JUSTICE TO THE MEMORY OF
THE LATE n. 3. PLANT

The Lakeland News says that the
general impression is that the late II.
B. Plant, father of the great Atlantic
Coast Line railway S stem. had a good
deal to do with the development OF
south Florida, and putting it on the
map as the saying Is. But the Ar
cadia News denies this. and says: H.
B. did little toward developing this
section
The Tampa Tribune comes to the
rescue o. Mr.. Plants record and an
swers the News as follows:
"On the other hand, it is true that
Mr.. Plant, and the agencies which
he operated and directed. opened this
section of Florida to the world. His
railroad put it in touch with the rest
OF the country. HIS great hotels
brought to us our first real tourist
travel. His steamships connected US
with Cuba and made our section the
passage-way to the West Indies. 1t
was Mr.. Plant and his corps OF trans
portation experts WHO made Tampa
the mobilization point Of the Shafter
army, and who put all the surround
ing territory on the nap of the coun
try by reason Of tho important oper-
atoms attending the departure OF tho
troops for Cuba. If We are no. mis-
taken it was Mr.. Punt who first es-
tabiished an immigration and devet-
opment bureau in connection with his
railroad. This bureau pointed the
way for the homeseeEer excursions
and the colonization plans which
have, since Mr.. Plants death, been
settling the vacant places of south
Florida it'll industrious citizens fron
other climes.
Mr.. pant was the first man cf
great wetlth and with wide influence
in the world Of capital and transpor-
tation to become actively interested
in Florida. He chose the west coast
section 20 his field. It was a lucky
choice Tor this section. But for IN
Plant railroad, the Plant hotels. the
Plant steamships, the Plant industrial,
anda immigration departments. our
development r4 zen della.
ed Indefinitely, while Mr.. Flasler III
his millions were converting the east
coast into a pleasure-ground for the
nation.
South Florida owes much to Mr.
Plant. He pointed the way. He
sounded the first note OF invitation
and of welcome, AMI from his car
windows and veran1as of his hotels
the people of the north got their hrsi
close impressions OF this part OF the
state. They liked il, and they have
been con ing ever since. The men
who, with Mr.. Plant. i%naugurated this
movement in our direction. have pass
ed largely from the scene OF activity.
but their work remains and is bring
ing constantly increasing dividends 4
every enterprise and every citizen Of
south Florida"

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson has already
selected her aide. Miss Mary Bayless
of West Union, Ohio, will be her So
cial secretary when she occupies the
White House next March. Miss Bay
less was formerly clerk of the Ohio
legislature, and in the last year has
been serving as secretary to promi-
nent society women in the east. When
it comes to distributing offices it is
difficult to keep Ohio out of the lime

VIVID WORD PICTURE OF MRS.
WILSON

Readers of the Ocala Banner will
be interested in the following word
picture of the First Lady in the
Land" which was read by Mrs. Rob
ert Ewing at the meeting of the Viii
son-Marsnall Woman's League in
Nashville, Tenn:
While the personality of the pres
ident OF the United States is OF course
the most important question, | believe
all women are interested in the First
Lady of the Land, and being in pos
session of certain facts in regard TO
Mrs. Wilson, | thought you might like
to hear what manner OF woman she is
and what part she played as help
meet to her distinguished husband.
Ellen Arson Wilson came of dis
tinguished southern families. On both
sides her ancestors had been people
OF refinement and broad culture for
generations. She was a dark-eyed,
rather quiet child, with a beautiful
face OF remarkable sweetness, and :
shy, appealing smile, which she re-
tains TO this day.
She inherited a good, clear brain
and an Intellectual industry, which
mas stood her in good stead always.
Her father related this incident OF
her: 1t was suggested to her BY her
teacher at the close Of the term that
she might complete her geometry
during the summer vacation, and be
ready to 90 on with the class in trig-
onometry in the fall. No one thought
any more about it until just before
school opened for the autumn term,
when her faith asked her how she
had gotten on. on she replied. i
have finished geometry and gone all
through trigonometry also
she showed from her childhood a
talent for drawing and painting. and
studied for several winters at the art
league in New York, where she laid
the foundation OF her woIh.
During the early years of her mar
rage. being closely occupied as moth
er and houseko -.cr. she laid this work
aside. but Afterwards resumed it; has
S,ualed octh IN Earooe and this coun-
tr1. and nos ptodrced some things OF
ircat charm and beauty.
Mrs. Wilson is a striking illustra
ton OF the help that a wife can be to
her husband. Mr.. Wilson's ability
and ambition are so great that this
could not be said Il be a cas- of
what every WON knows. but had it
not been for his wife's wise and care
full management, the serene domestic
atmosphere she has maintained, her
and real assistance, her I'M
faltering belief in him and his ideals.
Woodrow Wilson might never have
attained to his present greatness"

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie says, and
truly says, that former presidents o.
the United States should be able 10
spend the latter part of their lives in
devoting their unique knowledge
gained Of public affairs to the good
of the public, free from pecuniary
care" If the government refuses
them a pension, Mr.. Carnegie is will
ing to step in and take the part of
the government. 1t is good of the
great philanthropist 10 make this of
fer, but Of course the public con
science would not permit the accept
ance of this bounty from an individ-
ual.

Editorial Note.
.ews and Courier, 9th.

News and Courier, 9th.
The News and Courier received the
foregoing communication from Cover
nor Blease by special delivery shortly
before midnight last night. 1t is print
ed with the utmost willingness. In
deed, it gives us great satisfaction to
give it the space which it requires.
The report of the campaign meeting
in Charleston as published in the News
and Courier did not pretend to be a
verbatim report, but in the audience
which heard Governor Blease and the
other speakers there were several hun
dred citizens of this community and
the News and Courier would be quite
ready to leave with them the question
as to whether or not it's account of the
meeting and of Governor Blease's re-
marks in particular was fair and ac-
curate.
As it happens, however, it is not
called upon to do so, nor is it neces-
sary for this newspaper to call atten-
ton to the fact that in every other re-
port of the meeting appearing in other
newspapers practically the same Ian
guage was put into the governors
mouth as that which in the News and
Courier he calls a misquotation.
The fact is that the language which
the News and Courier attributed to
Governor Blease unquestionably was
his own language because he revised
it himself with his own hand and the
copy is now in the News and Courier's
possession.
The reporter for the News and Cour-
ier not being absolutely positive as to
the verbiage employed by Governor
Blease in speaking of his intentions
toward Charleston in the event this
city voted for Judge Jones, an emin-
emily trustworthy representative of
this newspaper was dispatched to Gov
ernor Blease with note requesting
that he write out that statement"
This reporter found Governor Blease
at the Irish Volunteers Hall and to-
gether they went to the Charleston ho-
tel.
There Governor Blease borrowed the
reporters pencil and did as requested.
The statement as prepared by him
reads as follows, and it was so pub
lished:
ssI will be governor the last part of
August, all of Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec.
and 21 days in January, and if you
want government by injunction &
metro police vote for Jones & for the
rest of this year & the next 2 I will do
my best to give it you"
The News and Courier knows moth
ing of what Governor Blease's own
notes showed, and cares less. 1t does
know that the statement which he pre-
pared for publication in the columns
of this newspaper upon this point read
as quoted above, and it is so written
in his own handwriting.
If this statement did not accurately
express his sentiments, Gov. Blease
has only himself to blame.
