Tho one thought uppcrmost in the
minds of all who knew the King o!
Portugal in his private life and in
the many manifestations OF his ac-
tivity out of doors, is that if anyone
should have made popular king this
King was the man. In the first shocl.
of this great tragedy their greatest
difficulty is to understand how a mind
SO able. temperament so buoyant
and essentially optimistic could ever
have antagonized so bitterly even a
section Of that people whose devoted
affection he seemed born to attract
and to secure.
Tho late King was endowed with
store Of knowledge and intelligence,
combined with an extraordinary vi
tally and robust outlook upon life
which would have made him very re-
markable in any position. His last
visit to this country must have ia
miliarized many Euglishmen with the
outstanding traits of a character pc

country gentleman of all time IIc

Thomas A. Edlhon. when asked re-

reached tho limit OF electrical devol-
opment, answered.: "Why. we do not
even know what electricity is yet:
how can we say we have reached
the limit of a force whose very ma
ture we are ignorant off"
This statement by such an emf
nent authority should make people
who are puzzled by tho workings OF
electricity feel there Is just cause for
Its bewilderins the human mind.
The marvellous results obtained
from the employment of electrical
force are obvious to tho public, even
IL the actual causes therefor are not
so thoroughly understood. These re-
suits arc very important TO human
progress and TO the growth of com
merclal enterprises.
Since tho utilization of electrical
power for industrial purposes there
has been a wonderful transformation
in manufacturing methods and

dertakings which employ hundreds Of
thousands OF workmcn.

dustrial advancement. therefore. cleo

checks: others haye been -3ligent.
and we have continued caring for
great many lots that. thus far. hav"
not been paid for, because We felt
coming; however. we can do this no
longer as our man has to be paid
weekly and we cannot afford 20 pay

kept by the association have been
taken away from all lots whose own

heard some people say that they didn't
know anything about politics. We
have always questioned such state

it the more we question. And as a
result, we have come to- the conclus-
ion that this popular trio are the
smoothest and most polished gentle
manly politicians in the state. For, as

in making it impossible for any one to

hope of success. Now, this is polite

1t Is amusing to see how the jack
sonviile Metropolis is sticking out for
an appointment of business man as
United States senator by Governor N.
b. BrOward. 1t named Mr.. Garner, OF
that city as a fit person along bust
ness lines. Just 50. He is no doubt
a good man and well qualified for so
important and responsible a place, but
then there are thousand, yes ten
Thousand men in the state of Florida
equally as capable as Mr.. Garner,
whose names are never heard Of out
side OF their local towns. But why ex
pect the impossible? A business man
forsooth, not politician will let such
q one be appointed and Immediately
he becomes imbued with the idea that
he likes the position so well he would
continue to hold it. There is Senator
Taliaferro. he/is the high example of
business man. He liked the job so
well that he and HIS political friends
spent more money in his reelection
than he will draw as a senator in two
terms. Let the governor enjoy his
prerogative Of appointment and ap-
point some one who is his political
+ and personal friend, only SO long as
he is a good man with ability and ca
pacity to flll the place. The millen-
MUM is not yet here and not likely 10
arrive In our time. so let the old meth
DDS prevail as long as they are clean
honorable and cOmmendable.
