not stand what our boys have to endure.
TT Is not necessary to speak Of their
not being able to go to places where
messages have to 20. We keep our boys
as far from doubtful places as we can,
hut there are many messages that girls
could not carry.
so far as our patrons are concerned.
think they would be very well salts
fed with girl messengers. II we EN-
p.oyed girls at such work they would.
OF course, have to wear a uniform Of
some kind to distinguish them. and their
di ess would relieve them of much en-
barrassment they might feel at having to
go into mems private Offices. But the
patrons would not be embarrassed, and
I think they would feel quite as trust
ful toward girl messengers as toward
boys.
Altogether, a girl messenger service
would be very picturesque. but I'd hate
to have to run one. / have had some
trouble with boys. but l do not think
I'd know how to start with girls. for I
should feel at the beginning that was
attempting the impossible"
Just then one Of the swift-footed Mer-
curies came running up to the scene Of
the interview He gave a yellow slip
tc the interviewed, who said:
Didn't I tell you SO? Our Pittsburg
manager says. in answer to my note.

SAYS PARTY HAD
DIVINE ORIGIN
Senator Ellison D. Smith, in Speech
Before Women, Declares Christ
Was First Democrat.
ALSO DwEIIs ON THE FASHIONS

Jesus Christ was the founder Of the
Democratic party" said Senator Ellison
d. Smith Of South Carolina in an address
before the women's National Democratic
League last night, In the Southern Build
ing.
A muffled "Ohw was audible among the
fair politicians as the Senator continued:
Jesus first propagated Democratic prin-
ciples among mankind. He who was born
in a manger is commemorated by church
spires in every land. while the great en-
peror of that time. who ruled over all the
then civilized world. an epitome Of special
privilege, has but one monument, the
name of the month In which we are now
living"
That the thirst for political resenera-
ton has inspired the women of our coun-
try to enter INTO our fight Is the most
convincing feature of our campaign"
He said that It was right and proper
that the women should identify them
selves with the campaign. which was
waged primarily in the interests Of the
homes. g..
THE knowledge that the good women
of the country are giving their best eff
forts to help us win the battle of the
home will be our inspiration" Senator
Smith continued. Don't go out cam
paigning with an apologetic air and say
you want something, but be strong in
the faith Of your ideals, and see that
you win that for which you strive.
THE power you may exert can be Of
immense benefit to the party. When the
women OF a nation arise to help us in
the work OF purifying politics. / am
sure they will do II in women's way
which is not by halves"
The Senator also touched upon the sub
iect of fashiOn He said that he hoped
time would come when the American
woman would cease to look to the Old
World for her inspirations Of styles and
customs. He deplored the fascination
which Paris Is reputed to exert upon the
American woman ambitious to be chic" I"
Kyle B. Price, also spoke on the best
means for organization. He told the
women that by September / they should
have more than 1000 members in the Dis
trIct branch of their society.
Don't be afraid Of your work." said
Mr.. Price. IF you are government
clerks, remember that you draw your
salaries from the people as well as the
Chief Executive. Don't be afraid of the
ak, but join together and twelve months
from now, should the freedom of working
for your ideals lose you your positions.
there will be such n carnage in govern
ment service as never before
DR.. Clarence J. Owen, managing direc-
tor of the Southern Commercial Congress.
addressed the gathering upon the work
which the party hoped to accomplish for
classes.
At the close of the meeting Miss Dab
ney, founder of the league announced
that an al fresco rendition of an act from
las You Like It. would be given the
night of August 2.

STATE DEPARTMENT
LOSING PATIENCE
Delay in Handling Case Of "Kid
Mccoy" May Result in an
Investigation.

The State Department is beginning to
lose patience with the delay in the ham
ding Of the case against kid Mccoy"
In London. While none Of the oficials
would discuss the exact nature of the
departments interest In the case, II be-
came known that the American authori-
ties feel that there Is undue delay on
the part OF the Belgian authorities in
presenting evidence against the former
prize fighter. II they have any, and II
they haven't. there Is no just reason why
he should be SO long detained In custody.
1t has been nearly three weeks since
Mccoy was arrested upon his arrival In
London from Ostend. on a charge Of lar
ceny committed at the latter place When
week or SO had elapsed and there had
been no progress in the case. Mccoy, II
develops. appealed TO the American EN-
bassy m London. One Of the secretaries
Is reported to have investigated his case
and a report was made to the State De-
partment.
Whether any representations were
made to the State Department direct is
not known. but Mr.. Adee. then acting
secretary. directed the Embassy to have
a secretary present at the hearing on ex-
tradition proceedings. IL the Belgian
government continues the delay in pre-
senting evidence sufficient for Great Brit
ain to grant extradition, II is likely that
the State Department will direct its min
listers at Brussels to inquire Informally
into the matter.

amendment. Many will vote mo, :
because they think another person
will be appointed, and others will
vote mo-" because they think the
judge should be elected and not ap-
pointed, and others because they
think the amendment should be made
by the legislature. The result may be
the defeat of the amendment, although
a large majority of the voters may
favor the establishment of a munic-
ipal court.
An informal preference ballot would
determine whether the majority deslr-

The Proposed Charter Changes

Editor Daily News: see the coun-
Gil has ordered an informal ballot,
Jan. 7th, as to whether the voters
want a government by commission. It
seems to me that it would be better
to have the same sort of ballot as to
the other proposed changes in our
charter, and then let the legislature
make the changes favored.
The charter which is to be amend
ed is an act of the legislature and
one of the laws of Florida, and it is
not customary to have a state law
amended by city council. The judge
of the supreme court, if the matter
comes before them, may be surpris-
ed to learn that there is a law in the
state of Florida which is not to be
found in any of the books or archives
of the state. And when they send 10
Daytona and ascertain that the "Mu-
nicipaI Court of the City Of Dayto-
ma" has been created by city ordi-
nance, and that all the judicial pow
ers which the various legislatures
have granted to mayors of incorpo-
rated towns and cities in this state
have been taken from the mayor Of
Daytona. they will turn to section 35,
article V, of the constitution of the
state of Florida, and read: No
courts other than those herein speci-
fled shall be established in this
state
am not a Florida lawyer and may
be all wrong in my views, but it is
better to discuss the matter before
rather than after the vote is taken.
If there is enough uncertainty about
the legality of these changes to JUS
tify any litigant in carrying the mat
ter to the supreme court, it would be
better to allow the legislature to
make the changes. The expenses of
the litigation to sustain their validity
would more than counterbalance the
advantages of the few weeks gain in
time of putting the changes in OPP
Grafton. If the decision should be
against the city it might have the
additional expense of many suits for
damages for false arrest and impris.
onment and illegal sale of impound,
ed animals.
AS our municipal judge" is to
be appointed for life and is to be
appointed before the election of a
successor to our present mayor, why
should not voters be given the name
of the proposed appointee? Why was
not the appointment left to the next
mayor? If the name is concealed, it
must be because those who know 1t
believe its disclosure would cause one
or more votes to be cast against the

OLD GAME IS WORKED AGAIN
Confidence Men In Paris Substituted
a String of Imitation Pearls for
Good Ones.

Paris dealer In precious stones,
NJ. Lagnel. was the victim OF an au.
dacious theft perpetrated by means OF
the time honored confidence trick. A
few weeks ago M. Lagnel made the
acquaintance Of a young man who
called himself Sognier. He was anx-
ious to act as agent for NJ. Lagnel.
and declared that he would be able to
introduce wealthy clients.
few days ago Sognier introduced
to NJ. Lagnel a wealthy friend" of
his, whom he called NJ Cheyalier Of
Clermont-Ferrand, who desired to buy
a pearl necklace for his wife. The two
men called at NJ. Lagnel's office in the
Rue du Temple, and NJ Chevalier se-
lected a necklace valued at $4,000
When about to pay he found that he
had left his purse at his hotel In or
der to be sure that the necklace would
not be exchanged for another while he
was absent in search of the money,
Chevalier asked if it could be placed
in sealed envelope This was done,
and Chevaler and his friend disap
peared
As they failed TO return, the jeweIer
made inquiries. but could find no trace
of them. He then opened the sealed
envelope and fond it contained imita
tion pearls worth but a few francs
