FREE TRADE

There was a time, in the days of
the democratic fathers, when such
men as Calhoun advocated it, when
free trade was practicable and meant
something definite. That day has
passed. There is now no more posi-
bility of absolute free trade being es-
tablished than for Roosevelt to be
crowned as Theodore |. The phrase
has now only a relative meaning. The
country must have revenue, and a tax
on imports is almost the only means
left to the national government for
the raising of the sums ne cesSarv to
meet the billion dollar annual cost of
the maintenance o. the national insti-
tutions. The states have monopCliZed,
together with the counties and munich
palities, all the available means and
sources of direct taxation. Nothing
remains to the national authorities
save the tariff and the internal rev.
enue taXes.-Tampa Times.
1t seems to us that if free trade"
was a good thing in the early days of
the republic, when such able states
men as Calhoun favored it, it ought
to be good YET Our theory of gov
eminent has not undergone any
change. 1t requires no more revenue
in proportion to its wealth and popula-
ton than it did at its formation. Per-
haps not so much, for then it had the
debt of the revolutionary war-a sew
en- years struggle-to pay off, and
there were no multimillionaires and
great corporations to derive money
from then as there are now. 1t was
loudly proclaimed that free trade"
would be the doom of Great Britain,
but it has made it the great nation
that it is.

FINDS 1T EASY LIVING IN FLOR
IDA.

Mr.. G. D. MCGEE finds living in
Florida easy and delightful When
he came to our county eight months
ago he could not walk across street;
now he is able to work on farm, and
helped to make a crop on one of his
purchases.
He SAYS that he first bought the Jo-
mas Driggers place; someone wanted
=. worse than he did, paid him fine
percentage on his investment, so he
parted with it. He next bought the J.
M Blair place; had not had it very
long before another prospector came
along, offered him a handsome ad-
vance on the amount he had paid for
it. so he sold it. He next bought the
Mrs. Rush place, just half mile from
Lane Weir, and again a prospector
fancied it and was willing to pay
handsome advance on what he had
paid for it, so Mr.. MCGEE was in Ocala
Monday to have the papers fixed up
for delivery to the new owners.
Mr.. MCGEE says that he has made
enough to live on on the crop he has
grown and in the three trades has
cleared six hundred dollars, which he
does not think is bad work for a
stranger and an invalid.

We know that the press of this state
will regret very much to learn that
the health of Colonel J. D. Calhoun of
Tampa is very poor. The colonel has
been for some time on the editorial
staff of the Tampa Times, and when
ever he seizes his pen there is
something doing. He is one OF tie
most forceful, attractive and We 's..tile
writer's in the state and is a splendid
controversialist. He is always on TO
his job. and his articles are always lu-
cid and interesting. He has gone to
the mountains of North Carolina for
recuperation, and it is hoped that the
bracing air of that state will bring
him around all right. Mrs. Calhoun
and his son, Dr. George M. Calhoun,
are accompanying him on his trip.

While the legislative, judicial and
executive departments of our govern
ment are coordinate, they are at least
IN theory supposed to be separate and
distinct, and one is not supposed to
encroach upon the functions of the
others. That was the clearly express
ed ideas of the founders. The respon-
slbllity of making the laws is suppos-
ed to rest solely with the legislative
branch. The lawmakers composing
that branch are supposed to have as
much knowledge in the law-making
line as the judicial or executive
branches. They are elected solely for
that purpose. The judicial branch is
supposed to sit in judgment Cor were
originally upon the trial of cases aris-
ing under the law between individuals
and corporate bodies, and to see that
justice is melted out between contend
ing litigants, and the dignity of the
law is maintained: the executive

Judgment upon the constitutionality

We are mighty sorry that Senator
Fletcher ever got mixed up in that

While its colors blush warm on your

RAINIER ON THE COLONEL

In a recent speech in the senate
Mr. Isidor Rayner, the gifted senator
from Maryland, told in a very viv1G
and remarkable manner of the versa
tility of the colonel. He says that
the colonel can give the lightning
change artist cards and spades and
beat him at his own game to a stand
still
The Maryland senator's speech is
one of the best that has been deliv-
cred in the senate during the extra
session, and will be read with a good
many smiles creeping over ones face.
Mr.. Rayner says:
mo other individual in the United
States has the genius that Mr. Roose-
Welt has. He can make a statement
one day and absolutely deny it the
next, ana people seem to believe him
both times. Talking about platforms,
The can make a speech upon the plat
form of a railroad train. where the
lstations are only one mile apart, and
lrecant at one station what he had said
at the station he had just passed; he
can recommend the selection of a pro-
gressive senator in one state, and
then with equal vehemence indorse
an extreme conservative in another;
he can stand upon two political plat
forms. each radically differing from
the other, and then deny that he
stood upon either of them; he can CO.
quette with both political parties and
then start party of his own, whose
doctrines and principles consist of an
incoherent medley of unconstitutional
impossibilities; he can stand before
an intelligent audience of 5000 peo-
pie and tell them how at the dead of
might, upon the borders of an African
Jungle, upon the banks of river that
never had any existence, when no one
was with him, he encountered and
slaughtered a NEUROLOGICAL animal
that God had never created, and re-
ceive the widest plaudits for the mir
aculous performance of this imposso-
Bile accomplishment
He declared that after obtaining his
(Rayner's) promise to maintain his
position on the railroad rate bill, Mr..
Roosevelt had himself changed his
own position over night. you must
die where you stand" the then presi-
dent was quoted as saying to him.
The next day, when the vote was
TAKEN" asid the senator, Il stood to
my colors and died where l stood.
Just as | was about dying, however,
looked around for the president, who
had promised to die with me, but he
had neither died nor retreated. On
the contrary, l never saw anyone more
constructively alive. Under the gen.
tie guidance of the junior senator
from Massachusetts, he had slipped
away during the night, while we were
all slumbering land there he stood, it
is true, with the colors in his hand,
but they were the colors of the oppo-
sition, and when l returned to life and
met him a short time afterwards the
only explanation I received for this
maneuver, unparalleled in point of
strategy upon the pages of political
history, was his remark to me: Well,
you all died a glorious death; I was
so sorry could not be with you

Before FoOtlights.

Atlantic City. N. J.. Nov. 6.-Cy Nor
gan, Jack Coombs, and Big Chief Ben
der, pitchers of the worlds champion
Athletics, opened their vaudeville en-
gagement here to-day in an act which
was unanimously voted as being the
best ever staged by baseball players.
They are supported by Kathryn Pearl
and Violet Pearl, two clever young
women, who scored individual hits in
the production. The baseball players
surprised the throng of spectators
Morgan's singing was the big feature
of the act, while Coombs and Bender
showed stage ability which was strong
enough to carry the act without their
added prestige as baseball players.
All three appeared perfectly at home
on the stage. their singing and dancing
being a credit to even seasoned stage
professionals. An immense audience
greeted the worlds series heroes. and 1t
was fully FIVE minutes after Morgan,
Coombs, and Bender made their ap-
pearance before they were able ito
speak their lines. The men have an
excellent baseball sketch, replete with
bright jokes, which they delivered in
perfect style.

YALE REGULARS REST.
Coach Field Gives First String Men
Lay-off.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 6-Acting on
advices Of Trainer John Mack, Head
Coach Field, of the Yale eleven, dis
missed the first string men with short
practice in'the fundamentals. Two elevens
were formed for scrimmaging, but none
Of the regular players was on either Of
the teams. Bomeister was the only player
who is expected to start the big game
who fought through the scrimmaging.
The coaches now plan to put him at
right end in the three remaining games
OF the season.
Avery, who played Saturday. was moved
to the left end to-day, and he and Pete
Francis have a pretty fight on their hands
for that position. Avery has been the
luckiest player on the team in his good
fortune to recover fumbled balls. He has
made three touchdowns in this manner
since he was given a trial in the Holy
Cross game when he began his scoring.
Dunn, who made a touchdown Saturday
by seizing the ball after Avery had block
ed a kick, was moved from end to half
back to-day.
Jim Seully, the injured left tackle who
has been out of town for three or four
days, is expected to return on Wednes-
day. Trainer Mack will decide later about
starting him in the Brown game Satur-
day. To-day's practice was secret and
closed mutes will prevail until the close
of the season. A call for more coaches
has been sent out, and word has been re-
ceived that tomorrow or Wednesday the
following former stars will be here: How
ard Jones, Billy Bull, Heffelfnger, Jim
McCrea, George Adee, Ned Glass, Corbih,
and Ten Lilley.
