DR.. FORBES QUITS STETSON.
Given d YeQT'S V0C0iOI. Which
Me0nS Forever Qnd 0 D0y.
His Case Against john B. Stetson
May Never Be Tried-Vie-
tory is Stetson's.

The DeLand News, staunch
Forbes supporter all through the
nasty scandal which has torn De-
Land into fragments and threatened
the future usefulness of one of the
greatest institutions of learning in
the south, is authority for the state
ment that the Stetson-FOrbes diff
culties have been settled out of court
and that both sides have practically
agreed to settle their differences by
arbitration. The same paper adds
that "this will be good news to De-
Land people," 1t might have said
with equal truth that it will be good
news to the people of the entire
state.
DIR. Forbes had been charged with
gross immortality. These charges
had been fortified by the affidavits
of several teachers, students and en-
ployes of the university.
The board of trustees met and af-
ter listening to the charges, eNonpr-
ated DR.. Forbes, or to speak more
correctly, "whitewashed" him in Or
der to save a scandal and imperil
the good name of the University,
John b. Stetson, president of the
board and the principal financial
hacker of the school, dissented from
this finding of the board. He want
ID Forbes Ousted. Then the scandal
broke out afresh. 1t would not down
this time.
Mr.. Stetson took the ground that
while President Forbes might not be
guilty, he was at least a "singed
Saintn and that his usefulness had
been destroyed.
A second meeting of the trustees
was held and at this meeting the
Forbes influence still had control.
At a result of this meeting Mr.. Stet-
son was dethruned from the presi-
lency of the board and a nonentity
substituted. Then the fight was on.
Mr.. StetsOn had to defend himself.
BY his authority the state was flood
ed with a little blue pamphlet con-
tanning all the nasty evidence in the
shape of affidavitS against Forbes.
These pamphlets. it is true, were not
for general circulation, and were on
ly sent to the newspapers and lead
ing men in public life, marked ''per-
sonal." Nevertheless the document
had q general reading. AS result
of that reading the public generally
came to view the case much the
same as did Mr.. Stetson.
Forbes then entered suits in the
United States district court for SLAM
der, placing damages to his charac-
tar in the amount of 100000.
Mrs. Mathis, the woman in the
case, also instituted similar suits.
Now it is said these suits are to be
settled out of court. That's good.
This mode of procedure will only
go to confirm the suspicion the pub
lie already had that Forbes was only
entering them as q bluff"
This paper is given to understand
by man close to the university
that DR.. Forbes, when he went north
some months ago, carried with him a
leave of absence for year. That
the permit meant forever there is no
doubt.
The ending of the case in this
manner means a back down on the
part of the board of trustees.
Would it not now be in order for
the State Baptist Association to
withdraw that Certificate of charac
ter, and own that it, too, had been
buncoed?

PAPERING THE PINS.
An Ingenious Operation That Ts Per-
formed by Machinery.

An Ingenious Operation That Is Per-
formed by Machinery.
The first pins made in this country
were very crude indeed, merely a bit
Of wire twisted into a knot for head
at one end and sharpened to a point at
the other Their successors of today
undergo a surprising variety of opera
tions before they are considered fit for
use.
In comparison with the size of the
object manufactured the operations
seem bewilderingly numerous, but If
there be one process more remarkable
than another it is ''papering the pins"
The papers, having been passed
through an ingenious machine which,
at regular intervals, according to the
size Of the pin, pinches up fold and
pricks hole in it, are ready to receive
the pins.
For this purpose there is another ma
chine, worked by two children. One
feeds the pins, the other the papers.
The first part of the machine is box
about twelve inches long, six broad and
four deep. The bottom is composed of
small square steel bars, sufficiently far
apart to let the shank of the pin fall
through, but not the head. These bars
are just as thick as the space between
papered pins. The lower part of the
bottom of the box is made to detach it
self as soon as the row of pins is COM
plete. Row after row, at regular In
tervals, is received and passed dowR a
corresponding set of grooves until it
reaches the ready pricked paper. By
the incest possible adjustment these
pins come exactly to their places and
are pressed into them. BY this method
two little girls can in one day put up
many thousands of papers.-Kansas

years. We will all be interested in
knowing if it is. If NOT. the prohibit
tory question might as well be drop
ped in local elections, In Kansas
City, Kansas, the republicans carried
the election by majorities ranging
around 2500. overcoming democra-
tic majority of 200 OF two years ago.
This was a contest of The outs against
the ms and was not fought on prohi-
hilton lines as the party of prohi-
bition had a candidate of their own
in the field. Another interesting con-
test was in Hutchinson where the pre-
sent mayor was a candidate for re-
election. Under his administration
the town was dry and it was under
stood that if his opponent won a s'lib
eraP' policy would follow. The
s'wets" won, and yet this cannot
really be considered II victory for
this element, as the present mayors
defeat was more particularly due to
the fact that he was a party to the
bringing out of a candidate against
Sam Forsha for congress. in Reno
county, and the friends of Forsha re-
sented his action in this matter and
SO took this opportunity of expressing
their disapproval at the polls.
Taken as a whole there is no parti-
cular significance attaching to the re-
suits as in every case there was some
thing more at stake than party.

Another bungle by the recent Kan
sas legislature has come to light and
is causing a great deal of comment
in Kansas City, Kansas. 1t seems
that when the city charters law was
recently passed it failed to make pro-
vision for the election of may or in
cities having a population of over
80, 900 and, it is claimed, repealed all
old election laws under which such
an election could be held. This will
only effect the one city as there is no
other in the state with sufficient popu-
lation to get into that class. The cleo
tion was held just the same and the
legality of it will be tested. Opinions
seem to differ as to the result. Some
hold that Mayor Craddock will hold
over until the next Legislature cor
reefs the defects in the law, others
say that the length of his term being
fixed by law he can only hold the
statutory time and that the office will
become vacant as soon as his time
expires. Whatever the rights of the
matter are they will have to be settled
in court. The last legislature was so
busy playing for factional position
that there was but little time to scan
legislation.

The American cup defender, the Re.
lance, is TO be launched Saturday.
L. is freely admitted that the new
Shamrock is ten or fifteen minutes
faster than Shamrock I. and the Eng
llsh seem to think that this fact makes
their new boat sure winner. They
overlook the fact that Shamrock II.
was also much faster than her prede-
cessor and was beaten, and there
seems to be no good reason to believe
that the new boat will fare any better.
for while we have the old boats to
sail If necessary we also have the new
one, as yet untried, which the builders
and owners assert to be the finest
thing ever launched. 1t will take a
trial race to come to anything like a
definite conclusion, and in the mean
time the enthusiasts on either side of
the water can holler in their own rain
barrel.

THE GRAPHIC,
OFFICIAL PAPER of Edwards Co
The Work of the Reorganizers.

Last fall when Tom johnson was
beaten for governor of Ohio the re-
publicans and reorganization demo-
Gratis gleefully announced that his de-
feat eliminated him as presidential al
possibility. This week Mr.. Johnson
was reelected mayor of Cleveland for
the third time in the face of the oppe-
sition of Senator Hanna and his en-
tire gang and now the crowd who
thought they had him downed are
beginning to feel uncomfortable at the
prospect. Tom Johnson will not be
laid aside until the fight between the
reorganizers and the regular, or Bry
an democrats, is settled. The demo-
Gratis OF the different states are grad
ually waking up to the fact that there
is fight on. 1t has been subtle and
insidious on the part of the reorgani-
zers. They began by apologizing for
Bryan's radical views and saving
what a pity that so valuable a man to
the democracy should allow the in
discretions of his tongue to ruin his
political prospects. Underneath it
all is the desire to create in the minds
OF the people 6istrust of Mr.. Bry-
ans leadership. They talk of middle
ground and want the people to believe
that there is a common ground on
which Cleveland and Bryan can meet
and support the same candid ate
They might as we'll talk of middle
ground between heaven and hell
where saints and sinners could meet
and work for the adjustment of
hades. What they aim to do is to
destroy the public confidence in Bryan
and the principles for which he stands
In order that the pie hunting order of
mind may control the councils of the
party to the end that they may handle
federal patronage and the question of
needed legislation be relegated to the
rear.
The people who believe in the prin-
ciples of government enunciated in
the Chicago and Kansas City plat
forms must rouse up and be on their
guard or they will learn when it is
too late that the management of the
councils of the party has passed into
the hands of those who represent plu-
tocr;tcy and not democracy. What is
to be done then? The answer is
plain: Be on your guard at every
primary and every convention and
not only see that resolutions have
the right ring to them but see to it
that no man is named on any delega-
ton or as candidate whose record
Is not clearly established ON this
question.

The republican bosses are rot at all
pleased with the new law which throws
the election of a railroad commits
sioner on their hands. They would
much rather have preferred to have
left Jim Fike in the position to being
compelled to select has successor. 1t
Is feared that whichever way the mat
ter ends there will be mob of the de-
feated candidates who will take the
executive council out and treat them
to dose of tar and feathers.
