States Biggest Fur Market

A. j. Kinsel wishes to make
Punta Gorda the biggest market
in Florida for furs, and, for sew.
eral years, he has been working
to this end. Thus far, he has
made very satisfactory progress,
for, last season, he bought $4,000
worth of furs and this season he
has laid his plans to buy $4,000
worth. With this object in view,
he is paying the highest cash
prices and doing everything else
to encourage trappers and hunt
ers to get busy and bring in a
larger quantity than ever before.
He has bought big stock, one
hundred dozen, of Blake and
Lamp and of Triumph traps and
will sell them at specially low
prices to all who will engage to
bring him the furs they secure.
If everybody will cooperate
with Kinsel, he will put Punta
Gorda on the map as Florida s
chief market for furs. The sea-
son will open two weeks from
now.

The horrible conditions at the
Boys Reform School at Marian
ma are due in large measure to
the criminal political bargaining
Of legislators, by which state in
situations were scattered all about
the state. Every one of them,
State University, Woman's Col
lege, insane asylum and all, should
be located at the capital so as to
be under the daily surveillance of
the state officials, who should be
held strictly accountable for any
abuses or scandals occurring in
them. Grouping them together in
one county would also save the ex-
pense of visits by state officials
and committees of the legislature.
But, as long as we have a legisla-
ture, there will be deviltry in the
land, Abolish the legislature!

Preferred Florida to Arkansas

Walter A. Kaler, foreman and
indispensable factotum of The
Herald office, received on Friday
a telegram offering him an edi-
torial position in Pine Bluff, Ark,
at a salary fifty per cent larger
than The Herald is paying him.
I'VE were afraid that he would
accept the offer, for the business
done by this paper is not enough
to enable us to pay him as much
as he was offered to go to Arkan-
sas. We were, therefore, much
pleased when he declined the of
fer, which he did on the ground
that the climate, opportunities
and advantages of this section OF
Florida were more than enough to
make up for difference between
what he is getting here and what
he was offered in Arkansas. Be-
sides this, he has a valuable farm
in the southern part of this coun-
ty, on which he expects to spend
his old age in "otium cum digni-
tate. -
Mr.. Kaler has had many years
experience in all lines of newspa-
per work and he is a valuable
man to have in any printing Office.

$4,000 cash, thus, in less than six
months, making a net profit of

A Newspaper Victory

Well, there is at least one news
paper in Florida that has some in
fuence and that one is the Ocala
Star. 1t fought the ten-mill
school tax amendment and, at the
same time, published many col
umns of matter from County Su-
perintendent Crimson and other
advocates of the measure, who
presented every argument in fav-
or of it. When the votes were
counted, it was found that Mar
ion county had gone more than
two to one against the proposed
amendment. Editor Benjamin Of
the Star, advocated the adoption
of the prohibition amendment and
of compulsory cattle-dipping, and
both these propositions carried by
good majorities, The large adj
verse vote of Marion county on
the school-tax amendment was I'M
doubtedly due to Editor Benja-
minis influence as well as to his
logic, for the people of that coun-
| ty have confidence in him, know
ing him to be thoroughly honest,
conscientious and patriotic. And
they have a similar regard for
Superintendent Brinson, who is d
fine gentleman and splendid Off
cial, and the fact that the efforts
of such popular man were de
feated by Editor Benjamin, adds
lustre to the latter's victory. The
Herald cordially congratulates
him.
Yes, the Tampa Tribune is an
other paper that has some politi-
cal influence, as it ought to have.

ture, which is responsible for most
of the political evils with which
the state is afflicted.
