MEASURE A MAN BY HIS
ENEMIES

A subscriber to this paper contrib
utes the following:
We frequently hear folks lament
ing the fact that someone has be-
come their enemy because Of some
stand they have taken for the right.
There is q mistaken idea that the
test Of mans religion is keeping
the goodwill Of everyone. Now should
the above test be put to the lives of
Jesus and the apostles they would all
be found wanting"
Only those who never take posi-
tive stand succeed in not making enc
mics. You can almost measure man
by the enemies he makes as well as by
the company he keeps. One of our
friends once said he was going to be
as good to everyone as they would let
him be without sacrificing principle,
It Is a good resolution. It is always
honorable to make principle the chief
consideration in life.

Covered in Darkness

St. Cloud Tribune: We know that
it is the common belief that where it
is warm in winter it must necessari.
ly be exceedingly hot in summer, but
more erroneous idea never prevail
ed. A study of the winds will dis
close that during the summer months
it constantly blows from the East or
the West in this latitude, and as
Florida is bounded on the East By
the Atlantic ocean and on the West
by the Gulf of Mexico, and as wa
ter always tempers the wind to a de-
ightful GOODNESS, there is constantly
a breeze across this state, which is
not much over a hundred miles in
width in this portion.
We do not deny that it is hot in
the open here during the summer,
but in the shade it is always pleasant,
and the writer can positively state
that during the eight summers he has
spent in Osceola county he has never
slept single night without using
cover for comfort. Florida endures
none of that terrific heat found in
other states, and to bear out that
statement we have only to say that
there has never been a death of hu-
nan or beast in Florida from sun
stroke.

Warning Against Corrupt Practices.

Orlando eporter-Star: Governor
Trammell has sent notices to all the
sheriffs in Florida warning them to
keep a sharp lookout for violations Of
the corrupt practices act, which for
bids candidates from making promises
Of money, position or other considera-
ton of value in order to further their
candidates.. Under this law, cam
didatc fir congress cannot promise any
one his secrctaryship before the event
Of his election, nor can sheriff
promise his deputyship5 or clcrkship.
And the same rule applies to all can
didates. 1t is stern law and one
which will probably be violated many
times in minor instances and indirect
ways. The law is one which has a
good moral effect upon the whole,
though it is not likely that there will
be many prosecutions under its pro-
visions.

IT. S. Humphries, of Tallahassee,

farmers for about one hundred acres
of broom corn, and has declared that
