The Law a Good One.

Charter Oak Times: "The
city council of Denison have
passed an ordinance forbidding
anyone selling milk or cream
in that city without a license.
To get a license they have pro-
vided that the cows and the
places they are kept must be
inspected by a State Inspector.
The law is a good one, designed
to help in the crusade against
tuberculosis. Milk is one of
the most active agencies in the
spread Of consumption, and
there is no easy chance of be-
ing too strict in taking care of
it."

During the recent high wat
er the Willow Creek ditch has
been greatly benefited. The
water was carried down safely
to the Boyer and the bottom Of
the ditch is now something over
three feet deeper than before
the raise. At one time the
water came pretty near the
danger line, but it did not go
over the banks. The Allen
Greek ditch has not had very
much water to carry so far this
spring and is in excellent con-
dition. We believe that with
another heavy raise, the Will
low Creek ditch will be cut
down to such an extent that
there will be no likelihood of it's
overdowing.

fore at sl.50 prices. Ladies
will be admitted free Monday
night under usual conditions.

"At that dinner" said one Of
the guests, II ate apples that
ripened more than 1900 years
ago; bread made from wheat
grown before the children of
Israel passed through the Red
sea, and spread with butter that
was made when Elizabeth was
queen Of England, and / wash
ed down the repast with wine
that was old when Columbus
was playing barefoot with the
boys of Genoa
The apples which formed part
of the dessert was grown before
Pompeii was overwhelmed; !!in-
fact, they were rescued from
its ruins. The wine was recov-
cred from an old vault in the
city Of Corinth, and the wheat
was found in a chamber in one
the Pyramids.
1t is interesting to know that
this antiquarian fare, was all
excellent, the fruit particularly
being described as of a fine
flavor as if it had just been ia
ken from the trees.

Compton in the Race.

A private note from Hon. j.
9. Compton, superintendent OF
education for Lake county, con-
tains the information that he has
decided to become o candidate for
State superintendent of public
instruction.
The editor of The HERALD has
known Prof. Compton for many
years and has always regarded
him as a gentleman of sterling
integrity and unquestioned ability.
Ever since Lake county was form
ed, he has managed it's school sys-
tenn with distinguished success,
having increased the term Of the
rural schools from three months
to five and raised them to a high
standard of efficiency. An appre-
citation of this fact has caused the
people Of that county to keep him
in Office all these years; and now
that he seeks higher Office, they
will give him a practically unani
nous support.
In our honest opinion, a bet
ter man for State superintendent
cannot be found; and if the peo-
pie should choose him, they will
never have cause to regret it,
He will discharge the duties of the
Office not only conscientlously,
but with the most painstaking
care, for he is man who loses
sight of no details, however insig-
nifcant, his object being absolute
correctness in everything; and he
applies himself to his duties with
all the energies of his mind and
strength.
He is thoroughly acquainted
with our educational system and
possesses every requisite for man
aging it with success, to the honor
Of himself and the satisfaction of
the people Of the State.
With our knowledge of his
ability and his lofty character, we
cannot but hope that the people
will place him in charge of our
State school system.

Editor Storrs, of the DeFuniak
Breeze, is candidate for rep
resentative from Whlton county,
If chosen, he will doubtless do all
he can In favor of the plans and
policies of the present State adj
ministration, but that should not
be argued against him, as no will
try to do many other things IN be-
half of the State, and a few harm
less sins in the matter of political
policies do not count as against
putting into the legislature a pro-
gressive, honest and conscientious
man like Storrs. But this must
not be construed as intimating that
MIR. Richbourg, who is a candidate
for denomination, is not gentle
man of similar character, for he
is. No matter which one is chos-
en-, Walton will have an excellent
representative.

right, then the people should be
reasonable, but few aspirants are
taking that line of defense.
Criticism of legislation that is
not enforced at the polls is worth
less. The men who merely talk
are promptly discredited' Voters
who fail to look after their own
interests should not be surprised
when others fail to do so, and we
should keep the party right rather
than make war on the party.
Judge the official by his work ;
reward good service nromptly and
punish bad service u lghly, if
you desire good government. The
waste Of public money is almost
universal, but those who permit it
are at least joined in suspicion
with those who perpetrate the
wrongs. After all, in America
the citizen wrongs himself when
he is hurt and there is small sym
pathy for the suicide.

What Of the Legislature?

The above question is asked by
the Times-Umon, which paper
answers it in a very timely edito-
rial that should have the careful
consideration of every voter.
Every man announcing himself as
a candidate for the Legislature
should be required to pledge him
self to use his best efforts TO rene
dy the evils about which so much
complaint has been made, and
the voters should consider wheth-
en- the candidates pledge is worth
anything. There are some people
whose promises are good for moth
ing, and it is possible that q few
such people may want to go to the
legislature. The voters should be
on their guard and select only
men who can be depended upon to
work faithfully and energeticalIy
in behalf of all the real interests
of the people.
Following is the Times Union
editorial alluded to:
In a state where it can hardly
be said that a political opposition
exists, we End the condemnation
of the late legislature almost
universal. Perhaps many of us
talk to hear ourselves make a
noise, but if we really condemn
the policies of the late session, it
is time we begin to take precau-
tons against a repetition of the
offenses against which we are sup
posed to complain. Policies are
made by men and a change must
come through a change of men.
Members are already asking fol
another nomination, and it might
be we'll to set up opposition in the
beginning rather than at the end
OF course plausible excuses will
be made why those elected to carry
out another line of policy should
promptly endorse all the demands
of the governor, but excuses
should not avail. If it can b.
shown that the governor was

Poor Editor Holly!

The weekly edition of the Or
lando Keporter-Star, which came
here recently, awakened much
sympathy in this Office for Editor
Holly, who has been Seeing
things," and that too in a dry
town, as he says. One morning
he saw a man with no feet sitting
on the curb; the next morning, a
man with no hands, and ever since
he has been expecting to see
one with no head and pink mon
keys and red mice climbing the
awning poles.
Accordingly, he sat down and
wrote this editorial paragraphs:

Almost every observant news
paper editor in the State has
doubtless recognized the fact that
one of the truly remarkable men
of Florida is DR.. Lincoln Hulley,
of Stetson University. A great
responsibility rests upon him and
he is carrying it in the most adj
mirable manner. Details of OPP
posing circumstances that con-
front him and of his successful
efforts to discharge his duties, are
familiar to newspaper people, who
refrain from discussing them for
the simple reason that it is "none
of their BUSINESS" nevertheless,
they cannot help admiring and
sympathizing with the man
who devotes himself so earnestly,
increasingly and unwearyingly ito
his great work. This will account
for the large amount of gratu-
itious advertising which is given
to Stetson University.
