A bill 10 abolish the fee system OF
paying county officials and to put them
on salary basis will be introduced in
the Legislature by Representative Single
tary of Jackson county. Under this plan
the clerk and the sheriff of Putnam
county would each receive $1,000 per
year; the tax collector and assessor,
each, 1900; the county judge $1,000,
and the county treasurer $3.50. The sup
erintendent of public schools is not list
ed in the bill, and it is therefore pre-
Sumed that he will work for his clothes
at some other profession and furnish his
own board. The fee system has its
abuses, but under its operation the Of
fetal may be said TO earn what he gets.
The salary system would not be with
out its abuses. In fact the bill of Rep
resentative Singletary is full of places
where they would crop out were it 10
become law.

SUBTLE VENGEANCE.

The Gift Dumas Bestowed on Friend
Who nsuIted Him.
Alexandra Dumas the elder, the
great novelist, had, as is well known,
some black blood in his veins and was
of an unforgiving if not almost cruel
nature. In his earlier days he re-
ceived dire insult from one whom
he called his friend. To the surprise
of all who knew him Alexandra took
no apparent notice of the wrong, but
instead applied himself to looking
carefully after the welfare Of his sup
posed friend He took him with him
into society, introduced him here, pre-
scented him there and so continued for
three years, at the end of 1hich time
he stood as best man" at his friends
marriage.
The wedding feast being concluded.
Alexandra Dumas was leaving the
house when an acquaintance Joined
him and as they walked along said:
Il have often wished to say how |
have wondered at your great kindness
to NJ. X, whom we have just seen
married. You have the most fOrgiv-
ing nature that | have ever met with.
He insulted you grossly some years
ago, and yet ever since you have de-
voted yourself to his happiness and
at last assisted him to get married"
"That's it precisely" remarked Du.

Senator Root of New York, in his
great speech in the United States Senate
urging the rejection of William
Lorimer of Illinois as member of that
body, among other things, said:
"a senator in congress represents an
average of 1000, 600 people. He has a
decisive voice in legislation. He max eS
and unmakeS treaties. He approves or
rejects high ambassadors and cabinet
members and justices of the supreme
court He sits as Judge in the case of a
president impeached. He is great fig
ure and great power. And we are
asked in the sight of the whole world TO
accept a senator from Illinois whose
credentials reek of the most shameless
iraud 1t was the old familiar arithmetic
of corruption by which Lorimer's vote
was figured out-addition, division and
silence. And the silence has been
broken until the whole country rings
with the scandal Will the senate dare
seat the receptive candidate who at
Springfield held daily counsel with the
buyer of votes, the agent of the jack
pot, the wcarer of the blue belt stuffed
with bank -noteS?"

Senator Fletcher, who was one of the
40 senators to vote for the vindication
of William Lorimer, says that he docs
not believe he has friend in Florida,
whether he be newspaper editor, law
yer, business man or farmer, who would
have voted against Lorimer." Which
shows that Senator Fletcher needs to
get in touch with the people. As law
yer, Senator Fletcher may be technical
ly right concerning the evidence intro
duced in the senate against the Illinois
senator. But he also knows that there
are some things one may know and yet
not be able TO prove. The election of
William Lorimer to the United States
senate through the corrupt use of money
is one of those things. Senator Root is
also a lawycr-a Republican lawyer-yct
he was able TO KNOW, and not able 10
PROVE, the corruption. The great
body of Americans, without regard TO
party affili ltion, KNOW that William
Lorimer obtained his seat by the corrupt
use of money. The democrats of Flori-
da also are satisfied that such is the fact.
Ii Senator Fletcher will put his ear TO
the ground he can hear them-lhe edi-
tor, lawyers, merchants and farmers
saying ii over and over again.

Colored Rain.

Showers of red rain have fallen
more than once in the worlds history
In the middle ages they were looked
upon as awful omens of war and
bloddshed, but nowadays we know the
hue of the rain of blood" to be due
to the presence of tiny red insect, a
variety of water flea. Red rains are
very rare, but in volcanic regions gray
rain Is comparatively common. Sicily
has had many showers of this shade
They are caused by the upper atmos-
phere being full of ash coiofed vol
canic dust from Etna. This dust is
enthusiastically fine and colors the rain
as it falls.

A Fl. Lauderdale dispatch TO the
Miami Metropolis last Thursday stated

Florida Leads in Phosphate.

The United States Geological Survey
reports that the quantity and value oil
phosphate mined in Florida in 1909
were somewhat greater than in 1908,
although South Carolina and Tennes-
see, the other producing States, made
a reduced output. 40 The figures for
Florida are: 1908, IS, 4S4,539; 1909, S.
541, 3O1. The total value of phosphate
mined in the United States in 1909 was
SIC, T2, 12O, as against $11, 800, 124 in
1908. The average price per ton was
slightly lower in 1899
The United States Geological Survey
has just published an advance chapter
from its report entitled "Mineral re-
sources of the United States, calendar

phosphate rock in 1909" by F. B. Van
Horn, which may be obtained free OF

A Good Ace to Stop At,

years given dinner to his employees
on the occasion of the birthday of his
daughter. How long this custom had
held may be gathered from the follow
ing The head clerk of the office rose,
as was also the custom, and proposed
this toast:
Gentlemen, we enjoy this evening
the felicity of celebrating, as we do
every year, thanks to his generosity,
the twenty-nnth birthday of the re-
spected and always amiable daughter
Of our worthy employer. l give you,
gentlemen, her health and happiness"

THE SPECTATOR AND
THE PENALTY.

The report comes that Frank G. Bige
low, the convicted bank wrecker of q
few years ago, has paid the penalty of his
crime and has, or soon will be, released
from prison. Insofar as the demands OF
society are concerned Bigelow has paid
the penalty for his crime, but that term
in the penitentiary was onlya part of the
penalty The loss of his good name
was the other part.
Frank G. Bigelow was president OF the
First National Bank of Milwaukee. He
was defauter for more than million
dollars.
He specialized.
Bigelow was one of the foremost
among Milwaukee business men. He
was director in many financial enter
priseS and member of many social or
CARNATIONS. He held his head high
He had an ideal home. He was point
ed out as a model citizen.
But he specialized.
Several years ago he was elected preSi-
dent of the National Bankers Association
and for a time thereafter was the head
of IFS executive committee. In 1895 he
was made receiver of the Nothern Pacif-
ic railway Financiers every where
consulted with him and esteemed him
But he specialized.
Bigelow'S friends say he was human
itarian. He helped more young business
men up the ladder then any other man in
Milwaukee, No worthy cause appealed
to him in vain. He was an optomist and
helper of civilization. But
He specialized.
Friends of Bigelow say the bankers
son, who was one of the gilded youth
of the city, caused his downfall. Ii is
said the father interviewed to help the
son. Perhaps. Yet when he was asked
how he came TO be defaulter for such
sum the banker replied: 81 started in
a small way, but got in deeper and deep,
er until it was too much for me-"
He specialized.
A banker has no right TO speculate.
Only gambler has any business to spec
ulate. The banker is the only man 10
whom the people loan money without
security. A breach of trust by banker
is a tremendous crime.
And SO BIgelow plunged downward.
He did not fall at once. He speculated.
He began in small way He was
trusted and
He specialized
He has paid the demands of justice
but the penalty? Hardly.

Senator Duncan U. Fletcher was right
in voting against the submission of the
proposed amendment TO the constitution
of the United States providing for the
election of United States senators by di
rect vote of the people. That amend
ment provided for government supervis
ion of elections. 1t was another Force
Bill. Senator Fletcher needs no defense
for that vote, yet he says:
"Under our primary system, for which
we have fought for years, we do not
elect our Senators by popular vote, and
the government can in no way interfere
with our primary ele ctions. 1t would be
absurd for me, Floridian and south
erner, to vote for such a measure Let
the northern states which wish to elect
by direct vote do as we have done, and
make such provision. am willing 10
vote and work for an amendment that
will provide for direct election, but not
when that amendment robS my state of
the right to conduct its own elections.
