FIGS OF THISTLES?

The election and subsequent death
of Mr.. Taft would mean the occupancy
Of the White House by an official fat
fryer who has during several years
past approached, with deferential hat
in hand, the president or treasurer Of
most Of the large corporations in the
country. II was in the course of this
Official function that Sherman was
profanely turned down by Mr. Harri-
man. with bitter denunciatiOn OF the
republican party and reeking messages
for the head Of that party, that the
party and the head of it had not been
grateful for the S25O,0O0 which Mr..
Hartman collected and gave in 1894.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

The Banner states that an Ocala
preacher is preparing a series OF ser
mons on the ten commandments. What
an inspiration they should be TO a
minister! If applied to local condi-
tons. what crowds they would draw,
and how much good they would ac-
complishi The average preacher,
like the average editor prefers 10
base his sermons on things that hap
pened two thousand years ago. or in
the next state, and 10 fight shy OF To-
cal conditions which may reflect on
his next neighbOr. or the man who Is
is the biggest contributor. The world
is full Of nice things and commenda-
bic acts: while on the other hand
great good could be accomplished by
the press and pulpit if they would see
things within their vision and expose
them. As our friend, Hugh Spark
man. editor OF the late Wauchula Tel
egram. said: I'D like to publish the
truth in one issue of the Telegram
and I'll do it, too, if I'm guaranteed
protection from twO-thirds OF my sub

BRYAN'S GREAT FIGHT

Treasurer Mack says that Bryan IS
making the greatest political fight in
the history of the world. Every day
since his nomination his cause has
grown stronger until it has become
an irresistible force. It has brought
cheer to every democratic heart and
dismay to the opposition.
States that a month ago were re-
garded as surely republican are today
claimed by democrats, and conceded
as debatable by republicans.
We are now in the last month OF
the contest and the battle will be
waged fercely in every debatable pre-
cinct in the United States.

Hon. Don c. McMullen, senator
elect from HillsboroUgh county, is
studying the guarantee bauk deposit
plank in the democratic platform with
view of having it enacted into a
law in Florida To one who has gone
through two or three bank failures, as
has been the ill-luCk Of the editor of
this paper, the law looks mighty good.
Indeed it has a more inviting look and
a sweeter flavor than peaches and
cream. Had it been a law in Florida
all along many man would have
been many a dollar better off and in
stead of depOsiting in tin cans, hollow
trees and bed ticking these deposits
would have found their way to the
banks and entered into the channels
Of trade. 1t seems to us that it is the
best law ever suggested.

There is now much activity in the
schools and colleges of this state and
the attendance shows great interest
in the cause of education. The public
schools in every county show an in
crease in attendance. At the Uniyer-

promises to exceed all previous rec
Ords and the opening Of the Univer-

report comes from Tallahassee at the
opening of the Woman's College, and

reports the largest attendance in its

LONDON AND HIS CRITICS

Jack London's return to San Fran cisco. after the reports of his loss in the Pacific had been spread abroad. brought out the usual diversity of comment from the western newspaper writers Quite naturally those who had obviously hinted that his disap- pearance was a prearranged trick. were the very ones who criticised him for interruptinE his trip in order to make flying visit to San Francisco. The truth in all the discussion of LondOn's doings seems to have been hit by wellknown San Francisco writer who thus freed her mind on the subject: Tt would be a strong temptation to me in MT. London's place to remain in seclusion for a time and give the scribbling world hereabOuts chance to free their souls in obituaries. Whenever there is dearth of subject they all turn to and throw stones at him chiefly because he has snatched success where they have failed. Apparently they have added an eighth deadly sin to the cat egorical seven. that of successful au- thorship without a preliminary ap- premiership to Journalism. What the unconventional costume which Lon don affects has to do with his writ ing is more than l can make out Just now. the fact that his tramp experi- ences were not undertaken in search of sociological material seems to be an abiding grief. Boys of sixteen usually are so deeply concerned with philoso- phy. For my part, l think We have every reason to be thankful that such a resourceful young scamp did not pursue a criminal career. It was fin him to have caused the community more worry over his depredations than it now suffers because he dis agrees with the presidential literary stomach and refuses to look pleasant for the ladies of the culture clubs"

THE STEEL CORPORATION
 AND THE SALOON.

Colerine. Minnesota, is the center of what is fast becoming the greatest iron ore mining district of the world. In disposing of the lots for business ventures, the town builder reserved 10 the company" the right to sell li- quor and to conduct the games of chance. thereby restricting the two two main evils of a frontier town. Gambling has never raised its head in the community, but inasmuch as with foreign workmen to make demands. John C. Greenway, the superintendent of the steel corporations works. real ized that prohibition would mean only a clever system of blind piggery," the edict went forth that one saloon was to be allowed for every five hundred of population provided that it con- formed to certain conditions.
 First of all it must obey the state law to the letter. not opening in the morning until seven, which is after the men have gone to work. closing at night at eleven, and remaining closed all day Sunday It Is required to be place of purely commercial, not social nature. even the chairs being removed to prevent lounging about. Whisky only of a standard quality is sold. and a provision is made, and found most effective. for commissions to bar tenders on all sales of non-intoxicants.
 Tt is a very simple scheme and there is nothing particularly ideal about it." he says. but it works. - Clara c. Thomas, in The World To- Day, for January.
