1t is expecting almost too much
of human nature to ask the Senate
to adopt cloture rule that will shut
off debate in that honorable body re-
gardless of the wishes of the hon
orab!c orators who are flooding the
chamber with their cloquence. The
interests of LEGISLATION imperatively
demand such a rule, but your great
American senator, posed for oratory,
always holds that nothing in this
world ie n''i.n so important as the
Unrestricted flow of his Illuminating
CAB.

for peace with the ravening dogs of
war and telling them what a wicked,
wicked thing it is tn be cutting up
in that shameful manner Henry
has added new and browning bit
of humor to the long list of jokes
associated with his popular automo-
bile name, and it is all the better
joke because he doesn't see the point
to it and takes his mission with such
deep solemnity.

as the skunk of pessimism, the hy-

There are still quite a number of
people who, despite all the evidence
to the contrary, insist that the coun-
try is having very hard times. Some
OF these, in the mercantile class who
thus lament, really have valid
basis for their complaint. They are
having hard times and the reason is
not tar to seek: They have goods to
sell, hut carefully refrain from tell
Ing the public of the fact through

answer of such a merchant to the
big modern fact that publicity

Ur in Marion county they vote on
the wet or dry proposition today
and as Ocala is about the last strong
hold Of John Barleycorn among the
interior cities Of Florida, interest in
the result is by no means confined
to that section but is felt throughout
the state. The fight has been not
loud but deep, and orators from as
far north as Chicago have been i'm
ported to preach the blessings of the
liquor traffic. The nero vote prob
ably represents the balance of pow
er and will decide the result.

Miami didn't like her rating in
the census, but she is mighty proud
of her new street car system and
points exultingly to the fact that
last Saturday when the cars operat-
ed there for the first time they han
died 500 passengers during the day.
Not bad for starter, but you've
got to break in people to the
street car habit, and a year hence
the conductors over there will prob
ably ring up many more nickles than
they did last Saturday. The local
traction system is the real test of a
city of metropolitan pretensions.
