Tallahassee, June 15.--Governor GIL
christ desires a conference of the
eleven circuit judges of Florida and to
this end has written to each asking If
he can come to Tallahassee Oh July
16 for conference relative to needed
changes in the law, and If so their ac-
tual. expenses will be paid out OF the
contingent fund. The following is a
copy Of letter he has sent to each Of
the judges, and he has already re-
ceived several favorable replies:
My Dear Sir: In conversation re-
Gently with one Of the circuit judges,
1t was suggested to me that much good
to the state might result IL a confer
ence could be held in Tallahassee this
summer, between the several circuit
judges for the purpose of discussing
what changes are needed in the laws
and agreeing upon recommendations
in that connection to be made to the
governor. OF course, such a confer
ence would be more or less informal
The idea has appealed to me, however,
as valuable, and I write to ask If you
could come to Tallahassee on July 16,
to attend such a conference. am
writing a similar letter to all of the
circuit judges. The judges themselves
would have to determine the duration
of the conference. 1t would afford me
pleasure to pay from my contingent
1unQ, the acb1d1 expenses luCuIICO w
the Judges on the trip. / would de-
sire that the judges not only point
out needed changes in the law and
make recommendations, but that they
draft bills to be submitted to the next
legislature, covering their recomnen-
dations..
Kindly let me hear from you about
this matter.
Very truly yours,
ALBERT w. GHCHRIST,
Governor"
The conference will, of course, as
the governor states, be informal, but
some suitable record of its proceedings
will doubtless be preserved for the
consideration Of the next governor and
the next legislature.
It is obvious that the circuit judges
are in a peculiarly favorable position
to know what changes are needed in
the statutes of the state and are pc
cullarly well qualified to frame drafts
of statutes to embody the desired
changes.

ROOSEVELT MEN FIRST.

AS records of the secretary showed
the Roosevelt delegation, headed by
Cecil Lyon, had first filed its creden
tials, the Taft delegates, headed by H.
F. McGregor, appeared as the contest
ants.
Col Lyon again declared the Taft
delegation had not made a legal con-
test, because its briefs and arguments
had not been filed until yesterday.
Frederick c. Bryan, one of the Taft
contest attorneys, began the argument
Col Lyon is the Republican party
in Texas" declared Mr.. Bryan. He
is the Republican national committee
man and runs things absolutely. The
fight in Texas has been largely a fight
against Colonel Lyon and he promises
to be both the beginning and the end
of the party in the state IL he is al
lowed to seat his delegation here this
year"
Mr.. Bryan likened Colonel Lyons
control of Texas Republican politics
to the rotten borough" systems of
England.
Under the system maintained by
Colonel Lyon" he said. each county
is given one vote in the state con-
vention and an additional vote for each
500 voters in the county. AS a result
$50 western counties, which cast
about 5000 votes, have voice in the
convention wholly disproportionate TO
that Of Dallas, which alone casts that
many votes"
The real sentiment IN Texas, de-
clared Mr.. Bryan, was for Taft There
would have been large majority for
the president throughout the state. he
said. and a big majority in the state
convention but for Colonel Lyons 'po-
litfcal brigandage" and steam roller
methods, by which Republicans voters
were disfranchised-
POLITICAL BRfGANDAGE.
Colonel Lyon was charged by Mr..
Bryan with the worst type Of political
brigandage-"
Mr. Bryan said Colonel Lyon ap-
pointed his own county chairman and
made up paper lists" Of delegates and
credentials from counties where there
were not two Republican votes"

DOUBLE LUCK

you may claim him even IL you never
speak to him again"
A week went by, Dorothy spent
most OF her time at her typewriter,
while Helen kept the tiny apartment
beautifully neat and clean and pre-
pared the meals on the gas stove.
Twice a day they went for a long
walk, and on one or two occasions
met Peter Harris on the stairs. They
always spoke pleasantly but hurried
on, though he showed a disposition
TO linger
One afternoon Dolly had gone out
alone. Helen remained at home to
cook supper. Suddenly the huge
toasting fork she was welding
slipped from her hand on to the sill,
through the window and was gone.
She watched its fight in breath
less fascination until IL landed with
q Chang on the pavement at the feet
Of yound man who was passing.
Helen saw him stoop to take 1t, then
look up to see whence It came
She drew in her face and ran down
the stairs to recover her property. At
the third flight she met the rescuer
OF the toasting fork bringing 1t to
her.
rs this yours?' he asked, a quiz
.Zical look in his eyes.
Yes" she said, with a gentle dig
nifty which sat well upon her. Thank
you for troubling to restore it,"
Don't mention IT, / think neigh
bors ought to be neighborly, and |
promise II your property strays my
way again / shall take pleasure in re-
storing it TO you"
He watched her with admiration as
she assembled the stairs and was al
most run over by a plump, dimple-
checked authenticated young WON
an, who seemed as distracted &C MIN
self
The girls laughed over his adyen-
ture as they had over the other, and
agreed as before. that they must be
careful OF this knight OF the toast

prove Troublesome.

The young man who was walking
aimlessly down the corridor looked
up in amaZement, to encounter a
flushed young face lit by a pair OF
pleading gray eyes.
Locked in? Who did Il? What
for? or course I'll help you. II YOU

Dolly smiled. showing a dimple

ing up her story writing and doing
stenographic work until she could
discharge the obligation to him.
One afternoon the doctor and his
friend remained so late that she
asked them to tea.
While she and Peter were laying
the table, Helen and the doctor
watched them from the other room.
Helen frowned.
Dorothy ought not to marry a
poor man. She ought to stay single.
or marry money"
And why?" inquired the doctor
with interest.
Because she has genius. and for
her genius to develop properly she
should not be bothered about the
loaves and fishes. And. besides, her
cooking would drive any man to
drink
You needn't worry about that IL
she married Peter You see what a
good cook he is. And then-he isn't

to do it on some Of his many camping
expeditions. He is really a very rich

without a word to her picked up the
injured young lady and proceeded to
carry her to her room in his arms.
When Dorothy unlocked the door,
he deposited his lovely burden on the
little white cot inside. While he was
removing the shoe from the rapidly
swelling foot. st. Peter arrived with
the bandages for which he had been
sent. and soon the Doctors deft fing-
ers had bandaged the injured ankle
and arranged it as comfortably as
possible.
After receiving the thanks o. the
girls, the young men returned to the
apartment below and settled them
selves for coy smoke.
After smoking in silence for a
while the doctor said: BY Jove, did
you ever see anything so exquisite?"
Never" returned Harris emphat-
ically, but the doctor was thinking
OF the pale, sweet face with its aure-
ole of golden hair as 1t lay on the pill
low while Harris could see nothing
but the round, flushed. childish face
with the big gray eyes full Of tears
and anxiety.
The next day the doctor called
twice upon his patient, accompanied
both times by his friend. The first
time they found Dorothy wrestling
with the gas stove. her cheeks pink
er than ever. her auburn hair more
tumbled. Helen was propped up or
her cot.
