Carranza ought to be the last man to kick against the occupation of Vera Cruz by the American forces. Our people administered the custom house there honestly, and as a re- sult there is more than $1,000,000 in cash to turn over to the Carran- za government now which might otherwise have ne into power with a treasury nearly empty. If the Huerta gang had held on at Vera Cruz they would have found other uses for that money. Dl The Lakeland Telegram is unani- mously in favor of Senator Bryan for circuit judge. Of course the fact thht the Telegram is unanimously in favor of Governor Trammell for United States senator has nothing to do with the case ,tra lu.—Clear- water Sun. You are correct again. ‘“Nothing to do with the case,”” describes it exactly. We are for Trammell to succeed Bryan in the Scnate for reasons heretofore copiously stated in these columns and which need not be repeated now. And we are for Bryan to succeed the iate Judge Shelby on the federal bench solely because we want that honor to come to a citizen of Florida and we think Senator Bryan is the most available one for the purpose. We emphatic- ally do not want him there merely because it would make a vacanoy in the Senate which we would like to see filled by Governor Trammell. Our preference for the latter could wait without suffering until the regular senatorial election and would wait before we would endorse a man for the judgeship merely to make a vacancy for Trammel. — Qs The Tampa Tribune credits to the Palatka Newg a recent defense of Former Governor Gilchrist made by the Telegram against the charge ot some uninformed or unfriendly pa- per that he was a nonentity or words to that effect because of his inveterate good nature. We feel entirely confident that if the ex- governor enters the lists against Governor Trammell for a seat in the Senate that he will be defeated by a large majority, for Governor Trammell is undoubtedly and de- servedly the strongest man in Flor- ida with the masses of the people. But that is no reason for disparag- ing an able and distinguished pub- lic man and we agree with the Tri- bune when it says: “It is difficult to arrive at the in- spiration for the characterization of Governor Gilchrist as a nonentity, when we remember that on every occasion on which he has offered himself to the people, both of his home county and of the whole State, he has been overwhelmingly elected. The people do not usually elect non- entities to responsible office.” oO—— The development of the canning industry in Florida by the various canning clubs in the State, mostly made up of intelligent and enter- prising young women, is making gratifying progress. To increase this progress our dealers in canned goods who now buy almost cxclusively from the North should be encour- aged to patronize home industry. Experts say that Florida cannea goods are as a rule better than the imported stuff; and if the price is made right a great canning indus- try could be built up in Florida and a profitable market found for a vast quantity of fruits and vegetables which now goes to waste or is sold in northern cities by commission houses with scant profit to the pro- ducer, and sometimes no profit at all. Speaking of Miss Agnes Ellen Harris, who is doing so much to stimulate the girls’ canning clubs in this Statp, the Orlando Reporter- Star says: ““Miss Agnes Ellen Harris, de- serves more substantial recognition than she gets in her salary check. It would be no extravagant apprecia- tion for each of the counties where she has¥ntroduced the work to ap- propriate a sum sufficient for her to take a lengthy and luxurious vaca- tion.” s l l from Pinellas county, but they are going to try it. They are cheerful and persistent people, these Social- ists, and while their doctrines may be dreams, at least they are decent dreams, and a Socialist enthusiast working at his propaganda is a mere interesting person to meet than the fellow who ‘votes 'ér straight’ because his daddy did, is opposed to all remedies for cattle tick and thinks a razorback hog is too perfect to be improved on. —_—— We suspeet that Senator Bryan’s most formidable opponent for the vacancy on the federal bench is John B. Knox, of Alabama,, who, we note by the dispatches, wants the place and has had an interview with the president. He is a Pres- byterian from away back, and so is Woodrow and that is a bond of union not to be underrated, other things being equal. Also he is a man of extraordinary ability and rare legal learning and acumen, and he has a long, angular, sinewy per- son and strong, clean-shaved, hatch- et face that give him a marked re- semblance to the symbolical “Uncle Sam’” we are all so fond of. He would incarnate the majesty of the great federal government tc perfec- tion on the bench and we suspect that he's the man Nat Bryan will have to beat. RCARERESY oy The tremendous events occurring in Europe have minimized all other news. Did you notice that little item tucked away among the war dispatches yesterday in which it was stated that King George had signed the bill granting home rule to Ireland and it was now the law of the land? That would have been a great front page sensation prior to the war, for it means the most radical and drastic change in Brit- ish governmental affairs that has occurred for more than a century. The law will not go into effect for probably a year yet, but the big fact is that it is the law and that ft gives an Irish parliament in Dublin for the government of the irish peo- ple. They had a parliament once, but they gave it up in the year 1800 and became merged with the gov- ernment of the other island, with a préportionate representation in the British parliament in London. They commenced kicking soon thereafter and have been kicking with in- creasing violence ever since. Tt will be interesting to note what will be the effect of the new law when the Irish parliament gets down to work. Ireland will, of course, still remain a part of the British empire, but the English people will have nc part in making the Irish laws. Same way in Cznada. —_——— TO PROTECT FLORIDA FISH Palatka, Sept. 19.—The Fish Protective Association of Florida, with headquarters \at Welaka, will make a determined ~effort to secure the passage of a general State law for the protection of the great fish- ing industry of Florida, in which the St. Johnms river plays an impor- tant part. At the next meeting of the Legislature this Putnam County association will urge the enactment of an act for the protection of fresh water food fish in this State; to pre- scribe a closed season therefor; to prohibit the transportation or pos- session of food fish during closed and open seasons; to prescribe li- censes for residents and non-resi- dents; to prescribe the length, sizes and Kkinds of nets and fishing de- vices; to declare kinds of license tags and exhibition of same; and fixing penalty for failure to com- ply with any of its provisions. CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC CHARITIES Washington, Sept. 19.—The an- nual meeting of the naticnal con- ference of Catholic Charities will open in this city tomorrow.

His methods are alto- gether different than the methods of any evangelist we have ever heard, but he gets the results and there is nothing objectionable about the methods he uses. They are sim- ply different and refreshing. His sermons have attracted large con- gregations under unfavorable condi- tions. He draws men ucder the sound of the Gospel who have not been in church for years. ““He certainly is clean in charact- er; consecrated in spirit; learned in the Scriptures; and powerful in his speech.
