FLOURNOY AND THE BIRD or
FREEDOM

In a letter replying to one from
the executive office notifying him
that his communications with the
governor must be made through the
governors private secretary. Senator
Flournoy astrides the American ca
gle-our glorious bird of freedom
and shoots back the following:
81 will say to you at this time, that
neither in the senate nor elsewhere
have | discussed the governor person
ally. but have confined my state
ments to making the proper analysis
Oh his message or messages to the
senate with the sole purpose, in ODE
dience to my obligations as a citizen,
as an official and to the love for and
admiration of the institutions of our
government, the priceless heritage of
our fathers, of preserving esteem
and respect both in our minds and in
the minds of the masses, for the re-
spective coordinate branches of our
government, whose origin is as di-
vine as it is charming to you and to
me as loyal citizens, and as it is al
Turing to the foreigners of despotic
countries, stealthy reflections and I'M
due entertainments upon which co-or-
dinate branches-the one as vitality
essential and important as the other
is abhorrent to the instincts of an
American, and certainly should not
be tolerated by the officials of one
department when directed from one
and against the othehr. If the Off
Gals, irrespective of the personal
feelings regarding the individual, do
not cautiously and Zealously safe
guard and preserve this element of
loyalty to our form of government,
certainly we cannot expect such OBJ
servance by the masses and their
children"
AS long as the Declaration of indie
pendence is to be read at natal day
celebrations and the blood that was
spilled at Bunker Hill is to stir the
patriotic ardor of loyal, freedom
American citizens, the composition of
Senator Flournoy will be admired
and read with flourish of trumpets.
The dignity of the executive and
legislative departments of our state
government must be maintained at
all hazards.

This paper is profoundly sorry that
Governor Gilchrist vetoed the anti
convict lease system bill, but it is
extremely happy that a majority of
both houses of the legislature had hui
man sympathy enough to put their
condemnation upon it. If there be
such place, this system has sent
more Florida people to hell and will
continue to do so as long as it is in
existence, than anything else that
We know of. If the churches in llis
state want to fight real evil they
are permitting a mighty good oppor-
tunity to escape them. Those letters
printed in the Atlanta Georgian are
heart-rending. Get the Georgian and
read them. Their contents are
enough to make ones heart weep
blood.

Nor sicken as the seasons fly.
Nor in her sweet serenitude,

Nor in her hayward womanhood,

For though he hath some touch OF

Yet love lives not in this desire.
Nor in her virtues manifold,
Her faults-and some of these

Nor in her woman's heart of gold,

is LOVE A MYSTERY?

HERBERT spencer was the greatest
of modern thinkers, but there are
many wise ones who think that he
came a cropper when he undertook
to analyze and dissect the nature of
love, the eternal theme of poets, mu-
sicians, novelists and artists. Love,
said Spender, in effect, is kind of
psychological rag-out made up of
many and divers ingredients. First
you love your inamorata because she
is a woman-the matter of sex attrac-
ton. Secondly, because she loves
you and prefers you to others, and
thinks you the grandest fellow in the
world, which is very fattering, and
agrees with your own opinion. Then,
you exercise a certain authority over
the beloved, and in measure own
her-or think you do, and that graft
hes the instinct of proprietorship.
Then there are common interests,
service, mutual confidence and doz-
en- other things that combine to make
the tender passion as Spencer calls
it, a decidedly agreeable experience
under favorable conditions. Love is
fine, like the young lady in the old
saying, is made of sugar and spice
and everything NICE" and for this
reason is really worth while, if you
have time for it.
But the poets will have none of this
doctrine. 1t is treason to King Eros,
they aver, and in earthly explanation
of a celestial phenomenon. We are
publishing herewith, from the pages
of the May number of the Florida
Review, a poem by Mr.. Sydney Clark
Haley, in which the poets point of
view is set forth in detail-it is the
whole philosophy of love compressed
into a single short lyric. Love, ac-
cording to this theory, is sui generis,
a thing apart, of divine origin, and not
capable of analysis. Back of Mr. Ha-
ley stand the poets in a solid pha-
lanx. They all say the same thing,
and they speak as those having au-
thority, for most of them were con-
noisseurs in this divine art of loving,
such as oft enamored Goethe, a gen
tleman of universal tastes; the gay
Byron, who adored by wholesale, and
the irrepressible Burns, who could
fudge up a profound affection for any
thing young, pretty and feminine at
an hours notice. Spencer, on the 9th
er hand, never had a sweetheart, and
he was never kissed-he let the cat
out of the bag when he promulgated
the theory that people kiss because
kisses taste good-which would make
the greenest lover groan with deris-
ion! Sc sutor ultra crepidam.
Let us dismiss Mr.. Spencer and
make way for the poets. In this poem
Mr.. Haley tells what loves reason is,
and we find it to be Just because"
which is somewhat vague, to be sure,
if taken as an abstraction, but seems
to be ample from a practical point of
view, for this is what lovers have
been telling their sweethearts from
the time of Adam down:

THE STANDARD OIL DECISION

Bankers and business men oi 'ne

daoision in the standard Oil Company
case and think it Will allay lurthei
dros+ic LEGISLATION, which is so hurt-
FIJI to business interests, and leau -
more healthful business condltlohs'
For instance, the mayor OF ForIiaAu'
,1oipa saws. 1.-THE country feels re-
lieved to have the Standard OlI case
settled Goyernemnt must be SUI
nreme but cannot afford to be I'M
reasonable. 1t should be the Oesih-
ming of more dee conditions Vi

the foundations for another industrlal
advance.
George Gould says that he THINKS
that it will put an end to any more
federal legislation which unsetties
business, and of which the country
has had too much already. Andre"
r. Jones. president of the State Bus
mess Mems Association of Connectl-
cut. thinks that it will ultimately be
of benefit to the Standard Oil Com
pany itself, because it will Kno"
where sit is at.
Along this line the World OF May
18th says:
There were unusually heavy trans
actions in both American Tobacco
and Standard Oil on the curb yester-
day. These stocks are generally
very inactive, but yesterday over
1000 shares of American Tobacco
changed hands, the stock advancing
from 474 to 500, and reacting at the
close to 1872. Standard Oil advanced
from 665 to $50 on sales of Az
shares"
Again:
The broard and active stock mar
ket which followed the announcement
of the United States supreme court
decree in the Standard Oil case con-
tinued yesterday, and heavy adyanc-
es were again scored, not only among
the purely speculative shares but in
the Standard investment stocks as
we'll. The rise extended from a frac-
ton to four points, and the last pric-
es were near the highest of the day"
