W. ]. Hill is not supposed to
know anything about sweet pota-
toes, but in tilling some of his
ground yesterday he dug up two
potatoes that combined in the
enormous weight of 80 pounds.
These are some sweet potatoes,
and Mr.. Hill brought them to
the Herald office, where they are
on exhibition for the delecta-
ton of strangers who have heard
that you can't raise anything in
Florida.-Sanford Herald. Now
let US hear from W. A. Russell,
Of the Palatka News, about that
5OO-pound sweet potato raised
ut Crescent City.-Tallahassee
Record.
1t wasn't sweet potato; it was a
South American yam, raised by the
late Judge ]. L. Burton of Crescent
City the seed of which he personally
brought from Cuba. This yam was
dug out of the ground in Judge Bur-
tons yard and was weighed in the
presence of Hon. James r. Howe,
member of Congress from New York.
ga the editor of The Palatka News,
This yam weighed 1873 pounds-and it
didn't seem to be a very good year
for vans, either.

Tampa's Spirit of Unity

Tampa Times: The spirit of unity
tolerance and brotherliness that char.
acterizes Tampans was clearly shown
at Thursday nights meeting at the
Centre Asturiano club house, called
for the purpose of raising funds for
the war-stricken Jews of Poland, in
response to Presidents Wilson's re-
quest, and every word spoken was
one of inspiration. In that meeting
the people knew no Jew or Gentle,
Protestant or Catholic-they looked
upon no man as other than a son of
God; and the generous response made
to the call for aid proved that Tam
pans are always anxious to apply the
healing balm of love to the suffering
hearts of all nations and races. The
demonstration increases our apprecia,.
ton of the fact that we are Tampans.

REASONING
WITHOUT LOGIC.

Here is one of William Jenning!
Bryan's terse arguments in his prop
uganda for peace:
The Washington Post, quoting ar
argument made in favor of prepared.
ness, says that the following sentenc-
es sum up "The whole moral argu-
ment for preparedness"
Here are the two sentences so high
ly recommended $50 long as right
and wrong exist in the world, there
will be an inevitable conflict between
them. The right doors must be pre-
pared to protect and defend the right
as against the wrong" The conclu-
sion which the Post draws from the
language is not a necessary conclu-
sion. 1t is simply an opinion: and it
does not prove that the contest be-
tween right and wrong must be fought
out by physical force. There was
time when differences between indi-
viduals were fought out, but now they
are settled by courts; it is not now ne
cessary that each individual shall go
about armed and prepared to protect
and defend the right as against the
wrong. Every step in human pro-
yress is a step away from contests
ought on the brute level. Why, then.
should anyone believe that war and
for war must go on for
vcr?
1t is true, as the Post says, that
he claims to Universal Brotherhood
re not everywhere recognized; that
II racial prejudices are not abolish
d; that self-control can not be re-
'arded as absolute. But the world
as made progress toward peaceful
ettlements, and our country has led
n the peace propaganda. There is
very reason, therefore, why this ma
ion should not abandon its ideals and
urn back to slaughter house methods. &

Give EN- Good Scare, ANYWAY

Gainesville Sun: No doubt very
many are disappointed at the outcome
OF the trial of the directors of the
New Haven road. That the majority
OF the men were acquitted and that
the jury disagreed over the others
seems at first glance miscarriage
OF justice. But there are some
crumbs OF comfort in that it is most
likely that that very disagreement will
act as deterrant to others who NAV
have the disposition to plumber other
shareholders, but who will now fear
the law. 1t is something gained that
men of the standing and influence of
William Rockefeller did not pet off
scott free. The fact that the iurv
disagreed in their case at least puts
them under cloud. ~

MR.. CATS ELIGIBILITY.

The News has no objection to Nh
Sidney j. Cats becoming a candidat
in the democratic primary, provide,
he is democrat and can qualify I'm
der the law as such candidate.
Mr.. Cats may hold peculiar views
he may be demagogue; he may seel
to stir up political prejudices and play
upon the chords of religious preju-
dice; that is his privilege. 1t has been
the privilege of others before his time
and will continue the privilege of 9TH
ers who are to follow.
If he is white, is registered as a
democrat, will agree to support the
nominees of the party primary, and,
in case of his nomination, is qualified
under the constitution to hold the Of
flee, he has the same rights as other
democrats-no more and no less.
But it is on this latter requirement
that Mr.. Cats will fail, if fail he
does, and not because of any peculiar
views he may hold concerning the
"Holy Roman Empire" the infallibil-
ity of the Pope, baptism of infants,
predestination, or celibacy of the
priesthood.
On this one point of Mr.. Cats ELI
gibility to hold the office of Governor,
the Pensacola News offers the fol-
lowing:
In view of the length of his
residence in the state and the con-
stitutional requirement as to ELI
gibility for the office, there is
much doubt as to whether Mr..
Sidney j. Cats of DeFuniak
Springs, could legally hold the
office of governor of Florida if he
should be elected. The News is
not taking issue on the question,
but has investigated the matter
and is of the opinion that tie peo-
pie Of the state are entitled to the
information gathered.
People of DeFuniak Springs
say that Rev. Cats came to Flor
ida direct from Alabama. where
he was born and reared, in June,
1911, and moved his family to the
state in September, 1911. The
constitution requires that a man
to be eligible to hold the office of
governor must have been a citi-
zen and resident of the state for
five years before the time of his
election. Whether or not Mr..
Cats became a citizen of Florida
as soon as he could do so legally
is not known. However, as one
must reside in the state for one
year before political citizenship
can be established. Mr.. Cats
would not be eligible for the Of 4
flee of Governor until June, 1917.
even though he became a quail
fled elector of Florida as soon as c
possible. n
John S. Beard of Pensacola. !,
whose thorough knowledge of |,
constitutional law is we'll recog- II
nized in Florida, is of the opin-
ion that one must have resided
in the state, with intent of becom- h
ing citizen. six wears from the H
time he took up. such residence 8
to be eligible to the povernorship. =,

regard to any candidate for gov y
ernor and merely gave his opin- h;
ion in answer to a hypothetical D:
question. :.
