Star. But these two esteemed contem- poraries got ahead of us and we pre- & nt their views on the subject, with marked preference for what the Star has to say about it. Says that paper: ““A great many people are abusing the State of Georgia, and some of them have written to President Wil- oon, asking him to turn that State out of the Union because an 11-year- old boy has been sent to prison for three years for stealing a five-cent bottle of Coca Cola. Investigation r veals that the boy is an incorrigible, the bottle of (‘oca cola was only ne among many thefts, and be is in a reformatory instead of & peniten- tiary, and will be discharged when Le xives promise of improvement.” The Tampa Times takes a very dif- ferent view and says: H ‘““The action of that Georgia court In sentencing a 13-year-old boy to eleven years' imprisonment for steal- . ing a five-cent bottle of ginger-pop, kiyn, N.

I look for the recognition by the master of the true values in the men, for a larger faith in our own brains, for an increase of our courage, for an tbolition of much that divides and for the coming of much that shall unite. "I hope for the time when the pay- roll will not be thought the measure of cost, but when that shall be con- trolled by the value of men and by the quality and quantity of thelr product.

Public opinion will not tolerate maintaining them at the cost of those who toil. The class of those who claim profits guaranteed by law, separating them from others by this privilege, gnay, indeed must, disappear. ‘The prosperity of the nation does not depend upon the making of profits ®y any part of it. We shall be hap- pler far when the temptation so to do shall have been removed and stead- fastness shall replace cowardice and eapital shall deal with labor as an slly, not an antagonist.” (R, W—— That former President Madero is dcad and that he dicd by violence is pot disputed, but how he died, where %o died and who killed him are ques- tions which scem likely to go into Ristory along with the mystery of the Man in the Iron Mask. The very Jatest story vouched for by an inti- mate friend of Madero Is that he was murdered In the palace and, to mis- Jead the pudlic, his dead dody was put in an automobile and taken t. the penitentiary, outside of which it ®8s riddled with bullets by an al- Joged attacking party. The story sounds fishy. But no matter how Madero was killed, the irresistible ference from all recent Mexican his- tory is that country is unfit for self- government and needs a doss with an fron hand. ——— Secretary Bryan didn’t heritate to repeat In Chicaco his “blazing in- discretion,” as characterized by a London paper, that Ireland would have home rule In two years. Inter- mational diplomacy is full of hum- buggery and hypoericy and Mr. Bry- a8 having swung a free tongue all Ris life hasn't yet learned that Sec- petary Bryan must put a curb on that unruly little member when talking on St. Patrick’s Day lest he may tread oa the corns of old John Sull. { lization, sud, while the great mass of ! our boys are sound at the core, there is an alarming number of tlm.' mostly the products of city life, In‘l whom the moral sense seems to have little development and the Apache, instinct leads straight to crime.

B The Tampa Tribune pays the fol- lowing tribute to J. M. Cathcart, Jr., a well known South Florida news- paper man, who has many friends in Polk county, and the Telegram warmly endorses this deserved praise of a fine young man whose promotion mentioned by the Tribune is a source o! satisfaction and pride to the press gang of Florida generally: “Friends throughout South Flor- fda of ‘J. M. Cathcart, Jr., were pleased to learn that he had been appointed clerk of the Senate com- mittee on printing, in addition to his other duties as secretary to Sen- | ator Duncan U. Fletcher. Mr. Cath- cart's success at Washington has been very gratifying to all who know him, and especially to the Tribune, with which paper he was connected when he was appointed by Senator Fletcher.
