VOTING FOR A NATIVE

While there is little doubt but that
Mr.. Bryan would make a more spec
tacular figure in the senate than
Park Trammell, the man he would
supplant, if he should be elected to
that body from Florida, it is, indeed
doubtful, if he would give this state
the service that a native Floridian
whose every interest is here, would
do--Sanford Herald.
But Florida is not represented eth
er in the upper or lower branch of
congress by a native.
If Florida native wants to vote
for a native he will have to vote
against Duncan Fletcher; he will have
to vote against Park Trammell; he
will have to vote against Frank Clark;
he will have to vote against Herbert
Drane; he will have to vote against
John Smithwick; he will have to vote
against Joe Sears.
The Floridian who wants to vote
for native will have to look around
for new material.

tiyes but none were natives

NWE JERSEY FALLS IN LINE

The Commoner-William Jennings
Bryan's paper, published in Lincoln,
Nebraska,-for March, brings us a
most interesting piece of news which
our local newspapers seem to have
failed to print: we wonder why? asks
the Florida Christian Advocate.
The following is the item:
"A Trenton dispatch dated March
8, says: "The New Jersey Legisla-
tive Assembly today voted 33 to "a
in favor of resolution, already adop-
ted by the Senate, ratifying "a pro-
posed amendment tothe Federal Con-
stitution,' the Eighteenth (Prohibi-
tion) Amendment. 1t directs the Gov
ernor to forward the ratification to
the Secretary of State ct Washing
tom
New Jersey is the forty-sixth of
the forty-eight states to assent to pro-
hibition.'
And this is the state of Governor
Edwards; or is he an ex-governor
now? We have really lost sight of
him.

TtiE GASOLINE TAX

The Banner has for ever so long
a time advocated small tax on gaso-
line as the easiest and less hurtful
of any tax as it would be largely paid
by tourists and those best able to pay
it, but we could not impress others
with its ease and efficiency and now
comes the Dixie Highway Magazine
and says:
What purports to be an easy So
luton of the payment of the interest
and actual retirement of the $50,OO0,-
900 in bonds is tax of two cents per
gallon on all gasoline sold in the state.
The states of Texas, Oregon and Miss
ouri have tbs two-cent tax and the
plan is success. 1t is estimated that
in this way the bonds would be retired
at the end of thirty years"

LET'S BE FAIR

1t is not true that Mr.. Bryan has
made his residence in Florida because
he could not obtain an office in Ne
braska
That state elected him to congress
thirty years ago and the speeches that
he made when he was a member of
that body attracted so much atten-
tion that gave him such nationwide
fame that they secured for him the
presidential nomination
One of his speeches is remembered
for it's illustration of the "Cannibal
Tree from which we make the fol-
lowing extract:
''Out in the west the people have
been taught to worship this protec-
them But | believe, Mr.. Chairman.
that the time for worship has pass
ed 1t is said that there is in Australia
what is known as the cannibal tree.
1t grows not very high, and spreads
out it's leaves like great arms until
they touch the ground. In the top is
little cup, and in that cup mys-
terious kind of honey. Some of the
natives worship this tree; and on their
festive days they gather around it,
singing and dancing, and then, as a
part of their ceremony, they select
one from their number, and, at the
point of spears, drive him up over the
leaves onto the tree; he drinks OF the
honey, he becomes intoxicated as it
were, and then those arms, as if in
stinct with life, rise up; they encir-
Gle him in their folds, and, as they
crush him to death, his companions
stand around shouting and singing
for joy.
Protection has been our cannibal
tree, and as one after another of our
farmers has been driven by force
of circumstances upon that tree and
has been crushed within its folds, his
companions have stood around and
shouted: Great is protection
Again at later date in a speech
at DesMoines he enunciated the prin-
ciples of the Democratic party on the
question of protection" in the follow
in vary I.,ofd
"The whole aim of our party is to
secure justice in taxation. We believe
that each individual should contribute
to the support of government in pro-
portion to the benefits which he re-
ceives under the protection of the gov
ernment. We believe that a revenue
tariff, approached gradually, according
to the plan laid down in our plat
form, will equalize the burdens of tax
alton, and that the addition of an
income tax will make taxation still
more equitable. If the Republican
party is to have the support of those
who find pecuniary profit in the
exercise of the taxing power, as a
private asset in their business, we
ought to have the support of that
large majority of the people, who pro-
duce the nations wealth in time of
peace, protect the nations flag in
time of war, and ask for nothing from
the government but even-handed JUS
tice.'
