The kind of women who have a housefull of babies are seldom affected with this disease. The ‘practice among girls of kissing puppies does not al- ways develop “dog mouth,” but some- times leads to a violent and dis- astrous attack of matrimony. —_— Teaching a child one thing from text books and allowing him to do another doesn't set well with the St. Petersbarg’ Independent, nor should it with and intellectual person. Care of the body, thinks the Independent, should be the first thing taught a child, but it says: “Go into any pub- lic school and you'll find children bending over desks in unventilated rooms reading in a book that only pure air should be breather. The child rushes home to eat his lunch faster than a dog would eat and then rushes back to school to study the value of proper mastication. With fields and woods at hand he stays in- side to pore over text books of bot- any. The rational school will have a few books, but many half days out of doors. The cost of a single dread- nought would establish such a school in every city in the State of Florida. Pensacola Journal. Seldom do poets get their just de- serts, but we take pleasure in chroni- caling one instance, at least, when a certain one did. It was a Missouri man who had a hog killed by a train In attempting to collect for the hog he wrote: “‘Dear Sir: My razor-back strolled down your track a week ago today. our twenty-nine came down the line and snuffed his life away. You can’t blame me, the hog, you see, slipped through a cattle gate; 8o kindly pen a check for ten, the debt to liquidate.” He received the fol- lowing- reply: “Old twenty-nine came down the line and killed your hog, we know, but razor-backs on railroad tracks quite often meet with woe. Therefore, my friend, we can- not send the check for which you pine. Just plant the dead, place o'er his head, ‘Here lies a foolish swine.” —-Pensacola Journal. . There iz but one way to attract people to your towns and that is to let them know what you have to offer. If the offer is attractive and you can deliver the goods, it will pay you to push it, and there is but one good way: through the medium of printer’s ink. A small advertise- ment in one of the big magazines will bring vou plenty of inquiries and as soon as a name is received you should subscribe for your local paper for the inquirer, thus letting him know what kind of a comunity you have by his study of your local news and happenings.—Florida Grower. Henry M. Flagler, Florida's great- est developer, celebrated his eighty- second birthday yesterday. Many telegrams of congratulations were re- ceived during the day from his many friends. FINE SHOW LAST NIGHT. **The best show of the season’ was the verdict of the pleased audience who gathered last unight to witness the *“Third Degree’ at the Ilerron theater. This play is strong and em- otional and each member of the cast filled tReir roles in a most admirable manuer. That the play has been a factor {or good is evidenced by the tact thai since this play was launch- od @ little over a year ago, sweating and abusing of prisoners has been restricted in several states and Cem- missioner Bii; am of the New York pelice was fu.ced to resign on ac- ¢ s pivEn | 3ia of police connti of thi brutal puablicily methods. Chier Iohler of Cleveland, after witness- ing a performance at the Eueclid Avenue Theatre in that city, an- that no would be questioned until vounced more prisoners counsel had been appointed. The plot of the “Third Degree™ built around a youth, the son of a is [man who is a great social and finan-| cial power. The father, a prominent man in the smart set, disowns his own son on discovering he has mar- ried a girl whose father has gained much unpleasant notoriety in police annals of New York. The girl, real- izing her position, has made a gal- lant struggle to win the respect of the world through her fine character and natural ability. The young hus- band, disowned by his father, scorn- ed and rebuffed on every hand by his friends, who assert that he has made a mistake and that his marriage is a mesalliance, resorts to drink and dissipation. The story deals with a crime which, by reason of the quick, impulsive judgment of the police heads, results in fastening the guilt on an inno- cent man. Finding they must make good their first suspicions, they bend every effort to the one end-—that of fastening the chain of guilt on their victim. The method of the police department, together with the power- ful influence of the press are vividly shown. . For the first time on any stage, the audience is treated to a visual demonstration of the work- ings of the detective department of a large city. As clearly and dis- tinctly as were the®orkings of the powerful finance and political bodies in “The Lion and the Mouse,” so are the nefarious practices of the police discussed in “The Third Degree,” even in a more vivid and interesting manner, Charles Klein, author of *“The Third Degree” and other successes, makes no secret of the manner in which he endows his characters with virility and life. He admits frankly that he takes them from real life. He graciously acknow!edges that “Mrr. Brewster,” the impressive and cognent constitutional lawyer in his latest play, “The Third Degree.”’ is none other than Joseph H. Choate, the well known New York lawyer and late United States minister to England. Then, too, it is an open secret that Annie Jeffries, the her- oine in the same play, has her pro- totype in a young woman employed in a paper box factory in Boston, who was discarded by her wealthy husband because she was not suffi- ciently polished for his set. As for the gruff, unrelenting police captain, his double can be found in almost any large city. THE YOUNG YEAR. 1 wish you a happy year, but it will not help 1 fear, if you don't get out and hustle in the good old-fashioned way: all the wishes in the land will not help you if you stand mooning liked a locoed gander while the others put up hay. Now the new year's ushefed in and a lot of boys will win fame and honor by the bushel ere it runs its course and dies, dut they won't be standing dumb waiting for a snap to come; they'll be busy as the bumblers—so will you, if you are wise! Oh! 1 wish you peace and health, all varieties of wealth, but I don't believe you'll have them if you don't get out and dig; get up early in the morn, saw your wood and shuck your corn, write your pame in golden letters on the shin- ing thingmyjig. You will find this role correct—every man's the archi- tect of his fortunes on this planet; and while wishes help along. he won't win the cherished goal, won't acenmulate a roll, till he goes and does his duty with a whoopsydoodle song.— Walt Mason.

(By Associated Press.) New York, Jan. 3.—Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey ad- dressed the National Democratic Club here tonight on the topic “The Democratic Party and the Tariff. Once again, Mr. Wilson said, the tariff had become “the chief and nost critical question of a campaign which must decide the policy of our sovernment, not ouly in this great matter, but in regard to a score of things which touch the general ad- justments of our life.” He continued in part: “Our tarcifl policy has net for sev- eral generations been based upon any principle whatever, but only upon 2 system of favoritism, of patronage, of arbitrary fosterage by the Federal government, “The strength of American in- dustry lies in the skill and intelli- gence of the American workman, and the capacity of American superin- tendents and managers, and the effi- ciency and the glory of the worklng-: man depend upon all the moral and | physical elements involved in lhe; circumstances of his employment. | *“If this country is to be the snug harbor for those who are at a dis- advantage in the markets of the world, why should it not also by the' convenient method of comblnation.‘ be a refuge for those who are also | at a disadvantage in the markets of | America itself. Are there not evl-‘, dences that it has become just that? | Have not great combinations recent- ! ly effected in this country brought! about just such a result? Of a dozen ' mills or factories brought together in ] a single trust or combination, there | is always a very considerable variety | in the so-called cost of production. ! In some the machinery has not beeni brought up to date; the plant is not | built in a way to lend itself to the most efficient methods of production; the market is not quite so accessi- | ble; the source of raw materials is more difficult of access. Again and again it has happened that after the combination was effected the less ef- ficient factories and mills were closed down and only the more effi- cient continued in operation; but ! the business as mewly had to carry the cost of the original merger of the inefficient mills and factories. They were probably put inte the combination at a figure greatly exceeding their real value. | _“This figure enters into the isuue of the securities of the corporation; the profits must be made upon those figures If the stockholders are to get dividends; and so the country must carry for an indefinite period ineffi- cient establishments which have been | actually closed and put out of busi- ness, And this very process itself shows the futility of any attempt to base duties upon “cost of production.’ “When America was in her in- fancy; when her resources were un- developed; when her industries were | at their beginning; there was much | to be said for a system of artificial stimulation and protection. But long after that period was passed, and that reason for the maintenance of | the system of protection cut away, if was maintained upon other theo-| ries and with other purposes, and it has grown until it has become a veri- | table incubus, not merely upon the consumer, but upon the business of the country itself; and on it have| been built up great combinations and monopolies, which have drawn upon themselves universal condemnation. “We are rich enough, we are safe | A stirring scene in the last act of Geo.
