FLOWERS AND WEEDS BLOSSOM
ALIKE IN GODS GARDEN

Rev. DR.. Robert Colyer, now in his
eighty-eighUn year, preached in the
Church of the Messiah in New York
City last Sunday. He is still mentally
and physically vigorous, and his New
Years sermon was pronounced by
those who heard it as being eloquent
and affording much food for thought.
The venerable prelate started out in
life as a Methodist, but his views
along theological lines were too broad
for the orthodoxy of that church at
that time, and he was arraigned for
heresy. He resigned his pulpit and
became an Unitarian, and for many
years has been regarded as one of
the leading lights in that denomina-
ton.
He took for his text last Sunday
morning the following from Genesis:
God saw everything that he made,
and, behold, it was very good View
ing the new year as a period of new
birtht in spiritual views and aspira-
tions, he dwelt on ''The Morning Song
of Creation" and compared the earth
to Gods garden, in which mankind
were the flowers and the weeds, and
the churches the different schools of
moral horticulture. To the venerable
divine, flower and fruit, weed and
thorn, were alike good.
He referred with filial affection to
the Methodist church, and with a
broad love to all the churches, de-
scribing beautifully the garden plot of
each church and its peculiar culture;
how each church thought it's little plot
the best and it's flowers the most fra
grant and beautiful, but if they all
did not look alike to the Creator they
all had his benediction, and perhaps
the poor, neglected flower on the
plains or in the valleys would blossom
out in paradise with more effulgent
beauty, and that there was a purpose
in the weeds and chaff

SUGGESTION TO LABOR UNIONS

One of the correspondents of the
New York World says that the object
of labor unions has been to resist the
expressions of capital and that they
have in part succeeded, in securing
better wages and shorter hours.
If it is we'll, as it certainly is, for
a workman to get fairer share of
the fruits of his labor and have more
leisure, is it not as certainly we'll for
him to know better how to spend his
money and his leisure?
l suggest, therefore, that labor I'M
ions broaden their object, so as to en-
brace the whole question of the work
mans welfare. This can be done by
Transforming the unions into organ
izations with a double object: 1. To
establish balance of power between
labor and capital, with a view to mu-
tual fair play. 2. To enlighten and
lead the workmen to better economic
and hygienic habits.
For carrying out the second object
the unions will organize their own
clubs, with lectures, lessons, enter
tainments, ETC., adapted to their needs
and intelligence.

THE CRIME OF THE McNAMARA'S

A late issue of the New York Her
aid in an article on the subject OF
Misguided Sympathy" among other
things has the following to say:
"The cause of better relations be,
tween labor and capital has suffered
through the badly directed efforts OF
so-called Golden Rule" professors to
make it appear that the McNamaras
and the dynamiting ilk were merely
misguided instead of fiendish enemies
OF society,"
Along in the same connection the
editor of this paper was panied to see
in any newspaper, especially in any
southern newspaper, anything that in
anywise tended to mitigate or con
done the crime of the McNamara's by
pretending that it was less offensive
than some other real or suppositious
crimes and if it has accomplished it's
purpose by calling attention to it and
nipping it in the bud before it has had
time to bear evil fruitage, it is entire
ly satisfied.

ALL ARE GOOD MEN AND GOOD
DEMOCRATS

We hope that no democratic news
paper will say one word in disparage-
ment of the array OF candidates seek
ing the democratic nomination for
president.
Never before in the history of the
party has it had so much excellent
material to select from, and every
one of whom has shown his fitness
for leadership.
Harmon, Wilson, Clark, Underwood,
Dix, Marshall, Folk-what an array of
splendid men.
Either one is good enough for the
nomination. This paper favors Har-
mon first, not because it is in any way
opposed to the others, but simply be-
cause it thinks him the most availa-
BILE, and the one most easily to be
elected, for the reason that he has
twice been elected governor Of a re-
publican state, and is immensely pop
ular with the business interests and
industrial classes of the country.
If, however, the wisdom of the con-
vention selects Woodrow Wilson,
Champ Clark, or either one of the
others named, this paper will give
him the same measure of support, and
if all democrats will go into the cam
paign with that spirit we confidently
believe that victory will be ours.

BookWALTER AND GoMPERs I'M
PLiCATED

Before leaving indianapolis for
Philadelphia Detective William j
Burns openly charged former Mayor
Chas J. Bookwalter with a knowledge
that ]. ]. Mcnamara was guilty OF
dynamiting the property of Albert Won
Spreckelsen in October 1909.
Bookwalter among other things says
that he and Mcnamara, whom he
knew very we'll, were on street car
together in October 1909 when Nc.
Namara asked him tauntingly:
IF l had learned who blew up the
buildings. | was irritated those days
because l, myself had received. threat
ening letters and had to have a guard
at my house for sixty days, so l an
swered rather hotly, Yes, l could put
my hand on one of them without leav-
ing this car"
do you think Mr. Gompers knew
while these explosions were going on
who was responsible for them?"
"Gompers is the general Of a great
army, and, like a general, he did not
inquire when any Of his men were en-.
gagged i'll guerilla warfare. Of coure,
if they were called to his attention,
naturally he would rebuke them"
Gompers makes a general denial but
is not feeling as easy as he would like
to. The government is right behind
him and apparently is getting him into
close quarters.

MR.. FLAGLER is 80

Mr.. Henry Morrison Flagler, Flor
ida's great developer, celebrated his
S2nd birthday at the Ponce de Leon
Hotel at st. Augustine on last Tues
day.
kilograms of congratulations were
received by him all through the day
from friends and we'll wishers all over
the country, and he spent the day
quietly but delightfully."-.
The great wish of his friends that
he would live to see completed the
extension of the Florida East Coast
railroad from the main land to Key
West is about to be realized, as that
wonderful feat in railroad construc-
ton will be celebrated on the 22nd of
January.
1t is almost trite to say that Mr.
Flagler has been a great benefactor to
Florida, and whether he has spent his
money wisely or not, considered from
a personal standpoint, he has spent
his millions lavishIy and without re
greet and the people Of the state have
been the beneficiaries of his bounty
and he commands the respect and ad
miratiOn of her citizenship, except the
solitary few who feel that they are
commissioned to play stunts to the gal
lery gods.

JUDGE PARkHILL WILL NOT RUN
FOR CONGRESS

Judge Parkhill has announced pub
licly that he will not be a candidate
for congress from the third district,
but will enter into partnership with
w. H. Jackson, in Tampa, in the prac-
tice of law. Mr. Jackson was the law
partner of the late Judge Wall, who
died a few days ago, and who was
Judge Parkhill's father-in-law.
Judge Parkhill resigned from the
supreme bench, and it was not known
that his resignation was not for the
purpose of his entering into a vigor-
Gus campaign against his brother-in-
law, Mays, for congress, but he an
nounces that his resignation is not in
the least with view to helping Mays
for reelection. But it is because he
has the chance now to step right into
an established law practice, and his
action is for his best interest, finan-
cially, as he sees Jacksonville
Metropolis.

Mr.. FLAGLER'S GREAT ACHIEVE
MENT

The Manufacturers Record of Janu.
airy 4th devotes three pages to a de
scription of the "Over-the-Sea-R Rail.
road" now completed to Key West.
The writer pays Mr.. Flagler the fol
lowing splendid tribute:
ITO a nation the appropriations
from whose treasury total a billion
dollars a year the expenditure of a
hundred million dollars more or less,
distributed over a period of years,
makes little difference, but the con
struction from the private resources
of one man of $50 miles of the most
costly railroad ever built is an under,
taking of stupendous significance
even in this day of almost incalcula-
BILE fortunes. Yet, in no other way
could the Key West extension have
been built 1t required a combination
of the vision of a prophet, the faith OF
a crusader, the courage of his con.
victions and the wealth of a modern
Croesus, all combined in one person,
who had also the constructive bust.
ness ability, the certain grasp of de-
tails SO necessary to the accomplish
ment of all great undertakings That
these things all meet and combine in
the individuality of Henry NJ. Flagler
the contamination of this mighty
achievement will bear witness, &C
cording to one great railroad builder
when the pyramids of Egypt have
crumbled to dust"
