It created an ‘International Commis- sion of Inquiry’ for this purpose. It procured the participation in it ot‘ citizens of Austria, France, Germany, Great Britain, Russia, and the Unit-| ed States. The report has the tone | of an authoritative pronouncement. It finds that many of the rules of in- ternational law were violated by each of the belligerents. 1t says intolerance and anti- social management’ have given to Greece and Serbia a bad name vefore the world.’ “A Serbian newspuper denounccl inquiries of tha Commission as Seberian sov- ereignty, saying that, having had no consent from the government to make them, it was an inadmissible arbitration. “The Commission itself suggests that such an investigation would be more satisfactory if prosecuted by a body of men appointed by public authority, and obsefves that if its work led to any such proceedings it ‘would find there a recompense for the ungrateful task undertaken at the risk of reawakening animosity and drawing down upon itself re- proaches and attacks. That such animosity was in fact reawakened by its report is only too plain. “Another book, prepared or cir- culated under the auspices of the Carnegie Endowment, is Professor Dunning’s ‘British Empire and the United States.’ This contains quite lieve, where do all the homely mar- a number of rather rough character- yied women come from,” asks the Oczale Banner.

Ry SRy A good many people are taking the matter of State division more seri- ously than ever before. Such di- vision, we believe eventually will come. There are many good reas. ons for it, and if the people were given an opportunity for expression, we believe a majority would be found to favor the proposition. —o An unusual number of shocking autombile acczidents are reported from various points in the State. Of course, there are more automobiles than ever before, and, naturally, more accidents; yet many of the lat- ter could have been averted by a little more care in operating the ma- chines. 7, CHEEE It is not too early to begin to think about and plan for next sea- son’s county fair. The premium lists should be printed and distribut- ed among the farmers by planting time next fall, so that crops may he grown with special reference to making some fine exhibiis of fruits and vegetables. Qi Under some verses he printed on jzations of utterances by our public men in directing the course of our foreizn affairs. Positions taken by our Secretary of State, in regard to the Venezuelan question, for in-‘l stance, are referred to as resting on | ‘audacious and arrogant dogmas,’ | and expressed in a manner ‘some- what coarse and repulsive.’ “Such epithets have a double force when appearing under the stamp of approval of a vast and world-wide agency for the promotion of peace between nations, having its seat in the country whose official attitude towards another is thus sharply criticized. “Stil] more of course, is language of this kind out of place in diplo- matic dispatches. “A government that would avoid occasions of war, when communicat- ing with foreign Powers, should omens op -nirwex - GIPREME COURT JUSTICE Before the word ‘“jitney” was applied to a bus, it was the name of a five cent piece, and came to have its present meaning by a pro- cess of transition quite common in | the history of language, the term for the fare being amplified till it meant the vehicle for whose use the “jitney” or nickel was paid. At least that is the usual explan- ation, and it is perhaps accurate enough for everyday purposes. But it seems there is good deal of “jit- ney” etomology besides this easy so- lution of how the word attained its modern significance. A correspondent of the Literary Digest, writing from British Colum- bia, says “jitney” was a colloquial- ism used in Glasgow, Scotland, more than fifty years ago. As employed .by the Glasgow Scotch it appears "that “jitney” did not mean a coin but was used to designate a trifle ,or small ‘ object. Another writer says the word is of Russian origin, and was the name .of a Russian coin. But this is flatly contradicted by an authority on Muscovite literature,, who asserts that there is no such coin in Russia, and assigns another meaning to the word. vestigator avers that the word in its present form is relatively new, but that its root, “jit" as signifying five cents, is fully a century old. Others who profess to know what they are talking about attribute the word to Hindustan, Mexico, Japan, | the West Indies, Louisiana French vernacular, Kentucky and the Lon- don East End. A Kansas City man says “jitney” is a circus term. Two or three inquiries ascribe its origin ! to a negro dialect, and a somewhat ' 5000rd with our feelings, picturesque reminiscence attributes its early publicity to the actors in a | minstrel show, who heard the word in Louisiana and adopted it. «“Who shall decide when doctors: disagree?” There may be a grain of | truth in all the theories about “jit-' ney,” for contradictory as they ook, it is by no means impossible to rec- oncile one with the other. There is no study more curious and paradox- ljal than that which relates to the source of language, and if words identical with common English may be stumbled on, as they sometimes are, in Oriental dictionaries, why can not “jitney” be at once Europ- ean, American and Asiatic? The wonder is that in all this discussion nobody seems to have credited it to the gypsies.—St. Augustine Record. — The new Dodge touring car, laree, roomy, with all the latest improve- ments, electric lights, electric start- er, demountable rims, one extra rim, a beauty, for only $850 delivered measure its words, for they are the words of all its people. “It should measure them by sin- cere consideration for those to whom they are addressed it should meas- ure them by standards of idealism, —the idealism of courtesy and of good faith; the idealism of justic, that is, of justice to all, of which justice to its own land is only a Lakeland.

The expression of idealism should harmonize with the thought that it sets forth.” : Hello, 4 7 cans Baby Pet & osculation ,Editor Gallemore of the Bartow Record, naively promises “more kisses next week—Editor.” The ladies are all eagerly waiting, we are sure, though they doubtless think the editor is very slow to put off this delightful pastime for a whole week. -0 1t is passing strange to us why there should be so much wrangling up at Chattanooga about the course of the Dixie Highway. The shortest and most direct route to Lakeland, it seems, should be the prime con- sideration with everybody. In fact, Lakeland seems to us to be the chief reason why there should be a Dixie Highway. -0 Allie sunburst counten- ance is shining forth from the news- papers, by which token it is known to all and sundry that Allie is an aspirant for the job of State comp- troller.

Anzie's i Perhaps the most valuable sense in the world is a sense of humor, notwithstanding that the solemn @sses monopolize most of the honors in this life. Gilchrist has the sense of humor splendidly developed, and that's one reason we like to see him in State politics. Tle may lose some votes by it, but it is none the less one refreshing spot in the Sahara of arid political commonplaces that make up the usual campaign. When we announced that a second newspaper had been wished on Fort Meade a few wecks ago, we stated that two papers could not live in that field. We did not expect our prediction to be borne out so speed- ily, but this week's Leader an-| nounced that it has absorbed the newcomer, the latter going out of existence after a brief and precari- ous existence.
