II more of the editors Of Florida
newspapers were possessed Of the
same kindly disposition as w. B.
Hare Of The Arcadia News the breth-
rem would come nearer dwelling to-
gether In peace. The issue OF his
paper Of February 21st contains an
editorial under the caption of Gentle
men, Spare the Aged" which should
be carefully read by every editor in
the State. 1t breathes the right spirit,
and SO far as The Sun is concerned
we are glad to say that We have en-
deavored, as journalist, to live up
to the precepts thereof. We agree
with Brother Hare that all three Of
the candidates for Governor are hon
cradle men, either Of whom would
make the State a good chief execu-
tive, and We think none the less of
those editors who are not supporting
The Suns choice-John N. G. Stock
ton. They have as much right to a
choice as we have and We believe
they we're as honest in arriving at the
conclusion as to whom they would
support as We were.

ONLY ONE MEDIUM.

The BrOOksVille Argus, an ardent
supporter of the Broward administra
ton, correctly sums up the present
situation in Florida politics as fol
lows:
It is an anomalous state OF af-
fairs to have a party to call itself
Democratic and yet have no way
provided for the people to express
their sentiments except through
the medium of office.holders and
oflce-seekers. Under present con-
ditions the people are only called
up TO decide between contestants
who shall hold the offices. That
the masses may have views and
wishes to express aside from their
choice OF offlce-seekers does not
appear to have entered into the
minds OF those who devised the
present system of party manage
ment.
The Apalachicola Times makes
the following pertinent comment upon
4 he Argus statement Of the case:
The Argus has not forgotten the
days when the party assembled
In convention and adopted a plat
form Of principles. The adoption
OF the primary-a free-for-all fight
In which the personality of the
candidate plays an important part
has changed this condition, and
there are many men who are not
satisfied with the change. Pri-
maries are expensive luxurles and
frequently the poor but deserv-
ing man Is debarred from Office
seeking on account OF the expense
he must incur II he is a candidate.
Primary politics depends-not
so much upon the pole that reach
es for the persimmon, but upon
the length of the candidates
purse, hence party principles are
becoming obsolete and the dollar
replaces the fundamentals OF de-
mocracy.
Bros. Russell and Johnston have cor
'ectly sized up the present situation
n Florida. The Democratic party of
he State is without a decalogue OF
principles and the sole issue is
Office" The State committee which
net in Jacksonville on the 18th inst.
hould have called a State convention
o nominate Presidential electors, Sc
ect delegates to the National conven.
Ion an adopt a platform Of prln-
iples, but It Is evident that the pow.
RS that be are, afraid to trust delet

of the world Even if his heart was not in the work, the scheme might ap- peal to him. It would gratify his de- sire for fame. his lust for power, his longing to be something greater than the richest man fin the world"
 And in that mean little back room. as poor scene as could be imagined for the birth of an Idea that might re- generate the world. Sir Richard Gauat sat with his chin on his hands and wondered how far it would be lawful to ask help of the Mammon of Un- righteousness.
 After a while he rose to his feet and paced up and down the room. his dark eyes alight with eagerness. his thin. muscular body aglow with the desire for action.
 The poor man suffered because he could not get what he wanted The rich man because he had got all that he wanted. The two extremes met in common bond of unhappiness. Neith- CT had any worthy object in life, any pleasure that was independent of all external circumstances It is the hid- eous decree of the Money God that those who serve him shall serve him alone, whether they succeed or fall. whether they struggle for a mere pitt tance or whether they are the posses sors of millions. There Is no room for anything else in their hearts.
 These thoughts stung Sir Richard Gaunt to fierce enthusiasm. If he could only shatter this idol. if he could break down the whole social system. in which every one takes his place &C., cording to his financial position, if he could give rich and poor something that neither wealth nor poverty could destroy. something which would make them secure against all the chances of fortune, if he could only do this he would bring happiness into the world.
 He knew that only one power would bring about so stupendous result. and that was the power of religion. This alone could raise men above all the accidents of birth and shield them from all the blows of circumstance.
 The bitter irony of the whole situa- tion lay in the fact that two things were absolutely necessary for the work that lay before him. and both were in themselves mean and despicable. The first was money. and the second was self-advertisement
 new movement can only be start. ed by attracting attention. Even the appearance in a police court was A means to an end.
 The movement can only be carried on by money. whether in the shape of chance subscriptions or solid financial support.

in room that was occupied last week
 by one of England's proudest nobles.
 Tn the course of conversation
 which lasted for seventy-five seconds
 or nearly quarter Of a minute longer
 than Mir. Lampirthy usually accords to interviewers, we gathered that the
 richest man In the world finds life a
 burden almost too hard to be borne that he yearns for the simple life that he hates public libraries, and charities of all kinds. We suggested
 an obvious remedy. and that closed
 the interview. which was meteoric in
 it's brevity and brilliance.
 His first secretary. however, who has the salary of Prime Minister told us that he puts a thousand beg ging letters in the waste-paper basket every day"
 Sir Richard Gaunt,s lips frightened. as he read these few words of the irre- sponsible retailer of interesting rub
 bish. This man Lampirthy was the
 fastest runner in the race for which the world had entered. He was the strongest man fin a contest which was waged through every minute of time in almost every quarter of the globe. He had come out on top. lie had more power for good and evil than any em-
 peror or president or king He was
 the apotheosis of the gospel of wealth.
 And yet he was not happy and he
 found life burden to him. This was
 probably true. Tn spite of the allow ance that had to be made for the pose which millionaires assume before rep resentatives of the Press. The very rich men find pleasure hi shouting about the evils of rIches. But. in spite of this theatrical attitude. there fs bound to be an element of truth in their repeated denunciation of wealth. The child. who eats too many sweets. is sure to feel sick.
 Private appeals for help and requests for subscriptions to charities would fail to touch the heart of q man like Lampirthy. He would be doubtful of the value of his gifts. he would look on them as a mere tax exacted from a man in his position. The result, too. would be indefinite. The money, di-, rected into thousand channels, would do little more than swell the current which flowed through each. And. when the man died. there would be nothing to point to as the single handed accomplishment of a single great worker.

THE PANAMA CANAL
 XTV-- -OLD FRENCH DAYS

By Fredric J. Haskin.

from the French plans. have been forced to come back to them. The most notable instance of this is the case of the dams at the Pacific end of the Canal. The French had planned two. one at Pedro Miguel, and the other at Mirafiores When the Amer icans took charge they planned one at Pedro Miguel and the other at Sosa Hill. When they began to make the dump at Sosa they found that the ground seemed to have no bottom. A trestle for railroad track would be put Tn, and the first dirt train on it would cause 1t to sink many feet. Fin ally the dam site was entirely aban- doned and a sea level canal will be dug to Mirafores, just as the French had planned.
 The machinery which the French regime bequeathed to the Americans has been of immense value. When we took hold there were Ills store houses filled with various kinds of canal dig ging outfit, fifteen large warehouses and forty-one parks. All told there was enough in this greatest of scrap heaps to cover a 500 acre farm three feet deep, leaving enough to build a six foot fence around it all The latest French inventory assessed its worth at s2s.000,000. There. were fifty seven barges. thirty-eight yawls. twen- ty-One steam ldunCnes, Ifa Iron Cfdncss 800 big pumps. 14s rock drills Snd dredges. steam engines. dirt cars. etc, without end.
 All the French equipment was of the best. The Americans will go out into the jungle, unearth an old dredge that has lain there exposed to the elements for twenty years. float 1t down to the dry dock at high water. spend about 10 per cent. of its first cost in repairs. and they have a dredge which will do as good work as 1t ever did. They will take an engine which has stood in the wather so long that the cab has routed to pieces, put on a touch here and another there, and they have a nrst class engine. On some of these engines as much as a thousand dollars worth of brass has been found.
 What is true of the machinery is true of the buildings. The house in which Governor Blackburn used to live was built twenty-five years ago. He said that he would hardly expect his pres ent home to look so well after twenty five years have passed. Exploring par ties from the Sanitation Department find machinery. houses and whole vil- lages buried in the jungles. A little rubbing away of rust and few re- pairs restore them practically to their former condition. What the French did they certainly did well. whether 1t was working or spending money.
