The chap book contained most OF
the IA miliar nursery rhymes and sto-
ries which have appertained to nursery
lore for generations. They exhibit
very crude woodcuts. often daubed
with inappropriate color. and the COM
monest paper as a rule was used. They
were hawked about by the chapman or
pedd!er and cost only a few pence
apiece.
They served to perpetuate such IA

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

The present abominable ward and
legislative district apportionment must
go. 1t always was an insult to intelli-
gent citizens. Chicago's 40 per cent
OF population increase since 1900 will
have an important bearing upon these
redistricting propositions.
The congressional redistricting will
follow the new population basis to be
fxed by the next congress, which will
convene at Washington in December.
The present figure is $4,000 for each
district, but II Is certain that, in order
to prevent the expansion OF the house
Of representatives into body OF un.
wieldy size, the population basis will
be raised, perhaps as high as 250,000,
In which case Cook county would con.
tinue to elect ten congressman.
One OF the most interesting and i'm.
portant features OF the new census Is
the ratio that will be shown between
Cook county and the remainder of the
state. II Chicago has grown more
rapidly than down state" as Is ad-
mitted, It's proportion OF senatorial
districts from which lawmakers are
elected 10 both branches OF the general
assembly, will also be increased.
One OF the milk concerns distributed
scarlet fever in Chicago year ago
but was never punished for 1t, al
though the Health Department traced
the epidemic TO its doors. Others OF
the gang were indicted for belonging
10 a trust. They we're discharged
from custody with the apologies OF
the officers Of the law. Milk magnates
do as they please In Chicago.
This will be a campaign OF surprises
especially TO the lame ducks who ex-
pect a landslide to pull them through.
Like everything else invented for
political use by the millionaire reform
clubs, the direct primary Is a Joke.
States Attorney Wayman spent some
time studying the primary election

The recent primaries in Georgia offer
another illustration OF the truth of Lin
coins statement that all of the people
may be fooled part of the time, and
some of the people all of the time, but
you cannot fool all of the people all OF
the time.
Four years ago, Hoke Smith was elect
ed governor of Georgia on the promise,
among other things, that he would use
his power and influence TO curb the cor
porate aggreSSionS from which the state
had been suffering for SO many years,
Mr.. Smith went into office and immc-
diately began to put his promise into
effect. His course, as might naturally
have been expected, created more or
less of a disturbance in business circles,
but no one suffered except those who
had been either defying the law on one
hand or using il as cloak for their I'M
Just aggreSSionS on the other.
In the meantime the panic came on
and that caused more trouble. The
panic hit everybody, the just as well as
the unjust and il gave Governor Smith s
opponents a chance 10 poison the peo-
pies minds with the idea that he was
responsible for the whole trouble
There was of course no connection be
tween Governor Smiths administration
and Wall streets manufactured panic,
but just enough of the people were for5l:
ed by Smiths enemies into holding him
responsible for their troubles and they
defeated him for reelection.
That was how Little Joe Brown be-
came governor of Georgia. For two

vile can credit it to the literature which
they are sending every week through
the mails to people who do not want it.
The Herald has favored local option in
this question and has refused to publish
whiSkcy advertisements because Sanford
was dry and the people did not want
whiskey Haunted in their faces. But
the wholesale houses in other cities will
not let the dry territory alone and if ii
comes to a showdown the people will
resent this and vote the state dry. We
cannot have local option with the wet

and if there is no other way 10 stop il
the people will vote liquor from the

VIM. Bloxham Crawford, late editor
of the Pensacola Evening News, and
who has but recently disposed OF his in
tcrcSts in that popular paper for the pur-
pose OF moving TO Jacksonville and en-
gaging in the practice of law, spent about
four hours in Palatka last Monday, and
the News feels honorcd that two of
those hours were spent with il. Mr.
Crawford was educated in the law, but
in an evil moment was purSuadCd 10
abandon it for newspaper work. He
made brilliant success in that field, but
will now make desperate effort TO re-
form. He needs the prayers of the
faithful. A man who is by instinct and
natural selection a politician, will never
really know where he is at until he lands
in some high office. A newspaper or a
law office, TO such man, is but the
means 10 an end. Watch Crawford.
Politics is in his blood as a germ, and
the germ has come down 10 him through
several generations OF Office holders
who have served the state with honor
and ability, and who have by their faith
fulneSs to duty made the name of Craw-
ford one to conjure with in Florida. He
is the grandson Of the late DR.. John l..
Crawford, six times elected TO the office
of Secretary of State, and who died
while serving his 2lst year in that ca
pacity, aged IS years. He is the son of
Hon. II. Clay Crawford, the present
Secretary of State, who is now filling
his 10th year in office and has only just
got started. VIM. Bloxham Crawford is
not only well-known, but favorably
known in all parts of the state. He's a
chip from the ancient Crawford block,
and will make good as his fathers have
before him. For a month or two Mr..
Crawford is going 10 rest-or practice
politics-same thing to a man of his
make-up-an then he'll begin the prac-
lice Of law, with an occasional regret for
the newspaper, where he always stood
in the limelight.

FORCE OF GRAVITY.
How It Would Affect Mans Weight on
the Celestial Bodies.

How It Would Affect Mans Weight on
the Celestial Bodies.
If the planet Mars be really inhab.
tied the people who live there must be
an exceedingly agile race The av.
erage weight of Il man is about 40
pounds, but the force of gravity on
Mars is SO much less than on the
earth that the $40 pound man would
weigh only ffty-three pounds If he
were transported thither With such
light weight, and still retaining the
same strength. TN individual would
be able to run with the speed of an
express train, go skipping over ten
foot walls and do various other ex
traordinary things, On the moon a
man would be even lighter
But on the sun our 40 FOUNDER
would have his troubles. Instead of
being an airy individual he would
weigh In the neighborhood of ton
and three-quarters. He would prob
ably have the greatest difficulty in
raising his hand. for that member
would weigh about 300 pounds.
According to scientific computation,
a man who on earth weighs 40
pounds would on the other celestial
bodies weigh as follows:
The moon. % pounds: Mars. 53
pounds; Venus. III pounds; Mercury.
40 pounds; Neptune. 1913 pounds:
Uranus, 1871 pounds: Saturn. 1G5
pounds; Jupiter. 81 pounds, and the
sun, 3,S71 pounds.-Chicago Tribune.

In the opinion of Congressman Frank
Clark when the figures of the 1915
census are made known and the con
greSSional reapportionment is made a
the winter session, Florida will undoubt
eddy be entitled to fourth COMPRESSION
al representative. Mr.. Clark in recent
interview with the Jacksonville Metrop
oils, said:
"When the question of congressional
reapportionmcnt comes up at the winter
session, do not believe congress, with
The republican party in power, will dare
10 increase the ratio 10 more than 200,
900, for the very good reason that q
greater increase will cause Maine and
several other Eastern republican states
10 lose at least one representative. Flor
ida, in my opinion, hasa population Of
at least 500, 000, and not less than 750, O0O
Even with the latter population Florida
is entitled 10 another congressman, for q
majority fraction of the congressional
ratio allows representative. There
fore, if the state shows a population Of
only 7O1 900, under the rule ii will be
entitled to fourth congressman.
During the past decade the growth o.
the state has, indeed, been remarkable
The largest citieS-JackSonvillc, lamp;
and PenSacola-have shown large pop
ulation increases, while many OF tho
smaller towns have doubled their pop
uIation and new towns have sprung into
existence. Miami was not included il
the census before, added TO which the
colonization work has brough thousands
into the state.
sin view of these conditions, see nc
reason why Florida will not be entitled
10 another representative, and cxpcc
one of the most important tasks of the
next legislature will be that of rediStrict
ing the state in order TO let the new
congressman in"
