THE LOCAL FIRE-TRAP

Is there school house in your town.
or a theater or public hall DR. hotel
that is fiimsily built or without broad
stairs and proper exits, or with i'm
properly installed heating or lighting
plant, or that may be found at times
with the doors barred and the afsles
packed and with no facilities for fight :
ing fire at hand?
Out of every thousand fire. traps a
certain number will be sprung lin the
ensuing twelve months. This, in the
aggregate, is a matter of certainty
rather than of chance. So long as
there are fire traps some victims there
will be every year. If the fire trap is in
your town, you and your children and
your friends simply lie at hazard. con-
tlnually offering yourselves against
W hatever the odds may be.
This risk is by no means confined to
cities, as events of quite recent date
Lave tragically shown. Perhaps to-
Gay the bigger the city the smaller the
risk, for the cities have been scourged

RAILROADS And rum
Money and Booze PIentifu!Iy Used in
Jacksonville to Influence the
Voters Against Stockton
Montbrook, Fla. May 80, 1908.

Montbrook, Fla. May 80, 1908.
Editor Star:-Could the honest, fair
minded democrats Of Marion county De
in Jacksonville and learn the facts as
&c how the primary was run there
May 10Th, they would all vote one
way at the next primary.
The supporters Of all candidates
agree there has nevet before since re-
construction times, been quite so much
open and brazen corruption resCrted
TO by the supporters of the railroad
candidates.
Many people lay it to the saloon
influence in that city, where so 'mApu
hiskey men have recently STATED
from Georgia, but l believe that the
railroads exercised much rsoS infiu-
ence than the saloons.
The returns show that in the last
pr imary Mr.. Gilchrist received more
than one-fourth of his entire Aate
Vote in Duval and HiIlsborough coun-
ties. and that outside Of jacksonville
and Tampa, where the corpor&tloS and
saloon votes are concentrated AMI
where corrupt influences are so pow
erful, Mr.. Stockton received more
votes than Mr.. Gilchrist.
Are the Democratic voters of Flor
ida going to stand idly by and see
Jacksonville and Tampa dominate
Florida politics?
Mr.. Flaglers Florida East Coast
Railroad openly instructed their en-
Eioyees to vote for Mr.. Gilchrist and
other candidates favorable to them,
and actually fitted up headquarters in
Jacksonville where employees were
expected to report and receive instruc-
tipns and dummy ballots.
These employees were instructed to
trade their votes for local candidates
TO get as many votes as possible for
Mr.. Gilchrist for governor.
The A. c. l. also sent out requests"
TO their employees to vote for Mr.. Gill
christ. Other railroads did the same.
Nobody in Jacksonville denies that
Mr.. Gilchrist is the corporation candi-
date and even his supporters state
this is fact, and some of them say
that the attempt to prevent the rail-
roads from charging what they please
COR freight and passengers is as wrong
as to say a farmer should not charge
more for their produce than the con-
sumner wants to pay.
There is also concentrated effort to
DO away with the primary system
The Times Union and other corpora
ton papers are already advocating
conventions, and Mr.. Gilchrist is well
known TO favor conventions. Many
voters there are already expressing re-
gret that they voted for Mr.. Gilchrist
before and are now actively at work
for Mr.. Stockton.
/ believe that fully one fourth OF
those who voted for Mr. Gilchrist in
Jacksonville will now vote for Mr.
Stockton, because of the means used
liz his interest. The church people in
Jacksonville will be unanimously
against Mr.. Gilchrist next time as a
rebuke for the methods used

According to reports received In this

has come from two sources-one from
san Francisco and the other from Aus
tralia Irwin & CO.. the local agents
for the Oceanic Company, have heard
Of the rumors. but state that they
have not received any advices them
selves on the subject.
In the files of papers received from
Auckland on the Royal Mail liner Mo
vera, which came in last Friday. was
an article stating that the steamship
Sonoma would be the first of the
Oceanic boats to start back on the
Australian run. She was, according
to this report, to make her first trip
next month, leaving San Francisco on
February 4.
1t seems strange that no news should
have been made public from the Of
fees of the Oceanic Company. If such
is the case. Inc meeting OF tuS StoSh-
holders to consider the situation is to
be held in San Francisco on January
90, and final decision on the laying
up or, possible sale of the Sonoma,
Ventura and Sierra will be expected at
that time.
The second source from which the
story of the sailing of the Sonoma
came was through letter RECEIVED by
a local dealer from a San Francisco

Fiji Islands, and in stating the date
by which they must be delivered, at
tention was called to the fact that it
would not be necessary TO get them

the Colonies yesterday, but that they
might be sent by the Sonoma, which
would leave San Francisco on Febru-
ary 4, according to information re-
ceived on the Coast.

1t was explained at all the commits
sion warehouses called at yesterday
that the big drop in price between
July and August in hay is the regular
yearly change in the market conse-
quent on the new crop, coming in, al
though it is the opinion of Mr.. Dwight
that the big drop was in consequence
of the appearance of the new firm in
the business. The contention of the
feed dealers seems to be verified by
the fact that hay delivered by the
California Feed Company towards the
latter end of June, on the twentieth,
was invoiced at $4,000, three dollars
less than the price ON July l.
OTHER DEPARTMENTS PAY LESS.
The fact that at the present time the
garbage department is paying less for
its feed than the road department, both
In the same stables, is one of the para
doxieal things brough. about by the
present way of purchase.
For instance, the Union Feed Compa-
ny sent hay to the garbage department,
small order only, at the rate of s26.5O
a ton, while the foad department paid
at the rate of $3.50 for five hundred
bale order of the same brand of hay.
For barley the small department paid

PRICES BEING PAID.
The contention of Mr.. Dwight that
money is being saved the county by
the present manner of buying hay and
grain appears not to be borne out by
the figures on file in the office of the
County Auditor and the Road Super
visor.
According to these figures the aver
age total cost of hay and barley to
the county has not varied more than
few dollars since June 80 last, at
which time it was determined to make
the change. For July the supplies were
bought partly from the Union Feed
and partly from the California Feed
Company and the total cost to the
county was $12s27O. Last month all
the supplies were from Hustace-Peek
Company and the total was $12s3.7s.
For the six months the figures for hay
and barley, the principal items, are:
