The very bitterness with which our
gubernatorial campaign has been conduct
ed is the greatest proof of the unquench-
able strength with which the flames of de-
nocracy - using the word in its larger

pie. Refusing to surrender their freedom
Of opinion to anyone, they showed that the

Americans will always fight for what they

mistake they make in details, can never go
far wrong in the ultimate analysis.

TIMES Of Florida having been chosen by
the sacred voice of the majority, it is the
duty of all to give him their support Par
tisanship, so necessary yesterday, is today
little short of criminal To raise your voice
against the general will, is to invite the
desolation that has fallen upon Mexico.
No matter what your party, the whole
truth is that Florida is bigger than any one
man or any one party. Our prosperity is
not matter of personal charity; our
liberty is not a thing that one man can
bestow and another withhold. As politics
was meyer able to break country-even
during reconstruction ,days-so politics
will never make country.
That is for us to do. We have 100000
acres to develop; we have cities to build
we have industries to establish Unless
united our efforts will be as vain as at
theiTower of Babel, where no man under

One day / was wandering at leisure
through an ancient and abandoned
cemetery, reading here and there on
the granite slabs the craven words
inscribed to perpetuate the memory
of loved ones long passed away. In
a distant corner l came to tiny lot
in which was single grave over
hung by weeping willow. The grave
was marked by single stone so COW
cred with moss an debris that the
lettering on it was almost undeciph-
cradle. Curiosity impelled me to an
investigation, and after much labor
with my hands and a piece Of board
l found nearby, the epitaph was re-
vealed. When I read it my labor was
rewarded. / understood why the
cemetery had been abandoned, and
why the nearby village, which had
once been a prosperous city, was now
so dilapidated; why grass grew in its
streets; why its great docks were
fallen in and decayed; its splendid
harbor abandoned to the sea-gull and
cant, and the windows, once respen-
the pelican; why its stores were va
dent with silks and laces, now the
habitat of the spider and the roach.
Here are the words that appeared
before my wondering gaze:

even those whom it served turned
their backs upon It in its hour of need.
It's mistakes were blazoned before

State Press Comment
"PastOr" Russell Dead

Charles T. Russell, minister who
succeeded in building up a large and
influential following throughout the
country, is dead. Known as Pastor"
Russell, his name had become a
household word and every community
of any consequence has its congrega-
ton or organization of Russellites,
calling themselves the international
Bible Students Association"
pastor" Russell's peculiar but in
teresting way of promulgating his
interpretations of the Scriptures, aid
ed by a most energetic and capable
press bureau, won to him many adj
herents. Tampa has long had a
large organization of the "Bible Stu
DENTS" The "Pastor" himself had
several times visited the city and de-
livered lectures to crowded houses.
He was man of pleasing address, of
undisputed ability, and was all but
worshipped by his sect. He was made
the target of many vigorous and
vindictive attacks, his private char
acter being repeatedly brought into
question, but these attacks evidently
had no effect upon the growth and
influence of his organization.
Newspapers in all parts of the coun-
try featured his weekly sermons for
years and the wide publicity, which
his Representatives were adept in OBJ
tanning, served to make him a ma
tional figure. It remains to be seer
if, lacking the dominant spirit, the
faith which he founded viii survive

PRICE OF HOGS.

That hogs should be bringing lower
price than six weeks ago is perfectly natu
raj. It is due to the immutable laws of
supply and demand, and was foreseen by
this paper early in October, discussing the
subject editorialiv.
Hogs which six weeks ago were bring
ing II cents, are now quoted at 900, down.
This is because of the tremendously in
creased shipments. Tn Louisville for in
stance, the supply received last week, %,
315, not only exceeded the receipts of the
week before by 1000 head but it was the
largest run for that period in more than
three years.
Similar figures could be compiled at the
other great packing centers as we'll.
Though packers could well afford to pay
twelve cents for hogs, it is obviously to
their interest to buy as low as possible,
and when shipments are heavy, they are
able to depress the market, though it is not
likely that they will be able to break it this
year, as they did in 1915 The hog season
lasts from October to, April. however, and
farmers would do we'll to be careful and
not ship into glut.
During the fiscal year ending June 30,
American packers sold for export $780,
100000 of goods; the demand is Just as
great now, probably greater, and the do
mestic consumption is increasing. Though
there is an increasing development of this
country in livestock, there is no danger of
an oversupply; but with shipments
doubling and trebling- especially as the
season advances. the packer may be able
to depreSS the market
Right here is where Florida has such
advantages over the rest of the country.
Florida corn natures before Illinois and
Iowa corn, and the Florida hog can there
fore be put on the market earlier. Nine
ten, or eleven cents for hogs, there's a
tremendous profit in the business, for it
only costs three cents pound to raise
them; but if our farmers get ready for the
early market, they will get all the way
from one to two dollars extra hog-ol
$3.50 to $500 car.

THE DRUG EVIL.

That the drug evil is being diminished
since the passage of the Harrison Act, but
that it IS still grave menace in the United
States, is indicated in a pamphlet entitled
The Narcotic Evil in Philadelphia and
Pennsylvania.
The pamphlet covers the rsults of
years study of opium, morphine, heroin,
and cocaine in the state mentioned; and
shows that because of inability to gel. the
drugs, IA drug fiends took the Reduction"
treatment in the state insane asy1ums the
year following the passage of the Harrison
Act; whereas there were only 33 the year
before its enactmnet About thousand
users applied for treatment of some kind
in Philadelphia. The secret users must be
many times that number in the state; and
sum total for the United States would be
truly staggering.
A loss of self respect, power, will, and
health follows the drug habit, which is
usually formed in youths to 30-the
productive time of a mans life. The per-
centage that acquire the habit as result
of drugs administered during illness is
small: the evil is therefore all the more
deadly that it is assumed voluntarily.
The Federal law is a revenue measure
and not a regulatory But the record of
sale and use of drugs, from the time they
are imported until they reach the consumer,
will make possible the enforcement of any
regulatory laws that may be enacted by the
states
Florida has such regulatory law; but
the national veal requires that such meas
ures be adopted by every state. for this is
the only means of stamping out the peril

NEARING THE END.

After two years OF llngual niceties, we
are free to confess that we expected nothing
new from the zone of war. The allusion
to retreat as a strategic retirement, and
defeat as a withdrawal to a more advan-
tageous terrain; the argument by which
both sides were able to prove-af1d we
must say, prove conclusively-a naval vic
tory; and Germanys naughty consent to
peace, il she dictated the terms, after a
particularly heavy according to all ap-
rhetoric that to expect more would be to
paint the lily and gid refined gold
But Major General Maurice, of the Lon
don war office, has wrought the miracle.
Referring to Won Hindenberg's statement
that the allies could never break through
the western front, the general says that
the recent drive on the Somme was never
intended to break through in the first place.
It's purpose was to relieve the pressure
ON Verdun and kill as many Germans as
possible" And adds: IT will not under
take to say whether it will take thirty
years to get the Germans out of France but
the allied strength is constantly growing,
and the German strength is constantly
declining"
In this he is of course correct but the
talk about the drive not being intended to
do the only thing that a drive is intended
to do, is either bunk, piffle, or poppycock
and sometimes we are inclined to believe
that it IS a little Of them ALL
But this does not mean that it was fail
ure. The Somme drive was the greatest
of the entire war, and gained the greatest
amount of ground over the greatest OBJ
stacles; and if it did not break through en-
tirely, it is simply because with determin-
ed and skilled opposition, employing allsthe
methods of modern science, such thing is
physically impossible.
Except for occasional outbursts, and the
usual wastage of life and ammunition, the
heavy battling, especially on the western
front, is over for the winter; and by the
time the spring campaign opens, Germany
will be re-entrenched as strongly as she
was a dozen or SO miles away before the
allies struck; requiring another series Of
drives; but if German resources are as low
as they are said to be, and if her ammu
milton is running short, her defeat will b,
none the less inevitable whether there i
any break-through and rush to Berlin O.
not. 1t will be due to economic causes
and the break will not occur at any on,
point, it will rather be simultaneous dis
integrating of the whole, outwardly a
