Wireless Communication With YES
SeIs Along Florida Coast Has
Been Cut Of.

Tampa, Fla.-With communication
with all points south of here cut of,
wireless stations out Of commission
and the increasing danger of the inter
ruption of communication with the en-
tire world, Tampa and all that terri
tory between Tampa and the Florida
Keys is being storm swept. 1t is I'M
possible at this hour to estimate the
damage, no reports having been re-
ceived from nearby towns.
With a steady gale blowing seaword
at the rate of fifty miles an hour, and
increasing in intensity every moment,
the tide in the bay is lower than ex-
listing records show. Many small craft
anchored in the vicinity of the Tampa
Bay Hotel are stranded, and a few
pleasure craft are lying on their sides
with more or less damage. The storm
has blown the water out Of the bay,
causing a tide at least seven feet be-
low low water.
Chief alarm is felt in the damage to
fruit and truck in the section between
here and Punta GOrda and further in
land. Indications at a late hour are

This means that it will spend itself

Grave fears are entertained here for
the safety of forty-six members of the

encamped at EgmOnt Key. Consider
able fear is also entertained for resi-
dents at Passe-A-Grille, a ~year-round
resort on the bay. There are at least
fifty persons at that point, where, it
is believed, the full force of the dis.
turbance will be felt.
Fortunately, the foul days warning

WANT-A square DEAL "
Claim Langham Is Entitled to Second
Term Why?

Some of the newspapers that are
supporting Hon. j. N. Langham for
second term for congress talk of a
square deal in politics" and that
"Langham should receive, without a
contest, that to which he is clearly
entitled" Just sol Major Beale repre-
sented this district one term In Con-
gress, and was just as good repre-
sentative as j. N. Langham, and If
accorded square deal in politics"
Major Bea'e should have been given
the nomination two years ago without
a contest because he was "clearly en-
Titled" to 1t, but did Mr.. Laugham and
his friends take that into consideration,
and give the Major square deal?"
Not much, Mary Ann. Langham
wanted to go to Congress and the
just claims Of another man we're not
considered at all. Langham and his
henchmen ruthlessly tore down the
CLEARLY entitled" fences two years ago
and Gen. Harry White has gotten into
field and is now giving the congress
man from this district hustle for the
Republican nomination for congress.
AS Mr.. Langham was one of the
principal actors in destroying the two
term custom in this district, he is no
more entitled to the nomination this
time than any other-man, and when
the voters of this district are given
an opportunity of nominating better
man than Langham, thec we say they
should do so and for that reason Gen.
Harry White is being boosted by old
soldiers, young soldiers and other men
who want him to be the next congress-
man from the 9th district.

The County Institute.

County Superintendent Jones an
nounces in the papers of the county
his intention of holding the annual
institute in Reyuoldsville this year,
breaking the time honored custom OF
taking the institute to the county seat.
One OF the reasons for the change is
the fact that there is no accom-.
mediation at Brookyille in the way OF
a suitable place to hold the sessions
and entertainments. Reynoldsville is
getting the institute because the
business men of that town went after
1t and they guaranteed the proper in.
ducements of looking after the COM
forts and needs OF the patrons of the
meeting. The Record believes that
Superintendent Jones is taking the
proper course in the matter, and he
is deserving of commentator rather
than censure fer his action. We be-.
lieve that the county institute should
be passed around to the towns In the
county that would be willing to &C.
commodate the needs of the patrons,
and now that the time worn precedent
is broken, it is hoped that the
superintendent In charge will give
the passing around idea fair test

Admiration alone will not run news

will find that the object Of their affec-
tions has become welded to other ways
that they do not admire-in other
words, newspaper is compelled in
\ order to live, to seek the friendship Of
hose who are not 80 platonic In their
bve, but unite that practical esteem
with sentiment that binds mutual ad-
miration to other professions. There
are too many men who expect an editor
to slave 10 defense OF their pet notions

against the strongest opposition, and
cody withhold business support by
which alone small newspaper can live.
