1t is blessing to the state of Flor
ida that the governor has not larg-
er family than he has, for then office
holders would be justified in feeling
shaky of their jobs. Perhaps the gov
ernor was justified in his removal
from office of Tax Collector Rast of
Duval county, but the appointment of
his 1.-THE governor's) son-in-law to fill
the vacancy, can hardly be looked
upon by fair-minded people, as in
keeping with the dignity of an official
holding the office which Mr.. Cats
does. 1t smells too strongly of nepot-
ism.-Orlando Reporter-Star

HIS COUNTRY HONORS HIM

Mr.. and Mrs. George MacKay have
received from the War Department
the commissions to which their brave
son, George Lewis MacKay, who fell
fighting for his country in France
some time ago, was entitled. Young
George was in line for increased pro-
motion, the department knew the
commissions would have been his had
he lived. so they will send them to
his parents, that they may keep them
among their dearest treasures. The
commissions are dated as follows:
George Louis MacKay, July 9th,
second lieutenant's commission. Au-
gust 29th, first lieutenant's commits
sion."
1t is in pride as well as sadness
that Mr.. and Mrs. MacKay receive
this testimony to the merit of their
brave boy and the appreciation of his
grateful country.

Thanks for the compliment, Brother
Russell, but Mr.. Goldman advertised

however, he would have been elected
anyhow. A large majority of the
people knew he was by far the best
of the three candidates.

The battle of st. Mihiel is an Am
erican victory. The st. Mihiel salient
has been a thorn in the French side
for four years. The French have
never felt like they could spare the
troops needed to fiatten it back into
the German line. The Americans fur
nished the men needed. The French
engaged the enemy at ST. Mihiel, the
point of the salient, and the Ameri-
cans attacked on both sides, having
plenty of men to spare to prevent a
counter offensive on either flank
Judging by the rapidity of the adj
vance, the French and Americans
seem to have run right over the Ger
man trenches, drove across the neck
of the salient and then crushed in the
sides. 1t wasn't as big a battle as the
Marine, nor some of the other fights
this summer, but it was a great bat
tie, nevertheless, and will cause Allied
stock to go up and Hun stock to go
down.
