BURR's UBIQUITOUS BILL

Unnder an act passed by the last
legislature, which has just gone int
effect, railroads are notifying news
papers with which they have advertis.
ing contracts, on the basis of an *.
change of transportation therefor
that such contracts will have to be
cancelled, says the Tampa Tribune.
The result will be that the railroads
will greatly reduce their advertising
in Florida papers and the loss viii
fall heaviest on the small weekly pa
pers, which cannot obtain such ad-
vertising on a cash basis.
So far as the large papers are COZ
cerned, the exchange proposition was
merely a matter of convenience, but.
with the smaller ones, it will mean a
total of business in this particular
Whenever some smart fellow, who
happens to be elected a member of
the legislature, starts in to reform
things, he generally succeeds in i'm
posing an unnecessary burden Oh
those least able to bear it, and then
flatters himself that he has done
something for the people"
This bit of legislation lacked the
merits of a blow to the free pass evil,
because there have been no newspa-
per free passes in the state for sew
eral years. The system which this
law stops simply caused the railroads
to be bit more liberal in their nd
vertising, because they could pay for
the same in transportation. Now they
will have to pay cash, and they will
reduce their advertising, it is belieT-
ed, fully one-half.
The loss falls on the country news
paper, which struggles along in an eff
fort to build up it's town and county.

OUR UNITED STATES SENATORS

For those cities concerned, Florida
has a very nice arrangement in the
selection of her United States sena-
tors. One is selected from Jackson
vile and the other from Pensacola.
This arrangement has been going on
ever since Senator Call was first Sc
lected from Jacksonville and Senator
Jones from Pensacola, except during
the time Senator Pasco occupied a
seat in that body, and as long as the
balance of the state does not object
to it We suppose the arrangement will
continue.
As long as unequal freight rates are
imposed upon the interior and in
favor of the seaport cities, we think
that it is high time that the interior
portion of the country should see to
it that it has its friends in the SEN
ate.
Then, too, see the enormous appro-
priations that are annually made for
the Improvement Of the rivers and
harbors, but what is being done for
the Improvement of the highways of
the interior?
1t is said that the Lord helps those
who help themselves, and as long as
the interior sits idly down and holds
its hands it need not expect the
crumbs to naturally fall into them.
Let's start the ball rolling in select
against freight determinations, and
in favor of government aid to nation
al highways!
Let's stare the ball rolling in select
ing representative from the interior
as our next United States senator.

THE HANDWRITING ON THE
WALL

Thirteen months ago the Hon. viii
liam Jennings Bryan of Lincoln, Neb.
announced that he had taken com
mand of the democratic party in
Pennsylvania and that Col. James NJ
Guffey was to have nothing more to
do with it. The colonel was placed in
the index expurgatorious and it was
question whether he ought 20 be
permitted even to vote the democrat
ic ticket. 1t didn't matter that he
had majority of the delegation to
the Denver convention with him; that
was easily disposed of by the simple
process of having the committee on
credentials throw out sufficient num-
Der of Guffey men and put Bryan men
in their places. 1t was done and the
colonel was omitted from his familiar
seat in the national committee from
which he had financed democratic
campaigns and at least one stained
glass window.
Yesterday at Harrisburg, Col. Cuff
fey, restored some time ago to the ma
tional committee by the state commit
tee, regardless of Mr.. Bryan's views
on the subject, ran the democratic
state convention as easily as if there
never had been big wind from out
of Nebraska or if Bryan had not said
that there wasn't room for him in the
democratic party. Notwithstanding
Bryan, the colonel's grip on the DEM
ocracy of Pennsylvania wasn't loos.
ened for minute and the convention
of the party met at the state capital
for no other purpose than to ratify
the program which he had prepared
for 1t.
The story of the ratification will be
found in our news columns and in the
news columns of every daily paper in
the United States, including those
published at Lincoln, Neb. 1t won't
be necessary to send marked copies to
Mr.. Bryan, for he will have word of
all that has happened.-Pittsbur

MAKING LIFE WORTH WHILE

From the following letter, written
by Hon. William Bailey Lamar, a for
mer member of congress from Fl.r
ida, and late a candidate for a sea:
in the United States senate, it will be
seen that he is not grieving over his
defeat to hurt, but on the contrary is
making the most of life.
The letter is written from MonticsI !,
10 to Editor Chas. H. Walton of the
Florida East Coast Gazette.
Mr.. Lamar says:
Il read the description of your faA
home, and hope you will enjoy IT'S
comfort and elegance. While | pre-
fer this section, yet there is some
thing fascinating about the tropical
appearance and growth Of your Sec
ton. nope some time TO meet you

pleasure our past associations.
MY wife and 1 are planning a nice
home in Washington City. In March
last, before leaving there, my wife
bought lot on the Avenue of tho
Presidents formerly 10th street. This
lot is 81 feet front on that aveure.
and is 100 feet deep, to a Is foot alley.
She paid $4,000 for the lot. We hope
to begin building on it next spring.

A TWENTY-DoLLAR BILL

Speaking of hard times, the first
caller we had this week asked us to
change a ten-dollar bill, and the Sec
ond called paid us the compliment of
asking us to change a twenty-dollar
bill. We are glad to see these bills
floating around, but about the only
way we could change a twenty these
days is for the customer to trade
about $3.50 with us. But should YOU
want to leave some money with us,
We have a friend who has a friend
who knows a gentleman who has a
friend who can change the bills, and
in such cases our friends friends ac-
quaintance's friend is always ready
to accommodate those who wish mon
ey changed.-Lavonia (Ga.) Times.

MACON IN CUBA

The Cuban Opinion is the name oil
bi-monthiy publication printed in
Havana. In speaking of the admins
tration of Governor Magoon the Opin
ion says:
The late provisional administra.
ton Of the United States in Cuba
made itself famous for the large mum.
Der of contracts of all sorts into which
1t entered, especially with American
contractors, for the construction OF
high-roads, bridges, aqueducts and for
other public Improvements. Many of
these contracts were made in the
most informal, not 20 say immoral,
manner and gave rise to much scan
dal and to the complete discredit of
the provisional administration. They
cost the Cuban treasury vast sums,
and it is the general impression that
in many cases the execution of the
works has been very deficient.
No better proof of these assertions
could be found than the following Of
ficila and most startling statement
contained in the minutes of the ses-
sion of President Gomez's cabinet
held on June 1909, which, as usual,
were given out to the newspapers for
publication. (See, for instance, La
Discussion of that date): Some con-
tracts have been spontaneously re-
scinded by the foreign contractors
themselves, because they were formu-
lated reckoning with certain favorit-
ism and certain tolerances, to which
the government of the republic can
not consent, because they-the con-
tracts-are based on profound imElor-
alities."
Other contracts of the provisional
administration, to all appearances
just as profoundly immoral as those
to which reference is here made, have
been recognized by the Cuban govern
ment, such as the contracts for the
sewering and paving of the cities of
Havana and Cienfuegos, because
there is no way of resembling them
without producing International diff
culties of a serious and complicated
nature.
But the American public should
know that these are the sort of con-
tracts which are creating embarrass-
ment of a political and financial ma
ture to the new Cuban administration.
and that the best energies of the gov
eminent at Washington are at pres
ent devoted to sustaining these CUES
transactions.

ENORMOUS OUTLAY ON RAIL
WAY TIES

] During the year 1908, the steam
land electric railroads of the United
States purchased more than 112,OOO,-
600 crossties, costing at the point oil
purchase over S56,OOOOOO, an average
of so cents per tie. This was some
40. OOO. 900 ties less than the quantity
purchased in 1907, when the total was
approximately 153,O0O,00O, the high
est ever recorded. The decreased Pur-
chases in 1907 were chiefly due to the
business depression which affected ev-
cry line of industry. In 1908 only T.
431, 900 crossties were reported as pur-
chased for new track, as against 3d.
$500 in 1907. OF the total number
of ties purchased for all purposes, the
steam roads took approximately "a
per cent, leaving about 6 per cent.
for the electric roads.
1t is interesting to note the wide
range of woods used for the crOssties.
The oak ties amounted to more than
100000, or 43 per cent. of the total
quantity purchased. Next to those
ranked the southern yellow pines,
with 100000, or 10 per cent. of the
total. Cedar and chestnut supplied
more than 100000 ties each, and the
Douglass fir nearly as much. About
100000 tamarack ties were purchas-
ed, nearly 100000 cypress ties, and,
in round numbers, 100000 each of
western pine and hemlock. Redwood,
white pine, longpole, pine, gum, beech,
spruce and several other woods were
used in smaller quantities.

THE BAD HABIT OF BOOSTERS

One neighbor in Jacksonville re-
Gently had big fuss with another
tneighbor, not because his chickens in.
yaded his garden and played havoc
with it, but because his roosters had
the bad habit of growing in the early
morning hours and disturbing the
slumbers of himself and his board
ers. So, one morning about four
o'clock, in a fit of evaporation, he
dresses himself hurriedly and goes
over to his neighbours, rings the door
bell vigorously and rudely awakenS
him from his slumbers, and because
the man with the roosters resents be-
hour and for such purpose, the man
with the unStrung nerves assaults him
with foul language, and in his anger
breaks the glass door to his handsome
home. The distinguished dispenser
of the law holds that the keeping of
growing rOosters is an offense and a
justification for an assault with words
and even to the rude awakening at
the hour of four in the morning, but
is not justification enough for the
breaking of a glass door,
Since Peter betrayed Christ, and
perhaps long time before that time,
ROSTERS contracted the growing hab-
it, and especially so, along about the
midnight and daylight hours, but
since chicken pillau, chicken pie,
smothered chicken, stewed chicken
and fried chicken have appealed so
strongly to men who have an appe-
tite to crafty, we did not know that it
was an offense to raise chickens in
city, town or country! We have it
from the bench now, however, that it
is an offense to raise chickens, and if
BOOSTERS crow it is justification
enough to assault with words, but not
justification enough for an offended
neighbor to break a glass door.
We are glad that there are judicial
to the lengths an offended
neighbor may go.
Will some scientist teach ROSTERS
not to crow!
