"Teach them, thy sons, and thy
sons sons. "-Deut. 4:9.
The first school room is the home.
The first teachers are the parents.
We variously specialize with schools.
These institutions are TO supplement,
but never TO supplant, the functions
of the parents as teachers.
This is the natural order. The
parents have The first contact with
the child. For years before it reach
es the school stage of life, it is in
their hands TO be nodded. They
have the first and highest interest in
the little one. And if anyone in the
wide world ought TO be careful, dill
gent and Jealous in the instruction
of children, il is the parents. The
animal parent inStinctivcly inStructs
IFS young. Shall the rational parent
be inferior in function and diligence
10 the animal?
The natural order is reinforced by
positive divine commands. Lest
we forget" the natural order, God,
the Father of us all, sings on The rep
clifton of it in explicit terms. Here
it is in this text. 1t flashes at many
angles and in varying lights, from
many texts. God most Solemnly ac-
centuateS the duty of every parent TO
be the teacher of their own offspring
The attitude of the state empha-
sizes this duty.
AT vast pains and costs, the state
educateS, freely, the child, that it
may become an intelligent, discern
ing citizen. If self-intereSt impcls
the estate to educate its citizens, how
much more should self-intercst i'm
pei the parent to teach The child!
The very limitations and deficien-
cies of state schools accentuate this
call to parents. According to our
conception of government, the state
cannot teach religion. In the very
highest regions the state acknowl-
edges its impotence. 1t backs out
and leaves TO others the supreme
teaching. To whom can il leave it
save 10 you? Let every parent real,
iZc that here is a native obligation
that is not transferable.

Osceola County's Distinction


Kissimmee Gazette: Osceola coun-
ty has the undisputed distinction of
being the only county in Florida
which has a full list Of Republican
candidates to contest the hOnors oil
office with the nominees of the DEM
ocratic primaries.
1t is an memorable law of nature
and ethics that each blessing has its
attendant evil; that each disadvan-
tage has its compromising advantage.
Regarded in this philosophical light,
we are merely paying for the blessed
privilege that we enjoy Of entertain
ing among us a colony of Grand
Army veterans, also a distinction
and pleasure that are enjoyed only
by Osceola county. Our efforts at
benevolent assimilation have signally
failed thus far. There may come a
time when the Republican brethren
from Iowa and Illinois and New
York, whom we have with us will be
rock ribbed Democrats, participating
regularly and with good conscience
in the Democratic primaries and sup
porting the Democratic nominees as
they are pledged to debut we don't
think so. In fact, we entertain no
such blissful hope. 1t is not denying
our brethren from other states the
privileges of local self-government to
insist that they shall support the
nominees of the Democratic party If
they take part in the Democratic
nominations. 1t is requiring nothing
more of them than is required of
every other voter, native or alien,
who takes part in the party nomina-
tions. They have the right of free
born Americans to put ticket of
! their own in the field and support
that ticket, but they haven't the
right to play tick-tack in the hurdy-
gurdy fashion as they have this
year. With all respect for the good
purposes of the few who have dis
claimed the purpose Of voting for
other than the Democratic nominees
in the election, we cannot believe for
a moment that this creditable deter
mination is possessed by any consid-
cradle number; if such were the
case, there would be absolutely no
object in putting out a Republican
ticket. While no fear of defeat is
entertained by the Democratic nomi-
nees our Republican friends have
forced them to make a second cam
paign. The game of politics is a
queer one, and if the regular NOM
inees had remained idle there is no
doubt that many OBJECTIONS would
have been the result. We hope our
Republican friends feel proud OF
themselves. With no ground to base
the hope of victory upon they have
made it troublesome and expensive
for the Democratic candidates. We
respectfully submit to them that such
action does not strengthen neighbor-
ly feeling nor conduce cultivation of
the amenities.

The Supreme Court has held to
Gov. Gilchrist's contention regarding
the legality of the submission of the
Initiative and Referendum amend
ment at the coming election, and vo-
tiers will not be called upon to pass
upon the measure at this time. And
it perhaps is just as well. Had
these measures been submitted and
carried they would have been practi-
cally imperative without additional
amendments. They were proposed
by an unfriendly legislature and
made impossible of action. The
coming legislature will probably give
electors an opportunity to pass upon
a similar measure which will be
worth something.

Tampa Tribune: Some of the pa
pers are criticising the Governor for
attempting to write poetry" and also
criticising the poetry" itself. In
this they are unjust to the Govern
or. The Governor specifically labeled
his production "doggerel" and he
certainly made no mistake in this
classification of it.
He made no pretense to poetry
He essayed to write doggerel and he
did it,
We do not think it beneath the dig
nifty of a Governor to write doggerel
If he had nothing else on his mind at
the time and desired that sort of rec
reation, no harm was done by follow
ing his inclination.
No one is compelled to read the
Governors production. But no one
will be injured by reading it. Indeed
to our mind, it is much more interest
ing than much of the serious, official
documentary stuff emanating from
Tallahassee.

ing a series of meetings for the pur,
pose of discussing means of boosting

for discussion was improved health
conditions. There is too much ma
larial fever per capita and the ply
sicians are joining with all patriotic
citizens to drive the scourge from
among us. The trouble it is hoped
will be traced to it's source and the
cause removed. Palatka doesn't have
more malaria than the average Flor
ida town, but even little of it is re-
garded as too much and the purpose
is to cut it out entirely. Great inter
est is being taken in the discussion of
this vital question.

"MR. JOHNSING
OF CHICAGO"

Jack johnson, Negro and cham.
pion pugilist Of the world, was ar.
rested in Chicago last week charg.
ed with abducting pretty Lucille, Is
year old daughter of Mrs. F. Came
ron-Falconet of Minneapolis. The
young woman was fascinated by the
negro who appeared to exercise a sort
of hypnotic Influence over her She
refused to leave him and the mother
with the hyphenated name was oblig-
ed to swear out warrant for the
pugiIist and to have the girl confin-
ed. After his arrest johnson was
formally booked and then allowed
his liberty in order to secure bond in
the sum of $500"
The dispatches say that Mrs. Cam
eron-Falconet, sobbing and hysteri-
cal, pleaded with her daughter to
leave the negro and come home with
her, while johnson defed the police
and laughed at the sobbing mother.
How can | help it if the girl is crazy
about me-" he chuckled. 81 am going
to pick my own girls and nobody is
going to dictate to me, either
could get you (referring to the moth
err if wanted you, or any woman in
Chicago"
Now what do you think of that?
Had this thing occurred in Florida
or any other southern state "Mr."
Jack Johnsing's anatomy would have
assumed the appearance of sieve
quicker than hell could scorch
feather, and public sentiment would
have appIauded the act of the real
men who served as perforators.
But mollycoddles instead of men
seems to be the principle product of
the human race in Chicago and 9TH
er sections of the north. These BIZ
peds are the result of environment
and false theory of social and polit-
zeal equality inherited from the fren-
zy of the aboItionists following the
years Immediately succeeding the civ
il war.
1t was in Chicago that Theodore
Roosevelt in the full flush of an eyre
gious egoism, standing before the i'm
mense gathering at the convention
which nominated him, placed his arms
around two buck negroes and boldly
proclaimed that they were the equal
Of any white man in the audience,
sentiment and act which was vocif-
erously applauded.
That applause and the fact that no
white men in that great city could
be found to resent the insult to the
white women of America by this
bloated negro brute, inclines one. to
the opinion that perhaps Teddy is
RIGHT after all-when it comes to
manhood in that section.
And that is precisely the condition
that would eventually obtain in this
section could Teddy, or Taft, or any
of the negro-loving parties gain con-
troll of the South. There was time
when they forced US to bolt such
but it hurt US intensely-it |
us and we threw it off.

An AbOrtve Effort.

Tampa Times: The bull moose
disciples in Florida, are apt stud
ents of the methods of their great
CD national leader He is nothing
if not sensational. He is always in
the limelight, playing to the CALLER
les of the continent-wide audience,
until now he has attained the acme
of the theatrical in the martyrs end
of an attempted assassination.
In feeble imitation of his methods,
his followers in Florida launched a
day or two ago what they intended
as first-class political sensation and
an annihilating blow at the hopes of
the democrats of giving Wilson the
electoral vote of Florida. They
claimed to have found that the list
of the state nominations of the dem
ocratic party had not been properly
certified to the various boards that
had functions to perform in having
printed the ballots to be used at the
general election in November, and
that consequently none of the names
of the democratic candidates could
be legally placed upon said ballots;
and them even went so far as to file
with said boards formal protests
against the printing upon the ballots
said names.
1t is truly said that "a little knowl-
edge is a dangerous thing" Their
legal adviser read a little law-but
not quite enough to prevent his par
ty making itself ridiculous. He
found Section PIP of the Revised
Statutes, which says that the names
of the candidates nominated by pri-
mary elections shall be certified by
the canVasSers of said election, and
knowing that this had not been done
by the democrats, cried "Eureka"
and ran forthwith to his associates
and told them what he had found.
They Immediately filed the protests
we alluded to above.
The aStute counsel had not read
far enough. He should have turned
a few more leaves and read Section
PIG, which makes an altogether diff
ferent provision in regard to certify
ing nominations by a primary cleo
ton, saying that such nominations
may be certified by the chairman of
the state executive committee. which
is exactly what the stupid democrats
did
Now these two sections seem to
conflict, and they do. They make |
different provisions as to the same !
matters. Now, every lawyer knows |
that the rule of construction in such /
cases, where two statutes conflict in .
their terms, is that the one bearing .
the later date governs. The section |
according to the provisions of which
the democratic authorities proceeded
was enacted in 1901, while that which
the null mooser found was passed in
1897; consequently it had been su-
perseded and repealed. So much for
the political tempest in a teapot"

Al There! Mr.. GRAY

Tampa Tribune: The contention
that the Republicans have placed
George C. Crom on the ticket for
Comptroller with intent to deceive
the voters and make them believe
they are voting for the late Comp
troiler Groom is about as far-fetched
a proposition as the campaign has
produced. A voter who doesn't
know Crom from Groom and that A.
C. Groom is dead and who doesn't
know further that w. " Knott is the
Democratic nominee for Comptroller,
isn't intelligent enough to be vested
with the ballot. The statement GO
ing the rounds of the press is silly in
the extreme and whoever sprung such
an absurdity ought to be ashamed
of it.
