THEN AND NOW

Thirty-two years ago the first mile
of the English channel tunnel was
completed. Travellers saw visions of
soon being able to dodge the rough
sea trip between Dover and Calais
But the invasion DOGGY seized the
military authorities in England; par
lament would not let the construc-
ton proceed. Each successive year
that the project was proposed alar-
mists arose to picture the French
making use of the tunnel to land an
army in England. Parliament regu-
larly refused its approval, notwith-
standing that the promoters devised
schemes whereby the pressing of an
electric button on English soil would
put the tunnel out of commission in
war time.
Today that first mile of tunnel is
all that has been done toward boring
beneath the English channel. But the
project is alive and is coming before
the House of Commons again with
prospects brighter than ever before
France and England are on cordial
terms and the invasion DOGGY is no
longer acute. Engineers say the the
tunneling through the inpervious
chalk of the channel bed could be
easily accomplished by a boring
machine Suilt on the plan of huge
carpenters bit, and the tunnel after
wards lined with steel The route
in about twenty-five miles, which If
completed, would constitute the long
est underwater tunnel in the world
The cost is estimated at about $780,
100000.

CALLS FOR STILL ANOTHER DE
TENSE

A secretary OF state cannot method
ically and continuously neglect the
high duties of his office without day
Of reckoning. and Mr. Bryar's day Of
reckoning is full twentyfour hours
long
With the retirement OF John Bas-
sett Moore from the state department
IL is apparent that public confidence
in the state department has ceased
to exist. Nothing saves the situation
except the general belief that the
president is his own secretary OF
state II is plain that If the country
had to rely upon Mr.. Bryan for the
conduct OF its foreign affairs in this
critical period. there would be
general condition of panic.
Some Of the harsh criticism to
which Mr.. Bryan has been subjected
in the last thirty-six hours is undoubt-
~ undersigned. but the blame rests
with him nevertheless. He has not
taken his great office seriously. He
has not performed the onerous duties
OF secretary Of state. He has been
willing TO let somebody else do the
work while he travelled and lectured.
He has chung to the honors and
emoluments OF office. but he has
shirked its responsibilities until pub
lie confidence in his capacity and
Judgment is dwindling to nothing.
Many great men have been secre-
tary OF state and not a few small
men have been secretary of state; but
no other man. great or small. ever
trihed with the first office in the
cabinet as Mr.. Bryan has tritied with
it.-New ork World.

FRIENDS OF vERGARA REMOVE
BODY FROM MEXICAN SOIL
(By ASSOCIATED Press.l

Laredo, March 9.-The Texas rang
ers did not cross the Mexican border
or participate in any manner in the
removal from Mexican soil yesterday
of the body of Clemente Vergara, &C
cording to an official announcement
today.
Governor Colquitt, at Austin, said in
a statement that the early advices to
this effect were erroneous. He said
that Captain Sanders of the Rangers,
in a telephone report, had declared
that unknown persons had exhumed
the body at Hidalgo, Mexico, and
placed it on the American side of the
Rio Grande. The Ranger captain
then informed the governor that he,
together with American Consul Gar
rett and the deputy sheriff of that
county, had gone there and found it.
The only clue to those who took
the body is the word, "Remem-
brance," on a card tied around a SHOW
ell in the newly opened grave.
1t was said that the party was COM
posed of nine men, including several
friends of the dead ranchman. The
body of Vergara was mutilated by
shots, bruises. and was apparently
partly Moderated.

Bryan that he may as well get from

as sure to come as the sun is to shine.
That paper says that the movement
may be delayed but that it cannot he
defeated. Then it goes on to say:
Senator Bryan's argument that Cali
fornia has no right to say that the ne
gro woman shall vote In Florida, is
the old, old boogy of the negro race.
The senator knows, as every other
man knows, that the negro vote in
the south is no longer a factor. No
where in the south is his vote men
ace to the white man or to national
progress, simply from the fact that
the negro has no vote that can influ-
ence affairs. The negro woman, I'm.
der present conditions. would occupy
exactly the same position as does the
negro man, and no other. The issue
is a false one and has no weight"

U. o. c. MEETING TO BE IN DE
GENDER

The state president of the u. D. c..
has changed the annual convention
from May to December and gives the
following reasons for so doing:
1. The remaining weeks of May
and the first one in June are filled by
school and college commandments,
in which the very large number of
mothers among our members are too
closely interested to allow of their
being absent at the time, also during
these weeks come the regular dates
for the assembling of some church
association, in which many of our
members are interested. Florida
Daughters are eagerly lookig forward
to attendance on the reunion, and GER
tainly all who can attend ought to do
so, yet there are many who cannot be
absent a second week at that season.
2. Between the first of June and
late October seems impossible for
some or all of the following reasons,
viz:The heated weather and probable
rain. even more trying to the hostess
than to the guest; the scattering of
our members for summer vacations,
and the summer adjournment Of many
chapters. In late October comes the
state reunion of Veterans, our own
general convention the second week
in November, and later comes Thanks
giving
Giving all of these points thought
full consideration. your president
reached the decision that the two
practicable dates were the third week
in November and the first week in
December: submitting these to the
hostess president, she selected the
December date as the more conven-
lent, adding: Il think it will really
suit us better than in May"
The hostess chapter at one time
felt that it could not entertain the
convention this year, but later recon

vention in Kissimmee. with Will Bry
an chapter. No. 1902, as hostess on
the first Wednesday in December,

1t is always a responsibility to use

FARMERS IN CONGRESS

| L. s. Light of Marion county win
be a candidate for congress. He is
well informed and Is perfectly hon.
est. We should have more farmers

are the cause of nearly all of our mis-
fortunes. The average lawyer is mar
row in his conception of things. He IS
too much governed by what has been
and not what is. He sees everything
from a lawyers standpoint. He has
been informed so often by laymen
that he is possessed of all the wis
dom, until he believes it. 1t would be
refreshing to see Light in Washing
ton. He would ask the lawyers some
troublesome questions, such as would
cause the people to think.-Fort Lau-

which will be held in our city on

Royal Vizier Fred H. Frahm has is
sued the following edict to the faith
full worshippers of the prophet:
by the fetlock of our camels, by
the stripes of our tigers, by the bis
terings of our hot sands, you are
summoned
by the tomb of Mohammed, by the
beauty of the Khoran, by the spirits
of the desert, you are commanded to
gather up your gourds, your sacks of
provender. well your camels, put on
new sandals, get the kinks out of
your joints, provide plenty of ammu-

Red Hot Caravan!
1.-THE Great ALA has ordered the
procession to assemble in the oasis
of Ocala, plain of Marion and desert
Of Florida, during the Grand Lodge
Convention of the Knights of Pyth-
ias!"
Salaam! Salaam! Salaam! Laugh
and the world laughs with you!
Harken! All we votaries. and all
brave Knights who have the journey
in view: This procession promises
much enjoyment. Each has his part
to perform, and the mixture offends
not the most fastidious tyro, whilst
votaries become hilarious with enter
tainment.
The grand street parade will be fol-
lowed by a ceremonial session, on
which occasion large number of ty-
ros will be led over the burning
sands of Mokanna and his famous
band of Arabs, to the oasis of fair
Khorassan's desert, where they will
moisten their parched lips with Ii
guild fresh from Fem Gems cool and

the yodeling of the Arab band, to Ma

story of his trials and tribulations.

dred spirits in the beautiful dramatic
ceremonies, which are enlivening, en-
pertaining and provocative of amuse-
ment as we'll.
The tyro should ever remember
that the good things of life fairly race
by the one who has trouble in making
up his mind. Kindly advice to tyros:
Wear any kind of clothes-but be
sure and wear a smile. Don't get dis
couraged. Remember you can't keep
a good man down-just think of Jo-
nah!

in; you will receive Arabic welcome!
