Hillsborough county voted "wet"
in the election there yesterday by a
substantial majority of about 1900,
which was just about what we ex-
pected, although we were too saga
cious prophet to go on record to
that effect in advance OF the event
itself. But the prohibitionists need
not be cast down, for the decisive
victory in the Plant City precinct
which drives the saloons from that
fine little city. fully compensates for
defeat in the rest Of the county. We
congratulate the Plant City Courier
on its brave, persistent fight to
achieve this result. Saloons are, of
course, an evil anywhere, but very
much more of an evil in a small
community like Plant City than in a
cosmopolitan city like Tampa.

A good many uniformed people
associate railroad ownership IN this
country with the big plutocrats who
count their money by tens and hun
dreds of millions, and their attitude
towards the roads is generally de-
termined by their aversion for the
"blOated bondholGers. But as a
matter of fact the ownership of our
railroads is more widely distributed
among people of small or moderate
means than almost any other class
of corporate property. and hostile
legislation against the roads is hurt
ing these people in their little in
vestments-often their only source
OF income-far more than it does the
big rich. Here is paragraph from
well-informed exchange worth
considering:
THE railroads of the United
States are not owned by the Rookie
fellers, the Morgans, the Bakers, TIE
the Schiffs. the Carnegies,
the Goulds, the Speyers, the Wander
bilts, the Hills, the Harrimans.
When the government, the Interstate
Commerce commission, State public
service commissions. State legisla-
lures or the public injure the rail-
'oads they hurt these multimillion-
Tires much less than they hurt hum
lreds of thousands of small invest.

Weather Man Seems to Be Working lt
 off-But Parade Was Held.

The weather man must have been blackballed by some Moose lodge, from the samples he has been turning out for the local carnival. Rain four out of six days is his record so far. At first the big parade was set for last Thursday, then postponed until Tues day of this week. and when 1t poured then the next fair day was selected. Wednesday dawned bright, and before noon the clouds were all dispelled, and arrangements put in motion for the parade. About o'clock the skies clouded over again and the rain came down hard for over an hour. There was 1etup around 3, however, and the committee decided to go ahead with the arrangements.
 Placards were put up in conspicuous places and the telephone was used all the afternoon in the effort to convey the news around, with the result that about 500 were in line at 8.15 whsn the parade started from High street. The line of march was from High do Wn Main to Union, down Unoin to Main. just below Thread Mill square, then over the bridge on Main street to Pleasant, and thence to the grounds.
