The shoe drummers, without excep-
stion. say that the south has under
gone a revolution in the wearing of
shoes. and the most expensive shoes
In ali the world are now made for the
southern trade. The old brogan, so
extensively worn by the colored pop
ulation. has entirely disappeared from
the markets, and the negroes now
wear the costliest shoes. This is true
not only of the women, but of the
men. While the white man is con-
tent with three, four and five dollar
shoes many negro men, especially
those working in the phosphate
mines and turpentine camps, wear
seven dollar shoes.
AZ the merchants convention, now
ia session at Atlanta, one of the rep
fesentatives OF the Edwin Clapp Shoe
Company said that his house found
a more ready sale for expensive
shoes in the south than in any other
section of the United States. He
added that the patent leather shoes,
without which no Sunday caller was
complete In the old days, are worn
now only when the dress suit is TAX
en out from the moth balls, and the
family silk hat is withdrawn from its
bedding Of tissue paper.
The same thing also applies to
change In hose. Silk hose are not
only a fad with the women, but with
the men as we'll Plain hose are a
back number and are only worn by
the very destitute.
Southern people white and black,
are taking as much care of their feet
as the Chinese women of quality take
with theirs.

CONGRESSIONAL "PoRK"

If a congressman does not bring
home some pork" in the shape of
appropriations for public buildings,
pensions, rivers and harbors, army
posts, navy yards or some similar
piece of honest graft" he has not
played the game" as it is played in
Washington.
To spend three-quarters of his time
begging favors for constituents was
not what the constitution intended
that a. congressman's duties should
be, yet that is the unhappy lot of
many of them. Their constituents
demand the pork" and an adept beg
gar can get a good deal of money for
his district Much of it is probably
pure waste so far as the government
is concerned. The congressman may
know that it is not a wise expendi-
ture, but he must get what he can or
be left behind in the race.
There is little use in our talk of
economy, retrenchment, efficiency,
and of overhauling the business sys-
TENS of the departments while con-
gress appropriates $52,OOO,OOO for riv-
er and harbor improvements and $22,-
100000 for public buildings by a sys-
tenn in which the political benefit de-
rived from the distribution of this
money has at least as much influence
The remedy for the situation is to
change the rules of the game so that
the more self-respecting members
will not be forced to beg for pork"
to distribute-and so that others will
be prevented from doing so.-Worlds

By the Governor, Attest:

Secretary of State.
WIVES

What the true man wants with a
wife is her companionship, sympathy
and love. The way of life has many
dreary places in it, and man needs a
companion to go with him. A man is
sometimes overtaken by misfortunes !;
he meets with failures and defeats
trials and temptations beset him, and
he needs one to stand by and sympa-
thize. He has some hard battles to
fight with poverty, enemies and with
sin; and he needs a woman that
when he puts his arms around her, he
feels that he has something to fight
for; she will help him to fight; one
that will put her lips to his ear and
whisper words of counsel, and her
hand to his heart, and impart inspira
ton. All through life, through storm
and sunshine, conflict and victory
through adverse and favoring winds
man needs a woman's love. The
heart yearns for it. A sisters or a
mothers love will hardly supply the
need.

ABOUT THE RUZZARD

The Times is in receipt of the fol-
lowing note, taking up the defense
of the buzzard, to which it gives
room, while dissenting from the con-
clusion of The writer:
Gulfport, Fla, Feb. IL, 1912.
To the Editor of the Times:
Please don't encourage the killing
of the buzzards, as suggested by the
| Starke Telegraph. They are natures
house-cleaners. Texas would not be
suffering from plague were it the
| home of the buzzard There is no
sweeter, cleaner place than Florida,
all owing to the refuse being cleaned
| up by the buzZard.
MRS. F. M. WETHERELL.
Our contributor is in accord with
| the prevailing impression of people
generally, but we fear the idea is as
much mistaken as that which protect
ed the fly for many generations. The
| fly has been discovered to- be the
transmitter of more deadly disease
germs than any other agency, or per-
| haps than all other agencies combin-
ed, and the war upon it is as univer-
sal as authority and the spread of in
| telligence can make it. Notwith-
standing it has the protection of law,
the Times inclines to the opinion
that the buzZard should be placed in
the same category as the fly. We de-
stroy the fly by depriving it of the
| filth on which it feeds, and in which
| it propagates. The same policy would
dispense with the employment of the
| foul buzzard as a scavenger, and lit
tie labor with the shovel to bury
things would keep the face of nature
cleaner and more wholesome than the
birds can possibly do. They scatter
carrion and other dangerous filth very
widely, whereas it should be buried
or burned. Cities recognize this fact
and require their inhabitants to de-
stroy all the garbage that would at
tract these alleged scavengers. 1t is
the better policy, and were the buzz
yards eXterminated there would be
no excuse for the negligence which
now fosters them, and there would
be immensely less danger of the dis
semination of such diseases as are or
may be spread by their unwholesome
activity.-Tampa Times

give a poor Ocala girl, and yet we

GOV. HAS NARROW ESCAPE.

Last week while Governor Hawley
was out fishing along the South Forh
of Snake River in company with Geo
E. Hill, Joe Kerr and Jack Rylands
the governor slipped on a rock in the
river and was badly brushed. and
later in the day when they were re-
turning along a dugway with a per-
pendicular bank between them and
the river, the auto skidded and one
corner of it stuck over the bank be-
fore they could stop it. The car
stood on two wheels nicely balanced
above part of the river that appear
ed to be about twenty feet deep.
When the others jumped, Govern
or Hawley was so sure of going into
the river that he was unbuckling
the strap to loosen the top, prepar-
ing a way out of the car when it
should hit the water. Seeing the
car fingered on the brink he climb
ed out carefully, thinking of great
of things one of which was
that he was only worth $4,000 dead,
that being the amount of life insur-
ance he carried.
The first thing they did was to use
all their ropes and chains to secure
the car from going over the bank,
and then went for help to pull it
pack into the road.

TIIDEN BRIDGE

At meeting of about seventy To-
cal men, held last Friday at the
school house at Sterling, it was de-
cided that it would suit their wishes
best to repair the Tilden Bridge and
protect it where it is.
The people at the. meeting were
probably more interested than any
body else in the county, and their
wishes should go far toward decid-
ing it.
This decision will come as a sur
prise to people who have all along re-
garded it as impractical to maintain
a bridge in this location, impractical
for use very much of the year even
IT the bridge were kept intact, and
In view of past experience and ex-
periments there is little on which to
base the hope that things will DO
any better.
The local people have put in their
share of taxes along with the rest,
and tn y have subscribed large sum
themselves, and if they are still in
favor Of pouring money into the pre-
sent location, others will probably
stand by them in it whether it looks
like good judgment or mot.

THE BULL MOOSE PARTY.

The Independent movement start
by Theodore Roosevelt is culminat-
ing in what is known as the Bull
Moose Party. 1t is depending for it's
support upon men who wanted Roo
sevelt for presidential nominee, and
who are unwilling to support Taft
and unwilling to vote for Wilson
Democratic. AS Woodrow Wilson is
sufficiently progressive to combine
the forces of Democracy to a very
great extent, it is plain that Roose-
Welt contemplates the wrecking of
the Republican party if possible. and
Is open to the charge that he is doing
1t out of personal spite. He says he
is working for great principle but
every analysis of the situation furn-
ishes evidence that he is not consis-
tent norsincere. A very large num-
Der Of people who have been great
admirers of Roosevelt, can only ac-
count for his conduct of the present
year on the theory that he is beside
himself with ambition and hungry
or official power.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL

Ed. Holstein returned Wednesday
from a trip to Idaho Falls.
The recent election held in Black
foot has caused considerable excite
ment. Everybody has been talking
politics for the past week, and won
dering who would be the lucky men.
s The Idaho Cafe laid in a large sup
ply of coal this week preparing for
the winter shortage.
The recent rains that we have been
having in this vicinity we're god send
to the dry farmers, as we'll as every
body else, who were all wishing for
rain, and their wishes were granted.
A good thing about the storm was
that it was not local as it extended
for over radius of 100 miles, we are
informed, and probably the southern
and central parts of the state.
The chances are great this year
for record breaking crop, and here's
hoping that it proves such.
