that the larger part of my property
is not only nonproductive, but is a
charge upon my income. In fact the
income which l receive from that
part which produces is not sufficient
to cover taxes, insurance and care
for that part which is non-produc-
tive. My outside income, therefore,
is q minus quantity.
my income for nearly twenty
years has been derived almost who'll
ly from lectures and writing-the
largest part from lectures. and since
both writing and lecturing are hon.
orable professions, there is no more
reason why should not augment my
income from them, than that other
officials should refrain from adding
to their official incomes the returns
from business in investment.

MORE NOISE THAN FROGS

Most people in Florida who know
him and his career concede that
John Stockton is a good man, an
able man and a deserving man, but
in his political ambitions a hoodoo
not to be exercised seems to have
pursued him relentlessly and pied
all his plans. And in his open let
ter this time to the people Of the
State announcing his candidacy for
the Senate to succeed Senator
Fletcher, we fear that he uncon-
sciously invokes the same pestiferous
hoodoo by making an appeal which
looks like the old familiar reading
with which he prefaced his previous
candidates.:
"A very strong sentiment has de-
veloped throughout the State In fav-
or of my making the race. I have
had warm letters of encouragement
and unsolicited promises of support
from every section of Florida. l
feel that this Is the opportune time
for me to enter and such has been
tue expression of all my friends. l

cess. because Of the principles with
which l have been associated all my
life."
''Warm letters Of encouragement
and unsolicited promises Of support
from all over the State" have lured
candidates withou: number to de-
feat, and when the votes were count
ed it was case much like that of

able frogs in a nearby pond. UNDER

MR.. BRYAN'S DEFENSE

Secretary Of State Bryan has made
through his paper, the Commoner,
reply to his critics and defense Of biz
action in taking to the Chautauqua
circuit to increase the salary Of $12,-
900 per year paid him by the gov
eminent. Mr.. Bryan Is such
clean, highminded man and has been
such a large factor in the moral up
lift of this country that we have
taken no pleasure in criticizing what
seemed to us his one lapse from his
own high standard of duty in leav-
ing his official post to 60 out after
private gain. It Is fair to present
his side Of the case so far as we have
room. He makes strong point for
himself in his statement that the
larger part of his property is not
only unproductive, but charge
upon his income. From his state
ment in the Commoner we take the
following:
EVERY man who has reached a
position where he is likely to be ap-
pointed to a high Office, has assumed
obligations which cannot be suspend
Cd when he enters office. My obli-
cations to church, charity, education
and for my insurance cannot be dis
continued. They amount to more
than $500 per year, and these
though the largest, are by no means
all. will absorb more than half the
salary which I receive.
"A great many public officials, es-
pecially those holding the higher Of
fees, have incomes aside from their
salaries sufficient to meet the out.

that I have not, bnt 1t so happens

The break In New Haven during the last
hour was the only active feature of the
market yesterday. Its slump OF three
points was on scattered selling on no
action being taken at the directors meet
ing in Boston yesterday.
The rest of the market fiuctuated in an
aimless sort OF a way throughout the day
on very light trading, owing to the con-
tinued uncertainty Of the Mexican situa-
