Florida editors heartily agree with
The Journal in declaring that the
county commissioners and the repre-

portant officers than the governor and
his cabinet. Everyone agrees that the
candidates for these Offices ought to
be made to state positively what their
positions are on the vital questions.

CITY TOLOAN BLOCKS
 TO WYCKOFF PAVING co.

Because the shipment of Wyckoff blocks ordered for Barnum avenue by the Conn. Co. are being delayed, holding up the work of paving in Barnum avenue, Col. M. H. Rogers, chairman of the Paving and Sewer commission has granted the company the loan of sufficient city blocks to do their paving. The company to- day started on their part of the street between Noble avenue and East Main street, on which section the city has already done her part
 The Conn. Co. has shipment of 500 yards on the way here, but they are not expected until about the end of next week. Shipments amounting to 5000 yards have been promised this week.
 There is saving by the city in the wood block pavement for State street. On the awarding of the contracts there was a saving of IT cents over the awarding of the contracts for Barnum avenue, while the State street blocks are F inches wide against 3 inch blocks in Main street two years ago.
 There is no fear that the city will get poor blocks from the Barber Go. The commission has gone to the ex- pense of engaging a competent in spector. He is at the factory where the blocks are turned out, inspects the lumber before Urea tment, again after treatment, and finally sees that the same blocks are loaded and sent to this city.

THREE MUsKETEERs OF ITALY
How Army Officers, Disguised as Criminals, Obtained the Evi- dence Against the
 CamOrra

Three young army officers, chosen from the crack military organization of Italy. are chiefly responsible for the damaging evidence that is being piled up against the prisoners in the fa- nous Camorra trial, according to an article in the July Metropolitan Mag azine. These officers, whose names ares F'abbronf, Farris, and Capezzuti. were selected by the King to find out the truth about the great criminal society.
 Secret commands were given the Minister of War-commands which his colleagues in the Departments of Jus tice and the Interior knew nothing about, and Captain Fabbronf and his companions were ordered ''to purge Naples. Together these Three Mus keteers, of Modern Italy laid out their campaign. Fabbroni, with documents all in proper form, was to probe the archives of the police, courts, and pris- ons. Farris, with letters of introduc- tfon from eminent personages in Rome, was to enter the charmed circle of the Neapolitan aristocracy. There remained for Capezutti the hardest and most dangeous task of all: He, in the guise of one of the brigands, escaped from his own Sar- dinfa. was to enter the ''mala vita'' of Naples and gather the roots of the Honorable Society of the Camorra, while his comrades plucked it's fatal fruit in the professional and social life of the city.
 These three men began their work in silence and in darkness Five years were before them-five years of secret and perilous toll. Then the light was to shine over the most extraordinary and romantic feats of detection that the age can produce

THE GOSSIP.

 You will never find time to wash your own windows if you're constant ly searching for slnudges on your neighbours panes. You'll never discover where you are wrong if your attention is contin- ually devoted to the shortcomings of your fellows.
 When you know that the next-door yard hasn't been cleaned for a week itss pretty nearly a certainty that the broom will find plenty to do in your attic.
 The job of minding her own busi- ness, of mending her own faults and arranging her own affairs. is full sized twenty-four- -hour-a-day job for any one woman. When you are thoroughly posted upon everything that is going wrong in town, depend upon it, everything 6sn't going right under your own roof.
 You can't watch the street and at the same time keep the dust off the piano and the cobwebs out of the cor ners of your parlor.
 The woman who can always pick a flaw in everybody else, is usually get ting her viewpoint from a mirror.
 Those who are the least charitable usually require the most charity
 Only the mean are chronically searching for m eanness.
 Only those who deserve least from the world have the poorest opinion of it.
 The thief has no confidence in the honesty of the average-the vicious are the first to sheer at virtue.
 The chronic gossip will, upon inves- tigation, be found to merit as much criticism as she bestows.

WHY ROOSEVEITS POPULARITY
 IN VERMONT HAS WAVED
(Montpelier-Journa'

It is very evident that Colonel 1 Roosevelt has been growing more
 radical in recent years, more inn patient of opposition, more inclined | 10 question the motives of those who differ with him. His attitude since ne returned from his African. trip has been particularly open to criticism. HIS Ossawatomie speech displayed a radlcalism that does not commend it. sef to the average Vermonter. He
 friendliness for the western insur- gents than he has for the president. One or the principal reasons to which the diminution of Colonel Roosevelts popularity is due, in the opinion of the Journal, is his unfair, unjust attitude toward President Taft His words of commendation for his successor have been few and grudg- lngly given. It is Roosevelts nature to lavish extravagant praise upon his iavorltes, a fact which makes his ex- treme caution in saying a good word
 for Taft the more noticeable. The natural Inference to be drawn from thlS attitude is that Roosevelt does net like Taft's policy or is jealous of
 nm. Surely there is no reason for
 dlssatlsfaction with Tafts course as president. Colonel Roosevelt took
 occasion the other day to deny with
 much Vlgor the report that he was
 going to support Taft for renomina-
 tlon. or course he did not say that
 ne would not support Taft, for prob
 ably he will do so, but he made this
 denlal with what seemed to be an emphasis altogether unnecessary
 Alter all the excuses have been
 made. 1t will be difficult to convince
 the average Vermont Republican that
 Roosevelt has treated fairly the man
 whom he was so anxious to place in
 office. He has not exemplified. in
 this instance, at least, the doctrine of
 the square deaP' which he breaches so extensively. His attempt to dis
 credit the presidents policy of in
 ternational arbitration naturally is
 being condemned by many people and
 is not adding to his popularity No.
 the loss of popularity is not due near ly so much to the fickleness of the
 people as it is to Colonel Rooseveit's
 own unwise and injudicious acts.
