ed for governor of Florida three
years hence Edwin is worthy OF any

the military quotas assigned to the
northern as compared with the south

population estimates for 1917 appear
ing in the World Almanac. They show
that quotas range from $50 per TO-
900 for Connecticut, to 81 per 10000
for Mississippi. The mean quota for
II southern states is 81, while the
mean for u nothern states is 1870. In
other words there is an excess levy
on the north over the south of 23.S
per cent. Such figures are very start

difficult to believe that the 1917 pop

The republican party has no right
to censure the democratic party for
the misdeeds of William Tweed On
the contrary, the democratic party de-
serves a vast deal of praise for arrest

The efforts of Mr. Bristow proved

his crimes. A part of this confession
is already known and notwithstanding
the fact that for the past ten years it
has been the principal business of re-
publican newspapers and republican
stump orators all over the land to
hurl as big bolts of thunder as they
were able over the soulders of Tweed
into the democratic camp, this con-
fession falls as heavily upon the
heads of certain republican senators
as it does upon any member of the
democratic party At any rate. his
confession has created a terrible fiut-
ter among the faithful cohorts of that
party. In word, Tweed's confession
ends the occupation Of that party and
his departure from the arena of poll
ties deprives them of the only shell
ter to their sins.
