The Calamity Howler.

A dog sat out in the midnight chill and
howled at the beaming moon; his knowl-
edge of music was strictly nil and his
voice was out of tune. And he howled
and howled as the hours went by, while
lodging the bricks we threw, till the moon
was low in the western sky, and his voice
was split in two. And there wasn't a
thing at which to howl over which a pup
should weep, and the course of the dog
was wrong and foul, for people were wild
to sleep. There are plenty OF mon like that
blamed fool hound, who yell when there's
nothing wrong, disturbing the country
with senseless sound-the pessimist's dole
full song.-Fai1play F7ume.

The Fight for Naval Supremacy.

From the Nashville Christian Advocate
With the new American dreadnaught
Utah now in commission, and the dread
naught Florida nearing completion, the
naval experts declare that the United
States has in these two fighting chips the
largest and most formidable that are now
afloat. While Great Britain has the
largest aggregate of fighting ships, with
Germany and the United States contesting
for second place, it is conceded that our
latest dreadnaughts outclass in size and
strength anything in England's or Ger
many's navy. But the struggle for SUI
premacy will continue. The BIRTHS h
dreadnaughts Lion and Orion, now in
course of construction, will exceed in
tonnage and strength the Utah and Flor
ida, and Germany is doing some ship
building also. Then last week the keel
was laid for the United States super
dreadnaught New York, which outranks
by two thousand tons the largest British
ships under construction. But this does
not settle the contest, for it is announced
that British designers are planning the
Queen Mary, of $4,000 tons; while our
uper-dreadnaught New York is only
81 900 tons. Thus it will be seen that the
fight ior naval supremacy among the
three great nations is an unending one,
and the realization of this fact is bring
ing the people of these nations to see more
clearly the necessity of agreeing to sub
NIT to arbitration their international diff
ferences. Perhaps, after all, our invest
ments in fighting ships will pay.

The Southern People.
[Bentztown Bard in Baltimore Sun, !

lDehtZtoWn bard IN baltlmOre sun.
Kindly, loveable, friendly,
Believing in all things true,
Sincere and noble and valiant
like such people, don't you?
Self-centered in kindly doing
Instead of self-centered in self,
And not made wild in pursuing
The will-o'-the wisp of pelf.
Reared in the old traditions
OF birth and breeding and blood,
And true to the old conditions
Unchanged by the battle flood
OF life lived purely and solely
For all that is best in life
like them, noble people,
Stern-tried by noble strife!
Gentle and gracious and cultured,
Lofty and properly proud,
SO far removed from the vulgar,
So nobly aloof from the loud;
A plain and simple people
Who consider it still no sin
To believe that the noblest greatness
Is the greatness that's found within.
Thoughtful, considerate, tender,
Lovers of life in the bowers
Where the mockingbird sings in the twilight.
And the world is world of flowers.
Gentlemen, always gentlemen;
Women to womanhood true;
Brave and patient and trusting
! like such people, don't you?

SOMETHING ABOUT THE RECALL.

The question of "recall" will, no doubt,
come up at the next session of our Legis-
lature, and a law should be enacted en-
bodying the provisions of that excellent
system. 1t provides for the recall OF an
official who is found to be incompetent or
corrupt On petition of 80 or 40 per
cent of the voters of the district an cleo
ton is called, and upon majority vote
the unworthy official is put out of office.
A competent and trustworthy official
cannot object to this, and needs no fears.
It is only the incompetent, and those who
betray the people, who object to it, The
majority elect, and the majority should
have the power to also vote that official
out of office when necessary.
Some of the newspapers that favor the
recall, favor the exemption of judges of
courts. There should be no exemptions
We do not see why they should be ex-
cepted. 1t is argued that the ''recall"
hanging over their heads "would destroy
the independence of the judges"
An impartial and honest judge need
have no fear of being recalled. On the
contrary, he would probably be reelected.
But, if minority should be mistaken in
calling for an election, and the majority
voted to retain the judge in office, this
would be an additional expression of con-
fdence and make him stronger with the
people. A man worthy of a position on
the bench would not wish to occupy the
position when he had lost the confidence
of the people. And those who had lost
such confidence should be voted out.

LaSale Ledger: The disposition to die
tate on the part of the office holding set is
growing more and more, and whenever a
man is elected who refuses to bow down to
the ring and do their bidding, then all the
powers that be are set in motion to secure
his defeat, which is generally accomplished
through vicious SANDER which the public
usually accepts as fact without any in
vestigation whatever.

Life Insurance Companies
They Are Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions

An examining physician for one Of
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in an interview on the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
the reason why so many applicants .or
insurance are rejected is because kid
ney trouble is so common to the Amer
lean people, and the large majority of
applicants do not even suspect that
they have the disease.
He states that judging from his own
experience and reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one PREF aration
that has probably been more success
full in relieving and curing these dis
eases than any remedy known. The
mild and healing influence of DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root is soon realized. ,,
stands the highest for its remarkable
record Of cures.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad-
wise our readers who feel in need OF
such remedy to give 1t trial. 1t IS
on sale at all drug stores in bottles oi
two iszes-ffty- cents and one-dollar.
However, If you wish first to test its
wonderful merits, send to DR.. Kilmer &

Blountstown, Jan. 24.-Judge Chas.

TO vote for the West Florida candidate
for United States senator. Judge
Laney is an entertaining speaker and

Of the good work that can be done

and that If We DO not stick together
that We will soon be without repre-
sentation.
The judge also took occasion TO
tell of the untrue charges that Mr..
Bryan was making against Mr.. Blount
and that he had always failed to pro-
duce the proofs. Judge Laney said
Bryan was trying to take credit for
Broward's great work and that Bry-
ans head in Broward's hat looked
like hickerynut in a quart cup.
