The State Will Pay the Bill

Such q scramble for Office as has
never taken place in the state of
FLORIDA before will be witnessed
when the first state primary is held
under the provisions of the Bryan
primary law" says the Pensacola
News. "The list of entries is bound
to be large because the Bryan bill
almost puts running for Office on
the free list. Under the old or
der of things the expenses of state
and county Democratic primaries
were paid out of assessments made
against the candidates. Under
the Bryan bill the expense of the
state and county primaries will be
paid by the state and counties,
Just as the expense of the general
elections is paid. As candidates
are nominated under the Bryan
bill in one primary the nomination.
of candidates will not cost the tax
payers of the state as mt ch as the
nominations cost the various cah-
didates under the old two-primary
system.
"Inasmuch as there are various
men IN every county imbued with
the idea that they have all of the
qualifications for holding Office,
and have been curbed in their hot
desire to run under the former sys-
TEN by the incidental expense it
can be safely assumed that these
men will not refrain from becom-
ing candidates when the election
expense is shifted to the taxpayers.
The only expense to candidates
will be the cost of travelling and
advertising. It's against the law
for candidates to spend money for
SO many things that it will almost
be dangerous for a candidate under
the Bryan law to be caught with
money in his possession. A man
- ,o,,t his card in q nawspunar
in every county in the state and
run for state Office under the
Bryan law without other expense,
If he doesn't care to 90 out among
the boys and make stump
speeches.
mo longer can the old cry that
none but rich men run for Office
in Florida be made. The state

With Us---Thank You

Another class of news that we
believe should be left unpublished
is rattlesnake and wild animal
stories. Such stories are usually
much exaggerated; they give the
outsider bad impression. Zorro
Truth.
We are with you on the snake
proposition, brother, but before
endorsing the rest Of it we rise to
ask if you include in the ''wild
animal stoyies" which are usually
much exaggerated the justly eel
ebrated fish stories of Bro. Jordan
of the Punta Gorda Herald.
These stories are q part Of the
classic funeral or piscatorial lore
of the State and are never barred
on grounds of inveracity from
Florida papers. But perhaps fish
are not wild animals, although
whales are so classified, and it must
be admitted that some of Bro.
Jordan's fish stories are whaling
big ones. -LAKELAND TELEGRAM.

Bad Telephone Manners.

In a very interesting article on
Telephone Courtesy in the March
Woman's Home Companion. the au-
thor says in part:
No well-bred man or woman
would drop into mans parlor be-
fore he starts for business in the
morning and engage himself in a
long-winded discussion. Yet | have
known women Interested in charities
or civic movements to call up a busi-
ness man at his home by telephone
during the breakfast hour, and start
the conversation by stating that they
had chosen the hour, knowing that
he would surely be at leisure. They
have ignored the crisrness If not the
bluntness of his replies. and contin-
ued to talk while his breakfast cooled
or his affairs at the office demanded
his presence. And finally they have
wondered why their mission failed,
Would any woman making any
pretense to good breeding enter your
home at dinner time and engage you
in conversation. knowing that your
dinner and family awaited you in the
dining room? Yet how often have
you been greeted at the telephone
with this remark?
oh, were you at dinner? Then
won't keep you minute.
But the minute runs into five or
ten, the talker holding you grimly
to the topic nearest her heart while
your dinner turns cold.
is it any wonder that business
man protect themselves by sending
clerks to answer the telephone? or
that in many households servants ask
who is calling and what is wanted
before summoning members of the
family? How else can one protect
himself from telephone bores and the
abuse of telephone courtesy"
