Blount's Remarkable Modesty-

1t has accidentally become known to
the editor of the Sun who the citizen of
Escambia county is that endowed four
years scholarship in the University of
Florida, including board and all expens-
es, with the condition that his name be
not made known-and it is no less per.
son than the Hon. William A. Blount
He was not then candidate for any Of
flee, having previously withdrawn from
the senatorial race in the first primary,
and the modesty for which he is so we'll
known no doubt caused him to con-
dition the Acknowledgement to at
least one thousand dollars-upon his
name being kept secret. But no men,
Der of the faculty of the university is re-
sponsible for this editor becoming aware
of the name of this benefactor, and
while it is undoubtedly against the will
of Col. Blount for his name to be made
public in this matter, we cannot refrain
from letting certain people know how
he feels toward the state university. 1t
is in great contrast with the record of
some others who are asking favors at
the hands of the people of Gainesville
and young men over the state.-Gaines-
vile Sun.

Binding Only in Moral Sense


An exchange asks: "Will the primary
be legal and binding if the payment of
poll tax for 1910 is waived" Yes, Ru.
fus; it will be binding on those who
wish to obey the expressed will OF the
people. On those who don't care what
the people want, it will not be binding
unless their favorite candidate happens
TO be nominated. So far as the "legaIi-
ty" of primary is concerned, there is
room for difference of opinion, if there
is such thing as LEGALITY" in securing
an expression of the voters opinion as
guidance TO the legislature. The pri-
maries held in May and June last did not
legally bind the Legislature to vote for
Broward for United States Senator; but
had he lived, and had any member of
the Legislature refused to vote for the
party nominee, there would have been a
row in that members home county and
throughout the State, that would have
driven him from Florida. A man who
would disregard the expressed wish OF
primary at which the poll tax of 1910
was waived, would disregard the ex-
pressed wish of primary held earlier in
the year because the people had so lit
tie time in which TO pay their poll
taxes" You can't make a man honest,
or upright, by law or by the payment OF
poll taxes.

The official organs of the Grand
Army of the Republic are generally
urging the old soldiers of the north TO
locate in Florida. They are getting
along in years, these old soldiers, and
won't be able to do much work, but
like the remittance" man from Eng

Samuel has provided liberal pensions to
the Yankee soldiers and Florida well
comes them. They are a Self-Support-

What State Editors are
Saying.
The Rump Committee
Meeting in Jacksonville

The Rump Committee
Meeting in Jacksonville
Pensacola Journal.
1t begins to look as though some one,
probably Mr.. Nathan P. Bryan, of Jack.
sonville, had made very serious mis-.
take.
Chairman Price, of the state executive
committee, issued a regular call for a
special meeting of The committee to be
held on Nov. II to go into the matter OF
holding a state primary. The chair
mans call was plain and the date fixed
by him was entirely early enough TO
suit every interest in the proposed pri-
mary so far as the people were con-
cerned.
But Mr.. Bryan apparently could not
wait and he, or his friends, secured a
meeting of rs members of the committee.
These members held rump meeting,
fixed dates for the proposed primaries,
and will probably issue a call in accord
ance with their action.
The Journal does not hesitate 10 say
that this committee meeting was entire
ly unnecessary, irregular, and illegal,
and no democratic voter will be bound
by its action.
When the committee meets on Nov
n, in accordance with Chairman Prices
call, and takes action on the primary its
meeting will be regular and legal. 1t
will no doubt then call primary in a
regular and legal manner, and the dates
which it fixes will be the dates on
which the primary will be held.
In the meantime, the various county
committees should get busy and enlist
sufficient volunteers to serve as clerks
and inspectors without cost, so that
every county committeeman can report
10 the state committee that il will be
possible TO hold primary in his county.

Forrest CreSsey has made some valua-
Bile observations on truck farming in
Florida that il might be we'll for many
poor men in the cities of the north
men who contemplate selling out and
moving here where they can make an
easy living-to read. The observations
of Mr.. CreSSey were taken from the
Miami Metropolis. He says:

terials come Highland only those who
hold strong hand may safely play it.
Surely il is no Sugared kindergarten gift
for those who have been unable TO hold
their own in the metropolitan life and
are looking for a soft snap to spring full
fruitage from the soil to their rescue.

is not an ancient calling which may be
blindly followed with fair success along
the line of outgrown tradition and in
herited rules simply because the world
must eat and because the soil will pro-
duce, no matter how loosely and waste

Thinks Bryan Has Advantage

that Bryan has the advantage. He is

that is the thing that wins these days.

Says She's Friend of Veterans

Miss Jefferson Bell, one of the best
known women in the state, is here from
Tallahassee TO inspect the work on her
apartment house on Fort King avenue.
Miss Bell is one of the indispensable ad-
juncts of the comptroller'S office, where
she has charge of the pension bureau
and by her interest in her labors the old
Confederate veterans have come to look
upon her as daughter, Miss Bell in
years past was an accomplished news
paper woman and one of the brightest
and best that the state has produced and
in every sanctum of the state, among
the old Stagers of the press she is re-
membered with pleasure. Prior to that
Miss Bell taught school in Marion coun-
ty and wherever she taught she is re
.membered with respect and apprecia-
ton. The Star acknowledges a pleas
ant call this morning. She was and al
ways will be welcome.
