MR.. BLOUNT WITH
THE STATE EDITORS
VIII Lead in First Primary,

The Blount Club in Escambia coun-
ty is probably the largest political or
ganization formed in this state since
the republicans were voted out of
power in 1875, comprising in the
ne1ghborhood of two thousand quail
ned voters. The membership is
being increased every day, and the
PENSACOLA candidate bids fair to re-
celVe ninety per cent of the vote
polled in the county in the senatorial
primary OF January 10th. With the
strong backing Col. Blount will re-
ce1ve III West Florida it begins to
look as il he will lead by a large vote
in the first primary. John Stockton
and Col. Blount have both undoubted.
ly grown in favor with the people dur.
Ing the past three weeks and the indi.
cations are that the race will be be.
tween these two candidates in the sec.
ond primary.-Gainesvill Sun.

Only Said Good Niuht.

On reaching MS home town Tor the
holidays, Mr.. Blount said that his
voice had been heard in fifty towns in
Florida, and, in speaking to audiences,
some large, some small that his voice
had not failed him, but on returning
to his. hcme town and beholding the
demonstration in his favor he was
overwhelmed, and his voice failed
him. He could only say that it was
the happiest moment of his life, and
saying which he said good night

Decision in Favor
OF States Rights.

One of the first official acts OF the
new chief Justice of the supreme court
was to render decision in the famous
case in which the government was
suing the New York World for libel
in the Panama canal matter. Presi-
dent Roosevelt had the suit instituted
in the federal court, contending that
because copies of the World circulated
in Washington it was not a matter to
be brought before the state courts.
At the time the case was instituted
it created considerable unfavorable
comment by the press of the country
which seemed 70 think it was an effort
on the part of the president to get
even'' with the publisher Of the New
York World
The decision does not deal with the
possibility of libel in the case, wheth-
er the matter was nbelous or not.
The court holds that the federal court
had no jurisdiction over the alleged
offense, because the case should have
been brought in the state courts.
This decision is received with
pleasure by the friends and advocates
OF states rights, who resent the inter.
ference of the federal government in
the affairs of states.

Of a total annual gold output
of $420,00O,OOO, the arts and
industries consume 25 per cent.
The baIance is added to the gold
reserves in the Various treasures
Of the world and in the metallic
supplies and reserve banks, says
the Wall Street Journal.
In silver a large proportion of
the annual product is used
industrially. From a product of
POP, 100000 ounces produced in
1909 it is figured that probably
65, 100000 ounces are consumed
industrially and for coinage
purposes among the chief silver
producing nations in North and
South America. Coinage demands
just now represent a comparatively
small part of this total.
An charging feature of the
industrial demand for both gold
and silver is found in the takings
of India. The United States mint
bureau estimated that out of $l13,-
1850 of gold consumed in this
way, British India took $35,976
206, or 26 per cent in 1908. OF
81, 1886. 900 ounces of silver, India
alone took 81, 84O,50O ounces as
her share.
