A Wise Appointment
St. Augustine Record: The ap-
pointment by Oscar T. Conklin, presi-
dent of the Florida Press Association,
Of Gilbert D. Leach, editor of the
Leesburg Commercial, to the new po-
sition of corresponding secretary of
the state press organization, is one
that will meet with the universal ap-
proval Of the newspaper fraternity
throughout the state. The office was
designed and created for the purpose
of affording the publishers of the
state sort of clearing house for in
formation. 1t is proposed to estab-
lish on permanent record advertising
rates and circulation statements of all
the papers of Florida, so that there
may be better understanding of the
conditions with regard to this very
important industry, to the end that
the welfare of those engaged in news
paper enterprises may be advanced
and benefited. If Gilbert Leach can
be induced to accept this appointment,
it will mean a new era in the prosper
ity of the members of the fourth es-
tate" in Florida.

Comforting Assurances

Lakeland telegram: A Presbyter-
ian minister over at St. Petersburg
preached his farewell sermon the 9TH
er day, in the course of which he took
occasion to tell his congregation that
some of it's members are on the road
to hell. Some editors doubtless have
felt the temptation to tell their read
ing audience what they think of some
of them, but it is only in farewell
issue or a farewell sermon that one
can afford to indulge his feelings in
this way.

BONDED WAREHOUSE
FOR PALATkA.

James r. Murphy, President of the
Florida Farms & Homes, Inc, IS
greatly interested in securing for Pa
latka a bonded warehouse which will
afford the farmers of the Palatka dis
trict a ready cash market for all their
staple farm products including live
stock as we'll as corn, hay, peanuts,
peas, beans, etc.
Palatka by reason of its being a
basic point for freight rates enjoys
unusual advantages as location for
bonded warehouse which would make
this city the collecting and distribu-
ting point for great part OF st.
Johns. Marion, Volusia and Clay coun-
ties as we'll as Putnam and would add
materially to the volume of business
and the banking deposits of Palatka.
Through Mr.. Murphy's efforts the
Southern Railway and the Atlantic
Coast Line are taking an active inter-
est in the matter and last Monday NJ.
P. Walsh, as Mr.. Murphy's represent
ative had conference in Gainesville
with Williamson & Dennis and H. K.
Buckley of the industrial department
of the Southern Railway in which the
advantages of Palatka for bonded
warehouse were thoroughly discussed.
Mr.. Williamson said he was very
glad to learn that the Palatka Board
of Trade had taken the initiative in
the matter and was interesting the
farmers in the movement.
As an illustration of what bonded
warehouse means to a farming COM
munity Mr.. Williamson gave his visl-
tors a copy of circular letter he Is
sending out broadcast guaranteeing
the farmers minimum cash price for
their products and at the same time
leaving them free to get the best mar
ket price when they desire to sell. If
a sufficient volume of staple crops
will be raised in the territory trlbu-
tary to Palatka this summer, William
son & Dennis will establish ware
house here in September and purchase
all staples offered at the following
minimum cash prices, or better If the
market warrants it:
PEANUTS, Valencia Spanish, per.
bu. of 25 lbs, plant up to July 15th.)
S1.00.
White Spanish, per. bu. of % lbs,
(Plant up to July 15th.) rs.
Florida Runner, per. bu. of % Tbs,
(Plast up to June 1st.) AS.
VELVET BEANS, any variety, in
the hull, per. 100 lbs, 80.
BLACK EYED PEAS, california;
per bu. of co. lbs, $500.
CORN, Slip shuked. "a lbs. to bbl.
up to Dec. 1st., after Dec. 1st 81 lbs.
to bbl., per. bbl., so.
See US for contract and samples of
quality. We will also continue to buy
all other staple crops as we'll as hogs
and cattle.
IF YOU WANT MONEY and do
not want to sell at the above prices
or any better prices that may be Of
fered at harvesting time, you may
store the above crops, or any other
STAPLE CROP, in our Warehouse
ard borrow money up to rs per cent Of
their value at per cent ANNUAL in
tereSt, (this means one half of one
per cent a month"; and hold crops for
higher prices.

National Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People, l feel
it my duty to request space in the
columns of your valuable paper in
which to make public the fact that it
was this same w. L. Harding, who,
when member of the lower house
Of our state legislature in the spring
Of 1909 introduced what is commonly
known as the Harding bil!," but Of
ficially as house file No. 1856 of the
S3rd general assembly, which, had it
passed, would have put out of bust
ness every Negro secret society in
Iowa using the same name or SIM
liar name or emblem with any such
society Of white people and would
have included all Negro Masons,
chapters of o. E. S., Odd Fellows,
Pythians end Elks, and that it was
only through the timely action Of Mr..
R. H. Hyde, prominent Elk; Rev.
B. s. Erwin, prominent Odd Fellow,
and Rev. A. Ford, Attorney s. Joe
Brown, and other prominent men,
bers Of the Masonic fraternity that
this pernicious bill was killed in the
committee room.
This is fact that is noted by Hon.
w. H. Milligan, then grand master
Of Iowa Negro Masons, in his annual
address to the Masonic grand lodge
at Keokuk in July, 1909, which ad-
dress will be found on page is Of the
proceedings Of 1909 of the Most Wor-
shipful United Grand Lodge of Iowa,
A. F. and A. M.
Hence, while I have no malice
against Lieutenant Governor Hard
ing, but I believe that a candidate
is justified in asking for the votes of
the people upon the record Of his
past conduct, rather than upon
promises for the future.
For the above reasons would rec
ommend Senator Joseph H. Allen as
the most available candidate for the
nomination for governor.
In order that the Negroes Of the
state may determine on the basis Of
record, past service and merit Of the
candidate which they should choose
to support for governor, ask that you
give space to the foregoing plain
statement of facts, that the Negro
voters of Iowa may become better
acquainted with Mr.. Harding's legis-
lative record with reference to better
enable them to decide whether they
want to support him for the office
of chief executive of the state.
Remember the constitution Of the
country in which we live guarantees
to its citizens "Life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness" Yours truly.

SUFFRAGE ELECTION NOTES.
A great opportunity contronts the
voters of Iowa on June S. On that
day all the women of Iowa are look
ing to all the men of Iowa to vots
Eyes" on the suffrage amendment so
that their wives, mothers and sisters
may have a voice in the making Of
those laws that govern the home
and the environment of the growing
children.
When Moses was distracted with
doubt and fear God asked him,
"What is that in thy hand?" So
the mothers Of the land cry out, rs
there some weapon near at hand for
me which I can seize to safeguard
all children, my own included? Is
there weapon for the hand Of
every mother? What but the ballot
can do these things which I would
do for the safeguarding of my home
and family" e
At the close of great suffrage
meeting one Of the leaders in prayer
said, e pray fur ss1s an q
praying woman and I ask this gift
from Thee. I read, why criest
thou unto me? Speak to the chill
dren Of Israel that they go for
ward And does not that mean
that we must move ahead ourselves
and thus get the BALLOT; that we
must work for what we need instead
of lazily praying to have blessings
dropped into our effortless hands !?
We must work out our own saliva
ton. We mothers must work and
vote as well as pray"
Now for fifty years the united
womanhood Of Iowa has been work.
ing as we'll as praying for the ball
lot for all the women Of Iowa, and
in the hands of the voters of Iowa is
placed the responsibility Of giving
the answer to this earnest appeal on
June 5. 5
Abraham Lincoln, the great lead
er, said, II go for all sharing the
privileges of the government who
assist in bearing its burdens-by no
means excluding women"
Twelve states now enjoy equal
suffrage and in no state, not even in
Wyoming, where it has been tried
for forty seven years, has equal suf-
frage been pronounced failure. No
homes have been ruined, no children
have been neglected and no harmful
laws have been championed by the
women. The women have not sought
office, rather have they given their
efforts to electing the best man for
the Office.
