The hunting season so far in Flor
ida has presented no unusual features,
at least none that has crept into the
papers. Almost uniformly sportsmen
have had fair compensation for their
time and trouble in the way of game,
but no extraordinary feats have been
accomplished. The truth is that shoot
ing in Florida is on the decline, and it
might be a good idea to make five
years close season on all game, after
wards taking off the lid for couple
of months every other year. In that
way there might be once in couple
of years day or week in the woods
really worth while.-Tampa Times.
The above may be true so far as
South Florida is concerned, but over
this way the birds were never more
plentiful than they are this season.

TELLS ON THE KIDNEYS
Pensacola People Have Found This To
Be True.

The strain of overwork tells on the
weakened kidneys more quickly than
on any other organ of the body. The
hurry and worry of business men,
the heavy lifting and STOPPING of
workmen, the women's household
cares, tend to wear, weaken and in
jure the kidneys until they can no
longer filter the poison from the
blood and the whole body suffers from
the waste matter that accumulates.
The weakened kidneys need quick as
sistance. Doan's Kidney Pills are
prepared especially for sick weaken
ed kidneys; tired, WORKOUT backs
have cured thousands of such cases.
Convincing proof in a Pensacola citi-
zen's statement.

Tiers street, Penss cola, Fla, says:
"Doan's Kidney Pills have been used

sometimes slide along the tense glance
from googoo eyes.
Partisan science has yet to discover
why the prettier girls have a SEEM

bacilli for indiscriminate distribution.
while the girls of sour faces or cold
hearts carry something in their sys-

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER IS, 1911.
Building a State
And the Way to Do It.

Someone has truly said that cities
do now grow: they are built. The
same is true of states. They must be
built, either by community work or by
the combined efforts of the state and
the communities.
Discussing the question of building
q state the Jacksonville Metropolis
says that among other things that I'VE
need law providing for the building
and maintaining of good roads all over
the state; we need a constitution
which will permit any county to Dond
for schools at any time; we need a
better law regulating the disposition
of prisoners; the tax laws should be
changed; many other improvements
should be made for the good of the
state"
This is one question upon which The
Journal and it's Jacksonville afternoon
contemporary heartily agree. These
are among the most important things
the state needs. and. happily, the ma
jority of F1oridians feel the same way
about it.
The last legislature had an oppor-
tunity of attending to some of these
things, but it would not. Apparently
it thought the Florida voter was not
capable of deciding whether the state
should spend money for road building,
or whether the people of the various
counties might issue bonds to improve
the school facilities.
These two questions will be consid-
cred by the next legislature. The tax
laws will be an issue and the convict
question will occupy the attention of
the making body. There are other
questions quite as important which
will come up, but If these four things
were the only subjects to come before
the voter to see to it that the men to
be elected to the legislature make
themselves clear on them.
The Journal does not say that ten
million dollar bond issue is the thing
for the state, although we don't see
how ten million could be spent to bet
ter advantage, but we do say that the
legislature fell down badly when it
failed to give the people an oppor-
1t or not.
The Journal does, know that there
are counties in the state which would
Issue bonds for building school houses
If the constitution of the state allowed
1t. This would enable the school au-
thorities to obtain money at practi-
cally half the rates now charged. A
constitutional amendment ought to be
passed to allow these counties to dc
SO.
The Journal does know that there is
nothing in the state as discriminating
as the present system of taxation
Until this is changed the state is
bearing a heavy handicap and the
poorer classes are paying the freight.
If you would help build a great
state it is your duty to see that men
are sent to the legislature who are in
sympathy with the progressive ele-
ment of the states citizenship.

The Ocala Star says it is pleased to
note that the repairs for its linotype
machine only cost S1737 during the
year just ended. A glance at the adj
vertising columns of the Star shows
convincingly that the spicy little daily
is doing nicely, but when it refers to
only $1737." we have to confess d
surprise. Really We think the proof
reader is to blame and that a decimal
point should make it read $17.37.
Anyway the Star is a mighty good
paper and can possibly refer to seven
teen hundred dollars as pocket change

TILDEN'S SYSTEM OF
BOOKKEEPING IS BAD
ALTHOUGH PRESIDENT OF
MANY COMPANIES HE KNOWS
LITTLE OF OWN AFFAIRS.

BY Associated Press.
Washington, June 2S.-lIIs meth
DDS OF bookkeeping and his loyalty
to the Democratic party alike were
under fire today when Edward TIL
den, bank director, packing house
manager and general corporation
man. appeared before the Senate
Lorlmer investigating committee TO
testify that he was IN no way inter-
csted in the raising Of FUND to
elect Mr. Lorimcr TO the Senate.
Attorneys TOR the committee, at
tcrneys for Lorimcr and members
Of the committee themselves. asked
Tilden In almost every conceivable
manner the question if he had any
thing To- do, or knew Of anyone that
did, with tho raising Of d fund to
elect Lorimor either before or after
the election. TO each the witness
declared WI,h emphasis that hc did
rot
Mr. Tlldon was subjected To- an exc
animation Of his relations to corpor-
atlons. He mentioned that he was
president of the National Packing
Company, and added the names Of
five other Chicago corporations Of
which he was president, besides be-
Ing the head Of concerns In other
cities. He was confused" when
asked by Senator Kenyon TO state Of
how many corporations he was presI-
dent because Of the minor COM
panies,"
The witness testified that he ala
not keep accurate books Of his per-
scnal business merely loose leaf
memorada Of his receipts and dis
bursemcnp. and memoranda Of
checks written instead Of check stubs
The witness said no was not proud
Of this system, but thai II answered
his demands, namely that OF keep
Ing track Of money The drawing of
check for 100000 for instance,
for personal expenses, might bo en-
tered In hts personal account, he
said. and he might or might not"
bo able to tell, for instance IN 1908,
where he had paid any one 100000.
"We might be able to tell II we
all went at IT," he added Such a
question never camo up. I am paid
big salary to run the business Of
large corporation / know great
deal less about my own affairs than
those Of the company"
