The Downfall of HOke Smith.

1t is said that it is the unexpected
that always happens. Corroboratory
evidence of the truth of this saving
may be found in the defeat of Hoke
Smith for governor Of Georgia. 1t
has been customary in that state to
give their governors two terms in
Office. This custom, almost amount
ing to law, has been ruthlessly set
aside, and in the case OF a man who
has been esteemed as one of the
greatest of Georgias citizens, and &
man of national reputation.
From this distance it is difficult to
arrive a any conclusion as to iustwhat
the trouble over in Georgia was all
about. But the common people are
charged with the uprising and upset
ting, and there must have been some
good and sufficient cause for their
casting down Georgias famed idol.
As the result was quite unexpected,
judging from the attitude Of the ma
jority of the press of the state, it may
be taken for granted that the next
few months will be devoted by these
purveyors of truth to finding out "who
struck HOke Smith,

Death of George West Wilson

Again has the press of Florida been
called upon to acknowledge that
death is mighty, universal truth"
in the passing of George West VIII
son, editor in chief of the Jackson
vile Times-Union, whose death oc-
Cured early on the morning of June
3rd.
Mr. Wilson was natural born news
paper man, but with his intense in
terest in all that pertained to his
chosen profession he also found time
to fill many positions of honor and
trust in the state. His life had been
broadened by travel in this and other
countries, and in the comradship of
many famous men.
The state of Florida has met with
a heavy loss in the death of Mr. VIII
son, and his co-workers on the Times
Union mourn for one who has been
to them an inspiration and leader.
His bereaved family and associates
of the paper have the heartfelt sym
pathy of the press and people of the
entire state in their great loss.

Protection against drought seems to
have become pretty efTectually secur-
ed in Florida. Two very serious
problems confronted those who would
attempt surface irrigation. Much of
the orange and truck land was too
level to admit of satisfactory gravity;
irrigation and the porous character of
the soil rendered conveying water
any considerable distance in bitches
impractiCable.
Overhead sprinkling offered the
only recourse, but there were difficult
ties in the way of satisfactory appH-
cation.
In our recent trip over the state we
found irrigation in successful opera
ton in nearly every locality visited.
Overhead piping and the gasoline en-
CINE had solved the problem.
The galvanized iron pipes are set
on posts about eight feet above the
ground, the lines being about twenty
feet apart. The pipes are perforated
every three feet. BY lever and
chain arrangement the pipes over
half an acre are all revolved from
single point SO that the direction of
the streams through the perforations
is changed at will The entire sur
face between the pipe lines is thor
Oughly sprinkled.
Evaporation from soil and crop IS
thus lessened so that little water
goes much further than with bitches.

loupes, tomatoes and other truck

any POSSIBILITY o' Mr. Bryan being
elected. Mr. Bryan is a preacher, not
| o4.t.cian. He is a moral uplifter
in present day politics, and as such
occupies a position at once unique,
and almost alone. 1t is this ideal
position that he has achieved that
causes SO many Of the people of these
United States to cheer him and his
utterances to the echo, and which at
the same time units him for the po-
sition of a successful candidate for
the presidency in this sordid, brutally
commercial age.
The manipulation of politics and
political parties is now a very cold
blooded proposition, and however
much that fact may be deplored, il
must be recognized and met. The
democratic party should rise above
the one man idea, mere hero worship.
and get down to business. That
business should be to return to such
democratic principals as have achiey-
ed success in the past
The republican party now stands as
the representative of government by
the few, carrying elections andretain-
ing power through the disreputable
use of the money and of the indus
trial power of the many colossal cor
porations which that party have
created, resulting in these corpora
tons exercising unlimited contro
over their creators.
Democracy stands for a government
by all the people, for "poliucaI anC
and natural equality" as opposed t
protected interests, and government
by mOnied aristocracy. On these
lines the democratic party SHOULD
align itself and wage its battles. II
this stampede for Mr. Bryan, the
preacher, the PILOT does not recog
niZe that exercise of calm and wis,
| judgement that pOrtends victory t.
the party. Thus its opposition to the
candidacy of that gentleman.

Political CIaptrap.

The amenities of the present cam
paign may be set down as decidedly
negative. In fact they have been
more noticeable by their absence than
otherwise. All candidates have been
set down as rOgues, if not worse, and
the awful conditions that will inevi-
tably follow if this or that one be
elected, can best be described by
reading Dantes description of hell.
1t is hardly possible that the people
| of our fair state are supporting the
worst characters that could possibly
be found for the honorable positions
within their gift. II is more probable
that the writer's who have penned
these articles have become unduly
heated through an attempt to assimi-
late too great an amount of the Vi
trioljc questionable reservations of
the campaign, not champagne and
are thereby rendered somewhat uny
in their conclusions.
1t is perfectly safe to wager Your
bottom dollar that Gnchrst will not
open saloon i'm the capital building
if elected, or that Stockton viii turn
it into a National bank. These and
many other dire caIamities have been
freely predicted in ease either of
these men are elected, but the great
common people are not losing any
sleep over such charges, and are
weighing the candidates with their
own balances. And the situation can
be safely left in their hands. From
a casual examination Of the evidence
presented it seems quite possible that
the common people are possessed of
more common sense in times like
these, than are their self appointed
monitors of the press.

PANAMA CITY. FLA. JUNE II. 1908.
A Personal Word from KehOe.

The time between the First and
Second Primary is so short that it is
simply impossible for the candidates
in this large Congressional District to
visit all the places therein between
the two meetings.
Mr. KehOe appreciates this fact, and
also that the most effective work he
can do for himself and his friends, is
to thoroughly canvass the stronghold
of his opponent; in fact to get onto
his trail and stay there. This will
prevent his visiting those places
where he has already host of friends,
all of whom would like to meet him.
This fact he regrets, but feels that
they will acquiesce in the wisdom of
his action, and in his absence do even
more for him than they would if it
were possible for him to have visited
them.
This applies particularly to the Bay
country. But Mr. Kehoe is as well
known here as at home, and our PEG
pie need no personal interview with
him to assure them of his Willingness
and desire to aid this section in all
legitimate ways, and all those who
have the interests of st Andrews Bay
at heart should give him their earnest
support in the Second Primary. Mr.
Kehoe shoutNeceive the unanimous
vote of the bay country, and the PILOT
trusts that he may do so.

PenSacOla'S New Hotel.

The most suspicious event that has
occurred in Pensacola in years was
the raising by public subscription of
sufficient funds to secure the cree
ton in that city of a hotel that will
cost when completed, and in opera
ton, in the neighbOrhOOd of half a
million dollars. Not only has that
city secured what they have long
needed, but the raising of the money
has developed an awakening of pub
lie spirit such as the place has never
known heretofore, and which augurs
much for its further progress. Nor
does this big hOstelry stand for the
betterment of Pensacola alone. All
West Florida should rejoice over an
enterprise that will provide this sec
ton of the country with hotel that all
may be proud of, and that will most
assuredly be the fOrerunner of many
pleasant and delightful homes for
travellers in this territory, such as
have made the East Coast famous the
world over.

Poultry and Eggs.

The poultry and eggs of our COun-
try are produced by those who do not
aim at a large surplus over family
needs: by those who aim 10 get eggs
and sell broilers at a time when they
are the scarcest and the prices high
est; and by those who are going at it
in wholesale way.
The first class sell their eggs and
chickens surplus at a time when eggs
and young chickens are most plenti-
full, because every one else's chickens
and eggs are on the market and con-
sequently very cheap. The second
class aims at the reverse of these con
ditiOns, viz: selling eggs produced for
these special prices at special time
when the rank and file of the hens of
the country are doing nothing. The
third class, or wholesale producers,
are few in number when COMPARED
with the great army Of farmers and
villagers producing poultry on a
small scale, but they are constantly
increasing in numbers and response
bility. This class frequently runs to
some special branch of the business,
such as eggs exclusively, broilers,
roasters or broiler ducks, etc.
The time of and 10-cent eggs is
past and gone, kle to the advent of
the great cold storage plants over the
country in the principal cities, where
they are able to absorb and hold the
great bulk of the eggs during the sea-
son when they are 50 abundant until
cold weather and sell them at remun-
eratiVe prices both for the producer
and the cold storage people. This is
the link that tends to equali2e the
seasons and make them more profit

BryanS Candidacy.

In commenting upon the election in
this district, by a large majority, of
Frank l.. Mayes as delegate to the
Denver convention, the PILOT stated
that the heavy vote was not for
Mayes, the delegate, but for Mayes,
the man. The Times Union in motto
ing his election took similar view of
the matter
In reviewing these notices brother
Mayes natural modesty asserts itself
and he says: 1.-The Pilot and Times
Union, each being opposed to Mr.
Bryan, naturally attribute the fine
vote that the Bryan delegates got i'm
the third district to some other cause,
but we assure them that the voters
really meant it. The vote
was Bryan vote"
The PILOT publishes this excerpt
from the Journal that it may 90 on
record as to its "being opposed" TO
Mr. Bryan. Its opposition is not TO
Mr. Bryan the man, whom the editor
personally knows and highly esteems,
but to his candidacy as the demo-
cratic nominee for the presidency.
The PILOT believes the time is at
hand when the democratic party,
with democratic platform, might
elect its candidate. 1t does not see
