ASTON Is NOT SO
FOOLISH AFTER ALL

4 dispatch to the Times-U Union from
Tampa says. Sore to the core, c. H.
Aston, the negro delegate who was
thrown out of the bull moose gather
ing at Chicago. has returned to this
city and says that he will induce the
people of his race to come out for Will
son. Aston does not like the way the
moose herdsmen treated him in Chica-
go and makes no bones of saying SO
in strong terms.
As he was one of Roosevelt's con-
testing delegates from this state to the
republican convention in June, Aston
naturally thought he would be well
treated at the bull moose gathering.
Naturally he did not expect to be
thrown out on the cold, cold world as
he was.
Taft emissaries came with him as
far as Atlanta, he declares, urging
him 10 come out for Taft. but he turned
them down, so he states. When he
reached home he was met by band
and an automobile and taken TO a ne
gro hall where he told several hum
dred people OF his race all about the
convention. There was much enthus-
iasm for Wilson and Aston has called
meeting of county chairman and
others of his party for Tuesday and
will endeavor to get them to lump
their votes in body for Wilson.
Wilson has never treated the negro
wrongfully," said Aston.
He IS urging the people Of his race
to pay their poll taxes and be in posi-
ton to vote this fall if possible that
they may make their influence felt on
which ever side Of the scale they con-
clude to cast IL.

PUBLIC SCHOOL PRIVILEGES

Four fine buildings are being erect
ed on the campus Of the University of
Florida, which viii add greatly TO the
facilities Of the institution. This state
has much to be proud Of in her state
university, and our boys should be
taught to consider a course there the
best aim of their educational life
Fort Meade Leader
And out of the 100000 boys and girls
in Florida, 200 TO 800 will be able to
benefit by these handsome buildings
We as people run riot in our ideas.
Perhaps half of Florida's boys and
girls 90 to school in little board school
houses, with no stoves, with one or at
the most two poorly paid girl teach
ers; and the while the state is spend
ing a hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars erecting college buildings that
not one-ffth of one per cent of the
boys and girls of Florida will ever
see. Wouldn't it be better TO take this
money and improve the common
schools Of the state? Wouldn't the
money do more good to the boys and
girls-the future men and women of
FIorida-if spent in this manner? The
state should see that every boy and
girl is afforded the chance of a COM
mon school education; Ihe state mas no
moral right to deprive the boys and
girls of Florida Of common educational
advantages and use the tax money for
the making Of lawyers and doctors and
other professions. Business schools
are run as private institutions. Why
should not professional schools be run
the same way?-DeLand News.
The Star thinks the News is mistak-
en- about there being 100000 boys and
girls of school age in Florida. 1t ism
likely there are half many Other
wise, its argument is sound.

ANNOYED BY COOKS FRANKS
Bertha Heida Sent Washing Machine
to One Doctor and Three Lemons
to Another.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Heida, aged SO,
a cook who has been employed by
prominent families in Clifton, Avon
dale and Walnut Hills, fashionable SUBJ
urbs, was committed to Long View
insane asylum.
She was taken into the probate
court on the affidavit of DR.. Frank
Perry and Lieutenant Kent, Of the
Norwood police department. DR..
Perry, Lieutenant Kent and Dr. Thorn
as P Dickson Of Norwood, testified
she had been annoying them with let.
tiers and telephone calls. DR.. Dickson
said he performed a minor operation
on her four years ago, and that since
that time she has been telephoning to
him five to twenty-five times a day.
He also testified she sent a GENE
terry monument maker to his Office,
and that she sent him q washing ma
chine and large orders of groceries.
He also charges that she threw a cof-
fee cake at him when she met him
on the street a few days ago.
DR.. Perry testified that she sent
him three lemons by mail, called him
up frequently, impersonating his pa
tents, and sent him late at night to
far address by telling him a child
was dying. She appeared rational in
court, and insisted that the witnesses
against her be made to testify in her
presence.

changing into public wrath; today, or
perhaps tomorrow, for those who seek
a slight reproach to fairness upon this
earth. Well, we were mistaken. Bus
mess, apparently, in the main, ap-
proves Of Wilson. Why? We believe
business has reached two very sensi-
BILE conclusions. 1t has decided that
work should and must go on, regard
less Of legislation, and times have been
improving right through the political
fury Of recent months. II has decided
also that readjustment Of our legal,
social and Industrial situation, to meet
our ideas Of Justice, is inevitable and
might as well be helped. Business men
since the war have in the main been
preoccupied with money making. They
have been, on the whole, the ablest
Americans; and their ability is now
apparently to be more broadly used
they are going to continue to make
money, while al the same time helping
US to give stability to our civllizatio
by giving justice to it.

TRIBUTE TO HER HOME TOWN

The following concerning Mrs. \. 3.
Weaver appears in the Miami Metro
polls Mrs. Weaver lived her girlhood
days in Ocala, and her friends here are
proud Of the exalted position she holds
in the society Of the Magic City.
m original poem by Mrs. A. B.
Weaver is given below. Mrs. Weaver
lis a clever original poet Of Miami and
through her productions has done
much for the city and lis growth. Be
ing booster Of the purest type. her
verses are widely read and the follow
ing lines published al such a time will
catch the eye of many visitors and i'm
press them more and more with Mi
amIs beauties:
BY the sparkling, dancing waters,
Kissed by the sun-eod's brightest
ray,
Lies Miami. fair Miami
BY the shore of Biscayne Bay;
And they bid me tell the story,
OF her bright and magic past,
And sing a song of prosperity
Which they told me would not last.
How from a tangled mass of wildwood,
OF palmetto. oak, and pine
There has arisen a city of grandeur,
Like almost TO the sublime.
Then the scaly alligator,
Blinked his eye in sweetest rest,
But the iron hand of progress
Has disturbed his hidden nest.
And the stately. graceful palm trees.
Tell a different story clear
And the loud pulse-beat of traffic
Falls upon the summer air.
And the life. and strife. and laughter
OF a city form their part.
And when tourists from the northland.
See the dull and leaden sky,
Feel the icy blasts Of winter,
Back they come to Miami:
Oh, we may tell OF other cities,
Aud full many we nave known,
But our pride is in Miami
For Miami is our home.

Newspaper men in Florida may well
emulate Editor Benjamin, of the Ocala
Star. He has an idea that a newspa-
per should be fair in all things and
never attempt TO miscOnstrue another 5
opinions.-PensacOla Journal
Thanks for the compliment; we will
try to live up to it. Carrying on an
argument is like playing a game, and
there is no satisfaction to an honora-
BILE man unless he plays fair and
sticks to the rules. Saying that your
opponent has said something he hasn't
said, or putting on his words an in
ference they do not call for, is like
stacking the cards or breaking the
rules. To a real sport, there is no
satisfaction in winning a game or an
argument by unfair means.

iron is carburized and converted into
steel on heating in charcoal powder,

The above head doesn't mean so

WILSON FOR LOCAL OPTION

Governor Woodrow Wilson has in
directly taken a hand in the political
situation in Maine where the guberna-
torial election in September is expect
ed to reveal the trend Of strength Of
the three presidential candidates. In
response to numerous letters from
democratic leaders in Maine asking
Governor Wilson for his attitude on
the liquor question, which is a prom
inent issue in the gubernatOrial cam
paign, the democratic presidential
nominee has declared in favor of local
option and against having the ques-
ton made an issue between political
parties.

A number of the state papers have
announced their intention to discon-
tinue the use of the title of Mr." as
prefixed to the name of a white citi-
zen. The Star will continue to use it;
it is a courtesy that every respectable
man is entitled to. If the newspapers
would cut out their ridiculous habit
of prefiXing the inappropriate title of
Honorable to every attorney who has
held a small office, a title that only
the president of the United States has
a legitimate claim to, they would show
more consistency and less toadyism.

Nebraska democrats, in conventio

Nebraska democrats, in convention
assembled, have indOrsed the course of
Mr.. Bryan at the Baltimore convention.
Mr.. Bryan was a delegate from Nebras-
ka and instructed for Clark. For what
he believed good and sufficient rea-
sons, he changed his vote to Wilson,
for doing which he has been roundly
abused by many democratic papers.
Since the people who sent him to the
convention have approved of his ac-
ton, it will now be in order for his
democratic assailants to turn their
guns on the republicans.
