Officers who themselves have no respect for the game laws can hardly be relied on to be vigilant in the enforce- ment of those laws. The State game warden, we feel sure, wants to get the best men to enforce those laws in the various counties and he does well to go slow and investigate thoroughly before making such ap- pointments. The article in the Democrat, as follows, gives him some good pointers as to the kind of men not to appoint: ‘“We heartily approve of the game laws passed at the recent Florida legislative session and hope that State Game (ommissioner Jones and his deputies will be able to enforce it, but it will require a careful se- lection of the wardens in the differ- ent counties if any good results are to be obtained. I n some counties the probabilities are that many will apply for appointment to this office with no other motive than to escape being brought to account for break- ing the laws themselves and to pro- tect their friends. The old game laws were rarely cver enforced by the county officers and it is not like- ly that the new laws will be en- forced any more strictly if the war- dens are selected from among them. Some officers have no respect for the game laws themselves and such men would be more of a detriment than a benefit to the cause. We hope, however, that wardens will be ap- pointed who will carry out their du- ties in an honorable manner, but they will have to be carefully se- lected.” Lakeland is having a very quiet time over its commission govern- ment campaign.--Tampa Tribune. Still waters run deep, brother. Through the columns of the Tele- gram, in almost every issue, a very | searching examination into the mer- its of this question is being made by some of our clearest thinkers on the sclence of local government; and when our people get ready to vote | on the issue on the Sth of October, ! if they are not well informed as to | the strength and weakness of the}’ particular form of commission f.:m'-{ ernment offered them it will be be- cause they have failed to read the abundance of good literature pr()‘ and con we have printed expressly for their benefit The digcussion is proceeding in good temper, without that large and entirely necligible mass of acrid eriticism, uear-per- sonal vituperation and offensive impusning of motives which never get anybody anywhere in the solu- | tion of any purely intellectual prob- | lem like the one we have in hand, | and when the time for voting ar-. rives we can cast our ballots with- out passion and in an almost aca- demic state of mind. And Lhflt's“ the way to settle every issue in life both public and private. PRSI . [ As a result of the recent election | in Marion county, Dunnellon voted dry although there was a majority" for the wets in the total county vote. This drives the saloons out of Dunnellon and those noble in- | dustries must now seek for wet | precincts in the country in which to continue their useful ministra- | tions in the cause of civilization. The Ocala Star tells about it, as follows: “It is said that onme or more of the saloons that must leave Dun- nellon in consequence of the recent election will move to Belleview. It is probably that others will scatter out through the county. Under, the law, a saloon can be established In any wet precinct of a wet county, in | ugly word. uicorporated town, or outside o town, provided it is not withn “v.r miles of a school house or « hurch. There are quite a numbe: )f places in the county, on some o. .he most traveled roads, where a sa .oon could find a site four mile: from not ouly a school house or a church, but from a )prigate resi- dence. About the worst place iu the world to locate a saloon is on a public highway, out in the coun- try, and out of the reach of police supervision.” —_— The editor of the Fort Pierce Tri- bune has returned from a seven- weeks summer vacation at the North and while confessing all the beauty and charm and general ad- vantages of that great section, Flor- ida suits him better. And that's the way they all talk and they mean it, too. The North is so high- ly developed and organized that each human unit there has found its place in the vast mechanism and those who are seeking opportunity find the door open only along spe- cialized lines. But in Florida we have all the advantages of a new and just waking to a sense of its; power and individual in'tiat.ve for the man of moderate means is still the rule here. Now is the time to “catch on,” for a few years hence conditions here will much re- semble those in the thickly settled States and individual opportunitics will be correspondingly scarce. 7, S T Chas. W. Lee, a weaitny orange grove owner living near Miami, has had a young lady, Miss Nina Floyd, living up in Pennsylvania, arrested for jilting him and obtaining money under false pretenses. The young lady says: ‘‘After he gave me a diamond engagement ring, and $100 in cash, to prepare for the wedding, he acted as though he had paid a deposit on a piece of property and owned it.” She offers to return his ring and pay him back his money in installments as she had spent it before she found out he wasn't her kind of a man. Drop the (harles. That's not the way for a case, Florida man to treat a girl, even if | he did blow himself for a sparkler and a measly little old hundred dol- lars on her. Think of the rapture vou got out of the affair before the heartbreaking denoument came It was cheap at twice the money SIS v ey The straightforward, clear, sim- ple, normal and sensible way in which William J. Bryan looks at all questions, excepting possibly the relation of the office of secretary of State to the Chautauqua circuit, is well illustrated in the opening sen- tence of his speech before the Amer- ican Institute of Bankers in Rich- mond, Va., on Thursday: ‘Banks exist for the accommodation of the public, and not for the control of business,”” he said. The truth of the statement is obvious and funda- mental and the country needs to be recalled to it, for many of our banks, especlally our largest ones, are So firmly convinced of their autocratic powers that they feel sure of their legitimate sovereignty over all the business of the country. e e We can’t understand why an of- fice-holder should prefer to be kicked out of his office, figuratively speaking, rather than to go out voluntarily by the dignified process of resignation-—it being inevitable that he has to go one way or the other. The two Republican U. S. marshals of Florida have gone out by the booting process to make way for their Democratic when they were offered the oppor- tunity to resign. They vindicated no principle by their course. Queer suceessors taste! isicsesine Fort Myers successfully pulled off her primary to nominate a postmas ter and Wiley Lee, the present as- sistant in that office, casily won out by a good majority. B ut what hoot it, Wiley? Are you any nearer the job now than you were before? What pull has a Fort Myers pri- mary in law, equity or politics with the dispensers of pte in Washing- ton? ERIF —— Governor Trammell new euphemism for the short and “Uttered a conclusion which was false” is the cold, clear | and courteous way in which he gets at it, and it sounds much better than the other way. A saloonless Dunnellon! Surely I thé” world do move. i NI S———— =] 9 SEPTEMBER 21 IN HISTORY o a RO LRV DOODHRRVDOO B 1804—An march to besiece the city of San Domingo 1829—First public school in Balti- more, Md.
