GENERAL CONFERENCE
METHODIST CHURCH

into the metropolis on the Chesa-
peake. People of all sects and of none
have joined in welcoming the Method
lst hosts and the spirit of Maryland
hospitality is everywhere in evidence.
Nearly all of the 500 delegates are
now here. and, as most of them have
brought their wives and children, the
task OF providing adequate accommo-
dauOnS has not been a small one. In
addition to the regularly accredited
delegates, thousands of other visitors
are IN the city and more are constant
Iy arriving. 1t is believed that 10000
Will be here during the month.
Baltimore will have to go deep into
its money bags today to pay for the
glory OF entertaining the QuadrenniaI
session OF the general conference
The delegates are expected TO pay
nothing. As they travel in good style
and stay at good hotels. the cost of
the entertainments viii be no small
sum. There has been no great COM
petition among the Baltimore hotels
for the Methodist patronage, owing
TO the fact that the delegates are alb
stemious in their tastes and at the
obstetrics where the delegates are

The Inland Waterways Convention
meets in Mobile tomorrow. and it is
important that there Should he a full
delegation from Pensacola. The OBJ
lect of this convention is to promote
The construction of an inland canal
from New Orleans by way of Mobile
and Pensacola to Apalachicola. This
enterprise is sure to be completed
Eooner or later, and the sooner the
better for the people of the gulf
coast. The natural Waterways are
such that it will be only necessary
to dig nine miles of canal between
Mobile and Pensacola, and between
this city and Apalachicola there will
be forty miles of canal way. The
permanent and enormous advantage
in the matter of freight rates, com
peting with the railroads, is incalcu.
liable. This waterway will also make
Pensacola a direct competitor with
Mobile for gulf freights. Our chamber
OF coEmerce is deeply interested in
this matter, and. the whole people OF
Pensacola should feel an equal inter.
est. We can get government assist
ance to build the canal if We are
properly alert.

AS to the
Office of Sheriff.

There is perhaps no office in the
county more important than that OF
sheriff No matter how good the laws
may be, they are dead letters until
they are enforced, and the sheriff is
the man charged with their enforce
ment. He should represent the very
best type of manhood in the county,
and his personality should be so
strong and clean and clear-cut that
all classes of the people could look
to him with faith and confidence and
realize that no matter how grave the
emergency. he would be equal TO it.
No elective officer in any state so
thoroughly personifies the law in the
popular mind as does the sheriff, and
for that reason he should be man
of superior strength of character, al
ways dominated by clear, cool judg,
ment. resolute purpose. and a con
science as unfailing to high sense OF
duty as the needle is to the pole.
The Leesburg Commercial, in its
last issue. says it ali in few plain
words. as follows:
The office of sheriff rs a very re-
sponsible one, and the man best suit
ed to fill the place should be voted
for. Let every voter in the county
lay aside personal matters and elect
20 the office a man who Will do his
duty and obey the laws.

The editor Tor editress) of the Ar
cadia Champion has been looking into
the motives behind the bitter assaults
now being made on Governor Brow
ard by a few papers in the state, and
has reached the following conclusion
which is specially interesting because
it comes from a woman, the sex which
believes in fair play in all scraps be-
tween the lords of creation in which
they have no personal irg crest to bias
their judgment:
We have been investigating the
reason why several editors of the
state are such bitter enemies of the
governor, and find that without excep-
ton it is purely on personal grounds.
they having conceived the idea be-
cause they voted and worked for
Broward in the previous election. he,
the governor, should be under obliga-
ton to confer appointments on them
regardless cf their fitness or eligibil-
ity. This the governor declined to
do, thus earning their hatred. There
are some people in Florida who have
no conception of doing right for right
sake, therefore are aggrieved if they
are not paid and can see no good in
the man who does his duty regardless
of friend or foe."

John C. Collins, editor of the True

date for delegate to the national con
vention. and he puts himself in OppO-
sition to Mr. Bryan's nomination as
follows:
The editor of this newspaper, John
G. Collins, will also appear on the
official ballot as delegate to the Den
yer convention. He admires all the
good there is in Mr.. Bryan, but does
not believe he would make the strong
est and best candidate for president,
and would personally prefer any one
of those mentioned who would har-
mcniZe the national democratic party,
with the best chances of electing a
democratic president, and asks FlOri-
dians who think like he does to vote
for him as a delegate to the conven-
ton. on these terms. John Collins
tries to deceive no one. He does not
believe William J. Bryan can be elect,

however, he would work and vote for
the nominee of his party. as he has
never failed TO do all the years of his
voting life.

Retire from Athletics.-Captain Ben
Youn gof the high school basketball
team, and Hull, Dewend, Melvin, Park
hurst, Reeves and Woodyatt, members
of high schoot fraternities, have hand
ed in their suits and have retired from
participation in school athletics, for
the present at least. Hartzell has sig
nified his intention of turning in his
suit also, though to date he has failed
to do so. He has, however, retired
from the basketball squad. The ac-
ton follows the edict CT the board of
education which places a ban on high
school fraternities and prohibits fra
ternity men from participation in ath-
letics. The boys are steadfast in their
determination to maintain active mem
bership in their organizations, and
whatever athletic work they engage in
will be independent of the school. Two
basketball games are scheduled for
this week, one with the second team
of Rock Island high school in Rock
Island Friday evening, and the other
with the crack Muscatine high school
team. probably in Davenport Saturday
evening. How tn Moline team will
line up is not determined, as new
quintet must be developed.

NUT CRACKERS.

Are you tired Of serving the same
old crackers each time you have
salad? Try the following:
Take equal quantities OF English wal
nuts and pecan meats; chop them in a
bowl. Over the top Of each cracker
spread a thin coating Of the beaten
white Of an egg. then spread thickly
with the CHOPPED nuts, sprinkling
liberal bit Of salt over all: and put
in the oven just g minute to dry and
brown.
The only particular part in preparing
these crackers IS the browning, as they
require constant watching.
1t is better to chop the nuts with
knife. but If q chopper IS used be sure
TO use its coarsest teeth. and do not
use the prepared nut butter, az the
taste is By no means the same.
with ali kinds Of meat or vegetable
salads. tea and coffee, these nut
crackers are delicious.
