Some Day.
The south has been a puzzle to Re
publican party leaders. It Is "still a
puzzle to them. Roosevelt felt ' sure
that he had broken the "solid south"
when he visited the southern people
and was given such an enthusiastic
welcome. He appointed a few Demo
crats, and near-Democrats to import
ant positions and thought the battle
was won. He awoke later.
President Taft had a similar attack.
He came to the south; he played golf;
he ate the Georgia "possums, and was
treated like one of us. He patted him
self on the head and said. "I did It."
But to add a clincher to his work he
had to get a secretary of war from the
ranks of southern Democrats.
The secretary has resigned and his
place is taken by one of Teddy's own
making and Teddy, by the way, seems
to have abandoned all of his pro
gressive ideas and become one of the
"old guard'' once more.
President Taft cried aloud against
the solidity of any one section for a
certain party. In the south his words
fell on stony ground, but in his own
fertile fields they sprang up and his
advice has been taken. In Republican
strongholds Democracy is springing up
In many Instances.
' More than likely the . public will
never know why Mr. Dickinson re
signed. "We can only imagine, but the
reasonable conclusion is that President
jTaft has found that Mr. Dickinson
leant do anything to help his cause
next year, and that Mr. Stimson might
be able to bring the party in New York
together again. 'And then it might be
very embarrassing to have a near
Democrat In the cabinet next year
when the campaign is in progress.
Maybe he would want to send the cab
inet officers out to make speeches and
Mr. Dickinson might balk at making
Republican speeches.
The solidity of the south has con
tributed to a large extent to the, spread
f Democratic ideas everywhere. Peo
pie have wondered why the south has
always been steadfast to the doctrines
of Democracy, and have "investigated
'.these doctrines and have found that
they, are right. 1 -
' We do not believe that any more
baits will be handed out by the Re
publicans in the form of federal ap
pointments. They have learned that it
does not help their cause. They are
' beginning to learn that hospitality
does not mean a change of heart and
'that they must give the south up as a
hopeless task.
The Deep Water City
Did Its Part.
This little talk is not intended for
the uninformed, but for those who may
have read the Jacksonville Metropolis.
It evidently does not keep up with the
happenings of the state or, worse still,
wants to make the people of Pensacola
appear as a cheap crowd. In its Sat
urday issue it says:
A canvass of the state. Jacksonville
' excepted, for the battleship Florida
liver service fund, resulted in the col
lection of only 15,500. Evidently the
people of Florida are not enthusiastic
about this project. Tampa Tribune
The "Jacksonville spirit" can be relied
upon to produce the remaining $4,500,
and the burden will fall heavier on
Jacksonville than on the entire state.
Considering the fact that the service
will be presented in Pensacola harbor,
the contributions of the "Deep Water
City" are remarkably liberal, aren't
they? Years will pass before the bat
tleship Florida can reach Jacksonville.
.- If it should come to a show down we
Relieve Jacksonville would have pro
vided the whole ten thousand. Jack
sonville is always liberal when it
comes to doing anything for the state,
but. there are othera
When the appointed agent, who
made the trip over the state came to
Pensacola. he remarked upon the lib
erality of Pensacola people, and his
visit was cut short on account of col
lectins the money in a shorter time
than he expected to do it. He said he
could have collected twice the amount.
but it was not the intention of the
committee in charge of the work to al
low one city to contribute more than
Its share. That was why Pensacola
people did not contribute any more. .
- According to the Tampa Tribune.
$5,600 has been contributed outside of
Jacksonville. As ten thousand is what
the silver' service will cost and the
legislature, has provided sufficient
funds to make up the differences in
the amount contributed and the ten
thousand, it is a little hard to under
stand why Jacksonville feels called
upon to provide so much.
be Interesting to note the difference
between the amount Pensacola and
Jacksonville contributed.
And we wish to state, to the com
mittee in charge of the fund that. If
Pensacola has not done Its share, we
will come up with the amount they
think necessary at any tlmi.
Pensacola should supply West Flor
ida and southern Alabama with all the
commercial fertilizer used in these sec
tions. Fertilizer factories pay . big
dividends , and give employment to
those that contribute to the business
houses. This is the kind of industry
the Deep Water City needs.
Some one has said that Chief Jus
tice White's decision in the Standard
Oil case was an example of "exquisite
English." Even with such an en
dorsement Uncle John D. can't see
anything good m the decision. Every
word of it sounds punk to him.

NEWS AND VIEWS
BY THE STATE PRESS
Unseemly Action.
The exhibition of temper furnished
by Senator Flournoy in his insulting
attack upon the governor was very
unseemly uncalled for and undignified.
A harsher term might legitimately be
applied to it, for he took advantage of
his, and the governor's, position to
insult the latter in such a manenr as
would have been personally resented
had not the official positions of the
parties rendered such a thing in-possible.
The governor certainly had the
right to communicate with the legisla
ture in the manner chosen by him; in
fact, the constitution and laws of the
state make it his duty to do so; and
though at times the matter of the
chief execulve's communication may
seem ill-conceived, and even nonsensi
cal, the position whence it emanates
entitles It to respectful consideration.
We have not always agreed with the
governor In his recommendations to
the legislature; but we, in common
with others, have given him credit for
honesty and good intentions. What
ever may be thought of his policies
and his manner of magnifying the im
portance of his functions in the matter
of legislation, none can deny that he
is patriotic, solicitous In the extreme
for the honor and welfare of the peo
ple, vigilant and faithful. He has been
wrong sometimes right very often;
and no one can deny that in energetic
devotion to the interests of the state
he Is the peer of any governor that
Florida ever had.
Senator Flournoy owes it to himself
to make all the reparation possible for
the indignity Inflicted by him; and the
senate also, as a body, it seems to us,
has a duty to perform in the prem-ises.T-Tampa
Times.
Florida History.
Duplicate bills have been Introduced
in both houses of the legislature mak
ing it the duty of the governor to
complete the historical archives of the
state by copying from the "archives In
Washington all matters relating to the
history of the state and her people"
which may be found in the files or
records of any of the national depart
ments or offices and which may be of
sufficient Interest or value; and to
this end to employ some suitable per
son, of experience in work of that
kind.
This bill embodies the correct idea.
In order that our state should assume
her rightful place in history it is es
sential that her story should be re
liably written, completely and in de
tail, which has never yet been done.
One reason for the meager mention
of Florida in the national annals Js
the paucity of material available for
a reliable and complete narrative.
Historians had rather restrict their
stories than to base them upon Insuffi
cient or untrustworthy material; and
they will not bestow upon our state
the space and attention she merits un
til her record is made complete and
easily accessible.
We need these records too for the
correction of error. By reason of the
lack of data false statements have
crept in, and by repetition without
contradiction have been multiplied in
number and increased in importance
until now, in many parts. Florida's
history needs to be rewritten.
Private individuals seeking mate
rials have shrunk from the gigantic
task of searching through the count
less volumes in which these materials
have heretofore been hidden, and the
result has been the brevity and unre
liability of existing histories.
As the effect of the adoption of this
act there would be a reliable and
compast compilation of all valuable
and applicable material and its placing
in the proper office In the state capl
tol, where it would be easily accessible
to all who might desire to consult It.
In the interest of a complete narra
tive and trustworthy statement of the
history of our state, we hope the bill
may pass. 'Tampa Times.
Compliments Exchanged.
They have some language over in
the Florida legislature. Mr. Dougherty,
who says that he tried Georgia for
twenty years and admits that he
"probably left it for the good of the
state," declared last Friday that he
"would rather be a palmetto tree on
the banks of the Halifax river in
Florida than to be a bishop of the
Methodist church in Georgia." Mr.
Angle, on the other hand, did not
seem to think Florida had gained much
by the accession of Mr. Dougherty,
for presently he shook his hand in Mr.
Dougherty's face and pounded upon
Mr. Dougherty's desk and shouted: "I
