THE TRIBUNE was the first to suggest
the name Of Judge Isaac Stewart, some
months ago, for Governor Of Florida,
and now his name is mentioned in al
most every newspaper in the State.
The Judge has a record of having never
been beaten for an office. which would
serve him we'll at this time when the
favorite son of every county is being
talked Of for the position, With all
the admirable qualities of heart and
head possessed by Judge Stewart, his

Claude l. Engle, who has never in the
past seen anything especially beneficial
TO the State or her people in local op.
ton or State prohibition, has caught
the trend of sentiment of the people of
Florida, and he thinks that State pro-
hibition is bound to come, and that,
too, at the first opportunity. Hence,
to be in the swim, he has ordered all
whiskey ads out of his paper, the Talla-
hassee Sun, and has buckled on the
armour for State prohibition. He could
have done some good during the recent
session of the legislature by joining
the anti-saloon faction for the passage
of laws throwing stronger restrictions
around the red rye, but he did not wish
to offend the red nose members of the
legislature, and not word did he say
in behalf of the great moral question.

Popularity Of Grapefruit.

Up in Boston they have fondnesS
for Florida grapefruit, and in telling
Of the popularity of the fruit, which is
one of Florida 5 greatest and most pro-
ductve crops, the Transcript of that
city says:
"rhe popularity of grapefruit is a
sign of the times that invites consider
alton. Three times Il day in some house
holds does it appear at the table, 80
completely is it in vogue and no one is
ever heard to say he is weary Of it.
Grapefruit holds its own, rs not all
fruits can. For besides the fine flavor
of it, it has certain properties it is said
that make it healthful, and that is a
combination always desirable.
So it is good to be told. having reached
this stage in contemplating its place
with Us that down in Florida the grape
fruit orchards increase yearly in size
and number, and that now Il days for
every orange tree set out grapefruit
trees are planted For this news as
sures Us that future demands for the
fruit will be as fully met rs are those
of the present.

CITY COUNCIL ADOPTS
THREE ORDINANCES

The City Council held specia meet
ing Tuesday, at which three new ~
dinanccs were enacted The subject Of
these ordinances are: Fire limit ard
building ordinance, cattle ordinance ana
the occupational license ordinance. The
cattle ordinance appears on page SIX OF
this issue, and appears to he IN IRON
clad law against the roaming at large
of all kinds Of cattle. Former ordlnan'
ces on this subject seem TO have been
weak in preventing cattle from running
the street, but the supporters of the
new law claim that the citizens will not
longer have to tolerate this nuisance.
The nrw city charter for Fort Pierce
authorizes the city council To impose
its own licenses taxes to any amount
not exceeding the State tax on the
same occupation. Under this charter
the new law was enacted at the special
Tuesday, and covers every pos
sible occupation. 1t will occupy 4 col
umn in TIE TRIBUNE and will appear
in our next issue.
The ncw building ordinance does not
extend the fire limits, but correctS some
in the existing law, and
makes it more readily understood and
easily enforced. This law has not yet
been approved by the mayor, as he has
it under advisement.
