If ROOSEVELT, NOT BRYAN

The New York Worlds special rep
resentative interviewed Senator Till
man at his home at Trenton, S. c.,
and the following is the result of the
interview:
Senator, what do you think of Bry-
ans chances for nomination." was
asked.
well, it all depends upon one
thing; if the republicans nominate
Taft I think that the democrats will
nominate Bryan and that he will win.
However. should the republicans tie
their convention up in a deadlock and
stampede it with Roosevelt. I do not
think that we could nominate Bryan,
because he has praised the presidents
policies too much. Third termism
would be his only weapon"
In this event he could not say who
might be the nominee.
Senator Tillman is improving plans
to go abroad this summer and hopes
to take part in the national campaign
in October.

RIGHT TO REGULATE

Among the resolutions of the Nebras-
ka editors is a protest against the
rule of the pOstoffice department re-
fUsing to recognize as legitimate sub
scribers to newspapers persons long
in arrears on their subscription pay
ments. The editors recognize in this
rule a stimulus to businesslike meth
DDS, but saw in it at the same time
an invasion of the publishers right of
implied contract and a governmental
interference with the legitimate bust
ness relations between the publisher
and his patrons.
If the ruling Injuries the efficiency
of the press they ought to protest, and
simply on that ground. But in ques-
tiOning the right of the pOstoffice de-
partment TO interfere in this way
with their right of contract and their
relations with patrons they make the
same mistake the railroads made
when they opposed the right of the
government to regulate them.
BY virtue of the special postage
rate granted under special conditions
to newspapers the newspapers stand
in a special relation to the pOstOfice
department. To encourage the dis
seminatiOn Of knowledge weekly pa
pers are allowed to mail papers to
subscribers in their own county post
age free. To all other papers the low
rate of a cent a pound is made. To
protect this privilege from abuse it is
necessary to adopt restrictive regu-
latiOns. Papers to go at these priv
LEGGED rates must go to people who
want them, certainly a fair provision.
The department thinks that fairly
prompt payment for papers is the
best evidence that people want a pa
per, and request the publishers to
pay a higher rate of postage open to
all citizens when they send papers to
any Others-that is, the publisher re-
turns TO his right of free contract and
non-interference by the simple act Of
giving up his postal privilege. When
he accepts the special rate, by that
act he contracts to submit to the in
reference involved in the govern
ments regulations.-Lincoln (Neb)

HAD NEVER SEEN FLORIDA

The following clipping, taken some
twenty-five years ago from a paper by
Charels Lord of this city and preserv-
ed until the present time, is interest
ing from the fact that it has the ear
marks of a joke pure and simple, says
the Orlando RepOrter-Star:
at is reported of John Randolph of
Roanoke. that when the purchase of
Florida, from the Spanish govern
ment, was under discussion in the
house, he cried out from the floor of
congress, in his high. harsh voice;
Mr.. Speaker, I am opposed to this
measure. Florida, sir, is not worth
buying. 1t is a land of swamps and
Quagmires, or frogs and alligatOrs
and mosquitoes! A man, sir, would
not immigrate into Florida. No, sir!
No man would immigrate into Florida
no, not from hell ITSELF"
If John Randolph could visit Flor
ida today and see the land of prom
ise," comments the Reporter-Star,
what a revelation it would be to him.
Instead of being hell it is is as close
to the modern paradise as earthly man
will ever get, and to us folks who are
natives the expression of Randolph
made SO many years ago, induces a
broad smile.
Randolph in his day was very much
like people of the present day, who re-
gard the south as a torrid, arid desert.
given over to insects and alligatOrs
and onyl a personal visit will ever
satisfy them Of the reverse.
One visitor to Florida can do more
TO dispel this erroneous idea than all
the words in the English language in
printed form, and all the visitors to
Orlando this season will return home
laden with views, good literature, and
best of all, good health, to prOselyte
among their friends regarding the adj
vantages of the greatest state of the
Union.

PELICAN REscUEs KITTEN

(The following few verses were in
spired by the sight of the rescue of a
kitten from drowning by an old peli
can, who actually dove for the cat
thinking it a fish. The kitten got a
dying clutch on the birds neck. and
was safely brought ashore, and it is
vOuched for by the natives that the
bird brings fish for the kitten 10 eat
each day and allows the latter 20 play
around him and even sleep on his
back.-The Author:
A pelican sat on a rounded stone
BY the waters of Tampa Bay;
An orphan he and all alone,
No wife or child to call his own.
And he fsned the livelong day.
The sun sank low in the western sky
He gazed Ger the waters blue,
When an object there he does espy,
And slowly lifts his wings to fly,
Till he gets a closer view.
He circled around with silent whir,
Then dove with a mighty splash
But instead Of scales this fish had fur
And claws that scratched like a chest
nut-bur,
Which gave him a nasty cash.
Into the air with a scream Of pain
The pelican sprang once more;
He tapped his wings with might and
main
And flew with the speed of an express
train
Back to the distant shore.
But his prey hung fast with a desper-
ate grip,
AS he sprang from OF the wave;
Twas a kitten that fell from a pass
ing ship,
And il let no chance like the present
slip,
To escape a watery grave.
Darkness fell and the moon did peep
From behind a passing cloud;
She hooked across the waters deep
And saw these two. both fast asleep.
With glee, she laughed aloud.
Now the pelican sits no more alone
On the shores of Tampa Bay;
They live together beside the stone,
And be fishes for both each day.

Executive SOf1HILAEGS
The resolution passed by the demo

March 81, which condemned the ac-

appointments to county offices, where
vacancies occur. without consulting
with the county executive committee,
has been widely discussed in the state
press.
The resolution was supplemented
by another resolution, which instruct
ed Secretary Harry Howard to write
each of the candidates for governor
and get an expression from them as
to whether or not they favored con
sUlting with the committeeman before
making appointments. Mr.. Howard
did so, and today he received a letter
from Hon. Albert w GiIchrist Of Pun
ia Gorda and one from Hon. jefferson
B. Brown Of Key West, both of whom
are candidates for governor.
Both gentlemen are in favor Of
consulting the wishes of the commit

he favors going even further and hold
ing a primary, if it is possible, so as
to let the people make the choice. Mr..

AN APPEAL TO THE GREAT
HEARTED

ITO the great hearted People of
Florida"-people with a capital P.
That is the way Napoleon addresses
them, and handkerchiefs are in order.
1t is bewild--ing, it is glorious. it is
magnificent, it is sublime-the pro-
found, the pathetic language used by
Governor Broward in his announce
ment that he is willing TO cruelty him
self upon the senatorial tree on the
GolgOthan Heights of Washington, D.
c., in order that he may be the ser
want of the capital P. This has the
sound Of poetry. 1t came uncOn-
sciously but aptly when describing
such a sacred sacrifice.
Truly. truly, we have perused many
queer documents. but this appeal to
his well beloved. i'm the noble Ian
guage Of Billy GUtterbOy, beats the
band" Yes, it even filches from the
stunted arbOriferous growth its d.
lapidated drapary. 1t is about the
most original effort we have ever been
called upon to consider, and precious
hard it is to know just what to make
of it.
All Florida was moved by the deep
pathOs surrounding the death Of Sen
ator Bryan, cut off in his youth from
a career which should have proven
both brilliant and useful; but we can
not see why the governor should use
this sacred shadow to walk in. Did
he think that his personality would
shine the brighter when displayed I'M
der a cloud? Or did he fear to stand
on his own merits and felt the need
of association with a brighter and bet
ter representation?
We will not judge his mOtive-he
must have had one. But we will say
that if an announcement of candidacy
for Office ever sounded with the soft
seductive. muffied ding dong of your
fun fledged demagogue this address
of Napoleon to the great hearted
PEOPLE of Florida" so sounds TO our
unsophisticated ears. And he is con
fident, too, that all that is necessary
is for him To speak and the great
hearted" ones will flock to his stand
ard like hungry chickens to the bread
trough. He bewails the fact that he
has been compelled TO come out so
early because otherwise the PEOPLE
would never know he was in the
swim before the day Of the primaries
apparently forgetful that there are
telegraph wires. railways and newspa-
pers in our land Of flowers.
Well, let him enjoy his sublime con
fdence in his PEOPLES devotion
Let US not shock him before the fatal
nineteenth day of May by any sugges-
ton that some Of the great hearted
creatures may also have heads on
their shOulderS-long heads that look
into the future and understand that
men Of the Broward ilk are not the
kind TO best serve as senator's. how
ever honorable the office may be, mol
vet TO be trusted as faithful, unselist
servants.-Tampa Tribune.

THE REVOLT WILL COME

The high rate of taxation, the di-
rect consequences of the wild eXtrav-
agsnces of the "Broward legislature"
of 1907, is becoming more and more
oppressive and uncomfortable.
The people, at nrst, were disposed
TO accept the situation with some
thing Ike cheerfulness, because much
money was required for the proper
establishment and maintenance of the
new school system. and because the
old war veterans were prom. ed ade-
quate and much needed relief. But.
later, II appeared that the aporcDris-
tons made for educational purposes
had 10 be pared down and the r-a,
significance Of the new pension law
opening the doors of the state treas
ury TO a perfect deluge of unlawful
and mrigEteous claims began To down
upon the public mind.
1t now seems quite certain that Il.
democrats Of Florida awake at last To
the significance of actual conditions.
are aroused as they have not been
under the leadership of Bloxhan.
Dyke and their associates in the great
struggle of 1876. when the CALLING
yoke Of republican domination was
thrown off, and are now determined
not to choose for their legislative
representatives such unworthy men
as have made the present conditions
possible. The legislature of 1909 will
not resemble that of 1907. The peo-
pie will see to it.
As an illustration of the way the
new order of things is regarded by
nonresident landowners. we are Der
mitted to quote from letters, such as
are frequently received by the tax col
lector of this county. as follows:
Find enclosed $-for my state
and county taxes. Should you hear of
anyone wanting to buy, please give |
them my address,"
4 am surprised that my taxes are
so much | wish we could |
sell, or rather give it away, as we |
will have to do"
Doubtless the tax collectors of al |
most every county in the state are
also receiving similar letters.
There's a good time coming" when |
the deluded and unthinking element |
Of our population realize the fact that |
a lot of self-seeking demagogues, by |
against the corporations and |
by shouting other purely populistic
sentiments, have succeeded in beguil- |
ing them into the mistaken policy of /
the advice and services of |
those who once received their highest |
praise for redeeming Florida from |
conditions very much resembling the
conditions which now Cypress and !
threaten them, and replacing those de-
voted patriots with a collection of UNI
scrupulOus, self-seeking place-hunters, |
whose chief purpose is to dominate |
every department of our state govern |
ment that they may fatten upon the /
substance of the people by unjust and |
Ubiquitous taxation.
Sooner or later the revolt will come, |
many a war has been waged for less
cause, and when it does come let those |
unprincipled demagOgues who now
hold the people of Florida by the
throat beware. True |
