HOME RULE FOR CITIES

One of the planks in the platform
of Cromwell Gibbons, candidate for
governor, is the home rule for cities
in which they can change their char
ter without resorting to the legisla-
ture. If the bill can be passed at
the next meeting of the legislature
it will eliminate the time-killing char
ter bills that clog every meeting of
the legislature and are never salts
factory. Sanford had a taste of it
last year and our people will appre-
ciate the efforts of Mr. Gibbons to
bring the subject before the attention
of the state. The city can make any
changes necessary at any time with
out waiting two years for the legisla-
ture to meet. Any city is able to
make changes in their charter and
should be allowed to do so.-Sanford
Herald.

AS BROAD AS THE STATE

If all of the constituents of Hon.
s. NJ. Sparkman could read tie ap-
preciative editorial published by the
Ocala Banner in its issue of the 18th
inst, under the expressive headline,
Congressman Sparkman Gets the
Goods" there would be better and
more thorough comprehension of the
wide scope of his usefulness and the
immensely of his industry.
II has been an impression more
common than consistent with truth
that his activities have been to a
large extent confined to the bound
aries of his own district, and the adj
vocates of his rival have disingen-
iously sought to disseminate the idea
that he has worked for Tampa to the
exclusion of other equally deserving
points in his district. To those who
read and observe, and consequently
know the truth it is not necessary to
present evidence of the falsity of
these notions. That the interior as
well as the coast has profited by his
endeavors is evidenced by the edi-
torial to which we refer above.
1t states that citizen of Ocala has
received a letter from the congress-
man stating that the latter had sue
ceeded in getting into the rivers and
harbors appropriation bill for the
present congress an item of $50, 900
for the improvement of the Oklawaha
river, to be used in the construction
of a lock, and the Strengthening and
deepening of the channel.
He has also been successful in pro-
curing the insertion in the same bill
Of another item of $4,000 for a SIM
liar purpose in connection with the
Withlacoochee river-for the building
of a lock and the dredging and
Strengthening of the channel
The Banner adds that this is a be-
ginning, and will afford sufficient
means for present work and that 'if
Mr.. Sparkman is kept in congress it
ultimately means the completion of
the Mississippi to Atlantic waterway
across Florida, along the Oklawaha
and Withlacoochee rivers route, and
Marion, Lake, Sumter and Citrus
counties, will surely be on the map"
The Banner forcibly concludes its
article with the words, ITO make a
change in congressman for this dis
trict at this time or at any future time
before this canal is completed, would
be a great misfortune to the people
of Florida. We need Mr.. Sparkman's
services a great deal more than he
needs the position. Tampa Times

LESS FOR WAR-MORE FOR
PEACE
LESS

In a recent speech delivered in con-
gress, Hon. Thomas L. Rubey of Mis-
souri, said:
Let us cease our great appropria-
tons for war in this age of peace.
Let us increase our appropriation for
the agricultural department, and for
those things that will improve and
build up the farm. Let us give great
er attention to internal improvement,
the dredging of rivers, the construc-
ton of public highways, and the pass
age of bills which will benefit the
great masses of American people,
Let us do this, and the congress of
the United States will bring about a
great change for good in the condi-
ton of affairs throughout the land.
Do this, and farm life in this country
will be made the best and the most
desirable than can be found any,
where"

ABRAHAM LINCOLN VS.. JEFFER.
SON DAVIS

Mr.. J. w. Brewster, a visistor to
Florida, writing from Pensacola to
the Detroit Free Press, says: 'In this
southland they celebrate the birth
day of jeff Davis, but ignore the
birthday of Abraham Lincoln" We
are willing to wager that the people
OF the south, almost without excep-
ton, not only regard with tolerance
the memory of Abraham Lincoln, but
say more loving things about him
than the people of the north say
about Jefferson Davis; and yet Mr..
Lincoln deprived the people of the
south of more than four billions of
their property. He did this not only
without due process of law, but in
violation of the plain terms of the
constitution. Surely the people of
the north can have no such grievance
against Mr.. Davis. Yet invading
their territory and sequestering their
property, the people of the south are
big enough and broad enough to pay
due and loving respect to the men,
DRY of Abraham Lincoln, but it is ex-
tremely rare that northern writer
mentions the name of Jefferson Davis
except with a sheer.

WHAT THE EARTHWoRM DOES
FOR MAN

The humble earthworm is one OF
mans best friends. The farmer and
the gardener could not do without
him. DR.. j. Newton Friend tells
about him in Science Progress. From
DIR. Friends observations it appears
that worms aerate the soil in yarie-
ty of ways.
In burrowing through the soil the
worms render it more porous and
permeable to gases, not merely by
virtue of the air spaces formed, but
by reason of the fact that the soil is
continually kept in gentle motion.
Again, the soil, passing through the
bodies of worms, is excreted in a fin
er condition, being ground by attri-
ton through the intestines. Darwin
estimated that no fewer than fifteen
tons of soil annually pass through the
bodies of worms for every acre.
Further, worms breathe in oxygen,
and exhale carbon dioxide, and the
latter gas, as is well known, readily
dissolves in water, forming an acid
solution which will render alkaline
earths and metallic oxides-e. G.,
iron-soluble.
Worms materially aid in producing
soluble salts of iron in the soil when
other agencies-e. b., dilute mineral
acids-fail The iron is evantually
given back to the soil in a more sol
uble condition, and presumably in
one which can be directly absorbed
by plant roots.

Let's sect was something like
eight years ago that Candidate Brow
ard was telling us of the amount OF
sugar that could be and was going to
be produced in the Everglades. That,
too, was after Disston's disastrous
experiments in the region bordering
on the Everglades. The then candi-
date for governor told us that sugar
would be produced there in such an
abundance as not only tC furnish the
entire United States, but foreign
countries as well. AS far as our in
formation goes, not a ton has yet
been grown in that region. The Ev-
erglades phantasmagoria seems to
have a fondness for candidates seek
ing office and leads them to make
very eXtravagant public utterances.
The suggestion of transporting con-
victs down there to plant sugar cane
when the drainage question is not yet
solved, and the planting of crops is
in the experimental stage, is as Wis
ionary and fantastical, and is likely
to prove as disastrous as the south
sea bubble. Planting sugar cane in
the Oklawaha river swamps was
shown to be practicable during our
civil war, for the Confederate armies
were largely supplied with sugar
made in that region. For the state
to buy up the Oklawaha river swamps
and plant sugar cane upon them with
convict labor would not be bad
proposition. 1t would not be neces-
sary to supply the convicts with ca
noes and life-preservers.

Mr.. and Mrs. N A. Callison of the
Springdale Stock Farm, located near
Gainesville, passed through Ocala
Friday in their automobile bound for
Woodmar, where they will be the
guests of Commodore and Mrs w. r.
Goodwin for several days. They had
a pennant of the University City and
several Irish pennants floating from
their car, and today will participate
in the celebration of ST. Patrick's Day
with Commodore Goodwin, members
of the Lake Weir Yacht Club and the
citizens of Lake Weir generally. The
celebration is going to be a big af-
fair and is looked forward to with a
great deal of interest by all the dwell
ers of the lake. Before leaving for
the lake, Mr.. and Mrs. Callison took
a trip to Silver Springs, and were
charmed with their beauties. They
We're prodigal with their praises of

The Pensacola Journal comments
with thrilling interest upon Mr.. Bry-
ans speech before the Columbus
(Ohio) constitutional convention, in
which the Journals favorite states

ment other than &c to H. Imperial
ism" guarantee bank deposits" etc,

and recall" those potent, potential,
positive and specific cures for all the
ills that human governments are
freighted with, and the Journal is GU
rious to know whether the people of
Ohio will follow Mr.. Bryan or Gov
ernor Harmon ON those beautiful,
rose-colored, rainbow-tinted issues.
Judging the future by the events of
the past it is quite safe to hazard a
guess. But what's the odds? If Mr..
Bryan loses out, he will loom up a
more commanding figure in defeat
than he would in victory. His
strength is in defeat 1t would be
wrong to deprive him of it's pleasures.

The most important factor of all
in the prevention of our commonest
complaint of colds, is the habitual
breathing of pure air. Certainly
ones blood has enough to do to take
care of the waste constantly thrown
off by the body without having to alb
sorb additional impurities from with
out; and it must be plain to all that
it is impossible for bad air properly
to aerate the blood which is returned

GUARDIAN TELLS WHERE 1T
STANDS IN THE LEWIS CASE.
Calls Bar Association Committees Ae-
ton Insult to Whole Race.

The attempted ousting Of Hon. Will
liam q. Lewis, assistant attorney gen.
eral Of the United States. from the
American Bar association by its exec
utive committee is most reprehensible
and indefensible, says the Boston
Guardian. 1t is frankly done solely
because he is a colored man. Therein
lies the most reprehensible part of it.
1t is simply pure color prejudice. No
complaint is made against Mr.. Lewis
as to ability or character. Such would
not suit the purpose of the executive
committee.
Its report clearly shows it wants
to make the association exclusive for
white men. For this reason the GUST
ing Of Mr.. Lewis Is an injustice, pro-
scription aimed at the colored race. 1t
Is an insult to the colored race in that
1t seeks to deny to all colored lawyers
recognition as part and parcel Of the
American people as far as the profess
sion Of the law goes, to deny them pro.
fessional and public social recognition.
This prescription for color, this de
NAL of'recognition as part Of the social
and political body, is what the Guard
ian chiefly fights. We are therefore
entirely against the action Of the exec.
utive committee Of the American Bar
association in this matter. The person
atty Of Mr.. Lewis has no bearing.
The method used to GUST Mr.. Lewis
is entirely indefensible under the con-
stitution and bylaws Of the association.
Mr.. Lewis was solicited to become a
member. He was recommended by
his state council of the association and
voted In by the executive committee
and in solicitation paid his dues and
was given a receipt. Under its rules
this completes a membership.
The committee, not finding color
stated as a disqualification in the rules
and constitution, seeks justification in
the usual manner because it did not
know Mr.. Lewis was colored. 1t must
admit his state council knew his color
and as he was not asked by it he had
no opportunity for deception. The COM
mittee has failed to show that it has
the power or authority to do what II
sets out to do.
