AMERICA NAMED BY GERMAN
Martin WaldseemuIler Published First Map With That Title Given
 the New World.

Tn the interesting town of St. Die, in French Lorraine, there was recent ly held a celebration of special inter est to the people of this side of the world, and in lesser degree to Spain and Italy. It was in honor of the four hundredth anniversary of the publica- tion there of the geographical work or Martin Waldseemuller, in which Amer lea was suggested as the name of the New World
 There have been many theories and much controversy as to the origin or the name America. and not few have resented the slight which was put upon Columbus in this connection. Some have denounced Amerigo Yes pucci-who. like Columbus, was an Italian sailing under the flag of Spain flor stealing the glory due the real discoverer. - But the chief wrong, if any was done. was committed by the German geographer in the book which was published in 1907. and on the map which he published year or so later On that map the name America was applied, however. only to the southern part of the New World. The northern part was called Parias.
 It is possible, perhaps probable. that vespucci. not Columbus. first reached the mainland of America: and 1t was vespucci who grasped the important fact that a new continent had beer found. and not simply part of Asia Of that fact Columbus died in ignor ance.
 But rightly or wrongly, the name i, of Amerigo Vespucci. trader. travelel I and writer. was given to the NeV World. and given to remain forever And now a lofty tower rises amont | the hills of Lorraine to commemorate the suggestion which resulted in tn' | designation.

CAN'T FIND HAPPINESS
OLD MoNEYBAes IS BOTH A PLU.
 TocRAT AND PAUPER.
He Has Amassed Great Wealth and Lost All That Was Best
 In Him.

 His name works magic at the bank. His check is good for millions. His vaults are stuffed with stocks and bonds. But his dollars have an actual value of five cents each.
 He is bloated with riches and writh- ing in poverty-he's plutocrat and pauper at the same time.
 Fate has made an ass of him-she has given him all the cash he asked for, but she omitted the formula that gives 1t value.
 He has the lock, but he can't ind the key-he doesn't know what to do with his money.
 He is a lineal descendant of King Midas-he learned the golden touch. but he can't control it's power. In his madness for millions he has trans muted all the realities of life into use less trash.
 He placed his springtime in the minting press-he turned all his hopes and all his visions into coin-stamped all the tenderness out of his heart and milled the peace of his soul.
 Year by year he went on amassing wealth and just as steadily losing all that was best in him. All that was kindly-all that was joyous-he turned to dross.
 Now in his silver age he is yearn. ing for his golden youth.
 There Is an ache that he doesn't un- derstand-a hungry hole in his breast where godly heritages shriveled and died from disuse. 3
 He cant enjoy himself-he isn't trained for the job.
 His rapacity destroyed his capacity to comprehend the big message.
 He owns yacht. but it's drifting argosy with dead sails-with all his wealth he can't make 1t carry him into the land of dreams.
 He can't see-he can't hear-greed has dulled his eye-made him color blind-none of the wonders of life has meaning.
 For him the mountain summits art bare-the flowers have died on the slopes and the north winds have locked the brooks and silenced the waterfall.
 He is a man without illusions-s moral cripple-a Croesus starving fl his treasure vaults.
 When you were wrapping yourself in ideals. he was rapping our ideas.
 You have only sold your services he has put every drop of his blood in to the market-and the joke of 1t al is that he had to wait until winter be fore he found that every dollar Is no the same size-that it's purchasint power varies with the individual.
 He has overpaid. No man gets ou of existence more than his legitimat allotment. If he gains in one diree ton, he loses compensating some thing in another way.
 The price of the kings crown 1 heavy with heartache. The meanss subject in his kingdom can marry . he wills, but the mightiest of nor state,
 The embezzler defaults with proI erty that he did not earn, but fror that moment every hour of every da Is haunted with the dread of detection
 The roisterer indulges himself every whim and wflfulness. but se ties the bill when his wasted vitalit exposes him to disease against whic the continent man has stored sufl cient energy to defend himself.
 Old John Moneybags has the pric of every form of enjoyment, but h can't locate the trails that lead happiness.
 It isn't. the size of mans roll. b, the size of mans soul that counts Woman's World.

LET US BE FAIR

Before believing all of the dis
 crediting reports against Delegate Cameron the voters of the Territory owe it to themselves and to the future welfare of the coming State of Arizona to carefully weigh the evidence presented by both poiit-
 ical parties. Mir. Cameron's atti- tude in the statehood matter was, in our humble opinion, the only possible course for him to pursue, in view of the fact that President Taft made it very plain to him that he would not approve the con- stitution. The policy adopted by some newspapers and speakers in an endeavor to make political cap ital out of Mir. Cameron's stand on the statehood question is inane to say the least. The Post is not 8 party paper of any sort whatever, but 1t believes in giving the devil his just dues. In stating that MT
 Cameron is entitled to great credit for his service in securing state. hood and many other important things for Arizona, we are not dis paraging in any manner whatever the ability of Mark Smith or oi Henry Ashurst, his opponents for seat in the senate. We realize that party papers and party candj- dates must of necessity, according to the general rules of the political game. belittle the record of the op
 position, but when this method is carried too far by either side the intelligent voter can be depended upon to readily see it's unfairness and vote accordingly.-Parker Post

Tallahassee, May 26.-Speaker Jen-
nings tonight passed the Stokes senate
bill relating to the Pensacola charter
He amended the bill by striking out
the first seven words of paragraph
two of section eighteen and all of
paragraph three The bill will go back
to the senate with the amendments.
Mr.. Jennings said in an interview
that he had received fifteen kilograms
tonight from the best men in Pensa-
cola endorsing his stand and that he
expected petitions tomorrow of the
same character and asking him not to
oppose Sunday baseball. He stated
emphatically that he was not opposed
to Sunday baseball, and his action in
striking only the first seven words of
paragraph two, relating to that, he
cites as evidence.
The Floyd fish bill, while a local
measure, excited considerable atten-
ton tonight on account OF the acri
monious debate between Floyd and
Gornto. The latter amended the bill
to make the closed season for Frank
lin conform to the state laws. The bill
was lost by a close vote.
The general Sunday baseball bill,
which failed to pass the senate today,
was placed under reconsideration to-
night. and was lost by tie vote of
eleven, Stokes spoke fPr the bill.
The senate tonight Voted to recall
from the house the West resolutions
for the referendum. 1t Is understood
that Gov. Gilchrist is using his in
fluence to defeat the measure.

MR.. JENNINGS AND
THE CHARTER BILL
w. A. Blount
Opposes the
Charter Bill
By J. q. Reese.


Tallahassee, May 26.-Written
on letter paper of the law firm of
Blount & Blount & Carter, attor-
neys and counsellors at law, Pen
sacola, Fla, under the date Of
May %, 1911, the following letter
has been received by Representa-
tive Mcleod:
"Hon-& W. A. Mcleod, Tallahas-
see, Fla
Dear Mr.. Mcleod: Mr.. Stokes
has introduced into the senate
and probably has passed by this
time a bf1I to amend the charter OF
the city Of Pensacola
1T contains many features, none
Of which, so far as I know, have
been endorsed by the council or
any representative here. It seems
to be, from a cursory reading, a
change in our revenue system and
is a decided change so far as pub
lie utilities are concerned. 1t de-
signs to give the city council the
right to regulate these corpora
tions, even to the extent Of regu-
lating rates. I know of no COM
plants here about rates and the
power to regulate has heretofore
been exercised by the city rea-
sonably and without resistance by
these corporations and there seems
no necessity for a bill Of this
kind.
Embodied in the bill, and evil
IDENTIFY intended to be hidden, is
provision for Sunday baseball, as
to which also, SO far as I know,
the public opinion has not been
taken.
Il will be pleased if you can see
your way clear to oppose the bill
and use your influence against it.
Yours sincerely,
(Signed) 'W. A. BLOUNT."
