But it's no joke to slander a whole people. PSS S, There will probably be none of the law’s delays in disposing of the case of the negro who murdered the Gardner brothers. Outside of the negro’s confession, there seems to be plenty of circumstantial evidence to convict him. LA e It is “the morning after” with ‘Tampa, but there is probably enough left in the bottom of the barrel to brace her up for the two remaining daye of her Gasparilla solemnities. That Rotary banquet is yet to be pulled off, and it is the prize numher‘ on the program. ISR G e One quart a month for each booze- fighter will be the limit in Alabama after the new law goes into effect in July. What a theme for the elo- quent personal liberty pen of Trum- peter Trice! What an insult to a stomach triple-armored against the aggressions of alcohol and accus. tomed to a quart a day as one of the simple necessaries of life! These prohibitionists in the saddle are ' surely a cruel and a brutal lot—Cos- sacks without mercy. PR The pessimists have another kick coming. Time was when St. Valen. tine’s Day was almost a sensation with its dear reminders of ' love's young dream, two souls with but a single thought, sweet &nonymous messages from heart to. heart, ete., but, look at it now! It might as well be dropped from the calendar, for the world has forgotten it and it has ceased to be a romantic stim< ulus to matrimony. Whither are we drifting? —_————— The Ocala Star puts it neatly when jt says that meking a non- resident pay more for & county hunt- ing license than a resident looks too much like fining a man’for coming to Florida. And yet they do it, we ‘belleve, in all the States, probably on the ground that the citizen con~ tributes by his labor and his taxes to the support of the commonwealth and in equity is entitled to more privileges and immunities than the transient who -gontributes little or nothing. —— We notice in a Florida contem. porary committed to the cause of woman suffrage that Thomag Jeffer- son is credited with saying that “a government is not yet complete that withholds from its most enlightened women what it freely gives to its most benighted men.” That is put- ting the case with rare force in tabloid form and if Mr. Jefferson, the father of the Democratic party, expressed that conviction, the party {tself might commit itself to equal suffrage as a sound Democratic doc- trine. : SO P U The Ocala Banner is precisely right when it says that the Polk County Fair which opens in this city next Monday, “will be an eye. opener,” and that “Jacksonville will have to go some to beat 1t.” All things considered, rolk is the ban- ner county of Florida and our fair, which is growing in excellence every year, while still too young to give adequate ‘pictures of the resources of the county, will have merit enough to be a genuine eye-opener to those people who have prejudged it as a meager and uninteresting exhibit. It is going to be the biggest little fair in the State and Jacksonville herself can come down and get some elegant pointers for the making of the big State fair she has under- taken. —_— The Ocala Banner “fears that our good friend Tom Watson is growing sour and dyspeptic in his old age.” “Growing” is an all too charitable word in that conmection. Tom grew into that estate many years ago and has heen fermenting there ever since. There was a time when he promised to be @ national fizure Both in politics and literature, and equipped as he was with intellect amounting togzenius, tireless enerzy, rich culture and high ambition we bed a vision of him as @ fixed star *of the first magnitude in the South~ ern sky. But at the critical mo. ment in his career, he swerved and mnd, and following the swamp 3 ts of Ris hatesy ‘ejudices and Bigotry, sunk to the level of a mere provincial scold and there he has etuck ever since. His wasted genius wittters amid the much like golddust on a dungheap.

LISTED TO RELIEVE SUNFERING (By Associated Press.) New York, Feb. 15.—The en- listment of the 20,000,000 children of the United States in an army of helpfulness to relieve suffering both in thig country and Europe is the urpose of a movement which is an- fiounced tere by°d’¢ommittee of edu- cators of nation-wide reputation. It includes Charles Wi. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard University; Da. vid Starr Jordan, president of the National Educational Aseociation, and Richard McLaurin, president of the Maseachusetts Imstitute of Tech - nology. . It is the belief of those interested in ‘the plan that evil influences in the schools of the Unied States are arising from the war. “Influences of lying, hatred and murder are mold- ing the lives of America’s 20,000,~ 000 children,” says an announce- ment of the committee’s plans, “which tend to crush out truth, jus tice and love. As a nation we are evading our responsibilities in mnot seriously attempting to counteract these evil influences. #In many of our schools we even forbid all discussion of the war. We cannot, however, hige this war from our children, nor keep its destruc - tive influences from their lives. “With a nation-wide relief move- ment of our children we can turn their minds from destructive mur- der to heipful life giving and build on the terrible need the strongest, most helpful race of men and women the world hag ever known. “The school children are organ-. ized, and can begin immediately on relief work. They can raise at least $1,000,000 without burden on any one as the funds will be raised in small sums—the people’s gift through their chilaren. They can make millions of needed articles of clothing and other things. Working shoulder to shoulder to offset the influences of organized murderous warfare they will feet the quicken. ing, helpful impulse of their great life giving organization—a mighty impulse in their lives and a great example to the world. They will do more to establish international peace and good wil based on kindly acts than years of diplomacy and peace conferences.’’ The plan announced ds that each child earn or make what he gives, or give from what he has, that he may feel he has worked or sacrificed to help. The fund is to be known as the “Children of America’s nd,” which boards of education, superintendents, teachers and others are urged to address at Oak Hill, Newton Center, Mass., for working detalls. One half the fund is to be used to velieve local suffering and will be distributed- through home charities ap far as possible. Thne other half will be distributed to the sufferers in Europe by the national commit- tee. Arrangements have been made for the free transportation to Bel. glum all gifts. of non-perishable food clothing in packages welghing 20 pounds or more. It is announced that the plans for carrying out the movement have been based on suggestions received from over 5,000 practical educators. They. call for free use of the public school buildings for entertainments to raise funds; the co-operation of teachers in getting the children to earn small sums out of school hours; the manufacture of useful gifts by boys in manual training classes; and one day a week devoted by all girls in sewing as a part of their scohol work. THEY ALL DEMAND IT Lakeland, Like Every City and Town in the Union, Receives It People with kidney ills want to be cured. When one suffers the tor- tures of an aching back, reliet is eagerly sought for. There are many remedies today that velieve, but do not cure. Doan’s Kidney Pills have brought lasting results to thousands. Here is Lakeland evi. dence of their merit. rank Ulmer, S. Florida Lakeland, says: “My back ached and T had a heavy feeling across my loins that kept me in st., misery . knew that my kidneys were not act 1 trouble at first, but it kept getting worse and when someone suggested that I try Doan’s Kidney Pills, I did. In two days I could see a change for the better. Before I had finished one box, T was completely cured.” Price 50c at all dealers.

McClelland was born in Belfast in 1882. His father’s going on the stage early caused an estrangement died he and his brother were adopt - ed by their grandfather, a Belfast linen manufacturer. The grandfa - ther was sternly religious, and pun- ished the future pastor on one oc - casion for whistling on the Sabbath. The boy was sent to a Quaker school. On his grandfather's death he came to London to make his own fortune when 14 years old. As $1.25 was not enough to keep him, he found a family willing to board him on credit. Soon he found a job as salesman in a book store at 15 shillings a week, then with a big firm of tea merchants, where he be came a secretary to one of the part— ners. This suggested the tea busi-. ness for himself. He found he could make more as a drummer for a wholesale perfumery house. Then it was, at the age of 19, that he de - termined to educate himself. With a capital of $500 he had saved, he entered Nottingham College, where he soon won a scholarship. After taking his B. A. there, he entered New College, London, wheie he was langely supported by scholarships, taking an essay prize for three years and the jubilee meda] 4t the end. The engagement of the Rev. Mc- Clelland to the daughter of Sir An- drew Torrence, formerly M, P., was announced recently.
