Albert Williamson, of the Flori-
dian, took note of the editors at the
big feed in Jacksonville last week
and had this to say of Frank Har-
ris, of the Oca1a Banner, which
gracefully expresses what all the
rest of us believe:
Hon. Frank E. Harris, one of
the few ''old timers of the Florida
Press, was mingling among the
throng of hungry editors seen here
this week. Everybody who knows
Frank Harris, admires him not only
for his unquestionable ability as a
newspaper man, but because of the
gentleness of his manner He is
truly gentleman of the old school
and we are not going to wait till he
dies to say So"

Newspapers as Buffers.

Nothing fills the place oil buffer
in trunk like newspapers; they are
so unyielding that wrinkles and pro-
tuberances cannot make themselves
felt 1t is useless to try to arrange
heavy articles at the bottom of the
trunk and light ones on top-the bag
gage handlers know no top and no
bottom Convenience in handling is
all that concerns them. BY keeping
an even. smooth surface for each sue
cescive layer one is doing ones best
to protect the contents.

Play Your Own Hand.

In this land of opportunity you are
cautioned against merely recognizing
good chance and stopping there.
Dreaming that there is money in some.
thing doesn't get the money out.
Neither is the plan of playing one
mans capital against that of another
fellow the best way to set the get
ting rich. You must invest your en-.
ergy as well as money in order to
make success.-Los Angeles Times.

The Pensacola Journal comes out
in ringing double-leaded editorial
declaring that Escamhia county
should be bonded for Sl.o00 .000 TO
be expended for good roads and says:
"Thev would double the value of
practically every acre Of farm land
in the county They would double
the population of the county outside
of the city in five years. The naw set
tiers alone would pay enough taxes
to take care of this bond issue #
you want to figure it that way.
There is no answer possible to
that statement of the benefits to be
derived from such an expenditure.
nor to this further statement bv the
Journal, which is as true for Polk as
for Escambia:
THE interest on $1,000, 900 at
- per cent would he only s45, QUO
per year. We are now spending for
road construction and maintenance
(mostly maintenance which doesn' I
maintain s45, 600 per year, just cv-
actly what the interest on bonds
amounts to.

RUDE Allyn and Willis Powell,
both seasoned orators of the Florida
press, were strangely silent at the
recent meet and feed in Jacksonville.
1t was doubtless the depressing in
fluence of that cold northern climate

The St. Petersburg Times seems
to think that good roads would be
Florida's greatest asset. Looked at
one way, yes; but perhaps a better
way to put it would be that our win
ter climate is the States greatest
asset, but we can't realize on it ex-
orFt in very limited degree without
the good roads.

The Savannah News, one of the
best of Southern papers, has been
doubly unfortunate here of late.
Something more than month ago
Mr.. Hancock, the editor of the pa
per, died very suddenly, and now
comes the news that George A.
Gregory, the managing editor, is also
dead after brief illness A good
newspaper man, highly trained for
his work and always faithful to his
duty, is not easy to find, and his loss
is hard to replace, for such men are
comparatively scarce and cant be
had for the asking. 1T takes, first
of all, natural aptitude and then
years of training to turn them out
as skilled workmen ready for the
job, and the output is by no means
large.

This from the Leesburg CONNER
cial should convey a gentle hint to
those people who carry the amazing
and amusing idea under their hats
that those born in Florida are by the
fact itself superior to those born
ELSEWHERE and who came here after
wards. Eliminate the latter from our
population and there would be an
awful shrinkage. The accident of
birth neither makes nor mars a man.
and the building of this great con-
tinental republic of ours with its
forty-seven robust states would have
been practically impossible without
the steady passage of new blood
across State lines and the broad in
telligence that despised the narrow
provincialism of discrimination be-
cause of birth. Says the Commercial:
Don't call the man who adopts
Florida as his home an inIerioper
Remember that YOU had nothing to
do with it if you were born here,
while he used his noodle and select
ed this as his home You're an ac-
cident; he's an event.

four years ago by some Kansas farm,

each, no member being permitted to

started with capital of $4,000. The

one million. In addition to paying the

members they received rebate.
