Mr. Whaley is the son of Dr. Percival H. Whaley, for years the beloved rector ot Christ church (Episcopal) in Pen- sacola, a man of rare character and attainments. The new editor is, we ‘believe, a native of South Carolina, but he tarried long enough with his father in Pensacola to give Florida some claim upon him as a transient son. ) i That was mighty good advice which Engineer Moreland gave in yesterday's Telegram on the subject of good roads in Polk county. He recommended that pending the ques- tion of issuing bonds, short stretches of demonstration roads be built, upon which there is heavy traflic, put up sign boards showing the limits of such bits of road, what they are built of and what the cost per mile. This will give these experimental roads a thorough tryout by the time it becomes necessary to determine what kind of county roads the com- missioners will build with the bond money. 7 R S We don’t know who is to blame for the threatened new revolution in Mexico, but ag Villa is a half breed, full of wild, lawless instincts, and hasn’t been caught long enough to be fully civilized, while Carranza is an educated man of pure white blood who has demonstrated his pa- triotism by his deeds, we suspect that the former is in fault. But no matter which, let them fight it out among themselves. This nation has no business to interfere unless our rights are infringed and there must be extreme provocation to justify in- tervention. —_— An irate German subscriber to the Ocala Banner, who lives up in Cin- cinnati, has ordered his copy of that paper stopped because it is ‘‘biased” in giving the European war news. This is not fair, for the Baaner, like all other papers in this country, pub- lishes such war news as 1t can get and has space to print, and as Ger- man sources of information are al- most entirely cut off, necessarily there is more news from the other side. As for opinions, American editors are as much entitled to take sides as this Cincinnati German, and while our newspapers, as a ruls, have shown themselves marvelously expert in maintaining their balance on the neutrality fence, as advised by President Wiison, there has of necessity been more or less wobbling, the top rail being loose, and some editors, less expert than others, have fallen off and landed on the anti- German side. However, Germans, like the rest of us, are full of race pride and race prejudice, and in a time of war it is inevitable that this pride and prejudice should breed in- tolerance of any difference of opin- ion on the vital issue. It has that ef- fect with all tribes and nations; has had from the beginning, and prob- ably alvays will have until “the war drums throb no longer” and all peoples are merged in a common stock from which race and national lines have been obliterated.

Bryan in the Com- moner:) Florida will elect by direct vote of the people a senator of tihe United States in November. The Democratic nominee is her present senior senator, Duncan U. Fletcher. It is not thought any candidate by any other par- ty will be nominated. There will be no opposition to his election. His majority of 10,- 309 in the June primary indi- cates that his constituents value his splendid service and appre- cinte his attainments and accom- plishments. While Senator Fletcher has not yet completed his first term, ke is recognized as one of the n:ost intelligent, patriotic and efficient members of the senate. Demonstrating his capacity to mcet the highest demands of the ccuntry, his colleagues have place him on a number of the most imiportant committees, and he has been assigned to work of greatest reponsibility. ' While carefully guarding the interests of Florida, and abso- lutely devoted to her people, his vision and ' understanding em- brace the problems of the na- tion. > As the leading Democrat on the special committee to inves-| tigete the interior department and forestry service( known as the Ballinger-Pinchot controv-' ercy) his work on the committee, in preparing the report, and his speech in support of it, esta\)-l lished his position at the front.| As a member of the committee; selected to investigate the Ti- tanic disaster, he rendered im- portant service in connection with legislation which fol- lowed, improving our navigation Y1aws and tending to promote the safety of life at sea. As chairman of the American commission and the United States commission, appointed by ment whim eut shrdul cmfw sh the president, on rural credits, he is at the leadership of a move- ment which means vast benefits to the agricultural interest of the country. Senate document 214; is said to be the most complete,’ authentic and reliable publica- tion on the subject of rural cred- its in print anywhere. It iija volume of 915 pages, the work of these commissioners. ~The report of the United States com- mission to congress and the bill attached show the high charac-| ter of the efforts being put forth by Senator Fletcher and its great importance to the whole country. Florida has very wisely de- cided to continue him in the seg- ate. Outside of Congress, Senator Fletcher conducts public under- takings requiring a stupendous amount of labor and vastly help- ful to the south. As president of the southern commercial congress, and of the Mississippi to Atlantic Inland Waterway Association, he has psuhed forward the forces which make for the up-building of the south and in the spirit of the slogan, “A greater nation through a greater south.” ‘A DIME COULD BUY A FARM. Make a dime look like a tiny farm, and you will not be so wasteful of the little silver rep- resentative of the price of a cool drink! Make it look like a farm? Yes with a bit of arithmetic like this: suppose, just for easy figuring some good farming land s worth $160 an acre. A square rod, then, is worth only a dollar; and ten cents worth will be a lit- tle more than twenty-seven square feet, or a little farm slightly more than five feet on a side. For a dime, then, a person could buy land enough to make a little garden! And yet, think of the dimes that are thrown away every day for things that are sometimes positively harm- ful.

If calomel stays in the system very long it salivates. Even when it works naturally, its after-effects are often bad. Lake Pharmacy will sell you Dod- son's Liver Tone, which is positively guaranteed to take the place of cal- omel. Liver Tone stimulates the liver just enmough to start it work- ing, and does not make you sicker than ever—as calomel often does. You feel good after taking Dodson's and it won't forre you to stop eating ing or working after taking it. It is as beneficial for children as for adults. ——— PPEHIEPSIPDOBOGEEN PINE LATH, LIME, SHINGLE STAINS, BRICK, CERESOSOSNTREOSOTOTISOSOOG0 T OOV IOEOIOTOD CEMENT, SOOI PHONE 400 RED CEDAR and CYPRESS SHINGLES CORRUGATED IRON Our new club plan of selling makes them possible.
