If Straub, of the St. Petersburg
Times, continues to protest against
the exchange of those delightful lit
tie photographic amenities between
Florida editors who appreciate each
other and which do so much at such
little cost to relieve the monotony
of newspaper toll, we shall reluct-
antly be forced to conclude that he
lacks temperament. And tempera-
ment, dear Straub. is the quality not
to be defined in words, which means
infinitely more than mere energy
and gives us that fine, spontaneous
appreciation of the higher things in
life and people without which the
selfishness of egotism robs MS of a
large part of the grace of goodness
and the joy of living.

A GOVERNOR WHO WORKS
AT HIS TRADE

In the last issue of the Tallahassee
True Democrat we find the follow
ing which will be read with pleas
ure by those people in this State
who want to think that the eX-
ecutive department of the State gov
eminent at Tallahassee is strictly
business institution run on business
lines and where politicians who
gather to gable politics find cold
comfort and a plain hint to take
their gossip elsewhere:
1.-THE present chief executive of
this State is possessed of a charm
ing personality. His handshake
and his smile, to those who did not
know the man, were regarded as his
great political asset faithfully
worked. Those who knew him ap-
preciated them as an index to his
character; the governor just natur-
ally loves his fellow man. But he
by no means permits his heart to get
the better of his judgment. With
the zeal of an ambitious ten -dollar-a
week clerk. he attends to the peo-
pies business. To the establishment
Of the average politician, it can be
truthfully said that there is more
business and less politics about the
executive offices of this State than
there is in the average banking in
stitution. If you don't believe 1t
you start something. However great
they may be, politicians are receiv-
ing cold comfort at the executive Of
fees. Instead of buckling to politi-
clans, the governor is showing the
real 'gubernatorial stuff and re-
lentlessly spanking hypocrisy and
deceit in the civic life Of the
State"

There isn't any doubt about what
the Jacksonville Metropolis is going
to do in view of the early threat
ened invasion of it's afternoon field
by another paper. 1t is going to
fight. To start with, it has changed
it's name and is now the Florida
Metropolis, and it has put a metro
politan style into it's editorial page
that cannot fail to help the paper
in the appreciation of discriminat-
ing readers. The Metropolis has
been very much improved under its
new management and evidently in.
tends to hold the fort against all
corners.

Another thing that must be put
down to the credit of President
Wilson: He is getting more work
out of Congress than any of his
predecessors ever succeeded in doing
and those gentlemen are now earn

to keep the boys at their books.

It is said that President Wilson
has about given up hope of reconcil-
ing the belligerent factions in Mex
leo, and is most disappointed in Car
rama, the rebel leader. Those close
to the president declare that he ex-

Moses of the Mexicans, but he has

UNCLE SAWS NECkTIE.

A man once found himself suddenly
placed at the head of large and we'll
known business, and desiring to dress In
such manner that the patrons of the con
Germ would not be prejudiced against him,
started out to buy a complete outfit of
stylish clothes. Accordingly he purchased
a suit for fifty dollars, hat for five. a
fur-lined overcoat for two hundred, be-
cause it was winter, and pair of shoes
for seven. When at last he had pur-
chased all he intended to buy except a
necktie, he began to think of the expense
and was so impressed with the need OF
economy that he skunk into a second hand
store and bought the cheapest twenty
cent tie on exhibition there. BY this
piece of stlnginess he spoiled the whole
effect and made money he had spent on
overcoat suit, shoes and hat all but a
complete waste.

New York NnD Has 32O-Acre Farm In
MfddIetown Springs Which Is Of
fered for Experimental
Purposes.

mat experiment farms, instead Of more
agricultural colleges, are needed in Yer
mont was the sentiment of about 30 repre-
sentative farmers at tho hearing held IN
the roof garden of the Van Ness House
TUESDAY afternoon before the commits
sion to investigate the educational system
and conditions Of Vermont. OF the com
mission there were present Chairman John
II. Watson James i. Estce. Allison r, Tut

Ing was to hear the sentiment In regard
to the expenditure OF 10000 which was
appropriated by the last Legislature for
the purpose of establishing school OF
agriculture In Addison or Rutland coun-
ties.
All Of those present came from Rutland
county and were in favor Of locating an
experiment farm in that county The
most spirit was shown bv the town OF
Middlctown Springs, which was repre-
scented by seven people. II. G. Copeland
Of New York city has provided
a farm OF 800 acres in that

JERICHO'S CELEBRATION.
Wore About the big Dny Commemorate
ing the 15Oth inniversnry.

one Of the workers for the 10th ami
versary celebration of the town of Jer-
icho sends the Free Press Il more detailed
account of the doings at the Corners last
Thursday. He writes as follows:
Jericho at an early hour that day was
wide-aWake, up and doing. At goo a. IN.
the crowd began to gather at Athletic
field ana lively game of baseball was
played by the Jericho ana Essex Center
teams, the home team being victorious.
Excellent music was furnished for the
entire day by the Westford Cornet band.
At 1890 the children of the town gathered
at sChoolhousc hall and soon about POO of
them We're singing patriotic songs on the
steps of the school building At 100 a.

house to the speakers stand occupied by
the speaker, Judge c. :. Palmer, the

the town.

assisted by an attendant, Mrs. Hopkins.
The history and prophecies given by them
only Pease can do It.
The address of welcome by Judge c. S.
Palmer was made to a crowd of over
$500 people and beneath Il large, old flag
which was made by the women of Ier-
icho during the civil War Judge Palmer
spoke, If possible, with more than his
accustomed eloquence and was frequent
ly interrupted by most hearty applause.
In the afternoon the crowds had been
greatly enlarged and were estimated to
number at least 5000 people. The day was
perfect and many old residents who had
gone cover the hills and far away"
making their homes in other States were
present to enjoy the occasion. SO many

by visitors from the large cities to whom

classed until we take over to ourselves
and charge to our own credit all the work
of diplomacy, including the details neces-

1t is neither necessary nor advisable

| they should be given more to do with 1t
is generally agreed that this result could
be accomplished best by maintaining en-
bassy buildings of our own in foreign
countries with all the accessories OF ser

them. If this wero done poor man APP

RARE IMPEACHMENTS.

he was acquitted The charges made

removed was William w. Holden of
North Carolina, hostile Senate downing
him In 1870 because of his activity in
stamping out the notorious Ku-Nlux
Khan. He was convicted on he charge of
causing unlawful arrests. Governor Powell
Clayton of Arkansas was accused in ISL
of various illegal actions and til" House Of
Repres tatvcs voted to even have him
locked up in the executive chamber; but
he escaped. and g. 'utually the Leyis
lature decided not to try him. The same
year Governor Butler of Nebraska WAS

Louisiana was impeachcd, but his term

given fair treatment. We used to get
around that by remarking on the fact
that there still seemed to be plenty of
men willing to be imposed upon by being
made ambassadors and ministers. That

of us, Because somo men will serve on
insufficient pay, is no proof that the right
