Guehrlsrs Honesty and Indopsnd-


Ia com i1v on General Gilchrist's
platform ia bic ce for Governor. the
DeLand Record es up the character
of South Florida's favOrite son truth
fully and forcibly. Indeed the opinion
is forceful principal tor the reason
that it is truthful. Bu We will reprint
the Records words in order that all
may understand our meaning Gene
raj Albert w. Gilchrist, candidate for
Governor, and the idol Of All South
Florida, places his platform before the
Democratic voters Of Volusia county
through the Record this week, and you
will see it in this paper every week UNI
til the primary, and the General is thus
before the people of Florida in most of
the papers of the State. His platform,
while unique and original, is a good one
and will be received favorably by most
fair-minded people. If there is one thing
thatWill commend him to the Democratic
voters of Florida, it is his honesty and
independence. In all his public life he
has been his own boss. He has never
been charged with being the tool of any
man, men, faction or corporation. His
public life has always been on the side
he deemed best for Florida and her
people. Tohis credit, to begin with he has
the united support of the people of his
own section Of the State"
This voice from East Florida, ringing
with the praise of Gilchrist, is sweet in
the Tribune's ears. 1t declares, ''If
there Is one thing that will commend
him to the Democratic voters Of Flor
ida, it is honesty and independence. "
In all the qualities of the human heart
what two could be selected surer to win
the admiration, lOYe and confidence of
decent men than these-"honesty and
independence 2" Here is a combination
that has made, that will forever make,
the gTandest heroes of earth's history.
Independence without honesty might
run riot and cause its possessor to do
mighty mischief in the world Might
stir TO action the hateful cunning of a
Machiavelli or drive onward the con-
suming fire of a selfish and immoral
Napoleon. And honesty without indie
pendence will never inspire its owner to
noble deeds although his courage may
be great and his soul most pure.
Combine the two, however, and you
have the making of a perfect man
perfect in his own integrity and Jealous
in the performance of every public or
private duty. He will bend to no cor
rupting influence, but will "follOw the
CLEAN" that shines from the palace of
righteousness. The Tribune is conf
dent it is being universally understood
that these two qualities exist in Gil
christ more cOnspicuously than in any
other FlOridian, and the closing of the
polls at the primary will prove our con-
fidence to have been well founded

The Biblo, Have We Lost It.

In the April American Magazine
(EpiscOpal) Bishop Williams Of Miehi-
0an writes an entertaining short article
on The Bible; Have We Lost ltl he
digcusses the Bible our grandfathers
and Qrandmothers used to cherish, that
is. the Bible that was believed to be
the truth I'm every particular, the Bible
IN which YOU could find q text to prove
ANYTHING. Then ne goes on to show
Who frSf suspected that there were
errors IN the Bible, and how the mis-
llakes crept in. He tells what the
khureh has thought about 1t. OfcOurse
~ conclusion Is that although the
PibIe has been demonstrated TO be
largely the work of human hands, and
therefore stained in spots by human
passions and weaknesses, 1t ls To-Day a
more valuable Bible than ever. Here
is a part of his eloquent conclusion:
"HaVe we really lost anything ~ ar,
irving at this new view OF the Blple!
Yes, we have lost our divinlng roo, our
Delphic oracle, our arsenal Of irretrag,
able proof-texts; but we have gained
incalculably; we have gained a DooA
that is infinitely richer for edlhcatlon.
A Word of God, infallible and inerrant,
shouted down through the heavens
every morning through the trumpet of
an archangel would have no meaning to
us. II would find no point Of contact
with our human nature. 1t could not
touch our hearts. But Word Of God
coming to us through the living human
experience of men of like passions with
ourselves, apprehended by conscience,
tested and proved by life, humanized
by our common humanity, even though
it must needs be stained here and there
with human passions and even made
fallible by human ignorance and intirm.
ity-such a Word Of God is quick and
living. It finds its home in our hearts,
it fits our nature, it inspires our souls
In this new view Of the Bible not a
spiritual truth has been lost, not com
fort or consolation. And many an in
tOlerable burden has been lifted of the
devout soul; many an impassable difti..
Guilty has been cleared from the path OF
an earnest faith.
"Read your whole Bible thus in the
light Of the new knowledge, in the light
of an honest, fearless, searching and
yet reverent criticism, and you will find
It a far more inspiring Bible than the
one you have lost.

the nomination of John A. Holmes. private
secretary to the Postmaster General, to
be purchasing agent for the postal serv-
ice, vice William E. Cochran, transferred
to be inspector In charge at Denver
E. s. Slanker Of Ohio. confidential clerk
to the Postmaster General. will succeed
DR.. Holmes as private secretary.
Dr. Holmes is native Of the District.
He entered the postal service about four
teen years ago and has steadily risen
through his ability and untiring industry.
He was prior to his appointment as pri-
vate secretary to Postmaster General
Meyer, one of the travelling assistant SUI
and allowances, having largely to do with
the rental and leases of post office quar-
ters.
DR.. Holmes is a graduate Of the medl-
cal department Of George Washington
University. He was a newspaper man
before he entered the postal service, and
has still in a way continued his connec-
ton with that profession. He is modest
in manner, courteous, and his tact and
executive ability have won him high
favor with Postmaster General Meyer
His present promotion is another evil
dence of the Postmaster Generals well
known theory that men in the service
shall be advanced only on merit.

new Minister TO ROuMANIA
HUNTINGTON WILSON AP-
POINTED TO EASTERN PORT,

The names of Huntington Wilson, to be
minister to Roumania. and William Phil
fps of Massachusetts,. to be third assistant
secretary Of state, were sent to the SEN
ate today by the President. Mr.. Philips
succeeds to the Office made vacant by the
acceptance of the new diplomatic mission
by Mr.. Wilson at the Department Of
State, and it is said the changes are in
the nature of promotions and therefore
agreeable to both parties.
At the State Department it was stated
that both appointments are promotions In
the service and strictly in line of the
policy of the department in the recogni-
ton Of merit. AS minister to Rumania
Mr.. Wilson fills the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Mr.. knowles. The du
ties devolving on him are likely to be deli
cate and important in view Of the present
critical state Of the Balkan troubles.
Mr.. Wilson has had considerable expert
ence in the diplomatic field. He entered
the service in May, 1897, as second secre-
tary of the legation at Toxic, and was
subsequently secretary and charge Of that
legation until June, 1906 when he was
transferred to Washington as third as
sistant secretary of state. Because of his
peculiar acquaintance with far eastern
affairs he was placed in charge Of all the
business relating to that section of the
world coming before the State Depart
ment.
Mr.. Phillips, who succeeds to these
responsible duties, is regarded as we'll
equipped for their performance. He be-
gan his government service as private
secretary to United States Ambassador
Choate at London in 1903. was appointed
second secretary of the legation at Picking
in March, 1905 and was transferred to a
clerical position in the State Department
at Washington in June, 1907 In March
last he was appointed chief Of the division
Of far eastern affairs. and holds that office
at the present time. He is a citizen of
Massachusetts.

Five large automobiles, loaded with
important-looking personages. rolled away
from the east front Of the Capitol early
this morning. 1t looked like a parade
but 1t was not. The procession was seen
all over town today-in the northwest
the southeast, the northeast and the
southwest, in the suburbs and over the
business section.
At intervals the motor cars would stop
and the dignitaries would alight and talk
for a minute. Then one of them would
stop and pick up a section of the asphalt
for inspection. Then they would climb In
again and roll away.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Gas stock sold today at the meeting OF
the stock exchange to the extent OF some
$50 shares. The range of the buying
started near the highest point reached
yesterday, when an advance was made OF
nearly a point. Beginning at 6S1s. the
last sale was made at 69z.
The best price paid yesterday was 6s's'
Today the buying came from one broker
but he appeared to have an unlimited
order and was prepared to take all that
might be offered within reasonable fig
ures. Once or twice he bid for large
blocks and so the bid of 6Sh was made
for 100 shares. or for LOCO shares. and
then a bid of 60 was made for similar
lots.
An option on 100 shares was offered at
7O1a without being taken. The bid of 6914
was retained to the close, when the ask
ing price was 20. The stock appeared to
get real scarce under this liberal buying
and while quite a large block came out,
as compared with the average of the
dealings on the exchange. it was evident
the good market had some influence, and
in addition there never has been large
amount of what is known as floating
stock on the market here.
Exactly what relation this movement OF
the stock bears to the proposed legisla-
ton suggested by the bill which passed
the House of Representatives Monday has
not been worked out by those who have
an interest in the market. 1t Is thought
however that some who are identified
with the company have no idea that the
bill. it passed the House, will event
ually be placed on the statute book.
The shortness of the session is recog-
nized as being against the chances OF
anything being done. but II that contin-
gency does not materialize then it is
claimed that if the measure is finally
adopted it will be in the nature Of COM
promise, and il the price of gas is re-
duced 1t will be to 90 cents, or some such
figure as that In addition it Is believed
that something may be obtained on the
capitalization phase Of the business, and
If the bill as it now stands becomes law.
taking away from the Supreme Court OF
the District the powers now conferred
upon it to authorize under specified con-
ditions the company to enlarge its capital
stock, then it is probable Congress will
permit the company to Increase the par
value of the shares to 500, which has
for some time past been an object of en-
deavor on the part of the company.
