Seat anywhere oe 91.00 per yea: ———————————————————————————— The Punta Gorda Herald says that Frank Mayes as a candidate for gov- ernor is-‘“a good one even though a pronounced progressive.” Why, that makes him even a better one; in fact he would not be a “good one” if he were not progressive. President Wilson {8 a good one because he is a pronounced progressive; same way with Bryan and all the other big Democrats of this day. It is useless to rall against- progressive Demo racy. It is here to stay and because it is progressive it is in power at the national capital today. e & Norman Hapgood, editor of Har- pers’ Weekly, told the South Caro- lina editors at their meeting in| Charleston recently that the country was largely governed by its newspa-! pers. In a sense, yes, perhaps, but ' it still holds true that ours is most- ' ly a government of lawyers by law- yers and for lawyers. Every session ! of Congress and of every Legislature | n every State in the Union shows this to be true. Lawyers make and construe our laws, and more than any other class, they govern the! country . e ety We congratulate Colonel Calhoun upon landing that $3,000 job as dep- uty collector at the port of Tampa. He was one of the best of newspaper ! writers on the Florida press when ' connected with the Tampa Times, a man of real ability and learning and | character, and he deserves the good fortune that has come to him. Not all ex-newspaper men find such pleas- ant ancorage and when they do we are glad to praise the powers- that-be for such recognition of good people. —_— Just why a man should prefer to be summarily booted out of an office to the nicer way of quietly walking out by the process of resignation, wrapped in the becoming mantle of his full dignity, is hard to under- stand. The former seems to be the r.ethod rreferred by the two Repub- Yican United States marshals in this State who now have their coattalils parted awaiting the impact of At- torney ueneral McReynolds’ boot, «they having refused to resign at his fequest T — ‘Washingtoa gossip, for the want of something better to hand out dur- ing the hot season when news fis scarce, insists that Attorney General McRoeynolds is not getting on smoothly with the president and will retire from the cabinet next Sepem- ber. The story is doubtless the in- ventio,, of political enemies. Mr. McReynolds being mortal is not in- fallible, but he has been a mighty lively member eince he took office and we suspect that he will stay right on the job with the full ap- proval of his chief for many months t, come. —_— The tariff bill has at last been re- ported back to the Senate from the committee having it in charge and it has not been greatly changed from the form in which it left the House. The debate will now begin and un- der the Senate rules it can be pro- longed indefinitely. The Republie- ans can hold up the bill all summer it they want to, but what's the use? It is sure to pass in the end—em- |¥ bodying the reforms the Democratic party was elected to carry through, and as nobody will read the speeches made and as few as possible listen to them, the Republicans might as well express themselves briefly in opposi® tion and let it go at that. —_— The most sensible note that has come out of Mexico during all the chaos of revolution and counter-rev- olution since Diaz was driven from the country comes from a native Mexican editor who frankly con- fesses that “‘the Mexican people are aot yet ready for constitutional gov. le,rmnent. They have not advanced | toward popular government since the Spaniard took the country from |its originai owners. Vast numbers of the people are ignorant, indolent 'and vicious peons, to whom nothing | lappeals but force. They take len- ‘| iency or decent treatment as an evi- dence of weakness and cowardice on the part of their rulers, and they need a strong hand.” It will be centuries, says the same writer, be- fore Mexico can hope to be trained in popular government to a point where a constitution will be of any | the . great deal of building is going on i aspect this winter to its regular | Jacksonville . service to them. SRR ST Tne presence of a few old tattered Confederate battleflags at the recent Gettysburg celebration gave no of- fense whatever to the .thousands of Union veterans assembled there nor to the public sentiment of any part of the North, but it seems to have had a very unhappy effect upon the editor of the St. Cloud Tribune, the G. A. R. organ published at that town in this State. He writes about it in the spirit and strain of forty years ago. The old battleflags sim- ply helped to make the retrospect of the great conflict more vivid and complete—which was just what ev- erybody there wanted—and the su- persensitive patriotism down here in Florida which could take offense at them is pitifully out ‘of place in this age of the republic. It seems to us that a real genuine fighting soldier of the Union with some size to his mind and heart who saw those flags amid the terrible splendor of bat- tle would be glad rather than other- wise to see them again as they ap- peared at the Gettysburg celebra- tion, for they were necessary to com- plete the picture and they attested not less than the flag he fought un- der his own valor and devotion to his country. B ' e LAKELAND IS HUMMING. W. E. Head, of Lakeland, was in the city yesterday spending the day in pursuit of pleasure and greeting many friends. Mr. Head reports that progress on Lakeland's hand- some system of paved streets and the new sanitary sewer lines is/ moving ahead rapdly. In line with municipal improvements, a | and the little ciy will present an ! winter visitors that they are not looking for. Lakeland is destined to be one of the most important cities in South Florida, owing to its strategetic location as to the rail- roads and it is already the largest railway center in Florida outside of The Atlantic Coast Line i{s making preparations to con- struct large transfer yards and an immense freight Aepot there, work to commence within the next few months, and the city will take on a boom that has not been experi- enced in any Florida town. Ideally located, in the center of a rich farm- ing territory, as well as the largest phosphate section on earth, oppor- unities offered at Lakeland are un- excelled in the South and many prospective settlers throughout the North and West are recognizing this. The live Board of Trade at that point is advertising the section and getting it before the public in an excellent manner.—Tampa Tri- bune. 10308080801 10B0RCB0RC 10NCRCROBCRCACRONECHORC B - JULY 14 IN HISTORY MWWW 1779—Battle of Penobscott Bay. 1790—Grand National Confedera- tion of France, when civil oath was administered. 1795—British took Simonstown, Cape of Good Hope. 1853—Commodore Perry landed at Japan and delivered to the imperial commissioners the letter from the American president. 1910—German papers call attention to activities of Mormon mis- slonartes in' Berlin. 1911—Congressional investigation of cha-ges against Dr: Wiley, chief of bureau of chemistry, ordered.’ 1912—Hayti threatened with revo- lution.
