eight ballots, strategic plan by a
coterie of Unied States senators and
regular party managers to take ad-
vantage of the deadlock and nomin-

up to the ninth had shown Wood and
Lowden running neck and neck, with
first one and then the other in the
lead and Johnson fighting for third
place was: Harding, CAT 7-1o; Wood
15719; Johnson 80 2-5; Lowden 12,

Wood supporters were disappoint-

only a few votes gain for him. He re-
tanned the lead, but Lowdenwas nearer

'03 votes on the third ballot, but Low
len was still closer. His count was
'S2. Senator Johnson polled his max
mum vote 14S. At that stage of the

The man who is held mainly re-
sponsible for keeping the strike in
existence, long after he knows it In
lost-for he is not fool-has been
living on the fat of the land at once
of the local hotels until the last few
days. He has denied himself nothing
in the way of food as his appearance
will show and as the known facts
about his habits attest. His ex-
renses have been large and his fare
has been luxurious. Yet there are
little children in Ybor City, emaciat-
ed, half starving. under nournished,
whose parents would be providing
food for them but for the false advice
given by this man and those working
with him.-Tampa Times.

A friend of ours, somewhat ruff
fed by an article we wrote recently,
besought us not to write any more
like it. "Be more Christlike," he said.
We don't think we have the ability
to be Christlike, but we think our
friend had better take his New Tes-
lament and read a few of the chap
ters filled with Christ's sayings. He
would find the most severe denuncia-
ton of wickedness or compromise
with wickedness ever spoken. If
Christ came to America and talked to
the people of the average town like
he talked to the people of Jerusalem,
they would lynch him.

SPIRIT OF THE SOUTH
Boston Transcript


The spirit of the New South was
exhibited by the party of Georgians
who visited Boston recently for the
purpose of studying means of increas-
ing sciences aid to industry. The
enterprise and the> energy which
mark the industrial world of the
South of today are further in evi-
Idence in reports Of large undertak-
ings that are now under way in
Southern states or are about to be
commenced. There is the same hous-
ing shortage there as elsewhere, but
there is much activity in the erection
|of buildings for commercial and man
ufacturing purposes. Millions are to
be invested in the development of
natural resources. Bond issues in aid
Of construction are proof that the
good roads movement finds as power
ful support in the South as elsewhere
in the land.
A list Of some of the recent under
takings which will involve the ex-
penditure of millions of dollars be-
gins with the announcement that a
Louisiana lumber company will spend
a large sum on reforestation, and will
build four paper mill units, in addi
tion to one already in operation, with
an output of 125 tons a day. In
North Carolina a corporation engag-
ed in the manufacture of book paper
and cardboard is about to expend ST.
100000 in the enlargement of its
mills. New hydro-electric plants to
be erected in Alabama, will call ulti-
mately for an expenditure of between
fifteen and twenty millions. The
growing use of Florida lands for cane
growing finds illustration in the news
that Philadelphia concern will de-
velcp 10000 acres and erect sugar
refinery, at cost of S1,300,000.
The good roads movement has been
given an impetus in both Virginia and
West Virginia, each state having
authorized a bond issue of $50,O00,000
for highway construction. In North
Carolina there is movement on foot
to secure state fund of 100000, 00C
for the building of comprehensive
system of highways. The spirit OF

A correspondent of the Tampa
Times says the liquor slowed in
bonded warehouses of the United
States amounts to half "a gallon per
person and if drank at the old rate
would last only thirty-six days.
Seems to the Star like the best way
to rid the country of the troublesome
stuff would be to sell it at half gallon
per person, or, as at least half our
people are prohibitionists, a gallon to
each person who wanted it. There
are eight able-bodied men connected
with the Star. each of whom knows
how to drink in discretion. and if the
government wants to adept the plan
we suggest to get rid of the liquor it
may ship eight gallons to the Star
right away. Personally, we prefer
that our gallon be Scotch

so particular.

The Tampa Tribune advises farm
ers not to go on strike, lest the
starving people of the cities invade
the country, kill the farmers and APP
propriate their food That might
work for awhile in thickly settled
places, but in the greater part of
America the country people are not
only in the majority, but have the
protection of long distances. Beside,
the people of small towns would side
with the country people. 1t would
be very bad all around, but in the
end the big city people would get the
worst of it. Let's hope that mutual
good sense will prevent such an awful
catastrophe.
