The Miami Metropolis, in the
course of very temperate and char
liable editorial on the senatorial sit
uation makes the statement by in
ference that all the newspapers op-
posed to Stockton are either bought
by the special interests, or their
editors are foolish. We would hate
to have that estimate of the men,
bers of the profession in which we
are engaged. The majority of the pa
pers of the State favor Fletcher's re-
election, and If any disinterested and
competent Judge will deny that the
papers supporting Fletcher are equal
to those supporting Stockton in
character, or influence or anything
else that constitutes reputable
newspaper, we will quit the game.
The Met, should confine its discus
sions to such momentous matters as
the proper use of the word 'bacca-
laureate" or the abuse of the title
professor.

Two Florida Office holders who are
doing no worrying about their next
term are R. Hudson Burr and New
ton A Bitch, members of the rail
road commission and candidates for
reelection. AS no opposition devel-
oped prior to the last day for candi-
dates to qualify, under the new law
they are declared nominated with
out the necessity even for their
names to go on the ballot to be vot-
ed for in the primary Burr and
Bitch have made good, conscientious
officials, and the fact that no oppo-
sition to them ma,erialized shows
they have been holding down their
jobs in a pretty satisfactory manner

w. P. Walton who came down to
Orlando several months ago to take
charge of the Reporter-Star, could
not resist the call of Old Kaintuck
and has disposed of his interest in
the paper to his brother preparatory
to going back to his native State.
Mr.. Walton was for many years one
of the most prominent figures in
Kentucky journalism, and it is not
unlikely that he misses the associa-
tions and environment amid which
he worked so long and well, though
as editor of the Reporter his
energy and ability showed no dimi-
mutton because of being transplant
ed, and he will be missed by the
press of Florida. E. c. Walton, who
now becomes sole owner, has been
in Florida long enough to be firmly
rooted in our sand, and he will con-
tinue to maintain the assured place
of the Reporter Star as one of the
States best dailies.

Claude L'Engle boastingly pub
fishes in the last issue of Dixie a
copy OF fake telegram he sent that
paper and which it printed in good
faith. On the next page Charley
Jones scores character assassins
who write fake kilograms. The
editors of Dixie ought to get togeth-
er. We rather agree with Editor
Jones that sending fake telegram
to a newspaper to deceive it about
a matter of news is something not
to be particularly proud of. 1t is
not very big business for a congress-
man to be engaged in.

THE LOST DAY

1t was a May-sweet day, all bhte and
gold,
That dimmed to -drenched
tints Of silver gray.
The little winds that walked the
dappled roads
Breathed sweet through blossomed
lilac boughs a-sway;
The frefies starred the open meade
And meath the pin-arched
branches overhead
Our roadway loitered, dim and shad-
ow-cool.
So hard we strove to keep each sun
ny hour,
Each warbler's note, each thicket-
futing thrush,
Inc SuuoSl ilSuL dSdlhoI IAS pOSSh
land hills.
The first dim silence, first gray
evening hush;
BUT even while-with glowing hoof-
beats, stilled,
And laggard reins-we hoped to
hold it fast,
On mist-white feet that skinned the
silvered road
Our day had smiled its greeting
and was past.
Oh, many days have sought the self
same road
Amid the spring, starred dusk, as
even /.
The firefies swing their lanterns on
the swale;
The lilac breezes scent moonlit
sky.
But never, down the summer-show-
cred way,
Amid the pine-dark hill or moon
white plain
It's eyes with gypsy witchery alight-
Shall pass our little, long-lost day
again.

a county will demonstrate faith in
Senator Fletcher by giving him a
handsome majority in the June pri-

exists here, and in most of the i'm

get their votes from is one of the
deep, dark mysteries unsolvable by

The Times of St. Petersburg re-
views the period during which the
commission form of government has
been in force in that city. and de-
clares there is enormous gain, bene-
fit and credit " In Lakeland the
commission form may be said to
have only just now begun to operate,
and it is too early to observe results;
but there is every reason to look for
ward to marked improvement in the
methods and management of the
eity's business. It is a significant
fact that of some three or four hun
dren cities that have adopted the
commission plan, none has aban-
doned it to return to the former
methods.

THE LATEST SPORTING TALK

New York, May 19.-Although
the Giants have not been living up
to expectations since the beginning
Of the season, it is said that Nc
Graw intends to have his men in
good working trip before they start
playing against the western clubs in
the near future. Then will be the
time to compare the Giants and the
Pirates. So far the Giants have been
facing what appears to have been
stronger teams and suffering more
than the Pirates from the handicap
of cold, rainy weather.

The golfing theorist will be inter-
ested in a machine just invented by
DR.. Hele Shaw which registers every
movement of the body during the
stroke. Experimenting with J. Fl.
Taylor, British open champion, Fl.
II. Hilton, amateur champion, and
George Duncan, the results were
rather surprising, for they appear
first to show gradual increase of
pressure, then a sudden unleap of
weight as the whole body comes
down at the moment of impact, and
then a quick fall of weight as the
head of the club is carried through.
The charts of Duncan and Hilton
were almost identical.

EXACT CAUSE OF . s,,nn " |,

Austria had demanded of Servia that the pan-Slavic movement n Bos- ria be suppressed at once and that ;n,modate punishment be meted out 4o tbose involved in the Belgrade plot srainst Archduke Franz Ferdinand, recentlv assissinated at Sarajevo.
 Servia was slow to act and Aus +ria delivered an ultimatum, giving tbe Seryian government until 6 o'clock last Saturday evening in which to re- nlv and accept the terms laid down by Fmneror Franz Joseph's government.
 The gist of the ultimatum was that Sorvia should disclaim all responsibi Itv for the plot; that Servia should promise to do her best to capture and npnish the conspirators and suppress tho nan Slavic activities of her sub iects in Austria.
 Servias reply was unsatisfactory, the Austrian foreign office announc- inc that Servia so hedged its accep- tance of the terms as to nullify effect of the demand,
 Following was the answer made by Seryia. to which the dual monar- chy took exceptions and began pre- parations for war:
 Seryia desires sincere and correct neighborly relations with the dual monarchy.
 "Convinced of the necessity of maintaining such relations, the Ser vian government will readily comply with the demands of Austria Hungary which will serve to suppress all cri- minal acts, manifestations and dis orders in neighboring countries.
 Because the Servian government considers it is thereby. fulfilling the obvious duty of a civilized state the government will in all sincerity do everything possible to prove it's in tense desire for frienlly relations with the dual monarchy"
