and keenly at the English plenipo-

The local optionists held convention
last week in Jacksonville. II one is to
believe the published reports q big
crowd was on hand, and why shouldn't
there have been. when, it is said, the
coin for each delegates expenses was
put up by the whisky interests OF the
state; and again, why shouldn't the
whiskey interests put up the expense
money: The success Of local option
directly benefits them, and Pleasant
Holt, the general manager, Is smooth
enough to know that it was necessary
to put up the coin to get the crowd,
hence we don't doubt for a minute but
that each delegates expenses were paid.
This much we do know-that it was the
plan to defray each delegates expenses,
for it was put up to Us that way. We
can see nothing particularly wrong
about this, because we feel that the
whiskey interests, being directly bene-
fitted, should bear the burden of expense
of the campaign. 1t is enough for the
delegates to add responsibility to the
cause However, the editor, although
local optlonist. didn't bite, notwith-
standing he was urged 10 become dele
gate and an committee man, and was
told great prominence would be given
him throughout the state and his pic
ture published in numerous papers, to
say nothing of future political prefer
ment.
All this and more was put up to the
editor, hence we naturally conclude
that the same story was told others.
The picture gallery, prepared before the
convention met, and published simulta-
neously in the large dailies in the state,
at least carries out this idea. We must
admit, however, that we were little
in the picture end of the
scheme, which was tackled on to give
to the cause. We were
told that Ex-Governor Bloxham's pic |
ture would be there, also Supreme
Court Justice Parkhill would furnish |
his photo. but they didn't appear,
doubtless for the same reason that the
editors didn't appear-that he was q |
local optionist from an entirely different
stsndpoint-not to boost or stand spon-
sor for the saloons, but solely because
he honestly didn't believe statewide
prohibition would or could accomplish
anything more than local option. In
other words, the editor is local option
iSt in the interest nf temperance, and
We believe it worth more to the cause of
real temperance than statewide prohi-
oition as national laws now stand. Bnt
The saddest thing done at the convention
was when they went down in Marion
county and got good old "Uncle" Henry
Long, grsy-haired and tottering on the
brink of the grave, to go up to Jackson
lille and accept the Craftsmanship Of q
paid for by the whiskey in
erests. This is the straw that breaks
he camel's back and puts the editor Of
Che Record squarely on the side of
tate wide prohibition. Pleas Holt, you
rave gone too far.-MSnstee Record.

Some anti prohibitionists tell us that
the use Of vhiskey is all right-that it Is
only the abuse of it that is wrong. From
this premise they argue that persons who

convenience in buying it simply because
some one else abuses it. This Is all very
clear and convincing. Now all viii be

Major John Trice has been publishing
with great gusto q table showing the
expense of the courts as per capita for
the various counties of the state. Know
ing how the wetness Of the wet territory
dampens the dry territory one would
not expect to see much difference in tn
two as to court costs and there appears
in the face Of it nothing remarkable in
the fact that the average cost for the
wet and dry counties is about the same.
However. the table needs little an
alysis. Nearly all the small counties
are dry and nearly all the populous
counties wet. The per capita cost would
naturally be less in a populous county.
Suppose we take counties in the same
class for comparison. The fifteen dry
counties ranging between 10000 and
10000 in population show an average
cost per capita for court expenses, per
figures Of Major Trice's table, of %
cents, while the three wet counties be-
tween 10, 600 and 10000 the cost aver
ages A. cents That looks little diff
ferent, doesn't it?-Ft. Meade Leader.

The local. "option" crowd held 8 con-
vention in Jacksonville last Thursday,
and perfected thorough organization
TO fight the adoption of the prohibition
amendment. 1t was q respectable crowd
composed of lawyers, saw mill and tur-
pentine men, and one ex-preacher who
had been excluded from the church be-
cause he could not give up his partner
ship with the devil, besides several 9th
ers who ought to have known better.
And here is q starnge thing. Not one
wholesale or retail liquor dealer wss
permitted to join the organization.
Why? Merely to keep the liquor deal
ers, whose business is at stake, in the
background and thus deceive the voters
of the state who oppose the amendment
into believing that they are not working
with the whiskey crowd.-Bronson

BECOMING DESPERATE.

Should the Anti-Saloon Leaguers be
successful ii procuring the prohibition
Of liquors IN our state ii wouldn't be
ninety days before they would begin u
crusade against tobacco and coffee II
possible they would have laws passed
against the use of these commodities
and deputy sheriffs wcul1 be searching
our houses and contiScating the little TO-
bacco and coffee they might find.
The way to prevent all this trouble is
to sit down On these Anti-Saloon Leag-
uers right at the start.
This can be done by voting against the
proposed statewide prohibition amend
ment. Sit down on them voters. Sit
down hard.-Jasper News.
The foregoing shows to what length
the whiskey people will go to gain votes
against the prohibition amendment. 1t
is to be hoped that no man in Florida is
so weak minded as to believe the state
ments contained in this article. II to-
bADco and coffee were causing men and
women to commit murder and all man
ner of lesser crimes, as whiskey is doing,
there would doubtless be c crusade
against them, aud in that event there
ought to be. but as matters stand there
is no more likelihood of laws being pass
ed against the use Of these commodities
F., than there is that q law will be passed
forbidding the eating of hominy.

The Times Union refers to persons
who oppose the prohibition of the IL
quor trafc IS "men who object to being
controlled simply because some one else
needs to be controlled" That is q
catchy sentence and no doubt those who
are of the Times Unions way of think
ing will draw comfort from it in over
flowing measure, but is the reasoning
sound? Suppose these DIRECTORS should
object to all the prohibitions Of the law,
because, forsooth, they do not need to be
controlled If their objections were sus-
tanned would the law books not have to
be purged Of all restraints against i'm
morality and other crimes? Only q very
small percentage of our citizens "need
to be controlled" and if this felicitous
condition were good ground for objec-
ton to the enactment and enforcement
Of laws designed to protect society
against the misconduct Of the immoral
and criminal minority would we lot
soon fnd ourselves very seriously hsndi- |
capped in the matter Of controlling those
who do need 10 be controlled?

CHICAGO FOURTH
CITY IN WORLD
Has Now Population Of 2,185, ,2S3-
Increased 28.7 Per Cent In Ten
Years--New York Is
Growing Faster.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE popula.
tion of Chicago is 2,185,2S3, an in.
crease of 6,70S, or 2S.7 per cent, as
compared with 1,69S,575 in 1900.
This announcement leaves Chicago
ranking in population as the second
city of the United States and fourth
in the world.
Chicago has almost doubled the pop.
ulatioa since 1890, when the figures
were 1,699,S50 Its greatest growth
was during that period between 1890
and 1900, when there was an increase
of 54.i per cent. The increase in pop
ulation during the past decade was ont
so great proportionately as that Of
New j Aork, the rate of increase being
10 per cent less than that scored by
the eastern city. New York is yet
ahead of it's closest rival by 2,5S1,55o.
Chicago can claim the distinction of
having jumped from sixth to fourth
place among the big cities of the
globe, 1t following close upon the
heels Of Paris, whose population In
1901 was 2,714,06S Chicago takes
