CARAVAN BREADMAKING.
Afshans use cobblestones, While Tur-
comans Like Sand.


The bread Of the Afghan caravan
was cooked by heating small round
cobblestones In the fire and then polk
ing them out and wrapping dough al
inch thick about them. The balls thus
formed were again thrown into the
fire, to be poked out again when cook
ed. The bread tasted we'll there in the
desert, although In civilized communi-
ties the grit and ashes would have
seemed uncomfortable.
After good fellowship had been es-
tablished the Afghans actually sold us
some flour, says writer in the Ma
tonal Geographical Magazine. The
camp where we used it a little later
happened to be beside the sandy bed
Of trickling salt stream, which was
drinkable In winter, but absolutely un-
disable in summer. when evaporation
is at its height and the salt is concen-
trated.
"See," said one Of our Turcomans
as we dismounted; "here Is some sand.
Tonight we can have some good
bread"
When some dry twigs had been gath
cred he proceeded to smooth off a bit
Of the cleanest sand and built upon 1t
hot fire. When the sand was thor
oughly hot he raked of most Of the
Goals and smoothed the sand very neat
ly. Meanwhile one Of the other men
had made two large sheets Of dough
about three-quarters Of an inch thick
and eighteen inches in diameter. Be
tween these he placed layer Of Jumps
Of sleeps tail fat, making q huge
round sandwich. This was now spread
on the hot sand, Goals mixed with sand
were placed completely over it, and it
was left to bake. Now and then an
edge was uncovered, and Turcoman
smelled it approximately and raped
on it to see If 1t was yet cooked.
When the top was thoroughly baked
the bread was turned over and covered
up again. 1t tasted even better than
the Afghan bread after 1t was cooled
a little and the sand and ashes had
been whisked off with girdle. Tbs
Turcomans are SO accustomed to life
In the sandy desert that they think It
to make the best kind of
bread without sand, while the AZ
ghans, who live in the stony noun
tains, think that cobblestones are
requisite.

DO MAJORITIES RULE?

Speaker Cannon in the light of events
has probably modified his recently ex-
pressed opinion that everything de-
ponds on the right of the majority 10
rule"
"Rule" and ruled" are strong words
in the mouth of an American official
Majorities do not rule and minorities
are not ruled in this country. MajoritieS
initiate; minorities modify-that is a
truer statement of the relation they bear
each other. Majorities are minorities
grown large and reckless and drunk with
power. Maiorities are made up of a
core OF sincerity and a thick rind of
those who like to be in at the winning.
Minorities, on the other hand, more
frequently are all principle and sincerity,
else why or how should they exist
The fact is, minorities rule. Major
tiles seem TO rule, but there appears TO
be natural antipathy between MAORI
ties and moral purpose. There is sense
in which success is the worst thing that
can befall political party. History has
never yet presented us with the spec
tacle OF party that could Withstand
prosperity. Hence maiorities are always
stepping down, and minoritics are al
ways coming 10 rule. The minority
rules. II is coming to fuller rule. And
when it shall have become majority,
its fate is just as surely decreed as was
that of preceding majorities.
II Speaker Cannon were a statesman
and not a mere official, he would be
afraid FOR the majority and afraid OF
the minority. The minority are not sub
iugated, they are simply outnumbered.
Your Uncle Joe has had some recent ex-
amples OF this, and it is likely that even
he is now opening hin eyes.
Minorities are har. solid muscle,
bound to win, whi1S majorities are
quickly becoming thick, heavy, fat,
given to luxury.

The Jacksonville Metropolis wants an
amendment to the anti-pass law which
will permit railroads to give passes in
exchange for advertising The Palatka

money. 1t has never done a bartering
business, except with the railroads, and
under the new law it now sells even
this class OF customers for cash. Laws,
however, should only be made 10 pro-

wrong in the barter plan advocated by

VIII Need the Money

The DeLand Record is of the opinion
that Broward is making too much mon
ey in the Everglades to care much about
the senatorial campaign. 1t takes a lol
of this very same article to elect man
under the primary system and the man
who has not got it has no more chance
OF being elected 10 state office than a
two year old child would have of living
long and happily after chucking a rattle
snake under the chin. The legitimate
and essential expenses of making state
canvass are large and the fact that the
Ex-Governor has plenty of money will
make him that much more formidable,
and consequently more eager to enter
the lists actively.-PenSacola News.

II would seem TO be wholly unneces
sary that the Palatka News should again
reiterate the assurance OF its distinguish.
ed consideration for Mr.. George B. Sci.
den, the popular and aggressive preSi.
dent OF the Palatka board of trade, but
in doing so il cannot refrain from calling
that gentleman's attention TO the fact
that he has been guilty, in inverse form,
of the same fault which he so properly
condemns in others. The News refers
TO that portion of Mr.. Selden's inaugural
address to the board of trade, exclusive
published in this paper last week in the
which he condemns the ''local press"
for publishing the mouthingS of our
chronic kickerS under nom de plume
signatures. AS the News has never re-
sorted to that method of voicing dis
approval of public measures or work,
and as Mr.. Selden is well aware OF the
fact, the unfairneSS of his charge is ap-
parent. The nom de plume kicker is
one who fights from ambush, man who
is afraid TO come out in the open, state
his grievance and stand or fall by reason
of his action. The president of the Pa
latka board of trade had a grievance
against ONE newspaper, and because of
that grievance must needs condemn the
innocent as well as the guilty under the
general name of the local press" In
order to be just Mr.. Selden should have
been more specific. In this one in
sisnce enly has he "bored" us.

R. H. Owen, a white man convicted
OF murder, was hung in AIachua county
last Friday. He profeSSed his innocence
OF murder to the last, but left an ante
mortem confession, TO be made public
after the ceremony, TO the effect that
some years ago he had murdered a wo-
man in Louisiana by cutting her throat,
and for which crime he was never ap-
pretended. Owen makes the fourth
white man hung for murder in Florida
since the Inauguration of Governor Gil
christ, showing that under his wise ad-
ministration the strainer through which
the equality of mercy" passes has small
er openings, and that murder most foul,
as in the best it is" will no longer go
without extreme punishment in Florida.

II our political institutions were per
feet they would absolutely prevent the
political domination Of money in any
part Of our affairs. We need to make
our poAical representatives more
quickly and sensltively responsive to
the people whose servants they are.
More direct action by the people in
their own affairs under proper safe
guards is vitality necessary. The d.
rect primary is a step In this direction
II 1t is associated with a corrupt prac-
tees act effective to prevent the adj
vantage Of the man willing recklessly

IL Is particularly important that all
moneys received or expended for cam
paign purposes should be publicly ac-
counted for not only after election.
Political action must be made sim
pier. easier and freer from confusion
for every citizen. / believe that the
prompt removal OF unfaithful or in
competent public servants should be
made easy and sure In whatever way
experience shall show to be most ex-
pedient in any given class of cases.
One Of the fundamental necessities
In representative government such
as ours is to make certain that the
men to whom the people delegate their
power shall serve the people by whom
they are elected and not the special
interests.
The object Of government is the vel
fare OF the people. The material prog
ress and prosperity Of nation are de-
sirable chiefly so far as they lead to
the moral and material welfare Of all
good citizens. Just In proportion as
the average man and woman are hon
est, capable Of sound judgment and
high ideals, active In public affairs
but first Of all sound In their home life
and the father and mother OF healthy
children-just so far and no farther
we may count our civilization a sue
cess.
We must have-I believe we have
already-a genuine and permanent
moral awakening. without which no
wisdom OF legislation or admlnistra-
ton really means anything. And. on
the other hand. we must try to secure
the social and economic legislation
without which any Improvement due
to purely moral agitation is necessari-
ly evanescent
What we need are good citizens. !
Good citizenship means progress. and
therefore all good citizens should stand !
for progress and must be progressive.
