L — Pleasant Holt is sentenced to com:« mit matrimony in Atlanta next Tues- day. There have been things said about this gentleman that were not Pleasant, but here’s hoping he and his bride will never lose their Holt on matrimonial bliss. —0 Forest Lake, of Sanford, is a prom- inent candidate for speaker of the next Florida House of Representa- tives. The sylvan beauty of that name ought to get the gentleman some votes—anq then he's a good fellow, too. But he'll have some Hardee opposition. Giiassmie Bartow is going to be the “big noise” of South Florida on the Glor- ious Fourth. Her enterprising citi- 7 .8 are making preparations on a .enerous scale, and there will un- doubtedly be a tremendoug crowd of visitors. 0 The State hotel inspector does nei seem to he giving satisfaction, ac- cording to some of the newspapers, which intimate that he is incompe tent and partial. His name is Messer, anq perhaps he can't help making a mess. 0 The Tarpon Springs Progressive thinks that Congressman Sparkman might surprise Lambright yet by ap- pointing him postmaster of Tampa. Well, Ed doubtless has a good strong heart, but we'd hate to see it testeq by such a surprise as this would give him. —0 The high-brows who are dippy on eugenics and other new-fangled ideas as to the physical betterment of the human race, can probably sat- isfactorily explain that, according to their standards, Julius Caesar, Na- poleon, Alexander, Hannibal, Charle- magne, Pitt anq several other boys Wwho made a little noise in the world, were defectives. At any rate, some of us plain, ordinary flat-footed ginks, who just happened, can take a little comfort in noting the physi- cal Nne-up of the people who made history possible. —0 “Cards of thanks” are doomed in South Florida. Hereafter parties must be thankful to the extent of a dollar or two if they desire the news- papers to convey their thanks—such was the trenq of expression at the initial gathering of the South Flor- ida Press Association. of thanks are useless, and they are a nuisance to newspapers. If you have neighbors who expect to be publicly thanked for the performance of the ordinary offices of humanity when sickness or death enters your home, better move out of that neigh- borhood. People who won't cheer- fully do such things are little better than savages. Also it is highly unnec- essary to erupt into a card of thanks if your wife runs away with a bet- ter-looking man, if your mother-in-| law drops in the lake, or if you get snowed under in a political race. - The Lake know “‘by what authority the Lake- land Telegram cut off Carran whiskers.” As a free-born Ameri- can citizen, standing firmly on our constitutional rights, won for usg by the heroes of '76, who fought, bled and died that the proud flag of freedom shoulg evermore wave over the land of the free and the home of the brave—said land extending from the rock-ribbeq coast of Maine to the golden sandg of California, by jingo; in the firm and abiding faith that our starry must float supreme from the Atlantie to the Pa- cific, from pole to pole, from Seattle to Cape Sable, from Kankakee to Kissimmee, from hell to breakfast, by gad, sah; from all and several of the foregoing considerations, we claim the right to clip the hirsute adornments of any Greaser who does not with proper grace accept our grape-juice, without the aiq or con- sent of any other newspaper on the face of the earth! And we stand ready to enforce this ultimatum, ev- en if we have to call out Major But- ler's Citrus county army, and equip each fiery warrior in the ranks with a trusty lawn mower with the which to run over the faces of the enemy.

Hilles is president of the New York Juvenile Asylum at Dobbs' Ferry and, therefore, in a po- ition to make a close study of boys anq their characters. As a result of a recent investigation he announces that baq teeth make bad boys, and that by patching up the teeth of de- linquent boys he is able to send them back to their parents 90 per cent good, instead of 90 per cent bad. Of course this must be regarded as ex- pert opinion, but most people will prefer to continue in the belief that, it is just the boy in boys that makes them bad.
