CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS

Claude L'Engle has appointed him
self collector of the democratic cam
paign fund for Florida, despite the
fact that the Pensacola Journal, the
Tribune and several other papers have
already started subscription lists.
Claude says, in Dixie, that he wants
only the progressive" papers to help,
naming those which supported Wilson
for the nomination, which reveals the
narrow and prejudiced spirit of the
fellow. In this campaign, it would
seem that the ticket needs the sup
port of all democratic voters and
democratic papers, whether they were
for Wilson originally or not-and Of
democratic dollars, too, whether they
come from the pocket of a democrat
IL the management of the national
campaign should pursue the plan
which Claude LEngle has mapped out,
Wilson and Marshall would be de-
feated.-Tampa Tribune.
Beg your pardon, esteemed Tribune,
for butting in; but we read the article
in Dixie that you refer to, then we
read proof on it and reprinted it and
we have just read 1t over again, and
We do not find in 1t any reason for
your assertion that Claude says he
wants only the progressive papers to
help. You would have to stretch the
meaning Of said article far away from
its words to draw any such conclusion.
IL the Star had been able to put any
such construction on the article, 1t
would not have reprinted 1t.
Mr. L'Engle, as one of the most
prominent democrats in the state, has
a right to remind the people Of their
duty to help contribute to the victory
We all hope for. But he has just pass
ed thru a bitter campaign, during
which he received much denunciation.
not little OF which came from the
Tribune, and he very naturally con-
fined his appeal to those papers he
knew were friendly. There is not i
line nor a word in his article to show
that he objects to the people sending
contributions thru other papers than
believe that IL he had named any of
the journals that fought him so fercely
during the campaign, he would have
exposed himself to further abuse.
So far as the Star is concerned IT
considers the Tribune a very progress
slve paper and believes II will leave
nothing undone in it's territory to elect
Wilson. The fact that il is collecting
money for the campaign needn't cause
Ii to denounce LEngle for doing the
same thing. The national committee
will need all 1t can obtain from all
sources.

Hannah, the Oldest Of the family,
was the daughter Of a first marriage.
She was now a spinster Of forty-fiye,
and had taught school for twenty
years. Hazel was the youngest Of the
three, she and Bernice having been
the offspring Of Danny VERSIONS sec
ond alliance with a woman Of roman
tic tendencies, which had no way Of
expressing themselves except in the
naming Of her children. Hazel, while
yet In her teens, had married a clerk
in jewelry store, called Josh McCrae.
1t had been happy marriage. After
the birth OF daughter, Hazel had re-
turned to her work as saleslady in a.
fashionable millinery. Both sisters,
Josh, and the child, had continued to
live together in domestic harmony, in
the house which Hannah, with the
savings Of a quarter of a century, had
finally cleared Of all mortgages and
now owned. No household could
have been more simply decent and
honest; no family more unaspiringly
content. In such an environment Ber.
nice. with her daring ambitions and
bold unscrupulousness, was like that
unaccounted-for blossom which in the
floral world is known as sport"
But 1t did not appear that she re-
garded herself as such. With the ex-
ception OF year spent in Los An
geles and Chicago she had been a
member Of the household from her
childhood till the day Of her marriage.
| The year OF absence had been the re-
suit OF sudden revolt against the
monotony Of life and surroundings, an
upwelling Of the restless ambitions
that preyed upon her A good position

where she was employed In one Of the
most prosperous business houses. earn
ing a large salary. But, like many
! Californians, inconsistencies seized her,
and before the year was out she was
back, inveighing against the eastern
manners, character, and climate, and
glad to shake down again into the
family nest. Her sisters were salts
fed with her account Of her wander
ings, not knowing that Bernice was as
much Of an adept at telling half q
story as she was at taking down a
dictation in typewriting. She was too
clever to be found out in lie; they
were altogether too simple to suspect
her apparent frankness.
After the excursion she remained at
home until her marriage. Her liaison
with Dominick was conducted with
the utmost secrecy. Her sisters had
not a suspicion Of it. knew nothing

GREAT OPPORTUNITY
FOR BOYS AND GIRLS

The editor OF the Star was just pre-
pairing to write something about
Dixie's educational offer when his eye
fell on the following from the Palatka
News, which covers the ground exact
ly:
Claude LEngle. congressman-at-
large-elect and editor OF Dixie, the
states most strenuous exponent Of
progressive democratic doctrine, has
Just announced a scheme for extending
the circulation OF his most excellent
journal which, we are sure. will ap-
peal to hundreds Of Florida's young
men and women, and more especially
those who are ambitious for an educa-
ton and are at a loss concerning the
means to obtain IT. Mr.. L'Engle has
made the way clear to this class. To
every boy who sends him 200 new sub
scribers to Dixie at $3.50 per year
each he agrees to pay that boys board
lat the Florida State University for the
full session Of nine months, pay the
registration fee, uniform. books, laun
dry. incidentals, etc, in fact the full
expense Of the years course. The same
proposition holds good to the girls.
only the State College for Women a
Tallahassee is the institution propos-
d
eraI one and already We see a large
number of L'Engle students headed for
these institutions. With the campaign
on and the democratic standard bear
er one OF the nations greatest expOn-
ents of progressiveism, the proposition
does not look a bit hard. Dixie is not
an unknown paper in Florida and its
editor has something of reputation
for progressiveism himself. The young
man or woman who goes into this
campaign for subscriptions with a
determination to win will find it easy.
There is no such word as fail attached
to the proposition for any ambitious
boy or girl. The News hopes Putnam
county will have it's full share of sue
cessful workers.

but that the young man was attentive
to her, till she told them of her ap-
preaching marriage. This took place
in the parlor of Hannah's house, and
the amazed sisters, bewildered by Ber-
ny's glories, had waited to see her
burst into the inner glories of fashion
and wealth with a tiara Of diamonds
on her head and ropes Of pearls about
her throat. That no tiara was forth
coming, no pearls graced her bridal
parure, and no Ryan ever crossed the
threshold Of her door, seemed to the
loyal Hannah and Hazel the most
unmerited and inexplicable injustice
that had ever come within their ex-
perience.
1t took Bernice some time to dress,
for she attached the greatest impor-
lance to all matters of personal adorn-
ment, and the lunch hour was at hand
when she alighted from the Hyde
Street car and walked toward the
house. 1t was on one Of those streets
which cross Hyde near the slope Of
Russian Hill, and are devoted to the
habitats Of small, thrifty householders.
A staring, bright cleanliness is the
prevailing Characteristic of the neigh
borhood, the cement sidewalks always
swept, the houses standing back in
tiny squares of garden, clipped and
trimmed to precise shortness of
grass and straightness of border. The
sun was now broadly out and the
house-fronts engarlanded with vines,
their cream-colored faces spotless in
fresh coats Of paint, presented a line
of uniform bay-windows to its ingra-
tiating warmth. Hannah's was the
third. and its cleaning clearness Of
window-pane and the stainless purity
Of its front steps were points Of do
nestle decency that its proprietor in
sisted on as she did on the servant
girls apron being clean and the par
lor free from dust.
