A Lecturer

Who has studied climatic condi-
tons for years, whom we had a
chance to hear last Thursday at
the Tacoma Rotary club luncheon.
He held forth the fact that this
climate is ideal for longevity
not too hot nor too cold--and ex-
cellent for the eyes.
If we are going to live a long
time, we may as well try to pre-
serve our eyes.
Moral: Take the first step; you
know where to go.

Mr.. Joseph Bell and Miss Daisy Bell
and Mrs. George, Bitch. Miss Jefie
will have performed quite an Odyssey
by the time she returns to Miami. She
came from that city to West Palm
Beach on the train, from West Palm
Beach to Okeechobee via bus, across
the lake to Moore Haven on a boat,
and from Moore Haven to Ocala by
rail, changing cars four times. She
obtained good look at a very inter-
esting section of Florida. Miss Bells
friends in Ocala and vicinity are al
ways glad to see her.

TOO BIG FOR ITS BREECHEs

Speaking of the proposition that
the state democratic executive COM
mittee nominate candidate for state
superintendent of public education, the
Tampa Tribune says:
"And we do not like the attitude of
any man or paper which declares it
will not be bound by the action of the
party of which it is a member, or
which it is supposed to approve. The
democratic nominee for the office of
state superintendent of public in
struction will be carefully selected for
his fitness and party loyalty, by the
functioning head of the party in this
state, the state democratic executive
committee. Every other man who
wants to may have his name placed
on the general election ballot, if he
can get the requisite number of names
to his petition; and it's mighty poor
man indeed who in Florida cannot find
five hundred people who will at his re-
quest ask to have him put on a
ticket"
To use homely old comparison, the
Tribune has become too big for its
breaches. 1t should take sits bath in
alum water. Why in Gehenna should
any man or any paper care whether
or no the Tribune is pleased when ht
or it sees fit to express his opinion
The democratic party of Florida ha:
not given the executive committee an,
power to name candidates. If it trie:
to nsurp such power, what the people
will do to it will be plenty Their,
was time when the Tribune defiet
the committee for exercising its dele
gated right. Now it threatens will
it's displeasure those who announc
they will not be influenced by the at
tempt of certain members of the com
mittee to exercise powers they do no
possess. Let it be displeased and b
hanged to it. The democrats of Florid
will not be dictated to by an ordinar
hotel diningroom full of men, even
