FOLK FOR PREslDENTp-sENrl
MENT NATION WIDE

Choice OF the Missouri Democracy
for Democratic Nomination for
President in 1912 is ATTRACTING
Much Favorable Comment in Manv
Parts.
st. Louis, Mo.-Democratic leaders
throughout the country, as evidenced
by press comment, are watching with
ever-increasing interest the growth
of the Folk-for-President movements
Reports received at the headouar.
ters of the Missouri Democratic
League in the Central National Rank
building here, indicate that Folk SEN
timent has crystalized in MANY SEQ
lions.
Already friends of Mr.. Folk have a
working organization on the Pacific
coast, and another is being rapidlv
formed in the northern tier of states
During the last week, newspaners
OF Chicago gave considerable space
to the plans on foot in Illinois to
start a Folk organization in that
state. The press of Seattle comment
ed on the activity of the Folk sun-
porters in Washington, and papers of
Arizona, Oklahoma, Oregon and Flor
ida have chronicled the progress in
those commonwealth.
Not all of the organization work is
political either. News was received
this week from the officers of the
Kappa Alpha fraternity, of which Gov
ernor Folk is a member, that plans
are being made to organize the ten
thousand members of the Greek let
ter society in his behalf.
Governor Folk has been informally
invited to serve as convention orator
at the biennial session of the frater
nifty in New Orleans, next December
at which time, it is reported, the col
lege men will boost him as their can
didate in characteristic manner.
The distinction of being convention
orator is always rendered by fraterni-
ties to member of national note and
a speaker. of high repute. Mr.. Folk
is an alumnus of Vanderbilt Univer-
sity, and former schoolmates who are
staunch believers in the Folk square
deal principles. are back of the
move to impress his availability on
college men throughout the United
States

AN OBJECT LESSON
10 the Edito: Ocsla Banner::.

10 the Edito. Ocala Banner.
In this time of demand for compul
sorry Sunday observance, an object
lesson may be found in the fact thai
1nere are in this country more thar
one hundred thousand Christians
VINO observe the seventh-day Sab
oath, and their number is constantly
increasing. They are scattered
throughout every state in the Union
and live in the cities, in the towns
and IN the country districts. The
DAY which they observe as the Sab
oath has become the busiest day OF
the week in the commercial world
ana they are surrounded by those
Who are pursuing their ordinary
work on that day. When they go to
their places of worship their eyes
necessarily behold what they regard
as a dissertation of holy day, and
their ears are saluted with the hum
OF secular industry. They would be
glad to have all observe the Sabbath
according to the commandment "
and thus honor the Creator, but they
never have asked, and never will ask
for legislative enactments which
would compel those to pay an out
ward regard to this day. They must
be fully convinced by their own con.
sciences that they ought to keep it
holy They simply ask to be left
free to observe the day of their
choice without being fined, either di
rectly or indirectly-without being
compelled to pay fine in money into
the state treasury or to pay fine
in the way of loss of time by enforced
idleness upon day which the scrip
lures designate as a working day
and they freely concede to others the
civil right to work on the seventh
day of the week and to rest on an
other day if they choose to do so, or
to refuse to observe any day as the
Sabbath.
Now, if such body of Christian
observers of the seventh day of the
week can be developed in this coun-
try by the power of conscientious
conviction alone, in the face of all
those circumstances which the advo,
Gates of Sunday observance regard
as so fatal to their cause, is it not
apparent that no Christian institu-
ton needs the support of the civil
power? We commend this object les
son to the consideration of those who
are claiming that what they desig-
nate as the Christian Sabbath" will
perish from the earth unless they
can secure the passage of laws to
protect and preserve it.

HOW TO GET RID OF NUTGRAss

A friend want sto know if | have
conquered the nutgrass in my garden.
Yes, l have nearly finished it, and
this summer it is the rarest weed in
my garden. Last year was the first
year the garden was cultivated, as it
had been lying out as a vacant lot.
One end of the lot was we'll set in
nut grass, and | determined that it
should go. l did not dig it out ex-
cept whatever turned up in the plow-
ing of the land and was raked out
Then every day | chopped off that
nutgrass. Cut off today it was up
tomorrow, but | knew that no plant
make green leaves above the ground.
So | chopped it off daily. 1t got thin
ner and thinner by frost and as none
was allowed to seed, | find few plants
this summer, and have simply been
pulling them out as fast as seen, and
nave not even had to use the hoe on
them. This is equally applicable to
any persistent weed. Keep them
chopped off and they must die The
same is true Of sassafras sprouts.
These will simply increase if dug and
the roots cut but chopped off or
mown Off regularly with the moving
machine they soon give up. The
mower is the best implement to rid
land of sprouts and briars.-The Pro-
gressive Farmer.

MEN AND RELIGION FORWARD
MOVEMENT
The Greatest Religious Movement Of
the Twentieth Century

The greatest religious movement in
the religious life of North America
today is that of the Men and Religion
Forward Movement.
This movement is a combination
of all the leading church brother
hoods of North America for united
effort to win to Christianity and to
membership in the churches of this
country the men and boys of North
America
The startling fact has been discov-
cred that there are three million
more women and girls in the church
es of this country than men and
boys. The religious leaders, recog-
nizing that there is no justifiable rea-
son for such a disparity, have come
together in this great Men and Re-
ligion Forward Movement.
Seventy-fiye cities in the United
States and Canada will be used as
centers from which this movement
will work. Jacksonville will be one
of these centers.
Groups of experts along the lines
of Bible study, evangelism, boys
work. missions and social service will
hold eight-day conferences in these
chosen cities.
The responsibility for spreading
the influences of these conferences
rests with the men of these seventy
five cities. Similar conferences will
be held within sixty days following
the conference period of Jacksonville,
which will be January 2Sth to Febru-
airy 4th, in many of the neighboring
cities and towns.
The Jacksonville organization has
for its officers:
]. H. McLaurin, chairman.
c. w. Kline, vice chairman.
Chas. T. Paxon, recording secre-
tary.
G. Ernest Moodey, executive sec
rotary.
W. A. Redding, treasurer.
Eleven subcommittee are argan-
lied for the purpose of carrying out
the plans of this movement. Already
over two hundred men have accepted
responsibilities under the committee
system
The next great day to be observed
in Jacksonville will be what is known
as rally day, on Sunday, October Sth.
