Small Contributions
For National Campaign.

In an appeal for contributions to the
Democratic campaign fund, the Column
bus, Georgia, Ledger says:
The expenses of conducting a ma
ton wide campaign are enormous.
Legitimate expenditures may we'll run
over a million or two dollars. The
rank and file Of the party must foot
the bills. The Special Interests will
not be allowed to finance the campaign
of Wilson and Marshall. The next
president and vice president will go
into office conscious that they owe
their election solely to the people,
That expresses the situation exactly.
1t should meet with a loyal response
from every Democrat, Democracy is
depending for its expense money in
the present campaign on the rank and
file Of the common people. who want a
better government and d freer govern
ment.
Democracy promises the special pro-
tected interests nothing and it expects
no contributions from them.
OF course all the Democrats in Flor
ida will vote the ticket straight, but
they should do more than that and
assist in financing this great campaign
Of education.

Both Are Tarred
With the Same Stick.

Both branches of the Republican
party seem tarred with the same stick.
Both ends OF the Old gang are loath
TO punish the men who gather to-
gether millions Of stolen dollars.
Perhaps there Is no more corrupt
man today in Republican politics than
Boies Penrose, senator from Penn
sylvania. There may be no more
guilty trust magnate than Archbold of
the Standard Oil trust. Yet their ex-
posure Of the Roosevelts. the FIynns
and their abettors. is a real service to
the country.
This exposure casts an illuminating
light on the machinery of graft. They
pretend to be acting for the people,
yet they can always be depended on
TO hold the people by the throat while
the trusts rife their pockets.
The law is very plain. Congress
placed in the hands of the executive
branch Of the government power to
punish the thieves. who combined
themselves together, acting as corpo-
rations. to plumber the people.
Roosevelt failed to punish them and
Taft has also failed. Both the Taft
and the Roosevelt people accepted
huge sums of hush money from the
combines, in the guise of campaign
contributions.
The people will get justice only
through a Democratic administration
The election of Woodrow Wilson will
mean the thieves are to be punished
and that the thievery will stop.

The Microbes Graft
Is Perfectly Safe.

Boston is the source of the latest
crusade against unhygienic kissing.
The same old story about microbes
-reveling in the osculatory contact and
spreading disease is being told-with
the same old result.
Maiden ladies of advanced wears
easily become convinced that kissing
is dangerous business. That it is dan
gerous everybody will admit. In
Drawing the danger the ardent lover
finds happy opportunity to prove both
his heroism and devotion. The lover
who realizes that there are deadly
microbes nesting in the lips of his
sweetheart and does not heroically
smack them off is no man at all.
II is not likely that the Boston spin
stsrs' crusade viii appreciably injure
the festive microbes business. The
kiss is a graft" that the microbe is
quite reasonably sure will hold good.
Yet all that the anti-kiss crusaders
say is absolutely true. 1t is a scien-
tlic fact that the lips should be
sponged with a solution Of carbolic
acid or some other antiseptic before
kissing. The only difficulty is to Sc

Republican Party
Hopelessly Divided.

You can prove anything or nothing
casionally shows which way the wind
blows. A New York newspaper sent
out queries to subscribers living in
small towns and in the country. who
are known to be Republicans. OF the
first 1000 replying the vote stood:
Taft 442, Roosevelt sS5. Wilson 1872,
not voting 81.
Most of those voting for Governor
Wilson gave as their reason their dis
gust of Republican factionism. Some
voted for him as the surest way in
their Judgment to defeat the irrepres-
sible colonel and prevent him from
breaking up the Republican party.
Some of those who recorded them
selves as voting for Taft. lamented his
nomination and say they only vote for
him in order to hold the Republican
party together.
The significant fact is that out Of a
thousand country Republicans, not the
footing, effervescent vote of the large
cities, less than one half will support
the nominee Of the party.
This is only a straw vote, but should
it's proportions hold good throughout
the country, the Republicans at the
November election can not carry a
single state.

Exposition Disgraceful,
But No Surprise.

Probably very few really well in
formed people were greatly surprised
at the recent revelations, showing the
enormous contributions made by the
Standard Oil Company to the Roose-
welt campaign of four years ago.
According to the testimony Of Mr..
Archbold, the managing director of the
trust, and whose personal word no one
has cause to doubt, one hundred thou
SIND dollars went to the Roosevelt
campaign directly, while $4,000 was
thrown into the state Of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Archbold says when he decided
to give this enormous sum, he made
it point, that Roosevelt was to know
Of it and approve Of it. 1t is hardly
likely the Standard Oil Company would
want to throw away such a stupendous
fortune. Nor is 1t likely that an in
telligent person IN America doubts that
Candidate Roosevelt did know and ap-
prove of this timely gift of cash.
That Theodore Roosevelt says Mr..
Archbold is a liar does not alter the
situation in the least. Calling men
liars in the face of proven facts is a
typically Rooseveltian habit.
1t is stated on what seems to be good
authority that George W. Perkins. one
time partner of Mr.. ]. P. Morgan and
the present head of the Harvester
Trust, has already spent 100000 in
the effort to make Roosevelt president
again and that this angel stands ready
to make still more enormous disburse-
ments.
Be this as it may. Mr.. Perkins is the
chief Bull Moose advisor and the
Roosevelt people have evidently been
heavily financed by somebody who is

PENSACOLA AND
PENSACOLIANS
FIoraIa at Pensacola.

floFaia at PENSACOLA.
The management of the F1orala fair
and the business men who took part in
the recent meeting with Manager N. j.
Lillard of the Interstate Fair at Pen
sacola, did wisely in determining to
send an exhibit from this city.
The Interstate Fair is a growing
concern. Since its beginning in 1909
it has shown wonderful vitality and
1t is now a permanent Institution, des-
tined to become an annual event of
national reputation.
That F1orala will be able to make
an agricultural exhibit second to none
at the fair goes without saying, pro-
vided, however, that those best qualified
to collect an exhibit together will take
an interest in the matter and go to
work with energy and determination.
Pensacola will be the outlet for at
least seventy five per cent of the
enormous yield of soil products which
this section of rare fertility is des-
tined to send to the markets of the
world, and it is well to cultivate
friendly relations with that city.
1t is, of course, to Pensacola's in
terest to attract to its market as large
an area of adjoining territory as pos
sible. The existence of these mutual
interests, therefore, necessarily point
out the significance attached to the
determination to make Florala ex-
hibit at this years fair.-F1orala Dem

A New Charm
Against Marriage.

Cleveland man has solved the
problem OF avoiding rash and possibly
unhappy marriage. His experience
ought to be guide to all young men
who look upon the first love affair as
nex1 to marriage and marriage as next
to heaven.
Nearly three years ago this man Sc
cured license to wed. But he Gid not
wed. He merely carried the license
about in his pocket just like some
people carry physicians prescription.
waiting until the disease shows signs
Of breaking out again before they get
IT filed. On little different principle
people have been known to carry a
potato as a cure for or charm against
rheumatism.
The license to wed was an effective
charm against marriage. Perhaps the
thought that the prize was SO near and
could be SO easily and quickly obtained
caused a depreciation in his estimate
Of its value.
Anyway, he has returned the license
unused and taken out another with a
different lady's name connected with
bis own.
1t would be interesting to know, If
the figures could be obtained, how
many marriage licenses would ever be
used If all were taken out nearly three
years in advance. Perhaps very few.
1t is likely that most young men would
do very much the same thing this
young man has done.

Federal Omce-Holders
Under President Wilson.

Brother Harris of the Ocala Banner
has the kindness to express himself
as follows on more or less discussed
subject:
The Punta Gorda Herald says that
Frank Mayes and the "progressives'
who won out at the Baltimore conven-
ton, should have the offices. OF course,
if 1t were the offices that they were
fighting for and only the offices, why,
let 'em have 'em. But that is rather
a low plane, and we cannot get our
consent to believe that that was the
compelling power at Baltimore. Frank
Mayes is too big man, and we scout
the idea SO far as it applies to him.
The editor of The Journal is much
more interested in seeing Governor
Wilson elected president than he is
in who fills the federal offices after the
election.
AS a matter Of fact, the chief talk
and worry and uneasiness about those
federal jobs seems to come from the
people and papers that opposed the
nomination of Governor Wilson. We
have not noted that any of the original
Wilson men are even discussing the
subject.
AS The Journal sees it, the duty of
all Democrats now is to forget the
pre- convention differences, help raise a
campaign fund, and exert every pos
sible effort to secure the election of
the Democratic candidate.
It will be time enough to consider
the federal offices after Wilson is
elected.

Georgia Committee
Setting Good Example.

The Georgia committee on finance
appointed by the national Democratic
committee to seek contributions to the

address to the Georgia people. In this
address are these paragraphs:

THE money to defray its costs is to
come straight from the people. It is
fitting to the fullest degree that it
should be so.'
The example Of this Georgia COM
mittee is one that should be emulated
in Florida.
This state is as sure to cast its cleo
toral votes for Wilson as the sun is to
rise on election day. But in other
states. victory is not so certain. And
in these states 1t is proposed to wage
an aggressive and vigorous campaign.
Considerable money will be needed to
help defray the legitimate expenses of
this campaign.
The rich and the powerful interests
and corporations would not contribute,
even If the Democratic committee
would permit them to do so. Their
interests lie in another direction.
