One of the enterprises Of the old
Board of Trade was Offering induce
ments to the Tampa and Jacksonville
Railroad to build to Ocala, from its
present southern terminus, only about
a dozen miles away. The movement
has been allowed TO lapse, although
some good men advanced money to-
ward it's promotion, and to keep the
faith of the city with them, as well as
for the public veal, the new board
should revive the matter. terminus
OF the Tampa and Jacksonville Rail-
road in this city would be a great aG-
vantage, and it would take compare
lively little to secure 1t.

The first time we ever heard of Tom
Watson, he was a rip-roaring populist,
bolter from the democratic party,
and side partner of Gen. James 3.
Weaver and Mary Ellen Lease. That
was in 1892. Since then, he has made
periodic and spasmodic irruptions into
the political arena, but has never car
-rief away any prizes. He abuses the
Catholics for their confessional. which
in the nature of things he can't know
anything about, and abuses the Prot
estants, for their system of foreign
missions, which they can't help know
ing more about than he does. Some
people are useful because they are able
to build up, and some very few are
useful because they can tear down, but
about all the effect that Tom Watson
had had in political. economic and re-
ligious structures has been to smash a
few of the windows. He has made a
good deal of noise and caused some in
convenience to better people than him
self, but we fail to see indications of
any real good work he has performed.

President Taft is not strong man,
but, as is shown by his vetoes, is a
stubborn ore. A weak but stubborn
man in high place cal do more harm
than a really wicked one possessed of
proper gumption. The commerce court,
one of the presidents pets, is an in
cubus-Congress doesn't want it; the
people done want it; nobody wants it
except the president and the few barn
acles that hold its Offices, yet Mr.. Taft
vetoes the appropriation bill, puts the
system of government in disorder and
causes scores of thousands of hard
working and faithful men to be put in
peril of great inconvenience, If not
hardship, in order to maintain the ex-
cresence.

A very Interesting article in the At

A very interesting article in the At
lanta Journal tells of the great corn
crops of Georgia, which have increased
in value to the amount Of 100000 900
in the last five years. Not so long
ago, Georgia imported half or more Of
the corn used by her people from the
West, but now the Empire State of the
South has the great maize grain to
SELL The Journal says the increase is
mostly owing 70 the work of the boys
corn clubs, a movement that started in
1905, and has now covered the state.
Florida is an imitator of Georgia in
this particular, and tho the movement
is comparatively young, it is steadily
growing, and is nowhere stronger than
in Marion county. 1t is to be hoped
that the day is not far off when Flor
ida will grow all her own corn, and to
this end the boys corn clubs, and those
of the men also. should receive strong
support.

Well they may be tired of
Organism but they lack consider

Bryan, Bryan today, is the
strongest man in the democrat
party. He occupies the same
position today in his party that
Teddy Roosevelt does in the re-

as much of a demand among the
rank and file of the democrats
for his nomination, as there is IN
the ranks of the republican party
TOR the nomination of Teddy.
But Bryon does not have quite
as expert press agents in the

Teddy, but his fool friends. J

what he would do and the result.
If Bryan is not the nominee,
he will dictate who the nominee
will be. Buff the democrats do
win there will be no one to blame
for. it but Stubs, LaFollette,
Cummins and their click. They
intend to have their way, or they
will disrupt the republican party
They occupy the same position
today that LeWellen, Leedy &
Co. did in the days of the Demo-
pops.
They are all like a certain in
surgent who said to me the other
day when talking about the re-
cent election. The reason he
gave for the result was in these
words, Martin was too much
stand par for us to swallow, and
as we could not get our man, I'VE
decided that you could not have

of the election was not a demo-
