JUSTICE AT LAST"

Two weeks ago the Live Oak Crescent which, by the
by, is OF the sprghtliest and best edited papers in
the state INDUCED in what appeared on the surface to
be bitter attack Senator Mallory and congressman
Sparkman and Davis. The article however, auded the
work of Senator Taaerro, to whom it ascribed praise
pretty much every thing that has been accomplished
for Florida at the nations capital With but few eX-
ceptons the editors of the state smiled when they read
the article. Instead of attack they in the Ores
cents editorial a thiny yelled sarcasn-a covert satire
directed at the course of the Jacksonville papers which
have all along damned with faint praise the work of
all save that of the junior senator. The Crescents ed
oal has served its purpose for no sooner had appear
ed than the easy Jacksonville editors rushed to the
rescue of the maligned" trio and acknowledged that
they too, had had a hand IN the work which has been
accomplished at Washington. Under the caption, Jus
tice at Last the Crescent of last week publishes the
following key to former article for the benefit of
the "suyed" editors:
1.-The Crescent's editorial last week regarding the
work of our representatives in Washington brought forth
Il storm of Indignation from the Times Union and the
Metropolis, both of Jacksonville.
''Ihe editorial accomplished the purpose Tor Wnlch
written that is to force the two papers above
named to admit that Davis, Sparkman and Mallory were
each worthy representatives at Washington ana We're
doing valiant service for the state, and that all the work
done there has not been the work of single man whose
name figured in the heads of these two Is
months past and by them has been given all
the credit for every thing DONE notwithstanding their
assurance to the contrary
'.The Crescent has been loyal friend to and sup
porter of all three Of the gentlemen named 1t recognizes
the good work they have done and gives them credit for
all that is their due, which is great dea but if either
of the journals mentioned has given them spark OF
credit it in an obscure corner under scare head
which eulOgized single man.
LET give to each the credit that is his due, and
not heap upon all the flowers that the others
should have an equal share Of"

The Jews of To-Day.

"If Jesus Christ should return to earth tomorrow He
would be welcomed in every Jewish synagogue i'll the
land and every jew would say with David, Lift up your
heads We everlasting DOORS and be lifted up We
lasting gates, and the King of Glory shall come in
This the climax of a lecture by Dr. Hirsch, de-
vered recently before the Epworth League of St. James
Methodist church. Chicago The big audience gave the
speaker storm Of applause
in original sin and inherited depraviy. They believe
every is responsible free agent and is not involved
in the guilt of his fathers his children. OF course
therefore, they do not believe the story of the fall of man

story of the Garden of Eden an allegOry.
"As they reject the doctrine of original sin. they

They believe in Messiah but the Messiah of the old
testament is temporal prince who shall reign the
Jews after they shall have been reunited and become
nation again in Palestine.
AT least the orthodox Jews believe in this but the
liberal Jews do not believe in the Messianic prophecies
at all.
''The Jews hold that Jesus preached nothing but Jul
daism. The supremacy of the commandment to love
God and man. the doctrine of the fatherhOOd of God the
doctrine that the Sabbath made for man. the abro
cation of the law of retaliation the obligation to love
ones enemies and even the Lords Prayer, which
readily admit is the sublimst petition ever framed
in human language-al these claim were taken from
the Jewish writings some of which were composed hun
dreds of wears before Jesus was born.
Moreover, when it comes to practcing the loving
precepts of Jesus the Jews claim that the Christians
have made utter failure of it.
$50 far as the modern Jews are concerned they re
gard Jesus as the nobes spiritual teachers that
ever appeared in the world and that the Jews have fur

called disciples of Jesus have prosecuted the Jews with

with lamb-ke gentleneSS aud Silence.n
Dr. Hirsch said it could not be denied that man had
soul and the bare existence of soul proved its inn

at a lunch counter will be up against the real article
should King Ed. come to the worlds fair.
When the king decides to visit he does not wait
for an invitation. He notifies the subject that he

with funds, the sooner he pasters mortgage on his
chateau the better for him.
Edward and the queen have notified the duke of
Buccleugh that they will stop with him for time
The duke has money; otherwise it would be cheaper
for him to get out of Europe

refurnished, from carpets to wallpaper. The dram

A SCHOOL HOUSE SHERLOCK HOLMES.

A petty thief did some work in New York
high school, Some missed hand mirror, then
fountain pen Disappeared and lastly little purse,
in which was 81 cents took wings.
In human affairs, when an opportunity is af-
forded for idocy, it is always possible to fill the
need
Dr.. John Wright, the principal, and a regular
Sherlock Holmes, told thirty-one girls that ut is
our duty to consider each one guilty until she is
proved innocent and suggested a search.
That has the earmarks of an insult. 1t is a
fool proceeding Not once in hundred times
would it result IN unmasking a crook. And always
it would affront the innocent. But listen.
One at time these young women were taken to
a dressing room and searched. The police could not
do more thorough job. Every article of clothing
was taken off and infinitely inspected. Hair was
taken down and combs run through it. Even shoes
and stockings were removed Finally the girls,
their faces burning with Indignation and shame,
were dismissed.
DR.. Wright refused to announce the result Of
the investigation. If he found thief the fact is
locked in his own breast. New York parents are In
dgnant Why not?
If it is necessary to introduce police methods IN
school houses and offend the modesty and maldenly
dignity of young women because of a petty theft,
why not add detecting to the curriculum?
Dr. Wright is a square peg in a round hole lie
would do better in Russia, where the rights and the
feelings of the people cut little figure. His attempt
at u cure is worse than the disease.

When You grow disguised with such bargaining
as that of the Thaw Yarmouth marriage turn to the
romance of Mr. Hunter and Miss Stokes The story
is not from a novel but reads like one.
Miss Stokes has money and brains and heart

good from the ground up.

A good many wise people are opposed to 1.-THE
pulpit in politics., but the most strenuous oppo-
nents must forgive the activity of that Missouri
preacher whose sermons led to the bribery nvestl-
cations in the state Legislature.
Even the btterest opponents of politics IN the
pulpit must admit that much depends upon the
preacher and upon the politics. narrow-mlnded
preacher will carry into his pulpit only narrow poll
tics, as he does narrow theology. broad-mlnded
preacher will deal only with great questions OF pub
lie veal.
In the pulpit, as out of it, politics is too fire.
ouentlv confused with partisanshp. There IS the
whole trouble Such confusion is degrading to pull
pit and to pure politics alike.
The preacher who follows partisan band wag-
on along with the spoils hunters, may be sincere,
but he is foolish.
But there is politics of far higher sort than
ths-poitics broader in principle than the eaten
phrases of any party.
Such is the sort of politics involved in the legal
suppression Of the liquor traffic and other soul dead
ening influences. Such is the politics involved IN
the exposure, the persistent Remuneration and the
prosecution of corruption in public office.
The pulpit that is too nice for such great ques-
+ions of human veal as these is too nasty-nce for
anything potential for good.
All of these great questions, when they
are settled right at ALL settled largely through
the influence Of the pulpit 1t is in the pulpit that
the arguments are made and the mighty public
spirit generated which forces legislatures to respond
with laws for the better conservation of morals And
it was in the pulpit that the boodlers and bribers Of
n state have now been called to account.
For such politics there is, ever has been and
ever will be, plenty of in the pulpit. And If
there were more Of it in the pulpit there might be
more interest in the pews.

SOME OLD THEATERs.
PIAyhOuses That FlOurished In An"
Client Greece and Rome.

You may wonder what there could
be injurious to public morality IN
tbeater made of stone. Consul f. Cor
nelius Sclpio Naseia knew, but history
doesn't tell. The first attempt to Duliu
a stone theater in Rome was made
short time before he was elevated 10
his office. 1t was sanctioned by the
censors and was nearing completioh
when Scipio persuaded the senate 10
command it to be pulled down, al
yancing as his reason sollcituue Ior
public morality.
The Romans did not possess a regu-
lar stone theater until a very late Pc
riod, and, although dramatic repre-
sensations were very popular III early
times, it appears that a wooden stage
WAS created when necessary ana was
afterward pulled down again. ana tne
nlays of Plautus and Terence We're
performed on such temporary scaHold
ings. In the meanwhile many of the
neighboring towns Of Rome had thelr
stone tbeaters. as the introduction or
Greek customs and manners was less
strongly opposed in them than IN the
citv of Rome itself. Wooden theaters'
adorned with the most profuse mag
nificence, were erected at Rome even
during the last period of the republic
A magnificent wooden theater plan
ned by NJ. AGmilius Scaurus was oullt
in his adileship SO b. c. ITS scena
consisted of three stories, anu the low
err of them was made of white marble
the middle one Of glass and the upper
one of gilt wood. The cavea contained
10000 spectators. In So B. c. On. Pom
pey built the first stone theater al
Rome, near the Campus Martius. II
was of great beauty and is said to have
been built after the model of that OF
NytiIene. 1t contained 10000 specta-
tors.
C, Curio built in so B. G. two magnif'
icent wooden theaters close by one an
other, which might be changed into
one amphitheater. After the time OF
Pompey, however. other stone theaters
were erected, as the theater of Mar
cellus, which was built by Augustus
and called after his nephew Marcellus
and that of Babus. whence Suetonlus
