THE REDIsTRIcTING OF
STATE OF FLORIDA
TAMPA Times.


Several days ago there passed the
senate a bill providing for the redis-
tricting of the state. forming four dis
tricts instead of three and doing away
with the plan of having one congress
man large The bill was introduced
by Senator johnson and was passed as
introduced save only that Monroe
county. at the request of her senator,
was taken from the First district
where she had been since the state was
first districted, and placed in the
Fourth, because she didn't want to as
sociate with Tampa any more but
rather desired an alliance with Jack
sonviI1e. and except also that Nassau
where she had been first placed and
attached to the Second. this causing
the last named district to stretch
across the state from ocean to gulf.
The arrangement of the counties
made in the bill eoualizes the popula-
ton of the four districts more nearly
than any other distribution that has
vet been attempted, there being only
about two or three thousand difference
between those further apart. But by
the next federal census We'll guaran-
tee that the discrepancy will be
wider.
The new arrangement separates
Frank Clark and Claude EEngle and
gives each an opportunity to succeed
himself without running against the
other. But there'll be no lack Of can
didates against both Of them when the
hosts are marshaled again.
The new assignment of counties
takes from Frank Clark most of his
old constituents and gives them to
L'Engle and makes the deficiency good
by taking their equivalent from Spark
man.
The third district, that represented
by Wilson, is less changed than any
other of the old districts. All of the
counties retained in it were in it be-
fore and no counties are taken from
any other district to be annexed to it.
Now that the legislature has gotten
its hand in on the matter of reappor-
tionment 1t is hoped that 1t will keep
it up by tackling the much bigger job
of reapportioning the representation in
its own two bodies.

DIR. Cook and
the North Pole.

The Peary Cook controversy owes
the discovery OF the north pole be-
came so bitter and unreasonable that
it is a real relief that It Is no longer
actually engaged in. In his lectures,
DR.. Frederick A. Cook not only proves
to be a most interesting talker about
Arctic voyages, but he makes out a
very strong case for himself. At the
time the controversy was at such a
white heat there was too much hys-
terra for anything to be definitely de-
terrnined.
It is a difficult question for a lay
man to decide whether Peary has
stronger proofs than Cook. Any way
there are thousands of citizens who
believe that Cook reached the apex
of the earth first. Perhaps there may
be those who believe that Peary never
reached the spot at all and still others
who are convinced that neither did.
while both men may have deceived
themselves into believing they did.
1t is unfortunate that neither ex-
plorer had with him as witnesses, men
capable OF having any scientific knowl-
edge on the subject
And besides 1t is also difficult for
layman to understand how science has
been advanced one iota by the alleged
discovery of either the north or the
south ends of the earth.

Friedrnann's Bubble
Goes to Pieces.

DIR. Friedmann's "cure" for tubercu-
losis seems to have gone up into thin
air. Health Officer O'Connell, Of New
York. says that the investigator of the
health department finds the patients
who submitted to the Friedman treat
ment, not only not improving but
retrograding.
This situation has caused the health
officer to ask that the friedman
treatment be prohibited by law until
its merits are established.
There has never been any inten-
ton to deprive friedman OF any Of
his rights, but the sick also have rights
to be guarded and the credulity Of
the afflicted should not be made the
means of exploiting a commercialized
cure"
This doctor may not be a quack
but he has not shown the value of
his "cure.' Until he does the New
York Health department is right on
insisting that its use be prohibited
In the beginning the action of the
doctor was open to criticism and he
was apparently too eager to coin
money out of his alleged discovery

THE FEE SYSTEM AS 1T
Is WORKED IN ESCAMBiA.
West Palm Beach Tropical Sun.


One day last week. two deputies in
Escambia county, arrived in Pensacola
with sixteen negroes whom they had
arrested while gambling in a hut AZ
miles from Pensacola, off in the ex-
IRENE northwestern part of the county.
The Pensaco Journal is not in the
habit of mincing matters; and the
editorial on the incident hits home in
a refreshing fashion. Says The Jour
nal:
groes would have been hauled AZ miles
to Pensacola, saddling the county with
sherif's ONCE had been on a salary
basis instead of a fee tsAsis?
Does anyone imagine that the
deputies would have felt 1t their duty
to drop back later in the night and
raid this petty colored crap or skin
game If there had not been a special
fee in it for them?
"And what is the result The tax
payers are saddled with the expense,
the turpentine man is damaged by the
loss of his help, and the negroes nat
ural proclivity to shoot craps has not
been curbed in the remotest degree.
The time of the sheriff's office ought
to be devoted to serious things instead
of employing deputies to keep watch
of negro paydays and lay awake nights
for the purpose Of raiding petty crap
games.
"It is about time for the legislature
to get out from under control of the
fee officers lobby and do something
to relieve the taxpayers of these bur-
dens which come as a result of the
present fee system"
Think of it. Forty-two miles to
break up a game of crap shooting!
And we have heard of officers living
almost in sight of houses where gam
bling went on for years undisturbed.
But then the players were not ne
groes.

No State System
For Good Roads.

Whether the bin. just defeated in the
legislature, providing for the creation
of a state highway commission, was
wise measure matters little. The thing
of importance and one that all the peo-
pie of the state are interested in. is
that the legislature will adjourn with
out enacting any legislation looking
towards the betterment of the roads
of the state
Advocates of good roads have
worked long and tirelessly for some
kind of beginning towards a state sys-
tenn of highways and no doubt their
disappointment will be keen

Another Blow
to Prize Fighting.

The disgraceful inter-raciaI exhibit
ton at Reno, Nevada. q few years ago
practically put an end to prize fighting
in the United States. Even in bar
bsrous Mexico the sport" is not pop
ular. the Mexicans preferring to fight
bulls and game cocks rather than HUI
man brutes. Now up in Canada, one
pug killed another in the ring. True
a friendly coroner exonerated every
body, but the government of Alberta
has ordered all the participants ar
rested and the end is not yet.
It matters very little whether the
actors in this discreditable bout are
punished or not. but if 1t is instru-
mental in banishing these pugs from
this continent, it is highly important.
Devotes Of clean sport never had any
part in such exhibitions.

May "a, at the Santa Rosa Academy.
This musical was entirely gotten up
by Miss Mildred Williams. There were
about seventy-fve people attended this

joy the music very much. After the
musical the ladies club had prepared
ice cream and cake, which they sold
after the entertainment. The proceeds
was for the benefit of Santa Rosa

Williams for the great success of this
entertainment.

been ascertained that until the plan
was adopted Of making each piece or
road built a part of a system, much
money was needlessly spent.
A road that starts nowhere and ends
nowhere, serves only a part of the pur-
pose it should. There must be sys-
tenn for building roads adopted and 1t
should be state wide. There is no good
reason why this legislature should not
have mastered this problem. Surely
there was sufficient time.
