Of course it is useless to reason ‘with those people who in the enjoy- ment of their three squares and a good bed to sleep in take a melan. choly pleasure in affirming several times a day to anybody who ' will listen to them that we are now hav- ing the hardest times known in the United States and that they are di- rectly chargable to Woodrow Wilson | and the Democratic administration. But to others not petrified in par. tisan politics and who reason on, facts unbiased by party prejudices : it is not out of place to say that the remarkable readiness with which Florida bonds, county and muni. ! cipal, are sold these days almost at par to northern capitalists is proof of the strongest kind that the al. leged hard times are passing away. Capital—the best of all barometers and easily run to cover when the signs are bad—is investing in these bonds just as though the war in Europe has not paralyzed half of our foreign commerce and incident- ally hurt the country in many other ways, When there is a genuine panic on money runs like & scared rabbit, @and when a long period of real hard times has settled down like a heavy incubus upon all commerce and enterprise that same. capital sticks its nose out timidly and never ventures into the open except when it has a ‘“dead sure thing” in sight. Itprefers to stay in hoarding and wait unti]l the times are normal or rapidly getting so, and that is just what is happening now, for money is over its panic and is coming easily into sound investments in all parts of the country, especially here in Florida. Our exchanges are telling us every week of the sale of Florida bonds for improvement purposes at good figures—better figures than Eng. land, Franch or Germany can sell their great national securities for today—and even the bonds issued by the small sub-divisions of our coun. ties are disposed of without trouble |. for almost par. Large streams of money are flowing into Florida from these sources, and every dollar' of this money is applied to purposes that make work for working men, business for manufacturing estab- lishments and trade for the mer- 1 2 ] chants. they will give a pretty fair rca;!

I worth mentioning. facts it is silly to talk about hard times brought on the country by as a matter of fact conditions are so sound and recuperation going on so rapidly that even the stupendous, staggering blow of the greatest war in history, from whose effect no na- tion is exempt has not been able to do us half the harm of the panics of former years brought on us dur- ing Republican administratins, but which Republicans themselves con- veniently forget all about now or pooh, pooh, as small affairs not This country i all right, sound as a dollar, inexhaustable in re- sources, with plenty of money to be had for good {nvestments, and un- der the administration of the wisest and best president since Lincoln it is at peace with all the nations of the earth—and that peace with honor. ———— Colonel Tom Appleyard, who ought to know, seeing that he has attended all of them, says the session of the State Press Association just closed at Miami, was the best one ever held and a success in all re- spects. Kissimmee was chosen as the place for holding the meeting next year, Chris. Coddrington of the DeLand News, elected president, Oscar Conkling of the Miami Herald, vice-president, J.W. White of the Fraternal Record, treasurer, Harry Brown, of the St. Augustine Record; national committeeman and T. J. Appleyard re-elected secretary. — s They have a real sensation over,stantly and in West Florida and it touches both the seat of State government and the judiciary of Florida. The Pensacola News tells about it is follows: “Charging that W. W. Clark, of Milton, has kept money which he collected for clients, R. Pope Reese, of Pensacola, has sent & voluminous communication to Governor Tram. mell in which he not only protests against the appointment of Clark as judge of the First judicial circuit to succeed Judge J. Emmett Wolfe but claims that Clark should be disbar. red from practice in the courts of Florida. The communication from Mr. Reese is a document of twelve pages and consists of letters from other attorneys in this judicial cir- cuit and some of Clark’s clients . Mr. Clark has not as yet received his commission as judge of this cir. cuit. Yesterday Mr. Reese received a letter from Governor Trammell thanking him for the information which had been sent and asking him to send such other data as could be furnished. Tre governor further stated that if necessary he would write himself direct to the parties mentioned in Mr. Reese’s communi- cation. The parties mentioned, it is said, are in position to give the gov. ernor all of the facts regarding Clark's dealings as an attorney.” RS R SAND OIL ROADS.
