j. III. Benjamin who with l. H. Ed
ridge founded the News. and who is
now editor of the Ocala Daily Star. is
making great paper out of this little
daily. 1t is a source of much profit
to the lazy country editor who wants
bright things to print without writing
them himself. Mr.. Benjamin ran a
daily paper in DeLand about twenty
years ago, the DeLand Daily News.
Perhaps DeLand will see a daily News
again some day.-DeLand Weekly
News.
Any praise from DeLand is specially
grateful to the editor OF the Star. who
made that unsurpassed little town his
home for four years and found many of
his truest friends among it's people. We
have been expecting to see a daily
News for some years, and are willing
to guarantee it in advance one of the
most independent and interesting in
the state.

SIMPLIFY THE STUDIES

The schools of Florida have some
fine teachers and they accom-
plish good work, but if we would be
permitted to make a suggestion, we
would advise them to change the daily
school program. AS it now stands, the
pupils go from one study TO another
all day long in one continuous recita-
tation, with few if any study periods.
At the end of the day they are given
long lessons to prepare at night. The
pupil goes home and the mother or
father, tired with the days work, has
to spend several hours explaining and
drilling the child in order that the
next days work will be in proper
shape In many homes the parents are
not capable of assisting the children,
their daily vocations having caused
them to forget their early training;
other parents have never had the adj
vantages they wish their children to
have, and are utterly at a loss to help
them. In this way the child stumbles
along as best he can, and teacher and
parent wonder why Johnny or Susie
never made any better averages at the
close Of the year. We believe that the
days work in the school room should
be so arranged that at least thirty
minute study periods should precede
each lesson, during which time the
teacher could be called upon to assist
when necessary. In this way the child
would have more thorough under
standing of the subjects mind. and
night study would be eliminated. We
do not believe that after child
studies all day that he should be COM
PEELED to put in from four to six hours
overtime at the same kind of work.
The teachers argue that the large
number of studies will not allow of
study periods. Cut out a few of the
studies, then. We can do with less
bugology and more reading and writ
ing and arithmetic anyway. If the
parents think that the children will
idle their time away after school hours
IL they are not studying. let the boys
hoe the garden and the girls dry a few
dishes and learn to sew. That will be
much better for them and when Il
and l o'clock at night comes they will
be in bed instead OF up over their les
sons, unable to go to bed for fear OF
the consequences of the morrow
lakeland Telegram
The crying need of Florida public
school education is more foundation
and less superstructure, Not only are
the minds of the children burdened
with some useless studies, but so much
only available to a few, that enough
competent teachers cannot be employ
ed to develop the minds of the many.

NEW ENGINES FOR WABASH

The Wabash has just received and
put in service a large number of new
locomotives for freight and passenger
service, and has placed another order
for additional motive power for
early delivery. The passenger engines
are of the Pacific type. with 24x26
inch cylinders and weigh 100000
pounds. They have boiler pressure
OF 200 pounds, and tractive power of
$3.50 rounds. The tender has ca.
pacity for fifteen tons of coal and s,oou
gallons of water.
These engines are capable of haul
ing the heaviest passenger trains. In
designing them, special attention has
been given to starting a train and get
ting it up to the maximum speed
quickly, which insures smooth. even
run. The freight engines are known
as the Mikado type, which is the
last word in motive power. Attention
has been given TO lessening the con,
sumption of fuel, thus enabling the
engines to make long runs on stipn-
lated amounts of coal and water.

meant to be implied is. as Colonel
Harvey says, simply ridiculous.
But oddly enough they who are in
favor of another term of Colonel
Roosevelt assume TO their own salts
faction that the colonel meant that he
would not take another term following
Immediately upon the first two. but
that ne meant that he was at liberty
to take another term. and so on. The
Buffalo News in discussing the matter
suggests that it should be obvious to
the great mass of Americans that
declarations which are modified in af-
ter years or that are open to modif-
cation. are not to be taken too seri-
ously at the hands of all those who
put them forth. But it is pertinently
declared that the way to enforce the
third term tradition is to enforce 1t,
that is, to defeat any man. whoever
he may be. who shall OF his own ac-
cord present himself as candidate
for a third term, no matter what
excuse is rendered for that ambition.

question of his authority in such case,

Three Years Of Taft---An Index
Speech Of Hon. William J. Browning Delivered in the
House Of Representatives, February 26 1912.

MIR Chairman: desire to call the
attention of the country very briefly
tc some of the achievements OF our
President to which We should point
with pride.
Arbitration treaties With Great
Britain and France, aimed at war, have
been negotiated and are now before
the Senate. Similar negotiations with
other powers are pending.
Great trusts have been made TO feel
that the statutes carry penalties for
them as well as for the small trusts
AID for the individual violator of the
law. An era OF calm enforcement OF
existing law has been inaugerased. The
sugar corporation was convicted, pro-
ceedings brought against the Steel Cor
poration, and the coal, whisky, lumber.
and beef corporations brought to court.
More than two score prosecutions are
pending. The Standard Oil and Tobac-
co cases have been completed and an
Interpretation of the sherman law,
many years in doubt, obtained.
When a Democratic House threaten
ed to involve the United States with
Russia in a too hasty annuiment of
the passport treaty. President Taft as
sumed the weight of responsibility and
declared in diplomatic form that the
treaty would be abrogated upon the no.
.tice of one year which it required.
Scientific tariff revision has been put
in place OF political giving and taking
in such legislation. a Tariff Board has
teen created and its investigations
have brought recommendation from
the President for a revision and re-
duction OF the WOODEN schedule Other
schedules are under scrutiny, prepar-
atory to further recommendations If
they be found to conflict with Republi-
can platform principles. and his policy
looking TO future revision on scientif-
tic MISUNDERSTANDING revision has
become effective. The tariff bill re-
garded by President Taft as step in
the right direction. even though not a
perfect measure, has turned a SIS ,00A,-
600 deficit into 30,oOe, 900 surplus.
Wool, cotton, and so-called farmers
free-list bills, originating In Demo-
cratic House, have been vetoed be-
cause they violated the principle OF
the Republican platform that revision
of the tariff should be based upon the
difference in the cost of production at
home and abroad-a difference upon
which information at that time was
lacking.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS.

Henry Clews reports that the stock
market continues to reflect present
and prospective improvement in busi-
ness circles. This is PARTICULARS true,
he says, in regard to general business,
Advices from the west are all of a
more cheerful nature. Crop conditions
are exceptionally promising, although
in some sections spring is late Mer-
chants in all parts OF the west are
stocking up more freely in anticipa-
Ition of larger business. Consumption
Iof staple commodities does not appear
Ito have been curtailed by recent de-
'pression, partly owing to severe
winter, and distributors find them
selves absolutely obliged to repIenish
empty shelves much more freely than
expected.
The iron trade. on the same authori-
ty shows very encouraging degree
of activity. Some plants are running
at 30 per cent Of their capacity and a
few are known TO be running TO the
limit. MANY orders are now being giFen
out for steel required for structural
purposes, and the railroads are also
entering the market more freely for
rails, locomotives, cars, bridge mater
5ial, etc Rail orders since January are
reported at oYer 100000 tons compar-
ed with 100000 tons during the first
quarter of 1911. Fully 39,000 cars
have been ordered during the first
quarter q the current year compared
with $4,000 ordered at the same sine
last year. while 500 locomotives have
been ordered compared with 7S6 a
year ago. There are indications that
the railroads will become even more
liberal buyers in the near future.

THIRD TERM HISTORY.

Many regard the question of third
term as an academic one, for they
will not believe that anyone ever
seriously would appeal to the Amert-
can people TO overturn 1t, Yet there
are those who treat il as subject
that should be brought before the
people and kept there whenever there
is danger of an oyerturn OF what, IN
the North American Review in its
leading article. Editor George Harvey
describes as the Unwritten Law and
the Great Emergency
Colonel Harvey goes back TO the be-
ginning of things in the constitutional
convention TO show that Washington
and Madison acted in one steady OPP
position to unlimited reflections and
were faithful as long as they lived
to that conviction. Mr.. Harvey follows
up the proof on this point by citation
of the writing OF jefferson and how
explicitly Jefferson set forth the fact
that he followed the precedent OF his
llustrious predecessor and that long
afterWard he was proud that no fewer
than four Presidents had stood on the
doctrine Of limitation TO two terms,
not by law, but by unbreakable custom
and tradition.
Colonel Harvey shows that in 1875
the resolution OF the house OF repre-
sentatives AGAINST General Grants
ambition was generally concurred in
and the vote was nearly unanimous
in the house the desperate attempt
made in 1880 has passed into history
and it was supposed TO have settled
that whole question
I The article naturally comes down
Ito the remuneration of Colonel Roose
welt of 1901 and it's repetition after
ward, in which naturally he stands on
the same platform with the President
but held that he on serving out the
term to which he was elected IN
j 1904 filled out two terms and would
/ not be candidate under any circum
stances for another nomination Natur
ally, he holds that the later state
lment that the word consecutive was
