CITY STREET
PAVING LAW
Ordinance Which Was Re-
Gently Passed by the City
Council.

The new paving ordinance, which
was recently passed by the City Coun-
Gil is printed in full below. 1t is one
of the most important measures to
pass that body in several months.
There have been several changes
made in the ordinance as originally
planned, especially regarding the
streets to be paved and improved.
One CT the most important changes
is that Alcaniz street is to be paved
instead of Hayne street, and Tara
gona street is to be paved from Gar
den street north to Belmont. The paw
ing on AlcaniZ street will extend from
Government street on the south 10
Gadsden street on the north, and will
afford an excellent driveway for those
on East Hill desiring to come TO fthe
city by this route. The ordinance is
as follows:

HONOR IN THE
BUSINESS LIFE
BY Cardinal Gibbons.

The inspired saying that he who is
faithful in little things will be faith
full in much still holds true. A man
who is not honest in his social life,
who is not honorable in his home re-
lations, certainly can not be healthy
robust, uncomparomising man in his
business character.
1t would be unjust to suppose that
all, or even majority, OF milllonaires
make an unworthy use of the money
they have earned, or that they have
earned this money by dishonest
methods. / know some of these men,
too, who generosities are commenSu-
rate with their wealth, and they are
a pleasing counterfeit to the other
type. They make it possible for us
to retain our optimism, no matter how
grave conditions may appear in the
financial world. They make us real
ize that the sturdy virtues will sur
vive. and form always a great barrier
against the continued spread of cor
ruption and dishonesty.
Almost all great men in the rast
have succeeded in great undertakings.
Almost all honorable qualities of Cha
acter have developed with these grea-
m6H VI IHS past Win 4l4lOiaON
tual strength Although, in modern
days, the getting of money is, appar-
entity, the visible sign of success in
business achievement, most OF us try
to believe that our efforts are actua;ec
by something higher than the mere
spirit CT money-getting.
People who know me will agree that
l am not in any manner antagonis-
tic to anything that tends to assist in
the great commercial and financial
progress of our country. Quite the
contrary. But l do believe that this
progress must be made along the lines
of the most absolute and incorrCpti-
BILE integrity.
The United States of America is
destined to greatness among the
great nations-far greater than it has
so far achieved, even. IL must sweep
onward, growing stronger at each
step, and there should be nothing to
halt its commercial greatness.
This is a young country. 1t lacks
background. It's possibilities are bare
ly realized at this time, but the coun-
try is a growing giant, and no man
may know to what heights it may
attain. There should be no desire to
halt or check this development in any
way. We should all work together
since it is to the individual interest
of each one of us that our country
should prosper. But, above all, we
should ever remember that CONNER
cial prosperity is not the highest aim
of life.
There can be no stable prosperity
without justice, no justice without
morality, no morality without religion,
no religion without GOd.-Van Nor
den Magazine.

The Florida delegation in congress
to a man have shown their ability and
worth, remarks the Miami Metropolis
which says it, for one, is a strong ad-
herent to the motto: Let we'll enough
alone" Correct Then, too, accord
ing to all accounts a new senator or
congressman is of little value to his
state during the first years of n s
term, or his first term, and Florida
cannot afford to put apprentices" in
that delegation. There is a difference
however when a congressman, who
has served several terms in the low
er house seeks election as senator, for
he may be assumed to know the
ropes. Times-Union.
This is another one of those limo
cent little paragraphs" Now let the
Times-UniOn answer this innocent lit
tie questiOn-Will it be possible for
the man who succeeds this congress-
man who knows the ropes" to secure
the ranking place on the rivers and
harbOrs committee, and will the state
be benefited by losing this valuable
representation on that most important
committee?

Notice to Advertisers.

A great number of The Journals
advertisers will close their places of
business hereafter on Friday after
Moons. We therefore ask that they
prepare their Sunday copy Thursdays
or sooner hereafter, because many OF
them will not have time. or forget to
prepare their copy Friday morning
Saturdays are usually busy days for
the merchants and they seldom have
the time to attend to advertising on
that day, and besides The Journal
cannot always handle copy sent in
here as late as Saturdays

A Korean Romance.

a romantic little story comes from
the Chuksan district. One of the resi-
dents having died Of illness, his only
wife declared her intention of killing
herself. Arguing that it was not right
for a woman to remain alive after her
husband was dead and that she would
be far happier If she followed him, she
put her plan into execution and COM
mitted suicide the same night. She
was only twenty.-Korea Daily Times.

Ardent sparkman Advocate.

Thos. ]. Laud Brown, noted and
interchangeable promoter of Tampa, has
announced himself as candidate for
United States senator to succeed Mr..
Mallory This makes it very desir-
able to know what the Hon. s. NJ.
Sparkman is going to do. The Herald
will support Mr.. Sparkman for any,
thing he wants. 1t seems hard on
him, as the Live Oak Democrat sug-
gests, that because he has proved of
great value in the house, he should
be told that he must stay there; that
he has done so we'll in his present
position that he must not be per-
mitted to go higher.-Punta Gorda

Thinks Dunn Competent.

If Mr. Morgan is to retire at the
end Of his present term as railroad
commissioner, we are of the opinion
that there could be no better material
found in the state to take the place
than is Mr.. r. G.. Dunn. He has had
more than five years as secretary of
the commission which naturally
makes him thoroughly familiar with
the duties of the Office, and besides
he is naturally a good man, one
whom we believe will serve both
sides of the question fairly and
squarely-Laurel Hill Southern Home

Concerning Mr.. Burr.

Concerning Mr.. Burr.
We can't imagine why the esteemed
Times-Union should be surprised be-
cause this paper said that our merto-
politan contemporary recognized in
Mr.. Burr the political heir of the adj
ministration and would therefore OPP
pose him Surely the Times-Union
said as much when Mr.. Burr's candi-
dacy was first made known At any
rate, it is opposing him, to which we
can have no objection But since the
surprising paragraph was printed,
some of Mr.. Burr's best friends have
declared against him and we. there
fore, agree with the Times-Union in
the belief that he will not develop
near as much strength as was at first
upposed.-tPunta Gorda Herald.
