When Populism was rampant in
this country, one of it's chief planks
was that the government should is
sue money on farm products as Sc
curity, and that kind of financial
theorizing was one of the moving
causes for the death of the Populist
party. The present effort to have
the government take cotton as Sc
curity for loan to the farmers
looks very much like a revival of
the discredited Populist doctrine
and it is quite likely to fail. The
various States could with entire
propriety do something of that
kind. but the United States govern
ment is very different proposition
and will hardly go into the business
OF lending money to individuals on
personal security.

Today is Natal Grass Day in South
Florida when many up-to-date
farmers who realize that experiment
is the mother of success, intend to
plant from one to FIVE acres each in
this famous forage growth whose
rare qualities are just now coming
into recognition. The Telegram
has printed some lengthy articles
about this grass, showing how well
adapted it is to our soil and climate
and how superior 1t is to other
kinds Of hay grown here, and if the
things said of it are true, natal
grass will prove a great blessing to
this section and solve the big prob
lem of cheap feed for stock at all
seasons of the year. 1t is said that
Florida pays out more money to
other States for hay thar she gets
for her citrus fruit crops. If this is
true, it is high time that we ceased
from such economic stupidity and
learned how to raise our own hay,
Natal grass seems to point the way.

We have much enjoyed the exhil-
arating tonic effect of the Greek
page of the Tarpon Springs Progress
sive which we have eagerly turned
to every week as a classic recrea-
ton, bath in a sparkling Pierian
spring, an association by proxy, so
to speak, with Demothenes, Themis-
tocles, Socrates, Aristotle and the
rest CT that bunch in dear old Ath-
ems. But, alas! the Greek page is
no more, and we will feed never
again, perhaps, on the sweets of it's
Chassis lore. Those last four lines
can be turned into superior ar
ticle of mortuary poetry with lit
tie pruning here and there.

Congressman Frank Clark proper
ly skinned Congressman Frear, of
Wisconsin, the other day, after the
latter had viciously denounced Con-
gresham Sparkman because he
sought to get an appropriation for
the Kissimmee and Oklawaha rivers
in this State. He not only skinned
the Wisconsin smart aleck, but he
hung his hide on the fence to dry.
Frear posed as treasury watchdog
and Mr.. Clark tore his pretence off
him by exposing the fact that he
had been seeking to sneak two bills
through the House appropriating
$4,000 each for postoffice buildings
in couple of Wisconsin villages of
a little more than 1000 population
in his own district. Frank Clark is
one of the men in Congress-and
they are not numerous--who has the
vocabulary, the knowledge and the
courage to rise in his seat and talk
effectively to the point when weaker
men would say nothing, no matter
who likes it or dislikes it. He is
too temperamental and volcanic for
the grave deliberations of the Sen
ate, but he's bully good fighter in
the rough and tumble debates of the
House where it is frequently neces-
sary to call spade spade.

Pinellas county probably has more
politics, other things being equal,
than any other county in the State.
And that's not a bad condition,
either, for it implies the opposite of
mental stagnation and proves the
presence of a lively bunch of citi-
zens. Sailing vessels never get any
where in a dead calm. And Pinellas
has lively bunch of newspapers,
also, always on the qui vive to start
something. If you don't believe it
just consider Powell and take a
slant at Straub.

The dispatches today seem to in
dictate that the Germans are on the
eve of a notable success at Antwerp.
That city is said to be one of the
most strongly fortified in the world
and it's Belgian defenders are as
brave as the bravest; but the enor-
unequalled by any in Europe, make
personal bravery almost negligible
in such a contest and from a safe
distance where no hostile shots can
reach them, they lombard and de-
stroy a city and it's defending forts
at their leisure. But the most sig
nificant and sinister news of today
is that the German aircraft, presum-
ably Zeppelins, have assailed Ant
werp from the skies, wrecked half a
dozen houses and killed a score of
people. If they can do this for Ant
werp and keep 1t up indefinitely,
they can sail across the English
channel and rain death and destruc-
ton upon London until that city is
ready to beg for mercy unless some
effective counter-attack can be de.
vised. This terrible war is likely
to reach it's most terrible stage only
when the air is darkened with a
great fleet of German Zeppelips in
action against helpless people and
cities beneath them.

Infant mortality statistics in this
country will apparently have to in
clude Mr.. Roosevelt's Progressive
party in it's next batch of figures.
The recent showing of that party at
the polls in some northern States,

strength, seems to indicate it's ex-
piring kick. Its demise will leave
the Colonel in the pathetic attitude
of politician without a party, he
having refused to go back to his

Time is the best test of truth
Here is a Lakeland story that has
stood the test of time. 1t is a story
with a point which will come
straight home to many of us.
Mrs. F. NJ. Smith, Bay and
Iowa Sts., Lakeland, says: 81 have
used Doan's Kidney Pills off and on
for some time and wouldn't be with
out them. ! had attacks of back
ache, no doubt brought on by over
exertion. The kidney action be.
came irregular and my health was
affected. Doan's Kidney Pills acted
quickly and drove away all symp-
toms of the trouble"

No Trouble Since

"On May 29th, 1914, Mrs. Smith
said: Il am glad to again testify
to the merit of Doan's Kidney Pills.
My opinion of this remedy has not
changed in any way. haven't had
to take Doan's Kidney Pills for
quite awhile. as the old complaint
has not returned"
Price soc, at all dealers. Do1't
simply ask for a kidney remedy

that Mrs. Smith had. Foster Mil
