81 magnify mine office. RIO
mans, 1913 i. C.
If an apostle found a way in
which TO greater an office that
Christ had ordained, surely some of
US who stand on lower rounds of
official life may do so. | have
made a plea for interest for the
teacher in the schools. Now, /
make plea for interest from the
teacher.
want TO ask all teachers TO be
profoundly and personally interested
in the Great Teacher. No one has
so exalted the details of teaching as
He. And if you are 10 magnify the
office of teaching, truly, sit down at
His feet and learn of Him. Learn
methods of Him. Imbibe His life
and spirit, and teach as He taught.
Lincoln was not technically teacher.
Yet he was leader of people be.
cause he taught them the truth.
And his spirit, style and temper
were those of Jesus. Go thou, and
do likewise.
Then you ought TO have intense
interest in the office of teaching.
Else ii will never be magnified in
your practice. If teaching be but a
make shift, bit of drudgery whose
focal point is pay day, then il will
not by you be magnified. But with
genuine honest interest in it the Of
flee of a teacher may be magnified
above all our comprehension. So
crates, Arnold of Rugby, Mark Hop
kins and many a lowlier one, has
honored this splendid office, and
made il lift The world into Serener
nights of living. The four square,
ill-ventilated, ugly old room, if you
are condemned 10 teach in such,
ought to be of interest enough 10
you TO inspire you 10 cover or cure,
as far as possible, its defects by the
exercise of bit of artistic and hui
name ingenuity. Here is a good
place to exercise the Mark Tapley
quality of coming out strong under
adverse circumstances. But The
direct objective of your interest is
that mass of wriggling raw material
of education, the children. Are
they unintercsting, indifferent, idle,
forbidding? Maybe. But, 0, in
more cases than can be told, such
unpromiSing material has mounted
up into a splendid finished product.
You shall have need of patience.
But who, that grows great things,
hasn't?
81 am trusting Thee for patience,
Thine can never fail;
That which Thou, myself, shalt
give,
Must prevail" ]. NJ. b.

is that the State or county shall employ

any congressman or senator who votes
for it. And ii is very much 10 be hoped
that every newspaper in the land will
adopt the same attitude. 1t is high

word from home. Since writing the
above, the news has come 10 us of the
diSContnuance of the Oviedo Advance,

Out with the little fellow; out with the
small fry; out with the poor man.

nyway;-Orlando Reporter Star.
The above paragraph from the Or
lando Reporter Star, one of the papers
in Florida that has lost its temper be,
cause of rider attached 10 the post
office appropriation bill passed by the
last Congress, and which requires that
all newspapers publish twice each year
and file with the department the names
OF its editors and owners, mark as ad-
vertising all paid-for reading matter,
and, in case of daily papers, TO publish a
sworn statement of circulation.
Surely this law OF the postal depart
ment cannot be considered hardship
by legitimate newspapers, though we
can see how it has proven humiliating
TO those papers which are owned by the
Interests and which have a motive in
covering up their real ownerS-papers
whose one mission on earth is TO mould
public sentiment by SpeciouS argument
and only seeming diSintcrestedness TO
aCquicsCenCc in their own selfish
schemes. The Paalka News has
nothing TO hide. Its owners names ap.
pear weekly at the head of its editorial
column, All it had 10 do under the
new law was 10 make affidavit that
these published names are the real and |
only owners. Not hardship, that; and |
neither do these men feel that they
have been Inundated. They do not
believe il has injured their business. III
has not been the habit of this paper to
publish paid for matter in its editorial or
news columns, and under the present
law il will be quite impossible to &C,
quire the habit. The Orlando papers

to the question What right has a poor

Concerning the Immature CT

Orlando, Oct. 5, I9I3.
To my fellow countrymcn of the Sew
enth Circuit of Florida:

Orlando, Oct 3, 1913.
To my fellow Countrymcn OF the Sew
enth Circuit of Florida:
The season is fast approaching for the
sale and shipment of our oranges, and
TO many of you will come the tempta-
ton TO violate the Immature Fruit Law
of Florida; the question OF gain or good
citizenship will be presented 10 you, and
you must fairly and Squarcly decide be-
tween loyalty and dsloyalty TO the law
of your own making.
appeal therefore 10 the higher and
better feelings of you all. Let il be said
that in this era of graft and SelfishneSS,
that the high minded, brave people of
the Seventh Circuit have set all conSid-
eratonS OF mere gain aside and will
stand by their laws, simply because il is
right TO stand by the law.
Although there have been various
holdings of this law by Judges 10 other
Circuits, yet the fact remains that the
Immature Citrus Fruit Law has been de
clarrd to be good and sound in this Cir
cult by His Honor w. H. Price at the
Fall Term of St. Lucie Circuit, he hav,
ing presided at this Term.
Hence this law is the law OF the Sew
enth Judicial Circuit of Florida, and il
will remain in active operation until il
is repealed by the Legislature or is re-
verSed by the Supreme Court of the
State.
Therefore it is my duty, without
choice, TO sustain the law, supported by
a decision of Judge in this Circuit, as
long as ii is on the Statute Book, and
however il may pain me TO prosecute a
friend, yet if occasion arises, shall do
so TO the best of my ability and TO the
cleareSt conception OF my duty.
| trust, however, there will be no
such necessity, for ! can not conceive
of any man deliberately violating the
law in the face of this appeal, which
is made TO all OF you as 10 friends and
fellow citizens who feel with me that
the only safety of the State lies in SuS.
