The most notable of American duels was that in which Vice-President Aaron Burr killed Alexander Hamilton, first secretary of the treasury, in 1804. During the Revolutionary War non- fatal duels were fought between General Charles Lee a Colonel John Laurens, and between Generals Cadwallader and Jonwa General Lachlan McIntosh mor- y unded Button Gwinnett, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, duel fought in 1777. Andrew Jackson fought several duels before he became president, in one of which, in 1806, he killed Charles Dickin- son and was himself severely wounded. While editor of a St. Louis news- paper, Thomas H. Benton was involved in a number of duels, and killed Charles in 1817. Benton afterward served in the United States Senate. Commedore James Barron killed the distinguished Naval officer, Commodore Stephen Decatur, in 1820. Henry Clay, then secretary of state, fought a harmless duel with Senator John OP Virginia in “1826.

A SOLDIER’S VIEW ; It may be true that military men favor | maintenance of larger armies and navies than the average citizen deems necessary. | But that they want war is not true. No class is more opposed to war than those who must inevitably take part in it when it comes. Particularly is this,true.of those who have experienced the horrors of war. But.military men..who, have seen the slaughter of untrained or partially trained troops are naturally believers in adequate measures of preparedness. As a rule they have little faith in the idea that war is a thing of the past. At the same time they realize that public sentiment is against a large regular military establishment and content them- selves with making the best preparations possible with the means Congress pro- vides. Their attitude is well expressed by Major General Charles P. Summerall, who once said: We have never fought a war with trained and equipped troops, and we never shall do so. It is inconsistent with the form of our government and the psy- chology of our people to maintain ade- quate military preparedness. They would rather pay the price that has followed every wamthan to spend a part of that nb ingpreder@ii gi peace.” IATHAN NOW JUNK are the wittols, and every commiinity’ i&4 cursed with some of this species. | } Too many in public office look upon j their position as one of privilege and not | one of obligation. This is particularly true | of those officials who have enjoyed a long | tenure. If you never speak to people, they | forget your existence. Some places of / business have similar experiences, because | they never speak to the people through advertising, The story is told that ee President €leveland’s second child was born there was no scale available to weigh the new- “Dorminfant. They dug the President’s old fishing scales up from the cellar and weighed the baby in that—and the infant weighed fully 25 pounds! The Gainesville Sun has discarded its editorial page, and in the smaller com- munities this may not be a bad policy; but that an editorial is after all only one person’s expression is not well founded, for the reason that it is, or supposed to be, the theucht of a cross secUlen amy eOu- munity and moreover interpretative i. character. ; Ypioud liner Leviathan, Built in'Gérmauy in 1913, and originally named the Vaterfand schedaféd to make her last ocean voyage this month, from Ho- boken, N. J., to Glasgow, Scotland, to be broken up as junk. In her day the Leviathan was one of the largest passenger ships afloat, and after being seized by the United States at the time of our entry into the World War the ship transported more than 110,000 American soldiers to France. After the war she was for years one of the fastest and most luxurious vessels plying the Atlantic, and could accom- modate 3,400 passengers. It is estimated that at least a million persons took passage on the great ship during her years of ac- tive service. But the able te operate, and for some time befangs being retired in 1934 was losing about $7 000 on each voyage. It is said that only ~ 135 passengers were carried on her last trip. Se, the great ship, which cost 25 mil- lion dollars to build, and on which the government spent several millions to keep in service, has been sold for $732,000. The metal to be salvaged will probably go in- to some of the big guns that will form a jst of Gfeat Britain's vast new arma- ment program. | Moon sets val Betas : Leviathan became unprofte——ae Ht the Fea i Re- THE KEY WEST CITIZEy FEIDAY CHARGES CRUELTY TERRE HAUTE, Ind —Wiliam Wilson, 65, of this city, filed suit for divorce against his 40-year- old bride of a month, charging cruelty.
