Some Federal Officials.

Among the distinguished Floridians
in the city yesterday, men who had no
part in the ceremonies at the launch
ing, but who count in the matter of
influence just the same, were Hon.
Hayes Lewis, Collector of Internal
Revenue for Florida, and Hon. J. c.
Brown, United States Marshall. Both
are prominent in the democratic poll
tics of the State.
Mr.. Lewis for a time was consider
ing the matter of entering the race for
governor, but week or two ago an
noulced that he had decided not to do
so. Had he entered this race it would
have changed the face of the present
gubernatorial map; Hayes Lewis is a
vote getter. But he is well cared for:
he holds the chief Federal Office in
Florida, the place which under repub-
lican rule was so long filled by the
negro preacher, Joe Lee. It's different
now.
Col. Brown represented Barlow
county in the legislature of 1913.
where he made a record of active
ment in passing laws for the benefit
Of the people. He once lived in Pa
latka, where he served for a brief time
on the local police force under p. NJ.
Hagan; but that was long time ago.
You wouldn't think it to see him now,
but he thinks of it and mentions it
with apparent pride. Brown is nice:
he is making a fine record as U. S.
marshal.

To Efface Name Of Mendenhall.

Indicating the sentiment in Tarpon
Springs to efface all memory of the
Mendenhall- tragedy and forget
the whole affair, street benches bear
ing the advertisement of the J. j.
Mendenhall Lumber works in Clearwa-
ter have been repainted to obliterate
the signs. This was done by the Tar
pom Springs Civic Association, an Or
ganization of the women of the city
by request of the Tarpon Springs
Ministerial association. Whether any
significance attaches to the color is
uncertain; but gray paint was used.
A workman made the rounds of the
city yesterday afternoon with bucket
of paint and a brush and applied the
coat that covered the last glarlrv
hinder Of the blot on Pinellas county.
No one but the leading members of
the two organizations knew that this
was to be done till the painter was
seen at his task. Upon inquiry the
information was elected as to the
purpose and hackers of it.-Tarpon
Springs Leader.

Lakeland Telegram: If the golden
enthusiasm of younger years were
ours, we should like to turn our muse
loose this October morning, and, sup
plying it with ample fuel for the stunt,
urge it to burst into flame of tiorid
rhetoric that would make circus
poster hide its diminished head as it
sung the glories of day whose
charm is so radiant, so all-pervasive
and resistless that good men and wo-
men, with hearts attuned to the finer
things of life, may well feel the eX-
altation of beings just little lower
than the angels. And the mean and
selfish grouches, who love to hate
their fellow beings and turn their
heads persstently away from what IS
good in human life and nature, and
can see no beauty in the world even
these must yield little to the lure of
this sparkling autumn day and feel in
some measure at least the unaccus-
toned glow Of their better souls re-
leased for a time from the thraldom
of the selfish, SoTdid motives, the low
scheming and mean little resentments
ard iealousies that make the pro-
gram of their daily lives.
All that is best in human nature
fairly struggles to get to the surface
on such a day as this, and that which
is worst, hating beauty and grace and
all things lovely and of good report,
sinks back to the lower levels of the
man where lies the brute and all its
evil passions. 1t is day for love
ard friendship and clean speech and
kind thoughts, and the man who can't
feel its charm penetrating through the
thick layers of his selfshness and
striking music from the long silent
chords of his finer nature, is like
Ephraim joined to his idols, and we
must let him alone.
We are all the creatures Of climate
the most potent factor in our en-
vironment-and we may all thank God
that October in Florida is climate at
its best, tonic for body and soul alike,
without measure and without stint.

EX-GOV. G|LCHR|ST
AND HIS CAMP A|GN
Methods are Unique and
Smack of the Old-Time
"Wilk" Call Style.

Gen. Albert W. GilchriGt was among
the notables in the city yesterday in
connection with the launching ceremo-
MES. Gen. Gilchrist is our former
governor and candidate for the Unit
ed States Senate. During his visit to
Palatka he made every moment count
in efforts to further his campaign for
this most important office.
The first The News man saw Of Gen.
Gilchrist on his present visit to Palat-
ka was on Wednesday evening in the
rain. He was coming up from the
Clyde Line dock under an umbrella
held in one hand, while over the other
arm was slung big bunch Of circu-
lars, which proved to be his campaign
literature The News man didn't rec
ognize the distinguished gentleman in
the semi-dark; he simply was aware
that a big man with his hat brim
turned down was laboring up the in
cline in the rain. Once in the light
of John Mallem's window the big man
called out: Hello, Russell; how are
you?" Turning at the sound of this
CHEEKY voice, we recognized Florida 5
former governor.
Got here this afternoon" said the
general in response to inquiry, "and
have been walking around seeing the
people and leaving them some of my
literature; here, take one; have you
read it; take it home, there's some
mighty fine recipes on the back page;
your wife'll like it; tells how to cook
bacon and grits in best way; these
matters interest the ladies. I'm a
goin' to win in this race; everybody
says it will be Gilchrist or Trammell,
or Gilchrist or Bryan; everybody
names me in combination with one Of
the others, but they all concede that
I'm one of the top-notchers.
Say, what times that launching
take place tomorrow? How big a
boat is it? Five hundred thousand
feet of lumber! Whew! But she's
some boat; made here?
Here, my friend" and the general
stopped a passer-by," take one of
these; I'm Ex-Gov. Gilchrist, candi-
date for U. s. Senator; this contains
my platform; some fine recipes on
back side; tells how to cook grits and
bacon; be glad for you to help me out
if you can"
Then The News man introduced the
general to all passing, and to Charlie

If the Florida Citrus Exchange is
allowed to handle one-half of the
Florida citrus crop this winter, as it
claims it will, the fact will in no wise
iniure the fruit growing Industry in
Florida. The Exchange is an organi-
cation for cooperative marketing and
its organization was conceived in the
notion that by a systematic handling
of the crop growers would benefit. It
is good business proposition and
one that ought to have the sympathy
of every grower in the State, no mat
ter whether he is affiliated with the
organization or not. All are inter
ested in securing a profitable market
for Florida fruit, and the Exchange
is the king pin in this effort. As
an organization it has done more to
lift the orange growing industry If
Florida to a business basis than any
dozen other agencies. 1t began the
crusade for a perfect pack, and has
sought in every way to educate grow
ers to more systematic and business
like methods Of marketing, 1t fights
the battles of the orange grower i'll

Certain ladies of this city affiliated
with the W. c. T. L., entered a pro-
test against the smashing Of the bot
tie of champaign on the prov of the
schooner "Palatka," which was to be
launched yesterday with appropriate
ceremonies. 1t seems to The News
that the smashing is most appro-
pirate, even when looked at from a
temperance point of view. Certain
ly these ladies can think of no bet
ter use for the wine-it went down
no ones throat, as it would have done
had it not been thus used.

ideal Indian summer day, more than
40, 600 men and boys silently and rev.
erently trod three miles of the streets
of Pittsburg last Sunday, as mighty
protest against the dissertation of the
name Of Jesus Christ in particular and
profane speech in general. 1t was the
annual procession of the Holy Name
Societies of the Roman Catholic
churches of that city. After the pro-
cession Bishop Canevin said; "This is
a great demonstration of devotion to
faith and religion and the Holy Name.

our country when such a number Of
men as are represented here will thus
publicly express their faith and de
votion to our divine Lord and Sa-

THE SWEETEST TEXT
OF SCRIPTURE"

That is the title of an editorial j
last weeks Ocala Banner. 1t is BIT
one of a series of kindred editorial
such as have been appearing IN IN
Banner for many months and whic
have made the name Of Editor Fran
Harris famous as an advocate c
peace. This one ought to set men t
thinking. If they will but thinl
Florida will be saved a heap Q
trouble. But here is the Banner
editorial:
Despite the terrific warfare
made on the Roman Catholic
church by Editor Thomas Z. Wat
son of Georgia, and Editor George
G. Mathews of Florida, we can
but have fondness for that
beautiful verse in the Bible
which reads:
Behold, how good and pleas
ant it is for brethren to dwell
together in unity.'
The remainder Of the chapter
COOS IN n describe inst how rood
End nIaasant if is.
TiS+on to what if saws.
az az is ike nrerions ointment m
on the head, that ran down up
on the beard, even Aaron's beard;
that went down to the skirts Of
his garments
In biblical times precious ONT
ment was regarded with more pc
culiar delirht than we now re-
gard precious stones, or more
Than orr fathers REGARDED the
vintaDe of old wines.
We are told that when Jesus
was in the house of Simon. the
Ienor as he SAT at meat
"There came a woman having
an aiahaster box of ointment of
snikenaro very precious: and she
brake the box. and poured it on
his head"
In no greater way could she
have shown her love and devotion
So we proclaim that we have a
fondness for the text which SAYS
that if is both pleasant and GOOD
for brethren to dwell together in
unity.
This cannot be done unless one
is hroad-minded, and is tolerant
Of the oninions of others.
We do not like TO see one de-
nomination abuse another demon

pious neighbors, but one was sick abed
and the other had gone fishing and
wouldn't be back until late that night.
He called on all the members of his
family, but as he had vigorously OPP
posed their praying while he was in
health, none of them were in prac-

mon an old niger named Ike, much
renowned for his strenuous praying at

and reported that the sheriff had just

carried him off to jail. At this news,
the bad mans last hope expired.
