THE SWEETNESS or TIME

We have recently received per-
sonal letter from Mr.. j. Hudson Cur.
ry, a former Ocala boy, who has been
for twelve years in the Philippines.
He is now editing the Free Lance, at
Iloilo, very excellent and influential
newspaper. In this letter he notes
the changes that twelve years have
wrought. He says:
When | left Florida we had two
congressman. We now have four.
Pinellas. Bay, Broward and Osceola
counties have been added. Other
changes have come thick and fast.
Fancy Ion Farris twice speaker of the
Legislature, Emmett Wilson in con-
gress, Nathan Bryan a senator, Park
Trammell governor, Cone, Flournoy,
Royal Dunn, and those chaps | went
to college with, prominent statesmen
and officials. When | read the
accounts of the meetings of the Con-
federate veterans in Ocala | wonder
how long / shall see the names of
Aver, Atkinson, Martin, Long, Lancas-
ter, Jeffords, and, of course. HARRIS,
among those present, and answering
here | pray God it may be for
years. | should like to see the Lloyd
boys, VERNE and Henry Stevens. Luz
Glen Hubbard-all of them. A fellow
gets mighty hungry for sight of
Florida faces when he becomes an ex-
lie over here in the far east, / can
tell you. | see that the Sistrunk boys
are making good, as was to- be ex-
pected. Imagine young Zewadski a
lawyer and married, young Spencer

ture. One at this distance can scarce
ly imagine it. l have run both of

er.

Otis Green, c. L. Bittinger, General
Bullock, Axon Badger, and so many
others who have died since l left.
Guess Mr.. Galloway is married to the
sheriffs office
by the way, why don't you turn
the Banner over to the children and
get an appointment over here? These
commissionerships and heads of de-
partments are wellpaying, pleasant
positions, and the grand change has
not yet taken place. From five to ten
thousand, and extras, coast guard
cutter trips, the hot season spent in
the capital in the mountains, all of
which our officials enjoy. The change
might be pleasant for you for a few
years."

good. Besides editing the Free Lance
he writes magnificent letters which
are syndicated for some of the lead
ing newspapers of the United States.
We hope to be able to print one of
those letters in the near future. 1t
gives brilliant and graphic account
of the last battle with the Moros over

liberated. 1t tells what desperate
fighters the Moros are, how their re-
ligion causes them to spurn death,
but how easily the Americans outwit-
ted and out-generaled them. 1t is a
most interesting and thrilling descrip-
ton.

GOOD FOR THE POSTMASTER
GENERAL

Whether Senator Bryan was right
or not in his technical objections TO
the action of the postmaster
general in his decision TO extend
the benefits OF the parcel post to the
masses of the people, We are supreme
ly glad that General BurIeson was
not thwarted in his efforts.
The Savannah News gives as one
of the reasons for Senator Bryan's at
titude to be that the senator thinks
that the postmaster general has not
sufficiently investigated whether or
not the carrying out of his measure
will occasion another postal deficit.
In reply to which the Tampa Times
thinks that the strong probability is
that the officer at the head Of this
important department has made rath-
er more of a study of its operations
and their cost than has the senator
who can give to such study only a
comparatively small portion of the
time that is necessarily crowded with
other duties.
1t were better. OF course, that it
should not create a deficit, but what
if it does? 1t is one of the few depart
ments of government in which all the
people are directly interested, and is
one of the few that is nearly if not al
ways self-sustaining.
Does not the maintenance Of the
army and the navy bring about de-
ficit? Does not the maintenance of
the agricultural department and the
weather bureau cause a deficit? Does
not the Improvement of our rivers
and harbors cause a deficit? Does not
the maintenance of the federal judi
ciary cause a deficit.
So suppose that our postoffice de-
partment is not seIf-sustaining, why
should its efficiency and usefulness
be curtailed?
We applaud the postmaster.generaf

that Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, Represent

and her friends, and Che, wife of the
president is said to have been shocked

Many Of the homes visited by the
party contained persons who were I'M

It was estimated today that at least

that, on the whole, their surroundings
are most unsatisfactory from sani.
