Commerce Leads Throughout.

1t was a different story in the game be-

the ball opportunity and played excellent

unlucky game, only six bingles being
made off him, but they came when hits
meant runs Big Bob Evans slashed off

Base Ball Is Hard on Grandmothers


for May.
Base ball is good thing for everything
and every one except grandmother. While
statistics are unobtainable. 1t is estimated
that about 1000 grandmothers perish on
or before the day every game is played
on the big league circuits. Sometimes she
dies OF humps; other times she perishes
because the doctor doesn't know anything
about the case. or, mayhap. because even
he cannot make a call that afternoon be-
tween ) and o'clock and afford the
proper treatment; other times because
she falls and breaks her backbone, but
more often she just dies because. Only
tine crandmothers of Office boys, errand
boys and other youngsters who help
around at odd things are so taken off. 1t
Is only common decency that they should
attend the funerals, which are held in the
afternoon, usually between 1:30 and j
clock The boss grins knowingly but
he hasn't the heart TO keep any boy away
from his grandmother's funeral. He was
once a lad himself. and maybe he had a
grandmot her 10 perish in the base ball
season. Rain has spoiled many funeral.

Jacksonville. Dec. 5.-The approach
ing inauguration OF General Albert
w. Giichrist as chief executive of the
state has served TO create interest and
occasion discussion of questions
reasonably certain TO command the
attention of the new regime.
Unfortunately the drainage of the
Everglades again appears actively and
in a measure unnecessarily so in the
front. Doubtless a great deal of this
has been one of the expected results
of the action of Attorney General
Ellis coupled with the controversy
being waged between the two daily
papers of Miami.
The Discussion at Miami.
In reading the Miami News-Record
recently, | was somewhat amused TO
mote the position which Editor Stone
man assumes as regards t1e policy of
the Incoming governor. Mr. Stone
man discusses the question of drain
age in connection with the policy Of
the state for the next four years from
a standpoint indicating that he has
either forgotten the positive DECLARE
ton of General Gilchrist during the
primary campaign, or else questions
the sincerity WITH which some OF
these prediction pledges we're made.

the governor with being a practical
business man, adds that under his ad-
ministration no funds are. TO be ex-

CHECKLISTS INAUGURATION
AND PRO-ELECTION PLEDGES


Legislature elected this fan is COM
posed chiefly of those who were fav-
orable to the policies of Governor
Broward. Added TO this is the express
sion of prominent men throughout the
state to the effect that they are tired
of the drainage discussion and are
opposed to a. renewal of II when tle
legislature meets.
Amendments TO Primary Law.
| read carefully the suggestions
made by Mr.. Crawford for the amend
ment of the present primary law.
While | agree with him that there
should be restrictions placed about
the ballot. l do not believe that this
is the most important feature of the
trouble, or rather the shortcomings
of the primary law. What in my opin-
ion is more essential is a law regu-
lating the amount of money candi-
dates shall spend. To provide for the
publication of ones expense account
and sources of contributions would
have salutary effect have dual
reason for this. one of which is the
hope that by making the law retro
active, I might learn the Whereabouts
of part at least of that three hun.
dred and sixty thousand dollar cor
ruption fund But seriously, it costs
a candidate for any state Office a
small fortune to run campaign. This
| is the greatest evil of the primary
system, and / daresay tina: Il this was
to be regulated and a law TO suit the
case rigidly enforced, il would tend in
a measure at least TO eliminate the
other objections 1t is a well reeog-
nized fact that where there are frauds
! in elections, the money Sarrel has
been tapped and permitted to overflow

occur.

BILE one. MIR. Stoneman cannot recon
Gle that editorial opinion with any
thing said by General Gilchrist during
the campaign. On the contrary it was
Hon j. n. G. Stockton VINO declared
that in the event of his election he
would make a personal inspection and
investigation of the everglades drain
age question, and in the event he
found that it was business PROPOSE
ton he would continue the policy of
the present administration. l am pos
litive' of this for l remember using
this same declaration of AIR. Stock
ton to remind the voters of Dada and
Lee counties that so far as drainage
was concerned the declaration of GEN
eral Gilchrist, who stated positively
that this question had been settled by
the legislature and that he would en-
force the law, meant much more to
the friends of drainage than the dec
laration of his opponent, who practi-
caHy ignored the act of the legisla-
ture and presumed to use his own
judgment In the matter.
Public Men Tired of Drainage.
Consequently the opinion of Mr..
Stoneman is not borne out by the facts
in the case. General GilchIist will
not only enforce the law, but he has
plainly indicated that he meant to
legislature to the letter. OF course,
the next session of the legislature
may repeal or modify that law. but
this is hardly probable in view of the
claim, generally conceded, that the
