Orient Wins
The High School Literary soci-

Banquet in Pre-
paration.

The contest between the two
literary societies came to close
yesterday afternoon. Each society
has rendered four programs.
Great enthusiasm was shown OH
both sides. AT first it, seemed the
Orients were easily in thelca but
the Occidents toward the close
brought in some excellent programs
and the Orients seemed to be ex-

ent that the score was 10 be a close
one.
After the finish Of the program
yesterday, the societies agreed to
have oysters for 100 persons, there
being that many in the two soci-
eties, including the various judges.
Prof. Ed L. Reed, Alma King and
Bert S. Yeaton were appointed a
committee to have full power for all
arrangements etc. King represents
the Occidents, Yeaton the Orients
and Reed neutral. Full details Of
the preparation for the banquet are
not yet ready for publication.
A committee Of five retired to
recitation room No. 2 to open and
count the scores allowed by various
judges. Prof. Yeaton held the re-
ports and has directed the judges
all through the contest. The two
Presidents, Hamilton and Newman
were present as Yeaton, King and
Reed took the reports and examin-
ed and recorded them. Out Of I43
possible points each, the one re-
ceived To4 and the other IoI $40

The commissioners last Friday
after investigating the case OF the
family on the Mumtord ranch who
had been quarantlned for diphther'a'
ordered the quarantine re-establishea
over the protests of County
Physician West. Drs. Hoover and
Povnter had decided that the SICK

family, was diphtheria, while Dr.
West took the opposite view.
The meeting was a lively one and
for time there threatened to be a
personal mixup, but it was hnaliy

A COMPLETE FAILURE.

The primary election law tried out by the re-
pubcans in this county this week The vercls that the
law is flat failure The following are the reasons:
First There is too much red tape to be gone through
with The idea Of having three Judges and two clerks SIT
five hours receive couple of dozen votes that could and
would have been cast in ten minutes under the old rule
peposerou for this day and Of the world II these
officials of the primary received pay it might be different
but they do not
Second Many Of the smaller precincts will be shut out
altogether if the law is to be followed
STRICTLY for the people in these precincts too busy to
waste hours their time sitting primary officials
to rec Give half Owing to the cumbersome
method required attempt will be made to follow it's
provisions and be the smaller
places without holding such primary, they will simply be
left of any say in the convention.
Third Any attempt TO pay for services, necessary to
carry on primary election would bankrupt the central
,mittees So is d labor Of love primary.
Fourth There is way OF nominating II list OF candl-
dates voted for everybody voting for who be peases
Thus plurality vote would elect and not majority, in
the days. In precinct casting twenty votes at pr-
mary would be possible to elect set OF delegates no one
of which received than two three votes
Fifth Tt is easier under the new law to 'pack" pl
mary in the of certain clique than formerly Take
west Montpelier for instance There 40 votes polled
Suppose few got together and agreed to find ten
who would go and soidy for certain fo
delegates AS majority would be required to elect the
chances are favorable that nearly if not ALL the woue
be elected though they only received othe votes
cast.
The above are a few of the why the law will
prove failure. she'll it is too cumbersome, too
strict otherwise suited to spasely settled state

The Woman on the Pedestal.

In a recent number of Golfers
Weekly, Richard Harding Davis gives
a vivid description of the Yoshiwara
of Toxic, and pictures for us 1.-THE
Ladies of the Golden Screens" Gagged
behind the bars of iron like wild
beasts. He wonders ''how a nation
can advance as Japan is advancing
when it's women hold so low and in
secure place."
1.-THE American" he says, SIS used
to placing his women folks on a pc
destal." All, yes! So he is.
In many states today women are
still standing on the pedestal of the
old English common law. Their prop
erty belongs to their husbands, even
the clothes they wear are not their
own in the eyes of the law. They
cannot buy and sell as single women
can. Their wages belong to their
husbands and they cannot make a
will.
We place our women on pedestals
by opposing their higher education,
debarring them from the learned pro-
fessions and RELOCATING them to the
kitchen and nursery. There are but
nine states in the union in which a
married mother has any right to the
custody, care to and nurture of her
own child. In the rest of the states
mothers stand on a pedestal and faith
ers have the legal right to manage
the entire lives of their children, even
to removing them wholly from the
custody, care and nurture of the
mother. In most of the states wo-
men are denied all participation in the
affairs of the government under
which they live, and they stand on
lofty pedestal along with idiots,
minors, Iunatics and criminals.
A pedestal is a good place for a
statute, but a very poor place for
live Woman Her Mace iS on the
common earth, side by side with
man, sharing his responsibilities, his
privileges and his rights. This is the
sort of pedestal to which women are
slowly and surely climbing.

The Ocala Rifles Minstrels have
again been organized for the season
and at a recent meeting a committee
was appointed to arrange for a per-

future.
Sergeant Ed. Pittman was made
manager, and if past entertainments
given by the Rifles under his man
agement are any criterion we will
have some excellent shows during
the coming season.
Some of the best local talent has
already been enlisted and Ed. is con-

when the date of the first perform

Death Of Mr.. Laurence Sims.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Word was received here yesterday
of the death of Mr.. Laurence Sims,
which occurred at Albuquerque,
New Mexico, early Tuesday morning
Mr.. Sims has been a sufferer with
consumption for several years and
was quite i'll all summer. He left a
short while ago for New Mexico
thinking it would benefit him bat
died quite suddenly as soon as he ar
rived at Albuquerque. He was son
of Mr.. j. NJ. Sims, of Valdosta, Ga,
who until a few years ago was a resi-
dent of this county and who lived in
Ocala for some years.
The deceased was a pleasant young
man of about thirty. He spent few
weeks here last winter renewing old
acquaintance, who will learn with
regret of his death Besides a father
he leaves three sisters, Mrs. Staten
and Misses Ef1ie and Madge Sims, of
this city, and to them in their great
bereavement we join their friends in

Marriage without Love.

Marriage without love-is an ethical
crime.
1t is merely shielding oneself from
condemnation of society by securing
the approval of church and state.
The offsprings of such unions are
legitimate only in the eyes of the
world.
The woman who marTies without
love proclaims herself a coward.
Marriages without love are a men,
ace to society.
They are especially dreadful in that
there is no way to put stop to them.

Degeneracy is the outcome of these
vicious compacts.
A man who is thus situated feels
that he is not called upon to consider
the feelings of the woman who bears
his name.
A woman so positioned regards the
whole world as hers-she is too free.
The child of such a home is not
proper balanced morally--he is not
physically sound-he is not intellect
ually perfect-that element which
goes toward making him the desir-
able element of society is lacking.
And yet-how strange
That which is of such Importance
cannot be remedied!
For neither men nor women are GO
ing to tell that the most wonderful
of all human feelings-love-has been
denied them.
If it were told it would be discOv-
cred that love between man and wom-
an is the most wonderful, the most
perfect and the most scarce of the
higher emotions.

The Northern Gentleman in the South

The true southerner is nothing if
not a gentleman, and he treats his
northern brother who becomes his
near neighbor just as he would eX-
pect to be treated were the situation
reversed. Much that has been writ
ten about social ostracism in the south
has sprung not from the political
faith of the one who felt ostracised,
but because in many cases the new
conner, perhaps of Indifferent social
status in his old home seemed to be
very much of the opinion that be-
cause he was from the north he
should at once be welcomed to the
inner circle of society, no matter how
exclusive, or be taken to the bosom
of the family he came across.
The southerner naturally draws the
line on the northern-born politician
who hobnobs with the colored brother
for revenue only, but for the north
ern businessman, farmer and tourist,
no matter how ardent his republican
ism. he has a hearty welcome and a
respectful consideration. B.
