ONLY ONE DISASTER
IN OUR NAVY IN 1911.

Although the navy of the United
States ranks second among the navies
of the world, statistics compiled by
the London Engineer show that its
percentage of accidents in 1911 was
smaller than that of any of the rest.
While other nations have suffered
numerous losses through collisions,
groundings, gun explosions subma-
rine disasters, &C., the only mishap
which mars the record of our navy
was the explosion in the engine room
OF the dreadnought Delaware, by
which ten men were killed and seY~
eral wounded
France, which ranks fourth among
naval powers, leads the melancholy
roll with thed isasters to its battle

THE CONVICT LEASE SYSTEM
SHOULD BE ABOLISHED

If we lived in some counties and
looked at everything from the stand
point of dollars only, we might favor
the continuing of the convict lease
system, but it's hard to see here in
Taylor county where hundreds of con-
ylcts come into competition with free
labor, where money which would be
received by free labor is kept out of
circulation, where the farmers cannot
sell their produce at those places
where convicts are worked, as they
could formerly, where there's always
danger to our women and children
from convicts who chance to escape.
why anybody can favor it's continu-
ance. The people should demand of
their legislative candidates that thew
must stand for the adjustment of
this cruel and immoral system or
stay at home.-Perry Herald.

CONGRATULATES SANE DEMOC
RACY

We do not go through the form Of
congratuIating the Hon. Oscar w. I'm
derwood upon the latest demonstra
ton of the quality of his leadership.
We congratulate, rather, sane
democracy on the possession of such
a leadership at a time which Mr.
Bryan, in his letter to the unspeaka-
bic but not speeches. Henry, correct
ly described as critical
Mr. Bryan made the crisis. Mr..
Underwood resolved it.
The decisive vote in the recent eau
Gus settled the question as between
the responsible leadership of Under
wood and the impudent attempt of
Bryan to impose his extravagant
wishes and disastrous purposes upon
the majority in the house.
The question is settled in a manner
that entities Mr. Underwood to the
gratitude and increased confidence of
the business interests of the coun-
try; meaning not big business, but
business of all dimensions, all the
assorted sizes, dependent for the
of prosperity upon sober
counsels at Washington.-New York

THE PASSING WINTER

The winters passing slowly, and
We shall let it go; it's course has been
unroly, with sleet and ice and snow;
with threats and maulin rawlings );
and we've blown in our savings to
keep the stoves aglow. The hoary old
forester, who does the goosebone act,
predicted no disaster; he made us
think, in fact, the winter would be
mellow the kind to please a fellow,
not wild, insane and yellow; the
prophet should be sacked. The win
ter's slowly going, and we shall let
it pass; the green will soon be show
ing upon the trees and grass; cold
blasts no more will CRATE us, and
spring, to compensate us, will bring
us new potatoes and other garden
sass. The birds will soon be singing
among the whiffletrees, and, after
honey winging, will go the wasps and
bees; and so there is no wailing that
winters strength is failing, that he
has banners trailing, that he is wob-
bly, in the knees.

THE INITIATIVE AND REFEREN-
DUN

Declaring that under the present
representative form of government
the people are just as much their
own masters as they would be under
the initiative and referendum, and de.
nying that in recent speech before
the Ohio Constitutional Convention
he took stand against the latter
form of government, Gov. Judson
Harmon, in an address delivered at
Columbus, Ohio, on the night of Feb
ruary 18th, quoted Thomas Jefferson
as authority for his statements.
Mr.. Harmon stated that he had
been misrepresented as saying that
the people of Ohio were unfit to gov
ern themselves, when he really said
they had successfully governed them
selves for a hundred years.
His signing the measure permitting
the initiative and referendum to be-
come effective in Ohio municipalities
was SSC IOA III d. SF1uSuC0 IAdt A0 10
not an opponent of the initiative and
referendum. That it should be given
a fair trial in these cities and villag-
es before becoming statewide, Mr.
Harmon still maintains.
In evidence of the fact that it
should be proved a success in small
er communities first, the governor
quoted Thomas Jefferson as saying:
Such government is evidently
restrained to a very narrow limit of
space and population. l doubt if it
would be practicable beyond the linn
its of a New England township
Thomas Jefferson was as pure a
statesman and as progressive a dem
ocrat as this country ever produced,
but he was a practical statesman as
we'll, and knew that the initiative
and referendum" could not possibly
work in a government as populous
and complex as ours.
The representative form of govern
ment was advocated by him as be-
ing the nearest approach to pure
republic which is practicable on as
large scale of population as ours.
Here is what John Marshall said
along the same lines:
You cannot exercise the powers of
government personally yourselves.
You must trust to agents. If so, will
you dispute giving them the power of
acting for you, from an existing pos
sibility that they may abuse it? AS
long as it is impossible for you to
transact your business in person, if
you repose no confidence in delegates
because there is a possibility of their
abusing it, you can have no govern
ment; for the power of doing good is
inseparable from that of doing some
evil"
The initiative and referendum"
might work Well for a small munich
pality, say as large as Ocala, or per-
haps as large as Jacksonville, but to
spread it over a nation as large as
ours would be as fruitless as setting
a hen on more eggs than she could
conveniently cover
( We believe that Mr.. Jefferson was
right when he said that it was i'm
practicable beyond New England
township, and a New England town
ship was not as populous then as
now.
Of all plays to the gallery gods"
this paper thinks that the cry of the
initiative and referendum is the
most demagogic it has ever run
across.

On last Saturday at IL a. M, in re-
Spouse to notices in the papers from
Superintendent Brinson and County
Demonstration Agent McCully,
goodly number, representing several
sections of the county, met and per-
fected an organization for the county
of boys corn clubs.
Mr.. Brinson called the meeting TO
order and introduced the special DEM
onstration agent, Mr. Mehork, OF Mis-
sissippi, to the body, and he gave an
instructive talk to the boys particu-
larly and incidentally to all upon the
necessity of thorough and careful
preparation of the ground for success
full corn culture. 1t was the talk or
a practical and successful farmer. He
also outlined methods o securing
prizes for the best results. DR.. Booz-
err and Mr. Chambliss, Marion's IN
terested, interesting and successTul
farmer bankers, were present, and
participated freely in the suggestions
and discussions, and made the asser-
ton that the important thing now
was the organization of the boys corn
clubs, so as to begin to make prep
aration for the work, and the prizes
would be forthcoming.
Mr. McCully, Rev. W. l.. Martin
and Rev. George Turner made appro-
pirate and encouraging suggestions.
Mr.. Crimson proposed to prepare
and send out circular letters to the
teachers of the county, asking them
to lend their assistance in organizing
the boys of the several communities
into corn clubs.
Besides those mentioned among the
grown people were noticed Judge
Warner and his visiting cousin from
Michigan; j. P. Parker, Leroy; J. l..
Beck and C. B. Rawls, Berlin; E.
Clements, Spar; Mrs. A. B. Rou,
Reddick: Judge Lyles, Ocala; Jesse
Bitch, Blitchton; Joe Taylor, Ocaia.
Of the teachers there were present
Miss Amy Boggs, principal of the Fl.
Mccoy school, with six of her boy
and girl pupils Among them was one
boy who was contestant in the corn
contest last year in Indiana, and who
made ninety-six bushels of corn to
the acre. He was introduced to the
audience, and roundly cheered. Other
teachers were Mr.. G. C. Flanders of
Martel and Mr. G. Fred Turner OF
Marshville.
The following boys signed the roll
as members of the county club, and
pledged themselves to work for the
organization of local clubs in their
communities: Kylan McQuaig, Roy
Prehn, Noel Scarborough, Ebert e.
Grande, Fort Mccoy; Willie and Hen
ry Parker, Leroy; Paul Rawls, Newell
Price, Harry McCully, Claude McCul-
ly, Beecher Beck, William Hood, Ber-
lin; Arthur Rou, Fairfield; C. Grady
Martin, Spar; Claude Rou; Fair
field; julius Clements, Emmett Ste-
phens, Spar.
The boys, in company with Super
intendent Brinson, withdrew to them
selves and effected an organization
by electing Grady Martin of Spar as
president, and Arthur Rou of Fair
field as secretary. They agreed to
meet in Ocala on Saturday, Marrh 2,
at IL o'clock in county convention,
and ask as many as would be inter-
ested to meet with them
During the session DIR. Boozer an.
nounced thaahe had limited amount
of corn seed of very prolific variety
that he would donate to the boys for
planting purposes.
