PILES CURED IN 6 TO IA DAYS.

A Remarkable Record
of Circulation Increase.

It is no wonder that Printers Ink
gives especial mention to the alto
gether unusual growth OF Jackson
ville's big newspaper, the Times
Union. 1t presents a lesson in energy
and progressiveness which may we'll
be regarded as one of the most re-
markable on record. For he who
imagines that working up the circu-
lation of a publication is child's play
is the most mistaken man in the
world. 1t is a giants job and beset
with difficulties and disappointments
which defy enumeration.
Yet the Times Union, which start
ed the year 1908 with a daily cfrcu-
lation of 10000 and Sunday circu-
lation of 1860, ended the year with
the respective figures increased to
1890 for the daily and 1920 for the
Sunday edition. This was an in
crease of over As per cent in the first
instance and very nearly 40 per cent
in the second. The total number OF
papers printed during the year was
5,014.169 which consumed 1886, 500
pounds of white paper.
The Journal sincerely congratulates
its Gate City contemporary and trusts
its splendid achievement in 1908 is
but the forerunner of greater things
to cOme-a prophecy of the day when
Jacksonville will number it's pOpula-
ton with six figures instead of FIVE
and the Times Union will enjoy an
equivalent increase in its circulation

port of the measure. The Tribune
should stick to its democracy through
thick and thin and not be led astray.
b. questions OF expedieney when OPP
posed to grand principles OF govern
ment for which 1t is usually such a
pronounced, ardent and effective ad
vocate The Journal does not mean
TO charge that its much admired con-
temporary has been guilty of this, but
now can suspicion be avoided after
reading the paragraph quoted. And
The Times-Union speaks as follows:
The only valid objection to the Tai
iaferro naval stores bill is that it
might sometimes cause Inconvenience
to the small producers of naval stores.
1t would certainly neither cause loss
nor inconvenience to those who pro-
duee in large quantities or in mOder-
ate quantities Such shipments could
be inspected at the place of produc-
ton. Inspection at the point of pro-
dUction would not always or even gen.
orally cause inconvenience TO the
smallest producer. An inspector could
visit several camps a day and nine
times out Of ten even The smallest
producer could get the services of an
inspector whenever he wished one.
AS most of the producers are small,
be tineonvenience''-to say nothing
the extra burden of expense-would
De widespread. How many inspectors
does our contemporary think it would
require to do this work in the manner
it proposes, taking into consideration
the great distances between the
camps? Nor does the Taliaferro bill
state specifically that the inspectors
shall visit the camps; but declares
only that naval stores shall be exam
ined and graded before leaving the
state. OF course, everyone knows now
just what that means-the inspection
would be made at assembling points,
and, as Shakespeare remarks, there
by hangs a tale"
But wherever the stores might be
inspected the consequence of the Tai
iaferro law would prove an injury to
operators, would cause a constant
clash between federal and state au-
thorities, and would fix a precedent
for the invasion of an army of federal
officers to supervise every product
that might be an object of interstate
commerce.

Will Mr.. Fletcher's
Appointment Hold Good?

II has been announced in many of
the state papers that Governor Gil
christ has appointed Duncan T.
Fletcher to I'LL the vacancy in FTlori-
da's quota of United States senators
which will occur at the expiration of
the term of Senator Milton on March
4th, and last until the meeting of the
legislature April 9Th, when, doubtless,
that body will confirm the choice of
the people made in last summers
primary. and elect Mr.. Fletcher for
a full term.
So far as We have noticed, the Bar
tow Courier-InfoFmant has been the
only newspaper to call attention to
the fact that the governor did not nave
the authority to make this appoint
ment of a senator to commence a new
term. The. following is the opinion
of Editor Law and it seems a sound
one:
Mr.. Taft has expressed his inten-
ton of calling an extra session of con-
gIess to convene on the 18th of March.
AS Senator Milton holds only for the
unexpired term of the late Senator
Mallory, which ends on the fourth of
March, Florida will have but one SEN
atOr from that date until the next leg
islature acts upon the result of the
state primary and elects Mr.. Fletcher.
The governor has no right to appoint
a senator except for an unexpired
term and a senator cannot "hold over"
for any portion of a term other than
that for which he has been elected
or appointed. The senate has acted
on several such cases in recent years,
one of them from Florida, when Sen
ator Calls term had expired and no
successor had been elected for the
new term. He was not allowed to
hold over and the senate ruled that an
appointment by the governor in such
cases would not be recognized as a
valid title to seat in that body. The
| senate may have reversed itself since
then, but If il has, We have never
heard of IT.
The Journal does not for a moment
wish to be considered as opposing Mr..
Fletcher's appointment. On the con-
trary, If Governor GiIchrist was auth
| orized in naming him, he could not
have acted with better discretion;
but we fear that the senate will not
accept Mr.. Fletcher's credentials and
that the state will not have its full
representation at the commencement
OF Ihe very Important extra session of
congress which Mr.. Taft says he will
call in March.

Fruit Grower thus states her expert
ence with q home canning outfit- she
says:
My work was cut short this season
by the loss of the last shipment or
cans. However, submit figures for
the season OF one woman and a $40
home Gamer: Oceans, 1900 cans;
beets, 63 cans :; blackberries, 323 cans;
tomatoes, 472 cans; corn, IS cans;
grapes, cans; total, 1888 cans, only
two days hired help for the season.
In addition to them all the gooo
things l have said about the PENCIL
pod wax bean, I win state now (Oc-
tober 2O) the vines are hanging full
OF splendid pods, which are to fur
niSh next years seed. If 1 had
thought they would bear up so long
l would have put up 500 more cans
This output is all sold out except tn
tomatoes and beans, and at q good
price. for the product has nearly all
gone at retail prices
There is no doubt that the Florida
truck farmers could produce at
least all the canned vegetables used
IN local markets and thus keep 9
large amount of money at home 1t
any or our readers have experimental
along these lines we shall be glad to
hear from them.
If the woman addressing the Fruit
Grower sold the 2,53S cans of berries
aud vegetables at an average price
Of five cents a can, she realized the
gross sum of $1,000, and as by her
statement she paid for only two days
of hired help during the season, her
net profit on a ten dollar cannery in
Nestment must have been enormous,
as she sold out substantially the en-
tire output.
Now, does not this small but most
successful undertaking teach a great
lesson? And will not the agricuitur-
lists of Florida, the most prolific state
in the Union, give heed to it's teaCss
ing and embark in business as cers
tain to amply repay the effort as the
sun is to rise each day in its accus-
toned course? Let us hope so, both
for their sake and for the future
prosperity Of our great common
wealth

A Support Founded on
Very Poor Reasoning.

Il looks as though the drastic ac-
ton taken by the committee of the
house in tabling unanimously the Tai
iaferIo naval stores bill has given the
measure a knockdOwn. blow from
which it will not be likely TO recover.
Good democrats and good economists
viii unite in rendering thanks-for
the consequences of the passage of
the bill would have been a disastrous
invasion of state prerogatiye and the
overtaxing and disturbing of the nav
al stores business in every branch.
But The Journal wishes to reprint
clippings from The Tampa Tribune
and Jacksonville Times Union, both
of which publications have supported
the measure And it certainly strikes
the observer that these newspapers
purpOsely ignore the arguments
against it which should Immediately
have sprung to the minds of two such
staunch advocates of Simon-pure JEFF
fersonian doctrines. Says the Tri-
bune:
1t is hard TO arrive at a just reason
for the opposition that has been man
ifested to Senator Italia serTO's bill
q; Savannah and Pensacola. If the
adulteFation of naval stores is a bad
thing-and isn't any sort of dulteTa-
ton by which dishonest value is Civ
en- an article at tle expense of the
purchaser a bad thing?-why isn't a
bill seeking to prohibit the practice
a good thing? And, under the same
view, the more drastic the law pro-
POSED, the more effective. and, there
fore, the more commendable-
But pray. even if more drastic laws
are necessary, why can they not be
enforced by the states as well as if
not better than BY the federal govern
ment? Nor IS the statement that op-
POSITION is confined to the cities OF
Savannah and Pensacola warranted by
the facts in the case. The entire pine
belt arose in protest, leaving Jackson
vile and Tampa almost alone in, sup
