1869. and died of hemorragic fever
Oct. "a, 1913, at Crystal River. He
married Minerva Lyman, Jan. II,

sisters and one brother are left to
mourn his death. Rev. Father Au-
gustine OF St. Leo held services al
the cemetery where a large crowd
was gathered to pay their last re-
spects. The floral gifts of love and
sympathy were numerous. Mr.. Will

his death was very sudden and came
with a great shock to his many

A POEM THAT SHOULD LIVE

5. W. Foss. the Chicago newspa-
per man whose death occurred re- |
Gently, wrote among other things a
poem that should prove a monument ,
not only to the genius but to the
broad humanity of the author. It
was entitled "A Friend to Man."
and it is as follows:
Let me live in my house by the side
of the road
Where the race of men go by
The men who are good and men who
are bad,
AS good and as bad as |;
| would not sit in the scorner's seat |
Nor hurl the cynic's ban;
Let me live in a house by the side OF
the road,
And be a friend to man.
I see from my house by the side of
the road,
By the side of the highway of
life.
The men who press with the ardor
of hope,
The men who are faint with the
strife,
And turn not away from their smiles
or their tears,
Both parts of the Infinite Plan;
Let me live in my house by the side
of the road,
And be a friend to man.
know there are brook-gladdened
meadows ahead
And mountains of wearisome
height,
! That the road passes on through the
long afternoon
And stretches away to the night.
But still | rejoice when the travellers
| rejoice
And weep with the strangers that
Nor live in my house by the side Of
the road.
Like a man who dwells alone.
Let me live in my house by the side
| of the road
| Where the race of men go by;
They are good, they are bad, they
are weak, they are strong,
Wise. foolish-and so am l.;
Then why should | sit in the scorn-
er's seat
Or hurl the cynic's ban?
Let me live in my house by the side
Of the road,
And be friend to man.

rott 10 run through trains from
New York to Havana will ultimate
ly be realized, but had they desired
to avenge themselves upon the po-
litical blatherskites they would have
stopped the greatest railroad con-
struction witnessed in the history OF
the world before it was begun south
of Miami Sun.
With all respects to the esteemed
Sun, it doesn't know what it is talk
ing about. Every paper of any
standing in Florida has praised Mr..
Flagler and Mr. Parrot for the great
work of the East Coast Railway. the
east coast hotels and the Key West
extension. 4 number OF the indie
pendent papers of Florida have crit
icised the East Coast Railway for its
eXorbitant freight rates and its at
tempts to throttle competition in
various ways, among them blocking
the east coast canal, that all the peO-
pie Of the state had to pay for, and
trying to fence the city OF Miami
from its own harbor. Flagler ana
Parrot were good and useful men.
but they we're not demigods, nor is
there any reason why their public
acts should not be criticised the same
as those Of poorer and less infuen-
tial individuals

If Governor Trammell, instead of
writing a long letter to Congressman
Frank Clark in reply to his criticism
of the governors refusal to call an
extra session of the legislature to
propose a japanese exclusion amend
ment to the constitution, had simply
mailed a marked copy of that VEN
cradle instrument to the learned
congressman, it would have been
only a just rebuke to his ignorance
of the fundamental law of his own
State-Bartow Courier-Informant.
Let's not hop on Frank too heavy.
The Star consulted several lawyers.
two of them in the first rank, and
not one of them could say that Mr..
Clark was wrong until he had gone
TO his office and consulted the law.
It's entirely possible that a copy of
the constitution OF Florida was not
any closer to Mr.. Clark than his own
state line when he advised calling
the legislature in special session to
provide for the amendment. At any
rate, he was morally right and made
his request in accord with the wishes
of the people of Florida. Few OF
them want the laps. and We have
no doubt that the great majority.
Governor Trammeu included, are
willing to do anything legal TO head
off an influx of them into the state.

Ia EDE L'ENGLE'S REMEDY
FOR COMPLICATIONS

After telling in his usual able AMI
convincing style o. the faults OF the
cumbersome and complicated gov
eminent machinery. CONGRESSMAN
L'Engle offers the following rene
dies. all Of which look good to the
Star:
First. by specific enactment. in
struct the courts that the constitu-
ton gives them no authority TO vi
tate laws passed by the people
through their legislative bodies by
declaring them unconstitutional, is
suing injunctiOns or reading any
thing into them. This will stop the
courts from holding up legisla ton
even after the legislative body has
finally acted.
Second. reduce the membership of
the House OF Representative to one
half of the present number. and if
L was not just a little bit afraid of
being accused OF OVERRIDING it. I
would say TO one-fourth; take away
from the president the veto power;
abolish all federal courts below the
supreme court; increase the term of
! the House Of Representative to four
i years; decrease those of senator's to
four years. By doing these things we
will make the House Of Representa-
tives deliberative body instead Of
one dominated by committees AM
caucuses. We will do away with the
royal perogatiye Of the veto-this
word, meaning Il forbid has no
place in the government by the peo-
pie. No one man should be able 10
forbid anything. 1t is a survival OF
the time when people were governed
by royal Will instead Of by their own.
There is nothing that the inferior
federal courts can do that the state
courts cannot do. The fear that be-
cause man lives in one state he
cannot ger justice from another has
been exploded and made farcical by
the reduction Of the barriers of dis
lance placed between the people liy-
ing in different parts OF the coun-
try. These barriers were torn down
when the railroad. the telegraph
and the telephone came into general
use. By increasing the term of the
House Of Representative and de-
creasing those Of the senators to four
, years, all branches of the govern
ment may be changed once in four
years. when the people go to the bal
> lot box and find that the govern
ment is not responsive TO their will
