STRAUB GONE WILD

The state press. with the exception
of the corporation organs, is strong
ly in favor of the boom of John y.
: c. Stockton for governor. All the ed
itOrs declare him to be the best man
of ali for the position as being the
most capable. fearless and honest in
all his public duues.-St Petersburg
Times, Dec Is.
Editor Straubs pugnacity seems 10
have been so much aroused by his
fight with his neighbOr. Powell. that
he has grown reckless and INDUCES
! in blatant nonsense in rejecting upon
others of his journalistic cOmpeers
throughout the state.
/ Amongst the papers which are not
supporting Mr.. Stockton are the Fort
/ Myers Press, the Tampa Times. all
+ five Of the DeSOtO county papers, the
/ DUnnellOn Advocate. the Ocala Ban
Iner and many other reputable jour
/ mails, which cannot by any stretch Of
( the imagination be classed as cor
/ pOratiOn organs" and yet the plain
conclusion from Editor Straubs wild
exception" is that all the newspapers
which are not supporting Mr.. Stock
ton are corporation organs. "-Punta
Gorda Herald
Why deprive these pee-wee editors
Of their only argument II has done
long and faithful service and is a vet
eran of many campaigns. 1t is now
worse than a worm-eaten chestnut. It
was originally used to fool the people
and is still being used for the same
purpose, but the people are beginning
10 cut their wisdom teeth, and are
showing symptoms of growing tired
Of being used as a cats paw with
which to rake the chesnuts out Of
the fire for the fellows who are al
ways on the hot trail for office
When Mr.. Burr made his announce
ment for governor these organs piped
the same tune, but as soon as Mr.
Stockton made his announcement they
dropped Mr.. Burr cold and Topped
over TO Mr.. Stockton and said that
the organs that were not supporting
him belonged to the corporatiOns-Of
course including those. if any. that
were supporting Mr.. Burr.
The nonsense Of it all
The intention of these newspapers
is to deceive, and the newspaper that
Intentionally deecives its readers is
dishonest, and is fit for treason.

1T is not necessary here to com

however, which not a few people over
look because it bears directly upon
the body polite more than upon the

There is scarcely any phase of life

Prohibition becomes effective in As

will go into effect in the remaining
10 counties one year from today.
The state prohibition law recently
passed by the Georgia legislature also
becomes effective today.
Commenting on prohibition, Gov.
Hoke Smith a few days ago spoke as
follows:
over 100 counties in the state have
had prohibition for years. They have
ourgrowu counties situated similarly
which permitted the sale. There is
no doubt that prohibition is wise from
an economic standpoint. The over
wheiming sentiment of the white peo-
pie of Georgia is for prohibition. ana
the law will be enforced.

GOVERNOR BRowARD's REASON

| the reasons why he appointed so
youthful and inexperienced q man as
William James Bryan TO so dignifed
and important an office as United
J States senator.
The governors first and greatest
reason is the following:
The young mans intense patriot
ism"
Il would be interesting to know how
the governor measured the intense
patriotism" Of this young man.
! The essence Of patriotism is the
Fsacrihce and forgetfuIness Of self.
What sacrifices has this young man
made for the public veal?
Is his nearest bosom friend in a po-
sition TO point them out?
On what occasion has this young
man ever shown a forgetfulness Of
self?
Grant showed his patriotism by re-
fusing to accept the sword Of his van
pushed foe. and by saying to him and
his ragged veterans: Go to your
homes and obey the laws there i'll
force. and you will be protected in
your persons and property
This young man has never shown
anything but the black flag to the fac
ton that has been arrayed against
him.
Caesar showed his patriotism by the
rejection OF the kingly crown.
When the Office of prosecuting at
torney for the criminal court of rec
ord of Jacksonville was offered Mr.
Bryan he accepted it with alacrity.
Was that the measure of his patriot
ism?
/ When the more dignifed Office of
/ United States senator was offered him
he didn't reject it in favor Of others
of larger experience. but he accepted
it with haste, and with the bOastful
statement: Il am going to make the
people of my state the best senator
any state ever had"
| We submit in all seriousness and
candOr that these are not the express
siOns Of an intense patriot"
The second reason Governor Brow
ard gives for his appointment was
the young mans exceedingly clear
grasp of the great political problems
Of the day"
After the close of the civil war. Ben
Hill of Georgia attracted to himself
widespread attention by his Notes
on the Political Situation" Alexan-
der Stephens made himself immortal
by his great history entitled "TheI
War Between the States;" but Mr..
Bryan, so far as we know, has shown
his Exceedingly clear grasp of the
great political problems of the day"
by saving wood and saying nothing.
except perhaps to his immediate
friends.
The governors third reason is that
he showed his great ability as prose |
cutting attorney in Jacksonville bv !
successfully prosecuting an loo trust
Mr.. BRYAN prosecuted the ice trust
in Jacksonville and effected a COM /
promise.
Mr.. Edw. w. Davis. prosecuting at-|
torney for this judicial district. sue
cessfuIIv prosecuted the ice frnst in

Yet his most intimate friends have

A BOLD, BRAsH STATEMENT

lOFlQd Dy Governor BrOWard 10 NIL
the unexpired term Of Senator Nal
lory, deceased, has given out d most
remarkable statement for publication.
This statement has been printed in
many of the newspapers Of the coun-
Try, and as We have seen no contradic-
ton or denial of its genuineness, the
presumption is that il is authentic.
Among other things the young gen
tleman makes the following rather
rash prediction:
4 am going to make the people of
my state the best senator any state
ever had"
We devoutly and sincerely hope
that the young mans prophesy Of
himself may come true, yet it seems
TO us that it is a very brash statement
for a young man to make, and we are
extremely sorry that he was fresh
enough to do so.
So far as we are aware Mr.. Bryan
has done nothing to foreshadow so
much greatness.
He has made no great speech on
any of the grave and vexing questions
of state OF national import, so far as
we know, outside Of his own cOmmu-
nifty, and if he has made any there
they have not been printed, or if
printed, did not attract very general
notice
So far as we are aware he has
made no striking nor profound con-
tributions to any of the newspapers,
magazines, or other periodicals of the
country, offering a solution for any
of the absorbing problems that have
confronted us for the past decade.
He was at the head of Broward's
campaign committee, and distributed
Straub's cartoons-about $4,000 of
them.
We are told that Mr.. Bryan busted"
an ice trust in Jacksonville.
Mr.. Ed Davis did that in Ocala, but
it was not regarded such an over
whelming performance as to cover his
brow with a halo of glory.
Indeed, so many things of this sort
are done by the members of the Ocala
bar that they attract very little at
tention, and are looked upon as a mat
ter of course.
PrOphesying that he is going to
make the best senator any state ever
had" it seems to us that Mr.. Bryan
is assuming a very huge contract, for
some of the states have had senators
whose greatness has been reflected in
nearly every page of the nations his
tory-men who are remarkable for
their eruditiOn, OratOry, magnetism
and patriotism.
Massachusetts had Daniel Webster,
Charles Sumner, Henry Wilson, Rock
well Hoar. and others whom the "Old
Bay State" holds in precious memory
South Carolina had Calhoun, Hayne
and Hampton. and a long list of 9TH
ers who shed effulgent and imperish-
able glory on the proud Palmetto
State"
Kentucky had Clay and Breckin-
ridge, and Crittendon. and Carlisle:
whose fame rests eternal with that of
the nation.
Clay was a younger man when he
received the appointment to fiji out
an meXpired term in the senate OF
The United States, but he had already
won a national reputation by the part
he played as q member of the logisla-
wre and a member of the constitu- .
uonaI convention of his own state.
where he boldly advocated the 2boli- .
ton of slavery.
All the states have made valuable .
contributions To the senate Of the

Urges Support of Temperance Cause
and Tells Of Results.

Under the general topic of Reform the
members of the Woman's Literary Club of
Arlington were addressed by two repre-
sentative workers Of the Wonan's Chris
tian Temperance Union at the meeting of
the club held In Quincy Hall yesterday
afternoon.
Mrs. Isabella story, president of Hud-
son County w. c. T. U, who spoke in the
place of Mrs. Isabella Demarest, the
speaker scheduled to address the, club, took
the scheduled topic, 1.-THE Goal in Sight y
and said that the great moral movement
OF today was the temperance reform, and
that 1t required legislation to correct the
gigantic legal intemperance. DO you
realize" said Mrs. Story, that Sc, 600, GOO
of people are now living under prohibltory
law in our country, and that 1t is a sig
nifcant fact that the people have been
aroused in this great matter? They have
come TO realize that the saloon mocks at
the dignity of man and laughs at the law,
and that not one good thing can be said
Of It, or for It,"
Mrs. Story read the percentages of the
dry" and wet areas of a number of
States In the Union, making In all an en-
couraging status for temperance workers.
Mrs. Emma Bourne, of this city, the
State president of the organization, in
making an address, said that the thought
of a single abode where a drunken hus-
band staggers home TO the wife and babies
is enough to keep a temperance advocate
from ever wearying in the work. The
visible results in this movement today
have been brought about by strenuous eff
forts.
'All these years. said Mrs. Bourne,
there has been an u%ndercurrent of seed
sowing and preparation of the soil. The
work has been going on along economical,
legal, religious and civil lines, but public
opinion has not taken much notice of the
work until lately"
Mrs. Stuart Close rendered three selec-
tons Of Chopin's during the afternoon.
They were Fantasia in f minor, Nocturne
and Polonaise. A social hour followed. and
refreshments were served by the hospital

with thick pads of scented cotton wad-
ding, and over them put a cover of blue
Bingham or lawn that fastens with a

With this simple hanger should go a

Put a half-inch hem around the edge
and fasten at intervals along the sides

that the cover ties evenly.

PARIS GOWNS LEAD.

English dressmakers are again
greatly disturbed because English
women will persist in going to Paris
for their gowns. One of the best
known dressmakers In London says:
I'VE send our chief buyers to Paris
and they select the gems of the French
houses. They bring over the Identical
materials, embroideries and trimmings.
Our workers reproduce the model
gowns exactly in every detail at half
the Paris price, and yet the English
woman will go to Paris to buy the
same gown because it is sold in France
and she thinks that she has discovered
a treasure. We believe that this ex-
traordinary mani of the English
woman to cross the Channel for treas
ures that can be found on her own
side of the water is largely RESPONSE
BILE for the appalling distress among
women workers here"
