He may have some gurprises ia rebuttal, but it looks very much like the electric chair for him. L — Hon. R. A. Gray of Tallahassee, a valued employe of the State in that city, has rendered a distinct service to the Democratic party of Florida by the timely warning which he sent out that Crom, Republican candidatc for comptroller, was seeking through the similarity of names, to get the voies of many of the friends of the late Comptroller Croom in the ap- picaching election. Mr. Gray was in a position to know that this was be- ing done and he has blocked the game effectively by the notice he gave out which has now been published all over Florida. o : ilton A.

B L Many of the Greeks who are now leuving this country and returning tc their native land to fight the Turks are not naturalized citizens here and belong to the reserve corps of the Greek army. They are re- turning to Greece under orders and ic is said that the penalty for fail- ure to return is ten years at hard labor. This may account for somg of the epthusiasm of the reservists to get home again in obedience to the call of King Gecrge. But far out. numbering these are the young Grecks who are returning as volun- teers, with no motive but patriotism pure and simple, and these are giv- iing the world striking proof just now that love of country and wil- lingness to die in its behalf are sen- timents still vital in an age well- nigh swampeqd in commercialism. 1 ey | ang President Taft has come cut of hi3 I(I ignified reserve, and like the !shrewd citizen he is, why sces that | advertising with printers ink is fa. l uperior to windjanmine a meth- i | the calm intelligence he pr o of reachine conis his ¢ jo' the voter, American people throush tin Pest the | to the f-u],ll Evening And he [ makes hest pog- | s lrh out of a bad case, and. while like his politics, in well you may not foet, onght not to, you will finish tize perusal of his brief with in- creased respect for the man., He has maointained the dignity of his of- fice and its occupant admir- ably all the way through his belated plea for the endorsement ol his ad- ministration. most 0 The Times-U'nion says in discuss- ity the tie inducements it offers to immi- crants that o western farmer can sI1 thirty neres of his land and with "thie provecds buy three hundred acres ol more productive land in this state.

S LG SHOWING HOW OUR CONVICT SYSTEM WORKS. it seems impossible that the con- vict lease system of Florida so deep- Iy cxecrated by so many of our best people ang under the fierce criticism oi the whole country, should live much longer. Instances are con- stantly coming to light of the hor- rible effects which make it a dis- gruce to any civilized people and here are two which ought to hely | to deepen its damnation in the pub- lir mind.
