STAGE MARRIAGES AND TROUBLE

Edward Stacy of Cincinnati married FlOradora
girl. She was and is good looking that men
gasped when she appeared in public She got her
idiots sent her flowers ana would have been willing
to purchase champaign for her i'll quantities sufi-
Gent for bathing purposes had the beautiful Mrs.
Stacy been so inclined.
Now Mr.. Stacey has sued his wifes mother for
$50 0OO alleging that she alienated the affections of
his young wife and charmed her away from his side
With all due respect to the good points of stage
an actress should at least read the newspapers be-
fore embarking on the journey.
1t Is story that has lawsuit at the end of every
paragraph and trouble after every period.
Why stage life should interfere with domestic
peace isn't so easy to answer, but it does.
One would think that the man behind the foot
lights could love one woman, and the woman of the
walk hand in hand through life as surely as the
workman whose every day is the same as yesterday.
But stage history has proved the falsity of that
ton.
Only few weeks ago matinee idol was in a New
York court for divorce from his fourth wife. He
married one for joke and another ''to please a
friend" At least one of his wives had been through
the divorce court previous to her marriage to him.
The outsider who marries an actress and who is
not prepared to share his wfes talent, beauty and
daily life with the public, and who is not strong
enough to throttle jealousy can logically expect
trouble.

POSSIBLE USE FOR THE NEW FLUID.

An organization of funeral directors and embaim-
ers up in Ohio is in great glee the achievement
of one of their trade. He has permeated the re-
mains of one John Leek with emhalming fluid
which has preserved the dead body for year from
even the slightest indication of decay. 1t is stand
ing in the of a and one by the craft
approach to pinch 1t and sniff suspicOusy but all
that remains of Leek resembles India rubber and it
does not offend the ofactories.
Probably the enthusiasm of the craft is only for
the arts sake. 1t surely can be of no interest to
Leek. If the departed has friends and they
NAL people they would not want the deceased posed
on pedestal for paror ornament. The ancient
Egyptians had method of saturating the remains
of their relatives and their dogs and cats with pitch
which has preserved them to the present day. 1t is
surely great comfort to Rameses III, that weak
sister, Cleopatra, to be posed a slab in the
British museum and stared at by the multitude.
Persons of less Importance used fuel by their
descendants.
Modern civilization consents to the resolution of
human bodies to their original elements. Some are
not content to wait for the process of putrefacton
but hasten resolution by cremation. We owe to
lures return to original elements when we have
done with them, and it is but fair to pay the debt
The art of embalming is only useful in preserving
bodies for long distance shipment, unless employ
it for the preparation OF beef for the of troops

to the big packing houses than to society at large

THE PRESIDENT AND EDITOR AS
PREACHERS,

Theodore Roosevelt is the first of our presidents
who has undertaken to preach to the people. 1t is
a new and unique thing for president to instruct
the people in his speeches concerning their duty to
their fellows, their families and their God. But
who can object to these homiletics? When he talks
to the people about their private rather than public
duties who will say that his sermonizing is not
needed?
If private virtues and home duties are at the
foundation of the republics life, why should not
president urge them upon the people? Certainly
such preachments will have wider reading and APP
probation than anything he might say on contro-
verified economic and political questions.
The president has been doing what the up-to-date
newspaper editor is now dong The moral eleva-
ton Of the people is more essential than political
education.
1t is notable that the modern editorial is becom-
ing less political and more ethical.
Of course many organs continue to print great
quantities of political matter which nobody reads.
But the really live newspaper whose editorials are
read, the newspaper that influences the masses of
the people, is turning largely to questions of human
interest and its editorials have taken a significant
moral tone.
There is reason why the press should not in a
measure cooperate with the pulpit and when the
people ask for bread give them what they ask for
instead of a stone.
The modern editor is becoming more and more a
preacher. He breaches duty and Righteousness.
He shows the consequences of wrong doing and illus
trates it flom everyday life He conserves the con-
science of the common people His responsibility
is great.

WHAT COOP Mou1p COME.

When Bob McNamee goes to the
legislature, / want him as repre-
sentative of the west coast to get a
law through somehow-no matter il
it costs as much as the late "DivOrce
Bill"-requiring that all food pack
ages brought into Florida be stamp
ed with the date of manufacture. A
package of breakfast food" which
has loafed around New York or St.
Louis for six months and then spent
the winter and spring in Tampa,
often has that "tired feeling" by the
time it reaches Clearwater or Dune
din, and in some instances actually
needs dose of vermifuge. The Hon.
orable Robert must do his duty if he
ever expects to reach congress.-Tom
Sawyer, in Clearwater Press.
FIN the legislature of 1901 Senator
Grill of this county introduced a
Pure Food Law which passed the
legislature and would even now have
been good law had not "our business
governor" placed his veto upon the
measure after the adjournment of
the legislature. 1t is presumed the
governor is agin' the measure yeti.

MUST BE Color BLIND.

There is hardly ghost of the for
mer powerful Republican party to be
found in this state. The Democrats
are so firmly united that the Repub-
licans have not pretended to Offer
any opposition. In fact, the order OF
President Roosevelt that Republi-
cans must show some more activity
in party lines than the mere scramb-
ling for and holding offices has ut
terly failed to infuse life in the party
in this state.
Last Friday a call for meeting Of
the Republican Congressional Com
mittees of Florida was issued, and
less than quorum assembled al

ing resolutions complimenting this

REroRMING a BURGLAR.

New Jersey woman has undertaken the reforma-
ton of man without marrying him.
Aroused from her sleep by noise in the house,
she armed herself with revolver and proceeded to
investigate. She espied burglar who had Just
effected entrance by window.
'Halt' she commanded "Get on your knees -
The burglar looked into the muzze of the weapon
and assumed the posture.
'Now," SAID the woman, II could shoot you.
But | will not. Are you professional burglarY'
The man, manlike, protested it was his first otfense.
The woman tells the rest of the story:
Il asked him if he was sorry for what he had
done, and he confessed that he was He said he
would go to work honestly if l would let him off.
He looked as if he meant what he sad and l told
him to go, which he did, after thanking me for my
kindness"
Of course he was sorry He had to be. OF course
he would 60 to work honestly. She had the drop
on him. But will the reformation last? 1t is easy
to plead duress to his conscience His pledges were
extorted vi ct armis

Illustrating THE ISSUE.

The anthracite coal operators are like the cuttle-
fish which muddles the waters around it to escape
detection. They continue to contend that the only
object of the striking is the recognition of
the union.
1t is not the only object.
Nor is it the only hope of the operators to defeat
the recognition of the union.
On the one side, the miners seek better wages,
shorter hours, the adoption of equitable ton and
the redress of many grievances. On the other side
there is the desire to defeat all these demands by
making recognition the only factor i'll the dispute.
But the people cannot be fooled.
They know that the miners desire and have asked
again and again for arbitration They know the
operators have steadily refused to arbitrate
There is something wrong with any man or set of
men who will not give audience to their employees.
The public knows what it is in this instance. 1t is
greed the heartess, damnable greed of the trusts.

DRIVE THEM OUT.

. 1t is about to become generally be-
lieved that the laborers at phosphate
mines and turpentine camps are re-
sponsible for most of the crime in
Alachua county, but the belief is not
well founded. 1t is not the laborers
-as a general rule-who commit the
crimes. 1t is the loafing gamblers
who are permitted to visit these
camps, for the purpose of carrying
on their nefarious work. They visit
the camps with as much reg
larity as do the commercial travel
ers, but for a very different purpose
indeed. If no one was permitted to
stay around these labor camps with
out some visible and legitimate
means of support, there would be
fewer crimes committed in our coun-
ty, fewer good men would be con-
signed to bloody graves, and fewer
women and children would mourn
the loss of a murdered husband and
father.
The loafing, gambling portion of
F1orida's colored population is a
menace to the peace and prosperity
of the State, and to the safety of the
respectable portion of her colored
population. These poisonous YAM
pires should be driven out. This
done there would soon be a very no.
ticeable decrease in the amount of
crime in our midst and our court eX-
penses would be wonderfully and
pleasingly less.-Gainesville News.

The Americans of today are living IA years Ion

glance this assurance from the bureau seems
to contain cause for sef-corgratulation, but long
life is not always blessing. The best of books
says that the days of mans life are three
years and ten, but, if by reason of strength man
lives to be four yeaas old there is
and trouble than joy and gadness in the eongation.
If length of life meant prolongaton of usefulness to

ounboats For philippines.

The Philippine govern ment is ar.
ranging to construct twentysone
gunboats for service in and about
the archipelago. Commander Adolph
Mark, on duty on the Asiatio sta
ton, has applied to Rear Admiral
Bowles, chief of the bureau OF con-
struction and repair, for sets Of
plans for these vessels. Admiral
Bowles says there are no facilities in
the Philippines for the construction
Of the gunboats, and that il they
are built 10 the Orient it must be at
Hong Kong or in Japan. 10 his
opinion, the vessels should be built
in American ship yards, and he says
they could be sent 80 the Philip
pines without much difficulty, the
same as other small craft now at.
| tachedrto the Asiatic station. Inss-
much as the expense OF conetruc ton
of these new craft will be borne by
the Philippine government tits Tor
that government to determine
where they shall be built and it is
not at all certain that Admiral
Bowles' plan for their construction
in the United States will be fol-
lowed.
