BEAcHAM OF ORLANDO MAY EN-
TER THE RACE

A representative of the Reporter
Star asked Mr. B. Beacham a few
days ago, fatty, whether or not he is
a candidate for congressman at large
from this state.
Mr.. Beacham sat back in his office
chair, smiling, his face rudy with the
genuine Florida brand of health, and
parried the question.
He talked about the cost of the
race, his probable opponents, the
needs of the state-his political
Ideals, then he hit on the why Or
ange county in particular, and this
section in general, should be repre-
scented in congress.
He said this: If go into this race
am going in to win. | don't pro
pose that my name be appended to
the list of those, announced the day
after election, who also ran
1T will be an expensive campaign,
but l might say that l don't mind
spending money in a legitimate way.
I consider that this section of Florida
needs congressman. Orange cOun-
ty has not had a state officer in
twenty years; and this adjacent sec
ton hasn't been represented in con-
gress since the days of Hull, a quar-
ter of century ago.
"The representation in congress
from this state-the real representa-
tion-has come from the seaboard
sections. Tampa, Jacksonville, Pen
sacola have so far gotten the great est
good from the activities of our repre-
sentatives in the national house. 1t
appears to me that this is unfair to
the inland section Of the state, which
of course is as susceptible of improve
ment as the seaboard section.
"If I go into office 1 shall have no
friends to favor, and no enemies to
punish. l will be free-footed. And
shall not impose upon my hearers
from the stump by villifying my op-
ponents. I shall take it for granted
that my audiences can secure their
information concerning the gentle
men who are running for the office,
from other sources.
Il know as much of Florida GER
+oip1v &c tho aypraoa man ha 20
had business dealings in practically
every section of the state. So far as
my platform goes, l should be guided
largely by the platform of the nation
al democratic convention, which l
hope will be successful next year,
and l look for a strong platform bas-
ed on the needs of the people. Or

Mr.. Dickson H. Irvine was at the

exhibits of corn, which are intended
TO be object lessons to our farmers.
One is a half bushel of shelled corn,
the other a dozen ears of corn on the

and every grain is as sound as if
gathered yesterday. He preserves
his corn from the ravages of the wee

1903 he was a member of the high
school commission, whose duty it was
to prepare a standard course of study
for the high schools of the state, and
an advisory course for the elementary
schools. In July, 1909, in the city Of
Denver, Colorado, he was elected vice
presidetn of the National Educational
Association, an honor bestowed upon
but few educators in this country. IN
July, 1910, in the city of Boston, Mass,
he was elected member of the co IN
ell of education of the National Edu-
cational Association, an honor never
before attained by Floridian.
His administration of the office of
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton abs been safe and sane through
out and at the same time he has kept
abreast of the best thought of the age
in all matters educational.
The friends of education all over the
state will make a strong effort to Sc
cure his denomination, wisely believ-
ing that this is an office which should
not be subject to the control of schem-
ing politicians and that the children
of the state should not be the victims
of political machination.

seem to the writer that $500 per day
is little enough for man to earn for a

The Fortnightlv Club.

There was an interesting session of
the Fortnightly Club on Friday eve
ming, February 5. Occupation night
it was called and each man brought
an exhibit of the thing that he was
interested in or what he sold or man
ufactured. The display of Mr. Hum
phrey Of the Corn Products Com
pany" of Edgewater, was by far the
most interesting exhibit of the kind
that has come to the attention of the
writer for some time. 1t was shown
how the corn was manufactured into
oil, starch, rubber, fertilizer, fodder
syrup, glucose, and other products too
numerous to mention here and each
one in Grantwood should have been on
hand to see and hear all about it. In
c1dentally there was about 20 pounds
assorted candy made from corn pro-
ducts, ranging in price from 10 cents
to 80 cents per pound, distributed
among those present to show its pur-
ity and quality. Mr.. R. w. Ansel1
had an exhibit of skins of lamb, deer.
antelope, elephant, buffalo and pea
cock that [ remember, there NAV have
been more. His description Of how
these were tanned, dressed, colored
and made ready for the market was
interesting and instructive Mr.. Shom-
Der gave an exhibit of book binding
and the process of making a book.
Mr.. Henry Dyer had an interesting
exhibit of rice the different grades,
colors and amount of production. The
writer also had an exhibition of steel
and fine tools There were a number
of others which kept the interest of
the members until late hour.

Two Fires.

This month has seen two fires in
our end of the town, the first one just
over the borough line in Fort Lee on
Anderson avenue and the second one
on Thursday night, February 2nd, at
the home of Councilman Scott on
Grant avenue The writer under
stands that the Clifside department
did great work at both, the loss at Mr..
SCOTS house being estimated at ST.
100000 1t was unfortunate that Mr..
Scott was away at a lodge meeting
and Mrs. Scott was alone with the
children, she did not faint or stand
and wiring her hands, however; she
was of material help to the men of the
department directing them where the
blaze was and helping them to get at
it in the most direct way An anus
ing incident at the Fort Lee fire was
occasioned by the fact that the Pail
SADIE fremen have no uniforms and
when their captain attempted to order
and direct the fire forces he was or
dered away from the house by our
"laddies,' who thought he was an I'M
official butter-in This mix-up was
soon Strengthened out, however. and
all the men worked together with
vim. We would advise the Palisadians
to buy their men caps at least so that
they might be recognized.

Now is the time for the people at
this end of the Borough to wake up
and get busy about the Amusement

next summer, if any. The Palisa-
dams in body appeared at a meet

had a license fee of $4,000 imposed
on all such attractions as this and
made it necessary to procure the per-

Fog"

The presentation of the inimitably

Comedy Club, of Grantwood, at the
Fire Hall, in that place, on the eve

that will be long remembered with
chuckles by those who were fortu-

The Club has given number OF plays
during the past three seasons, but this,
the premier of their fourth season,
will be hard to excel. for forcefulness
in presentation, and for delicacy. Mr..
Drew, as the self-impOrtant detective,
made a distinct hit, both in his make
up and his work.
The character parts, by Messrs.
Vosburgh and Mutt, as the irascible
old uncle and the very meek curate
were admirable.
