THE EXACT WORDS USED

How those republicans who are
urging the denomination of Presi-
dent Roosevelt can reconcile the ac-
ceptance of such nomination with
the language used by the president
in his announcement, made the night
following his election, Nov. 8th, 1904.
it is hard to understand.
They will not charge him with in
sincerity, nor can they claim that
his statement was not conclusive.
Here is the presidents statement:
THE White House, Nov. s 1901
/ am deeply sensible of the honor
due to me by the American people in
expressing their confidence in what
/ have done and have tried to do.
II appreciate to the full the solemn
responsibility this confidence i'm
poses upon me, and / shall do all
that in my power lies not to forfeit
it.
"On the fourth of March next l
shall have served three and a half
years, and this three and half years
constitute my first term. The wise
custom which limits the president to
two terms regards the substance and
not the form.
Under no circumstances will be
candidate for or accept another
nomination
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
But this is not all.
When John Morley visited the
president, soon after that announce
ment. he talked with Mr.. Roosevelt
about the words constitute my first
term" The president said to MIR.
Morley that his first term was really
the one for which Mr., Mckinley had
been elected, and his second term
would be the one to which he had
himself just been chosen. Mr.. Nor
ley declares that the president then
used these words:
Il wished the people to under
stand when / said constitute my
first term that there were. and there
are, no strings tied to my refusal
again to be Candidate
Concerning this announcement by
the president and the precise mean
ing he later attached to it in his
interview with Mr. Morley, the New
York Sun Of recent date says:
THE revival Of the exact words
used and of the precise meaning at
tached to them, by the man who used
them, should bring to an end much
casuistry on the part of those who
should have more confidence in the
president than. apparently, they
would have in themselves under GER
tain circumstances

Does human health depend on one
organ alone? This question is beoom'
ing widely discussed since L. I,
Cooper first advanced his theory that
the stomach is the true seat Of life
and all health dependent upon it.
Mr.. Cooper, who has met with Re
narkable success in the sale Of his
new medicine, believes that the stom-
ach is responsible for most sickness,
and that this organ is weak in the
present generation. While discussing
this theory recently, he said: I am
asked time and again TO tell why my
medicine has made such q record
wherever I have introduced it Ny
answer always is, because it restores
the stomach to a normal condition.
No one will deny that today there are
more half-sick men ind women thar
ever before. Nothing critical seems TO
be the matter with them. They are
just half-sick most OF the time. They
don't know really what is the matter
with them. l have talked with thou
sands during the past two years, and
few knew indeed what their trouble
was. One said nervousness. another
said kidney trouble, another liver com
plant, some constipation, or heart
trouble, or lung trouble. Many had
treated, as they called it. for most of
these diseases at different times. A
very common complaint is all run
down or tired all the time or no
appetite"
Il know positively that every Bit of
this chronic i'll health is caused by
stomach trouble, and nothing else. Ny

sound condition in about six weeks.

jeff. Browne says that we can get

and the thing is done. That is not
the straightforward, clear-cut way to
confront great issue and beat the
case on its merits. Put the question
squarely to the people and let each
voter register his will. Get prohibit

stay there. To impose a prohibitory
license looks like cOnceding that the

Live Oak Democrat.
But that isn't all. The principle
of license is wrong. It's like levying
blackmail. It means to grant i'm
munity for a money consideration
the amount of the consideration does
not change the nature of the transac.
ton. If the business of vending
liquors for beverage purposes is as
productive Of crime. pauperism and
misery as it has been depicted. the
state of Florida ought to be above
saying to any man, "if you'll pay
our price, you may proceed with this
business of debauching our young
men" We don't like this latest JEFF
Browne idea just little bit.

AS an illustration of the great in
terest displayed in the Florida State
Fair, to be held in Tampa, February
5th to 22d, and in Florida, President
T. J. J.. Brown has to date received
nearly 5000 personal letters from res
idents of other states, who wish to
attend the fair and express the in
tention of locating in Florida if they
can find suitable places for homes.
This number of letters is increasing
in volume daily, and it is estimated
that the fair will bring to Florida
fully 1900 people who would not
come otherwise. This number, ad-
ded to the thousands and thousands
of tourists who visit the state annu-
ally, will fill Florida from one end
to the other, and guarantee an i'm
mense increase in valuable and
thrifty citizens. The number of de-
sirable immigrants that will be
brought to Florida by the coming
fair will be larger than that brought
to Florida by all fairs combined held
in years past, including the most
successful fairs held in Tampa. No
county in Florida can afford to be
without representation in the various
departments of exhibition, and from
the manner in which counties are en-
listing it is evident that not many
will fail to answer the call of pro-
gress

The Jacksonville Boomerang

One of the most disgraceful acts
ever perpetrated by men having or
binary intelligence was the resolu-
ton adopted by the Business Mems
League supposedly liquor dealers),
of Jacksonville, last Friday, when
they condemned and called upon the
school board to stop the children in
public schools from being taught the
doctrines of prohibition, the singing
of prohibition songs, and listening to
the prohibition addresses. This is a
deadly parallel to the speech of one
of the officers of the Ohio State
Liquor League, when he told the as
sembled saloon men that "the future
of your business depends upon the
creation of appetite among the boys,
and that nickels spent in treats with
the boys will return dollars to your
tills after the appetite has been form
ed" Must the cradle and school
houses be robbed of our boys to keep
the saloon men in business? This
one act of the Jacksonville business
men, should turn the vote of every
father for prohibition.-St Lucie Co.
