Mr.. L. III. Paris Goes To
Heard National Bank

Mr.. l.. II. Paris, for some two
years individual book keeper for
The Exchange National Bank, has
resigned his position to accept
position as head bookkeeper, in
charge Of the individual book
keepers for The Heard National
Bank Of Jacksonville, Fla, a very
large institution with Million
Dollar Capital, and with deposits
over One Million Dollars.
Mr.. Paris has given the highest
satisfaction to The Exchange
National Bank, and that institution
regrets to part with his valuable
services; yet, full of appreciation
for his splendid merits as an ac-
countant, and as a man with a
bright future in the banking bust
ness, they are pleased at his pro-
motion.
Having conducted himself pru-

winning friends for himself, many
of our people will regret also to
see him leave.
The Heard National Bank Of
Jacksonville is now making ready
one Of the finest bank and office
buildings in the South, and Mr..
Paris surroundings will be in
every way conclusive to rapid as
cension in banking service.
1t is rather distinct compli-

Bank to have had a man in its
service who has proved himself
competent for such a responibles
position, and it is at once COM
pliment to the the Fitzgerald Bank

GOVERNMENT TO BAR
PUBLIC DRINKING CUPS

The s of common drinking cups
has been prohibited on all inter-
state railroad trains by a quarantine
order issued by Secretary McVeigh.
The order was promulgated upon
recommendation of Surgeon General
Blue of the Public Health ard Ma
rine Hospital service and is one of
the most advanced steps ever taken
by the federal government in pro-
tecting the health of the people.
Hereafter all railroads will be
prohibited from furnishing common
drinking cups. Every person will
either have to furnish his W cup
or do without a drink. The order is
similar to the law which Is in effect
in twenty-six states.

HELPING THE CENSUS.

Six children in a little over 10
months is the remarkable record of
collaborating of Mrs. Stephen Ma
geotte, of Frenchtown, Crawford
county, Pennsylvania. She has
borne Is children in IL years, and
13 of them are living.
On September 10, 1911, she gave
birth to triplets, two girls and a boy
and recently three sturdy boys
arrived, just 10 months and 20 days
after the other trio.
The mother, an American, was the
belle of an old settlement before her
marriage to Negeott, himself of
French descent and a farmer IL
years ago.
The first children came single;
five years ago came twins. to be fol-
lowed by two single children, and
then the triplets in 1911. One of
the three born last year died a few
months ago, but the other two were
crying Justify when the new trio ar
rived.
Mrs. Nageotte is a small woman
and does all her own work, including
the care of the children. The father
has a large farm.

1t is a pity that We could not have
the election machinery for president
and vice president brought up to
modern conditions. There is no ca
son why we should not give immedi-
ate effect to the results of the cleo
ton. The new congress should be-
gin with the new year, and the new
administration the same. This is
something that we have advocated
heretofore, and we believe that the
change Is inevitable. Under ordi-
nary conditions the legislation de-
clared for by the election of Tues
day, would not be possible until the
assembling of congress the first Mon
day in December, 1913. When the
communications and transportation
in the country were slow and difficult
il was we'll enough to have the cleo
tors meet in the next year after the
the election, and the president to be
inaugurated four months after he
was elected. Under our improved
conditions, however, there is no rea-
son why the electoral college should
not meet in the different states early
in December. and have their vote
counted by the present congress soon
after its meeting. the first Monday in
December. Everything then would
be ready for a change of government
with the first of the year. The old,
slow conditions have passed away in
fact; now let them pass away in pro-
cedure and law. The next amend
ment to the federal constitution
might well provide for this expedit-
ing of matters, so that the expressed
will of the people could be given inn
mediate effect.

Governor Wilson, who has been
elected president by an overwhelm-
ing popular vote, will, we believe,
discharge the duties of the exalted
office conscientiously and successful
ly. As a student of history he mast
have gathered a vast fund of infor-
nation applicable to our own times,
and conditions, and in the various
public positions he has held he has
obtained valuable experience. If he
succeeds in surrounding himself by
good counselors, there is no reason
why he should not become a great
and popular executive.
1t may be idle to speculate over
the causes that led to the defeat of
the Republican party. They are
many and complex. The world is
full of unrest and dissatisfaction.
Changes are demanded by many-no
matter of what nature, as long as
there is a change. But the assump-
ton of Mr.. Roosevelt of the leader
ship of the disaffected in this coun-
try must be set down as the chief
cause. The party vote was divided.
And many conservative Republicans
contemplating the consequence of a
radical victory and fearing that
President Taft could not be elected
cast their votes for Wilson, as, in
their opinion, a safer man than
Roosevelt.
Mr.. Roosevelt has made the most
strenuous and spectacular campaign
in the history of our republic, and
although he was defeated, he has the
satisfaction of knowing that he has
a surprising large number of sincere
friends and admirers all over the
country. He may also contemplate
the fact that he has demonstrated
his power to make and unmake presi-
dents. That, however, is a danger
GUS power in a republic, when WELD
ed by one individual.
Congress is said to be under the
control of the Democrats, too. That
is rather fortunate than otherwise,
for when a party assumes the respon-
sibility of the government, it is just
as we'll that the control is so COM
plete that there is no excuse for shift
ing part of the responsibility upon
anybody else.

SOME EDITORIAL
ELECTION VIEWS
(Salt Lake TribuneD

DR.. Wilson's statement of yester-
day will have a good effect through
out the nation, and if he adheres TO
the policy thus outlined. he will de-
serve well of the American people
Sudden and marked changes, even
though their ultimate effect may be
beneficial, disturb business and un-
settle commerce.. If the sort of modi-
fed revision to which DR.. Wilson
was converted not long ago is to be-
come operative under his direction
insofar as it touches national affairs,
then prudence would suggest that
it be done as cautiously and as slow
ly as the natural exuberance of some
of DIR. Wilson's followers will permit.
We do not believe however that
the newly elected president will in
augurate any sweeping changes in
governmental policy. Il he were
chosen by a clear majority of the
people, if the election ret lrns could
be construed by him as an endorse
ment of his party's policies by more
than half our citizenship, then DR..
Wilson might feel himself justified,
and perhaps actually obliged. in
plunging at once into the work of al
legged reform. If he could read into
the election results any indication
that a majority of the people had
been won to the policies of which he
was the exponent, his course '"u.i
be different from what we believe it
is going to be.
Iir. .:on will no doubt under-
stand that the Democrats doctrine
of tariff for revenue only has not
been endorsed, since the combined
vote in opposition to it is largely in
excess of the support which the idea
received. He no doubt eomprehends
that while he has been elected
through the activities of Mr.. Roose-
welt, he Is still the representative of
a party clearly in the minority. We
believe that knowledge will steady
him and prevent the Inauguration of
disastrous policies at least with any
precipitancy.

The election of Wilson and Mar
shall is by so decisive a verdict that
those of us who predicted victory for
Taft are inclined to believe a proph-
ct is without honor in any country.
If the country is to be c%ongratu-
lated upon anything, it is upon the
fact that there can be no question as
to the expressed desire of the ma
jority. We said before election,
and we still maintain that the deeis-
ion of the American people to turn
their backs on the protective tariff
policy Endorsed by the Republican
party and President Taft would be
and is a step in the wrong direction.
But the people have, and exercise.
the right to choose. We have un-
shaken faith in the integrity of
purpose of the American voters, but
not in their judgment.
The hope of the nation is that
Woodrow Wilson will disregard the
platform pledges of his party, made
to appeal to the bourbon element.
and refuse to sanction any legisla-
ton which shall be aimed at the in
dustries and indirectly at the wage
earners and farmers of the country.
We hope he is big enough to do this.

are many things to do in the world
