The three great forward steps in
woman's houSework are:
The modern range in place of the
old fireplace and kettle;
The sewing machine In place of
laborious hand-sewing;
Fels-Naptha soap, which makes it
easy to wash clothes In cool or lukcwarm
water, without boiling or hard rubbing.
Of these three, Fels-Naptha saves the
woman more back-breaking labor, more
time, more money, and does more to
make life pleasanter than either of the
others.
At the very first, you can see how it
saves time and labor, but perhaps you'll
wonder how Fels-Naptha saves money.
In two ways: First it saves the cost of
coal or gas to heat water and boil the
clothes.
Then the clothes last longer when
washed with Fels-Naptha in cool or luke
warm water.
Their fibre isn't weakened by boil
ing norSstrained by hard rubbing.
You can't realize just what a help
Fels-Naptha is until you've tried it in
your own washing.
Why not begin next washday1

place of the tiresome, tedious back break
ing method.

CITY FORTUNATE
IN ITS ENEMIES
Committee Members Opposed to
Hetch Hetchy Have Poor
Records

Those interested in the Hetch Hetchy
water project were inclined yesterday
to believe that San Francisco was par
ticularly fortunate in the personnel Of
Its enemies in the United States senate.
While the request of the city was sup
ported by Senator'S Flint, Nelson, Hans
brough, Dixon and 1fcLaurin, it was op-
posed and for the time held in abey-
ance by the antagonism of Senator's
Fulton Of Oregon. Smoot Of Utah. Hey
burn of Idaho. Clark OF Wyoming, New
lands OF Nevada, McEnery of Louisiana
and Bankhead of Alabama.
The bitter opposition of Senator'S Full
ton, Hepburn and Clark was to be ex
pected. They have consistently fought
any attempt to make use of public do
main for the people and have been loyal
members of that pirate band that has
sought to turn the public resources over
to corporate and vested interests. They
have done watch dog duty for the
grasping power and lumber companies
that have regarded the government
lands as their private treasury and have
bitterly contested every step taken by
President Roosevelt to preserve the
forests and the streams for the public.
These three men have been leaders
among the pack in the senate.
RECORDS OF DISLoYALTY
Fulton and Clark in particular have
records black with disloyalty to their
constituents. Fulton's career has been
public scandal. His methods have
been those of the most abandoned ma
chine politician He has been practi-
caIly charged with wholesale bribery
t. DIT H. =, Il,
be a public nuisance. He will not re-
turn to the senate after March 1.
Senator Clark has become notorious
as an ally of the corrupt coal and rail-
road interests. He has been a conspic-
uous figure in that strongly entrenched
Rocky mountain group against which.
President Roosevelt has battled so con-
stantly.
NEWLANDs A SURPRISE
The opposition of Senator Newlands
has created general surprise. It was
known that his private interests were
closely identified with those of Spring
Valley, but it was thought that New
lands had as much pride OF city and
country as of purse and personal
friendship. He was at one time attor-
ney for the Spring Valley company.
His large financial interests have iden-
tilted him with the men at the head
OF the local public service corporations,
but those who have watched his career
had thought that his long public serv-
ice had taught him to place the public
veal above petty personal service
Newlands has stabbed the city that
reared him.
Senator Smoot is a corporation man
of Utah. He is affiliated with the Har-
riman interests and is prominently
connected with several large banks in
Salt Lake.
Senator McEnery of Louisiana has
been consistent programmer with
small regard to the merits of individual
cases. Senator Bankhead, according to
the records. has moved steadily along a
line parallel to but a safe distance be-
low the dead level OF the mediocre

The boldest streetcar holdup in local

when two young men, unmasked,
,fopped q Sutter street car on Ca1ifo1 :
MIA street between Thirty third and
Thfrtyfourth avenues last night, and
Hesmer with a revolver, robbed him
of S35 belonging to the company and
SIS of his own. The pair then ordered
him to ring for the car to stop. He
obeyed, and as they got off they or
dered him TO ring for it to go on.
1t was evident that the crooks were
prepared to hold up any passengers
that might have been on the ear, as
from their position on the street they
could not see that the car was empty.

This is the way the Toledo Blade,
republican paper, speaks of the late
Governor Johnson of Minnesota:
A strong man in American states
manship has been removed by the
death of Governor Johnson of Mime
sofa. He was as remarkable in win
ming national respect as he was re-
markable in carrying elections in the
face of great odds. His partisanship
was of the kind which Mr.. Taft had
in mind when he described the neces-
sity for a strong and healthy oppo-
sition.
The Johnson boom for the presi-
Dental nomination brought forth
many interesting stories of the mans
personality and the history of his
struggle against adversely. His first
earnings had been employed in light
ening the burdens of poverty which
rested upon his mother. He had aid
ed his brothers and sisters to gain
an education, his own having mostly
been acquired from the shelves of a
public library. In the heat of politics
he always maintained his temper and
Il was his pleasure to wish for the
speedy ending of campaigns that all
OF us might be the same old friends

ming and the genial personality that
could turn a meeting of political lead.
ers into a discussion of baseball, serv-
ed to win the affection of those who
came in contact with him and the ad.
miration of all Americans who love
to see pluck and good nature in their
big men.
The country could Ill afford o lose
such a man as John Johnson.

THE BANNERS DEMOCRACY

The Ocala Banner has made its po-
sition on the tariff matter quite clear
during these past few months, and
the Metropolis has admired the stand
taken by that paper The Banner is
not modest about it, however, and AS
serts that it is the only paper in
Florida that stands absolutely For
free trade. The Pensacola Journal IS
not to be forgotten. We believe that
publication has some positive ideas
concerning the tariff. Maybe the Ban
ner and the Journal can get together,
and afford twin examples of the genu-
inc Jeffersonian democracy. While
entirely willing to take hats off to the
Banner for its laudable stand as TO
the tariff and congratulate it upon
being so right on this question, we
cannot refrain from wondering how
the Banner at the same time can he
so wrong concerning the primary.
The editor of the Banner is one of
the old warehouses, and he undoubted-
ly remembers the fight the country
over for the primary against the con-
vention system. 1t was the avenue
that afforded the outlet to the people
who were hemmed in between the ma
chine politics of both parties. The in
terests controlled the democratic par
ty if it was in power, and the inter
ests controlled the republican parry
if it was in power. Direct nomina-
tons by the people was the solution,
and brought about the establishment
of the organic principles of democrat
cy-placing the first power of the
government in the hands of the PEP
pie.
The Banner and its confreres would
now take a step backward and sur
render all that has been accomplish
ed in this line for the people, which
is for the political welfare of the
country, and put the nomination of
candidates again in the hands of the
few assembled in convention, or the
fewer still who control conventions
from the ante-rooms.
The Metropolis would like to see
the Banner come out solidly for the
people in this respect as it has on the
tariff question. The good that it
could do and the influence that it
yields should be at all times on the
side of the people, for we believe its
views to be honestly conceived ami
no matter what they hap
pen to be.-Miami Metropolis.

AN INLAND CANDIDATE

BY the way, when is Editor Harris
of the Ocala Banner going to nomi-
nate that inland candidate for the
United States senate? Every section
of the state is pretty well represented
in the race, except the peninsular.-
Miami Metropolis.
Our politics are rapidly degenerat-
ing into a matter of commercialism.
Il want my district to get a fair
share of the loot" is not an unfamil-
lar expression.
Our congressman are generally Sc
lected from the seacoast cities, and
the most that is expected of them is
to secure appropriations for the deep
ening of rivers and harbors, and the
erection Of custom houses and other
public buildings for their respective
cities.
The idea has long been prevalent
that it is the peculiar province of the
national government 10 exercise an
Oversight of rivers and harbors, but
such a thing as a national highway
has no place in the theory of our
government, and it is repugnant to
public policy to advocate it.
Under this prevailing and dominant
idea the seacoast cities are being
built up at the expense of the inland
cities
We want the inland cities to come
into the possession of all that be-
longs to them. We want them to en-
joy an equal freight rate with the sea-
port cities. We want the idea to be-
come dominant that highways to the
farms are as important as deep har-
bors to the sea.
Why should a city, because it is To-
Gated on a river leading to the sea,
be given a much lower freight rate
than a city remote from water trans
portation? Is there any good reason
for it either in equity or justice?
The inland cities, being dependent
solely upon the railways for their
freights, should be treated fairly, and |
if the railways stand in their own
light and refuse to do so, and treat
them unfairly because they have
them in their clutches, they should be
made to do so by legal enactments, |
which cannot be brought about if the
inland cities have no representatives
in our legislative tribunals to hammer
this idea into life.
Who are the candidates for the
United States senate from Florida?
Mr.. Taliaferro form Jacksonville, |
Mr. Broward from Jacksonville, Mr..
Blount from Pensacola, Mr.. Reeves
from Pensacola, and Mr.. Claude Len
gle, nominaIly from Tallahassee, but
who has had his political training in
Jacksonville.
We cannot place the inland cities
on an equality with the seaport cities
with a delegation of this kind in con-
gress to carry into effect the ideas we
have outlined.
We must have men in official posi- |
tions who will say firmly to the inter
state railway commission and the
state railway commissions that ev-
cry tub in this republic shall stand
on its own bottom, that equal freight
rates shall be accorded alike to all
cities, and that no special privileges
shall be granted to any; and that
highways shall be built to the farms
the same as waterways to the sea.
That's the platform for the interior
to adopt, and it wants to put a man
on it so as to popularize Il and make
1t become the policy of the states and
the nation
The public treasury should not be-
long to a class.
