That ought to count some. Stirred by the splendiq success of Lakeland with her Board of Trade eapansion movement Gainesville has | called a meeting of citizens to or- ganize a Board of Trade and the Sun of that city is giving valuable ]:\.\t;ismnru to the enterprise with {some strong editorial enthusiasm. ! (4] | The attempt to a sinate Mr. Roesevelt and the sad death of the amiabls and popular Vice President Sherman ought to and does take reh of the crimination and recrim- ination out of the presidential cam- paign. The touch of nature that makes the whold worlg kin is a great factor in the cause of Christian civi- lization. i PN The Sanford Herald voices a wide- spread suspicion when it says that “when the general election is over there will be a general exodus to Florida that will eclipse anything in { the tourist line that has ever crossed | the Florida line.” This State is now i universally recognized by all the a8 the winter tourist resort of the na- tion. And from even west of the Mississippi we are drawing a steadily irereasing number. 0- The death of Vice President Sher- man removes an excellent man wio had horne himself so well as the pre- siding officer of the Senate and in iis other ‘public relations that he q the respeet of all men of all and his off will he " regretted section.

Well, yes; but wouldn't nearly transparent and perspicuous to say the rim or perimeter is the peripherical ulterior —Daytona-Hal- ifax Journal. | We thought of that, too, but it seemed advisable to adopt the sim- { pler perimetric form of conveying the !idea. H i s . ‘ President Madero would ! more respect for himself and sym-! pathy for his government by com-' muting the death sentence of youns ! Felix Diaz than he would by havin: him shot as u traitor. A few montis' ago Madero was himself just such a traitor as Diaz, a rebel in arms against his government, and the only diffcrence between him and this young man is that he was a rebel in lack and the other is a rebel out of luck. There is no moral difference in the two cases. eari B Ml it e The one way to avoid all complica- ticns growing out of the dcath of Vice President Sherman and the pos- sibility of throwing the election into the house or Senate is to give Wil- scn and Marshall such a majority next Tuesday that there will be no | room for doubt or dispute. And the voters of this country are soing to do just that unless all signs fail. I i the easiest and simplest way out of any possible complications, anl the American pepple generally take that way. { o Jacksonville is now in for an ex- perience similar to that which held Pensacola in its grasp several years | ago, and with the same parties to the f 1w Stone & Webster, owners o [the street railway system vs (e cstrikers, the strike-breakers from New York as intervenors, the State troops to preserve the peace, and th people to suffer the consequences, Al | ready there is plenty of digorder, and broken heads are not scurce, but ont of it all peace and order will emerg. in due scason and the cars be run- ning as usual. Tt always works thoet way in the end. ik § o3 The Ocala Banner, which doesn’t love the initiative and referendun: rcform now in the air and on th! way in every part of the country, in~t dulges the hops “that President Wil- son will make Jefferson’s idea of ren- i AP RV About thirty days lots---on the market.

This there is any intelligent objection to fi or anybody seriously opposes it, tut because so many of us rest more e.sily in negation than in positive attitudes when any change not ob- viously urgent is proposed, and we arc disposed to “let things rock alony g they are.” But it will take no | icre trouble to mark “yes” on your tallot than *“no” in the matter of | that special tax school districts smendment to be voted on next Tues- | ¢ay.
