Language for Gentlemen.

Baltimore American: 49, Mai.
John NJ. Burke, Buffalo Bills
right bower, press agent, and gen
eral manager, was at the Rennet
yesterday with his usual beaming
face and, as ever, redolent of OPP
timism.
I'll am not a professional refor-
mer," said the gallant major, Shut
| would like to see the American
people abandon the swearing habit.
"We are as Il nation too prone
to use cuss words whenever things
don't 60 right or our feelings are
hurt. 1t seems TO me that real
profanity should be tabooed by all
who aspire to be considered gentle
men 50 rs to create II sentiment
that the use of such eXpletives is
mark of vulgarlty and ruffian-
ism.
"Instead of ugly oaths when
laboring under excitement, the
coming generation should be
taught to empty only near swear
words, such as by the jumping
Jehosaphat, by lingo Gee, by
the beard Prophet aud the like.
"The late jim Hoog, governor
of Texas, one of my best friends,
used the innocent, but blood curd-
ling phrase, by goodlings, whenever
his hot southern blood got in
famed.
IA great number of prominent
Americans get on very well with
out using actual profanity. Col
onel Cody, though frontiersman
all his life and accustomed to the
society of men who handle the
mother tongue careleSsly, is not
given to blasphemous speech. The
colonel, when worked up, has been
known TO say 'dog-gone it and
dad blame it and now and then
'dod CAST it, but this is the limit
of bis impassioned vocabulary"

silion by virtue Of their weakness
and inappIicability.
As to the question Of good
roads, per Sc, there is not Il voice
in opposition, AS to the plans
and schemes for procuring them,
there is II very wide variance of
opinion. Any plan contemplating
state construction would involve
the selection of localities through
which the roads would be built,
and this would involve the hostil-
ity of other localities not so favor
ed. Anything like II complete
system TO cover the state sulH~
GENTLY to remove this objection,
would make the enterprise so
large that it could not DO com
pleted in time to do this generation
much good. About the smallest
outlined scheme we have seen in
wolves no less than Il thousand
miles Of roadway. This would
cost from two to five thousand dol
lars n mile, laying upon the state u
burden of two to five million dol
lars-manifestly impossible.
Under the circumstances, the
Times begs leave to repeat it's
previous suggestion that each
locality that is able shall build
all the good roads it can. When
these small local systems of road
are completed, or far advanced,
other adjacent localities might at
tach other systems to them Mt tho
nearest point of contact. For in
stance, Barlow and Orlando are
centers of considerable systems.
Hillsborough has reached out
nearly to its eastern border. Let
Polk county connect with Hills
borough. 1t might follow that
Lakeland and Kissimmee would
exert themselves to catch on to
these roads when completed, and
the connection with Orlando
would not he Il task of much diff
Guilty or any great time. From
Plant City, in this county,
the branch road running north
might be extended to the county
line and thence by other counties
to Ocala. Each county could
do its share of the work, and by
and by there would be II tolerable
system of sufficient size to be Of
great value.
This is, in our opinion, the only
practicable way of getting good
roads. And then it will be some
years after their completion be
fore they will fully and self-cvi-
IDENTIFY justify their cost. We Of
this county know what that is,
rs well as the tax for maintenance.

ABOUT GOOD ROADS.
Here Are the Most Sensible
Views Yet.

The HERALD is opposed to the
establishment in this State of Il
bureau Of public roads asprovided
for in Il proposed bill now being
circulated for the purpose of get
ting support with view to being
introduced in the next legislature.
Touching this matter, the most
sensible views which we have yet
seen expressed appeared in u late
issue of the Tampa Times and are
as follows:
The debatable features of the
subject are the matter of cost, the
ability of communities or state to
bear them, the methods employed
to Dulld them and the location
thereof. A man or u paper can
hold the view that the cost of
good roads in Florida would be
so great that they would not pay
except in those localities which are
financially the best able, and still
be an enthusiast on their behalf.
Another may favor the consiruc-
ton Of u complete system by the
state, and yet conceive only of
methods and plans that would be
loaded down with inevitable oppo-

Mr.. StOcktOn's Unlitness.
EDITORIAL

'''"N'"S 'A'' 'l'NNIOu SpNCIllpl VI
Florida have never been denied or
answered by his advocates. Sum
married., they are as follows:
First he is impulsiye, impetu.
Gus, rash, and therefore likely to
do things that ought not to be
done, things that might scri.
ousIy and iniuriously affect the
interests of the entire State.
Second, he is and always has
been u bitter partisan, II fact admit
ted by his most persistent sup
porter the Tallahassee Sun, which
recently said that this characters
tic had in times past led him to
say andto do things that should
not have been said or done. This
one defect of character should
alone be sufficient to cause u pat
triotc people to reject him at the
polls, for such Il man as governor
would be very likely to stir up
strife and dissension throughout
the State.
Third, his supporters boast of
his independence, which is II good
trait in some men, but II bad one
in Mr.. Stockton, rs was shown
some years agQby his boiling the
Democratic nominations in Duval
county and running as nm indie
pendent candidate for the legisla-
ture. More recently, this churac-
teristic appeared IN his letter to
Judge Stewart, of DeLand,, in
which Mr.. Stockton said in effect
that, unless the results were salts
factory to him, he would not APP
point county officers in compliance
with the wishes of the people as
expressed in primary elections.
We submit that this kind of indie
pendence Is very Objectionable.
Fourth, Mr.. Stockton belongs
to the faction of which Governor
Broward is II conspicuous member
and is in cordial accord with him
on the policies of that faction, and
he may be depended on to persist
in carrying them out. These poll
cies, rs we have seen, have result
cd in an increase of taxes, the
wholesale pardoning of criminals,
outright gifts of $1,000 fees of the
peoples money to favored lawyers,
contemptuous disregard Of the re-
suits of county primaries and the
recommendations of county COM
mittees, neglect of official duties
at Tallahassee, the perfecting of Il
State political machine and
other highly Objectionable fea'
lures, which are repugnant to the
wishes and spirit of the patriotic
and progressive people Of Florida
Fifth, as is well known, Mr..
Stockton is the implacable polili-
cal foe of Senator Taliaferro and
Congressman Clark; and should he
be chosen governor, there would
be no harmony, no cooperation
between him and our representa-
tives it Washington. Indeed, his
bitter partisan spirit would bctray
him into efforts to dlscredit them
by trying to thwart their plans
and purposes in Washington and
thus inhict injury upon Florida.
If we want our State to continue
TO receive blessings from the ma
tional government, there must be
harmony between onr governor
and our members of Congress,
and this cannot be, if Mr.. Stock
ton is made governor.
Sixth, those who know Mr..
Stockton best and are, therefore,
better Judges than all others OF his
character, his fitness and qualifica'
tons, his neighbors in his home
ward of Jacksonville and OF his
home county Of Duval, by their
votes virtually advise the people
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1908-06-04

of Florida not to make him gov
ernor. In the late primary, they
gave Il majority of l5S against him
in his home ward and n majority Of
1868 against him in his home
county Would any sane person
regard that vote as Il recommends
ton!
As q seventh objection showing
Mr. Stockton's personal selfshness
in his political designs, we might
present in detail the successful
scheme of himself and his close
allies, whereby they control the
financial affairs of jacksonville
and Mr.. Stockton gets the benefits
and is given pecuniary advantages
that would not be bestowed upon
any one outside of his political
circle, while his confederate, Mr..
j. NJ. Bars, under this scheme is
the perpetual city attorney of
jacksonville; and we might justly
argue from this that the political
triunvirate to which Mr.. Stockton
VIGOROUSLY belongs, contemplates
n similar scheme of State iinan-
ciering for the benefit of them
selves and their immediate allies.
But the six objections given above,
which have never been answered
and cannot be confuted by Mr..
Stockton's most ardent advocates,
ought TO be sufficient to convince
any one having the true interests
of the State at heart that it would
be Il very grave mistake indeed to
elect Mr.. Stockton governor Of
Florida.
On the other hand, not a single
one of the above objections can be
urged against General Gilchrist,
whose neighbors know him to be
Il heightened, honorable g.ntle-
man, with no selfish ends in view
Il man, who, notwithstanding the
outrageous ISLANDERS now being cir
culatcd against him, cannot be
swerved from course of rectitude
and earnest devotion to the inter-
ests of the State by all his friends
put together, much less by the
keepers of bar-rooms and the
agents of corporations. These
people, if they are supporting
him, are doing so because they
know him to be a fair, just, hon
orable man, and it is an Infamous
SANDER to say that they will con-
troll him.
