Ex-Governor Odell, Of New York,
very aptly and wisely remarks that
Hearst comes out of the fight a
stronger and more dominant figure
in his party than when he entered
it." OF course he does. 1t seems to
us a blind man can see that far.
when you consider" says the ex-
governor, that all the newspapers
were against him, excepting his own;
that he was numerically cut by the
leaders whom he had offended, and
that he was actively fought by every
resource pf the corporations, you can
realize What a remarkable run he
made. 1t certainly demonstrates that
he is a man Of force and ability.

reckon with"

MONUMENT TO WIRz.

There is still some discussion 60
Ing on casually as to the propriety of
rof the Daughters of the Confederacy
erecting a monument to Wirz, the
officer In charge of the Andersonville
prison during the latter years of the
war. The proposition is decidedly
distasteful TO the people of the north.
They have regarded Wirz for almost
half a century as a monster, a cruel
brute In human form. 1t must be
conceded that those who have read
the proceedings of the court by which
he was condemned and by whose or
Or he was executed that there was
some justification for that opinion.
kor forty years the judgment pro-
hounced and the opinion since held
has not been seriously questioned.
For the proposition now TO spring sud
denly into the air that Wirz should
have a monument erected 10 his mem
DRY by the women descendants of
the soldiers who took the field and
fought I'm those days instead Of seek
ing bombprOof position is some
thing grotesque.
II Is generally supposed that monu-
ments are erected TO great and good
men and IL will not be denied that
outside Of the Pennsylvania state
house most OF them are dedicated to
heroes who won their renown in
arms. Under none of these categories
does WiTz come. He was neither
great nor good and he was certainly
hlo hero-Or at least not regarded as
one by the men who were at the
front while he held command over a
Sprison yard. The measure OF Wirz S
actual guilt was not taken fairly or
dispassionately. 1t is not at all prob.
able that his life should have paid
the forfeit for the abuses of which
he was guilty directly, or by omis
sion To do his duty.
At the moment the passionate feel
ing at the north demanded his exc
cution as an atohement for the suf
ferings on the spot of which he was
in charge. II is possible the sacrifice
may have been in a manner and to a
degree unjust. Those conditions are
not to the point. On the whole it
is not advisable nor in good taste fol-
a monument to be erected to a man
identified so unhappily with the worst
phase of the war and in which it was
impossible for him TO win glory or re-
nown.-Tampa Times.

Seldom has newly announced be-
nevolence been received with such
glad approval as was the announce
ment that Mrs. Zeigler, widow of the
late millionaire, has endowed new
magazine devoted especially to the
blind. The announcement must have
made the poor blind people leap
with joy. The blind are peculiarly
sad, over and above any sadness
that clings to other persons afflicted
physically in any way. A group of
deaf and dumb persons are nearly
always chatting and laughing over
their fingers; but the groups Of blind
one meets alwayas look as though the
heavy burden Of their woes was al
ways pressing YEARLY upon their
spirits, and giving them no show at
the merry and interesting things Of
life. The letting down of the heavy
curtain between them and the world
shuts out the pleasure Of literature.
Others can feel that they have a
friend that will not desert them when
they are in toruble, for they can al
ways open the pages of a good book,
and find that friend just the same to-
day, as it was yesterday, with no re-
proaches for faults, or errors, or even
crimes But the books devoted to the
blind are few and far between and
mostly not entertaining. But here
comes a magazine-fresh and bright.

edge that seeing persons find abso-

Canadian View of Hearst,

Now that the excitement and hys
terra of the New York state elections
are subsiding, the situation can be
discussed with calmness, and per
haps with profit. The leading and
really only prominent figure in the
contest was Mr.. Hearst, and almost
every vote was cast either to elect OF
defeat him. That man possessing
none of the magnetic qualities OF
leadership, without ability as a speak.
er or as a, writer, lacking the person
al qualities that the American people
are inclined to demand in their pub
lie men, and without a record OF
distinguished service in any impor-
tant public or private capacity, has
been able to force himself on an I'M
willing party shake and disrupt the
firmest party allegiance, and win a
vote that alarmed not only the state
but the republican and financial cen
tiers of Europe is a stubborn fact.
The fact that Mr.. Hearst fell be-
hind the vote of his party does not
lessen the significance of his cam
paign. His support was mainly of
the class that adheres closely to
party allegiance, while his opponents
were largely the classes who regard
nartipS as a means tO ends Party
influence told against rather than for
the Hearst campaign. He made him.
self power in American politics by
voicing, in the wild extravaganza of
his newspapers, the deep discomfort of
the American people, and by rushing,
with the needless and Intellectual Gag,
erness they are inclined to admire,
into legal battles with trusts and com.
bines that defy the law. That the
spirit Of revolt among the American
people should accept such mouth,
pieces and such a champion shows
that discomfort is deep, that antagon
ism is bitter, and that among a dan
gerously large class despair has de-
stroyed all sense of political response
bility. The folly of closing our eyes
to this situation is shown by the
we'll founded alarm which Mr.
Hearst's campaign has inspired To

Special to the Ocala Banner:

But frosts came unusually early this

SOCIETY OF THE ARMY OF THE
POTOMAC WILL VISIT THE
JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION.
,ecial to the Ocala Banner:

Special to the Ocala Banner:
Norfolk, Va. Nov. 16.-The James
town TerCentennial Exposition will
be the mecca of visiting organizations
that will embrace every diversifcation
of our multifarious American life.
These bodies WHICH represent the
energy, the industry. the associated
worth of our country. will, for the
most part, hold their annual reun-
| ions and conventions on the spot hal
| lowed by so many historic memories.
and those who had previously made
arrangements to meet elsewhere will
include a visit to the Exposition in
their itenerary.
| Amang the organizations that will
take this pleasant outing there is
none that will excite more interest
or receive a more hearty welcome
than the Society of the Army of the
| Potomac.
This organization is made up OF
veterans who served In the army OF
the Potomac during the civil war.
and their present purpose Is that one
Of all most dear to the chivalrous heat
of soldier-to keep alive the mem
cries of their campaigns.
| During the spring OF 1907 the Socie-
| ty of the Army OF the Potomac will
unveil a monument in Washington,
d. c., to one of it's ablest commanders,
Gen. Geo. B. Mcclellan. AS the Oc-
casion will evoke a full measure OF
the long cherished fondness and ad-
miration for Little Mac" which his
soldiers always retain, the ceremon-
les attending the unwilling will
doubtless draw full number.
But the old soldiers will not be
content to limit their visit to the ma
tional capital A trip down the Po-
tomac to the jamestown Ter-Centen-
nal Exposition will bring them near
to the scenes of nearly half a CEN
fury ago when youth and valor sus-
tanned them in hardy enterprise.
What an optimistic aspect the
events of 1876 now present to
view. The cultured thought of the
country is indiscriminate in bestow-
ing praise on the men who wore the
colors Of those days. The Blue and
the Gray are associated together on
the record of renown and the survi-
vors Of the contest have long since
forgotten the embitterments. The
cordial salutation and war grasp Of the
hand is now the form of greeting and
these veterans who followed McCleIl-
an will be cheered by the remnant of
those who followed Lee.
They are passing away rapidly
these brave soldiers of nearly half
a century ago. The Gray and the
Blue of 1876 are swiftly becoming
a memory, a "reminiscences. No other
such opportunity will ever recur as
that which the jamestown Exposition
will give for these valiant old men
to meet and fraternize, to talk over
the drastic happenings at Fredericks-
burg and Manassas, and to congratu-
late each side the other that they
= have lived long enough to see real,
genuine, irrefragable friendship re-
formed and re-established.
