HUMANITY'S FAILING.

Editor Baker, of the Gate City
Chronicle, published at Sanford, has
studied human nature to some purpose
if he ne yer writes anything better than
tie sub1oined, which is taken from the
current issue of his paper. 1t so truth
FULLY portrays one defect of humanity
which causes, perhaps, more suferings
and prlvations than any other one
thing, that it seems to us it should
pluck the mote from the eyes of many
readers hence it is given here in full:
Zone of the faults of the times, the
force that keeps some worthy families
poverty stricken and engulfs the bread
winner in a continuous maze of debt
and obligation, is the useless extrava-
gance Of the human race to-day. Thou
sands of people who are least able to
afford it present a constant example
of extravaganza in the poorer walks
of life.
1T is "a curious fact and one worthy
of note, however, that few of those
blamed for extravaganza will &C
knowledge the fault. They vii tell
you-and they seem to believe so-that
they buy nothing save what they are
compelled to have, and are in pressing
need of.
''The enchanting phantom of'style'
is the most conducive element to this
demOralizing and impOverishing idea;
and when to this IS added constitu-
tional Incidence, supporting pot-bel-
lied dignity, the combination becomes
irritatingly contemplate.
Persons with no cash and less credit
swagger like shoddy aristocrats, ape
the manners, the carriage and the dig
mites of the truly modest am genteel,
and assume a virtue though they have
lit not-nor did nature so provide that
they might acquire gentility.
Children whose parents are L.tle
able to afford it, are taught that they
should appear as fashionably dressed
and entertain as the offspring of the
most wealthy citizens.
Mothers strain the family purse in
order to accomplish this purpose with
themselves as with their children, and
men will borrow mOney-when they
are amply able to earn it-for the pur.
pose of keeping themselves and tneil
families up to the fashionable notch o.
dress and in the swim With the fash
ionable set.
Verify, it must be said we are living
in an age Of inflated af1uence and falls
wealth"

IMPORTANT LEGISLATION.

Will you kindly give space to the
following statement, for by so doing
you will not only please many of:.your
readers who have an interest in the
subject but place us under further OBJ
legations by your timely help.
< OF course I refer to the Legislative
work in the interest OF giving Better
protection to girls.
The promise of Senator DimicE and
of Mr.. r. Hudson Burr to present the
bills was secured in February, aH1 the
work of securing endorsements and
names to petitions at once began BY the
W. C. T. U. over the State. One:hun-
dred circular letters each were sent to
physicians, teachers and ministers, and
petition blanks and letter tD all
unions and others likeiy to take en in
terest in the work. Three-fourtas
the physicians and teachers sent ) pc
sonal endorsement, and many :mo
gave their names to petitions, En all
over 1.500 signatures; besides these
there were secured endorsements of
The Weekly Tallahasseean., 1901-06-27
organizations Sepresenting over $500

examinations Eepresenting over $500
more. 1
ne State Prsss Association and the
State Medical Association gave unan-
in1ous vote for 5he work. Both United
states Senatorss and Congressman and
several of our. Crcuit and other
.Iudges endorsed the work, as well as
leading ATTORNEYS. and city officials
and editors.
II is doubtful if any man ever ,Te-
sented a bill SD fully armed Ger the
frav as was Mr. Burr. His usual bus
mess promptness and interest in the
hills led him ta get them enrolled on
the fourth dayi of the session, when
thew wore repArted to the Judiciary
Committee. On the 18th the bill ask
ing that the ag& of protection to girls
o raised froE sixteen to eighteen
wears was repofted favOrably, with a
slight amendmSnt. On the l6th the
COMMITTEES reptirted a rejection Of our
hiII raising "ae$ of consent" from ten
tn fourteen. and gave a so-calIed sub
stitute that hadl not one feature of the
original bill. And retained the ten
years that has ever been and will be
the continued object of attack until 1t
is removed. OIer twenty States have
raised this age lfand in but Two oCners
is it so low.
We do not doubt the good inten-
tions of these hen, nor have we one
word of eensuIe farther than to say
loev have not looked into this mat
ter as thew wifi some time do. Mr..
Rurr's efforts and success in securing
the massage of ahe other bill: deserves
the warmest afatitude of his entire
constituency. al he now has that OF
the women of Che State.
May 20 the bills were introduced IN
the Senate. Tie substitute" was in
definitely postiSoned, in accord with
the wishes of nthe organization that
introduced the abill.
The "age of Protection bill passed
with but two dissenting votes, Sen
ators CottreII, If lne Twelfth district,
and Waoswortk, of the Tenth. On
nav goth this Ewas sent to the Gov
ernor for his signature. To Senator
Dimick the State owes much, for his
wise managem5fnt Oh these bills.
Now sOmeOnG is ready to ask why
we could not a2cept that substitute. y
To have done 80 would have prevent
ed any legislation on this same sec
ton (2936J at she next session of the
LEGISLATURE the lend is not yet
The people of tsis State do not believe
that little girl only ten is capable OF

whatever in relAtiOn to an act OF such
vital interest to herself and the State
at large.
We want yoS all to know that all
girls are fully Protected to the age OF
eighteen wears with or without con
sent" Any immoral conduct towards
one is punishable by Imprisonment OF
ten years as the maximum penalty,
while the fixing of the penalty, as in
other violations of law, is left with
the judges, who will be guided by the
testimony. Florida ranks with the
ten best in tbs Union.
The men who champiOned the bill
and the women who worked so hard
to help secure its passage may know
they are well paid in the feeling of
state pride, macn more in the safe
guard thrown around young girls; so
many of whom through poverty and
lack of home protection or training
are at the merry of designing men.

dangerous, the habit of carrying con-

outrage upon society, and should be

BIG DAMAGE DONE By STORM

districts where the soil is sandy the
damage TO vegetable crops WAS COM

Pingree of the ogden Sugar company
received reports of disaster to the beet
crops. The greatest damage was in
Wilson, kanesFille West Weber and
Hooper. Tomat0es recently trans
planted suffered even more than beets.
A rough estimate places the losses of
the beet acreage at 800 and OF the to-
mato acreage at $50, a much larger
proportion in the latter case. The to-
matoes can he replanted if plants can
be secured, but not so with the beets.
