WHY NOT THE BOUQUETS ?

The st. Petersburg Times wants
to know why this sudden eruption
Of praise for Editor Jordan of the
Punta Gorda Herald. Well, Adrian
is a fine old brother of the craft,
for one thing; also, if you've got
anything nice to say about man
don't wait until he is dead to say it.,
for he'll never know about it then.
Flowers are well enough for such
mortuary occasions, but good words
for the living are vital forces that
give them real help, and, like the
quality of mercy, they are twice
blessed, for they bless both giver
and receiver.
There is no need to be chary of
good words in this world, for they
are in plentiful stock, and it is bet
ter to use them too freely than not
at all or to hand them out so erudg-
ingly that they carry no grace nor
flavor and are like the reluctant
niggard contribution Of a miser.
Other things being equal, per-
sonal paragraph, upon appropriate
OCCASION with a kindly flavor in it
is UNNECESSARILY better than one
gratuitously tipped with a sting or
with unpleasant sarcasm llrking
between the lines. The former is
the product of generous spirit
obeying the injunction to speak no
evil nor keep selfish silence when a
pleasant word would be in season;
the latter the distilled venom of a
mean little soul or the cheap froth
OF mere smart aleck who mistakes
his coarseness for wit and his i'll
breeding for journalism with a
punch" to it.
Editor Straub is certainly not
within the latter class, and he
knows how to feel at home in the
former.

SPECIAL SESSION OF TEX
AS LEGISLATURE
CALLED FOR RE
LIEF OF FARM
ERS.

Austin, Texas, Mug, 27,-Gov.
.. 3. Colqultt OF Texas has
called the Legislature in special
session to pass a warehouse bill
to facilitate the holding of cotton.
The bulk OF the Texas crop is
marketed on the Eastern hemis-
phere and as the war has closed
the European markets the Texas
crop must either be held until
the war is over, thrown upon the
American mills or sold to Specu-
lators, \ warehouse bill is pro.
posed to enable the farmers to
store their cotton i'll bonded
warehouses and for the issuance
OF negotiable receipts under State
supervision. The banker, it is
understood, will, if desired, loan
money on the cotton so stored at
4 very low rate OF interest, en-
abling the producer to keep pos
session of his cotton.
The Texas crop is estimated at
.hrec and onc-half million bales,
valued at approximately $780,
100000. Texas produces one
fourth of the cotton crop of the
world. The American mills are
capable of handling about IS per
cent of the production of the
United States, leaving 100000
bales to be exported and of this
amount the English spinners take
100000 bales; Germany 2,2oo,-
900 bales; France 100000 bales ;
Italy 100000 bales; and the re-
mainder of the exports so to the
mills OF Spain, Belgium, Russia,
Japan and other countries.

Those people who think that the
vast Russian army now pouring into
East Prussia will have an easy trip
to Berlin because most of the kais-
er's troops are fighting the French
and British may bye surprised to
learn that confronting this Russian
advance are 100000 German and
Austrian troops. In addition, the
broad Nistula river will have to be
passed, as well as Il line of forts the
Germans have been years in pre-
pairing The Russians will appar-
emily have all they can do to take
care of their end of the fight and
can hardly be relied on to help
their allies in France.

If both sides tell the truth the
present European war has been
marked thus far by enough cruelty
to non-combatants to make it a
conflict of barbarism that would be
diS9raceful to sayages, The truth
is bad enough, but when enemies
begin to talk about each other they
don't hesitate to rely on their
imagination for facts when the
facts give out or are too tame to be
effective. The French and Germans
are highly civilized people and it
is not likely that war would so soon
transform their well-bred young
soldiers, reared by decent parents in
good homes, into savage brutes
wantonly perpctrating all kinds of
cruelties AGAINST helpless men,
women and children.

Half Century of
Improvement In
Railway Mail Cars

Fifty years ago today the
worlds first railway mail car
was given its official test. Two
mice were responsible for the
idea. Before that day the mail
was distributed according to adj
dresses at certain designated
post-ottices, which usually were
the distributing points Of whole
states. 1t was slow and labor
Gus work. At one of these dis
trlbuting points, Green Bay,
Mich, pair OF mice made their
home in pouch that had lain
III the post-ofice for several
days. When the pouch finally
reached its destination, near the
upper shores OF Lake Superior,
tie receiving postmaster found
not only the rodent home-seek-
crs, but also large family Of lit
tie mice. They had made beds
OF chewed-up letters. The post
master reported the matter to
the Chicago office and sent along
the mice as an exhibit which
was received by George B. Arm
strong, the assistant postmaster.
10 prevent a repetition of such
an occurance, Armstrong sought
to speed up the mail service, and
finally evolved the idea of hay
ing the mail distributed on the
trans while in transit. The plan
was ridiculed. One man de
clared The Government will
have to employ a regiment OF
men to follow the trains to pick
up the letters that would be
blown ont of the cars" How
ever, the first postal-car, an ordi-
nary baggage car equipped with
racks and pigeon holes, made its
initial run from Chicago to Gin
ton, Iowa, fifty years ago today.
Today every nation in the civi-
lized world is distributing a
large part Of its mail matter in
railway mail cars. In the Uni
ted States over 1900 railway
mail clerks are separating over
90 percent of all the mail origi-
mating in this country and a
large volume coming from for
eiSn lands. They have separat-
ed IN a single year nearly $4,000
100000 pieces of mail matter. not
including registered mail. They
travel an aggregate distance Of
5o5,ooo,ooo miles every year on
the $4,000 domestic transporta
tion routes having a combined
mileage of 10000 miles. The
service has been raised to the
highest point of efficiency today
and the present ratio of errors in
distribution has been reduced to
one III 10000 pieces Of mail.
The clerks are expected to dis
tribute the mail so that there will
be no rehandling in the post Of
hces of large cities and to sepa-
rate it into packages correspond
