Room for all! [Everybody welcome except the tramps, hoboes, bums and check artists! RS R People who wonder why that dead- lock between the hostile armies in France can’t be broken after four er: five weeks of fighting should hark back to our Civil war and remind themselves that it took Grant nearly twelve months of seige in front of Petersburg with greatly superior numbers before he could break Lee’s lines and start him in retreat for Appomatox. And both sides were entrenched then pretty much as they are now in France. TR TR T It is deeply to be regretted that what promised to be the most pleas- ant and successful reunion of the *F]orlda division of Confedcrate vet- erans ever held should have been marred by the sudden death of Com- rade McGregor of Tampa in the Au- ditorfum this morning. He was a worthy and kindly old veteran proud of his comradeship with the men who wore the gray, and that he should have died among them fifty Years after the fighting censed when they were in peaceful reunion in their home State, gives a dramatic touch to his last moments in keep- ing with the traditions of his order. — O ONCE MORE TO THE . . MAN-EATING SHARK THEORY The other day we noted a local item in the Pensacola Journal to the effect that a big shark hLad been killed in the bay there and in its stomach had been found the leg of a man who had disappeared a few nights before, after leaving the navy yard in an open boat. Some time be- fore that the Journal in an editorial expresred, the conviction that the popular notion that sharks attacked and devoured living human beings in the water was a delusion and that there was no authentic instance of the kind on record. Commenting on this the Telegram called atten- tion to the shark story in our con- temporary and remarked that it seemed to disprove the shark the- ory of that paper. To this the Jour- nal replies: “Our contemporary is mistaken in the Journal's position. Thig paper has never said that a shark would not eat a dead man. What the Jour- nal has contended is that the so- called “man eating shark”—the kind that is believed to attack live men and drag them down, does not exist, at Jeast in these waters. .But the Journal has never said that dea. men were immune from these sea-| scavengers. A shark will of course eat dead man-meat just as quick as it will eat any other kind of meat, anZ in the case cited the man was undoubtedly dead before the shark had the temerity to tackle him. Will not the Telegram kindly make the proper correction in this case?” We gladly give space to our con- temporary’s reply to the Telegram, but in the present state of the evi- dence:we are not sure that.there is any ‘“‘correction” on our part to make. If the man was dead before the shark bit off his leg, then the Journal's theory that the mam-eat- ing shark is a myth is not disproved by this case, but is the Journal sure that he was dead before his leg was taken off? The story we read of- fered that only as a conjecture and there seemed to be no clear evidence on the subject. Evidently the man was thrown out of his boat at night when he was alone, but was he drowned or did the shark get him first? We want to belleve with the Journal, for it is ‘much miore com- fortable to think that way, but the evidence doesn't seem to be conclu- Sive in this case so far as we have seen ih. in. the Journal. S S——— Tke Pensacola Equal Suffrage As- sociation seems to he after more than votes for women and is diversi- fying its activities to the extent of Dpassing resolutions condemriung State’s Attorney Stokes far opposing bail for Mrs. Floren:z McGowan, indicted for murder in that city. ‘The ladies should remember that it 'was the judge, not the State’s attor- ney, that refused the bail and rot make the latter a vicarious sa-rifice in the case. And don’t get after the lourt too roughly, either, for srme of ikese Florida judges are thin- skinned about their decisions. e The general elections throughout the Union are only a few days away, and with thirty-four United States senators, twenty-eight governors and a member of the House of Rep- .resentatives from every congression- al district in the United States to be elected, it will be observed that the occasion is a very critical one for the Democratic party. If the Re- publicans win it will mean a Demo- cratic president and a Hhostile Con- gress, and that will be bad for the whole country not less than for the party in power. But we feel sure that the Republicans will not win to the extent of giving them a ma- jority in the House, for the mag- nificent record of constructive legis lation made by the Congress just adjourned will not fail to commend itself to voters of Intelligence re- gardless of party and they are very flikely to give the continued controll of legislation to a party that has done so well. Add to this the su- perb record of President Wilson that hag drawn even the fangs of the most venomous Bourbons of the opposition and won the approval not only of this country, but of the whole world, and the Democratic party has a case as strong as any that a party ever went pefore the people on and there is little reason (to fear defeat.

PERSSIE NEESEtN THEY ALL DEMAND IT _ Lakeland, Like Every City and Town in the Union, Receives It People with kidney ills want to be cured. When one suffers the tortures of an aching back, relief is eagerly sought for. There are many rem- edies today that relieve, but do not cure. Doan’s Kidney Pills have brought lasting results to thousands. Here is Lakeland evidence of their merit. Frank Ulmer, S. Filorida St., Lakeland, says: “My back ached and I had a heavy fecling across my loins that kept me in misery. I knew that my kidneys were not acting right, as T had to pass the kidney secretions every little while. 1 did not pay much attention to the trou- ble at first, but it kept getting worse and when someone suggested that T try Doan’s Kidney Pills, T did. In two days T could see a change for the better. Before I had finished one box, I was completely cured.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same tha: Mr. Ulmer had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. Green; J. B. Beal, W.. H. Peeples, Wm. Bowen, Wauchula; B, H.
