Hearst's Reply
To Secretary Roots Attack.

The remarkable attack made by
Secretary Root, speaking for Presi-

candidate for governor of New York

whether it's effect will be to help or
hurt Mr.. Hearst can only be conjec-

Mr.. Hearst's reply is characters.
jtic of the man and is as spicy as or
binary English can well be made to
read. The reply was made through
his afternoon paper, the New York
Journal, and is as follows:
The readers of this newspaper
scarcely need be told that Root, Sec
rotary of State, drawing a salary
from the American people, and act
ing as the servant of Ryan and any
trust that will hire him, Is opposed
to the election of William Randolph
Hearst
aFor a long time We have said suf-
ficiently plain what the people think
lof Root. the Tweed lawyer and the
| Ryan lawyer, and what they think
Of his presence in the office of the
secretary of state, which has been
filled before him by honorable men.
In his speech last night at Utica
speech in which he endeavored to
earn Ryan's money by attacking
Ryan's enemy, Hearst, he was inter
rupted by citizens in his audience

trying to earn his fee by exploiting
the memory and the tragic death OF
an honored man.
Those who, according to the New
York World and the New York Press,
interrupted him and told him to LEI
the dead rest in peace had little
knowledge of the character of Root
the corporation rat.
| As the rat burrows in any grave,
so Root would desecrate any grave
if Ryan told him to and paid him to-
Root had the impertinence to com
pare Hughes, the corporation lawyer,
with Lincoln and Webster.
Does Root imagine that Lincoln OF
Webster had anything in common
with the money-greedy trust lawyers,
Hughes or Root?
Does anybody imagine that Lin

LOVES LAST SONG.

o that the years had been lived in quiet.
0 that the past were place of peacei
But here, my dear, let fancy riot
Soon comes the shadow when life shall
ceasei
Lean your pale lips;
The old story repeat;
They were red as the MAY
With the first kiss, sweet.
o that we never had supped with
Dwelt in the ashes of bitter years,
We live to-day and we lose tomorrow
Soon comes the shadow that hides all
tears.
Yet. lean your pale lips
Have they whispered In vain?
Once they were red
AS roses in rain!
What do they know in the paths Of duty,
or the souls that joyed and the hearts
that bled?
Soon comes the silence that chills all
F.. Soon comes the dark where the dreams
fall dead!
Yet, give me your lips
As in youth time so fair,
And hide me from God
In the gold of your hair.
You are my own-still; and God is above
you;
He sways the life-tides as tides of the
sea-
All that I know of His heaven waste
love you.
Love has made earth as sweet as
heaven to me!
Lean down your pale lips
The dim eyes that weep;
! thank you for heaven
So kiss me to sleep!

ALL SORTS.
THE VACANT ROOM.

How often, In despair and gloom,
Uncertain feet have crossed TINS ROOM,
How oft some impulse high has step
ped.
Then sank so low that angels wept!
What prisoned souls have beat In VAN
Against this little window pane,
And looked abroad and seen the Worlo
Stream by, while their poor sails were
furled!
Some girl, mayhap, in whose wide eyes
Old Sorrow sat with young surprise:
Or patient mother, In whose breast
He long had been a frequent guest,
The stripping with flames bubble ploWn
Before he leaped to stand alone;
The wife, mismated, sad to scan
What parodies are made on man,
Could such walls speak, then men no
more
Upon the printed page need pore;
For every place where life has breatneo
Has precious legacieS bequeathed.
The bitter cup that all must drink.
The draught from which all men must
shrink,
Believe me- friend, care not where,
In palace proud, or howell bare,
Has been drunk deep In every room
Man occupies-eXcept the tomb!

Huge Bridge Adrift.

We are familiar with many different
kinds of moving. Even Office build
ings are moved in these days But
when 10000 tons of steel begins to
move Of its own accord, 1t is a very
difficult matter to prevent it from
going as far as 1t wishes, says Henry
Hale, In Technical World Magazine
for November He then describes the
drifting of the big Williamsburg
bridge that stretches across the East
River, New York This great bridge
cost, approximately, 90 million dol.
lars; and owing to an accident and
fire, 1t has started to drift down
stream. Some of the most noted
bridge engineers and constructors in
the world have been called to make
an examination Of the structure, but
are at a loss to know what to do to
prevent it from further shifting. Ow
| ing to the great strain upon the cables
cause by the movement, It is impossl
BILE to use the bridge except for or
binary traffic, and no railroad cars
of any kind are allowed to cross 1t
as 1t is feared the vibration anC
weight might cause portion or the

The Stone Seat.

The dragons on the back look fierce,
and glare,
But they don't mean It. it is just
their way
To ramp like that, and curl their tails
with rage,
For they would never hurt a child,
they say.
Sometimes their big stone eyes Just
fairly shine
With love, when they see me-
they're friends of mine.
They tell me stories OF the olden time
When quaint old by-gone sweet
hearts used to meet
And look like pictures on the Best
Room wall,
Here on my messy, carved old
marble seat
They say in those old days, folk
pranked 1t fine"
And | believe them, for they're
friends of mine
They say, those dragons queer,
there'll come day
When / will be picture, too, and
wear
A long white gown, and kneeling at
my feet
viii be fairy prince, with golden
hair.
And whether then to take him OF
decline
| I'll ask my dragons, for they're
friends of mine.

Florida News Bureau
Again Heard From.

Like a voice from the grave. but
innocent and bland as the proverbial
smile of the heather Chinee. there
comes message from the almost for
gotten Florida News Bureau. It will
be remembered that the state press
pretty generally repudiated this Jack
sOnville intelligence organization,
whose source Of support was so care
fully guarded from the public eye,
and We had begun to think that it
had gone out Of business long ago.
1t seems to have reserved, however,
an even more appropriate time for
making its little shuttle into oblivion,
and announces its intention in the fol-
lowing delicately worded epistle:
FLORIDA NEWS BUREAU.
Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 30, 1906.
To the editor: From trustworthy
Information received from nearly
every section of the state. it now ap-
pears that the drainage amendment
will most certainly be rejected at the
polls in the November election; the
Florida News Bureau will therefore
be closed after tbs date. Please
take the Bureau address from your
mailing list, and accept the sincere
thanks of the manager and the op
ponents OF the amendment for the
courtesy of the exchange, as well as
for the valuable assistance you have
rendered in the campaign.

POORLY PAID
CRIMINAL COURT JUDGES.
Jacksonville Metropolis.

In our issue of October 18th we
spoke editorially in favor of the pas
sage of the proposed constitutional
amendment which provides for an in
crease in the salaries of the Supreme
and Circuit Court judges-from $4,000
to $4,000 for the Supreme Court
judges and from $2,75O to $500 for
the Circuirt Courts. We heartily advo-
cate the passage of this amendment.
Now, we wish to speak in favor of the
passage Of another amendment, one
which, in fairness and justice, the
people with one accord and without
hesitancy ought by all means to vote
for-this is, the one which provides
for an increase of the salaries of the
Criminal Court judges, or rather an
equalization of the salaries Of these
judges. This amendment provides
for the equitable adjustment of these
salaries, as follows: In counties of
less than $4,000 population, $1,000; in
counties from $4,000 to $4,000 popula-
ton, 81 800; in counties of from $4,000
to $4,000 population, $4,000; and it
should be understood by the voters
that the salaries of the Criminal
Court judges, under the present law,
are the same in all the counties,
those of small as well as great popu-
lation. Under the present law there are
as many criminals tried in one term
of some of the courts as are tried in
year by other Criminal Courts.
Take our own Criminal Court for
instance. There are from 100 to IT'S
cases disposed of every term, and
there are six terms annually. The
salaries are alike for all of the Grim
inal Courts, namely, $1,000. We ven
ture the assertion that the judges or
these courts in the largest populated
of our counties are the most made
quately paid judicial officers in the
United States. This is a sweeping
statement but could very well be verb
fed with statistics.
We are impelled to write this edi-
torial that the voters may know the
exact status concerning these courts
and the salaries of their judges, fully
satisfied that, knowing the inadequacy
of these salaries, the voters will rec
tlfy the evil which has long existed.
The Duval county Criminal Court was
organized about twenty years ago,
with a $1,000 salary, and although the
population has several times doubled
since then, greatly increasing the
work of these courts, the salary Is
the same to-day as it was in the be
ginning.
1t matters not that these judges
poorly paid as they are, give their ut
most endeavors to faithfully perform
their duties, be the salary ever sc
small, the people cannot AFFORD to al
low their judicial officers to serve
them without at least fairly just
compensation.

REAL INSPIRATION.

There is doubtless inspiration
In a charming ladys smile
Or bit of rural landscape
Or perhaps rustic stile.
For poet or painter
Things like these the void may I'LL
But for strong, true inspiration
Try a twenty dollar bill.
In q storm upon the ocean
When the waves are mountain high,
In a daisy by the wayside,
In village beauty's eye
Those who draw and paint may gather
Inspiration from these springs,
But Just try them with good money,
And they'll pass the other things.
When a poet in a frenzy
Raves about a lock of hair,
Or goes dotty DER mill pond,
Soaring in the upper air,
You can bring him to his senses
From the high poetic flight
With a bunch of ready money
Dangled carelessly in sight.
There is rapture in a sunset
AS the shades of night grow dim,
But it will not feed the baby
Or buy pinafores for him.
In an ecstacy ecStatic
We may witness the event,
But the cruel, naughty landlord
Will not take 1t on the rent.

Prohibit ANY More
Wooden Sidewalks.

IL Pensacola needs one thing more
than another just now in the matter
of public improvements it is better
sidewalks and more of them.
But Pensacola never can have bet
ter sidewalks until we do one thing,
viz: cut out and prohibit the building
of wooden walks in every part of the
city.
Wooden sidewalks are not only
poor excuses for the purpose for
which they are intended but they are
unsanitary as well. They rot and de-
cay themselves and they catch and
conceal every kind of filth imagin-
able. Dead rats, mice, chickens,
snakes, dirt and filth and disease of
every kind, find a natural and con-
venient hiding place in wooden
sidewalk and the latter could not be
kept clean or free of disease and filth
even il an attempt were made to that
effect. They are dangerous also to
life and limb and a prolific source of
damage suits against the city by peo-
pie who suffer injuries while walking
on them
If Pensacola expects to become a
city, in all that the word means. she
must divest herself of her village toys
and assume metropolitan clothes and
customs. The first thing to get rid
of then is her disreputable wooden
sidewalks :.
The life of a wooden sidewalk is
not more than five years at the most
If therefore the city council were
to pass on ordinance prohibiting the
further construction of such walks
the city in five years would be free
of them entirely.
We can't begin any too soon to gel
into the habit of doing things right
Why not begin to do the sidewalR
proposition right not later than Janu
ary 1, next? 1t is up to the council
10 set the pace.

The old true lovers are living yet;
And we we love, we weep. we sigh
In love with loves that will not die.
Then take her, lover, sword in hand,
Hot-blooded and red-handed; clasp
Her sudden stormy, tall and grand,
And lift her in your iron grasp
And kiss her. kiss her till she cries
From keen, sweet, happy, killing pain.
Aye kiss her till she seeming dies;
Aye, kiss her till she dies and then,
Why, kiss her back to life again,

GROWING OLD.

We must grow old. my dearest.
Though strange 1t seems to me
That those glad eyes should ever look
On Deaths unfathomed sea-
And, turning sadly backward,
Like seamen soon to SAIL
1t may be that your heart or mine,
Shall for a moment fail.
When we grow old, my dearest,
Think not upon the tears,
But treasure in your heart Of hearts
The gladness Of the years,
So shall we come serenely
To where that dread sea rolls,
And part at last upon its verge
With unembittered souls.
