| dental benefits which accompany the
burden of the tariff levied even foi
revenue.
Referendum and Recall.
THE referendum idea now popular
with some politicians and some other
| people is in some respects utterly
wrong. The propriety of referring
many questions of local regulations
and municipal government back to the
people for their final approval is I'M
questioned, but the extreme of referr-
ing all Legislative, executive and ju-
dicjal functions back to the ballot box
is not admitted; it is absurd and it is
out of harmony with the general and
| established plan of our form of state
and federal government. The careful
selection of men for office in which the
entire electorate should as public
duty participate and wise legislation
and constitutional provision fixing the
length of terms of office will end
great deal of this referendum talk.
National Highways.
THE right and duty of the general
government to aid in the construction
and maintenance CT national highways
l believe in very strongly; and this
class of Improvement the interior
counties are expecting and have a
right to demand; for while they feel
indirectly the benefit of cur splendid
river and harbor investments and i'm
proYements this national development
Of great highways to bear interstate
trade and traffic would be a benefit
flowing directly to the doors of our
people who do not live on the sea-
board, and the time has now come to
at least begin this work.
EIOrEuu Shin Canal
ut may not be possible to accom-
plish 1t, but | am committed absolute
ly to the hope that the millions and
millions of money now invested in ma
chincry and being used in digging the
Panama canal may not be sold as junk
on the completion Of the canal three
years hence but may be utilized by our
general government in conjunction
with this state in digging a ship canal
across the peninsula of Florida from
the st Johns river to the gulf. This
is change in the map of the worlt
which should and certainly will ulti.
mately be made The commerce of the
East and Of the western coast of South
America and Of the gulf absolutely de-
mands it, and if elected l will prepare
introduce and advocate legislation to
this end.
The Regulation of Trusts.
THE proper regulation. of the trusts
is one of the most intricate and impor-
tant subjects for immediate and further
judicial inquiry and legislative action.
The power of the federal government to
control these agencies or interstate and
foreign commerce has been expressed
in what is known as the sherman anti
trust law. This law has been the sub
ject of much judicial consideration,
construction and miScOnStruction. 1t
has recently received exhaustive con-
sideratiOn by the supreme court of the
United States, and it's meaning defined
in such general terms as to indicate
the absolute necessity for further leg
islative construction and definition, or,
in plain language, further amendment

W. M. TOOMER
A CANDIDATE
FOR CONGRESS
Prominent Jacksonville Business
Man Formally Announces He
Will Make the Race.
A CLEAN CAMPAIGN PROMISED
His Announcement Discusses Promi-
nent Questions, Some of Which
/! Are of Vast Importance.

Col w. NJ Toomer, a prominent lum-
herman, naval stores operator and
lawyer, of Jacksonville announces his
candidacy for congress in the Second
Congressional district.
He outlines clearly and plainly his
views on some important questions of
national interest
A clean, vigorous and impersonal
campaign is assured.
We quote from his announcement
the following:
The motive prompting this an
bsHncemAnk is net the shelS-worn Ia
resistible demand of friends nor an in
durable itch to seek or hold public Of
fee; but only a desire to represent this
district in the United States house of
representatives and render the best
service in my power to the people and
business of the district.
81 cannot, truthfully, make the
stereotyped statement that am abb
solutely confident of election on the
contrary, while not in any sense timid
of a real hot contest or of defeat in a
fair fight I realize the personal and
political following of many gentlemen
who may aspire to this Office, and some
of whom are now actively campaigning
in the district; not with a definite an
nounccment of their candidacy but in
timating very strongly such purpose
and vigorously attending good roads
and school celebrations where they
were not seen in off political years.
"In due time l will enter the cam
paign actively on the stump of the dis
trict, giving my views upon all ques-
tons of public interest to the people in
person and through the mails and pub
lie prints insofar as that is proper.

oppression of business, even though
the business may be large, in the ag-

building up the business are not other
