IRISHMEN FIGHTING
FOR THE ALLIES

Speaking at Dublin last week, Mr..
John +. Redmond announced that
the official rolls of the British army
showed that l20,741 lrishmen from
Ireland had joined the British army
since the beginning of the war, OF
whom 10000 We're Catholics, a.
GEO were Protestants from Ulster,
and the remainder unbiased. This
is exclusive of the Irishmen serving
in the regular army at the begin
ming of the war, estimated to num-
Der over $4,000, and the Irishmen
who had enlisted at recruiting Off
ces in various English cities. Mr..
Redmond thinks that between So
600 and $4,000 freshmen have en-
listed at London, Liverpool. Bir-
mingham, Manchester and other
English cities.

The Pensacola Independent makes
the point that the Davis package
law is onerous, oppressive and I'M
constitutional because the saloon
keeper can't even take drink OF
red ticker at his own bar but must
equip himself with full pint OF
the stuff and move carefully fifty
feet away before he can do the act
of imbibing. A discussion of this
grave constitutional issue before a
full bench of solemn jurists, with
an imposing array of learned coun-
sci on each side would be an illum-
mating spectacle.

MEANEST MAN IN
FLORIDA HAS BEEN FOUND

We frequently read in the papers
of the doings Of the meanest ms n
vet" but all We have so far heard
about the meanest man in charity
and honor compared with what the
newspaper thief is guilty Of
The Telegraph frequently sends
out bills to delinquent subscribers
Many of the letters containing the
bills are returned to us by the post
masters, because the parties address,
ed have moved away. Now after
the removal of a subscriber from a
post fIioc. if the papers addressed to
him are not called for, the post
master notifies the publisher of the
removal; if he does not. it means
that the papers are called for. IS
it often happens that the moving
subscriber is in arrears with his
subscription, he doesn't care to ask
the postmaster to have the papers
sent to his address. Yet his friends
or relatives call for the paper and
read it, and say nothing until the
letter with the bill comes, then they
haven't the least idea where the
subs criber can be found, and we
lose from one to three years sub
scrption.
We are sorry to have to air this
phase of newspaper beating and de-
plore that there are people small
enough to practice it.-Starke Tele-

We feel a very sincere sorrow over
the death of Col. J. d. Calhoun, of
Tampa, a few days ago. Colonel
Calhoun was an exceptionally able
man and rose from the tourist print
er's case to a heighth in journalism
that made him one of the ablest edi-
torial writer's and all-round news
paper men in the South. Georgian
by birth and Confederate soldier
on the firing line, the lure of the
great West drew him to that Sec
tion soon after the war and there
his fine native ability and the thor
oughbred strain in him broadened
him into a big man on big ques-
tions with no handicap of undue sec
tional prejudice to obscure his vision
or narrow his views. He thought
in a large American way on all ma
tional issues and found that atti-
tude not Incompatible with just
loyalty to his native section and its
traditions. In Nebraska where he
lived for years he became the warm
personal friend of William Jen-
nings Bryan and to the latter's in
fiuence probably was due the posi-
sitions Colonel Calhoun received in
the customs department in Tampa
after Mr.. Wilson became president
His reading as well as his expert
ence had covered wide range and
he could write instructively on
large variety of subjects A low
able old philosopher he was and his
work for years on the Florida press
notably the editorial page of the
Tampa Times, will be long remem
bered by those who were impressed
by deep. clear thought expressed ii

Here Is the latest news in nut
shell from the Mendenhall case and
it is highly labor-saving para
graph to those people who don t
want to spend their time reading
many columns of guesses and specu-
lations and taking long excursions
on blind trails that lead nowhere.
Says the Clearwater Sun:
ut is none of our business, but it
seems to us that some papers are
burning up a lot of space on the
Eliot tragedy, repeating the same
story day by day. There has not
been a new development since last
Monday that is the least bit ma
terial."

The St. Petersburg Times seems to
think that Sheriff Whitehurst is
forging chain of evidence around
Mendenhall too strong to be broken
when the case is tried. That paper
says:
clearwater and all sections of
Pinellas county are experiencing
that flood of new evidence" in the
Eliot murder case that usually fol-
lows crimes of this sordid nature.
II is the natural evolution of the
speculative mind, and the recent
Frank case presented no more acute
instances of the ends to which per-
sons will allow their lamentations
to go than has been experienced in
this case.
"Those peculiar minds which form
theory, then comment on 1t, then
recite lit as fact are found in
many numbers in this county. From
small conjectures alarming stories
have grown, and SherlH Wnltenursl
has found it necessary to do an un-
usually extra amount of work to run
down the various clues, some of
them seeming to have some merit
Not one piece of evidence has de-
veloped since the sheriff and JUS
tice Evans made their first invest
cations. Much Of this evidence has
never been made public, but 1t will
be brought out at the proper time.
Sheriff Whitehurst has been very
busy man. and has left no stone UNI
turned to make the chain of circum-
stances so strong and so perfect
that it will be impossible to break
it when the case is called for hear
ing at the September session of the
Pinellas county circuit court.

The Eustis Lake Region gives a
highly complimentary account of the

Drane is a good mixer -as well as a

Germany apparently cares for no

Old Brother Cats fell down alb
solutely and completely Saturday
afternoon in his weak and lame at
tempt to meet a plain statement in
the Telegram fully disproving his
VIGOROUSLY false, silly and absurd
charge that this paper was Cath
Ollie organ. He begged the ques-
ton" because he knew the Telegram
had put him in hole, and making
no attempt to prove his charge or
answer what we said, he fell back
on the well-worn proverb of Sam
Jones and shouted to his hearers:
The hit dog howls." Sure it did
howl, old brother, and that audi
ence heard it howl, for it has a
strong voice and there was no way
to keep from hearing it except to
leave the park. Or to drop Sam
Jones figure of speech and get to
the literal truth, the hit Cats
squalled.

The Tampa Times says "Au re-
voir, old friend" to Colonel Cal
houn, who died the other day, and
this is a better word than goodbye
or farewell, for it implies that the
parting is but for time and the
divided friends shall meet again. II
it is otherwise and the fine, rare
soul of James Duncan Calhoun,
which had but found the beginning
of it's possibilities here, has been
sent back to blind and primal chaos
from whence all mind and matter
came, to be utilized in some other
form of force in natures infinite va
riations, then are reason and instinct
both Knocked by the unreasonable
cruelty in whose grasp we writhe
and the universe itself is but a
