L N S S N This summer in South Florida fur- nishes abundant additional mony to sustain our previous allega- tion that in the matter of climate this fortunate State can “‘put it all over’' the rest of the country not only during the winter but all through the year This reads like a poor joke, but it's a cold fact. o We have no desire to butt in with our advice in the matter of the Pen- sacola postmastership which is now a burning issue in that city follow- ing the recent death of Postmaster Fell, but if Chipley Jones gets the plum Pensacola will get an excellent Postmaster and a progressive Wil- son Democrat will have heen fairly rewarded for long and faithful party service. testl- ——0 After reading the calm, clear, statesman'ike presentation of the facts justifying the payment by this €overnment of $25,000,000 to Colom- bia, given by Secretary Bryan and printed in the Telegram yesterday, the coarse mouthings of Roosevelt on the subject can be appreciated for what they are worth. They are merely the slanders of an irresponsi- ble demagogue who, merits may be, has been known through all his public life as a selfish egotist who rode down the truth and perverted facts with utter reckless- ness when they stood in the way of his purposes. 0 The Live Oak Democrat takes a shot at the vacuous pinheads who de- nounce the local paper as worthless, even though they are without the education or natural aptitude to know 2 good newspaper when they see it or to understand its contents if they should succeed in laboriously spelling through it. Don't worry, brother. Criticism from such sources goes for nothing, but if you desire to placate the insects just stick in a three-line personal announcing when they arrive or depart from the city and your paper will at once leap to the summit of journalistic excellence in their richly cultured and keenly critical judgment. 0 Uncle Henry Watterson has so far receded from his original contention that President Wilson was a crook and a generally undesirable citizen that he is now moved to admit that Mr. Wilson “has shown himself a leader courageous and far-seeing as well as faithful shepherd of both the public and party.” Like most men of genius Uncle Henry is not both-\ ered by the bugbear of consistency, and when he finds that he is wrong the doesn’t hesitate to get right even at the sacrifice of his first opinion. That is one reason why he is always interesting. Mr. \Watterson has been worshipping the Star-eyed Goddess of Reform for the last forty years as a figure of speech invisible to the naked eye, and in the wisdom of his age he has at last discovered her in the man he denounced as a crook in a moment of pique because of some now almost forgotten incident dur- ing the last presidential campaign. a —_— The Tampa Times warms up with elaborate and almost indignant argu- ment in combating the ‘“heresy” of the Miami Herald in suggesting a commission form of_government for the State. There is ne need to get worked up over that for it has hardly as yet emerged into even the academic stage and doubtless it will never in our time be taken se- riously as a desirable form of gov- ernment for any State in the Union Commission government for cities has probably come to stay, but it is issue, not a logical sequence that what is good for cities is also good for an entire commonwealth in which the element of magnitude alone would perhaps be sufficient to defeat the theory. People get more intelligent and capable as the ter fitted to their Euwni;nr) with true wisdom, and while the fu- ture modifi yvears go by, bet- U SE may see many 1S of I our present form of State machinery it is very sure that the foundatior principle of self-government by t people wil] turbed or practically abrogated never be seriously d large degree as would be nec under a commission system for t State. SSary whatever his | VESSEL THA W. V. Knott's looked-for an- nouncement as a candidate for gov- ernor is received by the press and people and ordered filed. That is, its reception is tentative, and unmarked either by objection or enthusiasm. The people are yet of an open mina upon the gubernatorial matter, and [ will wait until the full crop of can- I:‘;:I:xr's ig gnbmitted for review, That {theire will he other announcements besides those of Mr. Knott and Mr. Hudson is practically certain. | 1 'AFTER THE VACATION IS OVER | —_——— | These vacation things are not what they are cracked up to be, Their charm is absurdly overrated, and the frightful aftermath when the mis- erable vacationer, with his frolic ended and his money spent, has to mount the treadmill and resume the pitiless grind, makes it a serious question if vacations are really worth while and if they ought not to be abolished. The most helpless and unhappy wretch in the world is he who, hav- ing “enjoyed” one of these vacations, has to get back on his job feeling no fitness for his task and oppressed by a sense of helplessness and in- adequacy that makes his once famil- ial work a very nightmare of horror galloping through his shrinking con- sciousness. Vacations as at present practiced by many American citizens are a source of economic weakness to the nation at large and of moral im- pairment to the individual unit—a breeding ground for pessimism, de- spair and suicide; and while the va- cation per se may be a very good thing, that which follows hard upon it is so tragic in its collapse of hope and hideous of (*untrust! that know of nothing toc om- pare with it as a keen little, mean little destroyer of human happiness and provocative to solid human mis- ery.

Today's celebration is distinctly burgeois, of course, for those who dream of a restoration of royalty, frown upon the fourteenth's festivities. They, the aristocrates of the population, content themselves | with attending the great French re- view of troops which is held annual- | Iy at Lonzchamps on this day W FRENCH S(iCIETIES CELEBRATE Washington, July 14, T SANK TH Poc Day, the anniversary of the fall of[mg,etahle lig the Paris Bastile, at the bginning of the French revolution, July 14, 1789, PHEASANT HUNTING DISCUSSION Norwich, Conn., July 14.—The conservation commission will grant a hearing this afternoon, at which the matter of extending the season on pheasants will be discussed as the result of a petition presented to the commission. The present close sea- son expires this year, and unless ac- tion is taken by the commission, pheasants could be hunted in this country this fall, subject to the re- strictions imposed by the game laws. Most sportsmen are in favor of ex- tending the close for at least an- other year, and also that the legis- lature, before the close season about to be continued expires, establish a zone of certain dimensions around the State Game Farm within which territory pheasants shall not be killed.
