C. T. U. women are, ds a rule, busy housekeepers, especially on Satur- day. In answer to our worthy police force, would like to say to point one: It is the first time I ever heard that police were blamed when a boy goes wrong. As a rule the blame is laid where it usually Ccelongs— to the parents. We do not expect the police to keep the children at home nights. This would be im- possible for them to do.

If you don’t see them smoking just ask almcst any- one else who is on the street if they have. “When a bunch of young boys want to play a game of cards, do they go out in the public park and play?’ No, we guess not. But we thought our police were watch- ing other places besides the park. “As to the assertion that officérs on 'the force are betting on the ball game, we will thank any person to bring us proof of this. TUntil that is done our names are clear, and unless there are some changes made on the force they will remain the spot” at these headquarters when it says: “A noticeable improvement is no- ted in the Dade City Banner, re- cently purchased by W.

There is gpace enough to print the matter that suits all tastes and in that lies the strength of the modern daily newspaper. It “has plenty for all classes of readers and that gives it the circulation without which it is a dead engine. i i i The “divine right to rule” of the two kaisers in Europe is in danger of being shot full of holes and per- manently retired as a theory of gov- ernment, as things look according to the latest dispatches; but the divine right of the czar to boss his millions is taking on flesh and strength with every success of the allies.
