Elections in the
Chinese Republic.

The new sc-ca.led republic ,of China
has been having a presidential cleo
ton. No Information has been given
out in this country about the candi-
dates. but there is no surprise IN the
announcement that the present presi-
dent, Yuan Shi Kai, has been re-
elected. Being in command of all the
military and civil resources of the
country, he no doubt received a good
majority.
The presidential electors in China
are about as convincing as those in
Mexico and should there be no sue
eessful revolution in the meantime. no
doubt the gentleman viii again be re-
elected.
In the main, governments are just
what the Deople make them. ami as
a rule a people usually gets pe-ma-
nently about the kind OF government
it deserves. In time China win have 8
real republican form OF government
but in the orient, especially. the mills

The President-Elect
and the Trusts.

The trusts and their allied financial
interests have reason to foresee what
they may expect. by the seven anti
trust bills that Governor Wilson
caused to be passed in the New Jersey
legislature. Although. Mr.. Wilson said
that in regard to national laws the
trusts might have TO be treated diff
ferently, it is expected that the bills
the Pujo committee is now preparing
win be along the lines laid down by
the New Jersey legislature.
II the trusts and their allies in big
business are wise they will at once
stop their complaint and adjust them
selves TO meet the new situation. The
public intends to curb the trusts and to
exercise some sort OF control over
concentrated wealth. And after all
these proposed measures are not radi-
cal.
If the people do not get the laws
they now ask for. in some way or
other they will enact more drastic
ones. Should these laws prove too
drastic they viii be modified. but the
people are in no mood at present to
be defeated by the trusts.
The more reasonable Of the nun
ayers Of big business admit that the
trusts should be curbed and regulated
and for some time many OF the big
combinations have been shaping their

A COMMISSION"
OF ELEVEN MEN.
Tampa Tribune.


The commission government charter
which is under discussion in Pensa.
cola strikes the Tribune as anything
but a commission charter. 1t provides
for a mayor and two commissioners
from each ward and two commission
ers at large-a total of eleven on the
Commission" This destroys at the
very outset the fundamental idea of
commission government, which is the
reduction of municipal functions TO 8
few officials, the concentration of au-
thority and power in a board of from
three to five men. The plan which
Pensacola proposes does not recognize
this principle in the slightest degree.
The Commission" under that char
ter would be as large as the average
council and we fail to see where it
would offer any improvement over the
present system of municipal govern
ment.
This sort Of charter probably will
be defeated by the voters of Pensacola
that is, if the said voters, desire a
commission form of government. If ii
Is adopted, it will be found no i'm
provement on the old system. Pensa-
cola charter trainers should study
commission government a bit before
they pretend to draw up a commits
sion charter.

San Francisco, Feb. 25.-Although
Chinese burglars may employ peculiar
methods in the pursuit OF their voca-
ton the efficiency Of these artists is
not questioned by DR.. and Mrs. C.. o.
Patten, who have just arrived here
from Hongkong.
During the eighteen months the
San Francisco dentist and his beau
tiful nineteen-year-old wife remained
in the Orient they experienced two
robberies which left them without a
single one of the valuable presents
they received when they were mar
ried here just before sailing for the
Far East.
The wedding of Miss Lottie Porter,
belle of Winnemucca, Nevada, and
daughter of DR.. w. s. Porter, to DIR.
Patten, a graduate of the University
of California, at the st. Francis hotel
in July. 1911, attracted considerable
attention. The young couple received
jewelry and silverware presents valued
at thousands of dollars.
All of these valuables were taken
along when DIR. Pattsn located his
practice at Hongkong. One morning
the Pattens oversight. They awoke
10 find that with the exception of Mrs.
Patterns wedding ring ard engagement
rings and a gold locket she was wear
ing, all of their valuab,es had disap-
peaned.
Strange odored punks stuck about
the floor made it clear that the
Chinese burglar had lulled his victims
into a deep sleep while he worked. 4
few weeks later DR.. Patterns office was
robbed of $500 in gold.
The Pattens then concluded to let
others enjoy the prosperity of the

Like Brer Rabbit, Mr.. Bryan con-
tinues to "lay low" When the inter

wise, but if he owns an information

They say he has been caught in the

Bright Prospects
For Florida.

Never before In the history of this
fair and fertile land, has the attention
of the homeseeker and the investor
been turned towards Florida as at the
present time. People of small and
moderate means. farmers. mechanics
and small tradesmen are daily coming
into all parts Of the state, ara invest
ing in lands and are establishing
homes.
A great deal OF this is due to indi-
vidual effort on the part Of residents
of Florida who are telling their friends
ard acqusintances in other states, the
desirability OF Florida as a place for
a. home and IN which to acquire a
living and competency.
Some of the advertising Florida has
received has been detrimental to the
interests OF the state; much of the eff
forts at advertising have been wasted,
but some intelligent publicity work
has been done that is bearing fruit.
Much more remains to be done.
The whole country is full of people
who would like to better their condi-
ton. They would gladly ike to move
to a more beautiful and equable eli
mate where fertile lands are low in
price and where the country is pro-
crossing instead Of standing still OF
retfegrading. Florida furnishes this
opportunity and as fast as the people
are finding it out, they are embracing
it.
It is the duty of every F7oridian t.
bring these people and these oppor,
tunities together.

SUFFRAGETTEs BEAT THE
WASHINGTON CONTRACTORS

Washington, Feb. 25.-The superior
ity of some women over some men
was demonstrated here today to the
dissatisfaction of the men in the test,
when the managers of the Woman
Suffrage Parade handily out-generaled
the contractors erecting inauguration
stands near the White House, and in
front of the state, war and navy build
ings.
The women managers learned that
the contractors were planning to sell
seats in their stands for the suffrage
pageant on March 3, at ten and fifteen
cents. The women have erected a
stand of their own at the treasury and
felt that the cut in prices would han
dicap them very much.
So after issuing an ultimatuIn to the
contractors without effect, the women
managers promptly changed the route
of their pageant so it will not pass
the contractors stand.

DECLARES NEW works.
TAXI LAW IS VALID

NEW YORK. Aug. 21.-Declaring
that the taxicab ordinance passed last
spring by the Board of Aldermen, and
which was prevented from becoming
effective August by injunetions of
hotels and taxicab companies, had
been drawn after careful considera-
ton, Justice Samuel Seabury, In the
Supreme Court yesterday. handed
down a decision ruling the measure
constitutional and that 1t must be
lived up to.
Justice Seabury's decision means
that every hotel and private taxieab
and carriage stand in the city must
give way to division of its business
to all the taxicabs. whether owned by
the larger companies or by indepen-
dent concerns. It will wipe out ap-
proximately 100000 year in commits
sions, privilege payments and rentals
paid by the taxicab companies for the
favor of catering to customers pro-
vided by the hotels and that the cost
of travel will be lower.
