SonAlZr S S Lt s P I IS E R STy A touch of nature makes the whole world kin. A dispatch today from the department of agriculture informs us that the foot and mouth disease now raginz among the cat- tle, is communicable to humans. = PR There is a certain degree of amusement in reading the exultant comments of thick and thin Repub- lican papers over the recent ‘“‘crush- ing defeat” of the Democritic party at the polls. A crushing defeat that leaves our side in complete pos- session. of every department of the government is the kind of disaster we can pray to happen with biennial regularity and stand up uunder with hilarious resignation. et Gainesville exults in the prospect of a visit from John Wannamaker, the merchant p rince, in January. Thig being true, we may confidently expect to see Mr. Wannamaker in Lakeland, for it is impossible for us to believe that a man of his rare intelligence and discriminating taste and judgment could get that near to our city of incomparable charms without coming all the way. Gainen- ville will furnish him a delightful stopover; Lakeland will provide the terminal bliss. P | M — Why we so often have the swift Justice of the mob in the South rather than wait on the slow, un- certain processes of the law, is well illustrated in the horrible crime per- petrated in St. Petersburg Tuesday night when tv o negroes attacked an aged white ccuple in their home, murdered the husband, outraged the wife and made their escape. Every effort is being made to capture the two flends, and nobody caregs what happens to them after they are caught, nor how it happens, provid- ed there is plenty of it. Y ) — The St. Petersburg Independent says most wisely and truly: “It is strange how the man not affected by a scandal always insists that the full facts be published. The man who kicks because something is not printed is usuajly the one who gomes around and tries tg suppress a story that affects him.” Newspaper men are so olten cyni- cal philosophers because they have to deal with Jjust such fellows as tj;g' independent referg to—selfish, igno. rant and bigoted boneheads who are constantly illustrating the old story of the man whose ox was gored and can consider no question, moral or intellectual, from any but the single angle of their own selfish ends. The wise newspaper man, ripe in train- ing and experience, views such a person with a large measure of char- ity, realizing that he is the helpless victim of heredity and environment and that it will take about ten gen- erations of favorable evolution to overcome his congenital obstruc- tions and make him over into a real man, broad of view and sound of judgment, who can gauge the mo- tives and conduct of his fellow man by a higher standard than his own selfish interest and evil prejudices. b — Mre. Josephus Daniels, of North Carolina, wife of the secretary of the navy and herself a Daughter of the Confederacy, at the annual! couven- tion of the laiter body in Savannah a few days agn, delivered an address in which the following admirable sentiment was expressed: “Southern women should recog- nize and more fully accept the part they may play in eradicating any lingering animosities between the north and south.” This nation is one and indivisible and is growing more so every day, and any agency or influence which seeks to retard the growth of good feeling between the people of the North and South ig distinetly hurt. ful to both sectioms, especially the latter.
