The Root Of All Evil.
The Monograph editor says that we
are told in Holy Writ that money IS
the root of all evil" Holy Writ don
say any such thing. and when you de-
pend on those Washington correspond
ents to quote Scripture you will al
ways get left. The Good Book speaks
Of "the want of money" being the root
Of all evil.-Gainesvill Sun.
The Deaf and Blind School
The decision of the state board oil
cntrol to leave the State Institute for
the Deaf and Blind at st. Augustine,
announced in the Record yesterday,
meets with the approval OF almost
everyone in the Ancient City.
st. Augustine is proud Of the Deaf
and Blind School as it is recognized as
one Of the most important of the state
educational institutions. For many
years an active campaign has been
carried on here to secure much needed
improvements for the school. All
classes of citizens have united in loyal
support and it will be gratifying to re-
alize that at last there is a prospect
of something being done.
It viii be the aim and purpose of
the board of control to make this in
stitution what it ought to be, the best
CT its kina in the South.
Through the liberality of the Board
of Trade and many leading citizens, a
splendid site is to be provided. Then
will follow new buildings, suited to
the. needs of Floridas afflicted sons
and daughters. Within the next three
years the institute for the Deaf and
Blind will be well equipped; credit
to the state ana to the city in which
it is loeated.-St. Augustine Record
Raspberry Park Excepted.
Yellow fever in New Orleans does
not cause the alarm in Florida ii

ago. Truth of the matter is Florida's
sanitary conditions are well nigh per
feet, with the possible exception OF
Raspberry Park, Jacksonville's crimi-
nal resort-West Palm Beach Sun.
Not Worth While.
Young man, remember that Senator
Plat, near the close of one of the most
successful careers in. politics noted in
the history of the country, says it is
not worth while and that if he had TO
live his life over again he would act
differently. You can act differently
right now, at the beginning of your
life. Better do it.-Tampa Times.

system of criminal justice in this coun-

when radically different conditions
prevailed, is now VIGOROUSLY ineffect.f
i've, and criminals escape so easily
through the weak meshes of the law
that the fear of punishment has ceas-
ed to deter them from crime. This is
especially true Of criminals who can

no prospect of it in sight-Live Oak
