WHOM FOR PRESIDENT?

There are whole forests of demo
cratic presidential timber, the like OF
which the party has not known in
years.
Scan the list:
Judson Harmon, twice elected gov
ernor in one of the largest and strong
est republican states in the Union.
Woodrow Wilson, who has swung
New Jersey back into the democratic
fold after wandering about, and, like
the prodigal son, feeding on husks for
many years.
Joe Folk, who has won national
fame because of the grandeur of his
personality, and because of the indom-
table courage of his convictions.
Champ Clark, speaker of the house
of representatives, one of the
most amiable and delightful of men,
and one of the most solid and bril-
dainty intellectual.
Last, but not least, is Underwood,
who has gained a national reputation
by the colossal powers of his intel
lect, measured in debate with the
brightest intellects now in public life.
Any of these men will lend dignity
and splendor to the presidential of
fee
Let's be boosters, not knockers.
Let's be in a position to shout for
the nominee and give him such a ring
ing, united and magnificent support
that defeat will be impossible.

ON TO KEY WEST

On Monday, January p, the first
train will go over the new railroad to
Key West. The man who planned
and financed this over-the-sea railroad
is Henry NJ. Flagler, now in his SIND
year. Like every other man who Is
really worth while, who has accom-
plished great things. Mr. Flagler new
er has and never will get his full
mead of praise for attempting in the
face of difficulties this almost impos-
sible task. The Herald has never
felt inclined to gather flowers for the
dead, but to place the laurel wreath
upon the living, and we hereby &C
knowledge the debt that the state
owes Henry M. Flagler. May his
dream be realized before his span of
life is broken, and may his true mo-
tive of developing his adopted state
overshadow the commercial spirit
that clings around railroad enterprise
May the oversee railway not only
realize the dreams of the founder in
regard to development, but also real
ize the profit necessary to carry on
such large undertaking.
We hand the bouquets to Mr. Flag
Ter, with no scorpion of jealousy hid
den among the flowers to leave a
sting. He has a lasting monument to
his memory, such as no crowned head
viii ever leave to posterity.-Sanford
Herald.

THAT CANAL ACROSS FLoRil

In a letter from s. A. Thompson,
secretary of the national rivers ane

derson, secretary of the Mississippi
to Atlantic Inland Waterway Associa-
ton, Mr.. Thompson writes:
81 have been so busy with the work
of my own office that have not kept
up with the incoming reports; your
letter is the first intimation l have
had that an adverse report has been
made on the canal across Florida.
However, for projects that have merit,
adverse reports are simply incidents
in the campaign. You know that on
of the ablest engineers who was ever
connected with the corps Of engineer
made a very strong adverse repoH
against the improvement of the ST.
Johns river from tide water up to
Jacksonville. Within five years from
the date of that report, however, an
appropriation had been made, and the
work was under way, and I do not
think anyone could be found who
would say that the results have not
justified the expenditure many times
over. The only thing to do is to keep
right on with the campaign of educa-
ton. Whenever the public demand
becomes strong enough, congress win
order the work done, and the engt
neers will do it,
