Congress Frank Clark, in communi-
cation 10 the News and published in
another column, intimateS that this pa
per has been unfair in charging him
with playing politics. The News &C
knowledges the justice of Mr. Clark's
criticism. Frank Clark doesn't "play"
politics-he works at 'em, and he is a
worker who need not be ashamed of his
profession. From late dispatches in the
Florida Times Union it is apparent that
during the past two weeks Mr.. Clark
has been working over time. 1t was
high time for him to get busy
citizens of the Second district are after
his job. Probably the most formidable
of these is Hon. S. ]. Hilburn of this
city. The Second Congressional dis
trict of Florida is a large territory.
The people of great portion of that
territory feel that Mr. Clark has ne
elected their interests. The deepening
of Deep Creek is not new idea Mr.
Hilburn saw the need of ii long ago, and
has promised that in the event of his
election he would secure an appropria-
ton for the work or be able TO tell The
reason why. In the News editorial of
which Mr.. Clark complains, this paper
also called attention to the fact that Mr.
Hilburn had also advocated canal TO
connect Haw Creek and the Tomoka
river. In Tuesdays Times Union, four
days after Mr. Clarks letter to this paper
was written, there appears a Washing
ton dispatch which says: Frank Clark
today introduced a resolution calling for
a survey 10 determine the ACCESSIBILITY
and cost of suitable canal connecting
Haw Creek and Tomoka River" This
also is proper move on the part of
Mr.. Clark The work is important.
But isn't ii little strange that Mr.. Clark
failed TO call attention 10 the fact that
through a resolution introduced by Mr.
Hilburn in the House, the Florida legis.
lature of 1909 memorialized congress 10
takes up this work. Mr. Clark has wait
ed long. Yes, il is true that congress
has made an appropriation for deepening
the channel of the St. Johns river from
Jacksonville TO Lake Harvey - about
$40, 600 for 800 mile channel. II Mr..
Clark had ANYTHING TO do with securing
that exorbitant appropriation .of money
we are willing 10 concede that il was
not for the purpose OF heading off Sam
In fact it would be a hard
matter to say what il was done for. No,
Mr.. Clark, the News doesn't want TO do
you an injustice, and when it stated that
some of your late moves in congress
had the odor of politics, it really felt
hat il was voiciug truth, and-a chest

The Federal grand jury at Jackson
vile on Saturday handed down an in
dictment against the Florida Home
Land Company, of which A. S. Mann,
S. w. Bolles and T. S. Hand are the
principal manipulators. These men
will answer to the charge of fraudulent
misrepresentation. 1t is to be hoped
this finding by the grand jury will be
followed by other indictments against
several other fraudulent land sale
schemes in this state. Florida has Sufii
cient natural advantages of soil and eli
mate TO induce immigration; too many
in fact TO tempt other than natural
crooks to miSrepresent. The "A. S.
Mann named in the Indictment above
referred to is the father-in- law of former

Palatka merchants are enjoying big
Christmas trade this week, and that too,
without INDUCING in any fake advertis-
ing or "hold-up- games" of the Madam
Durand variety, as in Jacksonville. By
the way, our friend Claude L'Engle ex-
poses the Durand fake in Dixie this
week, and he does it proper. Madam
Durand was hailed as famous shop
per, but she did not buy. Zone of her
schemes" says Dixie, twas TO advertise
that she would be in store at certain
hour and buy certain articles She
hoped TO see crowd of people present
and after she inspected certain goods
she would praise them loudly and then
present check for the same, and give
orders TO send them to a certain place.
The manager of the store was expected
TO do his part, too. He was TO bow,
smile and be pleasant. He was TO ac-
cept the check and thank Madame Du-
rand for her kind words and liberal
patronage and ask her to call again.
When the madame left the manager was
TO tear up the check, as the purchase
was merely a fake TO fool the onlook-
erS." Fancy Palatka merchants indulg-
ing in such cheap fake. But you
couldn't. They are not built that way.
