HITCHCOCK'S PROPOSAL.

Postmaster General Hitchcock IS
proposal that the government take
over the telegraph lines of the coun-
try and operate them In connection
with the post of &c will meet with
the hearty appro'sl Of the big ma
jority of the people.
Of course. the reactionaries and
ultra-conservatives will turn pale at
the thought and yell socialism at the
top of their voices. the people,
however, care not for such buga-
boos. What we want is results. The
government ought to do this thing if
it can do it better than a private
corporation; if it will benefit the
people; if it will give better SER
vice for less money, or the same SER
vice for less money.
One thing government ownership
and operation will do is to raise the
wages paid to messengers. The gov
eminent in its postal service hires
full grown men and pays them good
wages for doing the same things
that the telegraph companies hire
bows to do at miserable prices.
Thus both the service AID the wages
paid would improve.
There is no doubt that the charge
for the service il far higher than
it ought to be, and that under gov
eminent operation the cost to the
public would be much less than now.
Aside from this, as Mr.. Hitchcock
suggests in his recommendation, the
service could be made to reach all
the little towns which now do not
have the benefits of telegraphic
communication.
The Republican hopes the sugges-
t;on of the Postmaster General will
he adopted by congress and the peo-
nile given the benefits of government

THE PUBLIC NOTICES.

This is the month when the var
lous officers of the county, town.
ship and city are giving the people
itemized statements of the business
of these corporations during the past
year. The paper carries large
number of the reports in January
each year, and they are of great
value to the people.
There is the tax rate sheet, which
tells everyone just what he must
pay for the support of his state,
county ard township. The delinquent
tax list is given for two reasons:
To notify those who have not paid
that their property will be sold if
the taxes are not paid, and also to
tell others that these pieces of
properly may be bought for the
amount of the tax if not redeemed
by the owner The report of the
commissioners and of the auditor
and treasurer show what business
the county has done during the year,
where the money came from and
where it went to.
The annual publications by the
trustees likewise show just how
those officers have conducted the
business of the township during the
year. Any citizen or taxpayer may
scrutinize the items Of expense or
income and investigate all he chooses
The records must stand the test or
the official be "hauled over the
c0als.'
This policy in Indiana of publicity
In the doings Of all the officers Is Q
more important one than the tax
payer realizes. It is acknowledged
by all authorities that publicity is
the great corrector of wrong doing
In all lines of public as well as
private business. The commission
of able and learned men recently
appointed to investigate the best
method of dealing with corporations
have reported that the best plan
that could now be followed was that
of publicity in relation to all their
important acts.
When an official knows that he
must publish at the end of the year
all his doings for he year, and that
both enemies and friends will scru-
tinize his report to find any flaw if
they can, that officer is going to act
with the utmost care and discretion.
There is no doubt that the small
amount expended in the publication
of all these notices has saved the
people many thousands of dollars
every year The policy is a most
wise one for the benefit of the
people annd should be strengthened
at every point possible and extended
wherever good may be done by it.

EXPERIENCE HAS TAUGHT ME-

That most people who build air
castles forget to provide themselves
with ladder.
That artistic temperament" in a
genius is plain nerves in common
folks.
That the worlds bakery-it
roasts its thinkers and toasts its jok-
ers.
That team of mules pull together
better than man and wife because
there is but one tongue between
them.
That an audience is like wheel
the longer the spoke the greater the
tire.
That the reason Darwin is SO I'M
popular is because he took all the
glory out Of pedigrees.
That there are no ideal marriages

ALWAYS a CHANCE.

There are thousands Of young men
in the country who have neglected
to secure for themselves an educa-
ton.
The Never had a chance" man
will tell you that he had no money
and had to work for a living. That
is a strange thing. He would try to
convince you that he was the only
man in the world who ever had to
work for a living. because he had no
money
Now, as matter of fact, had the
Ee'er-do-well chap desired an educa-
ton, had he had any ambition, he
could have gotten it with but little
effort. Any young and ambitious
American can secure the advantages
Of a higher education if he so desires.
Strange to say, he does not need to
have money. Only this year blind
man finished his work and secured a
degree from Cornell He worked his
way through.
1t is not necessary to cite examples,
but this. one case of the blind man
is given because it knocks out COM
pletely the argument of all those
weakened brethren who cling fond
" to the word can't" An educa-
ton can be secured at any college in
the land by anyone who wants at.
To secure the coveted degree the Jl-
dergraduate must work in and out
of season. but he can finish in Che
time, and when he is
through he will have something Of
which to ast.-Jacksonville Me-

EDISON'S LATEST INVENTION.

If the New York papers are to be
believed the wizard Edison has sue
ceeded in solving a problem that has
been taxing the inventive genius Of
many mortal for the past three or
four years or ever since the moving
pictures were thrown on the screen.
Some attempts have been made to
supply the audible words, songs and
sounds that 60 with the pictures. It
seems that Thomas A. Edison has
found the solution. He has been
working on the invention for two or
three years and has now reached the
point where he is almost ready to
give the first public exhibition. The
new device is not expected to work
any great revolution in the moving
picture business other than to cause
the progressive people in the bust
ness to install the latest machines
And there are plenty of people who
viii continue to prefer the silent
drama.-st. Augustine Record.

YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE A CHANCE

If you go across the ocean, your
ship is liable to sink.
True enough, but if you travel on
land your train is liable to be
wrecked.
If you just jimmy around the home
town, your automobile is liable to
blow up or throw a tire and precipi-
tate you quickly into a ravine on
your elbows and shoulder blades.
If you go buggy riding your horse
is apt to shy at piece Of paper in
the road and kick you into the mid
die of the following week.
If you go out walking an automo-
bile is liable to scramble you up or
footpad is liable to tap you sud
denly yet firmly upon the dome Of
thought.
But if you sit still at home hum
dred things are liable to happen to
you. The gas stove is likely to blow
up, you may have fit, somebody
may shoot through the window by
accident, the house may catch fire,
some weary wayfsrer may come along
and sell you a lot of Turkish rugs,
lightning my strike the house, and
then there is always the possibility
of an earthquake.
At the very best you have got to
take a chance, whether you want to
or not.-Pensacola Journal.

Some people like to make a
"splurge" when they think it will not
cost them anything. For instance,
many men will make liberal pledges
of contributions to charitable or 9th

time having no idea OF ever actually
parting with the coin. They sign
their names to subscription paper
with a flourish, and are all pulled up
with the contemplation Of their be.

actually given the cash. iThose who
are given to the practice Of this cheap
species Of generosity shpald profit by
the example Of a Tampa man, who
subscribed literally to the fund for
q Y. M. c. A. in that city, but who
repudiated the Obligation when the
time for payment rolled around. The
court compelled payment, not only
OF the original subscription, but Of
a liberal bill Of costs In addition.
Many reputation for benevolence is
acquired by just such methods-the
world being invited to gave admir-

he gets behind the door.

THE BANANA In FLORIDA.
Everglades Magazine !

Everglades Magazine.)
The banana is by no means a new
fruit to Florida. It has been grown
here for local use many years.
Canova says it was the stealing of a
bunch of bananas which led to tbe
second Seminole war. Some survey
ors on the border Of the Big Cypress
cut some bananas from the garden
OF Billy Bowlegs, a Seminole chief
The surveyors admitted the theft and
refused to pay for the damage Then
the fight began and, all things CON
sidered, the cost of those bananas
was excessive.
People often wonder why we pay
SO high for bananas in a country
where they grow easily. The price
Is often higher than in New York or
Chicago. The reason for this is plain
A great corporation. with many plan
tations in the tropics, many ships and
q perfected distributing organization
can deliver a regular and constant
supply to the consumer at an almost
uniform rate throughout the year
South Florida is out Of their reach
and the business is not Of sufficient
size to tempt them. With Iargar
population, they could afford no doubt
70 send a boat to Miami and KEY
west once a week or oftener and
sell bananas as cheap as we can raise
them.
