There is a growing sentiment which
is almost reaching the stage of an
insistent demand to have Judge w. S.
Bullock enter the race for congress
from this district. Any number seem
to think that he could win easily.
There is no questioning the fact that
he is very popular in the district and
the way in which his father is held
in grateful memory would add to his
strength. There is a feeling deep down
in the hearts of those who know him
that if he were in congress that he
would be faithful to every trust. That
having the equipment in industry and
brain force that he would fully
measure up to the responsibilities of
the office. The people would feel
and would have the right to feel that
in the person of Judge Bullock that
they would have in congress a good,
able and honest man in whom there
would be no shadow of turning from
the path of right.

One of our valued subscribers has
sent US copy of the Wewanee QH)
Star-Courier, containing an account of
a lecture from a gentleman recently
returned from Florida. This gentle
man says that we have to use one
hundred dollars worth of fertilizer on
each acre of land we plant If this
statement were true about half of our
population would be engaged in the
fertilizer business. OF course it is an
exaggerated statement, but suppose
it were true and we reaped a profit
over and above the fertilizer bill and
other bills, to the amount that our
truckers, orange growers and stock
growers very frequently realize, these
Florida acres would still be a prepos-
sessing proposition, would they not?
The fellows engaged in farming,
trucking, fruit growing and stock
growing are well satisfied and are reg
istering no kicks. 1t is a certain class
of visitors alone that seem to be the
knockers.

Mr.. S. H. Gaitskill of Mcintosh,

appearance of prosperity when so
many of our truckers, orange and

we are glad to see it. We wish it
were possible for every family in the
county to do the same thing.

We are told by the Tampa Times
that President Wilson says that ex-
empting coastwise vessels passing
through the Panama canal is rot a
democratic measure. The bare, naked
fact is that it forms one of the planks
of the democratic platform adopted at
mously. That it seems to us makes it
a democratic measure. That is the
way we made the tariff a democratic
measure. That is the way we made
the currency a democratic measure.
That is the way the antitrust became
democratic measure. That is the
way the income tax became demo
cratic measure. That is the way the
elections of United States senators by
a direct vote of the people became a
democratic measure. That is the way
that exempting ships engaged in
coastwise trade passing through the
Panama canal from paying tolls be-
came a democratic measure. What
reason is given in the democratic ma
tional platform for doing so? 1t is the
following: eve believe in fostering,
by constitutional regulation of COM
merce, the growth of a merchant ma
rine, which shall develop and
strengthen the commercial ties which
bind us to our sister republic of the
SOUTH ETC., and to that end the plat
form goes on to say: I'VE favor the
exemption from tolls of american
ships engaged in coastwise trade pas
sing through the Panama canal"
