BELATED HONORS

Away up in the northwest an edi.
tor who was once a doctor has un-
earthed the fact that Dr. Crawford W.
Long Of Athens, Ga, was the original
discoverer of the value of sulphuric
ether as an anaesthetic, and in proof
it publishes the physicians bill for
services to the first patient he oper-
ated upon. He performed two opera
tons of extracting fatty tumors, both
eminently successful and painless. and
charged the man four dollars and if
~ cents. of which fifty cents was for
the ether and its administration, and
the four dollars covered the two oper-
atoms and subsequent treatment This
was in 1912. If DR.. Long had lived in
Boston or New York he would have
had two assistants and the surgery
would have cost the patient five hun
dred dollars, and the operator would
have become famous instead of having
the honor and credit of the discovery
stolen from him.-Tampa Times.

IS that it appeared early in the night
in the northwestern portion of che

than any comet that has appeared

PUBLISHERS ENTER PROTEST

The Lancaster County (Pa.) Pub.
fishers Association at its April meet
ing resolved to enter is formal protest
against the postofice department OF
the government supplying the gener.
al public with envelopes or other
printed matter. The basis of it is in
line with the protests of printers in
general-that it deprives them of a
large amount of work on which they
used to realize a fair profit.
The association deems it no more
reasonable that the government
should supply the people enevolopes
than that it should supply them
clothes, coal or bread at the cost OF
production; that it would seem even
more reasonable for the government
to acquire the coal fields, the oil fields
the railroads, telegraphs and tele
phones and other public utilities and
give them to the public at cost and
thus prevent the trusts from becom.
ing so powerful.

The opportunity may never present

arm to arm and shoulder to shoulder

achieve a great triumph, and will be
in position to give stubborn and ag-
gressive battle next year.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF
FLORIDA
corrected?

The psalmist David must have been
speaking of the democratic party of
Florida when he said: Il am fearfully
and wonderfully maze.
If the democratic party of Florida
is not 'fearfully and wonderfully
made" then we never saw anything
that was
1t is a conglomeratiOn of demOcl ats,
socialists, populists, independents and
republicans.
The only correct picture that could
be drawn of it would be a dish Of
boarding house hash.
When the democrats in convention
at Tampa a few years ago, made a
compromise with the populists, they,
like Esau, sold their birth-right for a
mess of pottage-very poor pOttage
at that
From that day to this hour the pop
ulists, socialists, Independents and re-
publicans have led the democratic
party around by the nose.
1t was this gang that forced the pri-
mary system on the democratic party,
and it is the primary system which
has made the once powerful democrat
ic party of the state of Florida a by
word, reproach, and stencil in the
nostrils of Simon-pure democrats in
every quarter of our union.
The effect produced by this primary
system, which is controlled by popu-
lists, socialists, Independents and re-
publicans, has been to relegate our
statesmen to the shades of private
life and bring to the front a SET of
men of mediocre ability, who are
strangers to the first principle of
craftsmanship and whose highest con-
ception of official duty is how much
money is there in it,"
If there was ever a time, if there
will ever be a time, when the demo
cratic party should be organized on
safe and sane principles, that time is
now.
For the present conglomeration,
miscalled the democratic party, like
the Confederate dollar bill, stands for
nothing on Gods green earth, nor in
waters below it, nor in the heavens
above it.
Nobody knows where we are at,
where we are going to, nor what We
are going to do when we get there.
1t is high time that the democrats Of
Florida pull themselves together, get
rid of this conglomeration that has
destroyed our party organization, and
once more stand for principles and
policies which will cement us together
and command the respect of all who
oppose US.
We, therefore, heartily second the
motion which has been made by the
Lake City Index to call a convention
of the democrats of this state to meet
at some central point soon after the
adjournment of the legislature to for
mulate a platform and a policy of po-
litical procedure.-Jasper News.
