BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE

Is not the Levy Times-Democrat
guilty of lese majesty? Here's what
it says about the chief executive of
the state:
Small wonder if the Florida car
shouldn't prorogue the legislature and
send it after Mr. Wallis briber Or
he may declare vacant the seats of
those who disagree with him, for has
he not usurped the right of the peo-
pie to choose their own officials ex-
cept subject to his majesty's approx
al? Gilchrist is not democrat, but
dictator, and the house has had to
sit down on him several times. -
Timpa Times.
Now, what do 20 uthink of that? In
every appointment that Albert Gil
christ has made since he has occu-
pied the executive chair has been
done only at the instance of the
democratic executive committees OF
the various counties in which va
cancy occurred.
A vacancy occurred in the office of
county judge of Levy county, and the
governor made the announcement
that the recommendation of the
county democratic executive commit
tee would be accepted, but that all as
pirants for the office must be given a
fair and equal bite at the cherry. He
| received what was purported to be
the recommendation of a majority of
the committee and made the appoint
ment accordingly.
1t was afterwards ascertained that
the chairman of the committee had
not called the committee together
but surreptitiously had gone to ma
jority of the members and said that
there was no other candidate for the
office but his own father, and pre-
vailed on them to sign petition rec
ommending him for the office.
A protest was sent to the governor;
he held up the appointment and said
that while he was governor things
must be done in the open; that moth
ing should be done behind closed
doors.
The democratic executive commit.
tee of Levy county was called togeth-
er; the chairman was requested to
resign for his undemocratic method
of procedure, and another name was
sent to the governor for appointment.
If this method of the governor for
| clean politics constitutes a dictator
this paper wants all democratic gov
errors to follow in his footsteps and
become dictators.
How unlike was Gilchrist's meth
DDS to some of his predecessors in
office

THE CAMPHoR TREE

Did you ever see moss growing on
a camphor tree? Do you know of any
insect pest or other insect that makes
it's home or propagates its species on
camphor tree? Do you know of
any tree that make a more rapid
growth? Did you ever know a cam
phor tree to be injured by cold in this
section of Florida? Do you know of
one single Objectionable characters
tice of the camphor tree for shade
wind break, or roadside or avenue
tree? Do you know of any tree that
requires less care or nursing? Can
you give any valid reason why you
have overlooked it and spent your eff
forts on waite rand live oaks, during
all these years? Do you know of
any reason why the newspapers of
south Florida-always leaders and di-
recors of public thought and enter
prise-should not keep these ques-
lions set in bold-face type, standing
at the head of one of their conspicu-
GUS columns? If they would all do so
for one year don't you think our state
would be beautified, ultimately, to the
extent of million of dollars.-Or-
lando Reporter-Star.
And no tree makes quicker or
prettier hedge. There are one or two
OF these redges in Ocala and they at
tract a great deal of attention. AS
they have no enemies and grow
quickly and luxuriantly, they would
do we'll for cemetery hedges. They
should be more numerous in Ocala.

UNIFORM TEXT BOOKS WIN
FIGHT AT TALLAHASSEE

Herbert A. Felkel writes from Tai
lahassee as follows:
Without fight, and with almost as
much ease as the race track bill was
passed, the house Monday morning
voted for Senator Cones measure,
which provides for uniformity of
public school books Throughout Flor
ida and prohibits a change of text
books for five years after its adop-
ton. The change may then be made
by the board of state institutions at
the recommendation of sub-com-
mission to be appointed by the gov
. ernor and to consist of competent
teachers and county superintendent
from each congressional district. No
county contract will be broken, but
no new ones must be made when
those now in force end.
A spirited debate was expected by
the crowded galleries, and was pre-
pared for by members. but all advo-
Gates of uniformity had met Saturday
and had decided to unite on the Cone
bill, which is considered the most
perfect in the south, and which has
already passed the senate. 1t was
agreed then that all friendly amend
ments necessary for the perfection of
the bill should be introduced Mon
day morning by Gray of Gadsden
that Cone would endeavor to have the
senate concur in them, that all
amendments not offered by Gray
should be voted down, an that the
bill would pass with only these
friendly amendments.
This program was executed to the
letter and by waive of the rules the
bill was read a second time and a
third time, which consumed nearly
two hours, and was placed on final
passage, which resulted in vote OF
SIS to for the measure, which was
Immediately certified to the senate
for concurrence in the amendments
The governor is not expected to veto
it. All other bills on the subject are
indefinitely postponed

An Appreciation

In the sudden taking away of Will
liam c. Vaughn, my friend and BUSH
ness partner, l feel that words can
not express my feelings, and l see a
life of promise suddenly snuffed
when it's flame was increasing in bril-
lance.
Mr. Vaughn was born in Marion
county and in his early life attended
the country schools there. He and
his brother, B. F. Vaughn, early in
their teens, became the sole support
of their family
Before he had reached manhood he
came here, being associated with sew
eral of the best concerns of the city.
His life has been one of conquering
obstacles, as is manifested in his
fight for legal education and it's fl
nal realization, in diploma from the
University of Michigan.
He was a regular and devoted
member of the Woodmen of the
World, and his deeds of help to striv-
ing friends made him dear to us all.
He is survived by his aged mother,
several sisters and brother.-L. o.
Chaplin, in Florida Times Union.

THE STANDARD OIL CASE

The supreme court of the United
States has just handed down a decis-
ion which says that the Standard Oil
Company is a monopoly in restraint
of trade, and must dissolve within a
period of six months. The decision of
the court is a voluminous one and
was rendered by Chief Justice White.
1t contains more than twenty thous-
and words. We do not believe that
the court means that the property of
the Standard Oil Company is to be
confscated. This injustice was only
done the southern people when the
property they held in slaves was con-
fiscated without due process of law
or the payment of a penny. We sup
pose that the Standard will reorgan-
ize in some way under the cognizance
of the courts.
Following is summary of the
Standard Oil decision. The supreme
court holds:
That the Standard Oil Company is
a monopoly in restraint of trade.
That this giant corporation must
be dissolved within six months.
Corporations whose contracts are
mot unreasonably restrictive of com
petition" are not affected.
Other great corporations whose
acts may be called into question will
be dealt with according to the merits
of their particular cases.
The court was unanimous as to the
main question of the decision, Justice
Harlan dissenting only as to the linn.
itation of the application of the Sher-
man antitrust law.
President Taft and cabinet will
consider Immediately the entire trust
situation and the advisability OF
pressing for federal incorporation
act.
A decision in the tobacco trust
case. which was expected simultan
eously, was not announced, but may
be handed down on May 10Th.

4 VERY AGREEABLE SURPRISE

The big sale which opened at the
Globe a week ago Saturday has been
a grand success from the opening
hour to late last night. While Mr..
Goldman expected a large business
at the prices he had advertised, he
was very agreeably surprised at the
amount of goods disposed of every
day during the seven, which the sale
has been running Besides extensive
newspaper advertising he has pla-
carded the public roads leading to
Ocala with announcements that the
big sale is in progress Yesterdays
sales so far exceeded the expecta-
lions of the proprietor that he wore
one of those smiles that won't come
off" all day long and up to late hour
last night The people all over this
part of Florida have learned to ex-
pect greater bargains when the Globe
starts something" and the immense
business of the past week proves that
they are not mistaken. This big
money raising event will continue for
some days longer. and those who miss
attending will be losing an opportu'
nifty that does not come every day to
get seasonable goods at sure enough
reductions in price.

THE GOVERNOR AND THE LEGIs
LATURE

The constitution of the state OF
Florida makes it the duty of the gov
ernor to communicate his recommen-
dations to the legislature by message.
The presumption is that the governor
is in a position to know something
about what is needful legislation.
He was put in office by the people
for that purpose. If he were to fail
to do so he would be unmindful OF
the duties of his high office.
The presumption of the constltu-
ton is also that these recommends
lions are to be read and duly consid-
cred by the legislature. But the
governor is not responsible for the
behavior of that body. 1t is supreme
in it's own way. But it seems to us
that it should act with proper cour-
tesy and decOrum.
The governors messages have been
upon subjects upon which the people
are supposed to be vitality interested.
They have been dignified and cour
teous and respectful in every way.
In turning them down, refusing to
have them read, thus "snubbing' the
governor will rebound on the legisla-
ture and not on the governor.
Indeed, the governor is growing
bigger and bigger every day, and has
strengthened himself with the people

GOLD is DISCOVERED BY CHICK
EMS CRAW

A nugget taken from the craw of a
chicken which Mrs. J. NJ. Pace was
preparing for a dinner led to an in
vestigation which resulted in discov-
ering pure virgin gold on a space of
about ten acres, on the Louisville &
Nashville railroad, near Vonore, Mon
roe county, thirty miles from Knox
vile. There has been much contro-
versy concerning the find in Monroe
county by many doubling people, but
from positive assertions by DR.. Luz
cius P. Brown of Nashville and other
competent chemists, there appears
no doubt but that the precious metal
is there. Each pan of this pay dirt"
when washed, reveals from ten to
fifty cents worth of precious metal,
according to report. The pay dirt"
is not more than five or six feet below
the surface of the earth, it is stated.
J. w. Moody, Mrs. PAGES father,
was the first prospector to discover
the gold. On being told of the find
in the craw of the chicken, Mr..
Moody, who for a number of years
was a prospector in Georgia gold
fields, piled little pan, with which
he had washed many tons of pay
dirt" and began prospecting along a
small stream, in the ten-acre tract
With little difficulty, he declares, he
found that the land was rich in vir-
gin gold.-Orlando Reporter-Star.
