known, for some time that Mr.. Straus

Charles F. Johnson, of Waterville,

nor of Maine in 1892 and again in
1894, member of the state board IF
legal examiners, and prominent law
yer, was nominated on the first ballot
at the democratic caucus to succeed
United States Senator Eugene Hale at
the expiration Of the latters term on

election. He will be the first demo-

TRAINING FOR
CITIZENSHIP.


/. The uniformity in the discipline of
our public schools was criticised the
other day by gentleman at one OF the
local hotels. He argued that the boys
were being moulded after one model;
that genius is Strangled and talents are
all turned into the beaten rut. The
boys were being turned into the broad
and crowded channels of commonplace,
and only the exceptional boy was able
to survive the belittling influence of the
uniform discipline and do things worth
while; that rigid rules of conduct made
impossible the proper development OF
individuality.
The theory is alluring, yet all who
believe il certainly would not want the
boys in our schools left at liberty TO do
absolutely as they please.
The theory on which the discipline
of our public schools rests is certainly
antagoniStic 10 that OF our visiting
friend
This theory is that the boy should
leave school, not only with his head
full of history and grammer and the
classics and modern languages and all
the other studies of the curriculum, but
prepared TO yield willing obedience to
law-the law OF the school.
This prepares him for good citizen
Ship-the citizenship which yields will
ing obedience TO the law of the commu-
nifty in which he lives, the law of the
state and OF the nation. If he is not
thus trained his time has been thrown
away.
We need in our schools inSistence
upon obedience to proper authority, for
these boys of today are the citizens of
tomorrow, and everywhere throughout
the length and breadth of the land we
must have more prompt and willing
obedience 10 law.
If you want illustrations of the evils
that come from disregard of law they
can be found in any community where
an apathetic and Indifferent public per
mits systematic and constant ignoring
of the law.
Disobedence TO law and disreSpect for
il is particularly demoralizing in this
country, for the people make their own
laws and when they kick them aside
unceremoniouSly they belittle their own
institutions and methods. Nowhere
else in the world is regard for law so i'm
portant as in republic, for the very ma
ton itself rests upon that basis alone.
And in a republic there is the least ex-
cuSe for general diSreSpcct for law, for
if the laws are not satisfactory there is
an orderly way TO adjust them as the
majority thinks best
The habit of obedience cannot be eS-
tablished too early, and if the boy at
home and in school is not taught to sub
nit TO regulations, he will be likely to
rebel against the laws of the community
and state. And out of that comes
anarchy.
There is absolutely no guarantee of
the perpetuity of elf-govcrnment except
in the right discipline OF the boys who
some day will be the citizens.

EDITORIAL COLUMNS
NOT FOR SALE.

The Florida Live Stock and Agricul
tural State Fair Association "a name tina
sounds respectfully has for severa
weeks been using the columns of the
Palatka News for advertising purposes
The patronage of this association wa.
not solicited. 1t was rendered by the
general manager of the association &c
the News and was accepted at the regu
lar rates.
That the acceptance of this bushes.
on the part of the News was a mistake
its proprietors are agreed. Neither this
nor any reputable newspaper is justified
either in law or morals in accepting the
business of an organized "bunco."
But the News did. 1t has frequently
"done those things ii ought not to dc
and left undone those things it ought to
do" .
While the News did sell this race
track crowd some of its advertising
space, it did not sell its editorial free.
dom of speech.
Two weeks ago the News reproduced
in its columns brief editorial from
Claude L'Engle's Dixie" entitled "a
Sure Tip on the Races" in which the
people were warned against betting on
them. Mr.. L'Engle had this same race
track in view. He said:
"Do not bet on the races. You can't
beat the game. II is fixed against you.
II is run by gamblers who are out for
the money. Betting on the races leads
to poverty, ruin, disgrace and death.
If you must part with your money
matches are cheap"
That Mr.. L'Engle is right there can
be no shadow of doubt. Men who have
spent a life time in promoting these
race meetings have testified TO the truth
of Mr.. L'Engle'S position in numerous
caSeS-the most recent of which was
that of the late Lucky" Baldwin OF
California before a special committee OF
the United States Senate These race
meetings are run by gamblers who are
out for the money" "You can't beat
the game. 1t is fixed against you"
The Florida Legislature has so declared
and has enacted law which goes into
effect next summer, outlawing the bust
ness in this state.
The Palatka News advocated that law
and has frequently warned the people
against this legalized bunco. The re-
production of the L'Engle article was
primarily for the purpose of reinforcing
our own previous statements.
But the race track people didn't like
that editorial. And neither did they
like its reproduction in the News.
That they made a mistake in purchas.
ing advertising space in this paper is
now apparent TO them. Their other
mistake was in thinking that with that
space also went this papers acquieScence
in their graft. The following cores
pondencc recently passed between the
general manager of the association and
the editor of the News:

NOT so FUNNY
AFTER ALL.

1t is reported that a New York actress,
who sought release from her married
life, after successful visit to the human
wreck department of the court, laugh
ingly remarked "lsn't ii funny down
there?"
She had on a stunning dress and a
smile that would have captivated the
gallery at the theater, and declared that
it was lovely to be free, and that she
wasn't going TO wed again, but would
devote herself to her art.
No, it isn't funny down there" If
people had a deeper and better impress
sion OF the real purpose of married life,
more respect for its pcrmanency, and
took more care in mating, there would
not be SO many stories of broken hearts
told down there"
The loose idea of marriage in this
country is that il is a speculation any
way, and if it doesn't work out there is
always the divorce court And because
ii is so easy TO part there is Scant caution
in marrying, and matrimonial mistakes
are made by the thousands every year.
And, too often, madam puts on her
gayeSt gown for the divorce court. The
lawyers chaff and crack Jokes, the spec
tatorS laugh and there is feeling that
after all marriage isn't serious matter
Ii is reported of one northern Judge
that he was proud and had boaSted of
the fact that he could try an average di
vorce case in ten minutes, and that on
one occasion when he had actually
granted six DEGREES in one hour, he
shouted Next" just as though he were
running batber shop, and had no more
thought of seriousness than does the
man who shaveS you.
The issue is human happiness and the
of married life. 1t should
never be 'funny down there"
