He was a new man in Congress but had made his mark there and he would have achieved yet higher destinction had he lived. - IRy R Whenever a public man collecting money, ostensibly for legitimate use, wants the cash instead of checks, right then he will bear watching, for checks constitute a record preserved for future use, while money speut leaves no trail behind. They say that Governor Sulzer in collecting his campaign contributions had a marked preference for cash instcad of checks. E— The Punta Gorda Herald thinks that if the enemies of Coi. Spark: man want to defeat him for Con- gress next year they will have to put up a strenger man than Fred DeBerry to do the job. Very likely. Fred's candidacy may or may not be a joke—at this time we are unable to feel certain on that point—bnt our shrewd suspicion is that after the election Fred himself will feel very much like a joke in the chest- nut class. S When the Alabama State govern- ment gets in a financial hole the gov- ernor doesn’t have to rusn to Wall Street and borrow money on gilt- edged security at high interest. In fHE EVENING TELEGRAM, LAKELAND, FLA., SEPT 26, 1913. e, e—ms —— hands over a hundred thousand or 8o, takes a promissory note at mod- erate interest and the business is settled. That's what happened the other day in that State and it is a good example of the right way to end the dominion of Wall Street over our State governments. France is richer than any other nation be- cause her peasantry and small farm- ers buy up all her bonds and gladly lend her money everytime she wants it. It ought to be considered hardly less than disgraceful for any State to have to trot to Wall Street to bor- row money on such terms as that co- lossal pawnbroker may prescribe, for there is plenty of money in each of those States to be had on reason- able terms, thus keeping the cash at home, quitting a bad habit and end- ing the mastery of outsiders. 0- President Wilson seems to be sin- gularly fortunate in his appoint- ments to office down this way. Take that man J. F. C. Griggs, of West Florida, for instance, recently ap- pointed to the best federal office in Florida, that of collector of custems for the lately reorganized district which includes the whole State. Ev- erybody speaks well of Griges, not merely because he's a “clever fel-| ler,” but because he's a real man and can “deliver the goods” expected of him by the administration. He was in Tampa the other day and they sized him up down there with criti- cal eyes because there had been Tampa men after his job and they wanted to get the exact measure of the person who “beat them to it.” The Tampa Times doubtless ex- presses the general conclusion When it says: “If Col. J. F. C. Griggs is a fair specimen of the kind of Democrats they produce over in west Florida we are not surprised that the pow- erg that be go there for their ap- pointees to the big offices. Colonel Griggs s big in body and brain and fills the office fully and completely to the satisfaction of all concerned.” el HE DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT FOLKS' VACATIONS Editor Holly, of the Sanford IHer- ald, is tired of getting picture post- cards from his friends telling of their vacations, according to the fol- lowing: “Now and then 1 get a postcard from some of my friends who are away enjoying themselves at some watering place (whatever that is) that emergency some patriotic pri- vate citizen blandly steps forward, AR i A WA SRS TN T and they tell me about what a good time they are having and here yours truly is laboring away trying to make a living and unable to take even the train to Enterprise. Some- times I think those picture postals are a nuisance and just invented to make a man discouraged with his lot. What good does it do me to gaze at some spot a thousand miles away and see the boys sporting themselves and get a line below with some of the good things they are enjoying amnd the words, ‘You ought to be here, ete.’ “I hereby warn my friends that when they go away again to please keep their thoughts to themselves while drinking lithia water and eat- ing pretzels to keep on doing the, same thing and don’t tell me any- thing about it, because it will al- ways be impossible for me to ‘come up there, and they know it when they write such nonsense. “As long as I am ignorant of any- thing except grits and bacon there is no earthly use in telling me about {anchovies and humming birds wings land hot birds and cold bottles and !Rectors and over the Rhine and i State street and out in Denver and | san Francisco and St. Louis and iother seaports that are all Greek to ime. I am patiently waiting until the elevator is put in the court house iand on that day I am going to fill up on sulphur water at Philips’ cor- ner, put on a red necktie and ride up and down on the elevator all day and have my picture taken ‘onroot’ as the postals say and then some of my friends will get some real postcards depicting high life in San- ford as she is writ.” —— e JOR0RCH XOBORCROBOROHOROOHCRCE IORCRCHCHC CRORCRORDY ] SEPTEMBER 26 IN HISTORY o THORCR0ACH 1E09"B080H CRORCRCACRCACHIACHCR0ND: KBRD 1799-—Zurich, Switzerland, by the French. 1804—Unfounded report of hostili- taken | ties in Morocco caused to ter which he will confer with the there. i 1829—The Society of Friends ln’ America published an octavo | edition of the Bible in large type and on fine paper. 1899—Admiral Dewey arrived New York harbor. | 1901—Boerg badly defeated in Zu-' luland. 1904—Japanese fight in slow ad- vance on Mukden, Russians contesting every foot of | ground. o 1904—Pope Pius declared that Con- gress of Free Thinkers had | sullied Rome and stated that act of atonement must be | made to wipe out offense. 1912—Montenegro on verge of war with Turkey. in JOR0RCI CRCRCRORCROHCHORGHOHORGH CRCRORORCE KBORCRONY ¢ o -} TODAY’S BIRTHDAY HONORS o -] TDIRON0R LHREHD CHOGODIO0OT00 DHC | Hon.
