Hon. William \. Blount, of Pensacola,
has withdrawn from the Senatorial
race. He gives several reasons; but
the principal reason, is, of course, that
he thought the chances of winning were
not worth the effort necessary to make
the fight. Mr.. Blount and Duncan L.
Fletcher arc considered the two most
learned lawyers in Florida. But for
many years Mr. Blount has given his
best efforts to his clients, the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad Company, which
is the only railroad in the State that
has successfully dciicd the State Rail-
road Commission and maintained a
passenger rate of four cents a mile on its
trunk line This connection with the
railroad must have been found by Mr..
Blount a great incumbrancc in his
laudabe ambition to be one Of Florida S
United States Senators. While THE
News believes that Mr. Blount was big
enough and broad enough to forget his
railway connection chad he been elected
it is perhaps just as well under the
circumstance $, that he has withdrawn
The Office of United States Senator is
the highest within the gift Of a people of
a State, and when the office is held by a
man who has for years served q corpora
ton that has dclvcd in politics, and
has tried to control the politics of a
State. the acts of such Senator are
more subject to criticism than the
acts of man who has not served u
political-controlling corporation. The
experience of Mr.. Blount--onc of the
brightest minds in Florida-should be a
lesson 70 the young lawyer starting
out in practice. 1t should warn him
that, if he ever expects to ask the
people Of his State for a high and
dignihcd office. he should not ally him
self to any firm, person or corporation
that tries, or has tried, to control the
politics of the State. 1t docs not
matter how pure man may be in
himself, in thought or act-hc will be
judged by the company he keeps to a
certain extent. Mr.. Blount is a great
lawyer-hc has an unusually bright
legal mind-but if he has a desire to
serve the Ieoplc Of the State in a
position as high as Governor or United
States Senator, he should resign his
connection with any big corporation
that has ever tried TO corruptlv control
politcs-and then, after few years
probation the people may be glad to
give the brilliant mind a place where il
can be of service TO the State and the
nation.

President Roosevelt has overshadow-
ed Congress and been able to direct
legislation on an extent and in man
ner without parallel.
During these seven ROoseveltian
years the Congress has become more
and more CALLED by the Executive
yoke. He has been feared, and,
therefore, hated parsonage in Wash
ington at the very time when his pop
uality outside was most exalted.
And now the CALLED team has turn
ed on its driver. When he is about
to lay aside the whip of power, the
CALLED yOke-mates slash out with
their heels at their former master"
The main point made by the Amer
lean is that Congress- has ceased to
be the representative branch of the
Government, that the President is the
real spokesman of the people, with
a commission directly from the peo-
pie.

THE PRACTICAL JOKER.

The spirit which makes wedding
an occasion for rude practical joking
and boisterous hOrse-play has long
caused the judicious, even those who
are endowed with a sense of humor,
to grleve. Why should a man and
woman who have just taken upon
themselves a relationship, momentous
in the eye of the law and sacred in
that of religion, he regarded as fit
subjects for annoyance and persecu-
ton at the hands of their friends and
neighbors? And why, above all, should
IL be thought funny 10 annoy and
prosecute them? Not infrequently
serious injury has resulted from the
rough antics of the wedding clowns,
who are, of course too ill.bred to con-
slider anything so intangible as the
dignity and happiness OF their unfor'
tunate victims. But cheering intelli'
gence comes from Kansas. A chart.

THE SAME TO-DAY As EVER.

People in these days speak and
write very patronizingly Of the old
ages Of superstition. rejoicing that
they have passed, and that the world
has entered on wiser and saner
era. But, II the truth be told, every
age has had Its pet superstitions. and
II some have vanished, they have been
replaced by others quite as irrational.
In old pagan days, the Greeks and Ro.
mans before entering on any import.
ant business. consulted the Delphic
oracle. the Duncan Sybil or virgilian
Lots. Now many persons consult the
clairvoyants and the psychic mediums.
In those old times certain days and
numbers were supposed to be melevo-
lent. The idea that Friday Is a day
Of evil omen, comes from the fact that
Christ was crucified on that day. and
the superstition that thirteen Is
malevolept number arises from the
incident that at the Last Supper thir.
teen sat down at the table. and one
Of them was the arbitrator. Judas.
To-day many wise people decline to
start on a journey or enter into any
business enterprise on Friday. Our
own President Mckinley would never
inaugurate any public AFFAIR or sign
any important document on Friday.
There are kings and emperors who
still cherish the same superstition.
Great rulers have been noted for an
absurd faith In omens. Napoleon re.
garded the breaking Of looking glass
as a presage Of death or dire calamity.
The kaiser Is not devoid Of supersti-
lions, which to people In general seem
