Army Presidential Candidates.

In view of the possibility Of Major Gen.
eral Leonard Wood or General John j.
Pershing being nominated for President
of the United States, the question is OF
much interest and some Importance
whether an army officer could remain in
the service after he had received such
nomination. BY way Of answering this
query, says the Army and Navy Journal,
the War Department recently issued
statement showing that five general OF
ficers of the regular army have been can
didates for the Presidency, and telling
what disposition was made Of each case.
Zachary Taylor, major general in the
United States Army and nominated for
President, was writing his report Of the
Mexican War somewhere in the South
when he was elected. IN November, 1S4S.
He resigned from the army January 81,
1S49.
Winfield Scott, major general in the
United States Army and later commander
of the army, appears to have been on
duty status during the entire year Of 1852
as all the general orders for that year
issued from headquarters Of the army
we're BY command of Major General
Scott" General Scott was nominated
for President in the summer of 1852. The
election took place in November Of that
year.
George Mcclellan, major general and
commander of the army, was placed on
status of waiting orders and was on that
status in New York city from November
10. 1862, to November s, 1864, when he re-
signed1 The latter part of the year 1864
he lived in New Jersey. He was can
didatc for President in the summer and
fall Of 1864, resigning on the day of elec.
ton.
Ulysses s. Grant, general of the United
States Army, remained in that position
throughout the campaign of 1865, resign
ing March 4. the day on which he was
inaugurated President
! Winfield S. Hancock, major general oi
the United States Army, commanded the
Division of the Atlantic and Department
of the East. New York city, when he wa!
nominated for President in 1880, and re

1t is impossible to figure in cold
dollars the worth Of Florida agricul-
tural and livestock products for one
year, there is so much to be figured
in.
When we count up the records
and find that in the season of 1919
1920 tlere were shipped from the
state 63,287 cars of fruit and per
ishable vegetables, 23,354 of fruit
and 639,933 of vegetables, we have
not starred we'll on tto way to figure
what was produced in Florida.
This record does not include five
or more million bushels OF sweet
potatoes, five million dollars recatV-
ed for our peanuts, the many mil
lion bushels of corn produced, nor
does it take account of the rice and
the hay, the velvet beans and the
peas, or the mi.liCn and a quarter
gallons of cane syrup made and sold
for nearly two dollars a gallon.
No car of that 63.287 carried
pound of Florida beef or pork; no
car was loaded with the millions OF
dozens of eggs this state exports, or
of the poultry it grows. No figures
give account for the millions of gal
Ions of milk produced and sold at
prices ranging around dollar a
gallon. Nor have we said a word
about the honey cop of the Mana
tee, west Florida, and the rest OF
the state.
And because our citrus nurseries
sell their products to Florida we
have not figured the millions Of
worth in that industry; nor have we
recEoned the amount of canned,
preserved and jellied products OF
our guava and citrus groves
From the livestock farms of Flor
ida, farmers are raising and selling
for breeding purposes five thousand
dollar hogs, and fifteen thousand
dollar bulls.
1t is facts that are given here.
Not what can be done" but what
has been done, what is being done
every year. 1t is these facts which
make the conner to Florida first
wonder, then doubt, and finally be-
neve and swear it cannot be done
elsewhere. - Tampa Tribune.

A Disappointing Congress.

The unsatisfactory character OF
the session of Congress that ended
on Saturday is emphasized by its
very achievements. 1t handed
back the railroads, thus solving one
of the greatest problems created by
the war. but it did so only after an
ultimatum from the White House
that placed responsibility for the
consequences of further delay
sQuarely upon it's shoulders. II
provided for a budget, but it did so
in way to compel a veto so late
that there was not time enough to
revise and repaCs the bill. 1t pass
the water power bill, which had
been pending for II years, and then
killed it by adjourning before the
President could sign it, These
actions are typical. This Congress
did not know it's own mind. Com
ing into power with extravagant
promises and vainglorious boast
ings, it has consistently fumbled the
ball. It's record is not one to which
the Republican party can appeal as
evidence of governmental ability.
The truth Is that the session just
ended was more interested in
searching for mistakes made by
Democrats in conducting the war
than it was in its duty of facilitat-
ing the necessary transition to a
peace basis. The investigations in
to the war would have been less
conspicuously discroditable to the
Republican majority if by enacting
needed legislation it had given the
country something better to think
about. - New York Post.
