WHAT A DIspENsARY WOULD DO.

The dispenSary law in South Carolina has caused
dssension and turmoil and strife than any law ever
clused in any State We can have more than need
in Florida without its assistance The atemps to evade
the law and the fights made on in the courts make
chapter of South Cardinals history that do not wish
to see duplicated in Florida.
We do not believe that such law would decrease
drunkenness Except it is evaded it would localize
the purchase of ntoXcans but they would be sold at
place or places in each county where every man in the
county goes often If this should have any effect at all
it would be to make trip to the market town mean
spree to a drinking man. If he wished whisky, and
could only get it at place that he did not visit
every day. he would look forward to his visit to that
place as time when he could throw off the restraint
that had nterfered with the qualification of his appetite
at home.
would interfere with the ability to drink except when
going to town. AS matter of fact enough could be OBJ
tanned at one visit to last until the next. Any man
could drink at homestay drunk at home all the time,
if he wished.
The espionage which the enforcement of the dspen-
sary laws would necessitate would be debasng. The
best men in community will not consent to act spies.
The enforcement of the laws will necessarily be entrus
ed to !Heh who, say the least of it, not of the
highest characterize class of who could not be
counted to resist corrupting influences.
If the object is to decrease the sale of ntONcants it
can be better accomplished in other ways. In other
local option laws have stopped their sale in
counties-in States i'm most counties The dspel
sares of South Carolina have cheapened Risky, and,
more can bought for the money than could be
without the dispensary law, the tendency is to buy
more. We would like to the necessities and
forts of life placed in the reach of ALL but do not
think that cheap whisky is advantage to any
nity.-Tmes- Union and Citizen.

COMPLAINT OF STRINGENT LAW.

1t was only Il short time ago that the inhabitants
of the national capital were clamorng fora more
stringent law regulating the granting OF divorces.
This was brought about In great measure by the
latitude of the social leaders of the administration
towards divorced persons. The example of British
Iupper-tendom was followed and divorced persons
found it extremely difficult to retain the social
standing that they had enjoyed during the period of
their unhappy married life. 1t did not seem to
make much difference what indignities wronged
party had suffered, to what desperate straits one
had been driven before applying to the courts for
relief: the fact that the person had been divorced
was accepted us necessarily carrying with it Il ce--
tain amount of moral oboquy.
So congress was asked to make divorces more
difficult to obtain and congress did its work well
as to make legal separation in The District of CO.
lumbia next to impossible. Under the new law
there exists only one cause for divorce-IEfdelity-
and the otfense must be clearly proven. There is
no relief for the woman who has contracted an I'M
fortunate alliance with drunkard, wife-beater or
even criminal. The wronged woman is coolly
told that. having made her bed she must lie in it,
that while her life may be one unending torture,
the lesson to society will be beneficial.
Already the effects of the stringent law be-
ginning 10 De leu ana II ClN ltlltl lOIl Glle Cll
eXactions is being heard.
Divorce laws can be too strict we'll as too lax.
Because woman has made mistake in judgment
is no reason why her whole life should be ruined by
being compelled to remain tied to a man whom she
has learned to despise with just hatred. There is
hardly greater crime than the bringing into the
world of children born to such unions. In many
places divorces are too easily ohtainabe, but the
District of Columbia has gone to the other extreme.

AN EAAnpiE OF NERVE.

Thus far in the canvass there are but two candl-
dates for the supreme court bench in Florida, and
from these two men democrats will make their
choice in the approaching primaries. These candl-
dates are Judge w. A. Hooker of Ocala, formerly
Judge of the Fifth Judicial Circuit of which Put
nam county forms part, and Judge j. B. Wall, OF
Tampa From information at hand it would appear
that these gentlemen are at about stand-otf IN so
far as legal attanments and fitness for the judicial
etmine are concerned, and no matter which may be
selected for the place. the supreme bench of Florida
will have had added to it jursprudent for whom
no citizen will ever be called upon to blush.
But while these candidates may be equally well
equipped legally for the place they seek, do they
each appeal with equal force in political sense to
democratic voters? The News thinks not, and for
these reasons.
Judge Hooker has been II consistent democrat al
ways He has never made an attempt to disrupt
the organization and he has never boIted" from 1t.
If the organized democracy of the state or nation
has in his opinion. ever committed a mistake,
Judge Hooker has sought to rectfy the error by Ia
boring to change sentiment in the organization. He
has never by act word given one the idea that he
felt himself superior to the majority wisdom of the
party. That sort of democrat is the kind that
assists in victories the kind that helps to recty
wrongs and the kind that every true member of the
organization ought to delight in honoring.
Can the same be said Of Judge Wall? Well
scarcely. During the presidetial campaign III 1896
Judge Wall made speeches for the Palmer and Buck
ner ticket and was candidate for Presidential
elector in that renegade movement. He not only
bolted but denounced the very party from which he
NOW asks one of the chief hOnOrs it has to bestOw.
Democratc.voters in Putnam county would likely
support Judge Hooker from feelings of strong per
sonal attachment to their former Judge, but those
feelings are not the only ones which should weigl

dates Assam exhibition OF nerve the candidacy o

LOSES HAIR, NOT HEAD.
street Car knocks Down a Young
Girl, But She Has IA Miraculous
Escape from Death.

Bertha Schilling, IL years of age, Of
400 COurtlandt avenue, New York city,
had an odd experience the other after
noon, when she was knocked down by
a car and had her hair cut off almost
as clean as if by pair of scissors. She
was crossing Third avenue behind a
south-bound ear when a north-bound
car confronted her. She stepped back
to let it pass, but the side of the fender
caught her and threw her heavily to
theground. In falling her long hair fell
across the rail, although her head and
body were out Of danger. The forward
wheel ed over the hair, cutting it
off close to the scalp. Part of the
scalp was pulled off.
The accident was witnessed by a
large number of persons, many of
whom supposed the girl was killed.
After the car passed by dozen men
rushed to her assistance and raised
her up. The girl smiled, but burst into
tears when she realized that she had
lost her hair, of which she was very
proud. The severed curls were gath
cred up and handed to her. With them
tucked securely under her arm, she
ran home to tell her mother.

Portrait of Mrs. Roosevelt to Be
Hung in White House.
Ambassador CnmbOn, on Behalf of
the French Government, Will Pre-
sent Work of NJ. Chartran to
United States Government.

NJ. Cambon, the French ambassador,
on behalf of the French government,
will present to the United States the
Chartran portrait of Mrs. Roosevelt,
to be hung in the white house with the
portraits of former presidents and
their wives. NJ. Chartran's portrait of
Miss Roosevelt, which was also or
dered by the French government, has
been presented to the family Of the
president.
Both pictures are now at the French
embassy and packed ready for ship
ping to Europe, and will reach Parls
in time for the summer Salon. After
that is over they will be returned to
America and formally presented to
their respective recipients. The por-
trait of the president by NJ. MakoVsky
is still at the white house, having been
painted with the object of presenting
it to this government, but so far no
definite presentation has been made.
1t was rumored at the time OF the
reception to NJ. Chartran at the French
embassy, when the pictures were Tor
the first time shown to the public, that
they were to be bought either by Sen
ator Lodge or j. FierpUnt Morgan,
that of Mrs. Roosevelt to be presented
to the white house and that of Miss
Roosevelt to her family. Not until
the other day, when it was announced
at the embassy, was it known that
the French government had given the
order for lhe portraits. Apparently
there is a pretty little diplomatic cpl
sode behind these portraits. Germany
sent over Prince Henry, England eX-
pected to entertain Miss Roosevelt,
and so, to take hand in this game of
showing attention to Uncle Sam,
France ordered these pictures as a
present to the American people

IT WILL NOT WORK.

In recent letter TO Il county contemporary, the
leading advocate of the dispensary in the county
states that the present political issue is SALOONS OF
the dspensary ana that he who is not for the dis
pensary must necessarily be in league with ard the
friend of the saloons, and that any who has the
effrontery to oppose his states engaging in the
business of selling liquor is hypocrite.
While the News is not authorized to speak official
ly for the great body of high-miuded and loyal
Christian workers III Putnam county; for the clergy
men, who to a man oppose this dispensary measure,
it feels it can rely them in the approaching pri-
muries to that substantial justice is mected out
to this man and all Others of his ilk who go out of
their way to offer gratItous insult to the Christian
men and women in the state and county who can
not be made to believe that the time has come for
the state of Florida to be turned over bodily to the
liquor inquity and become the chief factor in deal
ing out death and liquid damnaton to its citizens.
That the saloons are interested in the defeat of the
dspensary measure goes without saying. To them
it is matter of personal and selfish interest.
But it requires no stretch of fancy to conceive of
a band of Christian men and women, having other
and unselfsh motives, uniting in effort to save
the good name OF Florida from the awful curse of
q state intrenched saloon, managed by low order
