The Publication
of Campaign Contributions.

The Jacksonville Metropolis is in
favor of the publication of campaign
contributions and expenditures and
says:
The demand for a national law re-
qniring the publication of all mon
eys contributed and expended in
elections, is being made throughout
the country. Such a law, rigidly
enforced, would do more to abolish
the evil because it would give the
people an opportunity to know some
thing of the extent of the campaign
fund practice, and open their eyes
to the source of the debauchery in
elections. The part taken in the ma
tional elections by the trusts would
be in the nature of a shocking reve-
lation. To this end full publicity as
to all political contributions in feder-
al elections, is the only effective
method of decreasing, if not abolish
ing, a system OF corruption that
threatens our free institutions
What the Metropolis says is true
and it is equally as applicable to state
politics as TO national politics.
If it would be a good thing to have
a national law requiring the pUblica-
ton of all moneys received and ex-
pended in a national campaign, it
would be a good thing also for a state
law requiring similar publication of
the financial side of state and county
campaigns.
Let us have both and let Florida
show her approval of the plan by en-
acting a state law to that effect at
this session of the legislature:

John 0reenleaf Whlttier.


The centenary of Whittier, who was
born Dec. II, 1907, finds his fame
resting far short OF worldwide recog-
nitlon. Whittier did not attempt to
voice the heart of the world. Stin
there have been poets Of the local and
the simple life whose verse has stirred
the nations, Perhaps when American
pastoral life has become classic, when
its beauty. simplicity and independ-
ence have impressed the foreigner llv-
ing In close contact with 1t, the singer
of its fresh, clear notes will win an
audience as wide II not so vast as that
Of Burns,
Whittier was a singer. What he
wrote seemed to be pressed out by an
oyerpowering sense that what was go
ing ON In his out OF the way N9w
England home was glorious and wor-
thy to be glorlfled on the printed page
He sang ballads; he sang love songs;
he sounded paeans to freedom. His
whole life was passed In single coun-
ty OF single state In his verse there
is no sign of straining after new and
foreign ideals. The old ideals of his
ancestors was good enough. His emo
tons were peculiar to America and so
largely shared by the Americans Of his
time that ne can be called distinctive
~ the poet Of America. In his Cen
tennial Hymn" aud In THE Eternal
Goodness" is reflected the deep re-
llglous feeling OF his time and coun-
try. The one is song OF heaven In
epired endeavor; the other breathes
that childllke trust which comes from
simple religious faith.
In skipper lreson's Ride" Whittier
has handed Down a legend OF his own
seacOast environment, In '''rhe Angels
Of Buena Vista" a legend OF American
hattleflelds and In barbara Friet-
chie' what he doubtless believed to be
true as well as a pathetic episode Of
the civil war. These stories In verse,
together with the ode The Barefoot
Boy" are the best known aud most
popular OF Whlttier's short poems.
Surely 1t required mind studded with
the imagery Of country life to conceive
those opening lines Of Barbara Fret.

Wrecked by a Whale.

While cruising in the south seas the
whaler Essex was furiously attacked
by a COW sperm whale supposed to
have been the mother of a calf which
had just been harpooned The whale
had not been wounded herself, and her
attack was very determined. At her
first rush she passed under the Essex
and carried away a great length of her
false keel; then, coming to the surface
q considerable distance away, she ap-
peared to take bearings and deliber-
ately charged the vessel again, ram
ming her with such violence that she
stove in the bows, while the ship roll
ed so heavily that the captain thought
she must be dismasted. The case is
memorable because the crew had to
abandon the vessel, and one boat was
never heard of again.-Baily's Maya

poetry. But he was not an imitator.
He was himself, Art never cramped
and ambition never warped his muse,
80 we read him with the assurance
that 1t was force from within, not a
call from without. which moved and
guided his song
Whittier's character was not az
austere as might be inferred from
printed portraits of him and from
some Of his writings This is shown
by the manner In which he answered
attacks upon the Barbara Frietchie
incident After the poem became IA
nous one of StOnewall Jackson's star
officers stated in print that his chief
never saw Barbara Frietchle as re-
cited in the poem and that Barbara
never saw Jackson. Thus challenged.
Whittier answered in print: THE poem
Barbara Frietchie' was written in
good faith. The story was no inven-
ton of mine. 1t came to me from
sources which | regarded as reliable.
1t had been published In newspapers
and had gained public credence In

poem was written. had no reason to
doubt it's accuracy then, and am still

Barbara Frietchie was an actual per
son and was on the scene where the
poem places her. Mrs. Southworth,
the novelist, wrote the story OF her

NINE EXPLOSIONS

The frequency of coal mine explos-
ions with their great loss OF life sug-
Eests the thought that there IL some
thing wrong with the management
Il liz probable in these days OF COM
mercialism the owners of the mines
pay too little attention to the safety
of their employees. They are too Gag
or to make money at the expense of
keeping their mines properly venti-
lated and In safe condition. Where
these explosions are the result of im-
proper ventilation the proprietors
should be prosecuted for criminal
oarelessness, aud II there are no laws
IN the coal mining states covering
these things there should be.
II Is true that from the CONNER
oialized view one life or one thous-
and lives are not counted worth much
because there are others to take
their places; but the mental suffer
ing, misery and want following such
disaster as that which occurred In
Pennsylvania yesterday Is appalling
and the owners OF the mines are re-
sponsible to q greater or less extent,
but In too many cases they consider
1t cheaper to pay few thousand dol
lars for lives lost than TO equip their
mines with modern methods of safety
at continual expense, These things
are not right. but they are too sadly
true.
