President Taft recently declared his
intention to leave no money to his
sons but to scrape as much as posi-
BILE together for his daughter. This
Is a mistake. The daughter of the
very rich are the prey OF the fortune
hunters, who are about the most de.
splcable men in existence. These un-
fortunate young women are rarely per-
mitted to associate with the best class
OF young men. those who will be the
leaders In every field OF activity In the
next generation. They marry worth
less society dudes or profligate for
eigners with titles and nothing else.
Hence Il is that rich families decay.

lie had heard OF rich man who died

er said he died of nervous exhaustion.
whereupon a wag remarked that this
was a mistake: for in reality he had
been kicked TO death by the golden
calf" Tolstol in one OF his books tells
OF Russian peasant who had a mania
for land. He worked and skimped
and starved. adding farm to farm.
Then he heard OF country where land
was cheaper SO he sold out and went
there. After several such removals
he finally arrived with a great bag OF
money In country inhabited by saw
ales. whose chief told him he could
lay his money down at a certain spot
and have In exchange for IL all the
land he could walk across from east to
west and from north TO south In day.
In his greed he trsversed an immense
area but in doing so exerted himself
so violently that just as he finished at
nlghtfall his strength was exhausted
and he died.
The principles governing the accu.
mutation OF money apply 10 all voca-
tions. First. Mr.. Bryan discussed the
moral phases OF the legal profession.
which he had chosen for his own oc.
cupat'on. though he had afterwards
been drawn into politics by the force

prejudice against lawyers. which are

ernment. But theie are unscrupulous
lawyers. who prostitute justice and sell
their souls for money. He had heard
lfwyers. who are sworn officers OF the
court. boast OF how they had perverted
the law In order TO win their fees. He
quoted Roosevelt In a speech at Har-
ward declaring that In every great con.
spiracy and combination there Is a
Harvard man at the bottom OF II.
and added that every lawyer OF extra.
ordinary ability who was willing TO-
sell his soul had been bought by the
corporations.
Next he paid his respect to editors.

offers the largest and most promising
field TO aspiring young men now open.

Every Case of Pellagra
Should Be Reported.

This new disease, new here under
medical observation, but almost a
century old in Italy, Pellagra is an
instance Of the new Things, which
spring up to paralyze science-yet
each one in its time, is found out
and destroyed.
PeIlagra has puzzled the best doc
tors of the country to understand
it's cause. 1t has been said that the
germs of the disease Turk in the corn
grain as especially adapted for their
secretion-rotten grain being their
peculiar point of aceretion.
AS a matter of fact, the disease has
altogether baffIed scientific enquiry.
Health Officer Sanders, of Alabama,

that IL IS not contagious, yet, at the
same time, advises the isolation of
patients. Te assert the non-conta-

The newspapers and telegraph tell

There is no conclusion TO be

The editorial in this weeks issue
OF The DeFuniak Breeze headed, a
Hot Iron" Is a hot proposition all
around although dealing with cold
facts. How a young man, however,
like Editor StOrrs can bark back 20
the time when, as he says "a Chicago
ticket agent identified Pensacola by
its being near DeFuniak Springs" is
astonishing. He must have been re-
incarnated since those days and his
aIlusion to them should be a strong
argument in support of the Buddhist
and other religions which have taught
the transmigration of souls. The Pen
sacola of today is, as everyone
knows, the most thriving city and
the best port on the Gulf OF Mexico,
and despite the effort Of the L. and
n. to relegate il to a state Of OBJ
security, it is being visited and talked
about by many in every section Of the
eountry. By the way. we wonder
who paid the salary of the ante-de-
luvian Chicago ticket seller whose
natural perversity is chronicIed by

The Pensacola Business College,

South, reports that enrolment for
the fall term has been on a larger
scale than ever before students
from both this city and adjoining
territory are coming in rapidly and
the school gives promise OF being

Professor w. d. Sears, principal OF
the college, says that never in the
history OF the school has the supply
Of graduate students equalled the de-
mand for clerical help. The demand
is always greatest during the winter
months and especially about the
first of a new year, when business
houses all plan big extensions in
their operation.
BY enrolling now students will be
enabled to advance with the regular
classes and accept positions in the
early part Of next year. The course
includes spelling, penmanship, short

In fact, the school can take a gram
