Senator Fletcher has been elected
president of the Mississippi to Atlantic
Inland Waterways Association. The
Sonator-elect has demonstrated that
there is lot Of good in him besides be-
ing a good politician.
Bryan after defeat has now his best
work to do. Che Times. Union thus
tells what it is: "'Bryan is cheerful
after his defeat. But when he has
rested bit there remains a great pub
lie duty for him to perform. Let him
make good his campaign speeches by
securing legal proof Of his charges and
help to take them into court. He has
made a record as the best talker OF
modern times only to be twitted with
lack Of efficiency-let him demonstrate
the ability in the service Of the people
without Office that we held him to pos
sess could we have given him ofice-he
can command the help OF other Demo-
Gratis and the contributions Of all Demo

Speaking Of the rumored call for an
extra session of the Legislature, the
Wauchula Advocate says Let her
come. The oftener the legislature con-
Venes the oftener we can have a county
division Skirmish." That settles it. An
ezra aixty-day session of the legislature
with the DeSoto county division cues
ton up has more terrors IN it than we
had conceived of. Now will Governor
Broward be good Jacksonville Times

John Collins, editor of the Tallahas-
see True Democrat, the leading weekly
paper Of Florida, announces that he in
tends living a Christian life, and calls
upon thegOod citizens Of Tallahassee to
watch him daily, and tell him Of his
misdeeds, and aid him in his good in
tention. It is a hard proposition for
newspaper man to be a consistent
Christian, but we truly hope that
Brother Collins will become a strong
follower Of the ''LOwly Nazarene." A
better, more conscientious and big
hearted" man does not exist than John
Collins. His moral life is exemplary,
and he will be a power for the cause
among his felIow-men. The editor Of a
newspaper has many things to hamper
him daily in leading Christian life,
His work is also tedious and tiresome,
not 20 mention the thousand and one
things that occur every day to try his
temper. His labors return him but lit
tie, and his duties require the closest at
tention if his work is properly accom-
plished, and often the returns are 80
discouraging that it would be a hard
lob for even Job to remain steadfast
and true to his faith and his Msster.
Success to Brother Collins, both spirit
ually and materially, is our heartfelt
wish. White Springs Herald.

The South Florida Sentinel makes a
good argument for county fairs when it
says: "a county fair held annually at

BY many enterprising citizens of Orange
