Apalachicola Times:-Brother
A. r. Jordan of the PUNTA GoRDA
HERALD, who, by the way, is state
inspector of foods, in the last is
sue of his excellent newspaper an
swers the critics who have attack
ed him without cause. We con-
f.ss to q partially for the Punta
Gorda man, because we believe
him to be honest and straight-for-
ward, and too big to descend to
petty spite, but at the same time
we would not defend him were he
wrong. We know, however, that
he couldn't be driven INTO doing a
thing that his conscience showed
him was wrong, therefore we are
for Jordan in this thing first, last,
and all the time. Knock 'em, old
man, hip and thigh.

They Took the Risk

This paper emphatically en-.
dorses the following from the
Breeze Of DeFuniak Springs:
\ Every business interest" that
has invested United States dollars
in Mexico, did 20 with the full
knowledge of what conditions
were in that country and there is
no good reason why good Ameri-
can blood should be spilled to pull
their chestnuts out of the fire. So
far as the Mexicans themselves
are concerned, it is their quarrel
and there Is no more reason why
we should interfere than there
would be in France or Germany.
but we millshaye to do it on &C.
count of our position under the
Monroe doctrine on account of the
investments of foreign capital
which was placed under the same
conditions as those Of this country.
1t will be "a rich mans war and q
poor mans fight with a VEN

An Example

Talking about bonding this
state for fifty million dollars. A
gentleman was in this Office this
morning from Sullivan county,
Tennessee. That county bonded
three years ago for three hun
dred thousand dollars to build
hard roads.
"Ihe roads were built" said he,
land they're hard all right, but
F'm coughing up eight dollars and a
quarter every year as my share of
the added tax, and if my property
has increased in value since the
roads were built, | wish somebody
would show me.
"Sure, they are fine thing for
the automobiles, and the compar.
atively few farmers who live adj
]acent to the roads are benefited,
an easier haul to market.
But SO far as the great bulk of the
is concerned, the tax is
burden,off which they would like
to be relieved. Orlando Repor-

I Leesburg Commercial Talk
ing of making Bill Knott governor
is very agreeable to his many
friends in Lake and in the old
State of Sumter. We believe Jor-
dan, of the PUNTA GoRDA HERALD,
is responsible for the latter appli-
cation, and it is one that always
struck our fancy. Jordan at one
time lived in Sumter, and be liked
the county and the people to such
an extent that he decided to make
n State out of it. Since thinking
of it we are reminded that Bill
Knott once lived in Sumter Coun-
ty and the mention of his name as.
governor is SO promising that we
naturally conclude there is some
thing prophetic in the application
evolved from Jordan's brain a
quarter ofa century ago.

Flood at Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, March 31.-Spreading
over a vast expanse of territory in
this city as we'll as an almost equal
amount in the various towns that lie
along the river on the Kentucky
shore. the Ohio which at this point
is within two feet of being as high
as at any previous stage in its his
tory, today continues to rise.
,. Curing the night the central part
the city was thrown into a semi
panic by an explosion that could be
heard for miles. The Union Carbide
company at Pearl and Elm streets,
had been destroyed in an explosion
caused supposedly by the carbide
ceming into contact with so much wa
ter. No one was injured as the
building was not occupied and is
practically isolated.
The river reached the stage Of
G9.3 feet at noon today and contin-
ued to rise at the rate of two-tenth3
of a foot every two hours. 1t is not
believed the stage will go above sew
enty feet and that by tomorrow the
waters will begin to recede.

A Sad Siuht.

A woman, surrounded by several
small children, was the center Of
curious group in the office of the
county attorney this morning. The
woman is the wife of one of the
men convicted of the series OF bur
glaries at Graham last year, and is nn-
der two-years' sentence to the state
penitentiary. The object OF the
wife's visit was to see if she could
not have her husband paroled to her.
She stated that he was the only sup
port of herself and her small child
rem and said further that she did not
see how she was to provide for the
sustenance of herself and babies
while lie was in prison. Her appeal
to the county attorney, in a voice
husky with emotion and broken with
sobs, was pitRful and heartrending,,

In West Viruinia.

Parkersburg, w. Va, March 81
This city today started to recover
from the worst disaster in its history,
due to the ravages of the Ohio river.
The river is falling, but slowly, tie
stage here now being SO feet. The
crest stage, which was reached Sat
urday night, was $40 feet, six feet
higher than the 1884 flood. Parkers-
burg has been cut off from the out
side world by rail since Thursday,
and the first train is not expected
out before tomorrow. 1t will go east.
Four days the city has been without
water supply, street cars, electric
lights, newspaper or mail. There is
but one known casualty thus far, but
it is the general opinion that the
receding waters will disclose the bod
les of people caught in their homes
by the rapidly rising water.
The water will not be clear of the
business district until tomorrow, and
until then it will be impossible to
estimate the local losses, but it is
believed they will run from $50O,OOO
to S75OOOO.
In Parkersburg. Belpre and al

people are homeless.

Another thing. When it comes to
the finer lines of education, no mat
ter in what direction, the foremost

this very good reason the ladies arc
conceded to be far better fitted for

When any really big thing in any
community is in need of boosting or
help, the ladies' are always identified

And We could go on down the lina

reasons, all or any one of whicl
would be ample to substantiate our
contention that the best subscription
list or circulation builders are ladies'.
In fact it has been demonstrated in
countless instances in the past IN
other localities. and this community
is no. exception to the others. Right
here in Ardmore and in the state Of
Oklahoma we have ladies that can

the year, and the campaign should
be an enjoyable one to everyone.

Every lady, married or SINGLE who
