the world, of which number approx

States. Great Britain and Germany
each have nearly as many trade un-

C ountries in which the movement is
comparatively new-Austria, Hungary.
Italy, etc.-are now making very rapid

Jeff Brown For Governor

The Key West Daily Citizen of
last Saturday contained the follow
ing editorial announcement of Hon.
Jefferson B Brownies candidacy for
Governor:
1t affords us great pleasure to an
nounce that Hon. jefferson B.
Browne will be a candidate for Gov
ernOr Of Florida at the next demo-
cratic primaries, and to assure his
friends throughout the state that he
will have the undivided support of
the democracy of Monroe county.
Mr.. Browne is native born
Floridian. His father came to Flor
ida from Virginia in 1880, and was a
member Of the St. Joseph's conven-
ton in 1888 which framed the con-
stitution under which Florida was
admitted into the union in 1915. His
mother was born in St. Augustine in
1924.
in convention, in the senate in
1891 and 1893, and on the Railroad
Commission, Mr.. Brown has been on
the side of the people, but his fair
ness and impartiality, his courage
and ability have shown that he is
not partisan or demagogue.
He is gentleman of the old
school, courteous in the extreme, of
scholarly habits and cultured mind
and if elected will rank with those
governors of whom Florida feels
justly proud, and will be the peer Of
any of the SOUTH most distinguished
chief executives.

GoIdsmith's Generosity.

A beggar once asked aims of Oliver
Goldsmith as he walked with a friend
up Fleet street, and he gave her a shil-
ling. His companion, knowing some
thing Of the woman, censured the writ
err for his excess Of humanity, saying
that the shilling was misapplied, as
she would spend it for liquor IF 1t
makes her happy in any way, my end
is answered" replied Goldsmith.
Another proof that the doctors gen
crosby was not always regulated by
discretion was at time when, after
much delay day was fixed 10 pay
the $40 due his tailor. Goldsmith pro-
cured the money, but friend calling
upon him and relating a piteous tale
of his goods being seized for rent, the
thOughtless but benevolent author gave
him all the money. The tailor called
and was told that if he had come a lit
tie sooner lie could have had the
money, but that he had just parted
with every shilling of it to a friend in
distress, adding, Il would have been
an unfeeling monster not to have re-
lieved trouble when in my power"

The South Is Going Dry.

Lay the jest about the julep in the
camphor balls at last,
For the miracle has happened and
the olden days are past;
That which makes Milwaukee his
tory doesn't foam in Tennessee,
And the lid in old Missouri is as
tight locked as can be
o the comic paper colonel and his
crOnies well might sigh,
For the mint is waving gaily and the
South is going dry.
By the stillside on the hillside in
Kentucky all is still,
For the only damp refreshment must
be dipped up from the rlll;
Moth Ca'lina's stately ruler gives
his soda glass a shove,
And discusses local option with the
South Ca'lina Gov.
1t is useless at the fountain to be
winkful of the eye,
For the cocktail glass is dusty and
the South is going dry.
1t is water, water, everywhere, and
not a drop to drink,
We no longer hear the music of the
mellow crystal clink,
When the Colonel and the Major and
the General and the Jedge,
Meet to have little nip to give
their appetites an edge,
For the eggnog now is noggless and
the rye has gone awry,
And the punch bowl holds carna-
tions, and the South is going dry.
All the night caps now have tassles
and are Worn upon the head
Not the night caps that were taken
before nobody went to bed,
And the breeze above the blue grass
is as solemn as is death,
For it bears no pungent Glove tang
on its odorific breath,
And each man can walk a chalk line
when the stars are in the sky,
For the fizZ glass now is fizzless and
the South is going dry.
Lay the jest about the julep, meath
the chestnut tree at last,
For there's but one kind of moon
shine and the Olden days are past.
Now the water wagon rumbles
through the Southland on its
trip,
And it helps no one to drop off to
pick up the drivers whip,
For the mint beds make a pasture
and the corkscrew hangeth high, !
All is still along the stillside and
the South is going dry.

Many persons are puzzled to know
why policemen wear their badges 50
low Oh their coats instead of on the
flap made for that purpose. As a mat
ter of fact the badge or star, as he
calls it, Of many a policeman is right
next to his heart. Some Of the blue
coats can thank their stars" for being
alive. This little metal shield has de-
fected the bullet of burglar or high
wayman, and at times, too, has stopped
the knife thrust Of would be assassins.
During the last twenty Or thirty years
there are many cases on record show
ing that the little badge has been a
life saver Even bullets fired at close
range, as rule, cannot penetrate the
shield. That's why bluecoat always
feels safer in keeping the star at vital
spot When off duty some policemen
wear their stars on their vests, but al
ways directly over the heart. They are
so accustomed to the little protector
that they feel uneasy without it.

because they do not agree with ex-

Key West Extension Continues -

Although orders We're given to sus-
pend all operations on the Key West
extension of the f. f. G.. Railway
south of Long Key, only that work
in the immediate vicinity of Key
West has been materially effected
though the order is being carried
out as rapidly as possible. This
comes about by the better part of
the work being in such condition
that it can not be stopped on such
short notice without the same be
ing either destroyed or badly dam
aged. Some of the work will be
finished within week, other parts
of it in a week or two and so on the
probability being that it will be
month or more yet before all of the
operations south of Long Key have
come to a temporary standstill. At
Long Key and all points this side
there has been no let-up whatever
in the work, and it is being pursued
as energetically as ever. There are
now about fifteen hundred men all
told at work on the extension, and
the greater majority of them will re-
main steadily with the company dur
ing the summer.-Miami Metropolis.

THE DECLINE OF RACING.

You see very little in the sporting
columns of the daily newspapers
now about racing.
There was a time when the racing
of horses of splendid blood and Ara
bian lineage was euphoniOusly call
ed the sport Of kings"
Today in the United States, save
only in few places, it is more truly
''the gamble Of touts.
1t is just another indication of the
decay of the old spirit that used to
animate Americans, and another
proof of the decline of the mad in
terest in gambling and get-rich-quick
schemes,
Originally race tracks were ex-
empted from the legislative enact
nents against gambling on the plea
true at the time-that the tracks en-
couraged the breeding of fine horses.
Today the majority Of the tracks
are in the hands of sports and gam
piers ana politicians who have no
earthly interest in the breeding Of
fine horses.
What they are after all the time is
money, and in order to get it and
get it quickly, they are willing to
have low-class horses, picturesquely
known as dogs" and selling
pIaters," run in so-called races in
which the results have usually been
arranged beforehand.
Racing is now generally regarded
AS sure-thing gambling in which the
lower order OF gamblers wax rich on
a gullible public. 1t is for this rea-
son that the newspapers are devo-
ting very little space to this old time
sport
