Hardly the next one, Miss Kate, but perhaps the next after the next, and, even then, the convention will refer the issue in good old Democratic, home rule style to the several States. UARIESEEE el The Palatka News denies that Col- onel Herbert L. Anderson is the only Bull Mooser in Forida and calls attention to the fact that Judge Maxwell is also of that faith. This makes two, and we shall be glad to hear of one more in order that when the Bull Moose State meets the chairman will be able to tell if there is a quorum present for the transaction of business. —0 Tt is incredible that in this ad- vanced stage of civilization a general European war should result from the petty dispute between little Servia and Austria. A century and more ago when the chief business of Old World nations was fighting at the bidding of ignorant, pinheaded kings who believed in their divine right to rule and misrule, such an incident ag the present one might likely have precipitated war, but nothing of the sort will happen now. Diplomacy will find a way out. In this country we have been taught to believe that “‘lese majesty was a little device in monarchicar lands that made the people mighty careful how they talked about their kings; but in England at any rate they talk as they please about poor little King George, who is doubtless unhappy enough in his job as figure- head for that nation, and Kier Har- die, member of parliament and labor leader, expresses this public opinion of him in cold type: “King Geoge is not a statesman. He is not the pleasure-loving scape- grace his father was, but, like his father, he is destitute of even ordl- nary ability., Born in the ranks of the working class, his most likely fate would have been that of the street-corner loafer.” T The watermelon crop of Suwannee county brought more than in cash to the grovers there this season and from other counties in middle Florida come reports of a profitable melon crop. We note also that Suwannee is now ship- ping watermelons to Tampa in car- load lots. In this part of the State the melon growers do not seem to have been go successful, although the crop was not a failure. To get there first with the most men was General Forrest's favorite war max- im, and substituting melons for men it would seem to hold good for w melons, $40,000 county ater- other things being equal. Truck raising is a good deal of a hit or way: ‘It and maybe comparative next, but the it a good thing about all we along any line too, miss proposition, any- one season, failure the profit makes end, which is have a right to expect in this world, is big money average in the — convention | THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAK ELAND, FL There is very slizght prospect of a Florida exhibit at San Francisco un- less the State papers get together and give the movement strong sup- port. They are not together now and quite a number of them are op- posed to any exhibit and doing what they can to discourage the move- ment. The St. Augustine Record is strongly in favor of it, and says that every loyal Floridian ought to be exceedingly anxious to have Florida properly exposition next year. further says that ‘“a well organized committee, of which Geneal J. R. Foster is chairman, is now active- ly engaged in the preliminary rangements and has been meeting with great encouragement on all sides.” W¢ are gad to hear this, but, along with many others, we are curious to know how General Foster and his associates are going about raising the large sum of money re- quired for that purpose. to that end is needed and General Foster might help his cause by a plain statement through the press showing his plan to be feasible. R L) enb il st Mr. Knott. avowed candidate for governor, was in Jacksonville the other day and the Metropolis said of him that “in discussing his candi- dacy he stated he was receiving as- surances of support from every part of the State.’” Dear old familiar words! They have doubtless come down to us from a former generation of candidates, for they get into ev- ery campaign and are in the mouth of pretty nearly every man seeking State or federal office at the hands of the dear people. As to their re- liability as a measuring rod to de- termine a candidate’s chances, John Stockton could probably unfold a tale that would take all the comfort out of them as bracers for an office- seeker, for they were a prime orite with him during the late sena- torial campaign. There is a fatality connected with these words that should warn all candidates to stecr clear of them as false heacons on an iron-bound coast. fav- 7, SOCRE LN In the last issue of the News Editor (faldwell turned himself loose and wrote a column leader bringing out Frank Clark for the United States Senate to succeed Sen- ator Bryan. The article was well written and requested all patriots of the Democratic persuasion in Florida to write to Mr. Clark and request him to become a candidate. This is a pleasant, tactful way of urging the office to seek the man, but whether there be any requesting or not by the great people, we sus- pect that Mr. Clark has already re- quested himself to become a candi- date and has received his enthusias- tic and unanimous consent to do so.

X2 & R a0 g | Miss Drane Entertained For Miss Summerlin 'And Dr. Whitfield, | In answer to quaintly original in- vitations devised by Miss Mabel Drane, a large number of guests at- tended a pretty affair Saturday af- ternoon in honor of Miss Summer- lin and her fiance, Dr. I. J. Whit- field of Missouri. Invitations to the Drane suburban home are hailed jwith delight and those receiving ,these felt themselves fortunate, Miss _Mabel's parties being especially no- ticeable for bright originality. The weather, after a series of 'magnificent bluffs, eame out for sun- greeted by a vision of fair Japan. Japanese curtained doorways, plants, lanterns, parasols, fans, a veritable tea house and geisha girls robed in georgeous kimonas, r‘hrysfinthemum decked hair. These last were Misses iroover, Mary Groover and Daisy Knowles. After greetings and con- versation the guests were conducted to the tea house. The entire house was decorated with potted plants and roses everywhere. All showed care- iful planning but the teahouse was the masterpiece not only adorned with flowers a la Japan and with attendants—O Alise Sen and O Flor- ence San-—but the screened-in room with its vines and transparency was like the shops of Japan. Seated on xcushions all were served with superb tea, real Japanese (svea) cakes, candy, ginger and finally two sorts iol’ Japanest favors—parrot whistles, tiny fans for the hair. Sevred so delightfully and watching the Jap- anese water flowers expand, guests | had to be induced to leave by entice- ment of the geisha girls to dance. ' What could be lovelier? Seated on the wide porch adorned with ferns and glowing roses O Suella San and O Mary Sen and O Daisye San danced to the victrola. Then O Suella San lsunz. with piano &ccompaniment, {while O Mary San plaved the Sami- sen for O Daisye San to dance the ,Dance of Grace—a lovely dance it {was.

Nobody fact all waited until the host, Sen- !amr Drane, ‘“of zracious. kindly mien,” appeared and gave excuse for longer tarrying. Nothing succeeds like success and Mrs. Drane surely felt the cordial under-current of her guests’ enjoyment of this completely successful paty. | Twilight had in her sober livery ':111 things clad and town ablaze with lights ere the guests departed.

His comments follow: “The White Sox and the Giants made more of an impression in Eng- land than one would suspect from reading the newspaper accounts of the game in the English papers. I have found out that the English ap- preciated the speed of our game as compared to cricket; that they mar- veled at the accurate throwing and catching and liked the idea of the game being completed in one after- noon instead of three days as cricket does. 1 am told that cricket is los- ing its hold on the people, that base- ball clubs have already been formed and that many have given up cricket for tennis. The opportunities for paying both baseball and tennis far greater here than in the lg cities of the eastern States. “For instance, London, which the athletic fashion for Eng- is infinitely superior to New York as a training ground for ath- leties, principally because of the hundreds of parks, called squares, where there are tennis courts and a large space in which to exercise or play baseball.
