TOLSTOrS LATEST

The tremendous denunciation hurled at the House of Romanoff and its satellites and systems and the myriad atrocities attributable to them, by the venerable apostle of human freedom, Tolstoi, is one of the noblest pleas against the last stand of tyranny and civic murder that has been penned in a century. It is the one passionate outcry of man grown old in the awful fight for human rights against the human lust for power, and is written as the very martyrs write when they know their hour is near and seek to hasten 1t,
 To the needless world at large 1t offers an accounting for all that Is detestable in the Russian character, for its lines reveal the dreadful courses that have warped a splen- did people to the dregs of moral and spiritual life and made brute strength and brutish vengeance the commanding characteristics of 6 great nation.
 The document is certain to ere. ate a profound impression every where and may start a revolution in the land where, and for which it was written. It may not be lightly answered if there is conscience or a heart left in high places at Saint Petersburg, and wondering world awaits the response that must come. Tolstoi took care that its reading should be made possible throughout the civilized world at one and the same time, and silence In the autocratic circles of Russia will be construed as full and una voidable confession of it's dreadful truths.

was more glorious than If they had captured some strong position in disobedience to the commands of the officers whom they had sworn to obey, It is not necessary to go as far as far as stevenson did when he said that whatever else we are meant for, we are not meant to succeed. But it is necessary to recognize that we are meant to be true, success or no success. It may be nobler thing to lead in vain a forlorn hope than tp plant our colors on the very citadel of the enemy. Failure to be faithful is the only failure.

The statement made by T. j.. Dolan, president of the Interna. tional Brotherhood of Steam Sho- velers and Dredgemen, in present. ing MT. Taft with an honorary membership in the organization of which he is the official head, af- lords fair indication of the esteem in which MT. Taft is held by labor ing men who have served under him and with him. It was, ih @ way, the statement of . fellow worker, the statement of a man who had seen MT. Taft's sentiments and sympathies put to practical test, and that ought to count for g great deal more than theoretical professions.

THE LOCAL PAPER

The following well-oh3sen words are taken from an address made before body of Chicago retailers, recently, by Wesley A, Stranger, advertising manager of the Office Outfitter, one of Chicago's largest concerns. The truth of the remarks demonstrate that MT. Stranger is no stranger to the subject in hand, He said:
 "The local newspaper is the greatest thing the retailer has if he will use it right, but a large pro- portion are too prone to believe that the editor will take care of their interests whether they look after his or not. This is wrong. If merchants as class would only take advantage of their opportuni- ties that the local newspapers af- ford them they would reap rewards far beyond their fondest dreams.
 While self-preservation is the first law of nature, editors of local papers have habit of letting self interest go to the limit when it comes to a question of serving the community. For this they are en- titled to recognition which they rarely receive.
 No doubt the retailers have en- outraged them as far as sentiment goes, They have undoubtedly said that they approved of the editors methods and called him a "good boy", but in how many cases have they fallen short in the real en- couragement that counts? How often have they neglected to use his columns, thinking they were clever in il?
 In failing to patronize him they have killed the goose that laid the golden egg.
 You must get behind your local editor and push for all you are worth. He gives you two dollars back for every dollar you invest with him. He furnishes for you at his own expense one of the highest assets which you possess-the me dium through which you let the people know what you have to sell. Within recent years the mail order proposition has been somewhat bothersome. The editors of the country have done more than all others combined to win business back into normal channels and to re-convert the farmer and general consumer to the logical belief in home trading,
 'The country editor refuses to take profits from your enemy, even when the enemy will pay more than you will. He refuses to &C., cept business from the mail order store in the distant city, and even goes further by telling how super for the local store is to the distant one and detailing the advantages of buying at home.
 Do not let ii be said of your community that you have let your editors work go unappreciated. Use his paper. Make him prosper ouf and yourself rich by doing so. If you have foolish ideas about the non-productiveness of advertising, throw them off and try it out. One try will Iro"e nothing. If it Is successful, so much the better, but the constant use of the paper in an Intelligent manner will produce the results.

FIGHT STARTED IN EscAMBIA COUNTY

The two above kilograms tell in a
few words that the Republicans of
Florida are hOpelessly divided, and
those close in touch with the politics
of the party all over the country an
ticipate that the fight OF yesterday is
forerunner OF what is TO occur in
many of the states of the union, eS-
pecially where there is opposition to
the Taft boom and to Roosevelt.
That there would be a row no one
doubted Two delegations went from
Pensacola and asked TO be seated
Two also went from Jacksonville, but
that the differences would grow to
such proportions was not anticipated,
even by those closely in touch with
the situation.
That it will be a disappointment
to the Taft and Roosevelt adherents
goes without saying, for with con-
testing delegations going to the Ma
tional Republican convention, and the
fact that one of the delegations are
supporters of Taft and are principal
~ officeholders, will have its effect.
This is especially so when it be-
comes known throughout the country
that Florida, the first state to hold a
convention is hopelessly divided, with
one delegation avOwedly for Taft ask

Daniel Houghton, for many years
gulf pilot and steamboat captain,
was drowned yesterday morning about
8 O'Clock He fell from the coast
steamer Manteo, of which he was first
mate. as that vessel was leaving Mo-
bile harbor for Pensacola on the trip
to Tampa, and although every effort
was made by Captain Mclaughlin,
master of the vessel, and the crew,
no assistance could be rendered, nor
the body recovered The vessel was
going at almost full speed when Cap
tain Houghton fell overheard, and con-
sequently, had gone some distance be-
fore she could return to the point
where the accident occurred.

sage on the first steamer sailing west
after the arrival at Queenstown or
Liverpool, of the Cunard Line Steam
ship company, upon which, his at
torney says, Morse sailed from here,
last Saturday. Beardman was asked
whether he could produce Morse
should that gentleman be wanted.
NO. he replied, but at the request
of United States District Attorney
Stimson, l have cabled Mr.. Morse at
Liverpool to come back, and l have
reason to believe that he will return
at once
1t is pointed out by his friends to-
day that the effect upon the health of
Morse. of seeing his once great for
tune melt away, was such as to make
it probable that he secured passage
through others. in order to avoid in
terruption to his much-needed rest,
which would be certain TO follow
should his presence on shipboard be
generally known.
The disclosures Of the troubles OF
Morse followed each other in rapid
succession today One of these was
to the effect that the creditors of the
banks might unite in making him an
involuntary bankrupt. thereby absorb
ing the remnant of his fortune.

Wife and Children Here.

Captain Houghton's home was in
Pensacola, and he is survived by
wife and three small children, who
reside at No. 604 West Romano street.
They were notified as soon as the
steamer moored at Pafafox wharf yes
terday morning, and then Captain Nc
Laughlin proceeded TO the custom
house, where he made report OF
the accident to the collector of Gus
toms, as is required by law. During
the day the flag OF the Manteo was ar
half mast The vessel, after remain
ing in Pensacola all day, resumed her
trip to Tampa last night about $50
O'Clock, the master having secured an
other pilot ar this port.

ing to he seated wtila 80 other goes
uninstructed. Which delegation is to
be seated depends upon how the pres
ent national committee stands to-
wards Taft.
A prominent Republican, who while
not in politics in his party. but never
theless closely in touch with the inner
workings, last night said:
The fight of today in ST. Augustine
may grow to tremendous proportions
before the meeting OF the national
convention. Taft had depended upon
Florida. being as il is the first state
to meet, to unanimously endorse him.
This would naturally have its effect
upon other states, as they would then
have no opportunity of getting out Of
line. But instead of doing so the
state had done just the opposite, and
has given those states just the oppor-
tunity they wanted, that of sending
uninstructed delegations.
I'm Florida there is feeling
against what is known as the state
organization, composed principally of
officehoIders, and in other states there
is a similar feeling, but probably not
so strong / expect that what trans
pired today in st. Augustine will be
repeated in other conventions to be
held in the near future
