FLORIDA SPRINGTIME

The sun is shining brightly,
Crystal waters flowing sprightly,
And the swallows gliding lightly
Thorough the perfume-laden air.
All the birds are singing sweetly,
Tiny buds peep forth discreetly,
And the squirrels gambol fleetly
Everywhere.
The mOckingbird is singing,
Ills sweet notes with gladnes ringing
Like the gusb of waters springing
From their moss-bound. hidden
lair.
Sets my pulses all a-tingle,
And | long to go and mingle
With the wood folk where they jingle
Sweet and clear.
On. to lie down by the river.
uust TO watch the alders culver,
And to see the pOplars shiver
In the breeze.
To hear old Bob White" calling,
lust to see the lizards crawling,
And to hear the "catbirds" squalline
'MOngst the trees.
In the woods where life is teeming.
Where the sunlight's brightly beam

There to dream and see in dreaming
Visions fair.

Tho of earth, thou art a heaven
Whence the Storm King" has been

INSTABILITY to the mails of President
Roosevelt's homes commission re-
port, declares in a statement that the
viciousness of the work staggers him.
He says it is too vile to discuss on
the floor of the senate, and is conf
dent that it is too obscene to trans
NIT through the mails. The report is
bound in book and covers nearly our
hundred pages.
A Story of Vice
1t discusses in plain English every
form of vice and immortality known OF
in the District of Columbia, and some
of it's disclosures are as startling as
they are sensational.
The report was sent to the senate
yesterday, and although hundreds OF
copies have been printed it is rrac-
tically impossible to obtain a copy, so
great has been the demand for them.
Among the many matters discussed
in the homes commission report, soft
drinks sold at soda fountains are
prominently mentioned, and held up
as harmful to the health of the people.
A hundred or more manufacturers
are designated by name, and their
syrups are mentioned as containing
caffein and other so-called habit-form-
ing drugs.
"The first appearance of prepare
tons of this type was in the SOUTH"
says the report, "and the demand had
spread to other sections. The great
est demand is still in the south, how
ever"

When you want public cause serv

No newspaper complains of that
Public service is one of the newspa-
per's reasons for existence. In pro-
portion to the great public service il
renders, it thrives-usually.
Sometimes it loses, in purse, by rea-
son of doing what it believes is for
the general good But it is expected,
win or lose, to serve the public's in
terest, its own being secondary.
John Wanamaker has given us a
new idea-the idea that a great COM
mercial institution should assume its
share of public obligations as well as
a newspaper or an individual"
Of course the famous merchant has
to use the newspaper in order to per
form this service, but the fact that
he recognizes his obligation and pays
the freight makes him a shining ex-
ample to others Of his calling.
Thus in a recent number of the
Philadelphia North American we find
as a part of the Wanamaker page ad-
vertisement, and editorial entitled.
What's the Matter With the United
States?" 1t is an utterance that would
do highest credit to any American ed
ltorial page.
Wanamaker has long since learned
the wisdom of employing the verv

arrived in the city by the Mauna Loa
this morning from Kona. He came
down on a hurried business visit and
will depart again by the same steamer
next Tuesday for his plantation on
Hawaii. THE yield of tobacco is good
and the quality is excellent reported
DR.. Smith this morning. Our speciality
is wrapper leaf of light color. and in
that we are scoring the greatest sue
cess. The present crop is now being
taken care of any will be ready for
market in about four months"
DR.. Smith seemed very positive OF
the success of his tobacco venture. the
quality of tobacco produced has come
fully up to expectations and the prices
