DRINKS in Majority

In Chicago, where good many
new things start, a parcel of retired
brokers who have money enough to
indulge their fancies, have organized
an association for the purpose OF
helping the unemployed to get en-
ployment. 1t is called the Brother
hood Welfare Association"
The members of the association do
not spend all their time hammering
ponderous evils. They sometimes
pursue the lighter vein.
At n recent meeting, the associa-
ton divided the unemployed into
three classes thus:
Tramp-a man who doesn't work
who doesn't want to work because
work interferes with his travelling !;
lives without work and travels cons
family.
Hobo-a skilled or unskilled I'M
employed laborer without money
and looking for work.
Bum-A man who hangs around a
low-class saloon and begs or earns a
drink; usually an inebriate.
They have gathered some more in
teresting information. The associa-

months, but during that short time
ten tramps, one hundred and twenty
hobos, forty buns and thirty strand
ed professional men have applied for
work. These classitications are ac-
cording to the specifications made by
the society itself.
Going deeper into the secrets of
this organization, whose members
seem to be of statistical turn of
mind, it appears from the record
that of the applicants, twenty-five
per cent were ragged, ninety per
cent wore soiled collars, fifty per
cent had no socks, and eighty per
cent were drinking men.
The DRINKS, as usual, are in the
majority.
Whisky is responsible for more
human wrecks than any other one
agency.
If similar organizations to the Chi
cago one were to get to work in
other cities, | believe that the fig
ures would not be changed much

The Mulberry Times in an edito-
rial on "Blind Tigers" says that,
"being in the center of the tiger ter

or two about the issue" And then
the Times proceeds to lambast the
people who voted the county dry
as being responsible. That is about
as far as some brains can reason.

PAY DAY AND SOME
PLAIN DRINKS.

OF course a man who gets his pay
envelope on Saturday evening and
who thereupon proceeds to make a
human tank of himself in sort of
Notification because he has money is
fool.
Perhaps if he realized how certain
" he is his own enemy and what an
unqualified fool he is he wouldn't
do it.
But he doesn't realize it, and SO he
gets disgracefully drunk and puts a
sort of last chapter to it on Sunday !;
and on Monday he is about as mlser-
able as man can well be.
Work! Not for him. How can a
man work with a splitting head and
parched throat, and remorse in his
breast? So he lays off and over at
the store or shop or factory where he
works his case is talked over and
somebody says: 1--WE will give him
one more chance, but only one more.
Good men who are not drunkards
are too easily gotten to warrant us
putting up with sot"
Or, perhaps he is fired without an
other chance, for all employers are
not patient
The situation is not overdrawn.
The curse of business in many lines
is the inefIiciency of employees in the
early days of the week by reason OF
their personal habits.
In2 Massachusetts two or three
years ago a great number of EN-
ployes changed the weekly pay day
from Saturday to the middle of the
week. There was no attempt to CON
ceal the purpose. 1t was done tc
save men from themselves, and
many of them were grateful. A
pocket containing weeks salary
combined with day on which there
is no work, with a town full of sa-
looms, makes bad combination fol
those who are weak.
The Massachusetts, bureau of labor
statistics reported a change for the
better after the pay day was moved
from Saturday. Agents of the bu-
reau reported that they visited 4ls
Establishments, where 39,76l males

found but 81 men absent. And that

chusetts. Men there work more in
factories. But the same is true to d
limited extent in our Florida cities
and towns. Many of these cities
have REMOVED THE SALOON
and the results have been even bet
ter than in Massachusetts, where
they moved the pay day but left the
saloon.
The electors of Palatka will soon
have an opportunity to vote the sa-
looms out of this city, and if they
rise to the occasion they will not on
ly protect the morally weak, but
will improve the legitimate business
interests of the place by making pos
sible a wider and more beneficial
scattering of the contents of the
weekly pay envelope.

Hon r. Pope Reese and Hon r.
H. Rowe, representatives from Els.
Gambia and Madison counties, have
stated their determination to apply
to the courts for an injunction to
prevent the payment of the Tampa
and DeFuniak fair appropriations,
amounting to 100000 for two years in
case of the former and $4,000 for the
latter fair. There is certainly ground
for questioning the constitutional
right of the legislature to make
these appropriations. The Honor

The state tax levy has been in
creased one and q half mills this
year over last, the increase being
solely due to the liberal pension law
enacted by the last legislature. The
levy for pensions is four mills and it
is doubtful if this is found sufficient
to meet the demands to be made
upon this fund. None of the old
Confederate soldiers seem to be kick
ing at the increase, and the rest of
us will never know the difference in
a few years, when the veterans of
the Confederacy will be few in num-

Fault of Environment

1t is true Governor Broward has
made an intensely partisan governor,
but it may be said in mitigation that
he was brought up in an intensely
bitter, intolerant partisan faction,
and it is hard for one to outlive and
overcome his early impressions.
The governors early environments
have their tentacles firmly clinched
about him. -Ocala Banner.

The Perfect Mans Chance

We do not know who will be the
next governor of Florida. But we
know who should be governor, and
that is man of brains, one who
does not belong to any politicol fac
ton, a man who has no friends to
reward, and no enemies to punish, a
man big enough and patriotic
enough to lose sight of all things
save the good of the state. When
we find OUT who that man is we are
for him.-Quincy Times.

II is stated that Thos. j. Laud

]" PEACEFUL
 VALLEY"
 MADE A HIT

Although woven about a story that is as old as human passions-the story of the violation of a happy If unsophis- ticated home--the drama, Peaceful Valley" as presented by the Tanning Howard Theatrical company last night conveyed all the impression and emo- tions which seemed to wiring the hearts of those on the stage.
 This is, after all, the ultimate proof of clever work on the part of the play CTS. and when such proofs exist, the dwelling upon any little weak spot. if such be visible, Is the offspring of ul- terior motive and not of a desire to give credit where credit Is due.
 Of MT. Planning, as HoseaHowe. 1t is needless to speak. He is an artist who has the intelligence 'to interpret a part and the talent to portray it. But of Miss Howard. one is forced to the belief that she never played to more ly fitting role of the beautiful and soul7i full Virginia Rand
 Remembering the two who playef the shortest parts, MT. Baldwin sk,d Miss Allyn, those present. had hfsrne home to them once more the trutDS that real cleverness does not seprnre time for recognition.

BLOWS IN
 AND SUICIDES

FAIRBANKS, Sept.-Frank Hickson, a well-known young Pedro miner, and an old-timer in Alaska, committed sui- eide late yesterday afternoon by drink inf carbolic acid.
 With B. B. Smith, Hickson had been operating on below Pedro. Several days ago he came to town and squan- dered the greater part of the money he had saved from his hard seasons i work. When he got back to the claim he was disgusted with himself and his condition and was seized with fit of despondency he seemed unable to shake off
 Smith says the young fellow told him several times after his return that he did not intend to return to the hard labor in the drifts: that he acted as If he had lost all ambition.
 Yesterday afternoon Smith left the cabin which he and Hickson occupied to go for a bucket of water. When he returned he found his partner in an unconscious condition, and beside him an emptied carbolic acid vial.
 Hickson was still breathing, and Smith tried desperately to save him. He got Dr. Kirkpatrick from the ad- jolning claim to come to the cabin while Hickson was still alive, but the poison had been taken in such quan- tity that there was no way to save him.
 The deceased was well known throughout the camp. He had been in Alaska since the earliest days, spend- ing the first part of his stay here with the N. c. Co. in St. Michael. He was among the earliest settlers in this dis- trict. and acquired considerable min- ing property. Three years ago he work ed on 1 Goldstream. in partneship with Warren Sandford and Paul Overmire. His next venture was the Costa road house. which he finally quit to work lay on 3 below Pedro, with Warren Sandford and Elmer Persing. Finbsh- ing the lay he went into partnership with Smith on and remained there since.
 Hickson left the following letter for bis partner:
 Pedro Creek, Sept 2 or 3.

WATER ROCK STORY.

Nobody is under any obligation to
 accept as true any story emanating from the Death valley region, but mo-
 body can deny that some very strange stories from that section have been proved true. The latest one Is interest ing as fancy, if 1t is fiction, and 1t is important, as we'll as interesting, if it is fect. It is told by the Greenwater Times, as follows:
 Seven miles from Greenwater in a westerly direction, has been discovered a peculiar substance owing to the fact that 1t contains 60 per cent moisture. It Is very white formation, much re- sembling lime, but the fact Is that it Is an unknown material which even the chemists of this camp have passed up.
 It was first found by following a well-beaten path made by wild sheep and other four-footed animals, and there was such a mystery about 1t that 1t caused critical investigation. V. w. IdtTiCh, CuTlOuS Ludn any, resorted to every known device to de- termine Its worth. He had trailed his burr, to this place and found him feasting on its substance, and he took with him to camp some of it. and in testing 1t by fire he learned that the dry, white lime-like substance con- tained 60 per cent moisture.
 Mir. Patrick has been exhibiting his find, and he demonstrated the fact by lighting a match under the substance, and by contact with the flame it quick ly melts away and leaves water in it's stead. a most peculiar circumIance, uysteriousiy true and reliable, a seem- ingly impossible transformation of rock into water.
