Undaunted by Defeat

Palm Beach Post:-There will be a
busy time for the next few weeks
along political lines, for the cam
paign is now on for the United States
,Senatorship. And it is to be hoped
that only dignifed campaign may
be carried on by the newspapers and
by the speakers as well. The time
has passed when a political battle
may be won by statements which do
not stately assertions carrying no
weight-and by epithets which merely
tend to lower the author.
What the people of the great State
of Florida are anxious to determine
is who may best represent the people
in the halls of the Senate, and in
whose hands may be placed the inter-
ests of Florida with the greatest as
surance that those needs and requi-
sites will be carefully guarded. If
the press of the State is to be accept
ed as criterion the answer to these
questions would be given in Stento-
rian tones
John N. C. Stockton!
, For many years the name of Stock
ton has been before the Floridian. He
has never been daunted by defeat
it seemed but to strengthen the pur-
poses he advanced. He has stood
ever for progression. When others
hesitated Stockton went on his way
firmly convinced that to adopt anoth
err course would be fatal to the inter-
ests of the people he would repre-
sent.
1t is to be conceded that the men
who have come forward for the sup
port of the people are men of ability.
No body of voters will have the eff
frontery to advocate the election of
any man lacking in the requisites
which go to make up good official.
But there are various angles through
which to view the abilities of the can
didate. And in the candidacy of Mr..
Stockton there seems to show up so
great quantity Of estimable quail
ties for the position to which he is to
be elected that great following has
been developed.
That John N. c. Stockton is a pro-
greSsive there has been no question.
He stands before the people with an
unsullied eputation-and an ability
that has never been seriously
questioned. He comes before the
people with a mind clear as to what
lgislation is necessary for the pro-
gress of the State and a determine
ton to advance those interests in ev-
cry fair way possible.
And the people are fast being
brought to realizing sense of the
safeness of Stockton for the Senate.

say "You can't do it" and by going
around the corner behold you find
somebody doing it. The man who is
successful is the man who dominates
the situation. Nothing is impossible.
Nothing is beyond the reach of the
individual. We have only to look
about to find proof of this statement.
On every hand it is demonstrated, by
the telephone, the electric light, the
locomotive, the moving picture, the
aeroplane, the linotype, the submarine
boat, by growing hundred bushels
of corn where but twenty grew before
by making the once poisonous tomato
a widely used food, by changing the
sour little crab apple into splendid
greetings, and the bitter little orange
into the delightful fruit of today, by
a thousand great successes scattered
here and there, accomplished by the
men who had the determination to &c
ahead, men who reached out and 'ook
advantage of existing opportunities
men who permitted themselves to ex-
pand.
Man fashions glass into shapes to
enable him to peer into the depths of
the sky and to bring into view things
not visible to the naked eye. He make:
photography reach things not posi-.
Bile in any other way. Man has his lin
itations, he has five miles of air above
him and five miles of water under
him in the sea, in which to work, but
he's doing mighty things in this ter
miles of limit.
Just as it is the function of the
flower to blossom, it is the function
of the individual to expand, to unfold
to grow There is nothing that a
man may no be able to do if he is
willing to sacrafice enough of the tri-
vial and irrelevant things of life tc
accomplish his purpose.
the Germans have a phrase: "Das
beste list gut genug"-the best is
good enough. Florida is gooG
enough.

the writer of Leaves From Life

him and used to poster him first with
the most extravagant love letters and

pared breakfast and an enormous cake

herself dressed most gorgedisly as
bride. But that was the end OF the
persecution. Her friends took her
away. and Mr.. Landseer remained a

Many years ago q maid employed by
Miss Lundberg. famous dancer of the

to take walk. Passing a shabby little
house in the poorest section Of the city
she heard a chiid's voice, which seem
ed to her wonderfully fresh and beauti-
full. and, looking up, she saw n little
girl sitting near the window singing to
a pet kitten. In great excitement she
rushed to her mistress and told her OF
the exquisite voice she had heard.
Miss Lundberg was somewhat skep-
tical but finally went 10 the house and
heard the sweet song. She. too, was

Red as a Cure.

In England says the London Globe,
apothpcaries for many years were firm
believers in the efficacy of the color
red as combatant of disease. Pa
tients, especially those suffering from
rheumatism. were frequently wrapped
in red blankets and dressed in red
clothes. Let your nfghtcap be of
scarlet" recommended Andrew Bor-
den in his discourse on sleep, land
petycote of scarlet also,' while a
physician in the sixteenth century ad-
vised that the face be washed once a
week and then wiped with red cloth.
Upon this latter ttem Of the prescrip-
ton great stress was laid-nO doubt
the color OF the cloth was intended to
act az, an antidote against the chill Of
sneh frequent ahlptmns.

against Mr.. Davis that he was back

he made a faithful representative and

NEED FLORIDA CATTLE.

The inroads of the cotton boil weevil
througout the southeastern States is
causing planters to turn their attsn-
ton to live stock raising There is
no danger of cattle production being
overdone in the South as the North
is so short of cattle that it will take
years to bring supplies back to nor
NAL.
A new profitable field is now open
to the Southern cattle raiserS in pro-
ducing stock cattle on low priced
lands that can be shipped to the Corn
Belt and finished for market on grain.
Last week a Charlton county, Mo,
firm marketed a drove of seventy
heifers at the St. Louis National
Stock Yards, for $43.17 per head.
They purchased these cattle last win
ter at cost of $3.50 per head.
These heifers were Florida raised and
not good in quality yet they gained
flesh in the North at the rate of two
pounds per day and made money for
the men who handled them.
Missouri and Illinois could use 100,
900 Florida, Alabama and Georgia
feeders this spring.-Tampa Tribune.
