Further Discussion Declined

Life is too short to handy words
with the Jacksonville Free Press,
which is doing all it can, and do
ing it ably, to fomcnt hatred a.
mongst the Democrats of Florida.
1t denies that it is a newspaper
and its contents clearly show the
truth Of its denial. 1t is simply a
publication labOring solely for the
election of Mr.. Cats as governor
of Florida, and its efforts are
characterized by outrageous a
buse of VIM. V, Knott, his friends
and attorneys.
Nothing that The Herald might
say would stop the torrent Of Win
peration and infammatory utter.
ances with which the pages of the
Free Press are filled. This pa
per, therefore, declines to engage
in any further political discussion
with a paper which not only viii
fieS some of the best and most pa
triotic citizens of Florida, but in
sists that the people have a RICH
to disregard and override III
decisions of the highest court
of the state, which courts wer
created by the people thcmselve
to decide any disputes that nigh
arise between them.

The idea Of growing wool in South

surprising to The Herald, which
had never heard of it before,
though it knows and has known
for years that the sheep industry,
properly protected from dogs,
could be made as proftable-yes,
even more profitable in South Flor
ida than in any other part of the
United States. Good reasons can
be given for this assertion-plen-
ty of water and natural pastures,
mild climate. no cookie burs etc.

Arcadia News Of last Thursday:
Gin the case of one who goes fish

lake for a day of real rest from
the busy cares of life. He fishes
and as he sits, almost hypnotized,
watching the many-hued cork
bobbing up and down as the bait
ed hook is tickled from below,
he is at peace with the world. He
cares not for sordid gain; it mat
tiers not to him if corn is ten dol
lars a bushel, he is really resting
and enjoying himself. His children
like young fawns, are sporting IN
the water, gathering wild flowers,
or otherwise gathering joys from
the beauties of dame nature. The
wife is peacefully resting in the
cool shade, employing her mind in
reading, a thing that she has not
the time to do at home, even on
Sunday. Is this fellow criminal?
We can't agree that he is, in any
wise. He hasn't a "joy wagon"
in which to speed over the coun-
try-and many things happen as
result of these "joy wagon"
rides and he seeks the best way
at his command to get day of
rest, not intruding himself upon
the rights of others, harming no
one, but peacefully pursuing his
right to gather as much JOY as
possible out of the day Of rest,
and communing with the wonders
Of nature.

Some Florida History

In 1883, the present editor OF
The Herald was editing the Or
ange Leaf, little weekly news
paper published at Wildwood in
Sumter county. The political, &c
onomic and industrial imcompat-
Utility existing between the
southern and the northern and
western portions of Florida occur
red to him so forcibly that he adj
vocated the division of Florida IN
to two states, West Florida and
South Florida. His proposition
was to run the dividing line from
a point somewhere between Jack
sonville and st. Augustine to
Deadman's Bay just north OF Ce-
dar Key and to make Ocala the
capital of South Florida.
So strongly did he present his
ideas that Col. Thomas W. Harris,
now dead, started in Ocala a
newspaper called the New Capt.
tai, whose chief object was to sup
port Editor Jordan's views. This
resulted later in the capital
removal" campaign inaugurated
in Jacksonville by Robert Nc
Nance and Frank Clark, who won
the fight for the proposition to be
submitted to vote OF the peo-
pie. The capital would have been
removed but for the fact that too
many ambitious towns and cities
aspired for its new location, and
Tallahassee won over all other
contestants. The success of Tai
lahassee in the contest secured an
enlargement of the capital that
cost $4,000. Since then, ITALIA
hassee interests have been so busy
that several hundred thousand
dollars have been spent there IN
the erection of splendid colleges
and other state buildings, which
include the governors mansion
and the supreme court building.
Considering now the wide
spread sentiment in favor OF
state division, Tallahassee is fool
ish in opposing it, for there must
and surely will be either state dl-
vision or a removal of the capital.
The former will enable Tallahass-
ee to remain the capital of West
Florida and to retain all the ad-
vantages she has; the latter would
kill the town "as dead as Hec-
tor"
Since this editor advocated
state division in 1888, population
and transportation facilities have
so changed and increased that Or
lando is now the most convenient
place in which to locate the capt.
tal of South Florida; and if other
ambitious towns will not intrude
their unwise aspirations, the dl-
vision for which all South Florida
and most of West Florida are
clamoring may be accomplished.
West Florida would get the adj
vantage, for she has the State Re
form School, the Negro College
the Woman's College, the capitol
and other state official buildings
and the great convict farm at Raj
ford. West Floridians or ITALIA
hasseeans are therefore unwlse, Il
they oppose division.

Against One Cent Postage

The Herald is opposed to one
cent letter postage The country
does not need it. Retain the two
cent rate and avoid a deficit that
must be paid by some other tax.
If there is a surplus, apply it to
extensions and improvements, but
not to increase in salaries
Punta Gorda Herald.
The Herald might have said
"savp an addition to deficit that
must be paid by some other tax. "
OF course we have the large COM
mercial concerns that insist, and
with seeming reasonableness, that
magazines, newspapers, etc, should
pay the same postage as circular
advertising, and failing to put
through this scheme, contend that,
as there is to be a deficit, letter
mail should receive its pro rata of
the benefits.
The present postal rates are not
in force for commercial purposes,
and any argument based on
purely commercial basis, is erron-
eous. The special rates granted
newspapers, magazines, etc,
is for the purpose of encouraging
the average citizen to keep him
self well informed, and only by
this special rate can publications
be sent out at a price within the
reach of every one, even those in
the most mediocre circumstances.
These publications are not mere
purveyors of commercial schemes,
but are educators as well. To place
the postage for these periodicals
on a commercial basis, would be
to deny to the average citizen the
privilege to keep himself posted
on current events in all lines of
human endeavor.
Two cents is a very reasonable
price for which to send a letter to
the uttermost parts of Uncle
Sam s domains, and have it deliv-
cred to the very door of the adj
dressee The average man would
MT deliver one across town for
many times two cents. The Her
aid is right.-Arcadia News,
Discussing the above subject,

The Florida Advocate IS suggcs-
ton to increase The postage rates
on the great magazines, which are
carried in the mails at an enor-
nous loss to the government. The
Sun says:
"Not less than fifty bills have
been introduced into Congress this
session providing for the reduc-
ton of letter postage to ono cent.
There seems to be no real call for
such action. Two cents is certain
ly little enough to ask for the
transportation of a letter even
from one county to the next, let a
lone to all lengths and breadths oil
the country, and thence to the fan
, away shores of all our insular pos
sessions, and to far away Alaska
and also Canadian possessions.
cit is claimed that half the
postage now paid for letters il
tantamount to a tax. This cannot
be true so long as the income from
postage does not meet the expense
of the department.
But there can be no question az
to the fairness of the proposition
: to make the magazines and Sun

that the Bryan primary law and
Trammell corrupt practice act had

Imaginable fault but now the

the charge that these laws make
a robber out of the state of Flor
da, in that the candidates were
forced to pay into the treasury,
for fling fees and that ridiculous
campaign book, twice as much as
the expense, and that the law
makes no provision for the refund
of the .overcharge. AT every an

Tho Elor;Jo Christian Advocate

The Florida Christian Advocate
gives notice that, owing to the
greatly increased cost of every
thing necessary to the publication
of a newspaper, it feels constrain-
ed to suspend its exchange list and
also to drop the names of all who
have been getting the paper free.
No newspaper publisher will
blame the Advocate for adopting
this course, but The Herald for
one will greatly miss the Advo-
cate, which is one of the most ably
edited religious papers of the
country. No Methodist household
should be without it; in fact, any
one, whether Methodist or not,
would profit from reading it.

Butte Supports

BUTTE, June 20.-A new at
tendance record for league base
ball in Butte has been made this
season. The directors yesterday
figured up the total attendance
to date and found that for the Ia

series there had been an average
daily attendance of LOO.
This showing is most encourag-

ticipate that with warm weather,
something lacking in every series
to date, harmonious labor condi-
tions, and with Butte in the first
division, the attendance records
from now on will show a decided
increase.
