Roman spirit of heroic remuneration

that if fhe Independence League

While there is no danger of the loss
OF an elector in this state, il is a good
thing to pile up the popular vote as
high as possible. There are election
tables in which every absent vote
counts against the party.
The press of the state would do we'll
TO take up the matter and stimulate
the people to such a full and enthus

mOcratic platform even though Taft

Shut Off the License,

Credit is due the present board of
county commissioners for the intrepid
manner in which they nave handled
the saloon question. In North Miami,
that hot-bed of vice, where numerous
tragedies have occurred, they nave re-
fused TO grant permits for the sale of
liquor. This refusal has been net
with hard fight on the part of the
saloon keepers and tneir adherents,
but the board have been firm in the
stand they have taken. If all the Of
ficers and officials who come in con-
tact with the sale of liquor would see
to 1T that the laws are strictly obey
ed a great deal of opposition to the
liquor traffic would cease. On the
part OF the saloon keeper it * mys-
terry that he shows so little common
sense in relation to his business. He
should know that tae ultimate result
of doing things contrary to law and
in open defiance of the law is only
increasing the force of opposition that
besets him. In Dade county especially
there are saloon keepers who by open
ly and defiantly breaking the laws
are only making the way for a dry
county.-West Palm Beach Sun.

Florida Tobacco the Best.

sold for a higher average price per
pound than that of any other state,
viz As cents. Georgia comes next at
40 cents The Connecticut product
brought only IL II cents, and although
Connecticut raised three times the
quantity, yet the Florida growers re-
ceived nearly 100000 more money for
theirs.

Of which Florida is credited with &c..
900 bushels, the average price being
