Chivalry Outraged by Wet Editor.

81 repeat, woman has been the direct
cause of the undoing of more men than
Of any other one thing under the sun. "
-TriCc'S Florida
Just like a Cowardly man to lay his
shortcomings off on woman! If you
would tell the truth "a very difficult
thing for some writer's TO do you would
say, woman has been the making OF
more men than any other agency in the
world"
Ii is lamcntablc that any man will so
forget his own mother as to utter any
such contemplate sentiments as that OF
Trice quoted above OF course we see
what he is driving at, he is trying TO ag-
grandize the contemplate liquor traffic
by blaming mans downfall to women.
The Leader is glad 10 note that most of
the advocates of the license system are
too manly to resort to any such argu-
mcntS for Personal Liber-Tea." The
fact that the editor of the state saloon
organ will SO transgreSS the law of true
Southern chivalry as TO lay mans de-
hatchery to woman'S door only proves
how low said editor has descended
into the pit TO do the will of his masters.

Never ask any one to supply you
with a missing word, says a writer in
the Atchison Globe, and If the expert
ence which he relates is typical it is
good advice "A woman was engaged
recently in writing letter to a friend,
in which she was telling of what they
had to eat at party. She was getting
along very well when all Of sudden
she stopped to think. what" she

on, were all called out by the family,
all anxious to supply the missing word.
None of them is right" said the
woman. Then she tried new tack.
"What is it," she said, they serve
on toast"
"Poached eggs" said one member of
the family.

Then the woman got up, tore her
letter into pieces and put the thing
off till later on.
Three days later she was in a gro

Massachusetts and the Model License
League, an organization of brewers
under the laws of Ohio, or Wisconsin
we are not sure which.
They all have branches in Florida.
The American Anti-Saloon League is
a league of state organizations, and the
Times Union knows it, lis object is the
outlawry of the American saloon. Very
worthy object as the Times Union ought
to have the dccency TO admit.
The Florida Anti Saloon League is
composed of some worthy gentlemen,
several of whom reside in Jacksonville,
and all of whom live and pay taxes in
Florida They are all noted for their
responsibility.
A few of The Jacksonville trustees
are; A. D. Stephens, president; L. o.
Painter, treasurer; w. K. BartleSon, w.
Fl. Baker, ]. H, McLaurin, John S.
Robinson, w. l.. Lampkin, a dozen or
more prominent laymcn and all the
leading pastors.
Among the state trustees are such men
as A. P. Anthony of Palm Beach, E. d.
Beggs and c. NJ. Covington of PenSaco-
Ia, c. A. Carson of KisSimmee, NJ. Dix
on and Senator Don. c. McMullen of
Tampa, Hon. S. J. Hilburn and w. G..
Tilghman OF Palatka, T. j. Watkins of
Orlando, w. D. earn, w. Fl. Coleman
and A. L. Izlar of Ocala, ]. NJ. Rivers of
Gainesville, and
But what's the use These are only a
few of the Florida Board of Trustees.
They live in Florida, and have fair rep
utations for morals and business worth.
They want the saloon outlawed in Flori-
da. That is worthy ambition.
Were they willing TO let il continue in
Jacksonville, neither they, nor the boys
who form the college quartette, would
have been treated discourtesly by the
Times Union, which by its own admis-
sion, broke all precedent TO do the trick.
And ii was a dirty trick.

The News has, and until after the
election in November will continue, to
give much of its editorial space to dis
cusSion of the proposed state pro-
hibition amendment 1t is the only is
sue pending in the coming election. Re-
duCcd 10 plain statement the question
is: Shall the State of Florida permit
certain counties TO continue the sale of
intoxicating liquors for beverage purpos-
cS, or shall ii outlaw that business en-
tircly. Ii is question that admits OF no
compromise. An individual, or paper,
must take one side or the other, or sit
on the fence. The News was never in
tended for fence purposes. 1t has opin-
ions, and on moral questions especially
ii believes it to be its duty to express
them. The beverage liquor business is
the prolific cause OF very large pro-
portion of the crime, pauperiSm and
misery OF this and other states. Ii is a
statewide and not local nuisance and
has been so defined by the highest
courts in the land. The issue is impor-
tant, and for this reason the News will
try and do lis part TO bring about a right
settlement.
