The Times-Union has been irritat- ed out of its usual indifference to the views of the State press by a re- cent article in the Telegram, in which we expressed frank disapprov-l al of a picture conspicuously dis- played some days ago in the Jack- sonville paper. That picture showed a nearly naked female dancer on the New York stage with just enough drapery about her vo- luptuous limbs to overwhelm in sa- lacious suggestiveness whatever of art might have been otherwise —_—— i The Ocala Star thinks that W.

Blackmon, of Alabama, was born at Lime Branch, Polk county, Georgia, Sept. 15, 1873; mfoved to Alabama at the age of ten; attended public schools and State Normal College at Jack- sonville, Ala., and Doylasville, Ala., claimed for it. “The lines of a beau- tiful young woman' is what the Times-Union calls it, but as that ‘‘beautiful young woman" i3 a per- son of living flesh and blood with a name and history and enveloped in an abundance of piquant gossip to| help out the startling effect of her diaphanous drapery, her “lines” can claim none of the license and munity accorded to symbolical :de imper.onal art, in the et September Morn She must be ap-! praiged for just what she is—an al-1 most naked young woman d:mvin,u.; before mizcellaneous audience in im- | as i i i | a public theater with her nv:n‘-nuk»l in her to chief factor and value edness as the drawing power management. Doubtless there was more or less art in her dancing, but that didn’t draw the crowd; her ‘“lines” did that and as she broke all records in the extent of her displayed naked- ness it is sure that her plain bid to the lower senses of the men in front of her was correspondingly stronger and more successful than her appeal to their artistic appreciation. Such indecency was bad enough before the people in the theater, but to dupli- cate it in the pictures for the press and thrust it before the eyes of mil- lions of men, women and children in the respectable homes of America was certainly worse. Successful defense of that kind of pictorial journalism 1is impossible unless we abandon as outworn rub- bish the limitations imposed by the wisdom and experience of centuries and, holding with Pope that ‘“what- ever is is right” give full welcome to every inridious modern influence distinctly hurtful to the best that is in us and appealing directly to our lower natures, that comes to us veiled as ar* or under some other specious term equally misleading. Naked women of the best social standing danced before Nero in the cause of “art,” and they were the JJegitimate fruits of a civilization so rotten that its stench still endures as an offense and a warning to all subsequent ages. REBHENER, e, “AFTER YOU, DEAR ALPHONSE!" The St. Petersburg Times calls the Bryan primary law in this State “a new revolution.” We are going to elect a senator next year under that law and very few of us know anything abont it. The Times sees in its operation a condition of affairs that will take all the salt and pep- per out of the campaign and make it an affair of Alphonse and Gaston in which excessive politeness of the andidates to each other will be the prevailing feature. Says the Times: “The new ballot. provides that each voter shall mark his first and second choice; and, then if none of | the three has a majority of first choice votes, the low man is dropped, the first and second choice votes of | Martin all sorts of good luck with College; read law there and at the e — of the Mad Mullab and suffered hesvy A gerious disaster has befallen the Somaliland camel corps while carrying out a reconnaissance at o thirty miles southeast of Burao, in the hinterland of the protectorate.

Remember the name — Doan's and take no other. what the Telegram said the other day in condemnation of the picture of an almost naked dancing woman in the Times-Union and says: “The Sun wishes to add its en- dorsement to the above protest of the Lakeland Telegram, and trusts that Florida's leading dailies will show to the other States that the citizens of thig fair State are too high-minded and pure to want such indecent pictures of women in their papers. For the press only pub- lishes what the general public de- mand."” teen years old driving automobiles through the streets of our cities and | towns is not only a direct yiolation | of the State law but is a challenge to fate accepted now and then with profitable results for the doctors and ' { the undertakers. The Florida law says that no person under eighteen vears of age shall drive an automo- bile on a public highway. If that| is not a good law the best way to secure its repeal is to strictly en-| foree it. COL. E. . R. GEEN —_——_—— If natural law tied itself up into | knots as the laws of this country do in the case of Harry Thaw, planets | would be colliding with each other every day and in our light and heat and gravitation arrangements we | would be as the backwoods preacher said of the disturbance following Gabriel’s celebrated horn solo, “in a confused and unsettled state gen- erally.” USRI GRS, the other two are added together, and—the highest total wins. Now, ! Messrs. Fletcher, Gilchrist flnd: Stockton are all men wise in their political generation, and none of! them is goine to guarantee to him-f self a majority of first cholce votes ' over the other two combined.
