But at best their value was transient, while cut- over lands left behind them are a large and permanent asset in the wealth of the State, increasing in value every year. ocratic party. May they be as heavy a weight for the Bull Moose.—Brad- fcrd Telegraph. L LR Enter Diaz! The nephew of his uncle will now take a hand in the war game in Mexico, ana With the greatest of all modern Mexican names to conjure with and Mexico's chief sea port in willing possession of his forces, the Madero regime may well tremble in its boots. It looks like the revenge of old Porfirio Diaz was about to arrive. Rl BN Sister Esther Carlotta, the remark- 2ble woman who is the official head of the United Daughters of the Con- federacy in Florida, has performed a valuable service for history in her elnborate account of the decisive bat- tle of Olustee, fought near Lake City in this State during the civil war, embodied in her address at St. Au- gustine Sept. 27. She has gathered the facts with painstaking care and the vivid story of the battle is pe- culiarly timely just now in view ol the dedication of the Olustee monu- | ment next week. | S SR Treat Colonel Bryan kindly. He is the mosy distinguished Democrai in the country barring Woodrow Wilson, and he is doing magnificent scrvice for the party. He lost out or. free silver and government own- | 0rshl|i in past campaigns, but he cemes as near being the author oi the distinctly new and progressive jesues in the Democratic platform as any man we know of; and it is no- torious that some of Rocsevelt's strongest policies, practically iden- tical with those in the Democrati: platform, were first suggested by William J. Bryan. —ee i | united voice of the press. * Rev. Edward J. Young, of Bartow, contributes a strong article to the Ccurier-Informant of that city to show that there was no basis in fact for Whittier’'s pocm about old Bar- bara Frietchie, of Frederick, Md., protected by Stonewall Jackson from the Confederate soldiers who wanted to shoot her for waving the Unioa flag. All well-informed people un- derstand that the incident was an in- vertion along with innumerabic oth- tery to stay there perhaps forever. But it is well enough to roo¢ this perticular one out while some of the witnesses are still living. ———0 The abuse of the franking privi- lege has long been one of the scan- dals of Congress, a scandal to which Congressmen themselves seem cntive- 1y indifferent—more shame to them. There have been very many instances of this abuse more or less outrageous in character, .but Congressman Mann, of Illinois, a Republican, lead- er in the House, seems to have abandoned his conscience entirely in the flerceness of kis partisanship and transcended the lines of decency and heonesty in the misuse of his Con- gressional frank for party purposes. He is now using it to burden the nicils with President Taft's speech of acceptance and Senator Root's speech of potification to him of his nomination, sent out to the public as a part of the Congressional Record. Of course it is no part of the Record, and the use of Mr. Mann's frank to send it out as such is a deliberate fraund. ARy SRR LET THE WOMEN HELP No people in Florida are more in- terested in the cause of education than the women of the State, and it is in their power to aid materially in the adoption of the constitutional amendment to provide the means to increase our public school facilities. The press of the State is almost a unit in favor of that amendment, bug voters need personal prodding on the subject, and their wives and daughters and mothers and sisters can perhaps suggesg their duty to them with more force than even the Let all the women’s clubs in the State arouso themselves to the importance of this issue and to this influence should be joined that of the hundreds of women school teachers in Florida, and these two forces combined, unit- ed to the steady preacning of the press, ought to swing the prepon- derancg of votes in favor of the amendment. Vote for that amend- meng to create special tax school districts. WHICH WON'T STICK. The lone argument in use during‘ ne Gr t this campaign for the retention of e a es t the Republican party in power is the general property of the country, which Republican leaders insist is due to the policies of the G. O. P. They don’t attempt to prove it for the excellent reason that they can't; they merely take advantage of the accidental coincidence in time and ciaim that the relation of cause and effect obtains between the policies of their party and the prosperity of the country. In no part of the nation are the prevailing good times more pro- nounced than in the South, 2nd yet the South is solidly Democratic and has been since the ancient days of reconstruction; and it doesn’t lie in the wit of any Republican leacer to trace that prosperity to the fact hat his party is in power in Washing- on. The resources of the country, the encrgy and well-directed enterpris: of the people, good crops and the laws of supply znd demand—these | are the causes which bring the pros- perity, and to credit it to politics and politicians is an absurd non sequitur. The Cincinnati Enquirer takes the right view of the matter as follows: “No political party can claim, reasonably, that it is chiefly respon- sible for these great gains in ma- terial wealth. They would have been secured by the irresistible im- pilise of American energy and activ- ity, no matter what the political complexion at Washington or at any State capital had been. “For instance, in some of the States where the Democratic major- ity is steady and has bcen main- 1 tained almost unbroken for almost 2 urre ar generation's time, very great pros- perity and amazing industrinl and agricultural activity have prevailed.
