A SOUTH FLORIDA
PUBLICATION.

As a supplement to its issue OF
Monday, March LIST, the Tampa
Morning Tribune sent out an 80
page book entitled "Semi-Tropic Flor
ida Development Year Book, 1915
This is a most beautifully illustrated
exposition of the growth and deyel.
opment of Tampa and all of south
Florida for the year 1914, and is one
of the most valuable publications ever
issued in behalf of Florida. Its edi.
tor and compiler is Mr.. Gilbert d.
Leach, one of the most painstaking
and consequently most valuable men,
bers of the Tribune's staff. This book
is sold at Is cents per copy, or
in lots of 100 or more at the rate of
$40 per hundred. 1t would pay any
section of Florida, especially the par
ticular sections touched in the book,
to order them by the car load; such
advertising will tell not only for the
Tampa territory, but for the whole
state.
By the way, when will Tampa quit
hOllerin' for south Florida to the ex-
clusiOn of other parts of the State?
Tampa is big enough and great
enough to take first place in the
minds of every Floridian who has
made a study of the relation of CT
ties to the rural sections of the
State. 1t is not provincial town; it
has outgrown that; it IS cOsmOpOli-
tan in thought; then why not in ac-
ton. The Tampa Tribune is a great
paper, by thousands and thousands
regarded as the greatest in the en-
tire State, and yet it has generally
confined its activities to South Flor
ida when it ought to cover all. We
like it because it is in harmony with
the democracy of Florida; because its
policy is a Florida policy; its editors
are actuated by Florida sentiment
and are not subservient to outside
influences. There is nothing we would
like better than see such paper
get strange hold on this city Of
Palatka, or any other Florida com.
munity that is in danger of being be.
trayed into the hands of a "galvan.
lied" democracy through reading the
editorial utterances of manacled
metropolitan press.

invitations to come and testify
have been sent to the president OF the
Chicago board of trade, to Patton

There is less money for bread and
the loaves are shrinking, visibly
shrinking. The ragged mother has
net been invited to testify and neith-
err will she be represented by cOun-

out of a job has not been invited to

M t SUFFRAGE.

NJ tsUFFRAGE.
I'M, ing of bAnna Howard Shaw, president
vi not national equal suffrage asso
10 IT.. md perhaps the foremost ad.
w.. fac fast IF the cause in America, de-
chino an address at Orlando re.
Rrmapr which throws some new light
<tln the subject of equal suffrage in
the South.
1t has been our observation that
while the women of this section are
not saying much, they are thinking
deeply on this question, and that the
opposition to equal suffrage is large
ly confined to the men.
Politicians in Florida, at least, are
10th to declare themselves on this
subject now so prominently before
the country. Many of them are poll
ticians of the Old-schOOl who fall back
on the ideas of their daddies, all I'M
mindful that the women are changing,
and that the ideas which governed
the "clinging vines" Of former gen
Grafton are not the ideas which are
governing the thinking, more militant
women of today.
But the men of the south seem al
so to be taking on an added interest
in this subject of equal suffrage. AT
least if the following statements
made by DR.. Shaw to the Orlando Re-
porter-Star are to be credited, they
are making show of interest which
augurs well for the cause in the south
DIR. Shaw said:

en- before more enthusiastic au-

RUSSIAN FORCES ARE
 ROUTED IN GALICIA
Sweeping Victory Is Claimed
 by Berlin Report.

A sweeping Austro-German victory over the Russian forces in western Ga licia on the Tarn0w front was an nounced at the Berlin military head quarters. It was on this front that the -czar's lines approached nearest to Cracow. the Austrian fortress.
 The ofiicia! statement asserted that the Russians were thrown back on the whole of the line extending from the junction of the Vistula and DOnajec rivers to a point close to the Hunga rian frontier, distance of about sixty miles. and that in their retreat they abandoned large quantities of War mu- nitions and supplies.
 The official statement said:
 In the southeastern theater in the pres ence of the Austrian commander in chief. Field Marshal ArchdulIe Frederick, and under the leadership of General-ColoneI von Mackensen the~ llied troops after bit ter fighting pierced everywhere and crush ed the entire Russian front in west Galicia from the neighborhood of the Hungarian frontier to the junction of the Donajec river with the Vistula.
 Such of the enemy as succeeded in es- caping are Tn nasty retreat toward the east, closely pursued by the allied troops The trophies of the victory cannot yet even be approximately estimated.
 In the eastern theater during further pursuit of the Russians, who were fleeing in the direction of Riga, we captured four cannons and four machine guns. We also took HOO prisoners south of Mitau sc that the total number of prisoners was in crea sed to 800.
 The Russian attacks southeast of KaI- warya failed with heavy losses to the en- emy. The Russians were driven back across the Skeainga. They left 33O prison CTS in our hands
 Northeast of Skierniewice the Russians also suffered a heavy defeat in which they lost a great number in killed and 1OC men taken prisoners.
