Mr.. HLoUNT's DEFEAT


The election returns of Tuesdays
primary still point to the defeat Of
the Hon. w. A. Blount of Pensacola.
Handicapped as he was, the distin-
guished Pensacolian made a magnifi-
cent race. He carried his home coun
fy and the counties Immediately adj
joining it by an almost unanimous
vote. He polled splendid vote in
other sections, showing that the whole
people of the state are not controlled
soul and body by corporate hate.
Mr.. Blount was accused of being a.
railroad attorney, which accusation
he never denied, but during the prog
ress of the campaign his railroad con-
nection, purely in professional way,
arose to colossal proportions, and
built up a prejudice against him as
tall as the peaks of the Himalayas.
He was burdened with all the sins of
that road, actual and imaginary,
which from little mole hills in some
instances quickly assumed the magni-
tude of mountains. One gentleman
said in our office on the night of the
election that he entertained no preju-
dice against any railroad on earth ex-
cept the L. & N. He cited an instance
of the meanness of that road, the
truth of which he vouched for He
said that one of its conductors was
killed, and in paying the salary due
him to his widow the officials of the
road deducted the price of the con-
ductor's punch, which was lost in the
wreck "And them" said he, ''vote for
a man connected with a road like
that? No! the Florida crackers would
die first!"
Considering the prejudice that he
was forced to encounter, it is a won
der that Mr.. Blount polled as many
votes as he did.
Every drummer, almost without ex
ception, coming out of Jacksonville
was Bryan boomer, and poisoned thu
minds of the country merchants witt
stories against Mr.. Blount, and tn
country merchants in turn retaile'
them to their customers.
Neither one of the Jacksonville no
the Tampa newspapers gave MI
Blount the "helping hand" The on
could not repress the "hog spirit" c
wanting it all, and the other the spirit
of jealousy as port of entry.
Then Mr.. Thomas Watson, not sa
itsfied with having politics by the ear
in Georgia, issued his edict to the POI
ulist cohorts in Florida, to "stand u
for Bryan"
The above are only few of tn
handicaps with which Mr.. Blount ell
tered the campaign, and it is a grea
wonder that he made the splendi
race that he did,
He admittedly stands at the head {
his profession in Florida, and if h
could have been elected he woul
have given our state a reputation
which we all could have rejoiced. H
would easily have measured up wit
the most distinguished lights in ths
august tribunal
His friends rejoice that he made
clean and honorable campaign, an
from start to finish hooted at the art
and articles of the politician and den
agogue.

BAR AGAINST THE RECALL

The American Bar Association
adopted the following resolutions in
opposition to the application of the
recall to the judiciary, presented in
the report of special committee
appointed for that purpose and com
posed of the following noted lawyers:
Francis Rawle, H. St. George Tucker,
Alton B. Parker J. NJ Dickinson,
Frederick W. Lehman and Charles
f. Libby:
Resolved, That the application to
judges of the principle Of recall would
create judiciary whose decisions
would not rest upon the law of the
land but would be Influenced by
transient public sentiment and that
the establishment of such judiciary
would be destructive Of our system of
government.
We believe that the aim OF the ad-
vocates of this change is directly the
/ reverse of that of the fathers Of the
republic who ought to establish "a
4 government of laws and not Of men.

THE RIGHT OF PROPERTY.

Asserting that 10th former Presi-
dent Roosevelt and William ]. Bryan
had played on the phrase property
right as opposed to human rights" un-
til it seemed that possession of wealth
was wrong, Bishop w. A. Gambler Of
the Southern Methodist church for
Georgia, in sermon at Atlanta, made
spirited defense OF property rights.
He argued that the right of property
belonged to every person, and is in 1t
self human right; hence can not be
considered as the rival of any other
human right. He says 1t is not sound
to say that whatever the right of
property conflicts with the right of
liberty the former must yield, and be-
lieves that the right of life, of liberty
and Of property is each supreme in its
sphere.
He says it is to be regretted that
this catchy phrase has tended to
impair respect for the right of proper
ty, leading many into the delusion that
it is such an inferior right that it is
scarcely above the level of wrong
He concludes that there is no worse
form of socialism than this, and that
in the end it bears as heavily on the
poor as on the rich.

DID NOT KNOW KENYON.
Landlord Of Hotel Refused to Serve
Him Breakfast.

WEBSTER CITY, Iowa, Sept. o.
Refused breakfast at the hotel and
told to go out to the kitchen, where
the women might possibly give him
handout, was the experience Senator
w. S. Kenyon had the other day In
Delaware, small town in Delaware
county. He had spoken IN a nearby
town the day before and to make his
next date was obliged to take an early
morning train to Delaware, where
later he was met by an automobile
and conveyed to his speaking point.
He arrived in Delaware before break
fast and went to the hotel, where he
inquired for something to eat. He was
very hungry. The landlord, between
puffs from large corncob pipe, in
formed the senator, whom he took for
a fresh drummer that breakfast
was served in that hotel at regular
hours and nothing could be had be-
tween those hours. The senator look
ed so crestfallen at this statement
that the hotel man softened just lit
tie and told the senator IL he would
go out to the kitchen perhaps the wo-
men folks would give him a handout
This was just a little beneath the
senatorial dignity. however. so the
senator did not avail himself of the
opportunity. A fellow wayfarer in the
stuffy lobby, however, offered the
senator big red apple. The senator
took it. While he was eating it big
auto whizzed UP in front Of the hotel
and Senator Kenyon was whisked
away.
The landlord of the Delaware hote
was noticeably perturbed when he
found out soon after he had refused
to feed one Of the United States sen
ators from his own state.

Tough Luck.

Keosauqua Republican: 1t is just
our luck! When eggs were thirty cents
a dozen last winter, we didn't happen
to have one to sell, and when, a year
ago, hogs brought $40 hundred, we
didn't have a blessed porker on the
place. And now every exchange we
pick up is likely to tell of some fell
low hauling wagon load of timothy
seed to town and as quid pro quo
bringing back home certificate of
bank deposit amounting to enough to
buy run-about, but nary pound of
old Timothy Hanson's name-sake have
we. And then again there is that
story of the Iowa farmer who raised
seven tons of alfalfa to the acre,
which he sold at $40 a ton--a yield
of $40 to the acre-and here we are
paying fifty cents peck for potatoes
and wondering where the winters

Iowa an Apple state.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: A fruit
farmer in southwestern Iowa has just
sold his apple crop for $4,000. The
man in question has a 53-acre or
chard, and his crop of apples amounts
to fifty-three car loads.
That sounds like some Of the fairy
tales that have emanated from Ore
gon, Idaho and Washington, where
everybody-or most everybody-is
said to be just rolling in wealth, and
where the orchards refuse to do any
thing but yield enormously, and where
fruit raising $50 it is inferred-a
pastime rather than work.
With all due respect to Oregon, and
Washington and Idaho, and other
Utopias, it is worth while rejecting
for a moment on the profit that has
come to the fruit farmer in south.
