PPoLlTics AND POLITICIANS

Ex-Secretary of State William Jen-
nings Bryan, having failed to be elect
ed regulate delegate to the ST. Louis
convention will go as newspaper
representative.
General De Castelnau, the famous
French commander, has five sons
fighting with the French army. When
the war began he had eight in the
service, but since then three of them
have been killed in action.
Congressman Randall of California,
was formerly a railway mail clerk
and is taking an active interest in the
legislation the clerks are trying to
have passed by Congress to grant
! them pensions.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, is
being pressed forward as the right
man for the permanent craftsmanship
of the Republican National conven-
ton. He has all the qualifications as
statesman, patriot and as scholar that
should be found in the man who
stands before that convention to in
terpret the party spirit and direct
the party vote.
"The Case for the Filipinos," is the
title of book soon to be published. 1t

eighty in the Philippines and makes
a plea for the independence of the
islands. The author, Maxim, NJ. Ka-
law. is secretary to Hon. Manuel l..

Philippines in Washington, who con-
tributes an introduction to the work.
The investigation now being held
in Canada into the alleged misdoing OF
the she'll committee appointed on
nomination Of Sir Sam Hughes at the
beginning of the war has developed
no serious scandal That there was
! some favoritism in the granting Of
contracts; that some of the concerns
have failed to live up to the terms o.
the orders placed with them; that GER
tain middle men have derived profits
, from their activities, are some of the
things that are being looked into.
The Republican National Commit
tees officials state that the demand
: for seats in the press section of mex
, months convention is tremendous
: probably greater than ever before
3 due to the uncertainty of the situa
ton and the promised interesting con
e test for the presidential nomination
There will be $50 seats. with desks
provided for working newspaper mel
: in the press section, which extends
: across the front of the convention
9 hall on either side. to the chairman'i

So far as we have been able to as
certain, not one dollar has been ex-
pended on repairs on those streets In
Lakeland which were constructed on
the bonding plan. They are perma-
nent and durable, and not make
shifts on which money was annually
wasted before the city bonded and
built something worth while. The
same condition will apply as regards
the county. Nothing but make-shift
roads, which will be a heavy and
constant expense to maintain, can be
built unless bonds are issued, for the
reason that in no other way can
enough money be gotten together to
build permanent roads. By bonding
the roads can be secured at once, and
the tremendous amount now practic-
ally wasted in upkeep will be saved

An article in the current number
of Golfers, by John Reed, recount
ing an interview with Bryan, which
took place on an oklawaha steamer
between. Palatka and Ocala, is re-
ceiving a deserved excoriation from
the Florida press. 1t seems tina. a
certain class of writers can never
let pass an opportunity to give vent
to sighting and misleading refer
ences to the people of the South, and
this fellow Reed went out of his way
to do this in this article referred to .
The people Of Florida would be fully
justified in refusing Golfers admis.
sion to their homes. 1t is always un-
Just and unfair to the South and fire.

Says the sage of the Ocala Ban
ner: Sectional hatred, race hatred,
religious hatred, are stumbling blocks
in our march heavenward And
they are hindrances to our material
progress, State and individual, be-
sides in many cases embittering our
lives, and setting friend against
friend and neighbor against neigh
Dor. Yet We find people masquerad-
ing in the garb of religion-some-
times In that Of patriotism-for the
purpose Of preaching the gospel Of
hate.

The best way to be a sovereign
and independent editor, immune from
peremptory kilograms which gall the
naughty spirit, is to own the paper
you edit. Even then you will be
surprised, if you are pretty smart, at
the number of things you don't say
in print that you feel like saying.

II the bonds carry, there is one
class of people that is going to be
very much embarrassed. That's the
kind who want little help because
they can't find anything to do. If
you want to injure these poor people
by making it impossible to use this
story, vote for the bonds.

The next legislature ought to re-
peal, or at least largely modify, the
Trammell Corrupt Practices law.
There are several provisions which
serve no good purpose, which hamper
the candidate in the proper presen-

tend to muzzle the newspapers.

The visit of the State candidates
brought the first flicker of political
interest that has been manifested in
this rather colorless campaign. One
cause for this attitude of indifference
on the part OF the people of Polk is
because the good roads bond cleo
tion is overshadowing the primary.

Americans Like Noise.

OF all things which Americans de-
test, quiet comes first. Take as q
proof this matter Of pianos and talk
ing machines.
Every wOrkday there now comes
from American factories IN even 1000
pianos and about $500 talking ma
chimes. You will notice that the piano
has not been entirely silenced by me-
chanical music.
Indeed, the value of pianos made
daily In u country is three and one
half times Is great as the value of
monographs, but the number of pia-
