by working earnestly and harmOniOusly
together that something Of real value
can be accomplished in the direction OF

roads being built all around US; there
are enterprises and industries looking

looking orr way. Let each and every

Florida accents Nr. Taft's olive
branch with eaEeFnens and perhaps
with misunderstanding. The president
wants peace between the sections. He
wants 20 develop the Republican party
IN the South. when be runs again IN
1912 be wants 70 carry a few Southern
States. With these aims in view he
has expressed opinions on tire subject Of
restricting the suffrage which haye pro-
duced an impression that be Is iH favor
Of suppresSng the negro vote. He has
agreed not TO appoint colored men to
office against the wishes Of the whites.
In most places this attitude has been
accepted merely as a manifestation Of
goodwill, bat Florida's warm, sub
tropical blood has become feverish and
It Is conducting itself in a fashion that
Is likely 20 cause trouble. One branch
OF the legislature has passed and an
other now has under consideration an
amendment to the State constitution
that az the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments to the National
Consultation were illegally adopted they
are null and void, and that on and after
a date not yet fixed only white persons
shall have the right to vote in that
commonwealth.
This proposition will shock many peo-
pie, but it will cause greater eonsterna-
ton at the White House than anywhere
else. OF all things that the amiable and
Mr.. Taft would avoid at the
opening Of the golf season we may be
sure that formal notification Of the war
amendments stands at the lead of the
list. If the negro is to be dropped let
{ be done quietly. Cannot the Demo-
rats OF the South accept an invitation
o the Republican mansion without
'reakIng the mirrors? Are they such
yros in political fnesse as not to know

We ADMIRE HIS INDEPENDENCE.

urday here and was warmly greeted by
his many warm friends He was called
10 Tampa in the u. s. Court, where he
appeared as attorney in an important
case, after which he left Saturday night
FOR Tallahassee 10 be present at the
opening OF the senate Monday Senator
Dayton Is making a fine record, and the
entire 9Th senatorial district is Justly
proud OF his record, -Dsde City Star,
After an event IN the senate last
week The True Democrat has a more
exalted opinion of the ability and indie
pendent spirit Of Mr.. Dayton than ever.
He considered himself censured because
he used a railroad pass, and arising 10 a
question Of personal privilege, practi-
cally said; IL am a railroad attorney,
and accept railroad transportation be-
cause It IL my privilege under the law.
For my conduct | am responsible solely
TO my constituents; they elected me
knowing me 10 be a railroad attorney
and holding pass, that being an issue
against me. consider that am an
official Of the road and entitled to it's
privileges, and past legislative enact
ments do not apply TO my case. pro-
pose 10 use this transportation as long
ss J am attorney for the road"
There are some legislators, but for
tunately they are becoming fewer In |
number each year, who think Il their
bounden duty to oppose everything in |
which the railroad hgures The rail- |
roads are the heaviest taxpayers in |
any progressive State. and from every |
sense Of justice and right are entitled
10 representation in proportion to their
assessed taxation. Every interest
should have It's own right Of represen-
tation. and the man who would deny It
Is unfair and unjust.
The country 10 incidentally indebted
10 bold, independent, progressive, pub
lie spirited men like Senator Dayton.
