O'Clock that the automobile in which
he rode with Major Butt, and the es-
corting cars filled with Secret Service
men, reached the cafe. The crowd
cheered loudly while the President
was III view, but he hurried inside
after bowling repeatedly, and made
his way to a reception room on the
second floor, where for a few minutes
he was busy meeting his hosts and
the large number of politicians who
had gathered to meet him.
The meeting was notable for the
number of politicians Of local and
national fame who were present to
shake the Presidents hand Among
them were Collector William Loeb,

orange tree, which stood behind the
President, and back of his chair was
hung an oil painting Of himself drap-
ed with American and Hungarian
flags.
Marcus Braun presided and after
short speech introduced Congressman
William Sulzer, Democratic repre-
sentative of the district, as a man
who has led them against their will
for years and yet whom they liked
and respected. Mr.. Sulzer spoke
briefly, rendering the President
hearty welcome and declaring:
Il call on the records to show that
I have voted for President Taft's pol
icies more frequently than some of the
men in his party"
President Taft made character
istic speech, complimenting the Mag
var Americans and telling of the in
terest he had taken in an interview
with Count Apponyi on his recent
visit here.
1t was after 1880 o'clock before the
President left the table, and the diners
him loudly as he went from
the room. His automobile was wait

hotel.

Mr. Washington, in spite of his
enemies, is the foremost Negro in
America today.
Any insult based upon lies, directed
at HIM, to a Negro audience, IS an
insult to them. and should have been
resented by them on the spot Every
Negro man, woman anC child above
the age of 10 years, present at that
meeting partook of that insult, and
took it without a murmur of dis5ent,
so If there is any chagrin felt it should
rest with those present, and partakers

President Taft Banqueted.

NEW OIk lily April IL
Mr.. Taft recalled that promise in
his speech, saying in his opening SEN
tences that he was there to keep the
promise The dinner was given by
the Hungarian American Republican
| Club for the President, and his speech
was principally in praise of the Hun
garians and the valuable citizens they
made for America He said that he was
glad to know race that could master
language so difficult that they could
easily learn all other languages, and
he was glad to see them amalgamate
with the many other races that came
to this country to make the typical
American.
introduced by Sulzer.
Representative Sulzer had intro
duced the President with many glow
ing words of praise, TO which Mr.
Taft replied that he was glad to meet
his hosts as members of the Hungar-
ian Republican Club, and he was es-
pecially glad to know that there was
so many Hungarian Republicans,
though they had listened to the siren
voice of Mr.. Sulzer.
Referring again to Mr.. Sulzer and
his speech of welcome, the President
said that it had given him great plea
sure to hear the words of Mr. Sulzer,
who had come deservedly to head the
Foreign Relations Committee of the
House of Representatives Mr. Sui
ger had said that politics were not
always played in Washington, only :
per cent of the time.
There might be some difference of
opinion on the percentage, but when
questions of delicacy in the foreign
relations of this country arose and
the interests of the country hung in
the balance politics were forgotten
and all were Americans. Nobody in
Washington illustrated this principle
better or more recently that had Mr..
Sulzer, the President added.
The President ended his speech
with toast to Franz Josef. Emper-
or of Austria and King of Hungary"
Marcus Braun, president of the
club, was the toastmaster.

AS to Political
Party Platforms.

VIII the Herald please advise us how
convention could in three days come
any nearer settling correctly the issues
and policies OF state government than
a legislature can do in sixty days? 2
Pensacola Journal.
The Journal could answer its own
question IL 1t will enlighten us on the
reason why national convention
spends three or four days preparing a
platform, which Il is usual to think
will be binding not only upon the
nominees of the party, but also upon
the members OF congress who may
thereafter be elected and who virtually
pledge themselves to carry out the
policies laid down in the platform and
to enact them into laws.-Miami
Herald.
The Journal will not enlighten you
because it cannot answer the question
any more than you can.
Platforms have long since come to
be regarded as farces. No party pre-
tends to observe them The repub-
lican party has become notorious for
its utter disregard of platform prom
ises. The democratic party in con-
gress, following Mr.. Clevelands first
election. absolutely repudiated the
lSI his dAu SplIlI VI the pidJIOIDl ldl III
plank. Few democrats Of recent years
have entertained any serious regard
for the platform obligation to which
our contemporary refers. No member
of the Florida delegation in the last
congress made any pretensions Of OBJ
serving the democratic tariff pledge
all wanted protection for the articles
produced in their own districts.
Platforms have long been regarded
simply as means Of getting into Of
fee and not to be used after Office
was secured.
If our contemporary, which wants q
convention called for the purpose of
adopting a state platform, can offer
nothing better in support OF its idea
than the platform record of our two
great parties, it has a hard case to
demonstrate.

An Altogether
Different Brand.

One OF our Republicans contempo-
rartes which seems to realize that the
country Is determined to have tariff
revision seeks TO put a check to the
sentiment by saying that 'ff the coun-
try wants another tariff of the type of
1894, or worse, the country IS entitled
to have such a tariff and have it all
in a heap. If the protective tariff has
got to go, 1t should go as a whole, and
not in chunks"
Our advisor evidently is not familiar
with his subject or thinks that his
audience is not posted The tariff bill
of 1894 was not the ideal one that the
Democrats now propose to prepare. It
would not compare with the tariff re-
vision proposed at the extra session
which the president killed. The tariff
bill in 1894 was an abortion at the
hands Of Republican chicanery and
Democratic treachery.
We heartily agree with our contem-
porary that the tariff should go as a
whole and not in chunks. If Presi-
dent Taft had co-operated with the
Democrats and had appointed a non
partisan board OF tariff experts to
have considered the tariff then the
tariff could have gone as a whole, but
with the president and his standpat
friends trying to block tariff reduction
II devolves upon the Democrats and
the insurgent Republicans to take II
one at q time. beginning with the ne
cessities first ad leaving the tariffs on
luxuries to the last.
The Republicans can't fool the peo-
pie into believing that all the tarifrs
must be reduced at once or none
should be reduced. The Job is a giant
one and it must be accomplished by
systematic work. The tariff regulation
which the Democrats are working for
is a tariff for revenue only and not
one that will collect seven dollars from
the consumer to allow one dollar tc
go into the federal treasury.

Should Have All
The Credit It Desires.

The Tampa Times is kicking be-
cause. It says, it has not received
proper credit for the part It played in
the dismissal or resignation of a pro-
fessor in one OF the Florida colleges
who was said to be q socialist
If there is any credit in q thing Of
that kind the Times should have every
thing that is coming to 1t.
This is the first instance we have
noted, however. where IL was consid-
cred a crime to hold socialistio beliefs
1t is also the first case, in Florida at
least, where college professor was
not accorded the right to his own
opinion on politics or economies with

may be good policy to run the Florida
state colleges as political machines,
but such q policy does not usually
commend itself 20 Intelligent and fair
minded people.
The trouble with most people is that

few understand what it Eneans and
fewer still could give any satisfactory
definition of 1t.
The fact is, however, that nearly
everyone is more or less of a socialist
If he only knew it. There are many
admirable things in socialism and some
features of the doctrine are almost
universally endorsed and practiced.
The difficulty with most people lies in
where to draw the Ilne--what social
istic features are good and what are
bad.
But certainly the holding Of opinions

ought not to disqualify any man for
holding a chair in any school in the
United States. And. we may say. that
they do not usually 50 disqualify him.
If our Tampa contemporary can find
nothing larger or more important for
which to claim credit than the dis
missal Of college professor because
he believed in socialism it must be in
a bad way. II there is any credit in
the matter, no one, we think. will be-

The Dime Novel
And Children.

/ The librarian OF the New York pub
lie schools tells US that the dime novel
Sc doomed He deserves no considers
'tion, for at least a hundred thousand
Others have spoken loudly against what
Is commonly called the dime novel In
fact the condemnation OF the dime
novel has become a habit, q disease. or
something OF the sort
The Journal IL ar advocate Of the
best kind OF literature that IL possible
to be provided, but let us study the
dime novel question and see whether
It has been a curse to the world or
whether 1t has served a purpose.
VIII Irwin. author of the newspaper
stories appearing in Golfers. says that
the readers Of Hearst's newspapers
change every two years, and that per-
sons begin reading them because the
sensational and far-fetched stories at
tract their attention, but the habit Of
reading improves their mind until 1t
calls for better literature. Would not
the same thing apply to the cheaper
novel?
Children are told fairy stories and
wonderful impossibilities when their
minds call for such things, but when
they grow older they call for some
thing else. How many of the grown
people Of today can say that during
some period OF their lives they have
not to a large extent read the dime
novels?
Few Of these stories are published,
but what have good moral lesson in
them, and while the plots are simple
and the sentimental sentences don't
appeal to the more cultured grown
people we believe that few people have
been harmed by reading the dime
novels, On the contrary we believe
that they havs done much toward edu-
eating people to care for better litera-
tire as we'll as supplying some OF the
poorer people with entertainment who
could not purchase the higher priced
books.
UntKl recently the better novels were
out Of reach of the poorer people. Now
It is possible to get the regular dollar
and half novels for fifty cents after
the published edition is two years old.
The dime novel isn't so bad after all
It is serving its mission and there Is no
reason why It should be condemned.

some place in the state to the women
Of the Confederacy. The women of the
Confederacy have been busying them
selves since the close OF the war in
