change has been wrought with
past twelve months.
Since the last annual conference
on the fly pest, le;ters have poured
in upon the committee from ell
quarters of the country. asking for
advice on the best methods of ex-
terminating the house-fly. The com
mittee caused to be printed and CIR
culated upwards of 10000 pieces Of
literature, which served as ammu-
nition in innumerable Hy-swatting
campaigns. In a number of cities,
school children competed for cash
prizes for compositions which would

Can Afford
To Laugh.

Seldom in political fights does one
side gain such a point of vantage that
the members can sit back and have a
good, hearty laugh, no matter which
way the tide goes, but such is the
unique position the Democrats are now
. occupying, and from all appearances
= they are enjoying the situation to the
e utmost, and the Republicans cannot
find ground for even a forced smile.
It's painful in the extreme for them.
No matter which way the game goes
the Democrats must win and the Re-
publicans must necessarily be losers.
If the Republicans pass the reci-
procity agreement and the farmers
free list, it viii be an acknowledge
ment to the voters that what the Dem
ocrats have been contending for for
years is right and that they did not
acknowledge it until they were cor
nered and had no way of escape, while
on the other hand, II the Republican
senators fail to pass the bills. they will

times before, of being against the
common man and favoring the special
interests.
Either will mean a sweeping Demo
cratic victory.

Republicans to continue their old con-
tention for protection. when they have

Pensacola Is enjoying the distinct
honor Of having the Council Of the
Diocese of Florida meeting within it's
gates this week. Especially is it a
distinct honor in that the twenty fifth
anniversary of Bishop Edwin Garden
Weed will be concentrated at this
time.
Usually on the anniversary of a
bishops service some token is given to
him by the people of the diocese, which
tells of the love and esteem of the
people. These gifts are in some form
one time and in a different one the
next, but seldom is it the custom to
create an endowment fund to com
memorate an event of this kind, the
income of which Is to be used toward
paying the salary OF the bishop of the
diocese.
Such an endowment fund will be one
of the greatest honors that can be con-
ferred upon so worthy and good afman
as Bishop Weed, for long after he has
been called to his reward the fund
will stand to commemorate his good
and faithful work.
n 1t is proposed to make the fund fifty
thousand and 1t will be made possible
by the many members of the church
throughout the diocese. The humblest
member will have share in this great
work, and, as Bishop Weed has often
said, the dimes of the poor cheerfully
given are more precious in the sight of
God than the thousands of dollars
given unwillingly by the millionaires.
During his twenty-fiv years SER
vice Bishop Weed has truly been a
friend to his people and to Florida.
He came to Florida from Georgia, but
he could not be more consecrated to
duty If he were laboring among the
people of his birth. The members of
the churches in the small country
towns have been given the same share
of his services as have the larger
churches, and during the entire time
he has given more to the cause than
his salary amounted to: He has not
been satisfied to give his life to the
work, but his substance has been
given as well.
About twenty nine years ago Bishop
Weed visited Mr.. w. K. Hyer, of this
city. He was not known to Mr.. Hyer
at the time, but he came with another
invited guest and the party spent a
week in the woods on a camp hunt.
1t was his unselfish, thoughtful con-
sideration of other members of the
party that possibly had something to
do with the fact that he is now bishop
of Florida.
After the hunting trip Bishop Weed
returned to his home in Augusta, Geor-
gia, and several years later when the
council met in Tallahassee the mem
bers could not decide upon any certain
one to select for bishop. The name of
Edwin G. Weed was suggested. Mr..
Hyer arose and said that as a rector
he did not know anything about him,
but on a camp hunt he was an ideal
