"AH, THERE, FLoRIpA!"

Senator Duncan U. Fletcher Of
Florida is going to have opposition.
Two candidates for his seat in the
Senate have already announced, Gov.
ernor Cats being one Of them.
Senator Fletcher has more than
made good" at Washington, and 10
today one of the strongest men the
South has in the Senate. 1t would be
a great mistake for Florida to retire
as able and experienced a senator as
he is today. The best man the peo-
pie of the State might elect could not
hope to reach within the next ton
years the position Of usefulness and
influence which Senator Fletcher has

The Tampa Tribune, which has
been loyal to Cats through evil and
good report, and which, we believe,
has been the best and most influen-
tial friend the Governor has had, has
come to the parting of the ways az
ter hearing his harangue in Tampa
Tuesday night. The Tribune, like
many others, has been charitable to
the Chief Executive, out of respect
for the office he holds; but, like 9TH
ers, who see that his chief weapon is
prejudice, that his lack of veracity
has become jest and by-word ev-
erywhere, and that he has all the
gross faults and none of the graces
of the INSCRIPTIONS politician, it is
forced to admit that the feet of its
idol is of clay, and of the commonest
clay at that. The Tribune's editor.
ial on the matter today is temperate
and dignified, but 1t would get under
the skin Of almost any man except
Sidney J. Cats.

The Chamber OF Commerce is the
only agency that for many years
did anything towards advertising this
city and boosting it. 1t was due to
its efforts that scores of substantial
settlers and investor have been
brought to the community, and that
the town for the past several seasons
has been filled with tourists, tc say
nothing of many other progressive
movements. 1t should be upheld and
encouraged by every citizen, for it
further's every citizens interests.

SUGGESTIONS FOR "A
SOUND SOLUTION OF THE
RAILROAD PROBLEM"

is essentially national, should be res
cued from the irresponsible and the
conflicting state agencies, and be
brought under uniform control and
regulation in the national interest,
except as to strictly local matters.
without government ownership or
operation, the only reliance for rail-
road revenue to support railroad
credit must be upon the adoption by
Congress of a sound railroad policy
involving justice to railroad capital
and requiring specifically and plainly
that the rates to be fixed (shall be
sufficient to enable carriers to pro-
vide safe and adequate service, to
protect existing values and to attract
the new capital necessary in the pub
lie interest"
Raiload investors, according to
Judge Lovett, are deserving as much
Of encouragement, liberal treatment
and appreciation as stockholders in
other enterprises with no public in
terest involved"
mo money except that devoted
purely to benevolence is employed
more in the public interest or is en-
titled to more encouragement or fair
er treatment and consideration than
that which is invested in hte- con-
sruction and development of railroad
facilities" declared Judge Lovett, who
added that ."it is about time that we
were introducing common sense into
some of our theories about railroad
capital"
Judge Lovett said he favored COM
pulsory Federal incorporation be-
cause then the railroads would cease
to be be "mere creatures of the
states" and cease to be "tied hand
and foot when it comes to the issue
and sale of stocks and bonds re-
striction that, too often threw them
back upon short term borrowing with
dangerous and often unfortunate con-
sequences.
Exclusive federal regulation Of the
issue of railroad securities, said
Judge Lovett, is so vital to railroad
credit and to the success of any sys-
tenn of regulation that may be adopt
ed that ut must not be overlooked
Federal regulation of freight and of
passenger rates also, he thought i'm
perative because of the notorious"
discrimination by many state railroad
commissions in favor of their own
citizens against citizens Of other states.
Establishment of a Department of
Transportation with secretary in
the Presidents cabinet was empha-
sized as needful for the reason that
the railroad business, "the largest
single industry in the United States
next to agriculture" is unrepresented
in the government and without any
friend at court" Such an official
Judge Lovett said, would be able ITO
meet emergencies resulting from ex-
ceptional congestion in traffic or
through blockades in transportation.
by quickly mobilizing the nations
transportation resources and by the
arbitrary diversion, if need be. Of
traffic from lines which cannot handle
1t to lines which can and by other
instant and heroic methods"

MERE NAME WORTH MILLIONS

The mere name of Florida Is worth
millions to the state. 1t means Land
of Flowers, we are told, and the whole
nation gets that concept of it when
ever the name is written or spoken.
Writing of the value of this name
which we are positive in itself proves
fabulous in the advertising worth
which it brings, the Jacksonville
Times Union says:
IN the list of states there is name
that appeals Immediately to the aes-
thetic sense-that better part Of our
nature which rises above the appe-
tite for food and the necessity Of fires
in winter and shade in summer.
Florida, the Land of Flowers, was
named by those who had found, as
they believed, the home of perpetual
springtime, the place where nature
had chosen for rearing her most beau
'tiful blossoms, and where the air was
balmy and delightful, and sunshine
rain in due proportions, made all
things smile. Differing from the ma
jority Of states in that they were
named usually to compliment some
king or queen, patriot or pathfinder,
Florida, the bouquet to adorn the
feast, is unique in name as In every
other characteristic.
Florida is name that Immediate
ly creates a mind picture when ut.
tered in the most distant lands pic
ture of wonderful beauty and absorb
ing interest There are millions Of
people in the United States who have
never visited Florida, but few who
have not heard of this state, and no
matter how remote their intentions
or little their interest, the echoes Of
the name spread out like rainbow in
the colors and light of spring and
flowers and sunshine. Florida is a
beautiful name, and the better we
know the state the more we are con-
WINGED that the name was an inspira-
ton. The discovers could have had
but the vaguest idea of the magnifi-
cence, the vastness, and the resources
of Florida, but their general estimate
was correct, their choice most
happy"
What the Times Union says is true.
Naturally Florida is 'land of flow
ers" but do we as individuals do our
part to make it more truely SO? How
can we? Easily enough by lending a
helping hand with the planting of
flowers and shrubbery about our
homes, identifying hem with the
flowers which respond so readily to
human care. There are many homes
in st. Petersburg; many pretty
lawns; many pretty flower beds. But
there are also many others which
show lack of care, lack of flowers
and shrubbery.
And the people who thus neglect
the appearance of their own property
suffer directly, of course. The value
of their property is lessened, their
standing in the community lowered.
1t is right that this should be, but 1t
is not right that others should suffer
through their neglect, which is but
natural result of such failure on the
part of citizens to realize the duties
incumbent upon them as such.
Those who fail to give attention to
these little things" of Identification
give the lie to Florida's name. They
are parties to false advertising" just

Just to what extent the Loose Law

! President Wilson does not remove the
ban on the sale Of beer and light

be able 10 get a wee nip after June

Attorney General Reinhardt and his
deputies have been comforting about
the application OF the Loose law should
the President not III the ban Un beer
and wine by July 4, but they have no
announcement as 20 how far they will
90 or will not go in applying that
law. Mr.. Reinhardt today said he had
no public statement 10 make at this
time as 90 the attitude OF his depart
ment on the liquor enforcement ques-

The Loose law was passed primarily
10 safeguard the importation or carry

vote dry at local option elections. VII

clause that gives 1t a broader applica-
ton than 20 any district that votes

TO "those portions Of the state OF Della

hibited by law. This would apply 10 TO
Wilmington. which is the only dis
trict OF the state that has voted "wet,

aged 80 years, from the Baltimore, Md,
police. he having been arrested in that
city on fifteen charges OF obtaining
money under false pretenses. The

that Gross might be the man who

year.
The game worked by Gross in Bal

soldiers and collect various sums as
duty on packages at the Custom House,
and then fail 10 deliver the packages.

from relatives in France.
