HOW ABOUT THIS, COLONEL?

Recently a dinner was given to Os-
car Straus in honor of his long career
of public service. Naturally Theodore
Roosevelt was present, and was one
OF the first called upon for a speech,
says the New York Evening Post.
With little preamble, the ex-president
launched into an appreciation of his
ex-cabinet officers public record "Be-
lieve me, gentlemen" he said, when
| called Mr.. Straus to my cabinet |
was considering no questions of re-
ligion or race or station. I was con-
sidering only his fitness for the office
to which | had elected him. Neither
as German nor as Jew was Mr.. Straus
called to my cabinet-but simply as
the man most fitted for the position. .
The next speaker was Jacob H.
Schiff, who. as everybody knows, is a
bit deaf, and at times absent-minded.
After the proper greetings, the finan-
cier began slowly, my friends" he
said, when Mr.. Roosevelt wrote and
asked me whom l considered the best
Jew for the position SAN Fran
cisco Argonaut.
The colonel says that the above is
another Ananias performance.

SAUSAGE

All, breakfast is a cheerful meal,
with sausage sizzling from the pan,
and when I've eaten it l feel a noble
and a better man. The sausage base
ly is maligned by testers lost in men
tai fogs, who cannot lift the sordid
mind from vagrant cats and dogs.
Whene'er l view the smoking link of
sausage, f1anking buckwheat piles, l
float on pleasant dreams and think of
snowy pigs in verdant isles. The pigs
from which the sausage came were
surely washed in sparkling rills; each
wore a garland on it's frame, and fed
on dates and daffodils. Each pig was
nurtured on delights and breathed a
soft and scented air; twas killed with
sacrifice rites, and ground and stuffed
by damsels fair. And Araby the blest
was raked for spices pure, without
alloy; and when at last twas linked
or caked, | ate it with whoop Of joy.
l have no heart to sing the rose, the
lily or pomegranate sweet; the smell
of sausage hits my nose, and you'll
excuse me while eat.

COL. w. s. WEST TALKS ABOUT
GovERNoRsHIP

Col. w. s. West of Valdosta, former
president of the Georgia senate, and
now regarded as strong gubernato-
rial possibility, was among the visit
ors at the capitol Saturday morning.
Colonel West said he was not pre-
pared to make any formal announce
ment of his intention. He should like
the honor of being governor, he
frankly admitted, not only for person
al reasons, but because he wanted to
see south Georgia man In the chair.
There hasn't been one, he said, since
Governor Troup, who was elected SO
years ago.
Colonel West said he didn't think
a man ought to be elected from south
Georgia. however, merely because he
hailed from that section. What ne
hoped was that the section would pro-
duce the man who would measure up
to the office.-Atlanta Journal, Satur-
day
The whole state of Florida would
be for Colonel West. He is conserva-
tive. level-headed and unites in his
person all the traits of the plain, old
time southern gentleman, affable and
always approachable Record Flor
ida's vote for Colonel West.

A correspondent of the New York
Produce News says that so far as is
known the Sanford system Of sub
irrigation is not used in any other
part of the world. Government ex-
perts who have investigated it, pro-
nounce it the best poised method of
applying moisture to plant growth
that has ever been brought to their
attention. Land that has been titled
for this system has been brought up
in value from $3.50 to as high as
$3.50 per acre, this being the record
price paid for a 10-acre plot in 1910.
Conditions at Sanford make this To-
cally evolved system the only practic-
able one for the successful cultivation
of celery and root crops. There is
subsoil of clay, or as it is known in
Florida, 'hardpan," at an average
depth of three feet In a few places
this subsoil is found only "a inches
below the surface, while at other
POAAASo OAAO AOPNA AfG 10Cl.
1t is this subsoil which forms the ba-
sis Of this unique irrigation system
which has made the Sanford celery
delta famous. This same hardpan sub
soil is found at many points in the
state. Good drainage is another es-
sential element that enters into the
success of the system, since the till
ing also helps to remove the surplus
water during heavy rainfall. Again,
air largely enters into the successful
growing of root crops, and here again
the Sanford system has the lead, as
the tilling stand-pipes bring air to the
very roots OF the plant at a time of
their growth when most needed. What
is of equal or even more Importance
is the fact that sub-irrigation is also
great protection against frost.

Nothing on earth can smile but
man! Gems may fash reflected light,
but what is a diamond-fiash compared
to an eye-fash and mirth-fiash? Flow
ers cannot smile; this is a charm that
even they cannot claim. 1t is the pre-
rogative of man; it is the color which
love wears, and cheerfulness and JOY
these three. 1t is light in the win
dows of the face, by which the heart
signifies it is at home and waiting.
A face that cannot smile is like bud
that cannot blossom, and dries up on
the stalk. Laughter is day, sobriety
is night, and a smile is the twilight
that hovers gently between both
more bewitching than either.-Henry
Ward Beecher.

WHAT DOES ONE THINK OF THIsr

A late special from Macon. Ca. says
that in the United States court In ses-
sion there Judge Emory Speer ove-
ruled a motion made to disquaIify
him from hearing the Henry Harris
case, the charge being made that >
was biased and prejudiced. The iude
took the stand and testified for him
self. and afterwards decided he wa8
not disqualified.
And yet some people have a mig
mare when one mentions the recall -
judges. Judge Speer is an argumenc
in favor of the recall.

points. He grew so eloquent in his
enconiumns on the next speaker that
Willis Palmer spat out his chewing
gum, gave his coat ahitch and pulled
his necktie.
The chairman then said. "And these
qualities of an unterrified democrat
are now in the man / am about to
introduce"-(Palmer now got half
way up with pleased smile on his
face) the chairman finished-"Col.
Gus. Hartridge. of Jacksonville. "
Palmer sagged back and Gus" ram
med in the shrapnel with "unterrifed"
energy.
1t was then about eleven o'clock
and the carnage still went on.
After Hartridge had wrecked the
left wing of the republican party, the
chairman looked at Bob Anderson, but
he pleaded nostalgia and was excused.
Then the chairman said he had saw
ed the last for the best, and in glow
ing terms called Bob Burford 1.-The
silver-tongued orator of the OckIa
waha." or something to that effect
Burford arose. creaking somewhat
erom such long sitting. He was
attired in long prince Albert coat
with pants Of a dusty pearl color
He hypnotized the audience with his
presence and he struck down the last
remnant of the republican phlanx
For an hour or less he glorified,
magnifed and deffed Arthur Sewall
to the everlasting good of the dem
ocratic party.
Burford roared and perspired, dis
turbed the particles of the atmos-
phere into swirling eddies, and finally
beat his mighty fists in the audiences
face and with volumes of Sewall
bursting forth in his fervid peoration,
the last of the audience family stag
gered to the first friendly ambulance,
and the democratic party was saved.

THE sEA-GoINc RAILROAD


of the Florida East Coast Railroad
from Sat. Augustine to Key West will
mark the success of one of the most
unique engineering undertakings in
all the world. 1t deserves to be class
ed with the construction of the Pana-
ma canal, or any other tremendous
project that may be imagined. The
idea of running a railroad boldly out
to sea was thought by almost every
body, except Mr.. Flagler, to be Chi
merical, but he was confident that his
scheme was practicable, and he was
willing to back it with his money and
his reputation. For time the pro-
ject did seem to be bit shady. There
were entirely new problems that had
to be met and worked out. Construct
ors were pretty sure of their calcula-
tions when they involved building a
railroad on land, or across a swamp,
or across a river, but when it was a
matter of running the tracks right out
where the winds blow hardest and
the waves run highest, that was some
thing else.
But the engineers and the contract
ors and the guiding genius mixed
steel and concrete and money and
brains, with the result that they have
produced stretch of track that can
not be matched anywhere else on the
globe. Possibly the nearest approach
to it is the wonderful Salton shortcut,
across Salt Lake, that was built by
the late E. H. Hartman. While the
Hartman project presented Difficult
ties that puzzled the experts, 1t had
not to reckon with tides, currents and
tropical hurricanes. These considera-
lions had to be taken into account in
the Flagler scheme. When a tropical
storm blows out of the Caribbean, ii
is no respector Of persons or struc-
lures. 1t is asserted, however, that
the "sea-going" railroad is so firmly
PLACED on its arches of masonry that
TO hurricane out of the trooics can
possibly harm it. In time to come it
NAV be one of the pleasures OF sour
lists tc sit in a palace car AMI watch
fierce storm at sea.
The opening of the new line means
much for the commerce of the coun-
try and the development of the West
Indian Islands. Cuba, Porto Rico, the
Bahamas and all the others will be
brought closer to us. There will be a
more prompt exchange Of mails and a
more expeditions handling of freights.
Savannah and Havana will be made
neighboring cities, with a rail and
ship service that will encourage the
merchants of each to an extension of
territory.
1t is planned that the formal oeeu-
ing of the line shall be an information
al event, attended by the president of
the United States, members OF con-
Sres', governors of states and repre-
sentatives of foreign governments. It
viii be red-letter day in the history
Of Florida, and the man who made the
scheme possible will receive full
credit.-Savannah News.
