SOlnc funHy People,
In speaking of recent appointment
a state exchange has in glaring hea,
lines: ''The Governor Appoints hi
Friend" Did they expect him to az
point his enemy?-Wauchuia Advocate

Senator W. NJ Girardeau, of Monti

didate for the presidency of the senate
This would seem to leave the coas1
clear for Senator Hunt Harris, of Key

Frank Clark.
Congressman Frank Clark is in ia
vor of selling the Philippine Islands
all of which it would be mighty good
thing for Uncle Sam to do. They are
too far away from the United States
to ever benefit us much.-Jasper Ban

The appointment of J. Emmett
Wolfe to the judgeship of the first ju-
dicial circuit is another evidence that
Governor Broward is remembering his

better fitted for this position than Mr.

We would like to know who the

of the Hoke Smith kind of man that
has ever been named among the

Attorneys Fees.
According to an itemized statement
of the expenditures of the Internal
Board for the year 1906
06. it appears that total of 500, 704 so
has been paid out for legal expenses
OF this amount Ex-Governor w. S. Jen-
nings has received $4,000 Through
out the state this is generally regard
ed as a reckless expenditure of pub
lie money. and one that calls for
further explanation.-Palatk News.
Robert w, Davis.
The DeLand News speaks very kind
iy OF Hon. Robt- w Davis as a pros
pective candidate for governor. This
is rather surprising, as the News be-
longs to that section of the party
which regards Col. Davis as a corpora
ton man The chief and only serious
objection. TO his being governor is his
overlooking kindness of heart, which,
wrought upon by inscriptions law
yers and others, might cause him to
pardon every rascal in the state. The
governor should be man of iron viii
and nerve.-Punta Gorda Herald.
