WHAT THEPAPERS SAY.

Last January this paper predicted
the election of William Jennings Bryan
and was laughed at. Again after the
election in Maine it repeated it's predic-
tion The Boston Herald has sent its
Washington editor. Mr.. Walker, on
tripsthrough the West to size up the
situation and get the exact facts. the
truth, regarding the state OF the can
.vass. He writes that the labor vote
that has been cast for the republican
candidates in the past is largely going
to BRYAN and that the republicans are in
great danger of losing Ohio, Indiana
and Wisconsin if not Iowa and Illinois.
He saws it looks like a Bryan landslide.
AFR. Baldwin, the head of the Baldwin
locomotive Co., who keeps in close
+ouc,, with the men in the employ OF
that Great company, says that per-
sonal canvass of the shops shows that
majority of the men who have here
tofore voted the republican ticket Will
vote for Bryan. These are cold facts.
Bryan will be elected. burlington

The new administration under the
hoad Of Governor G. H. Prouty OF
Nownort takes effect at once. he came
ont with his message on Thursday al
ternoon Immediately after taxing the
10Th Of office and declared himself IN
favor Of some of the things that he has
boon talking about since his nomlna
tion. They are progressive measures
md If carried through will certalnl!
materially change affairs IN some de
oartments.
One of the chief recommendation
10 the call for a taxation commission
and abolition of offsets for debts ow

mendations Of the double taxation com
mission which spent two years IN gel
tho material and in an exhaustlV
study of the question. ,,c.

that used to go to special masters and
referees. He also favors a system
of district courts to handle petty cases
which now go to county court from
municipal and justice courts. Appeal
can be taken from this court directly
to the supreme court on matters of
law only.
Another important measure is a
special insurance department. He
believes that the increased business of

Truthful and Poinssl.

The following truthful and -65ointed
paragraphs, we take from the Madison
New EqteFfppFISe:
-Ch6ve we reached the turning point in
Florida pOliticsi Is it possible that the
"three friends" combination is about to
be bToken and that the people win come
again into their ownl
We haven't seen the figures and can't
therefore, prove it, but we do believe
the Hon. William Sherman Jennings
has been elected TO stay at home and
that the Hon. T. Albert Jennings will
serve as national committeeman from
the State Of Florida. And this being
true we can only say we are sincerely
glad.
Tom Appleyard, it seems, didn't win
out IN his race for comptroller, but he
has the consolation of knowing that
many of his brother editors in various
parts Of the State also failed to reach
the goal of their several ambitions
through the will Of the people expressed
at the polls. In some parts Of Florida
editors are appreciated, but in most
parts it is wise for the aforesaid editors
to keep out of the political race them
selves and put In their time and talents
whooping 1t up for the politicians who
usually get there through the editors
efforts.
His most rapid opponent must con-
cede that in the campaign just finished
Fletcher conducted himself and his can
vass on the highest plane. That he did
not descend into the CRIME of dirty per-
BOnal politics as did some Of his oppo-
nents will tend to his advantage. in the
race now before him. ne Is IA clean
gentleman, faithful to every trust, and
his eminent service to tie party from

ward entitled him 10 the consideration
Of every loyal Democrat. With Fetch

Florida will be represented brilliantly
and safely.
Werather think the friends Of Lamar
and Beard throughout the State will
not soon forget the severe lambagtings
administered by Governor and candidate
Broward TO those gentlemen IN the
AW0eks preceding the first primary.
And we rather think alno that the
aforesaid friends of the aentlsmen will
feel more like giving tE votes and
support in the second primary to the
candidate who durine The strenuous

the fact that he wae q gentleman and

Florida School Exponent: All educa-
tors agree that the progress Of the
school depends on good order. BY order
is meant, in general, that no one inter-
feres with the school work that is car
ried on, by movements, noise, actions
or speech. A school where each one is
cheerfully engaged in carrying forward
after q plan the needed work, yet not
interfering with others, shows the es-
sentials Of good order. The aim Of the
teacher must be TO cultivate habits Of
self-government, not merely to keep q
still school. believe that sympathy
between teacher and pupil should al
ways exist and that we should always
show great interest in pupils work In
eide and outside of school. / also be-
lieVe that we must mix iron with our
love and firmness il we do not want
our pupils to be weak and childish.
No emotion is played upon to produce
instant results, especially upon young
pupils, then the emotion Of fear. The
child who Obeys through fear or the
fear of punishment, never rises to the
higher ground of perfect Development
obedience through love. We should re-
member that 1.-THE fear of the Lord is
the beginning of wisdom only the be-
ginning of wisdom. AS we grow per
feet love casteth out fear" / believe
in allowing pupils quite good deal Of
freedom, such as leaving the room, get
ting a book needed, etc, without per-
mission. These privileges they may
enjoy so long as they interfere not with
the rights and freedom Of others.
] think the teacher is often to blame
for much of the disobedience in school
simply because of the way he requests
or commands things to be done-a polite
request insures a work done well, while
u gruff command usually entails poor,
careless results or no results at all.
Life is not smooth and easy, and it is
wrong for the teacher to make it 80 for
the pupil while he is in school, Let Us
teach the pupils that the more they are
educated the more they will get out of
life, because they have put more into
it. 1t is more important that youths
should learn honor, purity and manli-
ness than that they should become ex-
pert readers, grammarians and the
like.
Some one has said Conduct Is three
fOurths Of life," and since conduct is
fashioned by self-cOntrOl, the chief end
of discipline is self-control. Discipline
is not only a condition for successful
school work, but it is one of the most
vital elements in the end sought for
character.
Dickinson says:
THE tWiR Is so easily bended,
have banished the rule and the rod;
/ have taught them the goodness Of
knowledge.
They have taught me the goodness of
God.
My heart Is a dungeon Of darkness
When ! shut them from breaking the
rule;
Ny frown is sufficient correction;
Ny love is the law of the school"

ONE YEooMAN USES GUN, THE
OTHER GETS THE CASH
About $1s6 Taken, and Police Lose the
Trail, Delay Arising by TeIe-

Cut

While one yeggman pressed revol-
yer to the head of G. Ohnemiller, su-
perintendent of Evergreen cemetery,
and at the same time ordered Mrs.
Ohnemiller to throw up her hands, his
companion blew open the safe with
two charges of nitro-glycerine at 2
O'Clock yesterday morning. The rob-
bers then made their escape with the
contents of the safe, about $186.
When Ohnemiller rushed to the tele-
phone. as the robbers left the place, he
could obtain no answer. An investiga-
ton was made and 1t was found the
wires had been cut. Ohnemiller dressed
hurriedly and finally succeeded in noti-
flying police headquarters at 3 a. m.
Detectives Mccain and Murray were
put on the case and traced the men
across the cemetery. but there the trail
was lost.
Ohnemiller. who lives In the rear Of
the cottage used as an office by the
Evergreen Cemetery company, was
awakened by the flash of an electric
lamp, He was ordered to rise and
hold up his hands. Both the burglars
were masked. While one covered
Ohnemiller and his wife with large
revolver the other went to the office
In front and placed a charge of nitro
glycerine about the combination. He
then placed q rug over the safe and
ignited the fuse.
The explosion destroyed the COM
bination, but did not release the door.
A second charge, however, blew the
contents of the safe all over the room.
Quickly gathering up tho gold and
leaving the papers lying on the floor,
the robbers departed.

SIGNING NAME TAKES
EIGHT HOURS WEEKLY Y
HORACE B. FERRIS WRITES
AND WRITES
Demands of Aqueduct Business En-
failing Much Additional Labor on
Secretary of the Board of
Public Works

With the dirt flying faster and faster
every day In the construction of the
aQueduct there is necessarily an In
creased amount of work in every other
department of the city that handles
aqueduct matters.
The office of the board of public
works is the one in which this increase
is felt most, and the burden of actual
clerical work falls heaviest on Horace
B. Ferris, secretary of the board OF
public works. His chief labor Is get
ting to be the attaching of his sigma
ture to acquisitions and demands.
Last week the secretary was com
PEELED to sign Horace b. Ferris tc
nearly $500 documents. All demands
and reuuisitions for the aqueduct are
made in quadruple, and City Auditor
Mushet will not accept and pass de-
mands signed with a rubber stamp.
With tired and aching fingers Ferris
one day last week signed his name ozu
times. The $500 signatures he maze
during the week represents more than
eight straight hours labor, or one work
ing day out of the six devoted to doing
nothing else. Ferris working days are
more than eight hours, however, for he
often burns the midnight oil in order
to sign his name several hundred times
more.
What with the turning overpages to
find the place where he attaches MS
signature to a document, dipping his
pen and blotting the paper Ferris finds
it possible by breathing hard and
putting his tongue in his left cheek,
to sign his name, on an average,
five or six times a minute. In ad-
dition to this he has to do the
regular secretary work of the board OF
public works, and aqueduct matters IN
crease this work still further. II the
work continues to increase as 1t has In
the last few weeks an under secretary
will have to attend to the details of the
board of public works, while Ferris sits
at his desk hour after hour, day after
day and night after night, writing
Horace B. Ferris" at the bottom OF
demands and reQuisitions.
