Billy Russell of the Palatka News
would make an ideal U. S. Senator
in case there is one appointed for
the interim of two months. We do
not know whether he wishes the po-
sition or not but he would hold it
with honor and glory to himself
and his state.-Sanford Herald.
Thanks, thanks my worthy friend.
You are right, the editor of The
News possesses two prime requisites
for the position of U. S. Senator. He
is an expert at signing pay rolls.
though some years out of practice,
and he knows how to support a dem
ocratic administration. AS to want
ing it. Holy Moses! Of course ne
wants it. No, that isn't the way a
senator should talk. 1t
isn't sufficiently dignified. To use the
language of the Hon. Henry V, as re-
ported by his friend, VIM. Shakes
, care, we should say: "lf it is a sin
to covet honor, then l am the most
soul alive"

How to Handle the Cotton Crop

Pensacola Journal: Hon. w. H.
Milton, banker, cotton man, and for
mer United States Senator, has writ
ten Secretary McAdoo a letter in
which he suggests a plan for govern
ment aid to the cotton interests OF
the South that is worth more than
casual consideration. Senator Mil
toms letter is published elsewhere in
the Journal today.
The senator's idea that the govern
vent could very well advance money
on cotton, or even buy up a supply
of it, should not be cast aside be
cause it may possess an element Of
what some people are pleased to call
"paternalism." In republic there
is no such thing as paternalism. The
government is the people, and the
reonle, acting collectively is the form
OF the government, can always do
whatever is necessary to be done %
n"otect their own interests or relieve
+hoir own distress.
Senator Millions letter is one which
deserves the careful consideration If
the treasury department and of the
neonle whose interests are now at
stake.

Comments Of State Press,
Don't Pave with Injustice

Ocala Star: In consequence of
shutting down phosphate mines and
turpentine farms, there are more idle
negroes in the country than usual.
Some of these are tough characters,
but the great majority are honest men
and willing to work. On account of
the bad behavior of some negroes,
Florida officers are inclined to be sus-
nicious of any of the race they see
loafing. They should take the cir
cumstances into consideration and
try not to do any injustice to men who
are not only out of work but may be
hungry. We heard man say, the
other day, that now is a good time TO
put big road gang to work, but we
don't think any decent citizen would
want to ride over road that was
paved with injustice.

Congress will probably immediate.
" pass at the request of the presi-
dent an additional revenue act to sup
ply the curtailment in the govern
ment's revenue occasioned by the war
in Europe. An ordinary business
man, when his business is depressed
and his income lessened, usually cuts
his expense account. But it is differ
ent with the government-it increas-
es taxes. However, as this increased
tax will likely be placed on liquors
and tobacco and certain Injuries, it
will not be noticed. And neither will
it curtail their consumption.

Secretary Moses Folsom of the Pa
latka board of trade is authority for
the statement that "the cylinder of
enc of the presses on which Beecher's
Life of Christ was printed is now
used as a road roller at St. Cloud,
Fla" 1t seems that when the pa
per was started at st. Cloud a sec
ond-hand outfit was purchased in
New York city. When it arrived in
st. Cloud it was found that the OLD
press was useless and it had to be
abandoned. A livery man in the town
bought the big cylinder for a nominal
sum, filled it with brick and uses it
as a road roller.

Hon. John P. Wall, of Putnam
.Igal. has made good suggestion, at
least one worthy Of investigation. Mr..
Wall believes PaIatka capitalists
should establish a packing house IN
his city to take care of the citrus
fruit grown in West Putnam. lii
these DAYS of white fly and other CT
trus diseases and pests, the small
grower is not in position to put up
his fruit in the style demanded by the
trade. To fit out packing house
with washing and drying machinery,
etc, would cost several thousand dol
lars. This no small grower could
think of. 1t would be comparative
Nv simple to ascertain the profitable
ness OF such a venture as Mr.. Wall
suggests for Palatka. Find out the
probable yield Of fruit in the terri
tory and then find out if the growers
would patronize the packing concern.
Certainly did these growers know
that there was possibility Of getting
heir fruit put up in good shape, it

Orlando Reporters Star: The Oca-
Ia Star copies from the Reporter Star
the letter published in this paper from
Edwin Spencer, Jr., in which that gen
tIeman said the only hope for relief
nom excessive freight rates in
Iorlda lay in the election of new rail
road commissioners. The Star ap-
ends this comment:
The foregoing is another proof
tnat the people of Florida were a
ne bunch of asses to allow two of
the present commissioners to be re-
nominated"
Railroad commissioners are elected
Tor four year terms, and the people
light as well make the best of it.
The way to do this is to insist that
action be had on the various matters
that are brought before the COM
missioners. They are not altogether
to blame for the failure to correct
rate abuses. They are not all-wise
nor can they be omni-present, but
they should give prompt action when
are brought to their at
tention. Again we refer to the
rate on paving brick. There Is
no chance Tor the commissioners not |
to be aware of this gigantic outrage
in the form of an excessive rate ex-
acted for transporting this commodi-
ty. Yet nothing is done, and FlorI-
da will within a few years turn mil
lions of dollars into the railroad cof-
fers for this item alone. If the rail
road commission did nothing else but |
secure an adjudication of this rate it
would be worth the money which the
tax payers give up for a four year
term Of the full commission and its
retinue of engineer, attorney, secre-
.ary and stenographers. If it did
nothing but put the Long and Short
Haul Act into effect it would earn its
pay, but it seems to have taken its
seat on the stool of Do Nothing, which
s mighty pleasing to the railroads.

It was a busy day in Fulton street.
Lines of trucks we're bucking each 9TH
er east and west, when out from a
produce store came a cat, and dang
ling from her mouth was a kitten,
with which she essayed to cross the
street. Each time she started she had
to turn back because of a truck, and
her efforts soon attracted a crowd OF
idlers.
Down from the corner came a po-
liceman. He soon saw what was the
matter, and while there was nothing
in the traffic regulations to cover
point, it took the bluecoat only mo
ment to decide what to do.
Going into the street he raised his
hands in the way that truckmen have
learned means stop" They stopped.
The cat. seeing her opportunity, took
