J. J. Judevipe was a pleasant caller al
the Gazette office on Wednesday. In
Wisconsin he says they have got about
the finest roads in the Uuited States;
out their land and crops don't amount to
much compared with Nebraska. The

The editor OF the Cambridge Democrat

mand that the north pole be added to
the democratic column, because Dis

led the bright Walquist of the Hastings

One Nebraska paper advocates plan
whereby young ladies attending church

rest This plan would undoubtedly be
a great convience for a certain class OF
young men and would work well in many
places.

No other remedy can be compared
with Rexall Orderlles for the easy, pleas
ant and successful treatment of con-
stipation. The active medicinal ingred-
lent of this remedy, which is odOrlees
tasteless and colorless. is an entirely new
discovery. Combined with other valua-
BILE ingredients, it forms preparation
which is incompatible as a perfect bow

gentle and agreeable action. They do
not cause gripping or any disagreeable
effect or Inconvenience, and may be
taken at any time, day or night.
We particularly recommend Rexall
Orderlies for children and for delicate
or aged persons, because they do not
contain anything injurious. Unlike
other preparations, they do not create
habit, but instead they overcome the
habits acquired through the use Of
ordinary laxatives, cathartics, and harsh
physic and remove the causes of con-
stipation or irregular bowel action that
are not of surgical variety.

NO EXCUSE FOR
SUCH A CRIME.
Jacksonville Times-Union,

That mob that hanged Mick Nor
ris at Tallahassee Sunday morning
before day seemed rather bent on ex-
pressing its contempt for law than on
taking the life of one who deserved
to die. l. there was ever an excuse
for lynching there was none in this
case. The prisoner had not commit
ted the crime for which general SEN
tinIent agrees that speedy death
should be melted out. The mob did
not act under q sudden impulse, for
the crime was committed nearly three
months ago. There was no reason to
complain at the laws delay, for the
legal execution would have followed
the crime within three months. There
was no reason to fear a failure or
justice, for the man would have been
legally hanged in five days. Work on
the gallows had already commenced,
and the governor had said the negro
would not be pardoned and his SEN
tence would not be committed.
There were reports that the negro
was acting queer" This Is the only
shadow of an excuse, and IL Is too
shadOwy. If the negro was insane.
did the mob wish to murder a crazy
man? Did it fear that the sentence
os a sane man would be cOmmuted in
spite of Governor Gilchrist's state
ment that it would not be committed?
It really seems that these men had
little in view except an expression of
contempt for law and for the state
authorities. We hope the authorities
will thoroughly investigate this mat
ter. Men who wish to blight the
name of the state and to throw dis
credit on one of the best communi
ties of Florida by substituting an iHe-
gal execution for a legal one should
be punished and punished severely.

Brick Masonry a
Good Trade to Learn.

In yesterdays Journal occasion
was had to call attention to the need
of manual training in public schools;
the education of children along prac-
teal lines of usefulness; in other
words, the teaching of trade. For,
no matter how extensive ones aca-
demic education may be, to supple
ment it with concrete knowledge Of
some trade or art would prove Of
great advantage.
1t will be a glorious era in the
worlds history when, for instance,
every banker may leave his comph-
Gated study Of finance to make a
horseshoe and every blacksmith may
be competent to assume the presi-
dency of a financial institution. This
is, of course, more or less, but a
Utopian dream. But who knows?
Stranger things have taken place in
this world OF ours.
What a happy thing for himself and
for the community, it would be, should
an impoverished college graduate be
able to step in and make a living
through this opportunity thus pre-
scented by The DeLand News:
Why is It that more of our young
white men do not learn plastering
and brick masonry? A white man
will labor for years as a carpenter
before he can earn $2.75 to $500 a
day. while a brick mason can grad
uate' after six months and claim 81
8 day. Ninety-nine out of every hun
dred of these masons can't plumb
8 wall, and 10 per cent. OF the re-
naming l per cent can't plaster a
wall evenly. The average brick
mason" either gets twice too much,
or the carpenter only half enough
There would surely be no disgrace
for a college man to engage in this
honest work, and by it he might lay
by sufficient money to make il posi-
BILE to realize his hearts desire along
a chosen line of life employment.

high value placed upon those who
understand it; and any observant

proper catagOry. 1t could adopt a
plain and unmistakeable declaration
of principles by the standard of
| which Democratic faithfulness and
fealty could be measured and it could
also lay down the law to executive
and legislative officials who, plac-
ed in power by Democratic votes,
have frequently departed from Demo-
cratic pTecepts-
Two able editors have expressed
themselves quite recently on this sub
ject and the Tribune reprints, with
its hearty concurrence. what they
have to say.
The Pensacola Journal makes the
suggestion in the following words:
The Journal believes that the Dem
ocrats of Florida should meet in con-
vention and enunciate party princt-
pies. They should also take under
consideration and amend the consd-
tuition of the state and make OF 1t
an instrument TT to meet the re-
quirements Of a great commonwealth
OF the twentieth century. And such
q convention, by the sanity and hon
esty of it's enactments, should prove
the greatest of all incentives Tor yot-
ers not now included in the Demo-
cratic rostrum to enroll themselves
and work enthusiastically for the par
ty of the people.
And the sentiment is echoed by the
Tallahassee Morning News as fol-
lows:
The Journal is right. Chairman
Price could not do the party in Flor
ida greater service than by calling
the state committee together and
talking over the matter. 1t is none
too early to arrange for conven-
ton early in the fall. Candidates
will be cropping out here and there
for the egislature-feeling their way
and they should know dennltely
what the party stands for in the
most important matters that AFFECT
the states welfare. The convention
could itself make notifications OF the
ticket in next years primary as would
eliminate a great many of the OBJ
jectionable and expensive features.
BY all means, Mr.. Price, get your
committee together and talk over the
matter.

PHILOSOPHIC THOUGHTS
ON THE OPEN GATE.
(0uincy Times.)

Were you ever walking along in
the still hours of the night, after the
moon had gone to rest, meditating
upon the sweetness Of life and the
goodness and kindness of your neigh
bors; at peace with all the world;
in love with everybody and every
thing and had reached the just con-
cIusion that this country was the
grandest in all the world and you
were so pleased with everything that
Won began to whistle softly and then
a little louder and louder still, as II
YOU were being swept away with the
melody Of your own WaTbling then
suddenly. without warning, come In
contact with a front gate that Is
swinging at right angles across the
streets?. How quickly, as you grab
bed Yourself near the waist line, did
your peaceful meditaJiens cease! the
kindness and goodness of your neigh
bors were forgotten, you were mis-
taken about the grandeur or this
country. You were mistaken about
everything save the shock to your
nervous system that you had just
received by coming in contact with
that open gate.
Dear reader, has 1t happened to
you? Is there gate that swings open
at all hours on your usual route?
Do you have to pick your way over
roots and bricks on a bad sidewalk
and Just as you sight the lamp in the
window" of your barbor, believing
yourself to be free from pitfalls and
sidewalks steps suddenly and with
out warning come in contact with
that open gate? Would YOU not be
willing to subscribe dime towards
erecting a marble statue to tue coun-
Gilman that would propose a bill
that all gates should only open to the
inside? That would relieve all dan
ger of losing your religion from TINT
open gate.

STILL ANOTHER GALL
FOR A STATE CONVENTION.
(Tampa Tribune.)
) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~As

So much uncertainty prevails as
to the correct answer to the question
What is a Democrat?" in Florida,
that the suggestion of a state Demo-
cratic convention, for the purpose of
defining a platform of principles for
the conduct of the party and its Of
fetal representatives is by no means
a bad one. At the recent session of
the legislature. Democracy was but
an empty name and although the two
houses we're nominaIly composed al
together of Democrats, men elected
as Democrats, the proceedings of the
session demonstrated that practically
every shade Of party belief was rep
resented among the legislators and
that the varieties of Democrats were
too numerous TO be successfully cata-
logued Al a matter of fact, much
of the so-called Democracy mani
tested in the introduction of bills and
in the debates which consumed so
much Of the time OF the session, So
cialism or nothingism, and disgraced
the name Of Democracy by its pres
ence under the Democratic banner
and its authorization by Democratic
votes.
The leading papers Of the state are
taking kindly to the suggestion that
a convention is needed to put the
Democratic party of Florida back in
to the proper path and to eliminate
from its ranks the people who have
no right there. but who, under the
dominance Of that party in this state,
find no other opportunity of obtain
ing Office or influence politically other
than by pretended allegiance to its
principles and policies. A state con-
vention would doubtless be enabled to
cast out these unworthy camp fol-
lowers" and TO place them in their

The Farmers Checks.

and saw a farmer sitting at the table
endorsing checks pre- paratery to

of them as to make our eyes open

of course do not know the amount Of
the individual checks, but knowing
that the owners shipments are uSu-

the checks were large also. Every

Paper From Okra
Down at Sanford.

This from the Sanford Herald is
significant and should provoke I'M
usual interest:
AS we go to press today it is ru
mOred that company will be or
ganiZed here to manufacture paper
from the okra plant. The manufac-
plant has been proved commercially
profitable and after a careful inves-
tigation it has been found that as a
secondary summer crop on Sanford
irrigated lands the okra could be
raised to better advantage than in
any other section of Florida, and with
the splendid water transportation and
railroad facilities a paper mill here
would pay large dividends. The Her
aid will give the particulars later.
The Journal will await the prom
ised particulars" on the tiptoe of
pleased expectation, For it's readers
will doubtless call to mind its sew
eraI editorials discussing the value
of paper making in Florida using
the okra plant for raw material. In
these editorials it called attention to
the fact that after careful investiga-
ton and practical test made by GER
tain progressive men of Macon, Geor-
gia, the fact was discovered that okra
fibre contained a highly productive
basis for paper making and that
these men had reached the conclus-
sion that the manufacture of paper
from this material would certainly
prove a commercial success.
And why should it be left for
Orange county to reap the first adj
vantage Of this knowledge? Of course,
as The Herald states, the okra plant
will flourish in that section and yield
an enormous crop at very small ex-
pense, the cost of cultivation in yAuch
congenial soil and climate being in
significant. But the same thing is
true of climatic and soil conditions
in Escambia eounty-in all the coun-
ties Of West Florida.
It is time for local capitalists to
wake up and realize the possibilities
contained in this enterprise. To make
careful investigation Of the matter
and satisfy themselves of the fea-
sibiIity of establishing a paper indus
try in this section. What industry
contains greater certainty of prof
it? With a cheap but highly pro-
ductive raw material what could pre-
vent vast profit in the making OF
a commodity the demand for which
is practically unlimited?
Pensacola could have no peer as
the location of great paper manu-
factories. The Journal looks for
ward with an earnest hope that some
day they Will be a reality. And, IN
will be lucky men indeed.
