HE WANTS THE FULLEST
GLARE OF PUBLICITY

I. When it comes to pr0gressiveness
Editor Frank l.. Mayes of the Pen
sacola Journal is certainly one to de-
light the heart of a radical In the
recent Christmas edition Of the Tam
"a Tribune that able journalist has
an article. prepared by request, on
the subject of publicity Of campaign
contributions and expenses, in which
he proposes that the present Florida
law on the subject shall be amended
SO that not only must candidates
make sworn statement of their
campaign expenses, but all persons
as we'll who contributed any money
TO that candidates election; and not
only must the spenders make sucn
sworn statement, but the receiver
also.
Mr.. Mayes thinks that such law
would almost automatically enforce
itself, as the man who spent the
roncy would hesitate long and Sc
riously before trying to evade the
law when he knew that the report of
the man who received the money
n.iyht make the spender liable to
conviction for misdemeanor; and the
same reasoning would also apply to
the receiver of money" This en-
IRENE position is entirely logical, for
it it is desirable in the interest o!
purity in elections to compel the can
d!datc to make a sworn public state
ment of his expenditures, obviously
it is equally desirable that all expen-
d;turcs to secure his election, no
natter by whom made. should he
sven the same kind of publicity.
We may come to this in time, but
as the chief difficulty of our day rs
the nOn-enfOrceme1 OF law, emo cur
hardest problem is how to secure such
enforcement, it is doubtful II this
proposed law is desirable now; for it
would be much Of ,ner violated than
Obeyed, and the benefits sought By it
would not be of character sufti-
GENTLY substantial and definite to
compensate the community for the
bad effect upon public morals of Il
statute sure to be broken oftener
than enforced.
People would resent such law as
an undue invasion of their private
rights and, feeling thus, it would be
likely to met the fate of all unpopu-
law laws. and not being held clearly
and vitality related TO tae well bein.
Of society would remain unenforced
upon the statute book dead let
ter.
Candidates cant escape the pub
licity law, because they ase known,
but very nearly all the others con-
templated by the plan of Editor
Mayes, could, if they wanted to, be-
cause they would not be known. And
might not the very element of num-
/ hers in such plan make it too cum
, berpuS to be practicable?

Nearly every paper in the State
has recently used an article in re.
eIence to newspapers in which Unit
Gu States Senator Davis" of Illinois
is quoted. We rise to inquire. when
was Davis United States senator
from Illinois Lake City Index.
The senator the Index refers to
was David Davis, who served LONG
term as justice of the United State;
Supreme Court by appointment O,
President Lincoln. and who. a COOL
many years after the civil war. re-
signed that position and was elected
to the United States Senate from H.

years ago, if our recollection is right
He was plain. old-fashioned, sturdy
man of great ability, and be went to

Whitelaw Reid. who died as Amer
lean ambassador to England the 9th
er day, was a notable instance of
what man with the right stuff in
HIM can accomplish in this country
He started in life without the ad-
yantages of wealth or high social STA
ton, and, like SO many other biz
Americans, his early training was in
Il country print shop. His own brains
and character made him the sue
oessor of Horace Greeley on the New
York Tribune, and while his mar
riage to the daughter of d. O. Mills
the California millionaire, helped his
social advancement and added To his
wealth, his success in politics and
diplomacy was due to his own abil-
Try, and he would have won high sta
ton regardless of his marriage Mr..
Reid was not great, but he was a
highly creditable specimen of Amer
Jean manhood and he was at all times
an honorable, kindhearted, courteous
gentleman.

Great Truths These.

The average man nearly always
manages to get caught in the ac.
when he has occasion to perform a
charitable deed.
Nothing is calculated to worry n
man more than to have his wife in
form him that he has been talking
In his sleep and then refuse to tell
him what he said.

One of his regrets Is that Hugh

the prize to the player who obtained
the greatest number of passes instead
of TO the player who was the most
valuable TO his team. Regret No.

regards bases on balls are not the
same as they were in 1887. Then

to the first base from the pitchers--a
record which held until this past sea-
son. when Eddie Collins equaled IT
and Bush surpassed 1t. All the passes
that Connie Mack's famous second

none is growing so rapidly. arousing
such general interest. and engaging
the attention Of so many people as the
school fair.
The first q these fairs was held in
Campbell county in the fall of 1908.
Since then the movement has grown
until this year nearly fifty counties are
holding these fairs either as separate
fairs or in conjunction with the regu-
lar county fairs Over $4,000 chill
dren have entered exhibits, the work
Of their own hands; over $4,000 chill
dren have marched in school fair
parades: between 5000 and 10000 PEG
pie have attended. and over $4,000
worth of prices has been awarded.
One of the largest and best of these
school fairs was the one recently held
In Loudoun, county. Among the in
terested attendants upon this fair was
DR.. Wicliffe Rose executive secre-
tary OF the Southern education board.
DR.. Rose has embodied his impressions
Of this fair in letter to Dr. Rob-
ert c. Ogden, of New York. and as
he was disinterested spectator we
will describe the fair by giving in full
his letter.
Or. Roses Letter.
My Dear MIR. Ogden:
went to T-eesDurs, virginia, last
Saturday to see the Loudoun county
school fair. The county school fair
has come to be an important feature
OF our rural school work this was
my first opportunity TO study 1t at first
la nd
I reached Leesburg about 10 o'clock
In the morning. and found the streets
a surging throng of school children,
their parents and friends from all
parts of the county. And they were
still coming in. coming in trolley in
school wagons. in large farm wagons
bedded with straw, or horseback in
automobiles and buggies. BY II O'Clock
| 1t was estimated that there We're more
people IN Leesburg than had ever been
drawn to that town by any attraction:
and they had come at the call of the
child.
At II o'clock I went to see the ex-
hibits. All exhibits were competitive
and were open to all the schools OF
the country. The printed catalogue OF
the school fair gives the schedule of
! exhibits that had been agreed upon
and published to the schools at the
! beginning of the school year: it gives
a definite score card for each exhibit
in the schedule and a list of the prizes
to be awarded. To illustrate the
scope OF activities stimulated by this
fair: In the Boys Corn club prize
list there were % prizes offered for
the largest yield per acre; fer 10
bushels or over per acre at least cost:
| for best 10 ears; for best ear: best
letter and report of the work. In
shop work prizes were offered for best
set Of mission book shelves; best axe
handle; best wooden sled; best set
garden tools; best bird house In the
arts Of the home, the girls competed
for prizes given for the best pound
OF butter: best cake: best loaf Of

versed the main streets OF the town.
The line was formed by schools. Each
. school had Its colors, its banners, It's
school songs and yells. You never
saw a finer display of youthful en-
thus asm and stirring school spirit on
an athletic field: II made me want
to be a school boy again.
The parade ended at the opera
house. where Governor Mann and
State Superintendent Eggleston talk
ed to the people In the interest OF
better roads. better schools, better
farming.
The day closed with the awarding
of the prizes from the courthouse
steTs, and n3 feature OF the fair i'm
pressed me more. There was brief
recital OF the educational work of
jefferson ana of Lee. ana these Two
sons of the Commonwealth were held
up before the assembled schools as
examples Of patriotism and devoted
citizenship. Then came the climax
OF the days display OF school spirit
with the awarding OF the tong list
of prizes. The name OF each winner
was greeted with an outbufst OF APP
plause by his friends and a rousing
yell by his school The infection
spread from group to group until
! thirty-fve hundred people were driwn
into the one final outburst Of enthu-
siasm.
at came away with the governor
and the state superintendent in the
late afternoon feeling that II had
been . good thing to see. These men
