DENOTING THE
SECOND DISTRICT

Mr.. Danitte Mays of Monticello,
may enter the congressional race in
the second district. Mr.. Mays has
been prominent in politics for the
last twenty-five years, though he is
but little known over this way. He
is an able man, but he will have to
run faster than he ever did before
to beat Frank Clark-Ocala Star.
Monticello is in Jefferson county
and that county when Mr.. Mays was
in Congress, was in the third con-
gressional district. Our recollection
is uncertain and We ask purely for
Information. Is Jefferson now in
Frank Clark's district, the second?
Lakeland Telegram
According to the lines laid out at
the last session of the legislature,
the second district consists of the
counties of Baker, Hamilton, Suwan-
nee, Bradford, Alachua, Marion,
Levy, Taylor, Madison, Jefferson and,
We believe, Nassau.
The legislature was very good to
Mr.. Clark. 1t Topped off of his dis
trict the counties which gave him
the most trouble in 1912 and left
him take those in which he was
strongest. AS for Marion county, it
was taken away from its friends of
the south and tied to Alachua,. it's
rival, and other counties that have
always been strangers to it in inter-
ests. Marion would much rather
have stayed in the first or gone to
the fourth, and if Mr.. Light had had
a congressional bee in his bonnet at
that time, he would have probably
tried to have kept his county out of
the second.

NEEDED, JUDICIAL SURGERY
WITHOUT THE KNIFE

The Columbia State, a. it seems to
the Star, sums up the case of Judge
Speer correctly when it says:
The course of the proceedings of
the congressional Investigating COM
mittee that is examining into the
charges brought against Judge En-
DRY Speer of Georgia confirms an i'm
preston that all impartial observers
of the course of this cratic official
must have gained of late years.
That is, that the judge in question
has worn himself out in the service,
until, in his age, peevishness has re-
placed brilliancy and within has sue
ceeded initiative.
The truth appears to be, not that
Judge Speer is corrupt, not that he
is unloyal to his trust; not that he is
unworthy as a judge, but that he has
grown old in authority and so has
lost his proper perspective.
One does not have to go TO the
| bench TO find this dictatorial assump-
ton in those who bear not only the
weight of years, but the habit that
years put on them.
! Nothing is at the same time more
| pitiable or sincere than the quick an
| ger OF an old man; the fame of the
| spirit without the capacity of en-
/ forcement.
But when this senile symptom
| happens on the bench, with all the
| authority of position and all the pos
| itiveness of order and decree in
which it can and does find express
sion. the public is too vitality inter
ested to smile and pass on. One may
good-naturedly dodge the quaking
blow OF a feeble cane. 1t is another
matter when the febrile club swings
from the aged hand reinforced by
the leverage of the weight of the
power OF the law OF the land.
The State has no idea that the re

AN IMPORTANT DECISION

Tampa Tribune: A decision of
far-reaching importance in this state
and one which will be hailed with
joy by the saloon element was hand
ed down at Ocala a few days ago BY
Circuit Judge Bullock, who held that
the law passed by the last Legisla-
ture requiring double license when
separate bars are conducted for
white and colored patrons is invalid.
This was the first test case under
the act, which is a part Of the reve-
lector required double license from
saloon-keepers operating bars for
white and colored, and a liquor deal
er OF Ocala took the case into court.
Judge Bullock ordered the prisoner
discharged. owing to the invahdity
OF the law. The exact grounds of
his opinion are not known here, but
Judge Bullock is a very careful and
studious jurist and his decisions are
usually affirmed by the supreme
court.
Since the law went into effect,
many of the negro bars in this coun-
ty have been discontinued, but they
will now doubtless be reopened
Meantime, the case will go to the
higher court.
Tampa Times: The decision of
the judge Of the circuit court of the
fifth judicial circuit against the val
idity of the clause of the law that re-
ses for separate bars, while it gives
much comfort to the saloon keepers
and their friends, cannot be taken
yet while as an established and au-
thoritative precedent. The circuit
court is not a court of last resort,
but in this case is a court of first in
stance. The appellate court, to
which the case recently decided will
most certainly be carried, may, and
very likely will, reverse the judg-
ment OF the circuit court
The judge who rendered the deci-
sion referred to is perhaps as able
a jurist as there is upon the circuit
bench in Florida, and his decisions
are as highly respected as those of
any of his comeers; but the deci-
siOns of all of them are sometimes
reversed, as we believe this. will be.
The line of reasoning followed by
the judge in rendering the decision
noted has not been reported and we
have not seen it; therefore we are
not familiar with the grounds upon
which he based it, or, in fact, what
the decision was.
The requirement of the payment
of separate licenses for the privilege
of conducting two distinct bars is
very plainly and positively worded in
the revenue law adopted by the last
legislature, and seems to be clearly
within the power of the law-making
body. We are at loss to conjecture
the reason assigned for it's invalidty.
The final determination Of the su-
preme court will be awaited with
a great deal of interest.

There are just two kinds Of dairy
men, the successful and the unsuccess'
full, and it is always interesting TO
study the reasons why the one is sue
cessful and why the other Is unsuc'
cessful Usually ii will be found that
the success of the one may be credited
largely to good cows and knowledge
of the business, while the failure OF
the other is due too often to poor
cows and failure to study the bust
ness Given an intelligent, ambitious
man back of the business, good cows
are absolutely essential to financial
success.
Good dairy cows are those which
will use a maximum amount Of feed
and convert it into milk economically.
How are we to tell which are the good
COWS in the herd and which are the
Door ones? Star boarders" are all
too common, and the quicker they are
sent to the butcher, the better it Will
be for all concerned. Too many cows
make milk at loss and help to eat
up the profits made by the profitable
COWS. There are just two ways of de-
tecting these poor COWS. The first is
by the conformation or type OF the
COW, and the second is by keeping rec
ords of the production Of each COW In
the herd.
There is a dairy form in cows which
Is alNSys associated with large milk
and butter production, so that the
dairyman who is a good Judge can dis
cinguish the COW which will produce
800 or $50 pounds OF fat in year
from the one which will produce only
100 or 200 pounds. 1t is very much
more difficult to select the 500 or 900
pound COW out of group of 300 pound
COWS. This method of selection Is the
only one that can be used in most
cases where cows are to be purchased,
because so few men keep records Of
production.
Accurate records of production are
the most satisfactory means of select.
ing the profitable from the unproft-
able COWS in the herd, and there Is no
reason why any man who is in the
dairy business, not for the fun OF 1t,
but for the financial returns, should
not keep accurate production records
If milk is being sold by the measure
or weight regardless Of fat content.
the producer is interested only in the
amount of milk produced, but If butter
or cream is sold, or the milk is sold
Oh a fat basis, the dairyman is inter
ested in the amount of fat which each
COW will produce.
Many dairymen object to keeping
milk records on account of the eX.
pense and trouble involved. All that
is necessary TO keep these records is
good spring balance and milk record
sheet conveniently located where the
milk Is poured over the cooler or
strained into cans. Such a spring
balance, weighing up to 80 pounds and
graduated in pounds and tenths Of a
pound, may be secured for about $3.50
to $500. 1t takes but little time to
weigh the milk from each cow and
record the weight Il a sample is
wanted for testing, the milk must be
mixed and a sample taken.

SOLVING THE FARM LABOR PROBLEM

The problem Of securing help on the
farm is a troublesome one in most
agricultural sections, but it is espe-
cially acute in West Virginia, owing
to the persistent demand for unskilled
labor in the coal mines and oil fields.
On a number of farms visited last
summer it was found that the owners
were renting their lands to tenants,
not because they wished TO quit farm
ing themselves, but because expert
ence had shown them that it was prac-
tically impossible to get the necessary
help at planting and harvesting sea-
sons. Probably the greatest factor in
making it more difficult to secure farm
labor now than formerly is the fact
that the farmer Is less able to supply
continuous work throughout the year.
Not many years ago the farmers al
ways had land to be cleared, timber to
be cut and hauled to the saw mill, ties
to be hewed and fence to be built, thus
employing a hired man" regularly. 1t
Is this feature of regularity which ap-
psals to the average workman. He
