an eye to the fitness of things, has
suggested the Hon. j. n. Whitner
of Sanford as the Every man for
Commissioner of Agriculture. "
Now let the nominations close
Whitner is the very man for the
place. Put the Palatka News

once said it would take a strong
man to beat McRae; not a giant,
mind you, but just an ordinary

in politics. Bring him out; he's

Herewith, sincere apologies to
that admirable paper, the Lake
land Telegram, which complains
that The Herald deliberately"
overlooked the Telegram s Christ
mas edition, which treatment it
did not expect from such a loyal
friend as The Herald. The ex-
planation is simple: the Tele-
grams mailing machine skipped
The Herald and its Christmas edi-
ton did not reach this office, a
fact greatly regretted by this pa
per. But, without seeing it, we
know that that Christmas edi-
ton was something to be proud
of, for every edition of the Tele-
gram is a credit not only to its
publishers, but to Lakeland and
the entire state. Every copy of
the Telegram coming to this Of
flee is deliberately overlooked, "
which means read with care,
pleasure and profit.

1t is suspected that some cum
ming Republican leaders, having
the design to defeat the Demo
cratic party in this years cleo
ton, have instigated and promot,
ed the organization of the secret
society which is fighting the al
legged political activities of the
Catholic church. Leaders in the
society are attacking President
Wilson and denouncing the Dem
ocratic party as rotten,' a fact
that gives color to the suspicion,

The Florida supreme court has
decided that the oyster is a fish.
On a review of the decision, The

the court has never affirmed the

but a bird, because it has a giz-
zard.

Gilchrist is the only candidate
who owns the skin of a white
coon. Now, ye wags, it's not
Gilchrist's own bodily skin, but a
white skin that was stripped from

a sort of an amulet or not, we
hope it will bring him even great
er luck than his three monkeys
did.

Political Advertising

The rates for announce
ments to county office in The
Record will be as follows:
One inch, six-point type
twelve lines), from now to
the date of the primary, will
be $500. Over twelve lines
and not exceeding twenty
four lines, viii cost $40. And
this proportion will hold good
for additional space.
Communications endorsing
candidates will be published
at ten cents per line; and
under the law must be mark
ed "Paid Advertisement. "
This is the law, and we shall
adhere strictly to italia
hassee Record.
The above rates are nearly the
same as those decided upon by
the DeSoto County Press Assicia-
ton last week. The decision was
to charge $1,000 for all announce
ments of candidates, state or
county, provided such announce
ments do not contain over $50
words. For all over $50, a pro-
portionate charge will be made
and all announcements must be
paid for strictly in advance.
The rate adopted was based up
on the following facts and con
Siderations:
First, the fact that the cost of
all printing materials and equip
ment, including labor, has more
than doubled during the past
twelve or fifteen years, and the
progress and development of the
state have necessitated greatly
investment in up-to-
date and costly printing machin-
cry;
Second, during this period of
increase in investment and in OPP
Grating cost of newspaper print
ing offices, the public business has
to that extent that vir-
tually all county officers are now
receiving more than double the
emoluments which they received
twelve years ago and are, there
fore, well able to pay the rates
named above; and, at the same
time, the salaries of all other pub
lie officials, including congress
men, state officers, supreme and
circuit judges and minor officers
have been largely increased.
The above considerations GER
tainly justify the $1,000 rate, es-
pecially as it is really less than
that fixed by law for legal adver-
tisements and is also, in many
cases, less than the regular rate
for commercial advertising.
Finally, after the primaries are
over all cards Of thanks by candi-
dates, whether elected or defeat
ed, must be paid for at the rate
Of ten cents a line.

That Secret Political Society

An esteemed friend objects to
The Herald's calling a secret po-
litical organization "the anti
Catholic society" He says that
the term conveys the idea that the
society is opposed to the Catholic
church per Sc, to its religion as
well as its alleged political do
ings; whereas, the society is fight
ing, not the religious, but the po-
litical teachings and doings of the
Catholic church.
The Herald, of course, under
stood that. 1t used the designa-
tion anti-Catholic society" sole
ly because of its brevity; other
wise, it would have had to refer
to the organization as "the secret
order which is fighting the alleg-
ed participation in politics of the
Catholic church. " That would
take too much time to write and
too much space to print, espec-
tally as it would have to be used
very often in the body of an edi-
torial. Our friend suggests the
use of "Anti-Papal Society" as a
better appellation. If that is the
name of the society, we are per-
fectly willing to use it, but we
understood that the name is Sc
cret.
In the editorial of last week,
The Herald did not attack or re-
feet upon the society or upon
any church, and it does not in
tend to admit to it's columns any
such attack. Its sole object is to
demonstrate with the members of
the society for selecting as their
candidate for governor a man
who is regarded by many patriot
ic citizens and by some of the alb
lest writers of the state as a polit-
ical incendiary. The society ap-
pears to have united upon him
solely because of his open and
out-spoken hostility to the alleg-
ed political schemes of the Cath
olic church; whereas, if there
were no such issue, the public
declarations of this man on other
subjects are revolutionary, anar-
chistic, and prove that he is not
the right man for governor of
Florida.
Amongst other things, he pro-
poses to disregard some of the
laws of the state, override them
and exercise his own individual
will in governing the state.
Specifically, he has declared that,
if elected governor and the legis-
lature will not enact his views in
to law. he will order out the mill
tia and destroy the states fish pa
troll boat and by force invade and
search churches, sanctuaries,
schools and other institutions
which he may suspect of some
dark designs or practices.
And the society does not know
this man S record, but the records
of the other candidates for gov
ernor, all of whom are Protes-
tant, are well known to nearly
all the people of the state and
prove them to be men of the loft
lest character, eminently fit for
the position of governor, men
who can be safely trusted with
that high Office and will admins
ter it in the interests of peace,
harmony, progress and every
thing that will contribute to the

MOSCOW. May 1.-The large Rus
sian papers are filled daily with long
reports of the growing misery of the
masses and bitter protests against the
inefficiency and indifference of the au,

ment are led by the "Russkoje Slovo"

1.-The authorities know that a large
part OF our population is starving, but
they make no effort to combat the
terrible misery. Their one thought is
the welfare of the upper classes.
While the working men and their
families can obtain not even a pound
OF meat In weeks the officials always
see to 1t that the dogs of our aristo.
Gratis and money kings do not have to
go without their accustomed roast and
beef tea.
Tens OF thousands of our citizens
suffer fearfully, but still greater is the
misery Of our helpless babies, whose
cries tear the hearts OF their mothers.
Milk is very scarce and dear and the
small quantities obtainable are adult
Grated in shameless manner by the
farmers and dealers.
Even the children of the rich suffer
from these conditions. The adulterat.
ed milk kills them as it kills the babies
OF the poor and their parents cannot
get wet nurses for them.
Infant mortality increases incredib-
ly. More than eighty-five per cent. of
the children of the tens of thousands
Of fugitives who were brought to Mos
cow have died. NANNY of them have
literally starved to death. while other
thousands were killed by epidemics.
