feeting public interests. After the
final settlement of these the result
was accepted by loyal Democrats and
good citizens everywhere, and it is
only occasionally that We are unpIeas-
antly reminded of them by some sur
yivor of another time who fitfully
yells to busy word the old war cries
OF corporation" or niger" rule,
and hopes to ride into something
good on old prejudices- The law is
with Us TO punish the man or the
corporation brought before the
courts. the negro vote could not be
found with a fine comb except 20 send
delegates to Republican convention
TO which no Floridian should find
objections. and there IS work enough
in this state to keep everybody busy.
So what's the uses
But since the occasional yell has
just made itself heard, let US hear
from the Live Oak Democrat on the
other side:
The corporation and anti-corpora-
ton faction in Florida politics have
about played out, we are pleased to
say, and the sooner it is entirely
eliminated the better it will be for
the state. II never amounted TO any
thing in the first place except TO
furnish some politician a hobby to
ride into public Office Recent votes
upon questions in the legislature are
proof of our assertion In speaking
along this line of thought, the De-
Land Record says: The Trammen
franchise tax bill was defeated in
the senate last week. and there SEEM
ed to have been no factional vote on
the measure. Senators who have been
accused of being on the side of cor
porations voted against the measure,
and senators who have been accused
of fighting anything in favor of cor
porations voted for it. 1t was a line
up regardless of any factional or
corporation or anti-croporation senti-
ment. The Tallahassee Sun can make
no political capital for the Broward
faction in the state over the defeat
Of this measure, for some of the gov
ernor's staunch friends were against
the proposition"
Isn't that good sense and good logic
and fact also? Why go back for |
review of old troubles and sins of |
and comission? We have
no time for chickering's in a state that
needs more work than she can get |
lone. that needs the labor of hand |
md brain as she never did before in |
Ter history, and as she never will /
again Words, that can fill some of |
'ur present wants will be welcome.
'ut these should bring TO our help
he man or the corporation to do
omething for good roads. Out of a
lalf dozen good men who offer to
erve US as governor, We should be
bile to pick one without a quarrel
Tut of a thousand projects for the
of the state several Of

ical shape with help from us-out
4 all the money coming to us for
ruit and vegetables, for labor and
or trade new men might get en-
to start others that
Iould pay just as well. There are
billions of acres on which to build
mother Hastings, new celery centers
an be started as well as in Sanford.
