The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1911-10-11

The Star prints the following at the
request Of a lady who Is always doing
her best to help in every good work.
and believes that the young people are
the most important portion of the hu-
man race:
am a woman and though married,
ii is not long since 1 was girl, and
I am impressed TO say to my girl
friends don't give the glad hand to
young men whom you know to be I'M
moral or dissipated, and who are aware
that you know il. 1t not only lowers
their respect for you, but 1t encourages
them in their evil habits, and influences
other young men. who are as yet OF
clean lives, to enter into the ways OF
sin.
Girls. you would not welcome an err
ring sister into your circle, no. IL she
was repentant and longed to reform
hungered and thirsted for your SYM
patty and help. and yet you Will smile
graciously upon her man partner in
immortality and dissipation. 1 have
seen girls laugh encouragingly at the
talk and antics of their tipsy men
associates. 1 have seen them offer
wine to the young men, and once at
dance. I heard a handsome, half-intox-
with him, and she replied with gay
laugh, ct don't believe you can keep
your feet joe" ''If I start to fall I'll
hold tight to you," he returned. She
danced with him, and both had fall
the drunken man clinging to her and
pulling her down. The spectators
laughed and "jollied" the pair and that
was all. This was in what was called
the best society of a college town, and
the girl belonged to one OF the most
prominent families. If girls had true
purity of souls and true courage they
could do much to uplift the men in q
eommunity-and at the same time up
lift themselves in the estimation of the
men, A girl who will not tolerate &
low standard in the men about her /:
looked upon by them as superior tt
other young women, though they ma,
appear TO sneer at her as prude. And
dear girls, 1 would infinitely rather
have the respect Of men than the ligh
and fieeting emotion they dignity b!
the name Of love.

nearly all of last week with severe
boil on his leg. He is some better at

| While this scribe does not wish to
provoke a controversy, and thinks as

much has already been said in the way

county orphan, the game law, he only
wants to say this as an east side ex-

resentatives in both the upper and

this much cussed and discussed law,
then pray who is responsible? They
were paid and sent to legslate there
for US. Who took their jobs from
them? Why should a kettle call pot
black? 1t is admittedly an obnoxious
kid, this orphan, but why disown him!
Let its parents stand to the rack
and take like men the censure that is
perhaps not unjust, and avoid these
personal newspaper controversies that
are becoming very tiresome to the
public, and that BODIES no good for the

UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA

The first week of the seventh SEES
sion of the University of Florida has
ended, the classes have already settled
down to work, and the institution is
running smoothly.
A visitor to chapel, where the stud
ents are ALI assembled, would be i'm
pressed both by the large numbers and
by the fine appearance of the young
men present. There are students of
nearly all religious beliefs. There are
young men from almost every county
in Florida and many sections of the
country. while Europe is not unrepre
sented. There are many who before
this attended or have graduated from
some of the largest and best known in
situations in the United States. From
New England have come men from
Maine and Massachusetts,; from the
Central Atlantic States have come
students from New Jersey and Mary
land From the South there are in at
tendance representatives Of Georgia,
Kentucky, North Carolina, South Car
DINA and Tennessee. From the great
West there are registered students
from California, Iowa, Michigan, Min
nesota, Missouri and Ohio.
Many of the students registered from
T
state, being attracted by the oppor-
tunities here offered. These men have
come from every section of the United
States and have entered the University
of Florida to prepare themselves for
their work in their adopted home. This
| is especially true of those registered
| in the colleges of agriculture and law.
| Some of the higher institutions rep
| raSanfaI
Alabama Polytechnic Institute. Louis
| lana Industrial Institute and the A. &
NJ College of North Carolina, and the
Georgia and Massachusetts Institutes
| of Technology. OF colleges there are
Davidson, Hampden- Sidney, Emory,
Emery Henry, Wake Forest, Glenn
sen, Peabody, King, Warthon; of uni
versities there are Miami Washington
& Lee. Leland Stanford, Jr., and the
state universities of Michigan, Virgin
ia. North Carolina. Georgia and Mis-
sissippi.
The students already on the campus
outnumber the total registration OF
last year. Before many weeks the at
tendance will be so great that the uni
versity may find it difficult to provide
quarters for them. Buchanan Hall is
for the first time devoted entirely to
Idormitories. Thomas Hall has been
cleared of several class rooms and the
space thus gained converted into rooms
for students. And yet, in spite of this
both of these dormitory buildings are
Icrowded to the limit. A building across
the street from the dormitories has
been rented and filled with students
Many students are living in town. OPP
portunity is here taken to thank pub
Ilic1y those of the the citizens OF
Gainesville who have kindly Offered
rooms in their houses.
More room will soon be gained by
completing the transfer of apparatus
and class rooms to the new engineer
ing hall and by the erection of two
new buildings, the Commons and Ag.
Iricultural Hall. The attendance equal:
or surpasses the hopes of the official:
and friends of the university. The.
can we'll be delighted at the reputa.
ton it is winning both in Florida and
in other states.

RUSSIANS ARE NOT
FAIRLY REPRESENTED

John Harold Snodgrass, American
consul general of Moscow, is at the
Waldorf. says the New York Sun. and
drew a picture of Russia as a land
teeming with opportunity for Ameri-
can trade. Mr.. Snodgrass. who has
been three years in Moscow. pro-
nounces Russia the most interesting
country in the world from a CONNER
cial standpoint.
Russia Is in an era of great COM
mercial activity" said Mr.. Snodgrass.
Though one of the oldest countries,
it is practically new, virgin soil for
commercial endeavor. The figures out
there are very surprising TO an Amer
lean.
I'VE don't know Russia a all, judg-
| ing from the nature of the inquiries
| receive a my office a Moscow. Peo-
| pie seem to think it is a wild sort of
country, and they write to ask if trav-
cling is safe and whether it is neces-
| sary to go armed and how to avoid
dangers. AS a matter of fact, the Rus
SLAMS are mild-mannered people. and
they treat foreigners with the greatest
| courtesy and gentleness."

FRANKS GOODS SELLING FAST
People Buy, Go Away, Tell Theft
Friends and Come Back

In another column we publish the
Of Franks closing out
dry goods sale. The opening of this
sale was last Monday, but the sales Of
the goods has continued to get better
each day as the sale goes on. this is
on account of the people who are pat
ronizing the sale telling their friends
all about il. The general topic for
conversation seems TO be this sale as
no one seems to understand how Mr.
Frank can sell goods SO cheap. When
asked about il Mr.. Frank replied that
he wants to sell out of every yard of
goods as in the future this store will
only sell ready to wear garments and
it pays TO sacrifice the goods rather
than keep them at the regular prices.
This sale will continue till all of the
dry goods has been disposed Of.

When Col. William NJ. Howard. now
one OF the tariff board, was election
eering for Congress. says the Washing
ton Post. one autumn in bygone days.
he struck a backwoods county in Geor-
gia, and got very busy talking softly
to the voters. He was much concern
ed about a man named John. who was
now for him, and then against him,
and always changeab1e.
What's the matter with John?''
the colonel asked one OF his consti-
tuents.
Jaw, you can't tell nothin' about
John. colonel" was the assurance. He
is the most tickle man you ever see.
Why. he has had religion so many
times and lost 1t so many times, and
been baptized in the creek Down here
so often that the bullfrogs know him.
