FOR TAX ASSESSOR

To my friends who supported me
in the campaign of two years ago,
extend thanks, and with the best of
feeling toward those who expressed
their preference otherwise, I again
respectfully present my name to you
as candidate for the office of tax as
SCISSOR for Marion county.
My record for the past % years is
before you, and if the same justifies
you in casting vote my way, l as
sure that it will be duly appreciated,
and know that you will never have
cause to regret it.
1t would afford me great pleasure
to make a personal canvass and meet
you at your homes, but time and
means forbid, therefore will leave my
claim in your hands for your worthy
consideration. All | ask of you is
to be given a chance, and I will prove
to you that it does not require years
of experience to become good asses
sor. 1t is unfair TO measure my corn
in some others half bushel; besides,
a new broom sweeps mighty clean.

WON EN- FIRST

The tragedy of the Titanic was not
with those who went down, but with
the survivors. Oblivion is swift and
merciful: the burden of woe lies with
the widows and the orphans on the
Carpathia and with the other women
for whose sake widows and orphans
were bereaved. Seldom has one ship
carried such a load of misery, and
there must be many who would have
chosen to stay with the perishing,
but for their duty to the living, "Wo-
men first" is not a mere phrase or a
conventional flourish of chivalry, nor
is it to be explained as the magnanlm-
ity of the strong for the weak. 1t
is something far deeper than that, for
If is the instinct of race preservation,
il is regard for the mothers OF men.
When the Gauls sacked Rome the
women were crowded into the citadel
with what garrison was needed; the
senators put on their robes OF office
and sat scepter in hand awaiting the
end. It is so with every race that
deserves to live. To roam, TO nght'
to court death on land and sea IS nor
NAL for the male, but the life OF wo-
men is sacred because the future hes
with them. When different castles
and races are flung together IN d
common panic and disaster TINS great
fundamental instinct sometimes
breaks down, and we see the MD
CONS spectacle of murderous scram-
ble for life. But when the division
;s nlain. the men on one side' and
their wives, daughters and sweet
hearts on the other, to the credit OF
tbe race it may be said that there is
never faltering or indecision. Life IS
sweet, but it is always women nrst'

INDICATED WoMANHoop

In every great disaster the fates
seem to select one person who in the
hour of danger, stands out as a shin
ing example of bravery and devotion.
The great sea disaster of last Mon
day morning would have been differ
ent from all that have gone before if
II, out of the gloom of death and de-
struction, there had not come at least
one example of unique courage which
we may all remember, and which we
should emulate if circumstance
should ever offer.
Very little has been learned as vet
OF the great disaster to the Titanic
We already know, however, of many
acts OF heroism displayed on that
dread occasion. Our hearts warm to
the gallant captain who would not
leave, his sinking ship and went to
the depths with it. We know that
among all that throng there were
countless incidents of brave men
cheerfully. facing inevitable death
that some woman or some child might
go in safety to the waiting boats.
All honor to such men as Aston, and
Butt, and Stead, and Roebling, and
the hundreds of others less promi-
nent, every one of whom went to his
watery grave a hero of whom his
country is and should be proud.
What little we have learned of the
wreck brings one bright and shining
incident, the one that stands out, now
boldest of all, in that awful drama.
1t is said that Mrs. Isidor Strauss
had the opportunity to leave her hus-
band and to have gone in one of the
rescuing boats, but that she refused,
preferring death with him than life
at the price of DESERVING him. Clear
eyed and unafraid that devoted cou-
pie ended long and happy life clasp
ed in each others arms as they sank
beneath the cold and cruel waves of
the troubled sea.
History relates few incidents of
gerater courage or of rarer devotion
than shown by that loving, splendid
woman. Offered life, she chose death
with the man to whom she had given
herself for better and for worse.
The story of Mrs. Strauss brings
back much of our faith in the love
and devotion of husband and wife. 1t
gives the lie to the assertion that the
family in America is deteriorating
She showed a remarkable courage in
a remarkable crisis. Other women
show the same strong devotion, but
we have acquired the habit of BELT
Ting their love AID constancy.
The sacrifice of Mrs. Strauss will
tend to bring us back to the faith in
the goodness, in the courage and de-
votion of all womankind.
She deserves to have her name
written in letters of gold in the his
tory of her country and in the hearts
of her countrymen and countrywo-
men. May light perpetual ever shine
upon her-Miami Herald.
