negro ATTORNEY
Is PUT TO WORK
Young Woman StGDOgFaphGF
Gets a Transfer

Washington, D. c., March 24-When
William H. Lewis, the Boston colored
man, who has accepted the position OF
Assistant Attorney General arrives in
Washington, he will find that all the
plans for taking care of him on his
arrival have been completed by the
department A letter from Lewis adj
dressed to the Attorney General, is on
file in the department, but in the alb
sence of Mr.. Wickersham, one of the
officials would reveal its contents, al
though the Boston lawyer already has
made his acceptance public.
The new Assistant Attorney General
will be placed in charge of the Indian
depreciation cases. According to the
gossip of the department, these cases
are not now regarded as of great i'm
portance, as about IS per cent of them
already have been disposed of. There
now remain about 1900 cases, involy-
ing total amount of about $780, 900.
These claims were handled for years
by Assistant Attorney General John G.
Thompson, who recently resigned to go
into private practice. Since his resig-
nation, they have been in the hands OF
Attorney George T. Stormont,. assign
ed to this work, who is regarded as an
authority on the subject.
Miss Bessie Moore, who held the po-
sition of stenographer in the office to
be allotted to Lewis, has been trans
ferred by her own request, and with
the approval of the department, to a
place with the Court of Commerce.
Harry Jones, a young man who was
drawing 5000 a year, accepted the place
left vacant and received an increase
of $500. James NJ. Marks, the mes
senger attached to the office which
Lewis will occupy, is a white man.
Lewis is not assured of a salary for
his work as Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Unless his nomination is con-
firmed by the Senate, which recently
showed strong opposition to him, or
unless he is granted his salary by a
special act of Congress, he will be
obliged to serve without pay.

men SAID To BE
GETTING SCARCE
New York Has Army Doomed
to Old MaidOm

New York, March 24-'In spite of
writer's who give formulas to girls how
to get husbands, assuring them that
every girl can win one if she makes
herself attractive, there are thousands
of girls today who haven't a ghost of
show at matrimony. There are not
enough men to go around
This, girls, is not the sentiment of
the army of the unmarried, but is the
cold-blooded statement of DR.. John
Jackola, who supports his statements
with figures.
DR., Jackolas mother and sisters are
among the pioneer suffragists of Fin
land, where women have full suffrage
and where there are 1 100000 more wo-
men than men in 100000 population.
DR. Jackola spoke to a gathering of
Mrs. Belmont's farm suffragettes and
Hampstead citizens recently. He also
carried his message of despair to
Boston's unmarried army of suffra-
gettes when he spoke there before the
Massachusetts State Suffrage Associa-
ton.
Mrs. Belmontis farmer suffragists
were cast down by DR.. Jackola's state
ment that there are $4,000 more women
than men in Greater New York alone,
and that no matter what interest they
had in looking forward to matrimony,
for thousands of them there was abb
solutely no hope.
Then" added DR.. Jackola, when
you consider the big number of 'unde-
sirable bachelors whom no woman of
refinement would marry, your chances
of matrimony are Iessened still fur
Their"
DIR. Jackola compared Inez Milhol-
land, who is studying law to help win
votes for women, to Joan of Arc.
Women" he said, rich young, and
beautiful like Miss Milholland, who do
not marry, are sacrificing their happi-
ness, no doubt, like the martyrs Of
old"
DR.. Jackola gives the unmarried girls
one ray of hope, saying that, in his
opinion the day will come when Gus
tom will not compel a woman to wait
until a man asks her to marry him
'If the custom were established sc
! that women might propose" he said
! a believe there would be a better I'M
derstanding between the sexes.

LOW GRADE POLITICS

Frank Clark is out in an interview
saying that Florida is for Harmon for
president. That ought to be reason
enough for the rank and file of Flor
ida democracy to be almost for any
body else than ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Florida has suffered long and pa
tiently from the low plane of politics,
of which the above is a sample. Real
ly, politics in Florida ought to be lift
ed to a higher level. Compared with
what ought to constitute true states
manship the Breeze's announcement
is about on a par with the McNama-
ras' cant about union labor and it's

A SALUTARY LESSON

Judge Bullock of the fifth circuit, in
the course of the trial of what is
known as the Davis case, at Brooks
vile, impressed upon the minds of
those present a lesson that might
with advantage be repeated from the
bench of every court in Florida.
The defendant was charged with
assault with attempt to murder; he
was southerner, and the man who
had been shot was from the north. A
man who is described as a well
known citizen" approached one of the
jurors and told him that sit was a
case of a northern man complaining
of southern defendant, and that
whatever could be done for the de-
PENDANT should be DONE" The matter
came to the ears of the judge, who at
once had the offender brought before
him. The INSTRUCTOR of justice was
fined and scathingly denounced from
the bench for his unworthy appeal to
SSCIiOHdl Justice.
Aside from the crime-for it is a
crime, and serious one-of attempt
ing to influence a juror in the dis
charge of his high and solemn duty,
this well known citizen" was guilty
of the unjustifiable breach of the
good feeling that has everywhere ex-
cept in the dark corners obliterated
the bitterness of the era that follow
ed the war between the states.
We were surprised when we read
the account of the unfortunate and
disgraceful transaction to learn that
there was still citizen, well known
or otherwise, of the state of Florida
VINO would even sympathize with,
much less invoke, these Anticipated
prejudices that are a moth-eaten an
achronism in the life of the present
day.
Knowing the people of fernando
county as we'll as we do, we are con-
f1dent that they have no sympathy
with such sentiments, and we are
equally we'll satisfied that the author
of the despicable attempt is alone in
his evil eminence in the enlightened
and progressive community in which
he lives.-Tampa Times.

Tampa, F7a.-Tn a letter from this

all weakened and worn out with wo-
manly troubles. My husband brought
me some Cardui as tonic, and, from
the first day, 1t seemed to help.
I had almost lost my reason, but,
thanks to Cardui, I did not. Soon,

think the remedy is wonderful. I
recommend 1t to my friends, for have

Cardui acts specifically on the weak
ened womanly organs, Strengthening
the muscles and nerves, and building
them up to health.
1t helps to refresh the worn-out ner-
vous system and relieves the effects Of
overwork, both mental and physical.
Fifty years successful use fully
prove the merit of this purely vege-

In every community, there live some
who have been benefited by Cardui.
The beneficial effects of this time
tested woman's remedy, soon show
themselves in many different ways.

HOW Mr.. sPARKMAN Is APPRE.
GATED IN WASHINGTON

Representative Sparkman of Flor
ida, who took prominent part in
the rivers and harbors congress, and
is chairman of the rivers and harbors
committee of the house, may have
opposition for denomination next
year. His friends in tn house are
surprised that Mr. Sparkman's con-
stitutents should contemplate replac-
ing him with anw other man.
Representative R. L. Henry, of Tex
as, chairman of the house committee
on rules, at the Willard, said:
Il am surprised that Mr.. Sparkman
should have any opposition for renom-
nation. Under no circumstances
would l undertake to interfere with
politics in any other state than Tex
as, but the fact that Mr.. Sparkman
now is most important national fig
ure makes me deplore that he is in
any way embarrassed by opposition
from any source, no matter how wor-
thy his opponent may be.
"Soon the Panama canal is to be
completed, and the whole south is to
come into it's own. Mr.. Sparkman is
chairman of the great rivers and har-
bors committee Florida and the
whole south should rejoice in the
fact that he holds this high place and
certainly can supplement with his eff
forts in improving the rivers and har-
bors of the south the tremendous
benefits sure to accrue to us from
the finishing of the Panama canal.
Perhaps not in century will Flor
ida be honored with this great chair
manship, and probably never again.
The south and the whole country feel
a deep interest in Mr.. Sparkman's po-
litical fortunes.
81 should say in a public way that
Sparkman's defeat would be a calam-
ity to the south and the whole coun-
try at this time. For fifteen years I
have served in congress with him. He
is able, honest, strong, and has splen-
did capacity as a representative"

MR.. GEO. MACkAY ON FREIGHT
DISCRIMINATION

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
l note with much interest that the
mayor of Leesburg is to visit Wash
/ ington. with a veiw to interesting our
representatives in congress in the
| Improvement of the Ocklawaha river
route
Ocala takes much pride in the num-
Der of railroads she gets pointing her
way. l grant that every railroad
| touching Ocala is a much desired I'M
provement and should be encouraged,
but if fifty railroads came to Ocala,
discrimination in freight rates, as
now, against the interior and central
Florida, would be, and will be, just
as it would be with one railroad, and
it is folly to talk and think OF fair
and equitable freight rates until Ocala
owns or operates a railroad to deep
water, or the Ocklawaha river route
is taken in hand by the government
and made a proper waterway.
That this can be done is unquestion-
able; that central Florida is entitled
to this consideration and relief from
the present glaring and discriminate
ing railroad freights is also undoubt-
ed; that by placing the matter before
our representative in congress,
! furnishing him with a proper state
ment showing the probable shipping
tonnage, with the saving to the inter
| ior of central Florida, he undoubted-
| ly could secure an appropriation that
| would make this route feasible and
possible for boats of at least double
the tonnage that now use Silver
Springs. This done, the desired end
would be accomplished, as Ocala can
and will readily take care of the
freights from that point to our city.
but depending upon the railroads, no
matter what the number is, is fall
lacy pure and simple.
1t took Captain Inglis, of the Dun
Mellon Phosphate company, several
years with dredges, locomotives, and
miles of track, to convince the wide
awake officials of the A. C. L. that
there was even one way to get out of
their clutches, and even now | ques-
ton if they know how or why it hap
pened. To these gentlemen Ocala
today is little one-horse way station
somewhere in Florida from which
they derive considerable revenue with
the least possible returns
they have an antiquated shack doing
duty as freight depot for the last
twenty-seven years, with such i'm
provements as fungi and the ele-
ments have been able to make during
that period, and the effrontery of
Ocala to refuse closing up seven or
eight streets, conditional on their
building even a serviceable depot for
has been resented in many ways, in
dicative of what can be expected of
railroad building up an inland town.
To compare this treatment with their
actions where water competition is
met with will show where our remedy
lies.
Determined and united action on
the river route can, and will, win out,
if not Wa our present Indifferent
business men, it will surely do so
when better and more progressive
business men will take our places.
For many erasons there is no time
ike the present for the endeavor.
Our representative in congress is
just where he can help us, if he
will.
Let us put it up to him.
Your very truly,
