Sometimes They Get
What Is Coming.

noying but often Fate metes out a Just
retribution and these people. in the
vulgar parlance of the street, get
what's comm to EN-" Two occur
rences Of this kind happened last
week.
For year or more, Mrs. Martin
Littleton, wife of the brilliant New
York congressman. late of Texas and
originally from Tennessee. has been
making life miserable for all who
would listen TO her. with her efforts
to get congress to appropriate money
to buy Monticello. the home of Thomas
Jefferson, in Albemarle county, Vir-
ginia- Congress has refused to con-
slider the proposition.
Now, it seems that Monticello be-
longs to Mr.. JEFFERSON Levy, of New
York, a wealthy gentleman Of Vir-
gtnian ancestry and a connection of
the Jefferson family. Mr.. Levy, who
is a member of congress and has been
for years. says Monticello is not fos
sale and win not be, He says that
under no consideration win he part
with the estate. He also says that the
Jefferson home and the relics it con-
tains are in splendid repair. He COM
plains that it takes fairly all his time
to cfrcumvent Mrs. Littleton's efforts
to force him to sell his home.
The school board Of the beautiful
and historic little city of Frederick,
Maryland, has refused to set aside a
Barbara Frietchie'' day. A Barbara
Frietchie society has been organized
getting its inspiration from whittier's
mythical poem of that name and this
society has been trying to force all
the schools all over the country to
have Barbara Frietchie day and con-
tribute money to erect memorial In

is helping to puncture the myth by re-

Alliance Between
Roosevelt and Lorimer.

After Roosevelt declined to eat al
the same table with William Lortmer
unfrocked senator from Illinois, and
after he boldly declared that he was
the cause Of that worthy's expulsion
from the senate, it seems difficult to
believe that the Bull Moosers and the
Lorimer people In Illinois have con-
tracted an unholy alliance for often
sive and defensive purposes.
This is a grave and startling accu-
sation and yet it is made by the Chi
cago Tribune, the newspaper that
caused the Lorimer investigation and
a paper that is still supporting the
Bull Moose for president. The Tri-
bune says:
That such an alliance is being
formed or aimed at, seems beyond
doubt. The motive of the Republicans
who followed the leadership of VIII
liam Lorimer is revenge on the or
ganization which threw them out. The
motive Of the progressives who would
accept their aid is gain. The asso-
citation is not hallowed."
1t is a safe bet that the editors OF
the Chicago Tribune know more about
the political character Of Theodore
Roosevelt than they did a few years
ago.

Among the latest distracting infiu-

Whether of Pagan or Indian origin,
it serves to domesticate the ticks, red
bugs, spiders, snakes and woods-rats;
and since "idleness is the parent of
restlessness and crime, just as well get
the insects busy. The joy of useful

back"
The above is the sample Of the train
ing that some future wives are getting.
Don't imagine that all boys are ready
to marry when they reach the polly
wog stage. They simply chirp and
make peculiar noises because they
help it. When they finally become re-
sponsible and self sustaining, they
should be allowed to seek the girl and
do the counting. Even playing hands
in the genie shadows does not signify
anything.
Little old late hour parties and kiss
ing games do not always belong to the
exclusive maids Of hope, and the boy
with horse sense knows it. The fact
that you might take midnight joy-rides
''to the uttermost ends of the earth
with a boy, does not increase his con-
fidence in you. It teaches you how to
feel very much under obligations to
him. and he is not blind.
For the guy who is simply out for
"a good time at the expense Of char
acter and cash." any old giddy girl is
good enough" Any wild. funny lassie
can be popular. The man who is ready
to marry wants the sweet. refined, do
nestle girl, who knows how to love
one man; and who can do and enjoy
the duties of home first.
Girls don't fool the boys. If you do
you stand a mighty good chance to be
fooled yourselves. If boys must work,
girls ought to know how.

Why Was Democratic
Candidate Idea Abandoned?

The chief Bull Moose himself gave
It out with great gusto that the can
dldate for vice president on the third
party ticket would be Democrat from
the South.
Why was that idea abandoned?
There is no doubt that it was the in
tention to name Democrat and make
the ticket appeal to Democrats all over
the country.
The nomination of Governor Hiram
Johnson is confession and It's the
truth that neither In the North nor
the South. the East nor the West.
could a Democrat of suflcient promi-
nence be found who would ally HIM
self with the political fortunes Of the
Moose.
It would have made no imprt ssion
on the people to have named SUCH an
obscure Democrat as Mr.. Parker of
New Orleans or that nominal Demo
crat, Judge Lindsey OF Denver.
All Of this goes to show that no
Democrats Of any note are within the
third party's ranks and It is very un-
likely that It win get any considerable
support from Democratic sources.
Besides being an effort to glorify one
man the movement is only revolt
against Republicanism.

THINKS GIRLS MEDIA
WORD OF WARNING

Editor Pensacola Journal.
Of late the writer has noted many
indications from authorities on what
boys should do; what men should do
and what husbands should do; now
they should all get back to nature and
do the real fundamental straight and
upright activities and benefits of life
here and now, and how they should do
the needful and helpful things of even
busy domestic world; and turn the
classics, nighthawks. tops and useless
stupfdities over to the Gods and
women for profound solution.
1t Is with feeling that the girls too
need a word that I write. Home,
sweet home" should never be forgotten
by the girls. All good boys and men
viii agree with me. Even men who
are wildly romantic and extravagant
in their views agree that home under
the happy, wholesome and benificent
influences Of mamma and papa is the
proper place for girls and women,
most of the time. Those who are best
acquainted admit that the spirit of
boundless freedom, wreckless dissipa-
ton, endless sport, frolic and dis
tracted giddiness finds too much en-
couragement in Pensacola. 1t would
be difficult to find a city, which is bet
ter fitted for, and given over to all
kinds of sports all the time, more
than Pensacola. Even If this were not
so and Pensacola were not already
giddy in frolic at the expense of
worthy and Industrious life and train
ing, would it be necessary to employ
instructors to take the children away
from home and teach them how to
play.
1t seems to me that nearly all the
cards, streets, vacant squares, beaches,
parks, play houses, pavilions, bayous,
surfs, woods and ponds are already

that he recorded in few days over
his phone. Not that mean to defend
the central girls" especially, but this
| must say: on the street if a man
meets a respectable woman he usually
raises his hat and treats her as lady,
over the phone he will jerk the lever
until he nearly pulls her head off and
half the time use such language as
he would never be caught using in a
lady's presence.
1t seems to me that a lady should
be treated as lady at all times, and
not publicly criticised by any man in
such a manner as the central girls
have been very recently. We make as
many mistakes as central does, and
I suppose 1t is very annoying to her
sometimes to have to contend with
some of the things she does. Further
more, / should like to state it seems
to me a doctors time would he too
valuable to waste recording errors
made by others, and that any man
with gentlemanly instincts in his heart
would refrain, hereafter, from public
criticism of women
