Don't worry about the Hon. Ion L.
Farris and his candidacy for governor,
His chapeau is already in the ring
and before the end Of the week peo-
Pile will be reading about him in sec
tion of their local papers in almost
every county in the State. A jack
sonville printing establishment is
printing supplements to many differ
ent county papers-those that have
been awarded the publication Of the
laws enacted at the recent session of
the legislature and which they are
required to send to each registered
voter in their respective counties. Sen
ator Farris has a preferred position
on the last page of this supplement
and under a fairly good picture of the
gentleman is a story of his achieve
ments. There is also the positive an,
nouncement that he is a candidate for
governor, subject to the democratic
primary of 1916.

At the risk of being charged with
iingoism during this period dedicated
to watchful waiting, we would certain
ly like to read some morning, and that
p. d. O., that General Funstan had
picked up a good half-hundred of
those Mexican greezers who cross our
border and make disturbances, and
had spanked their several subsequent
ends until the blush came. If that
didn't cure 'em of the habit of coming
into the United States with their guns,
then we would recommend an hypo-
dermic injection of turpentine, or a
charge of rock-salt firmly but judi

same section of their anatomy. The

State Auditor Amos, after a tho
rough examination into the doings of
the Duval county board of commits
sioners, has made a report to Gov.
Trammell (made public on Monday
which, considered as the operations of
a gang of cheap grafters, does them
only scant credit. The majority of
this board, who were banded together
by a signed agreement, could have
profited more than they evidently did
without increasing the indignity of
citizens after the exposure. Men who
go in for graft have no reason to ex-
pect sympathy from the rank and file
when they fail to go the limit AS a
result of this exposure the represen-
tative citizens of Jacksonville are in
dignant to a degree rarely seen in
that city. A large number of them

A Minnesota admirer of Senator

A Minnesota admirer of Senator
Fletcher has written Florida's distin-
guished senior senator suggesting his
nomination by the next national DEM
ocratic convention for the office of
Vice President. Now, that sounds
good to US, and we presume it will
find a responsive echo in the mind
and heart of the Senator. Anyway
there is something worth fietcherih-
ing in the morsel, Wilson and Fletch-
err" To the everlasting rural credit
of that Minnesota farmer, be it said
that he's hit upon ticket to tickle
Floridians.

Appropriates Putnam's Thrift

Gainesville Sun: If the Florida
farmers would only get busy and
take care Of their fruit and vegetable
crops there would not be much occa-
sion for shipping in canned goods
from other states. Take the matter
of tomatoes. There are thousands
and thousands of cans which are put
up in Maryland, New Jersey, and 9TH
er sections consumed in Florida annu-
ally. And yet within 20 miles, i,
Price, near Melrose, has put up over
1000 cans of tomatoes this season,
the product of little more than one
acre of ground. And all this work
was done within his own family. Now
what Mr.. Price has done can be dupli.
Gated by all the farmers in Alachua
county and that would put an end to
importing tomatoes for this section at
least.
Sure, if Mr.. Laban Price of Putnam
county can raise and can that many
tomatoes from a little more than an
acres of land, there seems to be No
reason why the farmers over in Ala
chua county should not at least try

Lord Cecil Says If Cotton Is Made
Contraband, The Step Can Be
Legally Justified

London-Lord Robert Cecil, parlia,
mentary under secretary for foreign
affairs, in formal interview, defining
the British governments attitude in
the cotton situation, made this state
ment:
The allies must, by all lawful
means, prevent cotton reaching their
enemies; it may be considered neces-
sary to make cotton contraband."
At the same time Lord Cecil refrain
ed from any hint that the commodity
would be removed from the free list
at any specific date or that the gov
ernment had evolved any solution to
meet the demands of American cotton
growers and neutral consumers. He
said explicitly, however, that if cot
ton were made contraband, England
would consider the act legal and inter-
nationally justified.
The statement, being the first in be-
half of the government outside par
lament relative to cotton, and coming
at a time when the public is clamor.
ing for drastic action to shut off the
supply from Germany, is taken in
some quarters to presage this step in
the near future.
Lord Cecirs statement, which is pre-
faced with the explanation that it de-
scribes the governments position con-
cerning cotton so far as it is at the
moment possible to define it," follows
in part:
"The British government, acting in
conjunction with its allies, is giving
the cotton situation its continuous
and most earnest consideration. The
government is fully aware of the i'm
portance of cotton to America. We
fully understand that upon a salts
factory adjustment of the matter de-
pends to a considerable degree the
welfare of nearly a quarter of the
population of the United States. The
welfare of the whole population of
Great Britain, however, also is involv-
ed, as we'll as that of all Great Brit
aims allies, for whom the British gov
ernment is acting in these and other
matters concerning contraband and
trade"

reels ever seen in the world. 1t is
ID'Annunzio's "Cabira" of IA reels,
which ran for two years in New York
at 81 a seat. The great spectacle re-
quired 1000 actors, 20 elephants,
hundreds of horses and cost over
$250,000 to produce. 1t is a wonder
|ful creation and Manager Kalbfeld
had to make a supreme effort to Sc
cure it for Palatka. The News is not

that Mr.. Kalbfield will be obliged to

Edgar w. Waybright, young law
yer of Jacksonville, feels that he has
been called to enter politics with the
view of securing a seat in the next
Florida legislature. Mr.. Waybright
may be mistaken in this call as he was
in his original call to the ministry,
which he abandoned after few short
pastorates. Anyway in politics he
will find that "many are called but
few are chosen" while in the ministry
some are called while few are only
posin'.

FERNAND|NA'S SELF
STYLED CHAMPIONS
Met With the Real Thing in
Palatka Yesterday.

A big crowd saw the self-styled
champions of Fernandina get a good
|trouncing by the Palatka baseball
club yesterday. If the visitors ever
had an idea that they can play ball
they should dismiss it. They are not
in the Palatka class. Aside from
their pitcher and catcher, who make
an excellent battery, the club is of
the Callahan, Baldwin, Yulee and YOU
kon class. The crowd felt sorry for
them. The Palatka team simply toy
ed with the visitors, who be it said to
their everlasting credit, did secure one
earned run, and that homer. The
other run was simply in the nature Of
a josh. The score was 8 to 2.
Next week Palatka expects 10
tackle the fast Ocala team.

TO BOND FOR
BRICK ROADS.


On September 14th, next, the free
holders of the Palatka road district
defined in the call for election puo-
Gshed in another part of this paper)
who are qualified voters in the pre-
cincts within the district so defined,
will be called on to say whether or
not the district described shall issue
bonds to pay for brick roads.
Perhaps the most important OF the
proposed brick roads is the one lead
ing from the east side of the st. johns
river bridge to the county line on the
east, and connecting with the St
Johns county brick road, a part of the
great Dixie Highway leading from
Chicago to Miami.
Other proposed connecting roads
are to run to San Mateo and Federal
Point on the east side of the river,
and on the west side from Palatka to
Rice Creek and to Peniel. All these
roads are to be of brick with stone
or concrete curbing and are to be as
permanent as possible.
Palatka's interest in this proposed
system of roads is not all selfish, and
vet when it is considered that the
roads proposed are all to be outside
the limits of the city, it must be ad-
mitted that selfshness is playing an
important part in our advocacy. Our
benefit is to be direct. So also are
the interests of the farmers through
whose sections the roads are to run.
The amount of money estimated to
be needed to build this system of brick
roads is $208,000.
The News is glad that the proposed
bond issue is meeting with such hear
ty approval at the hands Of the free
holders; that they are so generally
recognizing the Importance Of such an
investment.
More than anything else it means
that these roads will secure US new
settlers and recognition as one OF the
most progressive farming sections OF
the state. The settlers who will be
attracted to these farm lands whlcf
we propose to make available through
the building of roads will help t(
make payment of the bonds easy.
The direct benefit to Palatka vii
come from the increased trade secured
to it from the sections penetrated ant
from points on the road system out
side the county. Palatka will then D'

and in no part of the state are tn
farmers so well pleased with thel
land investments. They are making
money.

Leo M. Frank, the convict murderer

prison by mob of some 25 men on
Monday night and lynched. Franks
body was discovered hanging to a
tree, riddled with bullets, within two
miles of Marietta at $50 Tuesday

which this man was convicted, for the
average citizen to work himself into a

Franks fate. Nevertheless, when a

over the morality and civilization OF
their beloved Empire State of the
South, but rather that they will hang
their heads in shame over it. The
men who composed the mob and who
said by their action that they were
above this civilization-above the ju.
dicial and executive branches of or.
ganized society, may feel that they
are of the class of sinners whose very
immunity entitled them to fire the
first shot at this convict, but in reality
their crime against civilization is on

are sssassins who did their cowardly
