B s e e e o) A ctizen of St. Petersburg grum- bles through the press at the clos- | ing of the stores on Thurscay after- poon. Put yousself in the place of the tired, fagzed salesman, Mister, and you'll view the subject from a new args.¢ that may make you less selfish and more considerate of oth- er members of the community. e i e Pious and proper St. Petersburg {8 now shuddering in the sinister shadow of the mnear-beer saloon whose horrid rresence looms in the offing and is about to discend upon the docmed city. The St. Petersburg Independent eays that there is noth- fng worse thon the rezular saloon but th: “.or-bees cousin fo it. und | we may add to clinch the argument that there is rothing worse than! the near-tecr ealoon but the near- beer itself. . ————— It appears upon careful considera- tion that the work of the last Legis. lature was nct up to the standard of | efficiency .—Jacksonville Metropolis. | That’s a very nice and proper way | for a new editor in Florida to nuti it, but after you've been here awhile, | neighbor, you'll talk plainer than that. Heaving rocks and throwing bad eges at our Legislatures, all of them—espccially the last one, is the most popular form of sport known to the Florida press gang. S S Talk about the Land of the Skye, the summit, of the Rockies, the sea- shore and other retreats for swelter- ing sumanity from summer heat! Last night'in Lakeland," in South Florida, in.the month of August, was as near the climnte of Paradise a8 mere mortals have any right to expect. In the cool caresses of such en 'atmosphere the most hardened sinner coulq enjoy the refreshing slumber of a healthy infant and al- most shed Lis sins and wake up a regeneiatcd creature ready to go down town and make amends for all his meanners.’ : ‘ s, e That recent advertisement of the First National Bank of Pensacola in the Journal of that city in which the merits and claims of Pensacola a8 5 growing city were presented in fascinating colors and the bank took dut a few concluding lines to ‘‘blow its own horn' has been commented on in papers all over the country as & remarlable plece of corstructive and progressive advertising., It will do more for that bank than twice the space devoted exclusively to its own merits, and other tanks and business concerns in Florida would d0 well to accept the pointer. —————— The Eustis Lake Roglon has for- mally launched the Frank Mayes doom - for governor and gives three columns to the good things said about Mr. Maye: by the press, along with tae picture of his decidedly handsome features. It gives you a desire to vote for Frank for any of- |. fice he wants just to look at him, and when you meet him and know him well you are willing to go out and work for him. The candidacy ©f no newspaper man in Florida «ver culled out 0o much generous en- ghusiasm from his brethren of the prees,- and whether he wins or loses he has something to be always proud of in such an overflowins measure of admiration, faith and friendship. N _— . The other morning an Atlanta woman shot three times with a re- | volver at her husband because he spilled. his coffee on the breakfast! table. Being a woman, she missed fim of course, but he didn’t miss' the fine corrective influence of the treatment and he won't soil any more table cloths in that happy | homo hereafter. We bave often wondered what was just the riczht medicine for a brutal tustand out- raging the de!lcate sensibilities of a gentle and refined wife by sloshing coffec over her spotless table linen, and this Atla:ita lady has wow rfully fnformed us. . Truly the emancipa- gion of our longsuffering women ! stitute “man” for ‘“gentleman” in draws nish and is brezkivg like a benign sunburst over tie whole glad | land. ———— The escape yesterday morning of!, Harry Thaw from the New York! asylum for the ecriminal insane where he hes been cenfined since his | conviction of the murder of Stan- ford White, is a stunt only lcss sen- sational than the murder itsclf. Harry got acrcsg into Connecticut, and with plenty of money to hire | plenty of lawyers it will be no easy matter to get him back in Mattea- wan even if he is cauzght, H's wife professcs to be scared for her life | now that he is at larze, bvt as Har- | ry was never crazy, anyway, and is | mighty fond of his liberty and a | good time in this world, Evelyn nced have no fear. She was the cute and | seductive little avthor of all his| woes and he wants to kecp as far away frora her as rossible. —_0 HERE'S WEZRE WE LAND ON THE SENATOR Rizht here we have a chance to let drive at a custom more honored in the breach than the observance and we are going to do it. In Sen- ator Bryan's recent excellent speech answering his critics on the parcel post issue, he said: “I hold no brief fcr the railroad companies or the express companies. l I do not know a single g:ntlemani financially interested in either who voted for me when I was a candi- date for the United States Senate."} That’s all right as far as it goes, | | Senator, and it lets you out as to the | single “gentleman” referred to, but we fear that your disclaimer is fa- tally defective in that you limited it to the genteel class and didn't include mere “man” in your knowl- edge on the subject. All of which illustrates the very. exceedingly doubtful taste of sacrificing the strength of a statement to an old. fashioned notion of politeness which compells us to call all men gentle- men whether they are or not. Sub- the above quotation from Senator Bryan’'s speech and note how much better it reads and sounds and how much more fully it conveys the idea intended.
