OLD SENATORS
HANG|N' ON THE WALL
THERE WILL BE Is "PRoGREssWEs" IN THE NEW SENATE


associated with the powder trust,
but in spite of the smell of powder
which he carries about with him,
he is acting with the progressive
element. Smith, Michigan, was
not rated as a progressive when
serving in the house, but he has
seen a new light and has taken
the oath of allegiance to the in
surgent cause in the senate.
Piles is as progressive as he
knows how to be, while on the
other hand, Gamble is as reaction
airy as he dares to be. in his own
state Gamble is progressive, and
in the senate a cautious reaction
airy.
Sutherland, Utah, deserves men,
ton on the other hand as being
progressive as a senator chosen by
Hartman influence can be. Dolli-
yer is noisily progressive. and
quietly reactionary. Cullom is
honestly reactionary owing to his
age. Culberson is officially pro-
gressive, being a Texas democrat,
but the New York Sun indorses
him. Joseph Bailey, ditto.
In the uncertain class are some
men who may turn out to be good
progressives. Much was hoped of
Burkett, Nebraska, but he gives
symptoms of having been Aid
riched Old Knute Nelson is al
ways puzzle, Sometimes he
seems likely perfectly reliable
old Scandinavian; and then again
he doesn't.
Elihu Root ought to be a pro-
gressive, but will probably find it
incompatible with his previous
New York environment. Charley
Curtis, Kansas, might be displaced
by worse senator. Old Moses
Clapp is an enigma.
The new man from Indiana,
Benjamin F. Shively, has his rec
ord to make. The same is true of
Bradley, Kentucky. Clark, Ar

a little encouragement might make
him a good progressive. Jeff Davis

PRINCE RUPERT, Feb. IL
What is declared by Chief Engi-

Trunk Pacizc the largest and most
successful blast in the railway con-
struction work on that line west
of Montreal, and which proved a
most spectacular sight, was viewed
by 1000 people from the hilltops
when Foley, WEIGH G Stewards
contractors fired the several coy
ote" holes, or tunnels, bored under
the big rock bluff south of the
wharf, and moved $4,000 cubic
yards of rock. Most of this was
hurled or rolled into the barbor.
These coyote" holes had all
been crosscut, forming huge peck
cts, into which was loaded $4,000
pounds of explosives. The maya
zines were then connected by
wires with powerful galvanic bat
terry several hundred yards dis
tant so that all could be exploded
at once.
When the button was pressed
which fired the shot, there was a
violent trembling of the earth and
muffled roar; the snow covered
surface was rent asunder, and
amidst a cloud of smoke and dirt
the whole mass rose hundreds of
feet into the air and fell into the
sea.
1t is estimated that nearly $751;

CIintons Must Serve Sentence

The supreme court last week af-
frmed the decision of the circuit
court of the seventh judicial circuit
in the case of Edward and Buck Clin-
ton, charged with and convicted of
the burning of the Goodrich house at
Oak Hill many years ago. Edward
Clinton, the old man, will have to
serve two years, and Buck Clinton,
his son, will have to serve ten years
in the state penitentiary.
The history of the case is very in
teresting and shows how long one can
fight off conviction and sentence. if
he has money. The Clintons have
been tried four times on this charge
of arson-three times in Orange
county on change of venue and once
in Volusia county. They were convict
ed in Volusia county and twice con-
victed in Orange county. One of the
trials in Orange county resulted in a
mistrial. Three times has the case
been carried to the supreme court
and twice the verdict of the lower
court has been set aside by the su-
preme court. Unless the pardoning
board steps in and grants them par
don they will have to serve out the
sentence.
Edward Clinton is one of the par
ties charged with murderin the Pack
wood case of many years ago.
When they were first arrested for
this crime, the Clintons owned con-
siderable property around Oak Hill,
and large herd of cattle, all of
which has gone to attorneys and
court costs.

gown was of white velvet, elaborate
ly embroidered, and cost $500
nearly $4,000 of our money. This
gown could be worn but few times,
and the chemicals now used for
cleaning and refreshing fine fabrics
had not yet been discovered. She
had several other gowns at prices
varying from ESQ to G400, and her
aunt gave her 600 for "fans, bags
and garters."
Nine. de Verrue, who is not by
any means a prominent person in
history, had 500 dozen cambria
handkerchiefs and other things to
correspond, and this cambria, hand
woven, had no cotton intermixture.
And the men were as extravagant
as the women. Such a suit as was
required by the guest at a fashion
able wedding cost f600, and he
needed three of them. The most
inexpensive kind of black suit cost
f25 or ESQ, half a dozen hats at FL
apiece were none too many, and
gentleman ordinarily must possess
silk stockings. wooden stockings
and leather stockings and five or six
different kinds of boots, these be-
ing made necessary by the prevail
ing style of knee breeches. A man
of fashion could get along with six
summer and six winter suits at fl00
apiece. which does not include the
gold and silver buttons and the lace
And besides all this the barber and
wigmaker cost his lordship several
pounds a year. He might or might
not wear jewels, but diamond rings,
pins, jeweled sword hits, snuffboxes,
knee buckles and shoe buckles were
not uncommon. And as for lace.
men as well as women wore any
amount of that.
The fact is that wealth is much
more evenly distributed today than
it ever was before. One would have
to go into semibarbarous countries.
to find anybody living nowadays un-
der the conditions which the peas
ants of England and France lived
under while all this fine dressing
and dining went on. Abundance of
heat, light and hot and cold water
are the luxuries of today; facile
transportation, increased health and
vigor, increased comfort of daily liv-
ing. We spend our money on these
things instead of silk, velvet and
lace, and it pays better.

Extravaganza in Dress

We hear much about modern ex-

than 800 at the most and that
these suits served year after year.
Nothing of the kind.

What We Want to Do too

The following article, taken from
the DeSoto County News, suits the
conditions of the ordinary Florida
country weekly so well, in which
class The STAR Is included, that we
print it, asking the reader to men,
tally substitute the STAR instead of
the name of our esteemed contem-
porary:
>Ihe DeSoto County News is not
what we want to make it. We have
an equipment second to no weekly
paper in Florida or out of the state.
We except these papers issued from
shops that publish daily edition, or
have large printing establishment.
We employ the best printers and
workmen we can get, and pay them
every Saturday night the best wages
the business can afford. In nearly
three years we have not missed an
issue. although sorely tried at times
by difficulties known only to the
craft. And occasionally in spite of
our best efforts, we haze been late.
We do think we are worth postage
stamp week. The price of The News
is less than the two cents a week.
We appreciate the kind words ana
the measure Ofsupport already ours.
We are not complaining. We only
want to give our readers a better
paper. 1t costs money that we cannot
afford to keep paid agent in the
field all the time. Will not all Of our
friends come to our help. and enable
us to render still better service?
How? you may ask. First pay up,
if you are behind. The paper each
week shows the date to which you are
paid. Read the figures after your
name and start the dollar rolling
toward the News office. We mean if
you have it. Anyhow pay when you
can. Ask your neighbor or friend Wis
iting you to subscribe. Then we ask
for your ads, if you are in business
and have anything to buy or sell. Our
prices are reasonable. We would like
to have a share Of your job work.
We will make it to your interest to
patronize The News. Try us.

The Manatee Record declares for
James p. Taliaferro for senator. In
an editorial, giving reasons for max
ing the decision, Editor Walpole,
among others, makes this statement:
This is our reason for supporting
Senator Taliferro. He.has been there,
and is thoroughly acquainted with
the working of the national govern
ment. He holds ranking positions on
important committees, and, in the
opinion of the Record is in position
to do more and better service for his
state than any man in Florida. 1t
would be poor policy to make a
change of senator at this time. Surely
it would not be for the best interests
of the state, and there is much that
Florida needs of the national govern
ment." The Record has heretofore
been a staunch advocate for Broward.

A man buys a piece of land, clears
and plants it. By hard work he is
able to make a living and finally gets
a nice home. The assessor comes along
and assesses his house and five acres
at $500, on which he has to pay a tax
of $40 to SIT a year. Another man
buys five acres, slashes and cuts the
timber off, makes no improvements,
but takes away the heritage of a
thousand years. His five acres is as
sessed at $40 and he pays from 20 to
"a cents tax. Is this just? Is it right?
