r. Hudson Burr is charged with
responsibility for the passage Of the
law which prohibits the railroads from
exchanging transportation 20 editors
for advertising space. We are not pre-
pared to say that the charge is true.
but IL was reported In Tallahassee
that Burr went before the committee
and argued against n provision in the
bill permitting such exchange. We
are informed that Mr.. Burr was a,
one time a farmer. and We wonder
how he would have liked a Law which
prevented him from exchanging the
products Of his farm with the merch.

would have considered such a law a
damnable outrage.

ANOTHER INDUSTRY.

Confirmation OF the value Of long
leaf yellow pine wooden blocks as
paving substance was received In
New York a few days ago. when the
result OF an interview between Will
lam 10. Lewis, a director Of the Mar
ket Street Merchants Association.
and J. G. Garthwaite. assistant ensi-
neer OF London. who unQua linedly
gave as his opinion that he is in favor
OF wood blocks, and stated that they
have given satisfaction in the English
Capital
Mr.. Lewis, who is on a foreign tour.
and is intensely interested in having
Market street paved with the best
and most desirable material, said that
Mr.. Carthwaite stated that creosoted
pine wood blocks have proven most
satisfactory. and especially SO where
the traffic Is the heaviest. II has
given such good service. he said. that
the streets In the suburbs have
been paved with the same material.
Engineer Garthwaite laid special
emphasis ON the value OF wood block
as a street paving material. because.
he said, II In noiseless, clean. sanitary.

than any other material and Is easily
kept In repair. In some parts Of Lon
don, Mr.. Garthwaite said. the same
blocks have been In constant use for
more than twenty years without re-
curing repairs.
The editor OF The True Democrat
witnessed the operation last fall Of
the tearing up Of belgian blocks In
the city Of Atlanta, and the substitu-
ton OF square creosoted pine blocks

The WILL OF the PEOPLE.

General Law, the veteran ana aOie
editor OF The Bartow-Courier-lnform'
ant. sums UP the situation regarding
the prohibition amendment TO be
voted upon next year as follows;
Attorney Wells criticisms OF the
prohibition amendment resolution
passed by the last Legislature con
tinue TO be the subject OF lively dis
cussion throughout the State. IL Is
all very well for lawyers. like Don
McMuIlen and Mr.. Wells, 20 indulge
in long discussions, handy technical
tiles and cite 'pints' Of law, but plain
common sense people want a plain.
common sense statement Of the mat
ter. without any legal frills or furbe-
lows which only serve TO create doubt
and confusion In the minds Of ordi-
nary people.
I'VE have studied the subject thor
oughly and We don't think we are
fiattering ourself in the least when we
claim TO know more about the con-
stitutlon and laws of the State than
the large majority Of the members Of
our late brilliant Legislature. Here
are our conclusions In a nutshell:
The people being the source OF all
power and the creator Of the constitu-
ton itself. can alter or amend that
instrument In any way they please.
provided Il is done In a regular cleo
ton which expresses the popular will.
The conclusion IL. therefore beyond
question, that II the prohibition reso
luton receives q majority OF the
popular vote Il becomes the law, even
~ IL tears every rag Of our old consti.
fttuiOn into shreds-simply because
the PEOPLE. the source Of all power,
have decreed IT,
Secondly. the resolution having
been passed. becomes the supreme
Law and every provision Of IL must
be carried out. One plain provision
Is that II shall go into effect July FIRST,
1911. Il Is the plainest sort Of a prop
osition that the Legislature OF 1911.
which will adjourn early in June. can.
not enact legislation under a constitu-
tional provision or amendment which
Is not yet In force IL would be just
as reasonable to claim that a train
OF railroad cars could move before
the motive power of the engine is ap-
piled. We therefore look for no legis-
alton under the amendment at the
regular session OF 1911. but an extra
session Will be called for that purpose
on or after July FIRST. the date fixed
by the amendment itself for il TO be.
come OF force.
II the amendment is carried az the
election OF 1910 there is no doubt
whatever that Governor Gilchrist will
call an extra session, for he has actei
thus far. and always will. We believe.
act In accordance with the will OF the
people, which was the strongest plank
in the platform on which he won the
race for Governor.
"All OF US. both prohis and ants.
had just as well make up our minds
TO one thing: the battle is going 20
be fought to finish without any halt.
ing. hesitating or retreating. Should
the amendment be defeated In the
election. that ends the matter for the
time being: should Il be carried. its
progress will not be seriously check.

comes the law In Florida"
