VIII Announce for Governor

The News is able to state on ap-
parently reliable authority that
Judge Isaac A. Stewart of the De-
Land criminal court will shortly an
nounce his candidacy for the office
of Governor of Florida.
Rumors of Judge Stewards intend
ed candidacy reached Palatka some
| two weeks ago. 1t is known that he
| is being urged to make the race by a
large number OF the prominent citt-
zens of Volusia county and that the
pressure being brought to bear on
him is not confined to any one of
the factions that are fighting for SUI
pTemacy in that county. 1t is I'M
derstood that all are prepared to
unite with Judge Stewart as leader.
Coming from Jacksonville the
other evening the editor of the News
had the pleasure of the company of
the Hon. James E. Alexander. Mr..
Alexander said:
Judge Stewart will probably be
candidate and he will sweep the
state. He is very popular man
and would make an ideal governor.
He has been making quiet canvas
and has convinced himself that his
chances are most excellent. We
want Judge Stewart to run on his
jail record. Seems funny, don't it.
But do you remember that some
years ago Congressman Houk of
Tennessee got drunk while in Wash
ington and was run in" His enc
mics at home printed a cartoon of
him looking through the bars of the
Jail. Houk took this as his cue in
the next canvas. He had Gala
boose made with grated windows
which he loaded on his wagon, and
over the district making speeches.
His majority was increased from
1900 to 10000.
Stewart has also had short Jail
record. You will remember that as
attorney for the Stetson's he secured
the celebrated DR.. Weightnovel let
ters. When called upon by the court
in Tampa to tell how he obtained
the letters, Stewart refused and was
placed in Jail for contempt. His
friends and managers have gone all
over this jail experience with him
and we believe that if the case is
properly placed before the people it
will win him 10000 votes. l tell you
its great. The people want some
thing spectacular. They want a
man who has done something, even
if he did get in jail for it.
"VOlusia county is solid for him
Perkins and Parkinson, Codrington
and Prevatt, Morrison, Sans, and |
your humble servant, Jeems.'
1t is stated that the Volusia Coun-
ty Record of this week will contain |
Judge Stewards formal announce
ment, He has many friends in Put
nam county.

ED. NJ. EARNEST, Presidel

In the sheet recently sent out in
the interest of the Wet" one local
writer is bold enough to sign his ar
ticle IT. H. K" This is unusual.
Ordinarily they sign "CitiZen,' Tax
payer" etc. But who is 1T. H. K?''
If you had list of voters of Palatka
you might solve the conundrum, and
you might discover the name of the
man who so contracts himself as to
put himself under three letters of the
alphabet.
But IT. II. X" whoever that be,
speaks of the poor prisoner" and
ask for him the benefit of the doubt.
This man will never speak a truer
word than when he speaks of the
saloon keeper as poor prisoner"
Our desire is that the prisoner and
his family be set free by being thrust
out into other channels of business,
honorable and respectable.
We would be pleased to see him
and his recognized and received by
the best of people in the best society.
Such will not be true so long as he is
a prisoner at the bar
IT. H. k seems much concerned
about blind tigers" He fears they
may commit depredations on every
hand and that it is impossible to
check them. Let me remind the
above named gentleman, whoever he
be, that it has been currently report
ed in Palatka that at least some of
the tigers had a checkered expert
ence in Volusia, dry county.
There is but little doubt but that
the tiger will seek more cOngenial
CLINE than one where the prospects
of scratching phosphate rock stares
him in the face. If 1T. H. k is
afraid the tiger will not be severely
enough dealt with in this county,
possibly he might assist in getting a
change of venue in order to get the
case before the honorable judge who
presides in DeLand.
Respectfully,

Want Davis For Governor.

The Tampa correspondent of the

following:
There is a very generally express.

governorship of the state, notwith-
standing his positively expressed
wish to be allowed to keep out of
politics, and devote himself to his
law practice, Many express a de-
termination TO urge him to recon-

declinatiOn to again enter the
race. There is an insistent demand
that he become a candidate for the

The Gainesville Elevator of this
week says: Two women have been
at work on the streets this week in
consequence of unpaid fines for dis
orderly conduct. This is as it should
be and if every one of the continual
offenders against the laws was given
a working sentence instead of light
fine they would not be so prone to
violate the law. This class of peu-
pie hate to work and week at street
cleaning is much more severe than a
ten dollar fine"

Returns From Cuba.

Ed, Newsom a former prominent
orange grower of the county and a
pioneer resident of Crescent City ar
rived in Palatka Wednesday morn
ing from Cuba where be has resided
for the past eight or nine years.
During his short stay in the city
Mr. Newsom called on many of his
old friends. He thinks of returning
to Florida permanently and may
again decide to settle in Crescent
City.
He is the eldest son of the late DR..
L. L. Newsom who formerly rep
resented Putnam county in the state
legislature

Total number of casualties in
the United States ........... 4,3


Next Thursday will be the Fourth
of July and Palatka boys will be in
it with the canon cracker and other
devices for "a noisy celebration of
the day.
Lest We forget" these figures
should be made prominent. 1t is as
if battle had been fought in this
country on the Fourth which result
ed in the above list of casualties.
Patriotism is one thing. a desire
to make noise is not necessarily an
exhibition of patriotism. A DISPOSE
ton to indulge in license that is not
permitted on other days is no prima
facie evidence of respect for the IA
theirs. Nor is slaughter of the in
nocents a proper accompaniment of
the nations natal day.
Therefore, parents who have boys
that have a fondness for explosives,
toy pistols and blank cartridges,
should study these statistics of the
annual tragedy and do all they can
to keep their own FISH and blood out
of the holocaust.
And the city council would do well
to enforce ordinances already passed.
The Chinese method of our Ameri-
can celebration is entirely too costly.

The failure of the National Bank oi
Commerce Of Kansas City will have a
tendency to unsettle financial condi-
tons in hat section of the country for
some time to come. 1t was one of the
big Institutions of that region and did
business with many small banks in
Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas
and other southwestern states and the
territories. 1t had deposits of about
thirty,fve millions at n time, but lost
a large share of its deposits before the
plan OF issuing clearinghouse checks
was adopted. At the time Of its sus-
pension 1t owed SO much to the clear
ing house banks that 1t was deemed
inadvisable to try and pull it through.
smaller failures will doubtless follow in
its wake. Taken all in all, the towns
of Kansas City and st. Louis have
been hit harder by the panic than any
other cities of the nation.

Five years and II month after the

The Ohio railroad commission has
made a report which shows that tho
roads of Ohio have actually benefited
by the two-cent fare law. The income
of the roads has been considerably
more and the income per train mile
also shows an increase. This has been
brought about to some extent by the
elimination of the excursion rates,
free transportation, etc, SO that the en-.
tire public has been sainer by the
change, with the exception of the fell
lows who received the passes, and
they can be consoled by the motto
promulgated by Ebert Hubbard: The
dearest things we get are those things
we get for nothing"

Good Cough Medicine for Children.

Good Cough Medicine for Children.
The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much are cannot
be used to protect the children. A
child is much more likely to contract
diphtheria or scarlet fever when he
has a cold. The quicker you cure his
cold the less the risk. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is the sole reliance Of
many mothers, and few of those VIII
have tried it are willing to use any
other. Mrs. F. F. eStarcher, of Ripley

MR.. HARTMAN CONFIDENT.

In a lengthy interview upon the
financial and industrial situation Mr..
Hartman takes u very optimistic view.
He says the banks. rather than the
people, have been the hoarders Of the
money Of the nation, hut believes this
step was justified to guard against the
people losing their heads. Mr.. Harrl-
man said:
"Of course, you must not expect all
OF once to e every line of commercial
business as active as 1t has been dur
ing the last two years, and perhaps 1t
is better for the country that it should
not so be. We have u presidential
campaign in front of us, and it is only
natural we should feel our way eau
tiously for some time. When l say
cautiously l do not mean he%sitatingly,
but conservatively."
No better evidence that Mr.. Harri
man believes business is on he mend
can be found than in the fact that he
has just ordered back to work 5000
men of his railroads.
At the beginning of the panic, when
even the wisest men could not foresee
how far 1t would go, Mr.. Hartman be
gan to retrench.
He temporarily halted the great work
of Improvement which is being carried
on on the Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific lines and ordered the discharge
Of eight thousand laborers. Now the
greater part of these already are back
and the original plans are being rapid
ly carried out.
Il put the men back in the interest
Of the Union Pacific and the Southern
Pacific" said Nj. Hartman.

looked darker than it really was But
when / saw the steady Improvement
and the hopeful signs l felt warranted
in putting most of the discharged men
back and taking up again the work
that had been begun. l could not have
done otherwise were l to conserve the
interests of the stockholders.
