One Of FlOrida's Rhodes Scholarship

hOpOrs from his athletic colleagues.
Oxford and Cambridge Universities
are TO have q championship contest IN
various exercises, including, besides
others, long and short distance running,
high jumping, pole jumping, hurdle
racing and hammer throwing. IL was

American Rhodes men seem TO be

These University contests are usually
held in London before an audience Of
between sixty and eighty thousand per-
sons, among them being many of the
highest aristocracy. Even royalty it
self often becomes a spectator of these
games made famous by an annual re-
currence of more than a century,
The Wise Man says, "a wise son
maketh q glad father" Translating a
''Wise son." as one who makes the
best of all his opportunities, Professor
Buchholz has scriptural authority for
being, as he doubtless is, proud Of the
success his boy is achieving in tar-aWay
and his friends are rejoicing
with him.

er, however In case of fra in a busi-
ness block on the south side of the
street, it would have to be fought
from the opposite side of the street
or the firemen would have to drag
their hose through the ditch and over

fires that would arise as the result

would ensue as the result would allow
a dangerous conflagration to spread

iginated north of Main street and be-
tween the limits mentioned. the COM

would be barred until 1t had crossed
Main at Ninth street and proceeded

The conditions have been recogniz-
ed by the chief of the fire department
and the assistant chief and both have
spoken to members of the board.
Nothing came of the matter, however.
The city's steam roller was engaged
this morning in packing the bottom of
the trench preparatory to the placing
of the concrete mixture. This was the
second time it had been used for the
purpose. Last week the concrete gang
was busy near Third and Main
streets. Water to mix the cement was
taken from the public drinking foun-
tain at the corner of Third street. 1t
was carried away in buckets and the
supply in the basin was exhausted at
once. The buckets were inserted be-
meath the inlet and filled direct from
this. Street Commissioner Dye was
asked If there was any agreement
whereby the company used water the
city pays for to mix its cement. He
said he had not heard of any and did
not know of theF incident at Third
street.

to legitimate wealth but we do have
the privilege of objecting to the faint
ed methods by which some men get
millions.
THE greatest difficulty in the way
of reform today is the Indifference of
the private individual. Go into any
town and you will find that the good
people are in the majority. But a
dozen 1awbreakers can make more
noise than a hundred good men. They
gather around the officers of the city
and by their clamor influence them.
How often does a city awaken and
elect a reform ticket. Go back six
months hence and the reform has van
ished. Why? Because the good people
have not encouraged the officers. The
lawless tell the officials that though
the good people rise up once in awhile
they must depend upon the liberal
element for continued support. Too
often these officials are led on until
they find themselves lost in the quick
sands of dishonor. 1t is much the cas-
lest to serve the lawless than the law
abiding. | hope the time will come
when the good people will make the
officers understand that it is good pol
itics to serve the law-abiding. 1t
makes no difference whether the man
who violates the law is democrat or
republican. He ought to be hunted
out and punished. After all he is but
a democrat or republican but criminal.
"This public conscience is marching
on and on, changing the ideas of men.
Unless it continues its way this repub-
lie will be like a building erected
without mortar We may build our
towers to the heavens but they will
fall The greatness of an empire
does not depend upon the length OF
it's lands nor the strength of its bat
tleships, but the conscience of it's peo
pie. Let US enforce the laws, meet
the problems as they come before us
keep ever at the front the ideals Of q
pure conscience, and the life of the ma
ton will be perpetuated forever"

JUST A FEW RECRUITS
Manager Camel of the Reds
Will Not Try Out Many
Youngsters.
HOBLITZEL is WANTED.

Manager Camel has decic4a to try
out as many of the recruits as possible
this fall, and his reasons for. doing so
will appeal to all thinking fans. What
the club principally needs is pitchers,
and the Red leader will make every eff
fort to have all the twirling recruits
report as soon as they can get away
from their present engagements. He
will thus get a chance to look them
over in real battles at a time when
they are at their best, which is much
more satisfactory than trying them out
in the spring. This plan will enable
the manager to eliminate any of the
youngsters who have no chance to
make good, and take South on the
1909 training trip only those men who
have a reasonable chance of sticking
with the club. Camel hopes to have
Hoblitzel report some time this week,
and to try him out in a few games at
first base during the long home series
which has just begun. Then he will
try to secure Aubrey in time to take
him along on the final Eastern trip
and look him over. The same policy
will be followed with the comparative
ly small number of infield and out
field recruits who have been secured
from the minor leagues. Probably only
three gardeners will be asked to re-
port, Daley, Bescher and E4lis, the lat
ter a very heavy batter from the coast.
Egan, the sensation of the Tristate
league, is about the only infield candi-
date who will be tried out. BY the
close of this season Manager Camel
expects to have pretty good line on
the new material at his disposal. He
figures that, in this way. he will not
have to take more than % players
South next spring, and he is planning
to carry 20 of them through the sea-
son, including at least seven, and pos
sibly eight pitchers.

Entrance to the Gennett home, at

to have been an amateur as he over

Drawers were opened and the contents

The furniture was found to have been
moved about in a number of rooms.
Word was telephoned to police head

at the Gennett home but could find no
trace or clue. They made an exami-

Supt. Bailey is of the opinion the
robbery at the Gennett home probably
was that of an amateur. The thief
overlooked large amount of valuable
silverware and numerous other articles
of worth 1t is presumed he was in
search of money only. The Gennett
home is one of the finest in the city.
Mr.. Robbins is unable to state
whether the visitor at his home is a
white or colored man. He describes
him as being above the average in
height and very muscular and agile
He wore overshoes or rubber soled
shoes as he made no noise in moving

to hunt up some fat, greasy saloon
keeper and get his support. He does
not do that today. 1t used to be said
that the wine room laws could not be
enforced, but they are. In Missouri
the Sunday spree is a thing of the
PAST. The butcher and the baker are
prospecting. Many wife and many
a mother have written to me that she
now has something to eat where she
once was hungry. One such letter is
worth more than the praise of all the
liquor dealers.
For Law Enforcement.
THE public man is pursuing his true
course. Many times he looks out at
Il perfect wall of frowning humanity
but in that crowd he will now and
then see a smiling face that will help
him on to duty.
'All laws should be enforced. If
there is a bad law the remedy is to re-
peal it, not disregard it. The corpo-
ration magnate looks at the laws cur
failing his corporation as tyrannical.
The housebreaker thinks that the law
which restraints him is an interference
with his business. 1t is my experience
that any law looks blue to the man
that it represses. He cries out for lib
erty. There was once in America the
kind of liberty he wants, but that was
before Columbus sailed. 1t was not
liberty, but barbarism; it was not lib
erty, but license.
There is a demand that the man
who assumes office enforce the law.
He has no more right to disregard his
trust than another man has to give
brides. There is an embezzlement of
power as well as of money. And the
day will come when the embezzlement
of power will be as great an offe1se
as the embezzlement of money.
Golden Age Before Us.
The world is growing better. Poets
have sung of a golden age which lies
somewhere in the past. But | believe
that the golden age lies before us.
The time will come when the golden

which they are just awakenin in his
state, Pennsylvania. There are many
subjects such as partial payments and
cube root which have no place In the
grade arithmetic today. In their
places mental arithmetic and fuller
mastery of all mechanical processes
are to be emphasized. 1t Is much to
our credit to know that the reforms
which he pointed out have already
been effected in the Richmond
schools.
Supt. Haines, the elongated man
from Hamilton, had an address laden
with thought for the country teachers.
He predicted that the time will come
when the country teacher will be furn-
ished his house and grounds and be-
come a permanent fixture in the COM
munity. He should be paid a salary
ranging from $500 to $4,000 and he
must be neither man without ambi-
ton nor city graduate unable To
make a city license. He would give
the country child more sanitary build
ings and teach him agriculture.
Above all he would prohibit the young
man from the city making a starting
place of the country school.

thoroughly organized and the outlook
for the future is brilliant. There
were some 500 delegates present at the
national meeting. this number being
smaller than usual because of the place
being so far in the East and not cen
