Park Trammell has been governor
of Florida nearly a year, and every
body seems to be satisfied. Judg-
ing by the vote the governor re-
ceived last year, nearly everybody in
Florida was satisfied with him be-
fore he was made governor.-Miami
Herald.
i And that kind of praise after a
year in harness is the "well done.
good and faithful servant which
every right-thinking official strives
for. Governor Trammell has re-
ceived less adverse criticism than
any Of his predecessors during the
same length Of time for many years
past. He has made good as the
chief executive of Florida.

The latest is that Frank L. Mayes

The latest is that Frank L. Mayes
absolutely refuses to be considered
as a candidate for United States
marshal for the Northern district of
Florida. Why he should have been
seriously thought of at all in that
connection has always been a mat
ter of surprise to his friends. Mr..
Mayes has ability and character OF
high order, but as United States
marshal chasing moonshiners and
hauling in other offenders vi ct
arms he would be a peg in the
wrong hole.

Governor Sulzer talks like man
who had a good defense, and maybe
he has. The country had adjudged
him guilty without waiting for the
evidence in the case. We have hopes
Of Sulzer yet and we expect the tes-
timony to make his alleged offense
look many shades lighter. But no
matter how guilty he may be, he is
better than the male prostitute of
Tammany barking at his heels.

The Pensacola News wants Gov
ernor Trammell to follow the ex-
ample Of the governor of Missouri
and issue good roads proclamation
that would bring out 100000 en-
thusiastic citizens with pick and
shovel who would shuck their coats
and construct two hundred miles of
good country roads in one day. Gov
ernor Trammell might try the ex-
pertinent but we doubt if the results
would be encouraging. The physical
conditions in Florida and Missouri
are totally dissimar, and digging
deeper into the philosophy of the
case we could easily find a number
OF reasons that would make it a
work Of supederogation on the part
OF the governor Of Florida to waste
good paper on any such proclama-
ton.

Another prize fighter killed unin-

But when we read of the many hun

and pistol in the United States every
year and try to balance that &C.
count against two prize fighters
killed by accident during the past
year we are forced to believe that

It is painted, even with Jack John

The Hawaiian islands, noted for
their beauty and known as the "Par-

erly named as far as beauty is con-
corned. The scenery is absolutely
unsurpassed and the climate delight
full; the thermometer lowering
around 70 degrees and above the year

species, most of them blooming the
whole year and producing large clus-
ters Of red and yellow sweet scented
flowers, from which many Of the ex-
pensive perfumes are extracted
Fruit trees are also in abundance,
producing some of the most palatabie
fruits in existence. Oranges, lines,
bananas, papaias, cocoanuts, man.

water lemons are to be found grow
ing everywhere. These fruits are
sold very cheap, two dozen bananas
being sold for cents any time.
Now in regard to the people.
Scarcely a nation is left unrepresen.-
ed. The American white people, the
Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, the
Hindu, East Indians, Hawaiians, Ne
groes, the Filipinos, Spaniards and
Koreans make up the variety list. Of
all the nations here, the Japanese
outnumber them all, there being IT,
900 of them on the islands, 10000 C
which are in the city of Honolulu.
The Chinese follow close upon the
Japs, for Honolulu shelters about
1000 of them. The Filipino follows
third in number, the Portuguese
fourth, and so on down the list, with
the American Negro being least in
number At least ten different Ian
guages are spoken in Honolulu The
Japanese and Chinese cling to their
native dress more than any other
nation, especially among the women:
while the men adopt the American

HEALTH HINTS.
By DR.. A. J. Booker.


The Christmas season, with it's
cheer, its spiritual richness, its re-
hinder of the fulfillment of the
prophesy is again come. With all the
spiritual grandeur, the awful solem-
nifty, the promise of peace and good
will, the season has degenerated into
one of carelessness, frivolty and ais
worship.
This period should re one of spirit
ual enjoyment. At no season do the
heavens more beautifully show forth
the handiwork of God" Christmas
should be condition of the mind:
its joy should permanently charac-
terize the soul. What more fitting
season than this to renew our faith
in God, to keep the soul up to the
high tide of good; when does one find
a season more in keeping with the
practical policy of Peace on earth.
good will towards menu If man
have the element of charity, of large
ness, of true worship, he will find no
more suspicious occasion than this
season to flower into forgiveness, into
love. and make more harmonious his
deeds and thoughts with the BIRTH
day of the King. Once in the atti-
,ude, keep the high resolve to let
Christ Mass" be celebrated every
day in the heart, and life will smile:
and friends will come, and all rancor
and bitterness will depart utterly
and we shall be free indeed, because
we will be in harmony and league
with the source of life, which is love
and goodness. All life shall then be
gay and glad, from within-from
within when all JOY and sorrow; all
hope and disappointment; all truth
and distortion; all charity and malice
come.
No man, nor disappointment, nor
evil can make me unhappy, because
my happiness radiates from me, in
stead of being attracted. 1t is the
spirit which came to earth to dwell
among men. It is the spirit of re-
membrane which should make us
happy, not the gift. 1t is the spirit
of friendship, not the form that en-
riches life. Though l speak with
the tongue of men and angels, ano

abide continually in our hearts.
Do not overeat; do not drink any
liquor; it goes without saying; radi-
ate happiness; get the habit.
Let it always be Christmas with
you.
Finally and personally, I wish tc
thank my friends and patrons for the
biggest and most successful year
have ever spent. A sane and merry
Christmas. A happy and big con-
tinual New Year. Joy, health and
prosperity be yours and every ones.
Let US always keep the windows of
our soul open to the east and we shall
