The largest number that has
yet been present wer, in attend
ance at the meeting of the Liter
ary society last Friday evening,
showing that the interest is in
creasing.

G. c. McLagan and Miss Gladys
Lindsey spoke in favor of inter

and Miss Anna Orin argu d

The decision of the judges was
rendered in favor Of the latter,
which would probably settle the
question so far as this country is
concerned if the action was trans

A mock trial will be staged at
the next meeting. which will nc
doubt be very interesting and
cause a good deal of merriment.
B. M. Maroon was appoi n tie d

An amendment to the bylaws

THE DISTRIBUTION OF PORK

For fifty years the interests of the
east have presided at the gateway of
the national treasury, and during this
time navy yards have been maintain
ed at high cost where never a vessel
was built or repaired. There was one
in Maine whose promoters did not
even care to conceal the fact that its
maintenance was necessary to keep
the state in the republican ranks
since there was a superstitious faith
that Gas Maine goes so goes the ma
ton it was easy to secure the sane
ton of the leaders of the party to
such an important contribution to
the campaign funds.
During all this time the protests of
democrats availed nothing to stir the
sluggish conscience of New England
that had been drugged by the rum and
gunpowder of the old slave trade into
neglect of the moral code as now in
terpreted. So New England saw her
creeks take in appropriations annual
ly and was content. Where no water
justified a donation from the pork
barrel directly she insisted on a sub
stitute from the tariff under which
she pocketed what others were COM
PEELED to pay. In succession she
found a time had arrived when the
slave trade did not pay and she de-
nounced the south for its share in the
iniquity; recently she woke to the
consciousness that protection was do
ing more for others than for herself,
and she consented to reduction of
the rates; now she finds that others
preside when the pork is dished out,
and she rises in voluble protest. For
fifty years pork was moral and cas-
lily digestible nourishment-for a lit
tie more than one year the south has
claimed share and the moralists of
all the nation stand forth to decalre
that pork is unfit for the consumption

FLORIDA LEFT OUT

Those who are urging the appoint
ment of Judge Hooker or Senator
Bryan as successor to the late Justice
Lurton, should sit down and figure
out how many appointments the state
of Florida has received for positions
outside the state. Florida demo
crazy has received little or no recog-
milton from this administration, and
the friends of the two distinguished
Floridians named might as well hold
their breath.-Miami Herald.
The Tribune regrets to state that
the observations of the Herald are en-
tirely true. So far as appointments
of national scope are concerned, Flor
ida has not received a single one.
While ambassadorships, cabinet plac-
es, and other high offices have been
distributed lavishly among other
southern states, Florida, which has al
ways rolled up a big democratic ma
jority, and which has been faithful to
the party, year in and year out, has
been conspicuously omitted from the
list of preferments of worthwhile
character.
There have been several Florida
applicants for even the modest places
in the diplomatic service-but not
one has been honored. Florida is the
only democratic state which has not
received one or more of the larger ma.
tional appointments.
The suggestion, therefore, of Sena.
tor Bryan or Judge Hooker for the
vacant places ON the supreme bench
may be dismissed without serious
consideration. There is nothing OF
this sort in the administration calen-
dar for Florida. This state has been
utterly ignored. Those who have
been rewarded for democratic service
have had to be content with purely
local offices. And yet, when it comes
to consistent and answering democ-
racy, Florida yields to no state in
the Union.-Tampa Tribune.

GUARANTEE BANK DEPOSITS

The following incident is reprinted
from the Commoner, and is especial
ly commended by Mr.. Bryan:
'It took Phil and me 10 years to
save up enough to buy our home.
Then we had a chance to sell it and
we put the money, $500, in Lori
mer's bank. 1t will be hard for us to
start saving all over again, for Phil
and I aren't as young as we used to
be-"
The speaker was Mrs. Phillip
Burke of Chicago, one of many thou
sand victims of political banking.
Last spring, when congress was
drafting the new federal banking law,
somebody proposed to make banks in
sure the money of depositors.
Bankers objected. The safe and
honest bankers claimed it wouldn't
be fair to tax them to insure against
the mistakese or crimes of unsafe or
dishonest bankers.
Let the person who wants to put
money in bank pick out safe
bank" they said
And so the deposit guaranty clause
was stricken out.
Phil and Mrs. Burke thought they
were picking out a safe bank. You
never knew sane person to put mon
ey in bank he thought unsafe. The
Burkes didn't know. Do you know,
even today, wise as you may be?
If the Burkes had wanted to Dor
row on their home, you may be sure
that Lorimer's bank wouldn't have
loaned without insuring the loan. But
when the shoe was on the other foot,
the rule didn't work both ways.
What is true of Lorimer's bank in
this respect is true of nearly every
bank in the country-you must IN
sure them if. you want to borrow
money; but they won't insure you II
you want to deposit money.
Perhaps it may not be fair to tax
the honest bankers to insure deposit
ors against dishonest ones. But u
would be as fair as to put all the tax
on the swindled depositors.
Private banking is privilege, not
a right. That being true. the power
which confers the privilege should
exact, as a condition, that money
brokers should take no toll or proflt
till they have first secured the de-
depositors with whose savings they
deal-Lansing (Mich.) State Journal

ed to pave it's streets and highways.
Millions of dollars will be spent in
the next decade for paving materials.
yet in view of this fact, which is well
known to the railroad commission, no
move has been made by that board to
carry the matter to the interstate
commerce commission for an adjust
ment of the rate. Why should the
commission wait for some foard OF
trade to employ its own counsel and
make out the case, when it possesses
primed and equipped all the neces-
sary machinery to do so, machinery
paid for with money extracted from
the people cy taxation for the sup
port of the railroad commission?
1t is time something we're done to
bring the commission to a realization
of it's duty for the impression pre-
walls that it is a moribund body,
either without the capacity or the in
clination to perform tie work com
mitted to it's care.
The Reporter-Star has but touched
the subject, but it is seasonable to
mention in this connection the long
and short haul act passed by the
last legislature to become effective
the first of the year, 1914. This is
a law which would accomplish much
in the way of equalizing freight
charges, but it was left for the COM
mission to say whether the law should
go into effect or not. The railroads
filed protest, as was expected, and
hearings were held at several points
in the state. Why these hearings
were not held prior to the first of
the year is not explained, but in any
event the hearings were conducted
and the year is more than half gone
and still we have no report from the
commission on the subject.
1t requires but little consideration
of the situation to conclude that the
overshadowing trouble with the COM
mission is one Of fundamental error.
To begin with, the commission should
know what it is about Instead of
having authority to employ experts
the commission themselves should
possess expert knowledge of the sub
jects they are to handle. The OBJ
jects to be gained by the creation and
work of the commission would be bet
ter served if the railroad commission
were abolished and a public service
commission created composed of an
attorney, transportation and rate
expert and an engineer. In that event
the help to be employed would be
clerical only, and the men with the
authority would be boss of the job.

A total of 2243 miles of good roads
were built in Florida last year at a
cost of s1,O00,000. Half of these were
surfaced with sand-clay, S57s were
made of crushed rock, and IS miles
were made of brick. Bonds have been
issued by number of Florida coun-
ties to build roads and it is estimated
that sS.OOO.OO0 will be spent for good
roads this year.
