HILBURN'S
RESIGNATION.

By resigning his seat in the State Sen
ate Hon. S. ]. Hilburn has taken another
step which places him nearer the hearts
of the people and again stamps him as
man worthy of the public confidence.
There was no immediate demand that
he should resign. The activities of the
race for Congress did not in the least
interfere with his holding of the com
mission at the same time as senator from
the Twenty,sixth district, and if he
should haply be defeated for Congress,
he could have retained his place in the
Senate-such things have been done,
and such things are being done and such
things will continue TO be done.
The conscience of the public is not
yet thoroughly awake to the duty OF
public servant to the public. Whenever
the people wake up there will be ample
safety, for it will then matter little
whether the office holder is himself
sensitive to the prophecies of his posi-
tion-he will be made TO bow TO the
demands of the public.
Though this demand is not clamorouS
at present, there is a strong under cur
rent of positive thought antagoniStic TO
that candidate who holds on TO one
office while seeking another. The idea
presents itself TO the visions eye as be-
ing essentially apelike-this holding on
with one hand while reaching out with
the other for larger, stronger support
at the same time it is repellant TO the
rightful conception of things as they
should be. If ambition or circumstance
move man to seek higher office than
the one he holds through the Sutferance
of the people, he should do the people
simple justice to hand their office back
to them for the purpose of beStowing
it where they through the majority shall
determine. 1t is selfish in the extreme
and unfair to the people to do less. We
are glad that Sam HiIburn has taken the
proper course in this matter; glad for
other reasons and glad because we find
in this action another thing to commend
in his candidacy for Congress.

FAIR EXCHANGE.
A New Back for an Old One.
How it Can be Done
in Palatka.

The back aches at times with dull,
indescribable feeling, making you weary
and restless piercing pains shoot across
the region of the kidneys, and again the
loins are so lame to stoop is agony. No
use to rub or apply plaster to the back
in this condition. You cannot reach the
cause. Exchange the bad back for a
new and stronger one. Palatka residents
would do well to profit by the following
example:
f. ]. Seeds, Warner Ave, Omega,
Fla, says: my kidneys and back
troubled me for years as a result of a
fall. My back became so lame that for
days at time could not work and
was often confined TO the house / doe

but could find nothing that would help
me until ! procured Doan's Kidney
Pills. Since taking them my back has
been strong and free from pain, the kid

$erlncllette.

Sand they all with one consent,
began to make excuse. Tx. 14:18.
My three friends whose identity ]
have had TO conceal under the fiction
of X, +. and Young Brown, are SO
nearly like the characters depicted
here in the Masters parable of the
Great Supper, that am led 10 think
of the Excuse Makers and their out
put of evasion.
The excuse is something that has
no actual existence. 1t has to be
made. 1t is a clumsy continuance at
best. 1t deceiveS nobody but the
maker of it. Like the composite
wonder laid on their professors desk
by some mischievous students, it is a
"humbug," pure and simple.
The excuse is compromisesthat
is attempted 10 be patched up with
God and conscience. When two
bodies of equal gravity and travelling
under the speed of equal forces meet
at right angles, the result is the com
promising diagonal. That diagonal
is the line OF excuse, 1t goes neither
direct way. Itsplits the difference.
A man is under constituting convic-
ton TO accept Christ as Savior But
the stubborn will is resistant. The
resultant is the compromise OF excuS-'
ing himself. He goes away from
Christ because he has, not reason,
but an excuse--that he has fitted and
glued together to simulate a reason.
The excuse is most subtle mode OF
self.deception. There is no way,
perhaps, in which man can, more
cleverly, impose upon himself than
by the way of excuses. He has at
tanned his object of remaining Christ.
less. But he hasn't actually denied
or rejected the Savior. He has mere
ly sidestepped the issue, and that
seem less harsh, less hurtful. But its
effect is just the same as il he had de-
MED with oaths and curses. This
latter leaves him under condemna-
ton. And so does the excuSing him
self. He is really under Self-condem-
nation, as well as Divine. For he
knows he has tricked conscience and
tried to deceive God and men. And
he realizes the truth of the French
proverbs Gle that excuses himself,
accuses himself" M. Il.
