line between them sufi-
GENTLY distinct for the general pur-
poses of life, and no one is at loss
to understand that recipe in medi-

that of the Mother. Much as these
painters did, it remained for Raphael
to give the theme Of Childhood its
noblest expression, and to paint the
Madonna and Child time and again.
Like flowers in garden, in spite of
their numbers. they nave no SUCCESS
ton Of monotony. They are possessed
of so many moods and feelings.
The most cherished Of these are the
Madnna delta di Foligno. the Madon-
no della Seggiola and the Madonna di
Sin Sisto. In the Madonna detti iii
Foligno there is a playfulness about
the Child as though . he wished to
break loose from his mothers arms
for merry play. In the Mother di Sin
Sisto the mother does not hold the in
FAINT to her, but rather. as though she
would give Him to humanity saying,
HE Is your King: receive Him."
But the simplicity and serenity Of
child life is depicted with consum-
mate skill in the Madonna della Seq
giola; the child rests in his mothers
arms as though he felt her devotion
and love. Tranquility is the keynote
of their countenances, though the
Baby Johns face is full Of sorrow.

he assumed the prerogatives Of his

The teacher had been making an eff

evil Of overindulgence in certain bever-

"All those who drink coffee for their
breakfast may stand" she said.

Beautiful Picture Of Christ Child

and the Madonna are surrounded by
lovely cherubs. Two Of them are plac-
ing a crown on the head of the Ma
donna, while the Christ-Child looks
toward his mother with yearning and
inspiration.
Remarkably different from those OF
his predecessors are the representa-
lions of Andrea del Sarto. His Christ
Child. like many of his other master
pieces, possesses remarkable beauty,
but they usually lack the soul-like
beauty which the great painter did
not possess. The exception to this is
found in the Madonna del Aepi, which
Is in the Uffizi gallery. There Is a
Joy and purity in the expression OF
the Child and Mother, as well as the
Angels at either side, that give SUI
perb tone to the picture.
The great Corregio treated this
same theme similarly; his angels are
always portrayed with grace. charm
and smiling faces. But it is in the
Virgin with the Infant and the As
sumption OF the Virgin that he Great
ed his two great master paintings. In
the first picture the mother kneels In
adoration; her head is bowed and her
hands are raised in prayer. The soft
light from the child is reflected On ner
countenance. No less beautiful Is the
Assumption of the Virgin. The pic
ture represents the Madonna and her
child waited neavenward in blissful
ecstasy; sweet-faced cherubs follow
in their train, thrilled with feeling
Of glory and joy.
No less loving, though more con-
ventionally treated, are the Virgin
and the Child (by Qornio) and the
Mother with her Infant and Angels
(by Lorenzo di Cred). In these paint
ings the Child looks older and less
human. This effect is heightened by
the nimbus about his head and around
