Rat Killing Should
Not Be a Joke.

The local campaign against rats ap-
pears to have degenerated into the
joke stage It's all right to joke about
him if you also STAY him. It may with
perfect truthfulness be said that there
is little danger Of the bubonic plague
entering this city, but the rat is an
undesirable citizen. whose absence is
much more valuable than his presence.

city it will come by way of the rat
The bubonic plague Is primarily dis
ease of the rodent, and not of the hu-
man. With careful quarantine there
is little danger of its being transmit

not read the quarantine regulations.
and the only thing that Will prevent
them from being where they are not
wanted is rough on rats or some
equally potent persuader.
It is quite immaterial what method
of extinction is used. The Mobile
health officer has given a suggestion
by which the local Pied Pipers, in
their efforts to entice the willy rodent
may profit. He says to bait the trap
with the strongest cheese 1t is possible
to find, and then sprinkle a little
cologne on the trap-like putting sugar
and vinegar on lettuce.
In the use Of cheese we would sug-
gest the wisdom Of carefully claiming

Among the clippings published
without comment in yesterdays
Times Union was the following from
the Milton Gazette.
I'VE will not express our thoughts
about the members of the Florida del
egation who bolted their instructions

them to the tender mercies of their

We may have published similar ex-
pressions at other times. but we take
this occasion to say that what we
publish without comment is almost as
often without approval as with it.
In our clippings we try to reflect the
sentiment Of Others-not to express
our own.
While F1orida-s delegation was in
snstructed for Underwood two of the
delegates elected to the convention
were avowed Wilson men. They were
bound by their instructions to vote
for Underwood as long as they
thought he had a chance of nominal
ton and We believe they did it faith
fully. There was nothing in their in
struction to prevent them from chang
ing earlier. If they had changed by
the tenth of twelfth ballot no one
could have said with certainty that
they did not stick to Underwood I'M
til they thought there was no hope of
his nomination. AS we remember
they stood by their instructions be-
yond the fortieth ballot and as far as
we can Judge from a distance of 800
miles Mayes and Griggs did their full
duty by the candidate for whom they
were instructed and by the people of
Florida.

Things That Can
Never Happen Again.

Under the head TT Can Never Hap
pen Again." Golfers Weekly of Au-
gust 3 editoria1izes as follows:
Six years ago it was possible to
take some glucose, add sugar, coloring
matter, and other adulterants, and sell
it as pure Vermont maple sugar.
In 1902 more than one-half the
members Of congress. more than one
half the senators of the United States,
more than half of the governors Of the
various states, more than two-thirds
of the members of the various state
legislatures, and public men of high
and low degree all carried passes on
the railroads and assented to the i'm
piled obligation thereby assumed.
On January 4, 1903, fifty members of
congress recommended Peruna, each
with a signed testimonial, all grouped
in a full-page advertisement in the
large newspapers of the country.
Six years ago. when a president of
the United States tried to make a
combination of Republicans and Dem
ocrats to pass a railroad rate bill, he
considered it necessary to work in
secret, and when the arrangement was
discovered everybody involved acted
like persons caught in. a scandal. To-
day no stigma attaches to a man who
votes outside his party on question
of principle.
Ten years ago the president of a
great life insurance company, ambi
tious to be ambassador to France,
gave lavish public dinner to French
actress and paid for 1t with the policy
holders money.
Twenty years ago large portion of
the (party politics of the Republicans
in congress consisted Of waving the
bloody shirt, of supporting force bills,
and in general acting toward the
South with that same vindictive hate
which made the reconstruction period
the most detestable episode in Amer
lean history. Today there remains but
one United States senator who acts
toward the South other than with re-
spect and consideration.
And yet when the things alluded to
in the foregoing were pointed out and
condemned, the Reactionary press and
the Tory members of congress all
howled about the assault on vested
interests, the right of a railroad cor
poration to do what it pleased with its
own property, the sacredness Of con-
gress and the courts and the ruination
which the muck ra,ker' was bringing
upon the country.
These things can never happen
again. and 1t is we'll. But there are
others of similar Importance and equal
portent that are happening now, and
the same Reactionary influences are
engaged in maintaining their existence.

That SiekIY Rat.

Press dispatches tell of a Pensa-
cola rat which, upon investigation, was
found to be affected by at least four
deadly diseases. The diseases with
which the rat was afflicted were: Tu-
berculosis, mango. tapeworm and rat
trypanosomes. The dispatches fail to
state, but we infer that after this in
teresting discovery was made regard
ing the rodents state of health, that it
was ordered killed, if indeed rat that
had survived all those diseases men
toned could really be killed by the
arts Of mere man.--Plant City Courier.
