the government in the false position it
assume in securing recruits for the
army. He says that the alluring pic
lures and the misleading stories cir
culated are contrary to all laws of
common decency and that the officials
in charge are guilty of the grossest
deception.
Judge Lands Will be criticised for
saying this. but when the subject is
gone into facts bear out some at least
of his statements. The pictures show
only the life of the officers cavorting
around in seeming idleness, but they
do not give the other side of the pic
ture and let the boys know Of the life
of the common private with his many
hardships.
The number Of deserters from the
army and navy is something alarming
when it is remembered that desertion
is crime. But what more can be
expected of young man who has been
rnisled by representatives of the gov
eminent?
All departments of the government
should be conducted on the square and
no deception should be used in re-
cruiting men to do the fighting for the
government. If the army is not at
tractive enough to get the young men,
then conditions should be remedied
and more attractive terms offered.
Judge Lands has taken a great deal
upon himself in condemning the army
authorities as fakirs and deceivers, but
If it is true the people ought to know
about it. Young men should not be
allowed to join the army and find an
entirely different condition from what
they expected.

we cannot admit that the care Of the

CHILD LABOR IN FLORIDA. :

A bill now before the legislature pro-
hihits the employment of children in

presumably, fourteen but may be six
teen. In factory towns need or cruelty

that is easily worth as much as A

the employment Of a child take his

SUCH employment gives habits and

him in later years. The child that
must give too much time to a gainful
occupation would be too poor to profit
even by free instruction-it is still
true that food and clothes must he

should be as nearly perfect as human
wisdom can make it.
The present judicial system Of Flor
Ida Is far from perfect. Delays are too
numerous. Technicalities too often de-
feat justice. Especially is Governor
Gllchrist right in his denunciation of
the delays Of the law. On account of
these delays honest and upright men
are often deferred from seeking In the
courts those rights TO which they are
entitled. Too often is it possible for
unscrIpE-oCS persons to take advau-
tage Of tie possibility Of prolonging
litigation and thus using the courts as
a means to Cypress; too often are man
who are right in their contention
torceo TO compromise unfounded claims
because Of the costly and useless de-
lays Of litigation.

before. We trust that he will continue

WHAT'S A "JAcKPoT?"

Senator Gamble. of South Dakota,
who was asked by Senator jeff Davis,
Of Arkansas, what is a Jackpot" a
term used in the debate about Sena-
tor Lorimer holding his seat, but the
senator failed to answer the question.
This bring to mind many of the
phrases used by card players and
which are used by other people to ex-
press their meaning, but who do not
know from where they derive their
significance. Jackpot is familiar to
every poker player. The Tampa (F1a.)
Tribune says:
For instance, the 'standpatter' is
spoken Of in politics to describe the
man who wants things to remain as
they are.
THE term bluff needs no explana-
ton, it is in such general use.
Church people are asked to chip in
to pay the parson and forget that they
are using a term of unholy associa-
ton.
Then there is the. man who de-
mands that everything be taboveboard'
to signify that no concealment is going
on.
I'VE all know that when we have
plenty of money we feel flush another
poker term signifying that the cards
are all of one color.
--'.',.7 term full house is still another
phrase that To -J0cuIar1y used in com
mon speech to signify that there is no
more room.
Others more familiar with poker
terms than a minister or an editor
might multiply the illustrations.
Some people understand the lingo
and don't know the game.
Others know the lingo and think
they know the game, but don't. It is
great game-so they say"
That is not all. You hear people say
there is great pair" when speaking
of two we'll known persons who are TO-
gether.

kind" check it up" and IT pass" and
many others. These phrases are used
In everyday conversation and are
mainly derived from those persons who

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
IS by constitutional remedies. Deafness
IS caused by an iniamed condition of the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when il is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten are

Defying
The Trusts.

Coming from a district where the
steel trusts operate, Representative
Underwood stands out as an advocate
of tariff reduction in defiance of the
threats of the representatives of the
trusts in his district. 1t is good to see
a man in public office of the caliber OF
Mr.. Underwood, and the south, as well
as Alabama, is proud of him.
Mr.. Underwood has served seven or
eight terms in the lower house and he
has gradually but surely come to be
recognized as one of the ablest in that
body. Two years ago he was threat
ened by the representatives of the
trusts with defeat if he continued to
advocate a reduction on their articles,
but the people decided differently and
he was returned to represent them in
congress. In his statement in congress
Friday he said: st stand today where
I stood two years ago, and I propose
to vote for the free list bill, because l
believe it to be right, and I intend to
do ali in my power to break down
monopolistic protection" and it is this
steadfastness to what he believes is
right that has made him the power in
congress that he is.
A peculiar circumstance in regard to
Mr.. Underwood is that all of his
means are invested in the iron and
steel industry of his section, but not
with the steel trust zrr,r- urrer-r,.tIssrIurr
to remain steadfast to ones principles
when such powerful influence is work
ing against one, but Mr.. Underwood
has steadily grown stronger in his con-
victions and stronger in the estimation
of the people he represents.
He has led the fight for reciprocity
and will lead the one for the free list
He thinks the nation should turn from
the present standards by carefully ad-
5usting the laws to meet new condi-
tons without serious injury to capital
or labor. In speaking of this he says:
I'VE would be unrivalled masters of
production and industry in every land
where free competition can be obtained
If we would but strike of the shackles
that bind us to the dead and unneces-
sary economic system maintained by
the Republican party that creates false
standards and wasteful conditions at
home"
1.-THE Democratic party" he con-
tinued. does not intend to abandon
the custom houses but favors a policy
Of levying custom duties for revenue
purposes only at rates that will not
destroy fair and honest competition in
the home market. I say that this bill
marks an era in the economic life of
the nation. Why? Not that the i'm
mediate results will be far reaching
but because it takes one step in the
right direction; a step away from the
exclusive protective policy, a step to-
ward an honest competitive policy"
Representative Underwood is carry
ing out the principles of Democracy
and the wishes of the people. He
need not have any fear of the trusts
as long as ne continues to be the ex-
ponent of the principles he now repre-
sents.
