joice in cool, wet, cloudy weather.
Grass, wheat and all other grains are
getting strong thrifty roots which no
slight drouth will be likely to dry up
later in the season, and the bugs can
not come forward as they would in hot
sunshine. From the present outlook
Manitowoc County never had better
crop prospects than pow. We learn that
even one mile from the lake vegeta-
tion never looked better.

ANECDOTE or Tom CORWIN.-When
the late Tom Corwin was quite n young
man he was selected member of the
General Assembly Of the State of Ohio,
bill for the destruction of the public
whipping post. He made an earnest
speech IN favor eof the measure, to
which an elderly member replied as
follows; "Mr Speaker, the gentleman
is not as old as | am, and has not seen
as much OF the practical operation of
the system of punishment which he
desires TO abolish. When | lived in
Connecticut, if a fellow stole horse,
or cut up other antics, we used TO tie
him Gp and give him real good
thrashing, and he always cleared right
out, ana we never saw anything more
of him. It's the best way of getting
rid OF the rOgueS that ever was tried
and without expense to the State. !"
Mr.. Corwin who never failed to carry
his point by joke, if the argument
was against him, only made brief
reply: "Mr. Speaker, have been
puzzled to account for the vast emi.
grafton from Connecticut to the vest;
but the gentleman last up has explain
ed TO my satisfaction" 1t is almost
needless TO say that Mr.. Corwin's S bill
passed by an overwhelming majority.

There are numb3r Of young lads in
this city who should be taught les
son by the authorities seeing that their
parents are not disposed to do so.
There may be paternalism involved
but even the offensive flavor OF this
word should not be permitted to stand
in the way. Gardens are invaded by
these hoodlums and plants are destroy
ed wantonly. Shade trees are hacked
and goods are pilfered from stores
whenever opportunities are offered
In justice to tho lads who are engaged
in these practices the thing should be
stopped. Granted that 1t Is an inter-
ference with parental rights it is fully
justified by the circumstances.

To pass an ordinance over the mayor veto,

any grantee of any franchise granted by
the city Officials of the street railway,

the exception of free transportation to

With an evident intention of devising a
graft-proof scheme of government, it is
strange that the charter board did not adopt
the nepotism clause, which is one of the

the high officials should be prohibited from
putting their relatives on the public payroll,
regardless of their qualifications. This is
one of the scandals Of municipal govern
ment in other parts of the country, and for
Pensacola to adopt charter in which this

There are quite a few of these mail

State Division

A number of state papers are agi-
tating the question Of state division
want to make two states grow where
only one supreme, superb Florida
grew and prospered before. But those
editors do not write as if they ex-
pected to be taken seriously. And
they do not. What they really want
is more representation to go hand IN
hand with their excess taxation. Here
the News can agree with them. South
Florida is growing more rapidly than
north and west Florida, except in a
few particular sections. Time was
when things were different and north
and west Florida contained the ma
jority population, and south Florida
was a sparsely settled section of the
state. Tt was at that time that our
constitution was made and represen-
tation was allotted. South Florida now
has the people and the bulk of the
money and is making more rapid
strides The Yankee is there from
New York and New England in large
numbers and he wants improvements

Unfortunate Situation

The indications are that after a full
recount of the primary election re-
turns in various counties, and a
proper tabulation of the second choice
votes, that it will be proven that
Knott was the leading Democratic
nominee. The situation is a most I'M
fortunate one for the Democracy of
Florida, Under our primary system,
the state canvassing board dare not
go behind the face of the returns, so
were compelled to declare Cats the
nominee. Still any candidate who
was convinced that the returns were
not properly tabulated including sec
ond choice votes has the right under
this same primary law, to protest the
election and see to it that a proper
count is given all candidates This
is the position taken by Mr.. Knott,
which contention is upheld by the
highest tribunal in the state, the su-
preme court. And the chances are
that the returns, properly counted
will show that Knott is the Demo
cratic nominee. To say the least, il
is rather disagreeable political mud
die, which we trust win be satisfac-
torily settled by the voters on the

he is getting them. What Florida
needs is not division, but a getting
together on the proposition for a new
constitution that will give representa-

introduction of resolutions 4 and 5,
which kicked up such stir; next, he
got some more notoriety by Hopping

Pork-barreling is out of date-at'least in
Florida
Only the other day The Journal, in re-
terring to proposed navy yards, took the
stand that unless the navy experts favored
Pensacola as site-unless they thought
this point possessed strategic advantages,
our Chamber of Commerce and business
men should make no lobbying attempts
against the national treasury. We urged
that our Chamber of Commerce support
the claims of Charleston, if they were justi-
fed. AS events turned out, they were not
justified, and Senator Til1man withdrew his
support, saying he didn't care to be accused
of pork hunting. But that's another story
Almost at the same time The Journals
editorial was being written, the Jackson
vile I1meS-Union was endorsing Pensacola
heartily for. navy yard Among other
things, the Times-Union has this to say,
after enumerating the requirements of a
navy yard:
No port in the United States combines these ad-
vantages as completely as Pensacola. It has the
cheapest coal and iron of any port of the United
States, if not of the world. 1t is surrounded by
forests that would furnish ample timber sup
ply and labor could live better given wage in
Pensacola than in any northern seaport or live
we'll at slightly less. The expense for food would
be about great in city in another, but for
fuel and for clothing it increases goes
north
Pensacola is protected by islands from attack
by sea- 1t is nearer than any northern port to the
Panama Canal and the Caribbean Sea, where any
naval in which the United States might en-
gage would be fought. It could not be attacked
by surprise like any port of the Atlantic could be
for enemy could through Florida strait
or Yucatan channel without being observed

| For a paper of the Times Unions

disprove the assertions.
