AS one studies the map, Governor
Wilson could probably carry every
state west of the Mississippi river

diately, and, east of it, he would
sweep in enough electoral votes
north of the Ohio river to make
some of the strength of the old solid
South superfluous.

corning Governor Wilson, as things
look now, is whether lie did not
arrive too soon. Is he one of those

Santiago De Cuba, Sept. 81
President Tafts recent message to /
congress asking that it be determin- |
ed whether the Spanish men of war
sunk in the battle Of Santiago thir-
| teen years ago should be given away,
| and Secretary KnoX's opinion that
the wrecks belong to the United

| as to the possibility of relocating the
ships Engineers who have studied
the location of the battleships and
two torpedo boats are of the opin-
ion that their salvage is practicable
and would warrant the expense of
saving the hulks

mouth to Santiago harbor lies the

Waxa hachie Light Evidently you eX-
pect to be delegate to the conven-
ton. inasmuch as you speak of see
ing the nomination made. How do
YOU know who can be delegate?
You are not an insider You and the
machine are at outs You do not get
your inspiration from Washington
or Gainesville. and some of your edi-
torials appear to be entirely uncen-
sored and out of line with the pow
ers that be and make delegates. If
YOU want to be delegate. be more
humble. Accept amnesty Forget
most of your democratic training,
Forget most of your lifelong princi-
pies Be a Conservative, and when
YOU can not lead the democrats, kick
them on their calves. That is the way
to political preferment in Texas.
That is the door to your opportunity

RECIPROCITY WILL NOT
TRAVEL AN EASY ROAD

The fact that the bill providing for
the ratification OF the Canadian reci-
procity agreement has been passed by
the House, says the Savannah News,
doesn't mean that the ratification of
the agreement is assured. 1t is very
doubtful If the bill will be passed by
the Senate in it's present shape.
The standpat republicans, at least a
good many of them, are opposed to it
because they see in it the destruction
OF the protective principle. The insur-
gent republicans are against it be-
cause they think it ought to be amend
ed-In fact they decline to support it
unless amended in accordance with
their views. The most of the demo-
Gratis are in favor of it as it stands,
but they are in the minority.
There Is certain to be a long and bit
ter fight over the bill with the pros
pect of it's defeat, unless it is amend
ed. The president is doing all he can
for ratification. In the estimation of
his enemies in his own party he is urg
ing ratification mainly for the purpose
OF advancing his own political for
tunes. 1t doesn't matter much what
they say about it, so far as he is con-
cerned personally, but their talk is
having it's effect upon the people gem
orally, and, hence, there is the lack of
strong public sentiment in behalf of
reciprocity in the sections of the coun-
try represented by the insurgent re-
publican senators. With public senti-
ment Indifferent the insurgent sena-
tors can do pretty much as they please
In regard to the agreement without
losing their hold on the people in their
home states.
If there should be a failure to ratify
the agreement in the Senate it is pref
ty certain that there would be no other
tariff legislation at the extra session
OF Congress AS far as accomplish g
anything the session would amount to
nothing.
The democrats, however, are going
to make a record for doing something
so far as the House is concerned. They
control that branch of Congress, and il
they ratify the Canadian reciprocity

SIMMONS SHOULD LEARN
HOW TO SHOOT
Fort Meade Editor, Free I'm CritiieisB
Of Corrupt Officials, Answered
With n Cow Whip

Fort Meade. April 2S.-Fort Meade
folks were considerably excited last
night over the horsewhipping Of Edi
tor Ernest Il. Simmons of the Fort
Meade Leader by w II. Johnson Of
Barlow.
Mr.. Simmons was walking down the
street when Mr.. Johnosn approached
him and began laying on heartily with
a cow whip. The editor, who was very
much taken by surprise, did not re-
taliate, friends stopping the affair.
The affair arose out of A criticism
which Editor Simmons made of the re-
cent conviction of former Tax Collec-
tor w. o. Jordan and former county
superintendent of Schools s. S. Nib
lick of Barlow, both of whom were
found to be short in their accounts. In
Niblick's case sentence was suspended.
and in Jordan's case fine Of $500 was
imposed. The editor stated in his pa
per that these men had gotten off too
lightly. and alleged further. that when
w. H. Johnson was in office some
twelve years ago, or whereabouts. he
had used part of the county's funds in
his own business and had not been
punished. This was followed by a let
ter from Johnson published in a Bar
tow paper, which letter Simmons re-
produced in his own paper with fur

STEAMER BELLE SANK
In the Choctaw River With Four Of
Her Pansengera

Pensacola, April 2s.-Loaded TO ca
pacity with a five-thousand barrel car
go of naval stores, the river steamer
Belle, from Vernon, Fla, to Pensacola.
sank in a severe fifty-mile gale late
yesterday in the Choctaw river and
four lives were lost.
Captain Fred Burlison, of Pensacola.
Engineer NJ. Belle, of Vernon, and two
children were drowned with the sink
ing steamer. All Of the bodies were
recovered Several members OF the
crew and two passengers barely es-
capped the fate of the unfortunate four.
The vessel and her cargo probably
will be a total loss. The Belle was
one of the largest steamers in the local
river traffic and was valued at $4,000.
She was built at Vernon in 1903. and
had a gross tonnage of 740. This is
the only accident of any consequence
that has bee nreported a result OF
the severe storm which swept the Gulf
coast.
