There is no accurate data by which
to compile the number Of train move

reached, however, by regarding the
number Of trains arriving and leaving
a certain station. From Providence,

300 trains arrive and leave during "a

New Game Law
Badly Needed.

Florida is the sportman's paradise
There il no doubt about that. This
state has more game and flsn than
my other state in the Union.
This statement is made advisedly.
The fishing and shooting are better
in Florida than any where else. The
state has the largest coast line. Not
only are the fishing interests great
along both gulf and ocean coasts, but
the innumerable fresh water lakes thai
dot the map of the state are fairly
teeming with fish.
So far there has been little dfnauri-
tion of the supply: but time viii tell
and in after years the hunter and the
fisherman will suffer from the prodi-
gaiity of the sportsman of today
The state should conserve its inter-
ests in fish and game. These are
among the greatest assets of Florida
and it is simple and plain matter
of business to protect them.
The other gulf states have better
laws than we have. Even Alabama
and Georgia beat US. The states Of
louisiana, Mississippi and Texas are
far in the lead, although Florida leads
them in the advantages that nature
bestows. Florida has the poorest game
laws in the south. and it should have
the best.
AS matter of fact, many of our
fish and game laws are antiquated and
entirely out of date. The next Iegis-
lature will be busy body. Or at least
it should keep busy. Many important
things viii come before it. Still 1t
should find time to enact some up-to-
date laws regarding the conservation
OF the fish and game of the state.

Prominent Men
Changed Their Names.

1t Is interesting to note how many
prominent men and leaders in politi-
cal affairs have changed their names.
It is well known that President will
son was christened Thomas Wood
row. and that he dropped the first
rame after reaching manhood. Gro
yer Cleveland, another president was
named stephen Grover and like Mr..
Wilson, he discarded the first name.
Still another OF the American presi-
dents had his name changed. General
Grant was named Hiram Ulysses
and on his appointment as a cadet to
West Point, the congressman who
secured the place for him had the
papers made out as Ulysses Simpson
Grant" 1t being a reasonable mistake
on the part OF the congressman as
General Grants mothers maiden name
was Simpson. To have the change
made involved considerable red tape
sno General Grant decided to remain
u. S. Grant.
Whitelaw Reid was chrfstened
Jacob White,aw'' and for fear he
would be dubbed Jake" dropped the
first name. Speaker Clark was named
James Beauchamp Clark and because
another man with the same name used
to get his mail. he renamed himself.
Senator Dick was named Charles WI
liam Frederick but he eliminated the
William Frederick.
1t Is not generally known whether
Senator Ollie James. of Kentucky,
was named collie" by his parents or
whether the name is contraction of
Oliver" To look at the big, bald
headed Kentuczian, stranger would
never guess his name to be collie"
Might as well call him Ruby, Pansy
or Daisy. Anyhow, what's in a name?
There are a great many things the
Florida legislature should do and
there are some things it must do IL
its members expect to be returned.

dred other illegal combinations that
are working in the restraint of trade.
The officials OF this trust no doubt
expected a conviction and were pre-
pared to pay the merely nominal fines
that were formerly assessed in such
cases. But the idea of making guilt
personal Is rather a new one.
This Is the logical sequence OF the
wave of reform that has spread over
the country. The trend of public
opinion is towards better things. This
was shown by the result OF the recent
elections and by a number OF trials
and investigations that have been
held OF late.
