moved to Key West and used in the con.
struction of the terminal facilities to be
established at that point
what has been accomplished in the
development of the East Coast of Flor
ida can be accomplished in other parts
of this State, and to very large extent
throughout the whole South. Indeed,
the growth of traffic is treading hard up
on the heels of transportation facilities.
II will require vast expenditure of money
TO bring about an expansion of railroad
facilities in the South equal to the de-
mandS of the next few years. But this
cannot be accomplished If railroads are
TO be hampered by adverse State and
Federal legislation.
1.-THE next quarter of century of ma
terial development belongs 10 the
South. The movement of population
10 the East Coast of Florida, TO which
have referred, is, believe, an indica-
ton of great Southwark movement of
population from the North and West.
The growth of traffic, ii seems TO me,
through South, like the growth upon the
East Coast Line, will demand an enor-
nous expenditure in providing more
sidings, more double track, reduced
grades, less curves and more rolling
stock
81 would again emphasize my convic-
ton that the progress of the coming
years will very far exceed that of the last
quarter. This country has entered
II pom an era of boundleSS ex-
pansion in trade and commerce, and
though business may at times have its
setbacks, the future is destin-
ed TO surpaSs what has been achieved in
railroad expansion and business activity
during my lifetime, as much as the
progress of that period measured by a
growth of railroads, from "a miles to
240, 900 miles, exceeds all that went be-
fore, but TO accomplish this the railroads
must be given an opportunity to make
sufficient earnings TO attract new capital
Or else all railroad construction must de-
pend upon the earnings of existing roads,
l very slow way in (which to expand
'ailroad facilities. -:

Vegetable Compound has done for me

No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-

icine we know of has such record
OF cures as has Lydia L. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
curing womans ills such as inflamma-
ton, liberation, tibroid tumors, irreg-
ularities, periodic pains and nervous
prostration, and it is unequalled for

CLARK OUTLINES POLICY.
Declares Democrats Will Not Shirk
responsibilities.

Declares Democrats Will Not Shirk
Responsibilities.
Tuesday Champ Clark became
speaker of the house exactly at 1920
o'clock, when he answered 81 do" to
the oath administered by Representa-.
tive Talbot, of Maryland. In his
speech he outlined what the demo.
Gratis proposed to do in the house.
After thanking his colleagues for the
speakership and the ovation accorded
him, and admitting that he realized
fully the responsibilities, Mr.. Clark
said:
I'VE are this day put on trial, and
1t devolves upon us to demonstrate
that we are worthy of the confidence
imposed in us by the voters, and that
We are worthy of their still wider con-
fidence.
viii Not Shirk Duty.
1--WE will not shirk our duty. We
do not shirk from the responsibilities
That We will prove equal to the emer-
gency there can be no doubt. And the
way to accomplish this is to fulfill
with courageous, intelligent patriotism
the promises made before the election
In order to win that election. By dis
charging our duties thoroughly and
well, subordinating personal desires
to principles, and personal ambitions
to love of country, we not only will
receive the Endorsement of the coun-
try, but what is far better, we will de-
serve it.
Chief among those promises were
an honest, intelligent revision of the
tariff downward, in order to give every
American citizen an equal chance in
the race of life, to hamper none I'M
duly, or grant special favors or priv
ilege, and to reduce the cost of living
by graduating the enormities of the
present tariff.
Bills are already on file looking to
this accomplishment"
Mr.. Clark outlined the following as
additional to the democratic program:
Democratic Program.
nv PSPulHl OlSSLlOu Vi senators DV
direct vote of the people," a bill for
which he said had already been pre-.
pared by the democrats.
Changes in the rules for the con.
Bideration of measures.
Economy in expenditures.
"The publicity of campaign contri.
buttons before election"
The bill to accomplish this, said Mr.
Clark, has been prepared and intro.
duced and will be speedily passed.
THE admission of Arizona and New
Mexico to statehood"
The new speaker let the gaveI fall
for the first time and called the house
to order. He then directed the clerk
to call the roll, in order that new
members might take the oath of office, |
The members were swern in in groups
Of from ten to twenty at a time.

Good Roads Meet at DnuaI-

Another good roads convention is D
to be held soon at Duval Station, in
Duval county. At this meeting an eff
fort will be made to arouse interest in
the bridging of the Nassau river. This
river is the dividing line between the
counties of Duval and Nassau, and by
building a bridge at the north end of
the Panama road a splendid hard sur
faced highway will be opened up from
Jacksonville to Kings Ferry. This
will be the first practical step in the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS highway.

Willis B. Powell, secretary of the
Tampa board OF trade and himself for
mer newspaper man, has served notice
that Tampa will strive for the next
meeting of the State Press Association.
And this in face of the fact that Palatka
had served similar notice four weeks in
advance of him. Well, it means that
the Palatka editors for one time in their
life have got to "buck" Tampa. Too
bad, but Palatka needs and must have
that meeting. The Palatka board of
trade has commissioned PaIatka editors
to get it and-they are going to carry
out their instructions.

The Christian Scientists are cup
against it," Geo. w. Glover, son of
Mrs Eddy, founder and high priestess
of the church, by his attorney, has asked
the courts TO declare void the residuary
clause of Mrs Eddy'S will leaving
$4,000, 900 to the Boston church, on the
ground that the statute forbids so large a
bequeSt TO single church. Mr.. Chand-
Ter also states that he will attack the vail
dity OF the residuary clause as ''uncer-
tain" that as Mrs. Eddy left her proper
ty for the promotion of the Christian
Science religion, and no one knows ex-
actly what the Christian Science relig-
ion is, this will have to be explained
to the courts, and unless satisfactorily
explained the clause becomes void b G.
c auSe of uncertainty. Christian
science may be good thing,
out when any of the cult are called to
Explain it they become lost.

The Florida legislature will probably

EXTRA SESSION OF
CONGRESS- CONvENEs
First Democratic House In Six
teen Years.
SPEAKER CLARK pRES|DES.
Interesting Scenes Were Enacted at
the Opening of the Extra Session of
congress--Much Enthusiasm Was
Manifested.

Picturesque scenes and unbounded
enthusiasm swayed the house OF rep
resentatives Tuesday, when the tri-
umphant democracy assumed the reins
of government in the lower legislative
branch of the federal government.
Governor Harmon, of Ohio; William
Jennings Bryan, the peerless leader
of Nebraska; Samuel Gompers, the
labor leader, and dozens of others
slightly less prominent in the public
eye, held seats on the floor. The gal
leries were packed, the corridors were
damned, and the best of humor pre-
vailed everywhere. Mrs. Taft and
other members of the presidents fam
fly occupied conspicuous seats in the
gallery, and the foreign diplomatic
corps were well represented.
Champ Clark was nominated for
speaker. James R. Mann, of Chicago,
the republican nominee, was given an
ovation of no mean proportions.
The ceremonies We're brief and for
NAL, consisting in the main of brief
prayer by the senate chaplain, Rev.
Ulysses Grant Pierce, who petitioned
that, as a people, 1--WE might be deliv-
cred from strife within and warfare
without" the reading of the message
calling the special session, and the
swearing in of the thirty newly elected
senators.
Of the senators sworn, seventeen
were men who never before had occu-
pied seats in the senate. Twelve were
democrats and five rpublicans.
Complexion of Sixty-second Congress.
The political complexion of the six
ty-second congress, convened in extra
ordinary session, is as follows:
neutrality-suspicious., so; democrats,
al; vacancy, l.
House-Democrats, 22S; republi-
cans, 100; socialist, 1; vacancies, 2.
In the sixty-first congress, which
was adjourned March 4, the senate
was: Republicans, SO;
democrats, 80; vacancy, 1. The house
was: Republicans, 217;
democrats, TIA
The senate vacancy is from Colo
RADIO, the legislature being democratic.
Iowa is expected soon to elect sue
cessor to the late Senator Dolliver,
whose seat now is occupied by Lafay-
cite Young The house vacancies are
from the Ninth Iowa and the Second
Pennsylvania districts.
