Passengers OF the new tuibinf

vibration experienced on ocean goine

sc far as Il relates to the engines, has
been suppressed and the conditions
greatly improved, but there is a Ger.

from the passage Of the propellers
through the water, and this never will
be overcome sc long Is propellers are

Frank Harris, of the Ocala
Banner, is an optimist. He be-
lieves that, 80 far as this country
in general and Florida in partiou-
lar are concerned, this is the gol-
den age of the world. He is hap
Ply in the contemplation of the
prodigious improvements made
within the past sixty years.
Here's a pessimist, however, who
does not believe that the reople of
the present, with all their wonder.
full improvements, are as happy as
their grandparents We're. The
ideal life was that of the old
Southern plantation of fifty years
ago Contemplate for a moment
the joy of camping in "God's first
temples" far from the madding
crowd, the world forgetting and
by the world forgot, the weary
mind relieved of its carking cares
and free to commune with Nature
and with Natures God. That's a
picture Of real joy.

Can't You Understand

just suppose that ninety-nlne
convicted men escaped punish
ment, would Editor Jordan like to
be the innocent man to hang for
the escape Of the convictede 1t
might rs we'll be him as some
other innocent man. - Madison
Recorder.
Why can't a newspaper man
understand plain English from
another newspaper MANI Editor
Jordan did not make the sug-
gestion contained in the above.
What he meant to say and the
idea he sought TO convey is simply
this: If one hundred men are on
trial for murder and ninety-nine
of them are guilty and one is in
nocent; and If the guilty cannot be
hung unless the innocent also
suffers, then lot the innocent man
perish along with the guilty; for
il Is better that this one gulltless
man should die in the interest of
law and the protection of human
life than that ninety-nine murder
ers should escape.
And al this particular time, as
improbable as it may seem, If
Editor Jordan were the innocent
man on trial and his death would
secure the execution of the ninety
nine assassins, no would be will
ling to become the sacrifice, for
his life Is not of great value any
way and the hest use that could be
made of it would he to yield it up
for the assured and guaranteed
protection Of the lives of his fell
low citizens against the red-handed
assassins who now stalk unpunish-
ed throughout the State. This is
only what the common soldier
does,

The Tallahassee Sun is recog.
nized as the organ of those politi-
cal "vrhree Friends" Governor
Broward, Mr.. j. M. Bars and
Hon. j. N. 9, Stockton, whom The
HERALD charges with composing a
political ring banded together for
the purpose of acquiring the high
est Offices within the gift of the
people. In the issue of the Sun
of Feby. LIST inst, the admission
is made that these three gentle
men furnished the money that
bought a type-setting machine for
F. b. Stoneman, a Miami newspa-
per man, with the natural expec-
tation that it would DO used to get
out q newspaper friendly to them.
This is evidence of the political
combination charged and it is
also evidence that the auti-Brow-
ard papers are not the only ones
that may come under Editor
L'Engle's reiterated favorite de-
nunciation of being "bought, own
ed, controlled" etc. But it strikes
us as right funny that these folks,
including especially Governor
Broward, who have been and are
so loud in denouncing papers o.
posed to them as being venal,
"owned or controlled by the in
terests," should themselves be
guilty of owning or controlling
newspapers in their own interest.
We suppose, however, that it is
all right for Messrs. Broward,
Bars and Stockton to do these
things which are so shameful when
done by others.

According TO the Elevator, a
Gainesville boy went out to split
some wood for his mother and, in
chopping up an old post, found
embedded within it ten $50 gold
pieces of the coinage of 1912,
which he sold for $4,000. Thus
we see that boys who cut wood
Cor their mothers are likely to get
-xich suddenly.

The legislature is the curse OF
Florida. Abolish it and let us
have government by commission,
initiative and referendum. In a
lot of one hundred men gathered
indiscriminately from all over the
State, there will always be enough
venal and ignorant fellows to in
aict serious harm on the State.

Expressions from various news
papers quoted on the first page
hereof indicate that General Gill
christ is making satisfactory pro-
gress in his campaign. The pa
pers, particularly the Tampa
Tribune, have great deal to say
in his favor-so much indeed, that
we have room foronly a part of it.
