Under the caption "Educationa.
Humbugs, the TimesUnion attacks
certain features of the public schoo
system in Florida and says in the
course Of it's article
Gin educational matters, the State
of Florida is either dishonest or
wasteful. If the teachers who get
from $50 to $50 per month are
worth more, it is dishonest not to
pay them more. If they are not
worth more, they are not worth
anything. 1t is folly to waste the
time of children on teacher not
worth more than $50 or $50 per
month.
We doubt this very seriously.
There are innumerable grades of in
telligence in THIS world and the
mental limitations fixed by nature
are there to stay There are thou
sands of children in this State who
will get no further along in cduca-
ton than the three RS ana it would
be an lnGXcusable waste Of public

RUDE Allyn, Of the Sarasota Sun,
attended the recent Gasparilla festi-
yities in Tampa and for the first
time met some of the big men of
Florida. Rube was impressed and
had this to say:
by the way, cannot refrain
from calling attention to the fact
that Florida has for State officers
some OF the largest men physically
OF any State in the Union. Cover
nor Trammel is not only an Adonis
but a Hercules a very large, well
proportoned man. Mr., McRae is
also very large man in fine phys
ical condition, and T. j. Appleyard
the State printer, is also a giant.
These three are a fine exhibit of
what Florida will do in growing fine
men, and every one of them meas
ures up Intellectually in proportion
to his size

A GRATUITOUS ISLANDER

VI f. Hetherington of Lakeland
tries to excuse the registration Of ne
g~.4s III jacksonville. Well, | ain
glad Pck county Democrats are not
like Hetherington Polk county
usually stands for the best there is
in politics Dixie.
There can be neither justification
nor excuse for such a paragraph as
/ the above, for it is utterly without
any foundation in fact or truth. The
only explanation we can charitably
make for such gratuitous and I'M
| qualified SANDER is the chagrin OF
Dixie at the defeat of its effort to
injure the cause OF Senator Fletcher
by associating it with Pleasant Holt
ana his alleged scheme to register
| Jacksonville negroes, and Dixie Is
| knowledge of the tact that the Tele-
gram had been associated with some
of the best papers in Florida in
helping to defeat that effort.
In order to completely expose the
untruth in the paragraph quoted
above we reproduce below an eli-
torial from the Telegram of Feb IS
which stated the attitude of this pa
per on the Holt episode, and in this
editorial, and this alone, Dixie found
the only warrant it had for assert
ing that the editor of the Telegram
was trying to excuse the registra-
tion of negroes in jacksonville
Here is our article
No pareT in the State would
more unqualifiedly denounce any at
tempt to register negroes to vote in
Democratic primaries than the Tele-
gram, but we know the game Of poll
tics too we'll to take snap judgment
where grave charges are made and
we always wait until all the facts
are in before expressing an opinion.
When Dixie charged chat P. A.
Holt of Jacksonville was seeking to
secure the registration of negroes in
that county to vote in the Demo-
cratic primary presumably for the
nomination of Senator Fletcher, we
waited until Mr.. Holt could be
hcarI from, for the story was un
reasonable and We knew that Dixie
was the enemy of Senator Fletcher
ana was doing its best to defeat
him. Mr.. Holt has spoken; we pub
lished his letter recently in the Tele-
gram, and as we suspected from the
first, he has shown himself absolute
ly innocent of any purpose to out
rage deccncy and defeat the candi-
date of his choice by seeking to reg
lister negroes in Jacksonville to vote
as Democrats or to vote at all
Dixie is mighty smart paper and
it knows how to play politics, but
its obvious effort IN this case to hurt
the cause of Senator Fletcher by the
Holt episode will make more votes
for the senator in the end than it

The Tampa Times is disposed to
think lightly of the Mexican soldier
as a fighter, and says:
We whipped the MeXcans back
in the 40's with less than one-fourth
of their own force. The American
soldier of today is as good as he was
then; the Mexican is no better. :
We think the Times is mistaken.
The Mexican soldier of today is a
very much better fighter than he
was in 1876. He was armed in al
most medieval fashion in those days,
was steeped in the ignorance of the
lowest peonage and cared little for
the issue of the conflict. But he has
progressed with the times; is better
armed better informed and better
commanded than in those far away
years and the very experience he
has been having since the Diaz re-
sime las largely taken away the
terrors OF war and the panicky feel
ing of the raw recruit, and he will
give a very much better account of
himself in another war with this
country than he did N the first one.
There is probably no finer body of
fighting men in the world than the
Mexican rurals who kept the peace
in Mexico while Daz was president,
and a Mexican army composed Of all
factions consolidated to oppose
American invaders would be made
up to very considerable extent of
soldiers of the rurales type. The
best material in the world i'll or
ganized, i'll fed, i'll commanded, and
Indifferent to its cause will put up
a poor fight, but there won't be any
Indifference to the cause when the
MeXicans oppose American invasion
