BrSvard for Senator.

The Tampa Tribune hears that "pOsi.
tiYeiy' Governor BroWard will be 9
candidate before the primaries Of next
spring for the great Office of United
States Senator.
This will hardly be news, If true, al
though It may be important
The richness of the suggestion is in
the idea that Broward win submit to a
primary.
He will have to do so to get the nomi-
nation, of course.
But, now, really, what fine time he
will have in explaining to the Florida
voters the quality Of nerve which per-
mits him to violate the primary laws
himself, and then appeal to the same
law to secure the honor.
Just suppOsing that he should receive
majority of the votes cast in the pri-
mary, and the legislature should refuse
to be bound by the action of the pri-
mary.
Would he howl? Well, rather.
It might be we'll for the prospective
candidate to watch the vote that he will
not get in Dade county, if he ventures
TO run. - Miami Record

Rat In Bed with BridsamaI6s.

A Port Jarvis, New York, dispatch

account Of the fun a rat had with some
bridesmaids
Miss Bessie Bontree, who, with the
Misses Agnes Haggerty and Frances
Williams, were bridesmaids at the we'd

what she describes as an lawful eXpe-

bed in which the girls slept.
After the wedding 1t was found the
last train had gone, and they we're
forced to stay all night at the home Of
the bride. They were assigned to the
'spare room" which contained a big,
old.fashioAed bed. After they had
placed bits Of wedding cake beneath
their pillows they went TO sleep.
About midnight one of the young
women, awakened by the noise, aroused
the others. It seemed to them that
some ono was trying TO enter the room.
Miss Bessie arose from bed and
lighted tallow dip ard saw q rat run
across the bed in which she and her
companions had been sleeping. The
rat jumped upon the washstand and
commenced 70 eat a piece of wedding
cake which it had flched from beneath
one Of the pillows.
Miss Bessie hoped back into bed,
and the three frightened young women
consulted as to the best course TO pur-
sue.
'I'll tell you what to do" said Miss
Haggerty. I'm get a cup of water
from the pitcher, you open the door,
and maybe when the rat is wet 1t will
run out Of the room"
This was done, and when the rat was
doused with water it began to scamper
about the room, and then the girls with
screams Of fright, leaped back In bed

His sermons, always beautifully and
forcefully written, held, as their domi-
nant thought, love and charity for all
men.
During his long pastorate here Of Is
years, DR.. Carter's life was an object
lesson OF cheerful and patient serenity.
Full of energy and possessed Of q mar
velour will-power he seldom allowed his
physical condition, which was often very
feeble, to interfere with the perform
ance of his clerical duties, and his wish
was that death might find him Gin har-
ness" In the midst Of their grief his
people are glad that he had his desire

MAKE PLEA FOR
FRATERNITIES
HIGH SCHOOL SOCIETIES HAVE
AN INNING
Board Of Education lie Asked to Make
Order Less Rlgorous-De-
mand for an Oath le
Dropped

Parents of boys interested in high
school fraternities appeared before the
board of education last night to urge
d partial recognition of the societies.
H. w. O'Melveny, Lee c. Gates, W. A.
Spalding and Leo J. Mcclure spoke for
the fraternity members and asked that
those who had Joined before the board
placed the ban upon secret bodies be
allowed to retain their rights to MEM
bership. AS a result Of the discussion
considerable misapprehension which
had existed on the subject was cleared
away.
Mr.. O'Melveny denounced the state
ment that the board required an oath
from high school boys supporting the
assertion that fraternity membership
had been dropped. TT is proceeding
unworthy of this board to compel the
boys to take OATH" he said. "They are
ali straight. honorable and good boys
and good students, and 1t Is practically
an insult to them and calculated to
make them dishonest"
Members Of the board asserted that
the oath was not required, and Presi-
dent Scott said that a statement upon
honor was considered sufficient by all
the board.
we 90 HOL lHSl5L upon OobAA1
said Superintendent Moore. Il have
received a great many statements upon
the honor of the boys. This misappre-
hension arose out of the fact that the
ruling of the board Is that where an
oath is required upon joining the fra
ternity a statement equally binding as
to resignation Is asked. / consider the
word of a parent sufficient"
Mr.. Gates referred to the first request
of the board made of fraternity MEM
bers In January, 1907, not to continue
limitations, and suggested that those
who were members at that time be al
lowed to retain their affiliations.
but they went on taking in new
members and told us they would pay no
attention to our request" said Joseph
Scott. I'VE thought then that fair
request coming from this board would
be sufficient"
Melville Dozier and other members
thought that the course suggested
would simply open the entire matter
again. Leo ]. Mcclure said that sew
eral persons interested had suggested
that the board has exceeded it's legal
rights and made the suggestion that
an opinion be obtained from the city
attorney.
THAT was done some time ago, and
very full opinion is on file In our
office for the inspection of any one
who wishes to see it," said President
Scott.
The board finally decided to take the
fraternity question up in committee or
the whole at 12:15 o'clock today.

SAN PEDRO ASKING
FOR CITY SCHOOL
Residents of Harbor Town Evidently
Consider Annexation Proposition
viii WIn-Action on Propo-
sition Deferred

Citizens of San Pedro seem to think
that the question of annexation with
Los Angeles is already settled, as the
board of education received a petition
last night asking for the establish
ment of a city school In the nortn
one-third of San Pedro" The board
decided to defer action until after the
election on the question of annexation.
The board has instructed the secre-
tary to confer with the city auditor to
obtain his opinion on the proper
method of making a transfer OF
money drawn from the county con-
tingent fund that should have come
from the city high school fund. Here
after all money collected from what
soever source emanating from element
airy schools" will be deposited with
the county treasurer, according to an
order adopted last night.
SUPERINTENDENT of Schools Moore was
appointed the boards representative at
a conference of local bodies to estab-
called by the chamber OF commerce.
The board will conduct an active
campaign in behalf of the bonds for
new school buildings to be voted on
January 6. If emergency demands
their use the superintendent will be al
lowed to hire automobiles on election
day. Twenty thousand buttons with
the wording, 1--WE want more schools
are being distributed.
1.-THE high schools will graduate less
than 300 students, while 1015 will be
prepared to enter at that time" said
DR.. Moore. IF the bonds for a new
high school carry 1t will be two years
before it can be made ready at the
earliest. It will be a big problem to
take care of our children in the mean
time, to say nothing Of the future. And
the secondary schools are becoming
crowded as we'll. There is certainly an
urgent need for the voting of the
bondsa
