State newspapers have had a great
deal of sport with the bill introduced
in the legislature to prohibit the harem
skirt. Editor Zim of the St Augustine
Meteor has suggested to Representa-
tive Tidwell, however, an omission
that renders the proposed law even
more absurd than was apparent at the
first reading. 1t is the fact that he
has not described the terrible" thing,
and if placed among the many stat
utes now adjoining the code would be
worthless as remedy, as the wearer,
or maker. would only have TO require
a technical description, and then de-
clare that the sartorial product was
costume Oriental" or a pair of trous-
ers de luxe, and the prosecution must
fall The legislator should have made
careful study of modes, and then de-
scribed the possibilities of the gar
ment, if he meant to keep it off the
streets. 1t would have taken him a
year or so TO describe the vagaries of
the designers. but possibly he would
have been just as useful to the state
in that occupation as any other
Timees- Union.

LOVE AND POLITICS

Tho New York World of April ootn
prints a picture of Miss constance
nov daughter of Frank A. Day, OIL
Fairmount Minnesota, long recognizeu
ha;ng one of the strongest ana
abIest democratic leaders of that state.
Miss Dav is to wed, early in July, Ev-
erett F. Tawney, oldest son of ex-hep-
rasentative James A. Tawney, TOT
long time republican leader OF the
house at Washington. The marriage
of the daughter of the one and the son
of the other unites these two proml-
nent families in love that have so
long been divided in politics.
This reminds us of a Florida incl
dent Mr.. J. A. Mcdonald, a north
ern man. came to Florida just AFTER
the civil war and took an active part
in the politics of the state at that
time, and of course made himseI
quite obnoxious to his neighbors and
business associates. He says that ne
felt that it was his religious duty TO
try and convert the people of the state
from the error of their ways and have
them embrace the principles of the re-
publican party. Like the great Brown
low, he hated everything that was
democratic, and reIigiously endeavored
to inculcate his political belief into his
children. But he says that it was no
60" That when they grew up they
shared the prejudices of those among
whom they had grown up, and that
his teachings were as chaff before the
winds. That his children married and
intermarried with the natives and got
to be as rank democrats as any in the
neighborhood, and is strong in their
prejudices against everything that he
had taught as any of the crackers.
Mr.. McDonald's conclusions were
that it is impossible to make the sons
and daughters look out upon the
world through the same spectacles as
those of the parents, for the reason
that the viewpoint is entirely different
and that it is impossible for one gen
Grafton to fasten its political opinions
and modes of thought on the other.
That every generation is going TO live
its own life, because the world is ever
moving onward and is never the same.
Every generation is controlled by it's
environments and the new conditions
confronting it.

THE RACE TRACK GAMBLING
BILL

The race track bill was set for
discussion and final settlement We'd
nesday. Senator Sloan, the author of
the bill, thinks that it viii pass. lie
saws that the bill seeks 70 prohibit
gambling only. That persons may
run their horses and race with their
machines as much as they please.
THE proposition" says Mr.. Sloan, ''to
buy the privilege of operating great
gambling mill in this state, by running
in connection with it a state fair is RI
diculous. 1t is an insult to the intelli-
gence and morality of the Legislature,
and the state. In the first place it
would advertise us as an immoral
community, an undesirable place for
good people to live and bring up their
children. The best people in our state
(most of them, for we have a popula-
ton largely moraD, even those not
Christians, would not support with
their products, influence or presence,
a fair. run in connection with a gam
bling institution. So. whatever adver-
Using we might receive from such an
enterprise would hurt rather than
help us.
"a large proportion of those who
would be attracted to this state would
be of the touch and undesirable ele-
ment, as it is an unquestioned fact
that of those who frequent the race
tracks, this class largely predomi-
mates, class undesirable either as
visitors or as citizens. But those who
are trying to purchase legislative in
fiuence in this way are not concerned
for the we'll being of our state, their
only purpose being to secure legisla-
tive permission to continue the gold
mine which they have in the racing
proposition. 1t is a well known fact
that one of the chief causes for fail
ure of the state fair at Tampa was
race track and other forms of gam
bling. and 1 dare say that so long as
this is permitted in our state, no fair
proposition can succeed. The idea of
contracting with a gambling insittu-
ton which tends to corrupt everything
and everyone with which it comes. in
contact. to advertise our state, would
be an everlasting disgrace to our peo-
pie, nine-tenths, dare say, or posi-
bly, a larger per cent. of whom are
praying for relief"

Bishop Walters, one of the bishops
recent address in the city of Washing
ton, deplored the world wide increase
of race prejudice as shown in the Lon
don objections to the presence of DR..
Dubois. a prominent negro, at BAN
quet of philosophers; the calling off of
a tea of equal suffragists in New York
because Mary Church Terrell, a negro
suffragette, was to be invited, and in
the hasty and uncalled-fo attack on

growing supposition that "a negro is a
suspicious character" He justified
the action of the negro voters of Chi
cago standing by Carter Harrison, a
liberal democrat, in preference to Chas.
can, who evinced no concern for the
welfare of the negro race. In espous-
ing division of the negro vote Bishop
Walters said: "In this division l see a
chance to make new and strong
friends. an opportunity to enlarge his
sphere of influence and to relieve the
race of the charge of mental blindness
political narrowness and slavish ad-
herence to a name merely for the
names sake, when all that it once
meant had vinished into thin air. This
political serfdom has made republi-
cans Indifferent to our claims, and has
arrayed the democrats solidly against
us. 1t behooves helpless people to
have friends on both sides in a coun-
try where either party is likely tc
gain control of the government"

We found Judge Hooker, Judge Tay-
lor and Judge Mabry all looking well
and all up to their ears in studying
cases and handing down opinions.
Judge Taylor says that he has not
been on a visit to Ocala in twenty
years, but promises to come down and
go over the scenes of "auld lang syne"
at some time in the no distant future.
Judge Hooker says that the law Ii
brary for the supreme court of Florida
is the finest of any southern state, and
in some respects is the finest of any
of the states. That its loss would be
irreparable, and he, of course, is anx-
ious that the present legislature shall
provide means for the erection of a
supreme court building that will make
the destruction of so valuable a libra
ry impossible. The judge is in the en-
joyment of very fine health.
The legislature is making haste
slowly and is carefully scrutinizing
every measure that is up for adoption.
1t is, we believe, a conservative and
conscientious body of men.

they are at every session, but what
