of the Clear Lake union high school.
Miss Theresa Mulligan, teacher of
Latin, had charge of the costuming.
Kings, queens, bishops and rocks wore
Greek draperies, red and white, with
distinguishing headpieces; the knights

Two Men Ascend in
Single AeropIane

PARIS. March 91.-Following his
record performance of yesterday in
flying a mile and half in his aero
plane. Henry Farman made another
spectacular flight at Issy today, COW
ering two and a half kilometers. a lit
tie less than two miles, in three min
utes and 81 seconds.
Later, in company with Leon de la
Grange, he entered the latter's aero
plane, which moved over the ground
at rate of about 80 miles on hour
and then went into the air, making a
short but highly successful fight.
This is the first time that an aero
plane carrying two persons has made
successful fight and the areonauts
were cheered by thousands of specta-
tors. These achievements of yesterday
and today are hailed with delight. as
they are considered as having. demon
strated that the problem Of aerial nav
igation can be solved. II is believed
now that only an improved motor is
needed TO insure the long flights of the
aerOplane.

NEW YORK, March 21.-Four operas
We're sung at the matinee and evening
performances in the two opera houses
today Chief in novelty among these
was the performance of Lucia di Lam
mermoor" in the Metropolitan last
night, when the title role was sung by
Ellen Beach Yaw, the Californian, who
was heard here for the first time in
opera.
This singer is we'll known here for
her high voice. and she has also ap-
peared in opera abroad. She proved last
night that she is possessed Of a flexible.
Very light voice. one that ranged to
great heights. 1t became obvious that
she was very nervous, and this may
account for some of her awkwardness
In acting. also possibly for some of her
vocal unevenness.
The crux of this opera is always the
mad scene" and in this Miss Yaw had
an opportunity to display her trills and
high notes. The audience was most
friendly disposed, and 1t clamored for
repetition of this piece, which was
granted.

President Jordan SO far has refused
TO step between the committee and the

administration has been. 1 believe. to
intrust the most delicate task that
devolves on any faculty committee
that of supervising student affairs and
administering discipline-to men who
are essentially Aexponents of single

the clean-cut, able, sensible and logi-

Where BrOWard received a cold

Vote for KehOe.

We wish to Impress upon our read
ers, those who are Interested in West
Florida, and the bay country in par
ticular, that it is to their interest as
individuals, and as a whole, that j
W. Kehoe be selected as congress
man from this district.
He is a West Florida man in the
fullest sense Of the word, not the can
didate of any locality, clique or party.
Though now living in Pensacola he
has never been charged with being a
Pensacola candidate. He is broad
minded enough to be the candidate
of the entire district, and not of any
one portion Of it.
He is a young man with clean
record, and one who has won the
esteem Of the people of West Florida
through his sterling integrity, and
strict attention to every duty that has
been his to perform. Such a man
will stand promotion.
lie has that thorough knowledge of
the wants of this district through a
personal knowledge of every foot of
it, and nearly every person in it, that
he can md will accomplish more in
the halls of congress than any other
candidate. And what this section re-
quires just now are men in office who
will do something.
No mistake will be made in eIevat-
ing Kehoe to the honorable position
of representative. Every one can
rest assured that in that position he
will honor his district, and acquit
himself in a way that Will add to his
own high standing in it. In conclu-
sion the PILOT again most urgently
requests its readers to vote for Ke-
hoe.

The Office of Sheriff.

The PILOT takes pleasure in plac-
ing before its readers an article from
the Pensacola Journal, including one
from the Leesburg Commercial. rela.
tive to the Importance Of ofmakinc q
proper selection for the office OF
sheriff.
There is imperative need in Wash
ingtOn county that a man be selected
for this Office who will fearless!v en-
force the laws. That too little atfen-
ton has been given to doing so in
the past is self evident proposition.
Attempted transformations, lvnchinos.
and other crimes have received but
scant attention upon the part of the
officials, and il has become q common
saying that it is far more dangerous
and expensive to kill hog than to
Kill a man. We commend the ar
1icles below to the attention of our
readers.
There is perhaps no Office i'm the
''AA's' iAACA = AAt' L'NA Atiitl IMAM lllGk 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 i'm 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 iudg-
ment, resolute purpose, and con
science as unfailing to high sense of
duty as the needle is to the pole.
The Leosburg Commercial. i'm its
last issue, says it all in a few plain
words, as follows:
The Office Of sheriff is a very re-
sponslble one, and the man best suit
ed to fill the place should be voted
Tor. Let every voter i'm the county
lay aside personal matters and elect
TO the office a man who will do his
duty and obey the laws. -

w. b. Lamar for Senator.

The choice of the PILOT for United
States Senator is W. 3. Lamar. And
for these reasons.
The PILOT has given its earnest and
best efforts to the up-building Of the
Bay country, the prosperity and sue
cesf of which forms the basis of the
future progress and development Of
not only Washington county, but this
portion of West Florida.
One of the important features of
its campaign was securing recogni-
ton by the government Of the neces-
sity of opening up this harbor to the
commerce ofthe world. In its efforts
to do this Representative Lamar has
aided most willingly and success
fully. No one could have done more
when the time for action came than
he did.
What is the record of his COM
petitors? Not one of them have ever
visited the Bay country; not one
raised his voice in its aid; not one
even written a letter urging action in
behalf of what was not only of vital
import to their own state, but to the
entire lower South.
To Representative Lamar and Sena-
tors Tallaferro, of this state, and
Bankhead of Alabama, is due the
credit of active, aggressive work for
our harbOr Improvement at a most
critical time in its history.
The PILOT believes in recognition
of such services. 1t believes that
what Representative Lamar has done
for this section in his present posi-
ton, he can and will duplicate, and
enlarge upon, if placed in the upper
house of our national legislature.
There is no reason to think other
wise. His record is clear upon this
point, and his record as a laborer for
his district in congress has always
been clear.
Voters of Washington county YOU
have been ignored and turned down
by every senatorial candidate but Mr.
Lamar. What are you going to do
about it?

Lumber Combine Assured.

Washington, April 3O.-Absolutely
reliable and official authority was OBJ
tanned by the Republic here to-day
for the statement that an agreement
in detail has been reached for the
administration under government SUI
perVisiOn Of all the lumber resources
OF the South from the Atlantic coast
to Eastern Texas. An agreement has
been drawn up whereby the lumber
interests controlling the immense
properties involved consent to the
adoption of the new system.
This agreement has been approved
by the lumber men and is satisfactory
to the government officials. w. S.
Cox, Assistant Forester, who repre-
sentS the forest service at the meet
ings Of prominent lumbermen at St
Louis, has reported to Washington
that material progress towards the
cOnsumation of the plan was made
at St Louis
Mr. Cox will be in Washington to-
morrow to make a complete report
on the results attained there. The
negotiations probably will reach the
stage of closed contract in few
days.
The success or failure of the in
tended step, the officials here recop-
nize, depends entirely upon its popu-
lar reception. This in brief. is the
plan:
TO limit production in the South
ern field to ten billion feet ,.er year.
which is about the per cent cut; to
impose a tax upJ1this cut of so cents
per 1000 feet, which would give a
fund of $780, coo a year to defray
the cost of administering the private
~ owned forest in the same way that
the Government forest reserves are
administered. The money would
maintain staff of forest rangers and
inspectors, who would patrol the for
est, fight forest fires, and see that
cutting IS done with provision for re-
forestation.
1t is freely admitted by the officials
here that a general agreement Of the
controlling lumber interests thus to
limit production, may be viewed as a
trust, and attacked and the scheme
perhaps killed for this reason. Chief
Forester Pinchot, however, backed
enthusiastically by President Roose-
welt, believes that such Il combina-
ton would be good trust" and one
to be encouraged rather than as
sailed. 1t is combination such as
President Roosevelt would have,
specifically legalized by amending the
Sherman antitrust law.
