On Friday last Governor Gilchrist
sent special message to the legis-
lature on the Wales claim. In the
opinion OF the Index, there was no
special reason for sending in mes
sage on this subject at this time, as
both branches of the legislature had
previously declined to favOrably con-
slider the Wales claim.
But the governors message. which
covered fifteen pages of closely type
written legsl-cap sheets. offered little
if anything new in regard to the his
tory or merits of the claim. An ex-
PLANTATION as TO why he thought the
$4,000 appropriated six years ago,
and a suggestion as to division be-
tween Wales and Beard, were in
cluded in the message; but these, too,
are intangible
In another message to the senate
on Monday, the governor, in referring
to the WALES claim message, stated
that certain newspapers of the state
had intimated. directly or indirectly,
that the legislature had repudiated
the states solemn obligation and
that. in order to have the people know
that the honor of the state is protect
ed. he had sent copies of the mes
sage to these newspapers for publica-
ton. but SO far they had refused to
do so.
The governor, in the opinion of the
Index, can not consistently feel ag-
grieved because this message has not
been printed. It's contents would MI
the columns of the average weekly
paper, to the utter exclusion OF all
other matter. and the larger papers,
| with sufficient space to carry the mes
sage, might easily be forgiven for de-
voting their columns to real, live
news matter. Besides. those neWspa-
perS that have taken the time and
trouble to examine into the merits OF
the WALES claim. may be pardOned

Because Mr.. Bryan has refused TO

whether he will be a candidate ecur
years hence which have been pro-
pounded to him by newspapers and in

it has been assumed, rather eagerly.
we think, that he is planning TO be
candidate again in 1912. But as a
matter of fact neither he nor any Oh

Democratic ranks are doing anything
of the kind On the contrary, the

message, especially after considering
the able and exhaustive report sub
mitted by the senate committee OF
1903. and reported TO the senate over
the signature of wv. A. BlOunt, Acting
Chairman"
So far as the Index knows, the
present legislature has not been
charged with -repudiating the obli8aa
lions of the state. but it eau not be
denied that as long as Colonel WALES
is denied the right to have his claim
adjudicated by the courts of the state
the conclusion is inevitably forced
1upou the Index. and other newspapers
of the state, and the people of Flor
ida generally, that the Legislature,
though not repudiating the claim, is
creating a condition with similar re-
suits.
No better argument has been of
fered in support of the effort OF
Colonel Wales friends to get this
claim into the courts Of the state
than is contained in the governor
message itself This document, from
beginning to end, is a mass OF acts,
contracts, resolutions, accounts, opin-
ions. guesses. conclusions and other
more mystifying and confusing mat

The Trolly Sprinkler
Seems a Good Device.

Here is some useful information
clipped from the Jacksonville Me-
tropolis which The Journal presents
to the consideration of the city au-
thorities of Pensacola:
From FL Paso. Tex, which has a
population of $4,000, the city clerk re-
ports that the city and the street rail-
way company jointly purchased a
large SpTinkling car, costing $4,000
The street railway company furnishes
the electricity and two men to OPP
crate the car, while the city furnishes
the water supply. We are told that
this car spTinkles eight miles of
streets, and that il makes from four
TO six trips a day, as necessity de-
mands. The average cost of water is
$3.50 per month. and the car does the
work of six wagon sprinklers, each
costing $3.50 q day, plus the amount
of water used. The car is so con-
structed that it can sprinkle a street
100 feet wide evenly and with the
utmost economy. as the man at the
valves has perfect control of the
amount of water placed upon the
streets.
The Board OF Public Works of
Grand Rapids, Mich, has prepared
figures showing that the average cost
of sprinkling a mile of street by troll
lev is 10 cents and by wagon so
cents. A report from New Bedford,
Mass, says a trolley sprinkler was
operated there last season through
twenty four miles of streets at a to-

Reapportionment Impos-
sible: Call the Convention.

Several of the state papers, among
them such good reasoners as the
Tampa Tribune. the Jacksonville
Times-Union and the Punta GOTda
Herald, take the stand that a consti-
tutionaI convention called on the
present basis of representation would
prove an abortive body-one not
properly representing the people OF
the state by counties.
These papers demand legislative re-
apportionment. before calling the con-
vention, claiming that that would rec
tify the evil and secure an efficient
and just convention. But this reason
ing is not backed up by conditions,
as is very easy to be shown
So long as the number of repre-
sentatives is limited to sixty eight by
the constitution and so long as each
county must have one representative
and no county can have more than
three under a provision of the same
instrument, it is perfectly clear that
an apportionment based, as it should
be, on population is entirely out Of the
question.
The merest tyro in mathematics
can see this. And reapportionment,
however figured out, would make but
little Improvement over present con-
| ditions. One county with only 1900
population would still have one mem
| Der, and in that case 5000 would be
the basis of representation. Another
county with $4,000 population would
still be confined to three members
and this would make 10000 the basis
! of representation.
These are two extremes, to be sure
but a decided inequality would be
bound to exist throughout all inter
mediate counties.
The convention should be called al
once-with or without reapportion-
1 ment-and the people be credited with
enough judgment and patriotism to
elect to it men qualified for the trans
action of business of such great i'm
| portance, and who would be big
| enough and broad enough TO lay aside
small local issues and selfish consid-
erations and act for the welfare OF
the whole state.
The Journal believes the people are
sufficiently alive TO their own interests
TO make such selections, and it urges
the legislature to pass the joint reso-
Tuition calling for a revision of the
! constitution which has been favorably
reported by the committee of the
/ senate.
This would be a browning act OF
Righteousness before adjournment and
would win for the lawmakers of Flor
ida the thanks and admiration of the
! entire state.

ADVICE TO ENEMIES
OF VIM. j. BRYAN,

New Orleans States.

There is a certain class of news
papers in the South that followed the
bolt of Grover Cleveland and his
friends from the Democratic party in
1896. and ever since that time have
engaged in an effort to eliminate"
William ]. Bryan by means of per-
soHal abuse and attack. Some of the
editors and prOpTietors of these pa
perS neld Office under Mr. Cleveland,
hence they regard the leadership of
Mr. Bryan as little less than a crime,
and all of them are now busy at
work eliminating" the Nebraskan.
If he Is to be kept of the track. "
says the Norfolk ViFginisn-Pilot, the
work must be done now or not at all. s.
The Montgomery Advertiser. whose
editor or proprietor was appointed
postmaster, or to some other political
Job when Cleveland was president,
agrees with the Norfolk paper
While il may be premature to set
about electing a candidate" it says,
" it is not too early 10 begin the
work Of elimination. II should not
only be begun, but should be carried
on without any letting up-at least
as long as there is even possibility
that Mr.. Bryan viii be in the way.
Those who imagine that he has no
desire TO obtain the nomination again
are either very unobseTvaBt or else
know little of the man. He is jus.
as much a candidate now as he was AT
any previous time. and is laying his
plans as he did before"
