HONORED AT HOME.

If YOU want to get at the real worth
of mans character the best place
to obtain reliable information is of
his nrighbors.
What he is away from home
doesn't always count for so much.
Perhaps you know some one who
is accounted Il jolly good fellow ION
the road" but whose children hunt
cover at his approach and whose
wife trcmblcs with fear when she
asks him for quarter.
Then again You may know some
man who is maligned abroad, but
who, when he arrives home, Is mel
at the threshold by loving vii" ana
children, oyerjoyed at his return
The man whose home coming is rs
II ray of sunshine, bringing bubbllhg
gloduess into the hearts Of the chill
dren and quiet peace to loving vile
and mother, is the man to bank on.
The other fellow may prosper for a
time. but the world Is bound, sooner
or later, to acquire the knowledge
already possessed by his wife and
children.
What is true regarding the family
estimate of II man is none the less
trur when ones character, alter ~
wears test, has been found worthy
the deliberate endorsement of all his
neighbors.
IT. doesn't matter whether such en-
dorsement be for political purposes
or business reasons. The fact that
his naighbors want the world to
know they appreciate the mans
worth is evidence that they believe
III him.
90 This week the News presents III
suDplemcnt form the home endorse
mrnt of Congressman Robert w
Davis, who is n candidate for tine
Office of Governor of Florida. MI
Davis has lived in Palatka many
years. He is known intimately by
all our people, and by this people III
is honorcd. The voice of the county
executive committee and the demo
cratic city convention is but the
echoing voice Of all the people o
Palatka and Putnam county.
Mr.. Davis home people know nm
believe in him, honor him, and the!
find keencst pleasure and pride II
the knowledge that the esteem il
which his character is held at hom

OR POLYGAMY?

In an address so recently as last
fall the eloquent BOurke Cochran OF
New York deplored the increase in
divorce as the one and only serious
blight upon our civilization. Con-
tinuing the orator said: "If we are
to choose between divorce and poly
gamy give US polygamy.'
If the testimony of President
Smith of the Norman church before
the senate committee, some ten days
ago, hasn't changed Bourke Cock
rams mind we would recommend for
his perusal that rather late book,
"The Lions of the Lord.'
Nowhere in recent literature is the
hideous nature of plural marriage
more fully revealed.
"The Lutte of the Holy Ghost is
Norman by birth, fanatical but
high-minded. when Brigham
Young, senile and lecherous, asked
to be sealed to the adopted daughter
of this man his heart revolts against
such Il Dissertation of Il young girl
The daughter is a confirmed Mormon,
but in love with II Gentle young
man. Sine must choose between her
religion and her lover. A somber
story is relieved by hcr escape with
the lover.
The books show how men are bru-
talizcd and women outraged by poly
gamy. All sense Of decency and
delicacy is blunted. Polygamy turns
back the dial of social progress. 1t
destroys all that society has gained
by homogeneous marriage.
No, Mr.. Cochran, you spoke too
hastily. AS between the two evils
let us choose the least-divorce.
Divorce is bad enough. It's whole
tendency is to loosen the marriage
bond. Its entire teaching is that
marriage is Il contract rather than IA
sacrament. 1t makes marriage an
agreement rather than Il state of eN-
istence. 1t is bad, though not i'll
every case wholly bad. Polygamy
in every case is wholly bad.
Divorce is Il domestic tragedy with
a bad teaching.
Polygamy is lapse into bestialtty
Il plunge into animalism-brutal, vile
and swinish.

SENATOR TALIAFERRO'S
PROSPECTS.

As the campaign advances it be-
comes more and more apparent that
Senator TalIaferro will be his own
successor, and some conservative
men, familiar with state politics.
even 70 so far rs to predict his nomi-
nation in the first primary.
The democrats of Florida love tair
play even in matters political. They
are waking up to the fact that thell
Junior senator has been unjustly
charged, even maligned, by men
whose sole object is to succeed him.
and they are preparing to resent this
unjust treatment at the primary bal
lot box.
This is not the paid-for-opinion OF
II subsidized newspaper, but it is the
simple v"icing of an opinion that
every wide awake citizen knows Is
being quietly passed from one man
to his nrighbor, from city to city,
town to town, and county to county,
all over the length and breadth OF
Florida.
That kind of an opinion is the
greatest manufacturer of votes
known TO the political world.
1t Is an opinion that counts for
much in citizenship SO closrly-knit
as is the democracy Of Florida.
The principal charge brought
against Senator TaliaferrO is that he
is the friend of corporatiOns-the cor
poration's candidate.
But what II manly way the senator
has of meeting that charge.
He points to his record in the SEN
ate and says in substance:
If my opponents will point to one
single instance in my senatorial ca-
reer where my vote has not been re-
corded in favor of the people and
against special privileges will re-
tire from the race.
1t has been the uninterrupted GUS
tom of democratic Florida to give
her senators at least two terms. This |
custom will not be broken in the
case of Senator Taliaferro, who has
been faithful servant of the state; |
whose record is without a Flemish, |
and during whose five years in office
more in substantial benefits has come |
to Florida from the general govern
ment than in any previous twenty
years.
The love of justice and fair play
which has its abiding place in the
breasts of Florida democrats is even
now at work rebuking this spirit of
which alone seeks the
political undOing of Senator Talia-
feTrO.

TELEPATHIC NEWS

Mother and Brother at st. Louis
Awakened at Hour of Death
~ in Jersey. .zz

Plainfeld, N. j., Sept. 3o.-While
neither had previously given thought
to things occult, Thomas Muir and his
mother of this city are now converts
to the theory Of telepathy.
When they went to st. Louis, few
days ago, all members Of the family at
home were in the best Of health.
Shortly after midnight. Of their sec
ond day at St. Louis, Muir awoke with
start, found himself in nervous and
apprehensive state Of mind, and was
not able to return to sleep.
Referring to the matter at the break
fast table, he was informed that his
mother had passed thru an experience
similar to his. They had awakened at
precisely the same moment.
Before they had left the table tel
egram was handed to Muir informing
him that his brother had fallen from
ladder the day before and that he
had died at the very moment when the
| pair at st. Louis, 1875 miles away as
| the crow flies, had been aroused from
sleep by some subtle warnings Of i'll
| tidings.

Ready to Amalgamate. {

Another week will witness the con-
summation Of plans for the amalgama-

While there never has been any trouble
between the two local unions, the ex.

from one trade to the other, made con-

perhaps be better satisfied under one

woodworkers jurisdiction over -carP@;n-
ters (mill hands) in certain cases. The
dispatch put the convention in an ugly
mood, and the advice was passed un-
needed. The carpenters claim that they
organized the woodworkers' craft, after
the American Federation OF Labor,
since which time the two organizations
have been at war. The brotherhood
favors consolidation, but insists that the
woodworkers come into the fold as de-
pendents of the carpenters, which does
not suit the woodworkers.
A committee will be appointed to
mated Woodworkers to devise some
method Of merger. The principal
stumbling block is the question Of
taking care of the thousand more
superannuated members now receiving
pensions from the English organiza-
tions.

of last week in the Milwaukee conven:
ton. The committee is made up of
Leonard Funk of Spokane, Wash
T.; Charles j. Elsbach, Greenwich
Conn; Franklin Pimbley, Tampa, Fla;
and James P. Murphy, Grand Rapids
Mich. The charges are based in part
upon the amount paid by the officials of
the brotherhood for the expenses OF
paper. About $4,000 a month is PAID
out for this purpose and many thought
the sum too large. The report of the
committee on President Huber's report
exonerated the officers Of the union, ani
it is thought the special committee will
do likewise. ~.
