thority, who says that Rheumatism

Just try this simple home made
mixture at the first sign of Rheuma-

STUPID CHILDREN.

II don't know what | am going to
do with my boy. He don't seem to
be able to keep up with his classes
in school and is getting discouraged.
He got mad short time ago because
he was dropped into lower class
and he played 'hooky.' I'm having
a time with him."
What to do with the stupid-the
mentally deficient-child is not a
new problem, but it is serious one.
1t is particularly serious in a sparce-
Iy settled section like Florida.
But the problem, serious as it is,
has engaged for some time the at
tention of educators in the east. For
several years Boston has been pay
ing special attention to the educa-
ton of this class of children. New
York also is beginning to do so. An
investigation in the latter city made
some time ago shows that nearly 2
per cent of the children in the public
schools are mentally deficient. Such
children are handicapped by the
present uniform methods of teach
ing. They need the care of specially
trained teachers.
1t is not to be supposed that all
the mentally deficient children are
in New York and Boston. We have
them here. The father quoted above
had one.
The causes of this mental deficien-
cy are numerous. 1t may be heredi-
tary; it may be improper food; or
physical defects, or tobacco, liquor,
coffee or tea. There are a great
many causes, but is it not possible
to remove them by the right kind of
training?
Ought not the state to do some
thing for the stupid child? AS our
schools are now conducted, he is al
ways at the tag end of his classes.
He retards the progress of his class
mates and annoys his teachers. He
is different from his fellows. He
can't keep up and he is dropped from
class to class until he loses hope and
gradually drifts into the life of the
truant, from which the chances are
he will drift still further to the life
of the criminal.
The state must do something fol
this boy. 1t is either an effort tC
give him the special training be
needs and thus help him to become
a useful and respected citizen, or ii
is to allow him to be ridiculed by
his playmates, and through discour-
agement and chagrin, become bur
den to society, either as worthless
ne'er-do-well or an outright criminal

low flung mind, bent by considera-
lions of business, to an effort to dam
age the character and thus destroy
the influence of the men and the
newspapers in this state who do not
see in his new-found friends the in
carnation of political wisdom and
virtue.
Having wrung from him the ad-
mission that brands his editorial
Stops as the genuine article of n.y.
pocricy we now pass to the equally
easy task of proving that he is an
editorial thug who does not hesitate
to bear false testimony in further
ance of his nefarious work. To do
this we have to go no further than to
oppose truth against his utterances.
The News regrets that it has not
the space to give this article entire,
but the balance has to do with ques-
tions of a local nature in which Mr..
Matthews was personally interested.
Suffice it to say that L'Engle has
woke up lion in Speaker Matthews
and one who will tear off his masks of
hypocracy as fast as he can replace
them.

Laws are Working Satisfactorily

In an interview with Chairman r.
Hudson Burr of the State Railroad
Commission the Meteor representa-
tive was told that the railroad legis-
lation enacted by the last legislature
and which has been so scathingly
denounced by the railroads through
out the state, is working most salts
factorily to the people. The law
compelling the separation of the
whites and negroes by providing
separate waiting rooms in the depots
is being complied with; the SlO a
mile tax is regarded as most just, as
also the law compelling the payment
for lost or damaged freight or ex-
press, and the act giving the COM
mission the power to appoint rail
road inspector is proving fruitful of
good results.-St. Augustine Meteor.

Made TO Order Negro Problems

Much has been said about negroes,
as a rule, voting the wet" ticket in
prohibition elections and probably a
majority of them do; but it is note
worthy that in the election in Citrus
county the other day only two ne
groes in Crystal River. out of very
considerable number, voted against
prohibition. Whisky is an enemy to
all, white and black alike, but it is
the chief enemy of the colored race
in this country today. One bottle of
the stuff can make a negro problem
of the most dangerous character right
on the spot in less than twenty min
utes by the watch in any part of the
South where negroes are numerous,
and we will solve the most difficult
phases of the problem in its entirety,
just in proportion as we abolish the
use of whisky. 1t is pleasant to know
that there is growing element in
our negro population firmly com
mitted to prohibition, and that as
the years go by this clement will
steadily increase. Here in the south

Six O'Clock Folk.

How many of our readers know what
a &c o'clock man" is? Miss Spurgeon,
one of the lecturers in English at Bed
ford college, Baker street, has coun-
try cottage and an old 'Ralph's mill''
in the middle of Westleton heath, Sax
mundbam. The other day non-Suf-
folk lady told her that her gardeners
wife had often said, 1--WE are 6 o'clock
people," and she had taken it to mean
''early risers." But soon after some
one said that this lady's husband was
"a O'Clock gentleman" and as she
knew that he didn't get up early she
asked what the epithet meant and
was told, Upright, like the hands of
the clock are at O'clock" Another
use of the word in Suffolk is seen in
Giving upright''-that is, on independ-
ent Westminster Gazette.

When Liar Meets Liar

A preacher came at newspaper
man in this way: You editors do
not tell the truth. If you did you
could not live; your newspapers
would be a failure. The editor re-
piled: You are right aud the minis
ter who will at all times and under
all circumstances tell the whole
truth about his members, alive or
dead, will not occupy his pulpit
more than one Sunday, and then he
will find it necessary to leave town
in hurry. The press and the pull
pit go hand in hand with whitewash
brushes and pleasant words, magni-
flying little virtues into big ones,
The pulpit, the pen, and the grave
stone are the great saint-making
triumvirate. And the great minister
went away looking very thoughtful
while the editor turned to his work
and told of the unsurpassing beauty
of the bride, while in fact she was as
hOmely as mud fence.-Wauchula

; What State Editors are Saying
Great City Of Birmingham Dry

1t seems almost too good to be
true, but if the press dispatches are
to be believed, the white banner of
Prohibition now floats above the en-
pire city of the south and over the
greatest of Alabama's political sub
divisions.
Jefferson county including Birm-
ingham is dry. The great fight for
better morals, cleaner politics, hap
pier homes, and a more prosperous
community has been fought and
won, and the victory is as clear-cut
and decisive as the battle itself was
valiant and strong.
LAS goes Birmingham, so goes the
state has been the slogan for the
past three weeks, and with such a
moral example before it who can
doubt that the sovereign state of Ala
bama, whose legislature convenes in
special session next month, will
follow Georgia and drive out forever
the liquor traffic from its borders?
And as Alabama follows Georgia,
so will Florida follow Alabama.
Governor Broward will within all
probability call a special legislative
session within the next ninety days,
and if the legislature cannot vote the
state dry at one single stroke, it at
least can and will vote such restrlc-
tive measures that few if any liquor
men will care to continue the bust
ness.
Florida congratuIates you, citizens
of Birmingham and Jefferson county,
and joins with you in the hope that
the victory so magnificently won
will simply prove the forerunner OF
the greater victory for state prohibit
ton, which should and must come
