Fixed Opposition
To Reforms.

The story OF the Arkansas settler
who, when asked why he did not re-
pair his roof, replied that when it did
not rain he did not need to and that
when II did rain he couldn't work at
IT has been laughed at for half a CEN
fury.
It carries moral that illustrates all
attempts at repair.
The wrongs that annoy may be
borne, for we are accustomed to them
and have Injured ourselves to their ex-
istence. Change, even for the better,
breaks up old customs-and human
nature is born and bred to a dislike
of that which disturbs old habits.
How few among even the advanced
thinkers Of our age take into account
the social element when discussing re-
formsl They are apt to think that
when the argument is made the cause
is won. They forget the fixed habit,
the settled prejudice, that makes HUI
mainly slow to move.
Society is of necessity conservative.
All agitation disturbs enjoyment by
threatening a change of condition.
The great power in society against
reform is the responsibility 1t claims
for itself. Responsibility is conser-
vative. 1t conserves all wrongs that
have been polished to refinement, al
though the refinement may in fact be
only a shabby veneering and varnish.
The social world sets its face against
reform and is potent for mischief. 1t
kills movements in that direction by
making them disreputable. The most
effective weapon OF all in that direc-
ton is that of epithet. To call one a
crank. IL 1t does not COW the reformer
certainly renders him helpless. Half
a century ago to call a man an aboli-
zionist was to consign him to social
lnfamy. Today those who seek to arr
rest human slavery and gross extor-
ton under form of law are sneered al
as socialists
Immense power against goodness is
welded by society as organized by evil
The gates Of hell are golden gates
and the high seats within and all the
crowns are reserved for the respecta-
bic. The virtues then are not offensive
and the vices are gentlemanly and
ladylike. A man may not steal loaf
Of bread, however near starvation, but
he can defraud others of a. million and
not only hold his social position but
win admiration.
We deplore the benighted condition
Of the dark continent and collect vast
sums TO convert the heather, wher
true honesty and real brotherhood are
less known in our midst than in the
center of Africa
Yet how reform survives both the
reformers and its enemies all history
tells US.
The treason of one generation i:
the loyal principle of another.
The crank of today is the hero o.
the hereafter.
The very stones with which the
masses pelt the martyr to death form
an alter at which the same class wor.
ships in generations long after.

Women and Their
Foolish Fears.

The changing OF the bell of a pass
ing fire engine caused woman in a
Chicago theater to spring to her feet
with a cry OF FIRE" and start the au-
dience. mostly women and children, in
a stampede.
Just like a woman-eh?
She never knows enough to think
twice, but must lose her head at the
slightest cause. and through her sheep
like timidity lead herself and all sense
less enough to follow her. to death?
1t happens that way many times.
But did you ever notice that in the
scares and stampedes it is the big
men who. believing like terrified bulls,
thrust the women and children out OF
their way or remorselessly trample and
crush them under their feet?

MOTHERHOOD
SUGGESTIONS
Advice TO Expectant Mothers

The experienceof Motherhood is a try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at
such times, but many approach the
experience with an organism untitled
for the trial of strength, and when it
is over her system has received shock
from which it is hard to recover. Fol-
lowing right upon this comes the ner-
vous strain of caring for the child, and
distinct change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health CT
beauty. The unexplainable thing is that,
with all the evidence of shattered nerves
and broken health resulting from an un-
prepared condition, and with ample time
in which to prepare, women viii persist
in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham Vegetable Com
pound, a most valuable tonic and invig-
orator of the female organism.

Just a Suggestion.

Just a Suggestion.
Since West Florida is continually
ignored by the rest of the state even
to the extent of being deprived of the
privilege of a seat in a political ring,
the Star suggests that the seven
counties west of the Chattahoochee
river withdraw from the rest of the
state and organize a new state and
elect Bill Mapoles for governor. De-
Funiak is admirably located and suit
ed for a state capital
If Bro. Cleveland should kick against
this suggestion we will amend it by
agreeing to make him private secre-
tary to the governor. Bro. Storrs
would perhaps accept the Office of
state printer.
The Star would like to nominate
Frank l.. Mayes for West Florida's
first United States senator and Col.
w. w. F1ournoy for her first congress-
man.
How does this suggestion catch
you, boys Milton Star.
Municipal Docks.
Now that the agitation of municipal
ownership of docks is being made in
all cities in Florida shat have water
fronts would it not be we'll for Sanford
to consider the subject before all this
valuable property is gobbled up by pri-
waite parties. Ihe question OF lake
front has been spoken of many times
but no action has ever been taken re-
garding same. The bulk heading OF
the lake front. if it is ever done, will
conflict with the ownership of the
property along the lake shore and this
question will have to be settled in the
near future. Sanford will one day be
d great shipping center for all the
river trade and the municipal owner
ship of docks will then be a thing Of
the past. While taking up other sub
jects for the welfare of the city would
it not be well to include the subject
of municipal ownership Of the dockage

F |NCERP PRINTS Of
BABIES PLANNED.
Police Expert Proposes Way to
Prevent Any One LOS
ing Identity"

NEW YORK, Sept LIT will be-
man or baby in the United States to
lose his identity" IL plan proposed by
Captain Joseph A. Faurot, of the denti-
f9cation bureau of the New York police
and favorably discussed by members OF
the American Medical association is
adopted
The plan is to record the finger prints
of every baby born in America Copies
of these prints would be kept In the coun-
ty seat of the county in which the child
was born, and also in a national identi-
fication bureau at Washington.
1t is declared that with such a system
properly developed there would he no such
thing as burying Unidentified" people;
that no citizen could conceal his real iden-
tity unless by the heroic method of cut
ting OF the tips of his fingers.
Prints from baby fingers. says The
Journal of the American Medical Asso-
citation, will absolutely identity the in
dividual from the cradle to the grave.
The print of the baby and it's mother
differ Enthusiastically The measurement
will be enlarged with growth, but other
wise they never change"
Among the many advantages Of such
a plan" says The Journal, would be the
possibility that the numberless unfortu-
mates found dead might be identified.
This system might solve those puzzles
which aphasla and insanity are constantly
presenting-cases continually increasing
in number by reason of the great strain
OF our present-dsy civilization. The crime
OF desertion might be prevented were
the mothers and her infants finger tips
printed on the same card The finger
printing of policy holders would prevent
fraudulent death claims"
