Horrors piled on horrers! The great city of Antwerp in flames; hundreds of thousands of ruined, panic-stricken people crouching in terror amid the rain of bursting bombs or flying for refuge to Hol- land or wherever they can find a shelter, there to starve in lands without food enough for their own inhabitants. And most sinister of all, Germeny has at last a base for her attack on England and her chief ad- miral announces that he will dare the British fleet and attempt a des- cent upon the English coast. If hc succeeds the Germans will do their best to do for England what they have done for Belgium and devour it with sword and flame. ey The Inverness Chronicle formally affirms in head-letter t§pe that “Ed- itors are Human."” Doubtless this is true, but we have sometimes thought that the presence of the angelic streak in some of them was the only conditicns, | THE EVENING TELEGRAM, LAK ELAND, FLA., OCT. 10, 1914.

Subject, way to account for the cheerful and healthy philosophy they continue to preach when they see so much of the meanness and littleness of hu- man nature. Doubtless their faith is sustained by the well-known fact that there are many more good men in every community than the other kind, and resentment and spite and falsehood and slander are confined to a comparatively small bunch whose influence in the long run never hurts an upright man nor a worthy cause. ) B AR s The Tampa Tribune ecays that “the first game of the world’s base- | ball series produced a genuine sur- | prise throughout all fandom.” Near- ly all, but not all. Our baseball pre- dictor informs us that he was not surprised and he furthermore says that Connie Mack’s star is slanting rapidly down the western horizon ready to disappear and the end of the series will find the Boston Braves on top. There iz a subtle psychology in baseball as in other matters which fixes things so that when the world gets a little ennuied of a monotony of victory for a pam- pered hero, a big surprise is due to happen about that time. Recollect what happened to John L. Sullivan at New Orleans; likewise to Napol- eon at Waterloo, to say nothing of that affair between David and Go-; liath? -~ O Last Tuesday the people of Geor- gia were called from their occupa- tions to go to the polls and vote upon an amendment to the constitution which would raise the wages of the judge of one of their courts, the legislature having no power to do so. So much for a back- number constitution framed by a convention which didn’t have confi- dence enough in the intelligence and integrity of the legislature of Georgia to permit it to fix the sal- ary of a judge. There is a popular superstitution in this country that our constitutions are the sum of all wisdom, infallible instruments, too sacred to be touched, but as they are made by mere men no more in- spired than the rest of us the in- fallibility theory is a fiction that has outlived its usefulnecs. There should be the leas® amount of legis- lation in the organic law of any land consistent with the true pur- pose of a constitution, and matters of detail vitally affected by chang- inig conditions should be kept out of such instruments and left for the various legislatures to take care of. It is just as unwise for a State con- stitution to fix salaries for State of- fices as it would be for the federal constitution to fix ene saiaries of federal offices, but fortunately the framers of the latter instrument had too much good judgment for that and they very properly left the mat- ter for Congress to regulate. The constitution which commands the least respect and does the mest harm is the one that carries the most leg- islation in it. At the November election in Florida we will have an opportunity to wipe out one of the absurd and archaic requirements ol our own constitution by voting for an amendment to give the legisla- ture the power to fix the salaries of our judges, and that amendment ought to be adopted.

Allen, who was appointed as receiver for the Florida Fanciers’ Association several months ago, fol- lowing the failure of J. H. Wendler to settle the accounts of the organ- ization after their poultry show, has wound up the affairs of the usocla-' tion, paying all bills. Creditors got' forty cents on the dollar, and tak- ing into consideration the condltlonl the association was in, they can con- sider themselves lucky. ' J. H. Wendler, of Lakeland, who acted as secretary and treasurer of | the association, has never made any statement to the directors of what money was collected by him, and it has been quite a task for Mr. Allen ! to settle the accounts in the face! of this. He declined to state the to- tal amount of the settlements,— Tampa Times. ‘ HOMES FOR VETERANS The following have expressed their desire to entertain the number of veterans set opposite their names: Mrs. J.
