Foundation of Good Citizenship.

Underlying all other needs is the cul-
tivation of individual strength of char
acter. of self-respect, and of the sense
Of personal honor You do not
make man better man by putting
him in the employ of the state. Nor is
the fellow who criticises everybody
else, but is quietly looking out for a
chance to get little graft himself,
the sort of man who will improve the
public service. The employer, says
Gov. Hughes, In Leslie's, who will OPP
press his men and treat them unfairly
will Cypress the people If he gets a
chance. And the employe who will
cheat his employer, or the representa-
tive of union. who will betrAy it for
his own advantage, will cheat and be-
tray the public If he is put in office.
The man who thinks the first object
in life is to serve himself, and who
thinks that the American idea is
every man for himself and the devil
take the hindmost," will never be a
faithful servant for the people.

Headstone. for Dead Soldiers.

Another impressive proof of the
growing solidarity of the country Is
furnished by the announcement that
the war department will buy head
stones and mark the graves of cap
tured confederate soldiers and sailors
who died while held in hospitals and
prisons The fact that the order to be
given will call for 10000 such head
stones indicates the magnitude of the
undertaking, and also emphasizes
anew the extent OF the sacrifice made
during the civil war, says Troy Times.
To the hundreds of thousands of union
soldiers and sailors who gave up their
lives must be added an equal If not
greater number from the south who
persisted in defense of the confederacy.
But 1t is all over, and a kindly gov
eminent, rejecting the temper OF the
people from whom it derives its pow
ers, recalling that those who fought In
gray as well as those in blue were
Americans and that their valor gave
them fame which is common heri-
tage, takes this method of showing APP
probation.

A San Francisco woman is suing her
wealthy husband for divorce because
he compelled her to eat pumpkin pie
three times a day No doubt he did
it through mere kindness of heart. He
probably thought because he liked
pumpkin pie that he was making it
pleasant for his wife when he com
PEELED her to eat 1t at every meal
What splendid world this world
would be II every man in 1t could
learn that what he thinks is right may
not always be considered right by
others. that what he covets most may
have no attractions for other people,
and that what pleases his appetite
may be revolving to those about him
The San Francisco case is merely a
variation of the old story of the saint
who had suffered martyrdom because
he could not think as others thought
or believe what he was ordered to be-
lieve.

King Alfonso as a Father.

According to the old saying, babe
in the house is wellspring of pleas
ure, and no doubt the saying II true
in most cases. Yet you never can
tell Something appears to depend on
the station in life which the babe is
assigned to fill. That the young king
of Spain is happy papa since the
heir to the throne arrived cannot be
doubted. Yet there are ample indica-
lions that the proud father Is deeply
impressed with the responsibility OF
bringing up the infant in proper fash
ion. The story goes that among the
many articles provided to amuse and
instruct the child is a large Install
ment of English juvenile literature:
provided out OF thoughtful compli-
ment to the nationality of the charm
ing mother. But here is where Alfonso
draws the line. He is said to have
overhauled the books. and finding that
they were filled with English nursery
rhymes and with pictures by English
artists he sternly remarked: These
are curious pictures for the future
king Of Spain to be reared on. i
would rather the pictures were of
Spanish soldiers But a compromise
has been effected by having the vari-
GUS blank pages In the books decorat-
ed with drawings of Spanish soldiers
and historical Incidents by Spanish
artists. II the king wants to make
real terror" of the boy, remarks Troy
Times, why not supply him with the
colored Sunday pictorial supplements
OF some American yellow journals?

The Faulkner law which compels
the overloaded booze fighter to tell
where he got his booze in prohibition
communities so that the officers may
run down the bling tiger" may not
be constitutional, as the Tampa Tri-
bune suggests; but if it amt, it
ought to be, and if it is agin that
blessed document, We are in favor
of repeating the latter so far as it
conflicts with the aforesaid law. Just
why it is unconstitutional for a wit
ness to be compelled to answer a
question which doesn't incriminate
himself when the answer may serve
the useful purpose of locating a Grim
inal, We don't understand.

Georgia Day, followed by Virginia
week, has given the tagging James
town Exposition the big impulse it
has been needing for some weeks,
and we hope that impulse may be
communicated to the whole country
and an increasing stream of visitors
will pour in. The Virginians have
done grandly in making a great Ex-
position with historical significance
and background to it to touch the
patriotic sentiment and pride of the
whole country, and it deserves the
large patronage of the American peo-
pie regardless of section.

the two poStmasters- On an issue or
population this proves nothing, and
this seems 70 be the real issue the
Banner is seeking 10 force in
roundabout way. But there are some
incidental facts which il is well
enough 10 cali attention TO in this
connection In the matter of post
ONCE business, Ocala has this adyant-
age over Live Oak, which doesn't
touch the question of population or
growth: The great phosphate min
ing companies of two large counties,
Marion and Citrus, use the Ocala
postOfice for mailing purposes as the
nearest available Office OF suitable
facilities for that end These COM
panies have very large correspond
ence and every piece of mail sent or
received by them helps to swell the
strictly local business-but does not
help the case of Ocala in any COM
parison Of its population, prosperity
and resources with Live Oak. The
Tallahassee postofice does more bust
ness than ours because of the i'm
mense correspondence Of the various
departments of the State Govern
ment, but that does not change the
fact that Tallahassee is not the equal
of Live Oak in either population or
commerce.
And outside the census figures, our
city shrinks from no comparison with
Oeala in intelligence, business and
growth. Even while we write, the
cheerful music of the carpenters
tools in action comes floating through
the open windows from the business
section and We dare say that no other
city of its class in the State can
show more high-class building now
going on than We can. Our beauti-
full hotel is nearing completion, and
next winter We will be in the market
for the tourists. But it is useless to
enumerate; we have all that Ocala
has and more, too, barring that
electric elevator which the Banner
parades as an asset that puts its town
in the lead. We are short on that
just at present until our hotel is
completed, but the shortage is more
than compensated in the fact that
we've got a gen-u-wine automobile
garage and a Chauffeur with a French
name, Just like you were in New
York city itself, and great, gorgeous
motor cars, with patrician glass
shields, rushing over our beautiful
shaded streets and avenues and
boulevards every afternoon, past
long rows of stately mansions where
our haut ton reside. And in those
same cars you'll see the brightest
eyes, the fairest cheeks, the loveliest
faces and the most fetching costumes,
for in the matter of pretty girls the
Banner will confess that we are be-
yond the reach of even its calumnious
shafts and our supremacy is secure
Has Ocala got a garage, that's the
question? And if so, can it show up
a French chaffeur with the true
Partisan accent and moustache to
give tone and chic to the establish
ment? If not, let her hide her
diminished head and put the proper
crimp in the folds of her braggart
Banner, for Live Oak has got her
faded.

The times says:
