Discussing q subject that is now at
tracing a great deal of attention at
Tallahassee as we'll as throughout the
country at large, the Miami Metropo-
lis says:
The Metropolis put itself on record
several days ago as believing that
men individually and collectively,
have a right TO lobby 1t is bust
ness proposition, and when ones in
terests can be benefited or injured
by certain legislation it would be
curtailing his constitutional rights to
say he could not work or employ
men to work either for or against,
as he feels he is being affected. This
opinion applies equally alike to per-
son or corporation, and we would
|hate to see the day when lobbying is
abolished.
This expression from the Metropo-
lis was occasioned by the following
on the same subject in a recent issue
of the Jacksonville Times-Union:
The Miami Board of Trade has APP
pointed a representative with tnstruc-
tions to make an effort to defeat the
attempt to divide the county of Da6e,
and the mayor Will go with him to
{
are these lobbyists? Under the bill
the representative of the board can
show credentials, but will the mayor
be accounted a lobbyist? And after
a decision has been rendered on
these questions, what would be the
. duty of the Legislature in the prem
Uses? Whether we consider the coun-
ties wise or not have not those who
desire a division the right to present
q case and their opponents the same
right? Granting these rights, why
does il not follow that a person or
corporation whose interests may be
Iattacked or promoted by pending leg
islation, may not exercise the right
TO explain, TO argue and to protest?
OF course there is no question where
illegal or base means are employed,
but why not punish the guilty and
remove the stigma from the innocent?
All of this leads to the question:
Who wants TO abolish lobbying? We
have seen no special effort in that
direction. Senator Vests bill dealing
with lobbyists certainly does not con-
template such an end.
The Metropolis makes a plain state
ment of position which We think is
agree entirely, but the 1imes-Union S
craftily worded questions would leave
the impression that some one is try
,1ng TO throttle popular rights-that
some stigma has been stamped on
innocent men and that somebody is
going to be given privileges which
somebody else does not possess.
The Times-Union or course does
not want any law passed which will
interfere in any way with the cid ap-
proved methods of the lobbyist. and
Il therefore erects a man of straw
and proceeds to demolish him for the
purpose Of detracting attention from
the real issue.
That issue is not that anyone de
sires to abolish lobbying, but that all
honest citizens who have given the
matter proper thought do desire to
regulate lobbying.
Those who seek reform in this di-
rection would not cut anyone of from
the right to present his views TO the
proper body on any measure which
affects him or those he represents,
but they think the people could with
profit TO themselves prescribe the
time, place and methods which a lob
byist shall employ when presenting

ECZEMA COVERED BABY.
fered Untold Misery-Perfect
Cure by Cuticura Remedies.

MY son. who is now twenty-five
years OF age, when four months old
began to have eczema on his face,
spreading quite rapidly until he was
nearly covered. The eczema was some
thing terrible. and the doctors said it
was the worst case they ever saw. At
times his whole body and face were
covered, all but his feet. l used many
kinds of patent medicines, to no avail.
A friend teased me to try Cuticura.
At last decided to try Cuticura when
my boy was three years and four
months old. having had eczema all that
tin.s and suffering untold misery. I
began to use all three OF the Cuticura
Remedies. He was better in two
months: in six months he was well.

One of the features OF modern

Lack OF repose is a prime factor in

Blood and Performs Wonders Is .
Tonic for the Nerves.
Why are nervous people invariably
pale people?
The answer to that question explains
why a remedy that acts on the blood
can cure nervous troubles.
1t explains why DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are also for nervous
people.
1t is because of the intimate relation
between the red corpuscles in the blood
and the health Of the nerves. The
nervous system receives its nourishment
through the blood. Let the blood be.
come thin, weak and colorless and the
nerves are starved-the victim is started
on the road that leads to nervous wreck.
Nervous people are pale people-but ths
pallor comes first. Enrich the blood
and the nerves are stimulated and toned
up to do their part Of the work of the
body. DR.. Williams Pink Pills make
red blood and transform nervous, irrit-
able, ailing people into strong, energetic,
forceful men and women.
