Leaving Mr.. Browns candidacy out

TOM WEST SETS
A NOBLE EXAMPLE
Wants and Is Satisfied Only with
What lie Earns.

The Hon. Thomas F. West, of Santa
Rosa county, has won place in the
shining example" class at a single
bound, says the Tampa News.
Mr. West is attorney for the County
Commissioners Of his county. He has
been troubled with an excessive salary
"a very rare complaint, indeed, in
Florida officialdom.
This overplus of salary weighed upon
the heart and soul III Attorney West.
He felt that ne was getting more than
he was worth. Remember, Just here,
that Mr. West is lawyer. "And still
the wonder grew
Mr. West communicated with his con-
science.
He and his conscience and a little
bookkeeping.
He charged himself with the salary.
then he credited himself with what ne
did 60 earn the salary. He drew a bal.
ance, and he came to the irresistible
conclusion that the salary was much
bigger than the work.
What did MIR. West do?
Did he say: "Well, what's the oddsf
This Is a public job A public office Is,
largely private snap. II the County
Commissioners and the people are sat
isfied, why shouldn't / be2 What il I'm
getting dollar for 10 cents worth Of
service? It's all in politics, and Co hell
with the people!'
Mr. West did not say that.
lie wrote communication to the
County Commissioners, stating that he
was not giving value for the money
that was being paid him out of the pub
lie treasury. He asked the board %
reduce his salary TO q figure common
surate with what was required of him.
The board, as soon as It's members
could recover from the shock, reduced
Mr.. Vests salary TO $l2 per month
MIR. West now doubtless feels better.
His accounts with his conscience ball
ance perfectly. He has the serene sat-
isfaction Of knowing that he isn't get
ting a cent he isn't entitled TO.
An example, you say2
Yes, but an unpopular one.
1t is one that will not be emulated.
Most public officials are in Office for all
they can get IL the West idea should
become the rule, we would see numer-
GUS offices going begging az the next
election.
Cut out of the public service the pay
that isn't earned, apply the West sys-
TEN OF bookkeeping with ones con-
science TO IL, and politics would cease
TO be popular calling.
Unfortunately, rigid honesty Is un-
popular especially in politics.

COlleRe and school Notes.

Prof. A. A. Murphree, president of
the Woman's College, has Joined his
family at st. Teresa for weeks out
ing.
Mr.. J. G. Kellum has added the du-
ties Of auditor Of the State College for
Women TO those of secretary Of the
Board of Control. Mr.. KelIum will
have charge Of the college during the
absence of the president.
Messrs. Gilmore & Davis are reno
waiting and thoroughly repairing the
East Dormitory for the reception Of
this years students. The outlook for q
large attendance is very good. and
every effort will be made 70 insure
comfortable accommodation TO all who
come.
The people Of Tallahassee are very
much disappointed that all plans for the
building OF a new schoOlhouse, TO be in
readiness for the children during the
coming season, have fallen through.
The inconvenience Of having part of
the school in one end of the town and
the remainder In another is very great.
Neither the principal, teachers nor
scholars can do justice TO themselves or
to each other under the circumstances.
The present quarters are much too
restricted, and the absence Of an audi
forum is a serious drawback Bids
have been recently advertised for reno
waiting the old seminary building, which
has not been used in some time owing to
its dilapdated state, but no contractor
has as yet responded. This is owing, so il
has been explained, TO the fact that
the bids were offered so late in the sea
son that the contractors all have their
hands full. Scarcity Of labor precludes
any very extensive building prepare
tions, and all the available present help
is busy on prior contracts.
The school examinations were held
on Tuesday and the new teachers for
Leon county will be announced in our
next issue

breaking over the prov of the superb
battleship the conventional bottle Of
champagne, the boat should be named

wealth, many towns have voted liquor
out of business, and it is said that the
next Legislature of North Carolina will
consider prohibition law.
EVEN "oLD KENTUCKY"
Kentucky, the last stronghold, is
captivating, and Gov. Beckham is
helping all he can 10 make it a prohibi-
tion State.
The Bluegrass Commonwealth, where
for a century whisky has been credited
with being the food Of every native,
from babyhood TO the grave, his solace
in trouble, helper in Joy, warmth in
winter and cooling agent in summer,
has not yielded without a struggle, but
the friends of prohibition are making
steady gains, which can only have one
ultimate result.
The first triumph came in Kentucky
when, despite protests of strong liquor
interests, the Legislature was forced
by public opinion 10 pass what is
termed the unit law.
This gives every local community the
right to decide its liquor law, lmmedi-
ately on its enactment county after
county voted for prohibition.
The most wonderful metamorphosis
was made in Louisville, and though
prohibition is far from being complete,
II is no longer possible to porchase a
drop of strong drink on Sunday in this
city OF distileries.
Prohibition sentiment IL sweeping
over Kentucky, and 1t is not out of the
question that eventually IL will gain a
clean victory over the saloons.
In most of these Southern States the
victory in the country has been com
paratively easy. Only in the cities has
there been a strong effort TO retain the /
liquor traffic Thus, though nearly all |
Tennessee has declared itself again |
the traffic, the three big cities Of Mem
phis, Nashville and Chattanooga still
permit the sale of liquors.
Alabama's new law limiting the hours
when liquor can be sold To : and 8

for prohibition, because they have con-
tended that most Of the dark deeds
inspired by drink are committed at
night.
THE TEXAS EVIL,
In Texas the evil influence welded
by the saloon politician undoubtedly had
A great deal 20 do with eliminating
strong drink. The saloon was the gath
ering place for the men Of a community,
here they made friendships and gained
their ideas, and the sal0Onkeeper, by a
system OF favors and credits, was able
to be powerful factor m deciding how
should go.

There is no doubt that a great deal OF
depreciation in the security market Ii
the work of sales by spectators who
have not the stock they sell and also OF
wash sales. This Is done to right
the real owners and to make them throw
their stocks on the market. This
method of d~epreciating prices has sug-
gested the plan to ask the New York
legislature, when IT meets again. to pass
a law making 1t unlawful to sell any
stock without giving the name In which
1t stands and the number Of the certih-
cate. Such laws have been passed by
several Eurepan countries and are pre-
venting raids on securities. That just
now the gambling fraternity is robbing
stockholders by sales Of stocks which
ii wants to depress. is evident During
the Russian-Japanese war. when con-
slant attacks by bears on Russian Sc
curities were made. the management OF
the Paris Exchange adopted the rule
that sellers OF those securities were to
give the buyers the numbers of each
bond or stock. This stopped a panic in
Russian securities.

Thomas III. Condor. one Of the largest
mine and stock operators in Goldfeld.
returned this week from an extended
business trip In the east. He returned
with a big bank roll for further invest
ments. In the shape OF drafts; but like
everyone else. he is unable to get action
on the money until conditions change
and banks resume interchanging BUSH
ness. He says that Goldfeld is in just
as good position as the east SO far as
banking facilities is concerned. On can
get only paper issued by banks as evil
dence Of indebtedness. and the paper
passes current in the payment OF bills.
Mr.. Condor says that many people of
the east are worked up over the possi-
biiities OF extended apex litigation. their
fears having been aroused over the Mo-
hawk-Jumbo Extension controversy:
but he thinks that troubles from this
source will be limited to a very few
cases. and in view Of past history in the
camp. there may be none at all. The
disposition in Goldfeld is to compromise
such cases rather than have the prop
critics tied up by extended and expensive
litigation.
