A GOOD ANTE-BELLUM HABIT T0 RESUME One of the admirable political hab- its of the Old South which resulted in a representation of strong, domi- nating, highly capable men in Con gress, whose names are graven deep in the annals of the country, was to keep a cood man in place after he had been elected and had become ef- ficient in his work and not turn him out at the bidding of some ambitious candidate **back home" who wanted his job and had given no nroof that he was better qualitied for it !‘mn. the man he sought to rvecen?. He was prolific in promises and had the whole body of the dear peo- ple cuddled up in the warm interior of his great and patriotic heart and that heart beat for them and them alone. But very seldom was he suc- cessful in disguising his avid appe- tite for: office under the pretense of passionate zeal to promote the hap- piness and prosperity of the dear, people, and he was generally Kkept at home and the faithful public ser- vant of proved ability and tested ef- ficiency was Kept in Washington. The South had statesmen in those days, not mere politicians, and she couldn’t do hetter after she has “tried out” a man now than to re- sume that excellent ante-bellum habit. i And especially here in Florida (l(J. we need it as a reward for public servants who are doing their duty and a rebuke to those who would oust them from office merely to pro" mote their own selfish personal am- bitions. . i SIS A R ! Straub, of the St. Petersburg "imes, is up in New York interview- ing Andrew (‘arnegie and vndcavor-{ ing to prove to that gentleman that he should increase his subseription K for the proposed Carnegie library in St. Petershurg. Straub is a shrewd observer and an excellent writer and | when he gets home we will doubtless get a pen pieture of the canny Scnti well worth reading. Of course the, lights in the picture will be tempered by the financial results of the inter- view ., i e A presidential cold has no inherent qualities considered purely as a cold on itg own merits which entitle it to more consideration (han your cold or my cold; but when we consider the tremendous results that might follow if the presidential cold took a fatal turn, we can see the difference. We wish President Wilson a quick recovery from his indisposition, and, While we like Tom Marshall, we dou't like him well enough to want to sed him ipn the presidential chair during this or the next three years. el We wish Congressman (Clark much luck in his efforts to get the '10\‘0!‘!\" ment to pay to the Sonthern States that cotton tax fund of $60,000,000 about which he makes an eloquent gpeech every year in Congress, hnt' we have no faith ip hig success, It is a fine subject for every new con gressman from the South to try his ‘prentice hand on and the claim is a just one, but no Congress has ever had any intention to pay it nor ever will, Governments are not always honest—in paying their just debts when the sum is a large one, and there is no physical power behind the debt to enforce payment. P SR \WWhatever concerns Will Craw- ford, formerly editor of the Pensa- cola News and now a successful law- ver in Kissimmee, i{s of interest to all the press gang of Florida, for he was one of the most popular of that body and he keeps a warm spot in his heart for all of us today. We note in the last issue of the Kissim- mee Journal that Mr. Crawford has been clected to the position of grand historian of the Kappa Alpha Order, the larzest Greek letter fraternity in the South, and it is a distinguished honor most worthily bestowed. Mr. Crawford is an enthusiastic mem- ber of that order, is devoted to its high ideals and is admirably quali- fied to do the responsible work of the office to which he has been elected and which will keep him in touch with a membership scattered all through the South. 2B BB SRR R B BT e 3 < S i o B g ] é [ o t G % 3 s < E Handsome Neckwear If vou wish to give an inexpensive S~ v 7 1 imely DD resent that any man would con- Suggestions < sider himself fortunate to receive, 'rices 35¢, 50c and $1.00 Acceptable Furnishings For Men T'his list sugests a number of useful articles suitable CHRISTMAS GIV- f()l' ING, ‘There is something desirable here for nearly every price that you would want to pay.
