Hon. Ion L. FarriS, democratic nomi
nee for representative from Duval coun.
ty, has announced his candidacy for
speaker OF the House Mr. Farris was
the popular Speaker of the 1909 session,
and while his announcement of the past
week is the first authoritative statement
on the subject, it is nevertheless a fact
that his numerous friends among the
members of the coming legislature have
long been urging his candidacy and
many have been actively engaged in
securing pledges for his support. Mr..
Farris will be the candidate of the pro-
gresSive element in the legislature and
as such will probably be elected, He is
legislator of experience and has al.
ways been a consistent friend of the
people as opposed 10 corporate influence
and menace.

Come and See." John 1889.
Today would have you estimate
the intrinsic influence of Jesus
through the medium of Christian
Art. In a sense, He is impossible
10 Art, His Deity is invisible, save
as shown in actions. And of His
human form no portrait exists as a
model for the painter or the sculptor.
Nor has any artist OF the pen given
us even a word picture OF Him. The
seer of PatmoS does give US his YER
sion of the vision OF the Son of Man
in Rev. /: so. But it is not the
portrait that we might have expected
from the beloved disciple" the
intimate OF the incarnate Jesus. Nor
is il such as he would have given had
he been writing out of human re.
collection, and notify inspired vision.
And while il is splendid, noble, ma
leslie, consistent and awesome, il is
impossible for the canvas. Beautiful
and fitting in language, ii would be 4
monSlroSity in paint. All of the ar
listic portrayalS of Jesus are, there
fore, idealiStic. And one beauty OF
this idealism is in its breadth.
Every artist paints the Christ with
the features of his own race. To
the German, He is German; 10 the
Hebrew, Jew; TO the Italian, Italian.
This idcalizing of Jesus in Art pro.
claims the world appropriation OF
Him. They all would have Him all
their own. Every generation that
has an ideal OF Jesus conceives that
in becoming like unto man He be-
came like their type OF man. And
why is it so? Why do they want TO
claim Him? You answer. Art is
historic enough TO try TO catch Christ
in all His essential attitudes. Devout
genius has toiled, alike, over the
Nativity at Bethlehem, and the
Translation from OIivet; and over
every notable scene that lies be-
tween. Every part of His outward
life is emphasized in Art. Why?
Will you answer? And as we follow
the life of the Master in picture, we
remember that we are following
where the greatest genius leads. 1t
is not the paStimc OF the light and
trifling to portray Him and His
mighty Passion. No, he is the
theme of the masters. Here the
DoreS, the MunkacsyS, the RaphaelS,
the Da NinciS, the Angeles, the Art
princes of the world, toll. Why?
Why, indeed, but that the Divine
Subject is the chieleSt among Ten
thousand, the altogether lovely?

in his paper last week TO an historical
sketch of former special legislative SeS.

OF SIS, OOO was appropriated 10 defray the
expense. The special session OF June,
1869, was called by Gov. Harrison Reed
and continued II days. Ii followed the
making of the constitution OF 1868, and
was mainly for the purpose OF enacting
revenue laws and repeating all former
acts relating TO taxation. 1t was at this
session that Article XIV of the Federal

Concrete Construction.

As people throughout the country be.
gan TO realize the advantages of concrete
houses, ii happened unfortunately in
many cases, especially in small towns
and villages, that men entirely ineXpc
rienCed in concrete work engaged in
such. Designs were made by architects,
who had no experience in concrete de
signs forms were built by carpenters,
who knew nothing about the nicely of
their trade, using poor timber-accord.
ing 10 their idea good enough for mere
formS-making inaccurate and Slovenly
work; concrete was mixed and poured
by men who thought it good economy
to save a bag of cement here and there,
save steel rod now and then! Let me
here add the remark, that rigid statistics
prove, that out of disasters and accidents
in concrete work 900 are due 10 poor
design, poor work, careless handling
and use OF material.
In building a concrete house remem-
Der, that just as your form work is, so
will the concrete be; use poor timber
with leaky, open joints, and your Ce-
ment will run out, leaving lean, weak
concrete with rough, ugly surface; let a
second class carpenter do your work,
and your concrete will show il in
crooked walls and inaccurate dimcn.
sions; Skimp your cement, and your con
crete will repay you in lack OF strength
and durability.
After many years of experiments a
couple of northern firms have put on the
market sectional steel forms that seem
10 fill long felt want. These metallic
sections or plates are secured together
edge TO edge, forming molds, into which
the concrete may be poured. They are
secured together by staple and key fas
Jennings, by bars extending across The
moldspacc. They are rigid, give the
concrete a smooth finish, can be han
died by any IaborerS under an intelligent
foreman, are quickly adjusted and shift
ed. Given good designer, the right
amount of material and a conscientious
foreman, and anyone can get a concrete
house, that is dampproof and fireproof,
cool in summer, warm in winter. Don't
think ii is restricted TO severe, uniform
lines; you can have winding StairwayS
and picturesque COrniCes, mullioncd
windows and Greek columns; with diff
ferent pigments in the cement, you can
give the concrete any Color-and the
color stays. Remember, this is the Con
crete Age; whether you are rich or poor,
high or low, if your savings are enough
to build yourself home, if you intend
TO build on speculation, the concrete
house is the one for YOU For truly the
day of the rckety, infammable wooden
house is past. D. BLUNlE.

Baker County Standard: AT the re,
quest of the Jacksonville Board of
Trade, which presented petition
signed by over three thousand citizens
OF Jacksonville, Governor Gilchrist has
called an extra session of the legislature
to convene on Oct. LIST, for the purpose
OF passing legislation allowing the city
to bond for buying and establishing mu-
nicipal docks. This will no doubt be a
big thing for the commerce Of Jackson
vile, but we do not see why they could
not have waited until the regular session
next year. While we do not predict
anything that sounds like calamity, ii
is the opinion of many that this is a
rather dangerous precedent TO establish,
in that the Board of Trade is TO pay the
expenses of this session. There is
nothing TO stop any one from calling
such session again il he had things
coming his way enough to stand for it.

Legislation is for All, not the Few

Claude L'Engle's Dixie: Important
as the municipal dock project for Jack
Sonvile is, ii would be far better for il
10 wait six years instead of the six
months required at this time, than TO
establish the precedent that anybody al
interest might call special session Of
the Legislature, provided he is willing 10
pay for ii, and thus 10 use the peoples
law-making power for the particular ad
vantage OF any person, any number OF
persons, or any corporation, municipal
or otherwise.
1t Is the tendency in nearly all OF the
States 10 do away with special privilege.
10 make the legislature serve all of the
people equally, instead of serving few
of the people specially.

KiSSimmee Gazette: Governor Gil

an extra SESSION of the legislature TO con
venc October 1. The session is called
at the instance OF the Jacksonville
Board OF Trade. Jacksonville wants 10
acquire water front for municipal docks,
and legislative authority is necessary foI
the purchase. The Jacksonville com
mercial body presents the matter and
the Governor yields to the demand.
The papers of the State are generally
opposed 10 the extra session. The
legislation proposed is special legisla.
ton, in that ii concerns one municipal
ty only. 1t might be commended thai
the legislation proposed is general in It's
Ultimate analysis on the ground that to
extend the commerce OF Jacksonville as
a port is 10 extend the commerce of the
State, but this al best would be SpeCious
argument.
The Gazette rather suspects that the
Governor has in mind some legislation
that he wishes enacted under his ad
miniStration; legislation that he inau
guraied and would naturally like TO see
written into law and approved BY him
self as Governor. The Jacksonville ag
ilation offers him very good excuse
for assembling the Legislators.
The Governor recently called the
circuit judges into conference 10 sugges
remedial legislation for defective laws
now in force. The conference made :
number OF recommendation which ap
pear good. Governor GilchriSt is duly
entitled 10 credit for calling the judges
together, and if their recommendations
are acted upon favorabiy, or if any o
them is adopted, Governor GilchriSt i:
entitled TO whatever credit may attach
10 their enactment; he conceived the
idea and put it in force. If these rec
concentrations are not acted upon a
the extra session, they will go over &c
the next legislature, which will be con
vcncd under another Governor.
