Archery

Butt shooting is an old English term
which means the same thing as target
shooting. In the olden days the shoot
ing grounds were equipped with banks
of dirt, covered with sod, which
formed the so-called butt. Over this
sod was usually placed piece of pa
per to act as target, and the term
"butt shooting" was used to distin.
guish it from rovers. Rowing consists
in shooting at various targets placed
in fields at varying distances. The
archers shoot from one to another,
which helps develop their judgment
of distances, and did in the Olden days
mean quite lot to the yeomen.
whose business was shooting the bow
and arrow, and on days when they
were not fighting they were in the
fields practicing rowing.

Sen. Fletcher on Florida

Florida landed in the republican column in 1923.
Now Sen. Fletcher. democratic leader Of the Ever
elades commonwealth, in an interview declared that
the republicans could not hold Florida because they
had never had the state" Sen. Fletcher is mistaken
in part. They had it in 1923 and exhibit A Is the
majority given the Hoover and Curtis electors.
Otherwise he is correct.
Sen. Fletcher reminds the politicians OF America
that in the latest registration throughout Florida the
republican votes do not exceed 20 per cent Of the to-
tal vote In the state. This is the Fletcher message
TO the democrats of America: Florida is thoroughly
and overwhelmingly democratic"
All this is a reminder that the prosperity promised

Roosevelt Makes Bow to People

Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt has broken a two-year
official silence concerning the prohibition question TO
announce himself for repeal Of the 18th amendment
and substitution Of a federal statute granting each
state the right to control the sale of intoxicants. In
his statement the governor was positive in saying
that there must be some definite assurance that by
no possibility at any time or in any place the old
saloon can come back"
This Is his slogan: The time has come to stop talk
ing and to seek action"
AS for the republicans they are split wide open In
many northern states. The congressional leader IN
the state Of Washington was defeated by a republican
wet and in the state Of Michigan TWO veteran dry
leaders were knocked out Of the running as well as
turned out Of congress by two very vociferous wet re-
publicans Of the same party faith.
Rep. Louis c. Champion Of Michigan, known as the
dean Of the house dry leaders. was defeated BY a ram
pant wet republican in a very close vote. Indeed IN
a total Of $1,000 the wet republican emerged with q
majority OF $50. Really the game of politics Is grow
