DeLand is beautiful town.
Shell roads and tree lined streets
make the whole region one of great
attractivencss. While | went to a
number of other towns in the State

and grapefruit that | saw were
hanging upon the trees that grow
at DeLand. In the front yard of
President Hullcy's residence there
are number of orange trees we'll

there is a more comfortable and

great StetsOn estate that includes
so much in and about DeLand.

Richmond News Leader.
Some curious speculation has arisen
from discussion of what George Wash
ington would have been likely to think
and say if he could have been at Old
Point on his last birthday and seen the
battleship feet come in. Judging from
what history says of him, we believe
George would have been as delighted as
Mr.. Roosevelt if rather more stately
and restrained in the expressions of his
satisfaction. The general was strong,
dignifed, manly man with unfailing
common sense. He wanted this country
to be powerful and effective. He loved
justice and he loved strength. He I'M
derstood that justice to prevail must be
reinforced by strength.
In his day this country was isolated,
new and feeble. Her navy was little
more than few patriotic pirates, little
ships manned by hardy daredevils, sail
ing at random about the seas, seeking
adventure, excitement, fighting and,
incidentally, loot. We think the stately,

PRESIDENT TAFT.

Today William Howard Taft will be
inaugurated President of the United
States, and assume charge as Chief Ex-
ecutive of the affairs of the greatest
Nation on the earth. And no man, since
our government was founded, has
shouldered its responsibilities better
equipped for their successful discharge.
He has been thoroughly trained in all
departments that pertain to statesman
ship and executive duties. And no man
has ever entered upon the work of
President with larger measure of the
confidence of all the people. That he
will fail to please all persons is as GER
tain as that he will conduct his high
Office with ability and integrity. He is
a worthy successor of his illustrious
predecessor, and, no doubt, will contend
for the reforms that have been begun
by Theodore Roosevelt with as much
zeal as has marked the life of the pre-
ceding Administration.
The country is looking to President
Taft with hope and confidence, and it is
not likely to be disappointed in him as a
man and as its Chief Magistrate.

Perpetual devotion to what a man

ttls knowledge Of Horses Was Evil
IDENTIFY a Weak Point

Mayor Reyburn OF Philadelphia told
At dinner horse story.
"A farmer visited a phrenologist. :"
he said. He had heard that the phre-
nologist thought OF buying a horse. He
had his head examined and his bumps
revealed surprising things.
Your tastes are the simple. home
ly and pure tastes of a farmer said
the phrenologist, and a farmer take
you to be. Am l not right? Aha. I
thought so. You are unreedy and fall
tering in speech; you find 1t dificult
TO express the simplest ideas. You
are sadly deficient In Judgment and
have no knowledge OF human nature
Your innocent and trustful disposition
renders you an easy dupe to design
Ing men. and your own perfect hon
esty prevents you from either suspect
ing or defrauding any one.
The phrenologist the following
week bought horse from the farmer.
The horse WAS knock-kneed, It was 26
years old. ii had a bad temper. and it
baked. Though the farmer had only
paid {15 for the animal, he secured
without difficulty $3.50 from the phre-
nologist for It.
It's wonderful said the farmer to
himself, as he fastened toward the
bank to deposit the money-It's Test

JUDGE LET HIM 60.
General Warren Gives Correct Version
Of Old Story.

Washington Post.)
General Charles S. Warren, of Butte,
Mont, who brought the vote of that
State to Washington, enjoys the dis
tinction of being the only judge to de-
cree that a man has a right to get
drunk once a month This story. ac-
cording to General Warren, who is at
the Willard, has been told many times,
but the general says it has never been
told as it should be. Here is the way
General Warren tells it:
1T happened that was the first DO
lice judge of Butte. At that time
there were some characters in Butte
who needed correction. and they got it.
If man beat mis- wife, he got fine of
500; if miners INDUCED in fighting
they were fined; but if man had taken
wee bit too much drink, sometimes 1
let him go. There came before me on
Monday morning, among 30 or more
culprits, a young man in a bedraggled
dress suit. He had been picked up on a
charge of drunkenness. asked him
to tell his story.
He said that the Saturday before,
being pay day, he had drawn sos, 80
days pay at So so per for working in q
1000 feet level.
What did you do with your mon
ey?' asked.
Judge ne said. L first went
home and paid SIS board
Then what?'
L went to the postoffice and got q
money order for $50 to send to nv
mother
eff the rascal had only known it, he
had me then, but in a stern tone 1 con-
tinued:
Still $50 to the good; what did you
do with the rest?'
We'll judge he replied, 4 took my
girl to the theatre, bought her some
flowers, aud then took her home in a
cab, because knew her mother would
be waiting up for her. That cost $50. ,
Still $50 to account for 1 said.
''The young fellow hesitated, then
blurted out:
You see, judge, was feeling SO
pleased with myself just about then
That l went into a saloon and invited
everybody to have drink, and 1 guess
/ got drunk
How much you got left?' 1 said.
" Fifty cents
Owe anybody any money!
d" Not cent.
Young man, said, you have my
permission as long as am police judge
to get drunk once every month. Any
man who will pay his board, take care
of his mother and girl, and then get
drunk has my permission to do so. You
are discharged
He married that girl and never got
drunk again.

rags into shoddy. Then he spun the
shoddy into thread. Then, a full

into cloth. But the municipalities of

the disposal Of their peoples refuse.

More Race Hatred.
Washington Star.

Washington Star.
Omaha's race riot discloses to the
country at large hitherto unsupported
source of trouble in the states. In the
south the black people are perennially
the objects of attack as events bring
them into the unfavorablc attention of
the mob. Out on the Coast TIE racial
animosities center on the Japanese and
the Chinese. Down in New Orleans on
one occasion, now historic, Italians were
hunted down like rats by a possee Of
people, maddened by the murder of a
police official. There have been anti
Polish rows here and there and various
other nationalities have come in for
such unpleasant attentions. Now it is
the Greeks who suffer. Considering the
cosmopolitan character of our popula-
ton, the possibilities of race-line cleav-
age becomes seriously extended with
each such manifestation of passion.
One of the most sinister features of
this Omaha affair is the fact that the
riots immediately followed d mass
meeting in the course of which the muir
der of policeman by Greek prisoner
was denounced by two of the state leg
islators and an appeal was made to the
race prejudices of the mob. These
men, representatives of the community
in the lawmaking body, addressed them
selves to the worst passions of their
hearers. They are guilty of the most
despicable crime in the calendar, that of
melting others to bloodshed and arson.

Where Noise Is SaIahIe.

You know, of course" said a watch
factory foreman, how Lynn captured
the African shoe matchmaking shoes
that squeaked loudly. The native con-
siders the discomfort and expense of
American shoes quite futile If they
don't squeak as he walks, like an Ill
creased cart wheel. We have now
hogged the African cheap watch trade
by turning out a good dollar watch
that ticks like a boiler factory. You
could hear this tick through a feather
mattress. In fact, natives wearing
our watches tick audibly. AS they
swagger along, their American shoes
squeaking and their American watches
ticking. they give out as much noise

He never blames others for his fate
therefore, when he finds himself in a

MOI A NEW HING.

President-baiting is no new thing in
the history of this Government. There
fore, we should not feel surprised that
at the session of Congress Just closed a
lot of Congressman and Senators, some
of whom were already notorious, took
occasion to make themselves more no
torious and odious by abusing President
Roosevelt. Similar treatment on GER
tain occasions was extended to Abraham
Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, and even TO
George Washington, the Father of his
country
A member of President Roosevelt
Cabinet has procured and made public
an article which appeared in the eau
rora" of March 9th, 1897. This paper
was published in Philadelphia. and was
follower of the Jeffersonian school of
politics. Mr.. Jefferson was also q pa
tron of newspaper published at Rich
mond which was still more violent in its
abuse of George Washington. We will
give below the article from the "Auro-
"a, " and our readers will observe that
the vulgarians who have been villifying
Theodore Roosevelt are worthy descend
ants of the men who slandered George
Washington. The Aurora" said:
Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant
depart in peace, was the pious ejacula-
ton of pious man who beheld flood
of happiness rushing in upon mankind.
If ever there was a time that would Ii
cense the reiteration of the ejaculation,
that time has now arrived, for the man
who is the source of all the misfortunes
of our country is this day reduced to a
level with his fellow-citizens, and is no
longer possessed of power to multiply
evils upon the United States. If ever
there was period of rejoicing, this is
the moment. Every heart in unison
with the freedom and happiness of the
people ought to beat high with exulta-
ton that the name of Washington ceas-
es from this day to give currency to po-
htical insults and to legalize corruption.
A new era is now opening upon US, an
era which promises much to the people,
for public measures must now stand up-
on their own merits, and nefarious prof.
eets can no longer be supported by a
name. When a retrospect has been
taken of the Washingtonian administra-
ton for eight years, it is subject of
the greatest establishment that single
individual should have cankered the
principles Of republicanism in an en-
hghtened people just emerged from the
gulf of despOtism, and should have car
ried his designs against the public lib
erty so far as to have put in jeopardy
its very existence. Such, however, are
the facts, and with these staring us in
the face, the day ought to be jubilee
in the United States"
