The TELEGRAM has withheld any
serious criticism of the present Leg
islature, but it warns the members
thereof that if bill abolishing the
convict lease system is not passed the
people are going to be very much dis
satisfied. And it must be bill with
real intent to abolish the system, and
not some half-heartcd measure dc
tated by the interests that profit by
the perpetuation Of this legalized
slavery. The members of the Legis-
lature were nearly all under promise
70 bring about the removal OF this
blot from Florida's fair name; the
governor suggested q measure In line
with the wishes Of the people; II the
matter were put to vote Of the peo-
pie. the proposition to abolish the
system would carry by ten to one
majority. There Is no earthly ex-
cuse for failure on the part OF the
peoples representatives to carry out
the peoples well-known wishes
There is disappointment and strong
disapprobation of the action OF the
Senate in killing the. bill offered by
the governor; and if that body does
rot come clean" by passing another
measure with similar effect, its mem
bers will have some tall explaining
to DO.

NOT SATISFIED.

OF himself Henry M. Flagler said.
81 have always been contented, but
have never been satisfied" 1t is well
to draw a distinction between con-
tentment and satisfaction. Mr.. Flag
Ter said he was contented when he
was getting S. a month "and found.
But he wasn't satisfied If he had
been, the Florida East Coast railroad
might not have been built for many
years to come and the big work Mr.
F!agler did to build up Florida
might, in other hands, have been de-
leyed equally as long. But content
ment may rule in the cottage as well

HUMAN FLIES GLUED FAST.

The man who is in debt is as q
fly stuck fast to sticky fly paper.
The more he struggles the tighter
he sticks. He struggles until his
courage is gone, then he dies, and
yet this is the condition of more than
half the people of the United States
today.
More than half the people are in
debt - that is to say, they are living
beyond their means, or they are
spending every cent.
And the man who is spending every
cent he gets Is actually in debt and
running in debt, for he is running
in debt to his old age, when he won't
be able to make, and won't be able to
spend, and when the spending of to-
day means debt later.
Those that are in debt know what
debt is. There is no need to tell them
about it.
First you owe $50 IL you are lit
tie man, or $4,000 II you are a big
man.
And then you owe $lOO--or $780,
900 if you are big.
For awhile you struggle and plan
You are going to pay it off soon. II
- a good thing to use 20 P NJ" that
is to say, other peoples money in the
effort to get ahead.
You tell yourself that all the biz
men have used their credit AMI Dor
rowed and gone ahead rapidly.
1t sounds very nice and plausible
But remember that you keep get
ting in deeper.
The fly lights on the flypaper, per
haps only one leg at first. He say
this is nothing, and puts down tn,
other legs to push himself of.
And then he is stuck fast

And then he says to himself; :
will fly away from this fypaper." s.
he begins tapping his wings. An,
both of his wings stick to the paper
There he is with his feet stuck al,
his wings stuck and only his hea
free.
That fly feels about as Independent
and hearty as you do if you are il
debt. And he says: II can get Of
o. this paper easily enough when
get ready. III just put my head dow
and push myself off,"
He buzzes for awhile. Then he put
his head down on the fly paper, I
push himself of.
Then he sticks tight; he begins {
choke.
By and BY he rolls over on b
side, he sinks into the sticky surfac
and there is another dead fly.

President Wilson is not q success,
for he has not won the approval Of
Claude L'Engle, who is much dissat-
fed because so many Republicans are
ctill holding office in Florida while
there are SO many more than willin'

endorse the views Of Claudius. Per-
