LAMAR'S CALL DOWN.

Without exception the democratic
press of southern cities condemn
Congressman Lamar for his play to
the galleries" of Florida by open de-
fiance of the democratic leader, John
Sharp Williams, on the floor of the
House last week. Mr.. Lamar and
Mr.. Shackleford had not been re-
named as members of the committee
on interstate and foreign commerce.
The reason assigned by Mr.. Will
liams for not naming them was that
as members of that committee in the
former congress they had refused to
support the democratic caucus meas
ure on the subject of railroad rate
legislation. They had placed them
selves above and superior to party
opinion. For this reason if for no
other Mr.. Williams felt that he was
justified in not naming Mr.. Lamar
and Mr.. Shackleford for this COM
mittee of the new congress. my
brother would have gone off that
committee under the same circum-
stances" said Mr.. Williams.
But Mr.. Williams seems to be u
Judge of men as well as measures.
At any rate he seems to have located
Mr.. Lamar mentally when in COM
pairing him to his great uncle, the
late Mr.. Justice l.. q. G.. Lamar, he
said: This great uncle possessed
'superb egotism, but he also possess
ed, to consecrate it, a superb in
tellect." He didn't say the nephew
was lacking in the latter quality ex-
cept by implication.
Mr.. Williams action has been ap-
proved, not alone by the southern
press, but by almost the unanimous
opinion of members of the minority
side Of the House.
The Tallahassee True Democrat,
published in Mr.. Lamar's district
sizes Mr.. Lamar about as correctly
as does Mr.. Williams when it stated:
Congressman w. b. Lamar, of this
Congressional District, having been
left off of the Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee, had quite
tilt with Minority Leader Williams
at the session of Congress on the 10th,
and during the confusion which fol-
lowed the tilt, Mr.. Lamar shouted:
"Mr. Speaker, he went to the news
papers with it," Now, who goes into
the newspapers more than does our
w. B. Lamar, when he wishes Flor
idians to know what great things he
has done, or is going to try to do? Oh!
that vain little darling of ours.

up so many o. the little chunks that the
crowd yelled to put Reagan out be-
kase he was stoppin' the show, and |

There were times when he whirled

And while he whirled he seemed to be

CHRISTMAS CHARITY.

A Christmas gift must express
affection and good will, or it is meaE-
ingless. 1t must give joy, or it is a
failure. There must be undivided
pleasure in the giving, or it is a
mockery. Unless it does all these it
is sacrilege. 1t is through the
combination of them all that the
humblest little tokens are treasured
and Christmas is made the gladdest
day of all the year
The giving of presents has become
the chief feature of the festival. 1t
even has made the celebration of the
nativity take secondary place. Good
will toward men is recognized as of
equal Importance with glory of God
in the highest. Material expressions
of affection are in themselves u form
of worship that in drawing friends
nearer together, in sOftening antagon-
isms, in disseminating cheer, in re-
lieving want and in intoxicating a
spirit of charity, lift mankind closer
to God and make earth nearer to
heaven.
There can be no holier sentiment
attached to gift on that day than
charity, for it combines all that is
good and tender in human emotion.
There is a double joy in charity, for
it blesses two. Charity not only
gives happiness in the act itself, but
it quickens and develops, for all af-
ter life, pure, precious qualities of
mind aud heart that are an overflow
ing well-spring OF peace. Charity
comes nearer to spanning the i'm
measurable space between the sin of
this life and the holiness of heaven
than any other blessing that man
knows.
If in the fall of Adam there was
any quality that did not degenerate,
if there was anything saved from
paradise to remind humanity of
what had been lost, it was charity.
There is much for us all in Christ
mas if we but take it. In giving to
friends we must not overlook the
richer mine of joy that lies in the
penny to the poor.
Christmas is not complete for us if
We fail to give comfort to the needy
and cheer to the downcast. 1t is a
sacred duty to ourselves, for in it is
the best joy that the day can give or
that this life can know.

A primitive notion existed among the
Romans and other races that a bridge
was an offense and injury to the river
god. as 1t saved people from being
drowned while fordins or swimming
across and robbed the Deity Of certain
number Of victims which were his due.
For many centuries in Rome propitia-
tory offerings Of human victims were
made every year to the Tiber. Men
and women were drowned by being
bound and flung from the wooden Sub
liclan bridge, which, till nearly the end
Of the republican period, was the one
and only bridge across the Tiber In
Rome.
