lUNKERS PLAN TO
SACRIFICE KAISER

LONDON, Nov. 3.-The Pail Nall
Gazette. drawing attention to the
industrious efforts of the berlin Vor-
waerts to impress upon outsiders
the reality OF a political transforma-
ton in Germany, points out that the
plan" for the moment is evidently
to save the imperialist system by
throwing over the present Emperor.
The Gazette continues:
what will the Kaiser do? When
will he do it?'
These are the questions which, &C
cording to the Norwaerts, are now
agitating the German people.
1t adds that the very form of the
questions shows how far Germany is
from a real incubation with the
spirit of liberty and self-govern-
ment.
1t declares the question, what
win the German people do?" Is the
question by which their character
will be tested by the civilized world.
at will be for them to determine"
says the Gazette, "the order OF events
II they are really sick OF the foul
thing by which they have been poi
soned and perverted.
"A nation with the soul of free
dom alive in II would throw out the
brutal egotist who sits at Potsdam
for itself, instead of waiting for his
gracious withdrawal
The whole political situation in
Germany smacks OF stage manage
ment and gives no evidence OF a real
popular approach to 'selfdetermina-
uon.'"

take this method Of saying, that
| am heartily in favor of the
building of the bridge between

chairman of the Board of County
commissioners. The law makes
1t necessary that all such con-
tracts as the one for the building
OF this bridge be signed by the
chairman of the Board of County
commissioners. Accordingly, the
contract for this bridge was pre-
scented to me for my signature as
chairman of the board and, upon
examination Of the contract as
presented to me, | found that the
entire supervision of the bridge
was to be left altogether with the
engineer according to the con-
tract as it was drawn. Thus the
contractor who was to build the
bridge was answerable only to
an engineer employed by the
county and who was under a con-
tract OF employment with the
county and could not be removed
at will by the County Commits
sioners except on full pay. But, |
as stated, the contract as drawn
took the supervision of the bridge
away from the Board or any mem
Der Of the Board and gave it to an
engineer of the county. Where

PUNTA GORDA FORTUNATE
No Epidemic Here and No Deaths

The few cases of influenza that
occurred here week before last
have nearly all recovered and no
new cases have been reported All
OF them had their source in other
towns, wherein Punta Gorda peo-
pie were working and, on being
taken sick, came home to get well.
And all OF the original eases ex-
cept one are well.
The one exception is Mrs. J. P
Murphy, formerly Miss Maude
Cochran, who was taken i'll in
Tampa about two weeks ago and
came over here to be looked after
by her mother and sister. Her
case developed into pneumonia
and, OF course, was for time seri-
GUS, but this week she is progress
sing towards recovery. Having
every needed attention from kin
dred and skilled physicians, there
IS no doubt Of her getting well in
due course.
There is no other case of pneu-
MONA in town and, from what we
can learn, there are not as MANY
as half a dozen cases of genuine
influenza here, and what cases ex-
St are OF very light character.
