IS. j. Triplett is the publisher"
On the first page of this issue
will be found a letter from the
Hon. Albert w. GilchriSt, candi-
date for the United States Senate,
wherein he states that if elected
he will use every effort to put a
stop to the unholy competition.
This is the first pledge the Tribune
has received from any candida
for the national congress, and it
gives us much pleasure to repro
duce the letter, for it shows ex-
Governor Gilchrist to be man of
sound and firm conviction and not
afraid to go on record as to what
he will or will not do in matters
of national character.
There is no question but what
the power lies in the press of the
country to put an end to this
competition" on the part of the
government, and why should not
Florida lead in this fight, as she
leads in all other thingsY Every
paper with a job office attached
has entered a most vigorous pro-
test time and again, against this
practice, but when tangible pro-
position is presented to them to
put stop to it, the editors touch
the harp too gently to be heard.
Is it possible the editors of Florida
|are lacking in nerve, that they
!are afraid of being separated from
that weekly meal ticket that they
are afraid to speak out on the sub
ject. Or is it that they think the
scheme no good? If the latter,
then for heaven S sake let them
propose one that is better, more
feasible, that will produce the
goods.
The editors of Florida and all
other states have ever been the
footballs of politicians, and the ha-
bit of printing weekly that Hon.
So and So, candidate for congress,
did such and such," is so strong
that they just can't do without

Mr.. Editor:
Seeking views in the matter OF
the change in style and location OF
the public well, ] met a horse,
there in front of the Post Office
the other day, and asked him his
opinion of the change. He seem
ed a self-respecting, eminently
peaceful horse; but at mention OF
that subject he just threw up his
head and CRASHED down on his bit
"Why what do you suppose |
think? Gee! A horse can't even
get a drink of good, cool water
now without his driver goes out
of his way for it, and we never
get to rub noses any more, cause
only one horse can drink at once.
Those old crank buggies don t
want water at all, but they've
gone and given up the whole road
to them, and the people have to
pillow through the sand just the
same to their little common faucet
where the sand splashes mud.
There s some things horse comes
here for, and when they do away
with them-well! I'm thinkin
of runnin away from home to
Join a circus" and he nickered
somethin frightful. "May be
when we're all gone, they'll put
the well back" A tear trickled
down his nose.
A mule, nearby, here saw fit to
add his views by bawling OUT

stream of water. Spea<in' fer

HOME MADE BOOZE
 CAUSE OF SUICIDE
Death of Woman DiscIoses Horrible Conditions Existing in eia coun- ty.
GLOBE, April aEDiasracetul con

GLOBE, April 2-Disgraceful con ditions arising out of the sale of home made booze" by booleggers whose business has been fourishing since statewide prohibition went into effect the first of the year were re vealed in Judge Hfnson Thomas court when an inquiry vae made into the death of Mrs. Belle Murray, who shot herself while riding home from < . dance at wheatnelds early Sunday morning. The verdict of the coroners jury was that tho woman committed suicide
 It was discovered through the eyi- dence at the inquest that powerful intoxicants, evidently alcoholic mix lures of nondescript character, were freely dispensed at the dance and that a large number O: the members of the party became hopelessly intoxicated. One fourteen year old girl, who ss.-d that she had never before taken a drink of intoxicating liquor, testified that she lost consciousness Saturday night and knew nothing more until Sunday afternoon, when she woke up in the home of a relative. A nine year-old boy was also said to have been made drunk on the liquor that was flowing at the dance.
 Willie Stroupe, on whose lap the Murray woman was sitting when she blew out her brains, stated that he remembered Mexican who was play ing in the orchestra with him, fell off his chair and that he had no remem- brance of anything that happened afterwards until he woke up the next day in rooming house in Globe. He did not know until later that the wo- man had committed suicide.
 The grand jury has taken up an in- veEtigation of the case. The grand jurors are endeavoring to learn where the drinks consumed by the dancers were obtained. and indictments in that, connection are expected.

 The object of the withdrawal. as fsrated in the order. ia flat 1t is sto be used in connection with the pro posed San Carlos dam ana irrigation project. !" N
 This project has been andes con sideration for c number o3 years, but no steps of . definite nature have ever before been taken to indicate that it would be carried through. Last year an appropriation of $6O,- 900 was made for further investiga- tion of the proposed project and to prevent the initiation / of further rights along the river" As very lit tie of this money has been expended it leaves small sum to commence preliminary operations with.
 The land withdrawn by this order is described as lots one, two, three and four, and southeast quarter of southeast quarter, and south half of southeast quarter of section seven; all Of sections eight, nine and ten; west half of northeast quarter and west half of section eleven; west half of section, fourteen, and all of section fifteen, all in township four south range eleven east.
 The withdrawal embraces all of the formerly located dam sites and heads of the various canals on the river which are now used for irri- gation and it is intended for the loca- tion of the diversion dam and such land adjacent / as may be necessary for the purpose.
 The site Of the reservoir or stor- age dam is located about fifty miles farther up the stream from the land withdrawn by this order.

lect a wife, his wits have become
sharpened. He has visited at so many
homes of his married chums, hearing
their praises or complaints regarding
home life, that he cannot help having
formed his own line of thought He is
inclined to be lenient in his opinions
toward the presiding angel of the
home. If he adds another ten years
to his bachelor life ere he weds, he is
apt to become less tolerant with a
woman's idea of household economy.
He wants a wife comely to look
upon. He would pass over many an
other quality in favor of youth. He
knows the advantage of molding wife
to husbands ways, and expects to
find the head of woman of forty on
the shoulders of a girl of twenty. If
he finds she is not well up in the art
of cooking. he sets her at it. He buys
her cook book, and she is plunged
forthwith into the household tread
mill; not where her husbands mother
began as bride, but where that good
lady left off.
He expects his wife, no matter how
tired she may be from encounters with
the maid, to be just as sweet and
agreeable to him when he comes home
as in their counting days-with not
even cloud in ner sky. He expects
5toalook over the household bills, sug-
costing the cutting down of the gas
bill If 1t appears too high, or the coffee
bill, which shows few pounds more
have been used this month than last.
He calls his wife to task about buying
a new hat, declaring she is extrava-
CANT in purchasing two within year.
Immediately there is war in camp.
She reminds him that one was straw
hat for summer, ironically remarking
that she had to have warmer headgear
in winter, unless he wanted to see her
make freak of herself by wearing
straw hat when snow was blowing.
He expects she will be satisfied with
out compliments, tenderness and love-
making which he gave her before she
exchanged her name for his, and not
have secret longings for the kiss of
affection now and then, nor the thrill
ing touch OF lingering clasp as she
passes him his morning cup of cof-
fee. The man who expects the sole
business and happiness of a wife
should be to cater to his pleasure,
heroically putting aside all her own
comfort and enjoyment, makes matri-
mony hard road to travel. A hus-
band should expect that which will
never disappoint him-that the aver
age wife will do the very best she can
on each and all occasions-for loves
sake only.

Much trouble as well as much
amusement was caused during the
early stages of the canal work by the
inability of the jamaican negroes to
take any except a strictly literal view
of orders. In unloading vessel at

minutes later the boss of the gang
