Hon. S. ]. Hilburn of this county,
who has been recognized in various
parts of the Second Congressional dis
trict as the man likely to lead in the
Congressional race next spring, has
been making thousands of warm friends
and supporters during the past three
weeks by his sturdy declarations in
favor of inland waterways and deep
harborS-where such are possible and
can be secured with a little government
aid. Mr.. Hilburn is the first prospective
congressman in many years who has
recognized that the Second district ran
the whole length of the east coast of
the state. 81 have always had kindly
feeling for Jacksonville" said Mr.. Hill
burn to the Metropolis, land would be
in favor OF a deeper harbor for that city;
| would certainly work for more water
for the metropolis of the state upon any
and all occasions. AT the same time
would not forget the other cities where
dredging should be done TO aid them in
carrying on their shipping" Mr.. Hill
burn states that he is firm believer in
cheap transportation, and that by dig
ging few canals this can be brought
about. 81 will give one instance" said
he, "of this canal building. have in

were dug between Haw Creek and To-
moka river, new water route would be
opened up between Daytona and Jack
Sonville. This canal could be con
Structed for a comparatively small sum,
and there are several other places where
such connecting links can be put in and
new waterways thereby opened up.
Mr. Hilburn'S success is preSaged from
the fact that more than any other candi-
date he is keenly alive and alert 10 the |
needs and possibilities OF all parts of the
district. He made a record of watch.

and he is starting for Washing

field of usefulness. He ought 10 win.

John Lawrence Sullivan, gentleman
who as pugilist and barkeeper has con-
tributed his full share to the fame of
Boston and the gaiety of the nation, has
expressed desire to represent the Hub
City in Congress. Mr.. Sullivan is pro-
gressive democrat, and while he would
not take high rank as a statesman it must
be confessed that his record shows him

The treaty of reciprocity Between the
United States and Canada has failed for
the reason that the liberal party in Cana
da, which made the pact, has been over
whelmingly defeated. The Conserva-
tiveS, opposed TO reciprocity, have a
majority OF so in parliament. The queS-
ton was referred 10 the people and the
benefits Of reciprocity ably discussed by
Sir Wilfred Laurier and other leaders of
the liberals, but the conservatives
played upon the prejudices of the peo-
pie and-won. The people were told
that reciprocity was the entering wedge
of annexation.

1t now appears that the religious rite
OF euthanaSia, or peaceful death, which
Brother" Gillette the head of the
Shaker colony near kiSSimmec processes
10 have praCticed on "Sister" Sadie Mar
chant, conSumptive member of the
colony, was really not justified by the
religion Of the Shakers nor by the cir
CumStanCcS in the case as represented
by the man Gillette. "SiSter" Sadie
who was represented as about 20 years
of age, was in fact but 81; seeds of con
sumption were found in her lungs by
the physicians who made the autopsy,
but only a few of them had Sprouted,
and instead of being in dying condi-
ton Sister Sadie had every chance of
living many years. The coronor'S jury
after hearing all the evidence has there
fore rendered a verdict of wilful murder
against Brother" Gillette and he is now
in the county Jail. The case is one that
has attracted attention all over the
world. Even the recent House of Gov
ernors" discussed the case and various
executives fastened TO give their views
as TO what they would do in case Gil
lette was found guilty of murder. There
is neither in law or morals anything TO
be said in favor of the defendants in
this case. The laws of God and all civil
lied nations are opposed to the practice
of euthanasia, and the fact that in this
instance il was done by religious crank
claiming divine guidance makes it none
the less hideouS The jury's verdict
was correct-warranted by the state
ments of the defendant 1t was wilful
murder.

THE FIRST 10000 PRIZE STORY

VOU know something of our Short Story
Contest, with the prizes amounting to
Ten Thousand Dollars; but you can't know
all about it, for each week since the announce
ment was made public has proved that we
didn't grasp its possibilities. They are con-
stantly growing.
OF course the object is not to enrich the
writers, but to get for the readers of our
SUNDAY MAGAZINE the best stories from the
foremost writer's, and to encourage new ones.
Writers of highest reputation are inclined to
shy at competitions. They have no difficulty
in selling their work at their own prices
which have almost doubled in the last few
years, by the way. They object to the long
wait necessary before competition can be
decided.
We made a simple, just proposition to
overcome this objection. but that is novel
in story competitions. We said to the authors.
in effect:
If you will enter the competition, you
may submit many tales as you like; but
only three will be accepted from any one
writer for the competition. The accepted
stories will be paid for Immediately. at your
regular rates. Therefore, you can lose
nothing, either in time or in money. and you
have chance Of winning the maximum prize
Ol lHcIlIS -iiNt IulIItI uDlidlS, III dGulIlOI "
what you have already received for your
story, or one Of the other prizes, the lowest of
which is five hundred dollars"
That offer appealed 10 Conan Doyle, who
shares with Rudyard Kipling the distinction
Of being the most highly paid short story
writer. 1t appeals even more powerfully to
the author who can command only one hum
bred dollars for a story. The twenty-five
hundred-dollar prize is within his reach, if he
can write a story good enough to win it.
You can readily see that this offer is bound
to attract to our SUNDAY MAGAZINE the best
short stories written in English. We are
sure of being able to print of these prize
stories each week for a year. and are reason
ably confident that the average will be
nearer two.
The first of these prize stories will be pub
lished in our SUNDAY MAGAZINE of February
5, two weeks from to-day. 1t is by Herman
Schefauer. with whose powerful. picturesque
