shouId receive as its share a greater
amount in shipments for long than in
SHIPMENTS for a short distance. Its ser

collection and delivery, and it assumes
responsibility for the goods in transit
and the risk of loss is greater in long

charges are SO high that an inquiry IS
in order.
Although the power to regulate ex-

nothing has yet been accomplished, ana

Talking about an income tax, Natal is
contemplating a fine scheme. The plan
is to tax all incomes of 81 200 or more
the rate increasing above $3.50, but to
tax all incomes of bachelors and child
less widowers of $3.50 or more at the
rate of sixpence on the pound. 1t may
be a question. however. whether the
system would the more increase revenue

A most absurd notion regarding Hal
iey's comet was advanced last week by a
contributor to a local weekly. He de-
clares that the head of the comet is
sphere of gas and that when it passes
between the sun and earth it will con-
centrate on the globe a beam of intense
solar heat. Well, if this gifted nature
faker is right concerning the shape of
the comets head, he may have miscal-
culated the distance from the lens at
which the solar rays will come to focus
The gases issuing from the solid ma
teria1 in comets head are said to be in
such violent commotion that the form of
the envelope which they constitute is
not only extremely irregular. but is
changing from moment to moment. Be-
sides, the tail of a comet always points
directly away from the sun Hence, a
vaporous veil several million miles long
will be interposed between the head Of
Halleys comet and the globe when thew
come in line with the sun.

Royce Forbush Hanaford and Terry

United States on foot, called at The
Journal office last night. These two
young men left New York on May 90,
empty in pocket, to study human ma

they have walked a distance of 1883
miles, arriving here at LOO o'clock
Yesterday afternoon from Milton.
having covered the twenty miles in
five hours and twenty minutes.
We intend said Hanaford. Ito
cover every state in the union, and
expect to finish our walk in about
three years, which will make a total
distance Of 10000 miles or more. We
are being royalty entertained here by
the management of the San Carlos
hotel, and were given the freedom OF
your city, as we have in every other
city and town we have been in. On
our walk we will not accept cent of
money, but are depending on the good
nature Of the people for our living and
intend TO end our walk just as We
started, penniless.
I'VE have laid just claim to the
amateur pedestrian championship OF
the world, as we are not only good
walkers, but also carry a burden o:
twenty-five pounds on our backs
Since we started We have been the
guests Of all classes Of people, from
the hotel managers to the moons ineg
OF Kentucky, and have gained about
fifteen pounds in our weight

their trip over the country. Here are
a few paragraphs from it:

Why such a Journey? To encour-
age walking and outdoor life; TO
prove that human nature is generous
and always willing to encourage the
other fellow if approached in the right
way; to spread the doctrine OF sooi
cheer: to continue our studies III the
school of applied human good nature
and to gain material for an instructive
book and an interesting theatrical
sketch.
When did we leave New York:
May 23d, 1910. 2:30 p. NJ.
Where do we expect to go? We
shall not return to New York until We
have visited every state in the union
and every foreign possession, an esti-
mated distance of 10000 miles, in
about three years.
How do we manage TO do 1t! AS

We expect to put on theatrical

VOTE,

Panama City has such an enthus-

formed Blount Club to get out full
vote for him. In speaking of the club
the Panama City Pilot says:
A Blount Club is being formed here.
His friends are not satisfied to re-
main passive in this campaign, so
have organized a club. that a more
united effort may be made to secure
Mr.. Blount's nomination IN the prim-
airy. There does not appear to be
the least opposition to his candidacy
in this section of the country, but
without an effort being made. there
will not be full vote at the primary
either here or elsewhere. The sena-
torial campaign does not appear to
be attracting but very little attention
anywhere in the state. Owing to the
ease of securing full vote in the
large cities, the cities will probably
show 4 larger vote in the primaries
than will be shown in the country
districts. and will withou. doubt il
the matter be thus settled. decide as
to who will be the next senator from
Florida. So little interest is being
shown In some portions OF the sta; I.
that no primary will be neld in such
sections. This is unfortunate, as il
there is not a general volcinE Of the
electorate as to their choice for sena-
tor, it may be claimed that the legis-
lature is not bound by a possible
small majority Of the party, and it
will proceed under its lawful rights
to elect a senator regardless of the
decision in the primaries.
