THE LEADER OF HIS RACE

Booker Washington, the eminent
negro leader and educator, made a
tour through parts of this state last
week in the interest of his race and
delivered number of excellent ad-
dresses, to which many white people,
as well as negroes, listened and gave
strong approval. This remarkable
man has fairly won his way to dis
tinction by his clear head on the hard
problem of his race, his even poise
at all times, his blameless personal
character and his constant call to his
people to build up along the lines of
industry and morality and shun the
vices which are the ruin of both
white man and negro. White people
of the best class gave Professor

THE PITY OF 1T ALL

Theodore Roosevelt, twice presi-
dent of the United States, is the pos
SCISSOR this morning of our profound
commiseration. With all his nativs
force he has been unable to master
the boyish impulses that are so mark
ed a feature of his very interesting
character. This is purely matter of
personal psychology. Neither the very
distinctly recorded pledge not again
to be a candidate for and under no
circumstances again to accept nom-
ination for president nor the ordinary
obligations of decent behavior toward
the loyal friend who for some not yet
written reason now incurs his jealous
resentment, has prevailed over the
selfish considerations, the hunger for
the ears and eyes of the multitude,
the invincible ambition to be at the
center of things, the lust for power
and primacy. We give Colonel Roose-
welt credit for semi-unconsciousness
of the despicable nature of his per-
Torrance. He is probably able to
persuade himself for the moment that
he is sacrificing himself rather than
sacrificing another. Such palliatives
of conscience are easily procurable
by a man of his resources. Neverthe-
loss We nitv him sincerely all the
same; pity him on account OF the
place he has deliberately elected to
hold in the pages of history.-New

MILLIONS CYLINDRICAL PROPOSE.
TON

/ Those Everglades lands have moi
yet passed the experimental stage
and yet Candidate Milton thinks that
if the state would work the convicts
upon them and plant sugar cane, that
| its profits would amount to $750,000
per annum.
A statement of that sort would
seem extravagant enough for a real
estate exploiter, accustomed to chas-
ing rainbows and writing with ink
distilled from the ottar of roses for
the purpose of landing suckers, but
the proposition is entirely too Chi
merical, it seems to us, to be serious
ly considered by a candidate running
for mundane office.
Commenting upon the same, the
Tampa Tribune says:
''Mr. Milton is an adept calculator,
and it is very easy to make an allur-
ing proposition out of the array of
figures he marshals for his purpose.
We doubt, however, in the first place,
that the enterprise could be success
fully carried on, and, in the second
place, that anything like the profit
estimated could be earned. AS he
says, the people of the United States
now import half the sugar they use,
but he overlooks the fact that the
democrats are going to put sugar on
the free list, which is not calculated
to reduce this proposition. That the
state of Florida can jump into the
operation of a sugar plantation with
convict labor and reel off a profit of
three-quarters of a million dollars a
year will not strike a reasonable
man as practical proposition. Mr..
Milton may know how to do it, and, if
he is elected governor, will doubtless
try to bring it about; but we are in
clined to the belief that this sugary
business is intended for campaign
purposes only. We are told that the
sweet will attract more flies than the
acid, and the candidate doubtless
hopes to attract many votes by the
tempting spread of his sugar-coated
plank.
eve do not dispute that Mr.. Milton
has given us concrete ISSUE but
the question arises: is it a feasible
proposition?'
