About that time, however, the people will take a hand in the matter, and lh:.fsg little agreements won't count for much. PP R SRR g Really, it does look like nerve for either Gibbons or Milton to rua against Park Trammell. 1t would be good politics for either of them to step aside and let the people have their preference, so plainly expressed, without further trouble or delay, The people would remember and reward their forbearance. Our Underwood friends are respect- fully reminded that the primary in Florida by no means settled the pres- idential nomination, as some of them seem to think. Perhaps the Wilson forces will have their laugh after the Baltimore convention, (laude L’Engle is preparing to launch forth in a sccond campaign against Toomer, and indications are that its progress will greatly resem- ble the work of one of the dredges in the Everglades, which heretofore has been considered the State's best mud- thrower. The editor of the Deland Register, lately from Kentucky, who finds Flor- ida politics warm in comparison with the Bluegrass brand, is respectfully cited to the pleasing passages in print now being indulged in by Beckham and Marse Henri Watter- son. If there's ever heen any hotter political stuff manutactured in Flor- fda we haven't been favored with a sample ex-Gov, Says the Tribune: “Gibbons cer- tainly received a high testimon of esteem tfrom his home peopla when they zave him a majority of more than 500 votes over the other four candidates for governor combined.” Yes, that was pretty good for Gib- bons—but what's the matter with Trammell's majority of nearly in his home county of Polk? 1t will be much r to be a good Methodist if the recommendation of the bishops of that denomination, ye- moving the ban from many worldly picasures, be adopted. If the dis- patches quote this recommendation cerrectly, it goes pretty far—-farther than many church members will fol- lew, we opine. We are in receipt of a letter from | Dr. W. 8. Higbee, president of the Pennsylvania state board of examin- ers for registration of nurses, con- veying a caution against the *Phil delphia School for Nurses a beneficent and charitable institu- tion. This concern appeals to the newspapers frequently for free vertisements and on ac - . posing as ad- count of the supposed nature of the work, most | newspaper men - we among others— have gladly and freely given space to reading notices caleulated to attract poor and ambitious Young women to travel long distances to enter this school. 1t appears from Dr. Hig- bee's statement that the institution does not equip young women proper- 1y for the profession of nursing; that the graduates of the school are not accepted b ythe Red Cross Society the nursing corps of the army and navy; and that otherwise the institu- tion is unsatiefactory. As we have printed the advertisements of the school free, in the supposition tha: We were aiding a worthy work, we DPOW give this statement publicity, and advise any young women wl;o may be interested in any similar ad- vertisement to look into the matter d carefully before taking :n} action.

The fight is over, and while we !rcgret that Mr. Braxton Beacham Iwas not elected to Congress, there is intered | » postoflice at Lake-|ratification in the attitude of this Entered in the p g ‘ ; 1and, Florida, as mail matter of the| cunty toward him. He polled some, : : :fifly-nno more votes in Orange couns| ;!y than the five of his competitors put together. {of conservative men that finds it not {within his power to cry aloud his virtues. One Orlando man explained | his defeat yesterday, by saying, “He| {refused to kiss the babies.” And there | lis a great deal of true philosophy ln_ the simple, humorous statement. ! The American people persist in ad- miring bluff and bluster. A man must rant and rail, if he would catch the ear of the crowd. This attitude is not altogether to be condemned; there is something fresh and stimu- Jating about it; it makes for inter- est ip life in a sense, as it persists, the best public men will not be elected to office. | From the standpoint of depth of character and real ability there can be no possible comparison between Mr. Beacham and Mr. 'Engle. The people chose the latter. Like seeks Nike in life, and the answer is, we are not grown to the stature to get the best out of government.—Orlan- do Reporter-Star. | CARD FROM H. S. PHILLIPS, Tampa, Fla.,, May 3, 1912, To My Friends and All Who Support- ed Me in My Race for Congress: 1 desire to thank you for the splen- did and loyal support that you gave me in my contest for a seat in Con- gress, | appreciate everything you di¢ for me. 1 wish | could shake the hand of every one of you as | tell you so. We fought against great odds. The combination was simply too strong. All things con- sidered, I feel that we made a splen- did fight. 1 am glad 1 made the race. 1 thought I was right and I still think s0. | did my best. 1 made a clean, fair and open fight. 1 regret my de- feat, but it will not hurt me. Ev- ery man who runs for office cannot win. A majority of the Democratic voters of this district have decided against me and 1 accept their verdict without a murmur. Yours truly, H. S. PHILLIPS. THEY ARE ALWAYS THERE, The toilowing editoriai item is tak- en from the Jacksonville Floridian, whose editor is a staunch Protestant: “Again, again and again is it dem- onstrated that Roman Catholics are not made up of “fair-weather” friends conspicuous in church denominations, At the exe- cution of Willinm Alexander, last Friday for the murder of k Sum- mer, we noticed thy usual visitations of dear old Sister Mary Ann, of Sis- ter Stanislaus and of Father Maher and Father Bare But all others were again conspicuous for their ab- sence. No wonder this church con- tinues to grow in power. S0 other In time of trouble or atlliction, they are always “there with the goods,” “Those lines of Sir Walter Scott were never truer of any woman than of this same Sister Mary Ann “When pain and anguish wring the {brow, a ministering angel thou!™ “Long may this splendid - woman live and continue in the good work she was never known to shirk. “We have got to “hand them one' on this. They are always there. This was the genuine article as taught by that “Meek and Lowly Nazarene™ and it will live and flourish in its vonsciousness of doing good when {ethers are dead and forgotten.” The Live Oak Democrat says: “Take five minutes off from can- didates and politics, dear reader, and |peruse the following which we find {in an exchange. 1t is a little gold mine of truth important for every lone to know: i ““You will never find a busy man meddling with other people’s busi- |ness, nor one who is well versed in general knowledge. A well stored mind has not the room for gabbing, ‘nur has the mind of a busy man space for the need of tale bearing. Educa- tion and business preoccupy and lift humanity above such low and debas- ing depravity. It is the idler who becomes the gossip peddler. WHis brain is the veritable workshop of the devil. Backbiting, slandering, £ossiping and Iving are not the traits of busy, clean, intelligent minds ITake the street loafer and the tough, the coarse and the vulgar, and you will find where these traits dwell." _— The City Council of St Augustine has recently pased an ordinance But as long | Ruminations of Uncle Henry Dear Editer, Marthy says my la; letter to you sounus like 1 was ex- pectin the ladys of ilie Womin's Cluh Mr, Beacham belongs to that class t» go into the house-cleenin b“s'i makin them plane enough. offen make a mistake like that. | think it is better to put in a few know what you are sayin.

But, | about that last letter. 1 was just tiyin to say that all the peple of this/ town had ought to cleen out all the things they dont peed on “Cleen uj ress, and maybe come pints in that ! letter is misslcecin owin to me Lot| 1 dont I more words than to not have peple Will be at Cole & Hull’s Jewelry Store MAY 7.

However better late than never, as the sayin iz, 'and 1 am now tellin you that was a good peece, a little flowery and not too much so, with lots of good sense mixed in. There is lots of pe- ple which thinks that if they are happy it is a sine they are doin somethin which they had not ought to do. And that makes it hard for writers like you and me to fix al peece up so it will sound good, and yet not sound so good that noboddy will beleeve we meen it. The way peple talks about that reck makes me think of Lizzie Wil- son that lived with and Kkept house for old man Rogers and his wite and crippled dauter. There dauter, Clary- bell was her name, loved to play authers, a game which is not used much now in these days but wich is a reel interestin and instructin game and Lizzie was reel fond of playin too. 1 enjoy a game of authers as well as the next one, and so does Marthy, only she want never no hand to remember how to play from one time to the next. Oh, yes, | was talkin about Lizzie. Lizzie didn't, never have much suksess playin. Authers is like anything else, some peple can ketch on reel quick and others cant never get the hang of it. After every game was over, Liz- zic would say somethin like this: “Well, T could have wone that time it 1 had only had the Marble Faun,” or else, "1 could have beet that time i 1 had asked Uncle Henry insted of Clarybell when 1 was wantin Hawthorn's House of Seven Gables,” Yen see, tryip to tell how it wounld have been it it had been diffrent. And, there is lots of peple which is gein around sayin, “Cup. Smith want tendin to dooty or it wouldnt have kappened,” and others s *“They was a-goin too fi ors sayin, st," and oth- “The truble is they want enough life botes,” and so on. But, fanyboddy say, “Here we see the ro- sults of humen carelessness, and we had all ought to be very carefull Lereafter. You know they don't. {Every day there is flys born by the willions in our fare vitty, when jusi one is enough to start tyfoid fever under faverable circumstances, Thore is muskeeters born and rased in th edges of the lakes and in empty tin cans and such places, and yet we are reel proud that this haint a na:- erel hant of the muskeeter.
