Reward of $4,000 for
Election Law Violators.

Governor TrammelTs offer of a re-
ward of 800 for evidence to convict
persons guilty of violating the new
primary election law will no doubt
have a saIutary effect all over the
state.
The law was designed to protect the
honest candidate and the honest voter
by preserving the rights of each at the
ballot box, and by making it impos-
sfble for INSCRIPTIONS candidates and
grating precinct workers to legally
influence elections by the use of
money.
The law. If enforced, rings the death
kneIl of the old-time political CRATER,
and Governor Trammelrs reward Of
fer Is intended to stimulate the en-
forcement of the law in each county.
Many thousands of dollars have been
spent in previous elections in Florida.
Some OF the money was honestly
spent. but much of It was devoted
to dishonest purposes. BY the enforce
ment Of the new primary law the
amount which a candidate can hon
estly spend is limited, and the dis
honest use of money by political graft
ers is absolutely prohibited.
Governor Trammen has done good
service in the offer OF this reward.
Let us hope there will be no occasion
for anyone to claim 1t.

Does he not think it outra geous to

Mr.. L. W. Summerlin, a brother of
the dead man, replied as follows:

We favor President Wilson and the

the same sacrifice if called upon. We
think the Wilson policy is absolutely
right.

They made the most of it.
"They couldn't keep us apart" the
girl said.
81 have known you always" said
the man.
Il love you," said the girl.
I've always loved you," said the
man.
And then some one intruded. some
one that could not be escaped.
''I'll meet you under the roses in the
corridor" whispered the man.
Before the guests had all taken
their leave the girl slipped away.
When the man left the chaperon's
room he found the girl waiting -un-
der the roses. He lifted ner into the
taxi and they drove far out into the
country to title inn, where room
always waited for the man.
He named ner the Blush of Dawn
and called himself the Valley Of the
Shadow. He was poet; she was an
ingenue. One night of inspiration was
his. A night that shattered every H.
fusion was hers. Then he told her that
in the Valley of the Shadow men live
alone. He went back to his lair
with one more sensation livening his
sluggish blood. 1t was on such mo-
ments that he lived.
She went into the street, for the
chaperon was a foolish woman; she
closed the door against her. It was
for this that the girl had grown up
over night.
The man boasted of his conquest.
He was a-poet. Some men turned
their backs upon him. Others took up
the scent laid bare. Women read the
poem the girl had inspired, and asked
the poet to dinner. The chaperon
sent him silly note, swearing indy
ing devotion. The girls aunt invited
him to give lectures on Bjornsen and
Ibsen in her home of mornings.
But the girl-ah. the girl-why ask?
