) What State Editors are Saying
They Wanted A whitewash =

q. The governor and Others interested
protested the utmost willingness to
have all the transaction of the Board
of Internal Improvement investigat-
ed, but denied the authority of
the legislature; when the test came
they did not contest the point of au-
thority but delays seemed intermina-
BILE both before and after the APP
pointment of the committee. After
the committee had been named and
had made satisfactory progress, can
any explanation be made that will
satisfy an impartial critic of the dis
charge of the committee and the
election of another composed of the
governors friends? From the whole
state comes the charge: II did not
believe anything was wrong before
but now suspect a niger in the

regretted that ten thousand dollars
of the public money will be wanted

MORE POPULAR THAN
EVER.

With an ignorance as dense as
Egyptian darkness lettered writer
some time since gravely discussed
the decadence of baseball as a ma
tional sport. He predicted its grad
ual decline until the supremacy of
the diamond pastime has waned and
it is q dim reflex of its present
greatness.
Decadence of baseball, forsooth.
Also, gadzooks. AS long as the
heart of healthy young America pull
ates and bubbles and swells to the
bursting point with the Joy of living,
just so long will baseball hold the
center of his rampant affections.
Other forms of sport may attract his
fancy, but there is none to grasp his
youthful enthusiasm and hold it as
firmly as the vigorous and vociferous
game of baseball.
The game was never so popular
throughout the country as at this
time. An army greater than march
ed with Sherman through Georgia
to the sea or with Napoleon to Mos
COW goes out from American homes
each Saturday afternoon to do noisy
battle OH dusty diamonds. 1t is
health-giving contest, in which stur-
DIV youngsters are made sturdier,
lungs grow leathery and 1.-THE limbs
build up muscles of steel. The hus-
KY enthusiasm of youth finds res
pondent echo in the tumultous cheers
of older fans who watch their paid
favorites cavoort on the nicely level
ed grounds of the league cities.
In the cities and villages of the
country the youth of the land are
turning out in greater numbers this
year than ever before to demonstrate
their proves with the willowy
wagon tree.
Baseball is clean sport and it
helps to keep the heart young. In
world in which the heart too often
grows old and weary before it's time
any sport that wards off encircling
care will never die.
The decadence of baseball has been
dwelt upon by writers i'll the years
gone by and their "blanket of sod is
the carpet of the shouting young
Americans to whom life is an eX-
citing baseball game in which each
and every one of them strives to be
the pitcher.
If some benefactor should come
along about now with real team he
could even wake up sordid and half
sleeping Palatka, and the present
long summer season would hold out
much in the way of eXhilirating en-
joyment to lot of us, who, in its alb
sence, are in real danger of going to
seed.

Don't Do it., MIR. Burr

1t is announced that r. Hudson
Burr will be a candidate for governor
and that he will announce his plat.
form in due time.
With kindliest feelings for him we
say:
Don't do it, Mr.. Burr.
We feel that we can speak plainly
about this for the Breeze has always
been friend of Mr.. Burr.
1t expects to continue so.
We should not, and do not, say this
without what we consider good rea-
sons.
Broadly speaking, the obligations
between the people and their officers
are mutual.
The people are in honor bound to
give their officials the moral backing
required to enable them to accomp-
fish the work for which these offic.
ials We're elected.
The officials are in honor bound to
give the people the best service OF
which they are capable.
Now, to the point.
Mr.. Burr has been twice elected to
the office of railroad commissioner
He is now chairman of the commits
sion.
Either the commission can do the
people of the state a great deal of
good, or all the talk about railroad
abuses is bosh and the commission is
a useless and expensive ornament.
The claim has been made hereto
fore by the commission that it could
not correct many of the abuses, fam
cied or real, because of lack of power.
The legislature has given the COM
mission all that it has asked for
along that line, and now the people
are going to demand results.
1t was Mr.. Burr who made the
fight before the legislature for the
necessary power to enable the COM
mission to give this relief to the peo-
pie, and in at least one instance, that
of special counsel, he carried this
fight to successful victory, even
over the firm protest of the attorney
general of the state. The Legislature
granted these requests because Mr..
Burr promised to give definite re-
suits if they were granted. Now it
is up to Mr.. Burr to make good
these es.-DeFuniak Breeze.

1t is a historical fact that cock
was publicly burned at Basel in Au-
gust, 1474, for the diabolical crime of
laying an egg, the egg being also burn
ed lest 1t should produce 4cockatrice
or fiery flying serpent "On the Thurs
day before st. Lawrence's day." writes
Gross in his "Kurtze Basler Kronik,"
''they burned a cock on the Kolenberg,
together with an egg which he had
laid, for they feared that dragon
might be Matched therefrom. The ex-
ecutioner cut open the cock and found
three more eggs in him, for, as Vicen-
thus saith in the sixth book of his
'Speculum Naturale,' it hath always
been held that cock in his old age
may lay an egg, whence ariseth a
basilisk If 1t be Matched out on a dung
heap by the serpent called coluber
Wherefore the basIlisk Is half cock
and half serpent. He saith also that
certain persons declare they have seen
basilisks Matched from such eggs

SOMEWHAT
PERPLEXING.'

Under the above caption, Hon.
Eugene S. Matthews, Speaker of the
House of Representative in the late
legislature, makes the following
bright points concerning the work of
that body in the last number of his
paper, the Bradford County Tele-
graph:
Discussing the late session of the
state legislature the Bronson Times
Democrat, an ultra administration
organ, says it was pre-eminently a
peoples body, but did nothing for
the people, while the Tallahassee
Sun, also an ultra administration
organ, says the session was organ
lied by the corporation crowd"
but did more for the people than the
past three Legislatures all put to-
gether.
This is somewhat perpleXing, but
if the impeachment of either or both
of our contemporaries is accepted, it
would seem the part of wisdom for
the citizens of the state who wish
to see the states interests advanced
to hereafter tie to the sO-called "cor-
poration crowd" According to the
