Mr.. 5oNAPARTE's ASTONISHING
UTTERANcE

The attorney general, the district
attorney and the special counsel en-
gagged in the prosecution of the Stand
ard Oil case at Chicago have present
ed 10 the United States circuit court
Of appeals a petition for a rehearing
upon the decision of that tribunal re-
versing the judgment in which the
district court, Judge Kenesaw NJ. Ian
dis presiding, imposed the fine of S29,-
100000 upon the defendant
The language of the petition goes
TO the very verge of professional pro-
priety. 1t accuses the appellate court
of having done injustice to the trial
Judge, and declares that its opinion
If permitted to remain Unmodified
will tend TO encourage disobedience
TO law. to impede the enforcement of
salutary statutes and largely to de-
feat their purpose" Some per
sons think that it would have been
better il Judge Grosscup had dealt
more mildly with the decision Of
Judge Lands, but however that may
be. the language of the attorney gen
eral on this application for a rehearing
in the Standard Oil case is evidence of
a remarkable and most lamentable
change in the attitude of the bar to-
ward the courts.
No set of facts ought to be possible
which renders it just or proper for
counsel to address such language to a
court. II the facts do warrant it, then
the court as now constituted ought to
cease to exist.-New York Sun.

THE COUNTRY EDITOR

The editor of today has to get his
nose down to the grindstone and keep
it there sixteen hours per day and 365
days in the year, or he falls by the
wayside. There are men who quit
work Saturday night and rest until
Monday morning. They lay aside bus
mess cares at or o'clock every
evening and do not resume them until
Z or 8 o'clock the next morning. Not
so with your editor He has no ele-
CANT leisure. He knows no hour, no
Sunday, no night. When he goes to
party or to church, or on an alleg-
ed pleasure trip, it is all in the line
of duty Withal, your editor man is
a cheerful, lOng-suffering soul. going
about doing good in his humble way
He returns good for evil! He writes
long puffs of church sOciables. and
in return therefor accepts a chunk Of
cake that would sink an ironclad. He
notes the arrival of all the babies in
the neighborhood and eternally per-
jures his soul in telling how pretty
they are. He rejOices with the gay
and mourns with those who are sad
He bOoms every enterprise which
makes his community rich, and goes
about himself clothed in gunny sack
cloth and one suspender. He glOries
over the fortune of his neighbOr. and

FOR CHECKLISTS INAUGURATION

Tampa. Aug. 29-Tampa will send
to Tallahassee on inaugural day a
delegation that will do the chosen son
proud, and will publish to the entire

city and section. A special train, the

Plans, although now in an embryo

counties, in electing Mr.. Gilchrist, the
South Florida candidate.
Definite plans OF the Inauguration

The republican papers admit that
John w. Kern's speech was a corker
and that it points out a number Of
things which ought to be done. Their
only answer is that the republicans
are also promising to do them. It is
merely another case of deathbed re-
pentance, which will prove to be too
late. The republicans have had am
pie chance to do these things and
have not done them. They will be

SOAP TREE IN SOUTH FLORIDA

Among the latest novelties to be
brought to the attention of the people
of the Fort iPerce section, says the
News. is the product of the soap tree,
which can be and is grown on the
east coast, as has been demonstrated.
W. w. Whitfield "a progressive col
ored man of Melbourne, who is now
working in Fort Pierce, has one of
these trees growing on his place at
Melbourne, and on Monday he brought
some of the berries to the News Of
fee. These berries, which are little
larger than a grape and have a dull.
yellow color, contain properties pecu-
liar to themselves, and are like soap
when in contact with wate:. A little
rubbing produces a lather equal to a
good soap. and to test their cleansing
qualities our foreman tried them on
his inky hands with satisfactory re-
suits. When . soap will remove print
er's ink and other substances peculiar
to print shops it is considered good.
Therefore, We pronounce these Der
ries a good soap.
Experiment to be Made
We were fotunate in securing some
of these berries and have sent some
to the experiment station at Gaines
vile to find out what We can about
them, for let us admit at once that
We claim no knowledge of horticulture
or other sciences which could explain
this tree. 1t may be a common one
or it may be rare. That We do not
know, but possibly our readers can
determine.
Whitfield states that the tree was
planted by H. P. Bowden, an English
man, from whom he bought the place
about three years ago, and that the
tree has been bearing since he owned
it. 1t is about ten feet high and about
five inches indiameter in the trunk.
Last year it bore about a peck Of the
berries, while at least a half bushel
are on it this summer
Inside the berry is a large black
seed, and he has steadfastly refused
to part with any seed until he knows
the value of them. However, this in
dustriOus cOlOred man has saved a
soap bill by using the berries in its
stead, and who knows but that some
day all we will have to do when we
need soap is to pull a berry off the
tree growing by the we'll and save the
tribute We now pay to Fairbanks. Col
gate and others.
In addition to the soap tree, Whit
field has on his place olives. persim-
mons. japan plums, Kelsey plums, pc
cans, hickory, English chestnuts and
all kinds Of citrus and tropical fruits.

NOW FOR WINTER VEGETABLES

One of the signs of the near ap-
proach of the vegetable growing sea-
son is the advertisements of tomato
plants for sale. Many of the farmers
prefer to buy their plants from some
one who makes a speciality Of getting
the young plants started, and this is
a profitable industry for many of the
small gardeners. Out in the rural
districts the truckers are now busy
preparing their fields and before one
has time to notice much the usual
lively times will again be in full blast
in Dade county. All of the farmers
have profted and while they realize
that the regular winter crop is the
main money maker many of them are
expecting to have three crops between
now and next spring. Another fea-
ture of this years farming will be the
variety of vegetables raised, and it is
safe TO say that throughout the coun-
" there will be more of a diversified
planting than in any previous sea.

DON'T KILL THE SQUIRRELS

We understand that some people
are killing the squirrels that play on
the trees in town. Doubtless not a
thought was given by those doing it,
for there is nothing more attractive
TO any place than the squirrels. Win
ter Park thinks the world of the lit.
tie creatures and they have them by
the thousands. Orange City likewise
and also Gainesville protects them
and il is a constant source of pleasure
to the tourist to sit and see them gam
Dol and eat nuts, and they are SO
tame that one can almost reach out
and take them up.
What if they do get a little of our
fruit, is it not a small part that they
get, and no one surely would deny
them that. They are our friends, and
with the birds bring a good bit OF
sunshine to our lives. Though the
revised ordinances make no provision
for squirrels, a thing very likely over
looked, as there was a regular Ordi
nance previous to the revision, the
discharging of firearms is prohibited
in section "a of ordinance Is, with q
fine of not less than $25, and the mar
shall can protect the squirrels under
this ordinance.-Eustis Lake Region
