OPINION OF A FLORIDA EDITOR.

Tom Watson comes back at Seely
Of the Atlanta Georgian, in his usual
peppery style, but we very much fear
that Tom is allowing his fOndness for
controversy to run away with his
sense of truth and justice,-Tampa
Tribune.
1t is surprising to see great papers
like The Tribune looking through TO-
cused glasses. We do not think that
any unprejudiced man can doubt the
truthfulness of Mr.. WatsOn's charges
against Hoke Smith, The silence Of
Smith, under those severe charges,
will convict him with all fair minded
people. If we were innocent, no man
making such charges against us,
could go unpublished. We do not be-
liove that any honest, brave man
would remain behind partisan
press. If Mr.. Smith is innocent, Mr..
Watson cannot be too severely pun
ished, If he is guilty, he should
never be permitted to take his seat
as goyernor.-Tarpon Springs (Fla.)

records of these courts during the last
few years is indeed sombre one to
him who longs to see the reign of jus
tice and humanity.
Occasionally we stumble onto a
friend of the working class in the

come as a surprise to the toilers to
hear that in the highest court in
America there is actually a friend of
organized labor. He is a son of the
lovable and gentle author of "The

it is the heritage in some degree of
the paternal character that causes his

the limit of the cost was fixed at So

one, and was prepared to build another
much better ship at practically the
same cost, charged by private contrac-
tors, compelling their men to work ten
hours day, and that every dollar on

When a court reaches decision
upon a case in litigation, it is re-
ferred to one of the judges to write
the opinion Of the majority of the

opinion does not affect the decision

opinions that Justice Holmes gives
expression to his attitude toward or

Some Of the reasons why the cost OF
running the government is increasing
SO fast and why it would really be
possible for Senator Aldrich to save
the people lot of money if he would
run the government as business man
would run it are revealed in the report
of Secretary Of the Senate Bennett for
the fiscal year 1910.
Vice President James S. Sherman
drew on the people for $1,000 to main
tain touring car. He kept track OF
every puncture during the year and
saw to- it that the people stood the
damage. It might be presumed that
after the government had presented
the vice president with a handsome
car. the man of the sunny disposition
would at least insist upon providing
the driver. Mr.. Sherman however, not
only charged the chauffeur's salary up
to the people, but permitted the tax
payers to reimburse him for the auto

If you make practice of keeping a
store of extra lamp chimneys on your
top shelf, ready for emergency, and
wish to have them not only clean, but
clear, if needed suddenly, it is good
plan to take little time, some day,
to put each one on lighted lamp for
a han hour, then take it off and when
quite cooled, wash it in clear, running
hot water, dry with a soft cloth, and
wrap it in paper before alying away.
