America Loses
Another Citizen.

Frank J. Gould. one of the sons of
the late Jay Gould. has declared that
he is no longer an American but that
his legal abiding place is Paris.
This declaration came In connection
with an attempt on Gould's part to
evade the payment of custom house
duties on the baggage he was bring
ing into the country. Collector Loeb
made the Gould party pay several
thousand dollars in duties. which was
done under protest.
Even should this nncean bird re-
nounce allegiance to his native land
altogether. the government at Wash
ington will still live.

GfIchFfaf q HeactioNaryT
BY his strenuous support OF the
convict lease system IN the past and
his present determined opposition to
the initiative and referendum amend
ment, Gov. Gilchrist is busily digging
his political grave. A man who would
go so far in denying the people of the
state the opportunity to vote on a
question of vital Importance to them
as to institute legal proceedings
against the secretary of state to pre-
vent him from printing the amend
ment on the ballot to be voted on in
the general election, must indeed be
long way behind the times-a reac-
tionary of the reactionaries.-Bart

That was q pretty plain letter from

Gilchrist in his alleged suit to have
the supreme court rule on the legality
of the initiative and referendum meas
ure as a proposed amendment to the
state constitution, wishes to deprive
the people from a chance to vote upon
this measure. Gilchrist has done, has
tried to do, many foolish things while
he has been governor of Florida, ana
all against the interests Of the pep
pie. Trammell will make one Of the
greatest governors Florida has ever
had-DeLand Record.

Trammsll VIII be- Approved.

Attorney General Tramnelf is right
and Gilchrist wrong about the amend
nents. We fear that the governor is
not IN full sympathy with the people.
He may not know. If his mental vision
is obscured because of lack of that
quality of knowledge which enables one
to see wrongs perpetrated against the
people and feel a pity for their misfor-
tunes we should not condemn him.
But such a man is not the one to In
any way represent the people. Re-
quiring twenty per cent of the vote to
put the law in operation II the amend
ments are adopted we fear will nullify
its benefits to the people. But 1t Is a
step in the right direction. Trammeil
IS right in his position and will get
the applause of every lover of liberty
while the governor will lose friends
with all but the interests who wish to
retain methods Of lawmaking that
have enabled them to take from the
people 100000 acres of the richest

Governor Gilchrist has instituted
legal proceedings to test the validity
Of the secretary of state placing the
initiative and referendum amendment
on the ticket. This. in the opinion Of
the Pilot, Is a very proper thing to
do. This paper has urged such action
in view of the questionable legality of
the passage in the senate of the
amendment, as 1t is far better to as
certain whether it was legally passed
before being voted upon by the peo-
pie In fact, any other course is IL
logical and absurd, and would add
materially to the peoples burdens

amendments were adopted. Let's have
