DEATH TO THE HoUsEFLY!

DEATH TO THE HOUSEFLf!
Tae fellow VINO had MS toes cut
of and still suffered pain in them
must have had ptomaine poisoning,
or some dreadful thing of the kind.
It is strange there should be any
bitter or sour feelings among the peo-
pie o3 these United States in general
when they ate nearly three tons or
grsnulated sugar last year.
The Hillsborough county edition OF
the Tampa Tribune, ifty-six profusely
illustrated pages, does honor to the
papers management and is an adver-
Using medium of very great value.
1t is up to the Georgia railroad to
accept Governor Hoke Smiths friend
" OFFER of arbitration in the firemen's
strike, or follow after strange gods,
as others of the mistaken corpora
lions have done.
There's a brighter prospect that
the legislature Will pass the Joint
resolution calling for revision OF
the constitution. Should it do so, its
sins will be overlooked by a majority
of the people and it will adjourn in
blaze of glory.
The Pensacola Journal and the
Jacksonville ball team are both en-
gagged in the occupation of knocking
fies."-Tampa Tribune.
n
The Journal is crazy for people to
catch the flies but the ball players
are not.
1t looks as though the senate would
pass house bill 40, appropriating So
600 year for two years for the main
tenance of summer training schools
for teachers. 1t is a righteous meas
ure. of vast Importance TO the state,
and should unquestionably become
law.
Greed versus creed is becoming
quite a prominent question in eceles-
iastical bodies these days. Judas Is
CARROT once harbored a debate o. this
kind in his inner consciousness and
greed got the better of the argu-
ment. Everybody knows what hap
pened TO him. But Americas great
religious bodies are not apt to be led
astray. ..
------
II is resrettable that The ChipIey
Verdict fails to understand the posi-
ton o. The Journal with regard to
the Taliaferro naval stores inspection
bill-that is our admired contempt
rary does not seem to nave grasped
the closest inspection of naval stores.
On the contrary. believe 1t should be
made, but by the states in which the
stores are produced. And there is no
reason why such inspection should
not be quite as effective as one made
by federal officers and at the same
time avoid unnecessary interference,
constant delays and injury to the in
terests of producers and shippers.
Sheriff Cazalas. of Mobile. now on
trial by the Alabama supreme court
for breach of duty in taking no steps
to prevent the lynching OF the negro
murderer, Robertson, will have to
produce some strong evidence 10 neu-
tralize the testimony OF state wit
nesses. These nave testified that the
intention to lynch the negro was pub
lie gossip in all portions of Mobile
the day before it occurred, even
reaching the ears of suburbanites,
and IL has been definitely proven that
Deputy Sheriff Webb had been eau
toned regarding the lawless inten.
ton. Webb himself paid Cazalas a
high tribute as to the latter's charac-
ter, but acknowledged that he had
mentioned the rumored lynching and
that the sheriff pooh poOhed the idea.
But has a sheriff the right to take
such a view, ignore such a warn
ing? Even granting a perfect faith
in his righteousness, does not the
mere fact that he acted as he did
prove him unfit to occupy such a re-
sponsible office? In other words, the
chief police officer o. county should
show better judgment in sizing up
the temper of the people.
