THE GOVERNOR CALLS.

For some time we have been harbor-
ing a suspicion that, taking him COM
ing and going, forward, backward and
otherwise, Lee Cruce is one Of the
best men who ever held the job of gov
ernor of any state. 1t is true that we
have not always agreed with him and
have often felt that he was making an
awful mess of it, but now with his
sentence drawing to q close we feel
like issuing him an expiration pardon
One the whole we are inclined to think
that he has handled the job almost as
well as we could have done it and OF
cne thing we are sure: whatever mis-
takes he may have made were Of the
head and not of the heart.
Ii we had the time and inclination to
philosophize about things as we jour
ney through this busy, bustling world,
we would discover that 1t isn't the
haphazard sort of show that it often
seems to be but on the contrary, the
law of sequence is always doing bust
ness. In other words. our acts and
thoughts follow each other in a kind
OF logical succession. BY the associa
tion of ideas, what we do and say to-
day is linked with our experiences Of
roctardov and Tomorrow aud fon,orrout
will see a continuation of the series
"ad infinitum." Pretty profound and
classy dope don't you think?
But what has all this to do with the
theme which the genial gentleman who
introduced us announced at the begin
ming Of the discourse? 1t is perfectly
natural for you to ask such a question
and we are going to be frank in our
reply When we implant just one bit
of important information in your cram
ium, you will see the point Immediate
iy; in fact, it will be fully as clear to
you as the cause of the great war.
We have alluded to the law of se-
quence in order that you may under.
stand what set us to thinking about
Gov. Cruce and why the spirit moves
us on this beautiful morning to extend
editorial clemency to the chief execu,
tive of our great and more or less glor-
ious state. 1t is all due to new, strik-
ing bit of evidence that has come un-
der our observation, convincing US
more firmly than ever that Lee Cruce
is gentleman and scholar as well as
a man who possesses keen compre-
hension of the fitness of things
To relieve the reader of any further
suspense. we hasten to announce that
the governor called upon us while he
was in Chickasha yesterday OIL
course, the proper thing for us to dc
under the circumstances would be to
swell up because the great captain OF
the ship of state has honored the edi
torial sanctum by his presence. Well,
perhaps we are swelled up, but we are
not going to admit it, because it would
queer this whole story, and besides
that we don't believe Lee ever intend
ed that his visit should have any such
results.

Lest these remarks be taken too SER
iously, we take time to observe that
there are others like Mr. Cruce in this
respect, men who are not spoiled by
political preferment and who remain
"of the people" in spite Of the political
glory they acquire.
We thank the governor for his cour-
teous call because we were glad to see
him and for the additional rea-
son, it gave us flood for thought" at a

That amendment to the State con-
stitution to be voted on next month
which gives the Legislature the right
to fix the salaries of the supreme and
circuit Judges, ought to be adopted.
The Legislature is quite as capable
and trustworthy and as fully repre-
sentative of the people as the con-
vention which framed the present
constitution, and conditions in Flor
ida have so greatly changed since
that constitution was adopted that
lit is simple injustice to the Judges
and the people themselves who want
speed and efficiency in the work or
the courts to hold the judiciary to
the niggardly and inadequate sal
aries fixed when the State was very
thinly settled and the judges had not
nearly so much to do as they have
now. We can safely trust the Legis-
lature to fix the compensation at
just figure and we ought to vote for
the amendment giving it the powe.
to do so.

when your liver is lazy and needs
toning up. Hundreds of people in
this section have discovered that
,Dodson's Liver Tone is thousand
times better and its action is just as
sure and it is always safe.
There are none of the bad after
effects of calomel to Dodson's Liver
Tone and no danger of salvation.
Fer attacks of constipation or bill
iousness one or two tabiespoonfuls Of
this mild, pleasant tasting vegetable
liquid are enough. Lake Pharmacy
gives personal guarantees that every
bottle will do all that is claimed for
it.: Your money back if it fails.
Dodson's Liver Tone costs only so
cents for a large bottle. Remember
the name because there are numbers
of remedies sold in imitation. These
limitations are not guaranteed and
may be very harmful. Go to Lake
Pharmacy and you will surely get
the genuine.

Those kings and kaisers over in

common sense if they would stop

when speaking of the great nations
OF which they are the titular heads.
In this age of the world it impresses
the up-to-date man conscious of the
essential democracy of the human
race and his own individual freedom
that 1t is both a false and ABSURD
misuse of terms for a mere king who
holds his job by the sufferance of a
free people who are the masters of
themselves and their country, to be
talking about the worldwide lands
and peoples over which the British
flag floats as my empire. I" Of course

who makes use of it doesn't fool

he asserts that il is in so man,

sounds rather foolish in this age of

The papers are full of many in
stances illustrating the pathos and
tragedy of war, whose long and pitt
less arm reaches across all the
oceans. Here is one: An intelligent
German came to this country and es-
tablished a factory for the manufac-
ture of dyes, something greatly need
ed and which proved very successful,
Just before the outbreak of the war
he returned to Germany with his
wife and babe for visit to his par
ents. The war came and he was or
dered to join the army, as he had
neglected to take out naturalization
papers here. He went and has not
been heard of since. He may now be
buried with comrades who lie six
deep dead in the trenches before
Liege. His brother in this country
left in charge of the business, is dis
tracted, as he knows nothing about
its technical details. Thus did this
useful German perish in his last
ditch.
