Negro slavery existed to some ex

became members of the family, eating
at the same table, attending the same

century the scythe. cradle, sickle, hoe,

Stick to the Bows.

While General Baden.Powell was In
America he told Colonel Livingstone,
the president Of the American boy
scouts, of his conference with King
George. Naturally it was desired by
his sovereign that he devote his life to
the army, but when he had returned
from the war, hero of the battlefield
on the African veldt he felt that his
real life must be devoted to the boy
scout movement He so informed the
king, but as loyal subject he bowed
as he said: 81 leave it to you, your
majesty, what shall it be?' The

to abandon the English boys, Who Is
going to take up the task?" The king
reflected a moment and then replied:

In his Tampa speech last week, Soma
tor Bryan in discussing our State pri-
mary law and its defects, said that 1--WE
ought to make it so that each party can
hold its own primary without inter
ference from other parties. This can
be done by requiring of each voter, as
he registers, declaration of the party
TO which he belongs" But that won't
cure the trouble unless he stays putin
his party allegiance, and there can be no
law TO prevent a man from changing
his politics. Lakeland Telegram.
That is true, but-thc man who is
subject to changing political moods
would not, under the system advocated
by Senator Bryan, be allowed TO play
them in the primary. The primary is
moi an election, il is simplya system of
nominating party candidates. When a
man registers for the primary, he would,
under the new plan, be required 10 state
his party preferences. If he declares
himself a republican, or an Independent
or a socialist, he could and would be re-
fused participation in democratic pri-
mary. The books would show that al
the time of registration he was not en-
titled 10 such participation. If honest
he could afford TO wait; if dishonest and
began making rumpuS, the inspectors
could afford to throw him out.

Defeats it's Very Purpose

Lakeland Telegram: II is charged
that the old soldiers of The ST. Cloud
colony voted in the Democratic primary
and have recently organized themselves
into Republican club 10 do what they
can to defeat the Democratic party in
the general election. This being true,
we need seek no further or better reason
for changing our State primary law so
that such travesties on party discipline
and the expression of the party will in
the primaries cannot occur in the future.
The old dead and gone convention
system itself could not be so bad nor so
destructive of the peoples will as this
st. Cloud way which practically admits
the enemy into the Democratic camp
under the guiSe of Democrats to help
select the leaders for whose defeat they
will afterwards combine. Such a pri
mary law is fatally defective and defeats
the very purpose for which il was en-
acted.

Enforce Immature Fruit Law

Pensacola Journal: There are doubt
less some provisions in the act OF the
last legislature, prohibiting the ship,
ment of unSound and unmatured fruit,
that occasionally impose hardship
in some individual and isolated
cases. Yet this law tends towards
raising the standard of Florida pro-
ducts, the reputation of Florida fruits
and vegetables and the prices that
will be paid TO Florida producers.
A man on the east coast last week sui.
fercd the confiscation of car load OF
green grape fruit, the value OF which
may be roughly estimated at 81 600 and
besides this he will have 10 pay the
penalty inflicted on him by the criminal
court for his unlawful action.
Without going into the merits OF this
particular case, of which we know moth.
ing, it may be said that the shipment
from Florida of one car load of green
and immature citrus fruit might bring a
loss TO this state that is almost incalcula-
BILE. Florida is now paying the penalty
for putting green fruit on the market and
The fruits of Florida would today be
bringing a much higher price in the
market, had strict regulation been
made over the shipments in The past.

Poison is Working ia Putnam


Ocala Star: Some of our socialist
friends send us the Appeal 10 Reason,
which we read with great deal of in.
tercst. Ii says many reasonable and
true things, and we do not agree with
the opinion of some that il should be
suppressed. However, we can't help
thinking that if we were shut up on an
island with nothing TO read but the Ap,
peal to Reason, we would come TO be-
lievc that every employer of labor in the
United States was Slavedriver and a
thief, every laboring man was pauper
and every working woman a prostitute.
I We would believe that all the industry
and honor in the United States was con.
fined to the people who call themselves
socialists, and that they we're so unfor
lunalely situated that they could make
no use of those virtues. The matter
that fills the columns of the Appeal to
Reason may indeed appeal TO the rea
son of thoughtful and well informed
men, but ii is poison TO The prejudiced
and weak. minded.
