IN THE RUSHING RACE.

" FTdIIN -s OtdHAuUs
In the rushing race for office he laid
EN- on the shelf,
But, running everlastingly, he couldn't
stop himself.
John Gilpin never flew
On the nag the village knew,
Like that chap The world went dizzy
when the race II tried to view!
Springtime and summer he went Il
bold and blind
Kept the dust a-flying on the fellows
far behind,
Never time TO stay,
Twas People, clear the way!"
And / reckon he'll be running when
they blow for Judgment Day!

Press Comment
Where Florida Lays

Where Florida Lays
When the United States department
of agriculture began its campaign
against the Texas fever cattle tick,
July /, 1905, there were 72S,565 square
miles in fifteen states infested, all in
the south except one, California. In
almost every one OF these states the
campaign has been carried on vigor
ously. The department was enabled
on last Christmas day to announce
that six of those states had been COM
pletely freed of the seourage and that
total of 20 per cent of the original
infested territory had been cleaned up.
Florida does not show up we'll in
the list of the states which have sue
ceeded in more or less freeing them
selves from the parasite. The resist
ance in Florida to the attempt to ben
eft the cattlemen by removing the
disgusting parasite from the hides of
their animals has been very stubborn.
Some sections of the state have work
ed vigorously to utilize the aid offered
by the national agricultural authori-
ties toward enabling them to take full
advantage of the opportunity to make
this a great cattle state, but in other
sections the prejudices of few cattle
owners has been able to retard the
work. This is the way in which this
state contrasts with the others that
were tick-infested fourteen years ago:
Alabama, "a per cent Of infested
area released; Arkansas, SO per cent
released; California, 100 per cent. re-
| leased; Georgia, 73 per cent. released;
Kentucky, 100 per cent. released; Lou
| isiana, 66 per cent. released; Missis-
"A. mi
100 per cent, released; North Carolina,
10 per cent. released; Oklahoma, 90
per cent. released; South Carolina,
100 per cent. released; Tennessee, 100
per cent. released; Texas. As per cent.
released; Virginia, SO per cent. releas-
ed; Florida, 13 per cent. released.
OF the fifteen states infested four
teen years ago, California had the
second largest area infested, 1924
| square miles as against 54,S61 square
miles in Florida. Yet the energetic,
| intelligent inhabitants of that state
/ took hold of the matter with their
characteristic spirit and the state was
one of the first, If not the first, state
! to be released as entirely clean. OF the
remaining states not yet released, Ala
| bama and Oklahoma, with nearly as
much area infested originally as Flor
/ ida, will soon be added to the honor
| roll with the other six states. Geor-
gia, with 2.577 square miles more area
] infested than Florida had, originally,
| has eradicated the tick from 70 per
| cent of ii. Texas has cleaned UP near
/ ly five and a half times the area that
| Florida has in the last fourteen years.
| Unless there is more energy shown
| in this state as a whole, Florida will
still be under quarantine long after
every other southern state is tick
| Union.

FOREIGN Debts Due Us

Secretary Houston let's 1t be known
that the government is at work on the
project of adjusting and refunding it's
loans to foreign governments, and ne
gotiations with Great Britain are ap-
preaching completion. This is by far
the most important, since nearly half
of our foreign war loans went TO that
country. Necessarily, the payments
upon such an immense sum will have
to be distributed over a considerable
period of time, inasmuch as even II It
were possible to liquidate the debt
promptly, the transaction would upset
the financial balance Of the world.
But it is well to get obligations into
definite form that payment of inter
est and amortization may proceed as
a matter of course. The British debt
to our government amounts to more
than four billions and commercial
credits are thought to equal a total Of
more than half as much.
Great Britain is considered far and
away the most solvent among our for
eign debtors Not much has yet been
done toward the funding of the debts
of the others. France and Italy, in the
order named, rank next to Great Brit
ain in the amounts due, and besides
these several Of the smaller nations
have received advanced Of various
sums. Exceedingly liberal terms of re-
payment will have to be arranged
if anything is to be realized upon the
obligations of these weaker powers.
Payment will depend upon the recup-
Grafton of their productive energies
and the difficulty will be all the
greater if we impose high tariff rates.
Some have suggested the cancellation
of our demands, at any rate upon the
countries least able to pay, and a pro-
tective tariff is a step in that direc-
tinn--Chattanooga News.

Express Company Consolidation
The arguments of the Florida rail-
road commission against the CONSOLE
dalton of all express companies into
one, are sound. The reasoning urged
by the commission is most logical. One
of the most effective weapons the
railroads could have. since they have
been put back to individual ownership
and control, is the competing bids Of
various express companies for bust
ness. Completing one great monopoly
by this consolidation, the public and
the railroads would be powerless to
move for redress. The railroad COM
missions of the several states would
have a herculean time trying to keep
this monster from becoming the dan
ger which its. very bulk and strength
would tend to make 1t.
As well merge all the roads into
one; as well merge all the telephone
and telegraph companies into one;
as well merge all of any other class
of public utility companies into one,
as consolidate the express companies
into one great monopolistic giant

A Junior Chamber For jacksonville

A Junior Chamber For jacksonville
While the suggestion that a Junior
Chamber of Commerce be organized
in Jacksonville caused a good deal OF
comment, none of which as far as we
know was unfavorable, no definite
steps have been taken toward the or
ganization of such body. which per-
hapS was due to the disconcerting
influence of the holidays.
Why not a splendid Jacksonville
resolution of the New ear-to make
m. shty strides in all civic matters. TO
advertise the assets OF the city, to de-
velop these assets and the potential
assets, TO bring about closer co-opera-
ton, &c unite the many citizens in
their numerous clubs, in a single pur-
pose to extend the opportunity to work
to all of those who are Interested?
If such a resolution was made, it
STANDS to reason that a Junior Cham
Der of Commerce would be given
more serious consideration. 1t would
be made a powerful factor in advanc-
ing the civic interests of Jacksonville.
Energy is characteristic of young
manhood, yet if it is not directed in
proper directions oftentimes it is to
no avail. It fails unless it is trained
ana Sulued IN It's expressions. The
present chamber of commerce holds
an important position in the city and
it is right that it should stand high,
but Junior chamber can perform just
as important a part and in some re-
spects the features of its program, if
properly outlined, can be even more
extensive than those of the senior
body.
Almost every day we read that
junior chamber has been organized in
some progressive city, and each time
we remen Der that Jacksonville is per-
uniting its youth to go to waste, so to
speak. The young men see no particu-
lar reasons why they should take upon
their shoulders civic problems, and it
is natural that they should feel this
way; but if they had an organization
of their own, medium through which
they might exert themselves for the
betterment of the city. it is safe pre-
diction that they would put their
hearts in the work and in a remark
ably short time force their elders to
sit up and take notice.
There is no plausible reason why
Jacksonville should not have a Junior
Chamber of Commerce-Florida Me-
tropolis.
