THERE Is sUT ONE SENSIBLE
THING TO 90.

The Pensacola Journal has repeat
edly referred to the duty OF the present
Legislature TO reappOrtion the repre-
senfatiOn OF that body. and In It's is
sue OF the 25th says:
Here Is the way the case stands:
The constitution Of Florida says there
shall be no more than one hundred
members OF the Legislature In House
and Senate combined. Il permits a
newly created county. however. TO
Increase this number by one repre-
sentative until the next appOrtiOn-
ment.
The same instrument provided
that a new apportionment should be
made in 1897 and every ten years
thereafter. The constitution was ig-
nored and no reappOrtiOnment was
made In 1897.
In 1905 the county Of So. Lucie
was created. This made the total
number Of representatives in the
Legislature Of 1907 one hundred and
one. This Legislature should have
provided for a reapportionment, as d.
rected BY the constitution. II did not
do so. Therefore. either equitably or
technically can the Legislature Of
1909 be regarded as a constitutional
body?
The last named Legislature has,
so far. refused 20 reappOrtiOn repre-
sentatiOn. On top Of this Il has add
ed another county and threatens TO
create one or two more and thus H.
legally increase TO a still greater ex-
tent the number OF representatives.
VIII any man with a level head say
Il has the right 90 do this?
The Journal admits that Il Is i'm
possible 20 reapportiOn representation
on any sort OF a rational basis under
present constitutional limitations;
but a constitution must either be
obeyed OF else amended. The whole
matter Is In a middle. The basic law
Of Florida Is being violated.
There Is no way 20 rectify the
trouble except by calling a cOnven-
ton 70 revise this law. II the Legis-
lature neglects 20 do this Il may
cause the State and the people of
the State no end Of confusion and dis
tress."

ment and believes that ne will be sue
cessful.
Besides the large number Of men
that VIII go from Gainesville. there
will be equally as many from Mica

the fun number allowed for this
event
Gainesville has always manifested
great pride In her military boys and
she has always been well repaid by
the manner In which they have adyer-
tised the city and carried honOrs that
would have gone elsewhere. and the

credit. as the men are welldrilled

test they may enter with the State

peared by Mr.. Morton Riddle. It's

number OF citizens OF Gainesville also
appeared. and the parties were
heard; and the said Atlantic Coast
Line railroad submitted q blue print
or plan Of the proposed changes in
the depot aforesaid. and the matter

Ii EREAFTER there will be no pure
IL ~ ornamental places in the for
efgn service Of the United States
While this cannot be said to be new
policy, 1t Is the declared intention OF
the present administration, and espe.
cially Of the state department., that
there shall be no deviation from it.
This rule will not be made to apply
only to the diplomatic service, but to
the consular Offices of the United
States from the highest to the lowest.
In years past there have been
many complaints that the consular
service of the United States was, gen.
orally speaking. inefficient and of q
much lower grade than that of many
foreign countries having representa-.
tives in the United States. The state
department officials themselves in
previous years have acknowledged
this. and while the service has i'm.
proved of late. 1t has not made the
rapid advance that is noticeable in
the service of some of our foreign
trade competitors.
At present this government has In
foreign countries 298 consuls and con-
suls general, with a large number OF
vice and deputy consuls, interpreters,
etc.. making total of about 1900, and
it Is the expressed determination of
the state department to elevate the
service in every possible way. A
working familiarity with the subjects
with which they will have to deal is

Charles J. McManus said the other

That year they shipped for J. p. Nor

million dollars.
The brothers, who have been hand
ling vast sums of money daily for
many years, have become so accus-
toned to the sight of gold coin that
it has no more significance to them
than so many potatoes, but they have
found that new man on the job
often becomes so nervous when hand
ling such great quantities of wealth
that he is unable to work.
While there has never been any
gold lost by the brothers, they re-
