THE benefit of the recall was given
ample proof in Seattle the past week.
Hiram c. Gill, the mayor, was elected
last fall on platform to give the city
a clean government by Kidding it of all
vice. He was charged with forgetting
his campaign promises, and the Public
Welfare League, which had placed him
in nomination and sought his election,
became convinced that nothing could
be expected Of him. A recall election
was ordered and Gill was invited out of
the mayors Office by a majority of 6, e
CO., The League elected George W.
billing to succeed him. Suppose we
had that law in Florida?

Salt and the Romans.

Spilling of salt is superstition still
current among us. It is derived from
the ancient Romans. who used salt in
their sacrifices and regarded it as
sacred to Penates. To spill 1t careless
" was to incur the displeasure of
these household divinities. After ac-
