AS TO SIDEWALKS.

In III Kindness, and meaning 40
reflection on OF criticism OF anyone,
is there any reason why there should
still remain good many places
scattered over the city where side
walks have not been laid? These
gaps, emphasized by the fact that
excellent walks have been built up
to either end of them. are an eye
sore and source of discomfort, es-
pecially during tn" rainy weather
we have been having. Over year
ago the City Council ordered side
walks laid on certain streets OF the
city. II liked /. reasonable limit, and
then gave no;ic. that the city would
nut down SiunM alkS where til" prop
erty owners had failed to do so, plac-
ing the cost of same aS charge
against the property. The majority
of the property owners complied with
the Councils order. but some ugly
muddy gaps are still scattered over
the city in some instances on much
Travelled streets. II does not contrib
ute to the good humor OF those who
promptly put up the money to place
sidewalks in front of their property,
to be compelled to wade through the
mud in front Of the property OF
others who choose to ignore the city's
order. There may be good reasons
why certain property owners are
absolved from compliance with the
general regulation, but people gen.
eraly do not know this. and COM
plant has been made to this paper.
Free delivery Of mails is scheduled
to begin May LIST. but the goverA-
ment makes a condition that side.
walks must be laid throughout the
delivery territory. 1t therefore be-
hOOves the city to see that the gaps
in construction are closed promptly,
unless there is some very good rea-
son. indeed, to defer the matter long
er.

GOOD ROADS CONVENTION,

Under the auspices of the Florida
State Good Roads Association, a con-
ventiOn is to be held at Ocala on the
9th of this month, and efforts are
now under way to arouse interest," in
the convention throughout the State.
So much has been said in the
cause of good roads. further discus
sion of the subject towards remind
ing the people of the great duty be-
fore them seems superfiuous. But
the subject is too big. too vast. too
important to be lightly passed over.
Nor can too much be said along this
line.
No state in the Union would be
benefited by good roads more than
Florida, and no State stands in great
er need Of hard surfaced highways.
Florida will always remain the IA
vorite wintering place of the thou
sands of jewellers of the North who,
when winter comes. seek a warmer
climate. Their annual visitations to
Florida leaves millions ofdollars in
this state. and with good roads as an
additional attraction the winter trav-
el to Florida would be increased four
fold. Better highways are a neces-
sity. and will come in time. but the
greatest need is to push the subject
for early and thorough work.-Jack-
sonville Metropolis.

NEGRO BISHOP
 FLAYS TEDDY
ANY COLORED MAN VOTING FOR ROOSEVELT WILL GET FREE PASSAGE TO HADES, so SAYS DIVINE.

Philadelphia, Aug. S-Bishop l.. J. Coppin, who presides over the Balti- nore Conference of the African Meth odist Episcopal Church, has come to the defense of the Republican party following the letter of Colonel Roose- welt to Julian Harris of Atlanta in which Roosevelt practically advocated the disfranchisement of the negroes in the South. Bishop Coppin says:
 1 had thought Roosevelt would be man enough to declare for equality and justice for the colored man. I have always been a stanch supporter of his until I read this letter. I see now he. is. not the man I thought he was and even though I supported him through the Brownsville affair I will no longer support him. He has read f us Out of the party and any colored man who votes for him after that let ter is voting himself a free passage I3to Hades.
 1T believe Bishop Heard is honest in his advocacy of Governor Wilson, but shall we leave the only party which has feyer given us anything to- gos to the one which, has always been our enemy?
 "No intelligent man can read that Roosevelt letter without getting. the Impression that Roosevelt does 2 not want us in the Progressive party. The press all over the country soHinterprets it.. We are not wanted there; we can not turn to the Dennocratics party for Ilthey are our enemies. We must, then, stand by the party that has been our Iffriend and which, with all its fau1tg, Lis our only reflige.'s |

DECLARES ROOSEVELT
 TO BE 4 SOCIALIST
Speaker Before Catholic Conference
 Attacks the Chicago Speech 4s

New York, Aug. 8.-David Gold stein, the first candidate of the So- cialists for Mayor of Boston, and now a Catholic convert, attacked the So- cialistic doctrines which he found in Theodore Roosevelt's Chicago con- vention speech before the Catholic conference at Fordham University last night. He said that many people de- clared they believed in the worthy teachings of Socialism, but these wor- thy things, such as shorter hours, bet ter sanitary conditions, Government ownership of roads and other com mon utilities, were appropriated from other movements. They were not S0- ciaIist tenets, he said. All tenets that were really of Socialism were false and contrary to right, TeasonS and common sense, he declared He men toned the Socialist theory of value. and the doctrine of the evolution of industry
 In his Chicago convention speech, Col. Roosevelt is all wrong in what he says about social changes" said MT. Goldstein. He seems to regard Socialism or Socialistic doctrines as biological conditions is to come, not by the adoption of legislation such as he proposes, although some might ap- prove such a course, but by changes in the philosophical teachings with which people are inoculated in pub lie schools and most of our colleges
 Socialism is irre1igfon against re- ligion, anarchy against obedience, self will against responsible authority"
 The present is the second confer ence to be held under the direction of German Catholics The present one is so successful that a third Ia already planned for next year.
