of Mr.. y. Downey, who knows how to

Another Way to Look at 1t.

The chamber of commerce of
Knoxville, Tenn, has unanimously
passed resolutions urging the next
legislature to increase the school
tax of the state on real and per
sonal property from ID To %
cents. In "A lengthy discussion OF
the subject it was brought out that
the average school term of the state
was only ninety-siX days, and the
average salary of Schoolteachers
only thirty-one dollars per month.
One of the members in Il vigorous
speech advocated the resolutions
from commercial Standpoint
alone, declaring that an eight or
nine months school term in the
county schools of East Tennessee
would be of immense financial val
lie TO Knoxville, as education not
only increases the earning capacity
of people, but also increases in like
manner their desire to purchase
more goods of every kind.

AUF WIEDEisSEHN.

Two "tramps" came from the cold PORTLAND
In search of an easy" place.
They tried day on JackSon's sand,
But found no friendly face.
on on they sped by railroad car
Past DAYTON Ormond and Co CO.
Vainly the, looked both near and far.
But nothing seemed Il go
They spoke to the girl who looked the best,
With face both round and jolly:
Where shall We go to have "A rest
She answered quick. oh. Golly.'
In great surprise they looked at her
The V Thought her words hut folly,
Just then the brakeman reached their car
And screawed. next stop Eau Gallic."
Th"v grabbed their grips and 'umblcd out,
The rain came down in piles
Thnr" stood friend Colby. big and stout.
His face aglOw with smiles.
Next day the Sun shone warm and bright,
No ice or snow was near
The roses red and orange white.
And bird songs sweet and clear
The town WAS fine. with hard white street
The homes We're nice the girls were sweet.
The doctors great while things Ia eat
At Colby's Inn could not be heat
The Chicago man with mammoth cheek
And mOuStache dark and feelings "frisky, s.
Went forth his orange inc" To seek.
The doctor said he spelt it ''whiskcy."
The DAYS flew by on land and sea
The Sunshine and the ocean breeze
Painted hand ana face very ncc-lee
They rode in boat aud took their east
While Colby and Captain" worked the oar
And ducks and eats" they killed in flocks
In short they Just had fun galore.
And played like monkeys i'm box
Rut better qreatc- Sv. ctcr far
Than h ,nto by ,laV Were walks by moon.
When bright ewes cleaned like evening star
Meath Avilahs lights, on nights like June
Yet more than these were hearts like gold,
Which welcome gave the trav'lers lone;
The kindly act and lips that told
of souls beneath in every tone.
Yes Fan Gallie, sweet town of rest.
We leave thee with our hearts fond prayer
That you NAV evermnre be- blPst
With sunny skies and balmiest air,
Your darling girls find lovers true.
Your sailors gay have breezes fair.
EOnr matrons kind find cares but few,
Your hunters brave kill deer and bear.
And to you all. kind hearts and hands,
As on we 60. to other lands.
Our words are weak and thoughts are vain.
But fare you well-sgain, again,
Until some day"

The Controversy Ended.

We hope the controversy that
has been going on in the county
papers for II few weeks past between
the board of county commissioners
and the county treasurer has been
ended. 1t is best for all parties
concerned to lie. the matter rest
right where it is. The effort of the
county commissioners 10 secure a
lower rate of interest for carrying
the warrants has been productive
of a considerable saving for the
people, and the tax payers and
property holders of the county will
willingly grant them due credit for
their efforts in that direction. They
are deserving of it, toe, for the ini-
tiatory steps, We aressu iably i'll
The Florida star., 1902-03-14

formed, were taken toward securing
a lower rate of interest even before
the last grand, jury were impaneled
and had thought of suggesting it.
School warrants are now carried
for 6 per cent, where they formerly
paid 8, and general fund warrants
now pay z per cent. whereas form
erly they paid 10, and we should
not be surprised if general fund
warrants should be brought down
to 6 per cent. The rate ought to
be uniform for both general fund
and school fund warrants.

The Florida Temperance Union Advances
Reasons Against That System.
We, the undersigned, representing the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union of
Florida, regret the evident trend of opin-
ion towards the delusion that the dispen-
sary system is a temperance measure and
step in the direction of prohibition. :
Twenty years ago the same condition
obtained in regard to high license, and
many mistaken Christians voted for it.
Time has dispelled the last named delu-
sion, as it will las it has in South Caro-
lima and Georgia) the first. No moral
question can be settled by compromise.
1t must be settled on the eternal prih-
ciples of truth and right or it will be an
unsettled, shifting, vexing problem.
We are opposed to the dispensary:
First-Because it puts the state in the
compromising, ignominious position of
barkeeper. SIS it morally wrong to sell
liquors? Then the state at least should
keep her hands clean" 1t is wrong,
and We will not consent to be partners in
a wrong.
q
monopolies are undemocratic, un-Ameri-
can and contrary to the genius of our
institutions and antagonistic TO the tradi
tions of the past and to the principles of
the fathers of American liberty. 1t is the
essence of Imperialism.
Third-Because the experience of the
states and towns which have tried the
.dispensary system proves that it does not
decrease intemperance; that the amount
of liquors sold at Athens, Ga, where it
mas had the longest and fairest trial, has
increased over thirty per cent, while the
population has increased Sut eight per
cent; that the restrictive features OF the
law in South Carolina have been disre-
garded by degrees, until now, with the
exception of two or three, 1t is the same
As the open saloon; that sales are made TO
minors and drunkards; that in many dis
pensaries liquors are drunk OH the prem
ises; and whereas the salary of the dis
penser was once stated and regular, re-
gardless of sales, now it is declared 10y
high authority that salaries depend TO
a great extent on the quantity of liquor
disposed of. "How can state official
be made more responsible than the man
our present law says must be good cit
izen?p
Fourth-The fact that it is Landed as a
scheme to escape the legitimate burdens
of government, that it will fill the treas
uries of towns and counties and relieve
taxpayers, is its greatest condemnation
because it debauches the cOnsciences of
the voters, and bribes them into acqui-
escence In a great evil, the traffic which
has destroyed more lives than war, pes
Ulence and famine"
We call OH all true, patriotic, Christians
to scOrn the bribe and to refuse to coin
the blood and tears and signs and mOans
of women and children into the devils
gold. because sentence against an evil
work is not executed speedily, therefore
the hearts of the sons of men is fully set
in them to do vil."-t Eccie. viii, H.

The German people are very
much pleased that Prince Henry
has met with such a spontaneous
and brotherly reception during his
visit here. The prince will have
learned so many of our democratic
ways that he may astOnish the
Germans when he returns home.
The free hospitality shown the
prince here has even aroused the
envy of some of the Britons, who
have attempted to magnify every
Outburst of humOr or minor cOn-
tretemps into a guage of national
feeling or characteristic miscarriage
of plans.

The recent decision of the United
States supreme court denying the
right of the city council of Detroit
TO regulate fares on the street rail
ways in that city during the life OF
existing franchises, is the culmina-
tion of a fight that was begun by
ex-Mayor Pingree nearly twelve
years ago In view of this decision,
it appears that the proper time for
cities to regulate their street rail
ways is when they grant fran
chises.
