A Stumbling Block.

Timidity is tho stumbling block
for any one who wishes to accom-
plish any real results. The timid
man always finds bis defeat stand
ing between himself and success.
In the presence Of strangers timi-
dity causes fear and bashfulness.
To 60 through life successfully
two honorable requisites are need
ed perseverance, and energy
and timidity outs the feet from
both. The timid man is always
too much taken up with himself,
his sensations, his feelings, his
judgments are always subordinate
to the opinion and tho fear Of
others.

| have never advised that this
amendment is unconstitutional. J
have frankly expressed my opinion
that it does not provide for the aboi'

of their duties BY the commissioners.

ONCE MORE UNTO THE
DUCKS, DEAR FRIENDS

There have been SO many conflict
ing statements in the State press
here of late on the vital question Of
shooting wild ducks that doubtless
many of the duck hunters are OBJ
fusticated on the subject and don
know where they are at" in the
matter. The State law Is clear
enough and definitely fixes the dates
Of the open season, but there Is a
new federal law on the subject de-
signed to prevent the determination
OF wild ducks by greedy hunters who
slay for the mere pleasure Of killing,
and it is current report that this law
prohibits absolutely the killing of
wild ducks at any time in any State.
Such law would of course take
precedence of any State statute on
the subject, for CONGRESS is para
mount and what Uncle Sam SAYS
goes in every State and county of
America. But there is no such alb
solute prohibition, and for this state
ment we have the GOOD authority Of
Con"ressman Wilson, Of the Third
district Who lives out this informa-
ton to the Ncoplc OF Florida throuch
the Pensacola Jourpal Of recent date:
II also have had numcro0s in !
quirios regarding an act Of CONGRESS |
passed during the Sixty second Con- |
gress, REGARDING the killing of mi !
gratory birds, This act will be
found in the United States statutes
at LARGE, volume 81, chapter AS,
page S47 The act of CONGRESS pro-
hibits the killing of MIGRATORY birds,
that is to say wild duck, geese, etc,
except under certain regulations pro-
mulgated by the department of agri-
culture. Pursuant to this act Of !
Congress the secretary of agricul-
ture has promulgated rules and reg
ulations which permit the killing of
migratory birds in the State Of Flor
Ida from Nov. 20 to Feb. 16. In
Alabama the open season in which
they may be killed is from Nov.
to Feb. l. For the information of
all persons concerned | would state
that they may hunt geese and ducks
in the State of Florida between Nov.
20 and Feb. Is. 1t must be under
stood, however, that this federal law
In nowise changes the State law with
regard to the hunting season.
1t will therefore be seen that hunt |
ers who observe the State law in ref
erence to shooting this class OF birds
will not be violating the federal law
in this instance, as the open season
under the State law does not begin
until Nov. 90.

Members Of Congressional Advisory
Board Are Dined BY Senator
Cummips,

The members OF the Congressional Ad-
visory Board were the guests OF Senator
Albert B. Cummins OF Iowa at dinner
last night at the University Club, at
which arrangements were made to expe-
dite the coming session Of the Repub-
lican National Committee.
Some time ago 1t was agreed that the
committee should meet sixty days after
the adjournment Of the present session
of Congress, but the session Is continuing
longer than at the time was anticipa ted,
and 1t has been suggested to fix a new
date for the meeting. At the dinner last
night it was decided to use every effort
to bring about a speedy session Of the
committee, so that the work that lies
before 1t may not be delayed further.
Those present were Senator Cummins,
Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman of Illinois.
Senator Wesley L. Jones Of Washington.
Senator Coe !. Crawford of South Da-
kota, Representative Sydney Anderson
OF Minnesota, Representative John ].
Rogers of Massachusetts,. and Repre-
sentative Louis c. Cramton of Michigan.
Former Gov. Hadley of Missouri was in
vited to attend the dinner. but was un-
able to be present.

President Wilson's decision to util-

in his endeavor to bring Mexico to a
realization of the cruel, if not GRIM

of present disorders and lawlessness
there gives a hopeful touch of restraint

sett cr are the peoples of the world now

evitable, as irresistible, as in a state
kor village.
Mr.. Wilson, apparently strong in the
knowledge that his overtures to Gen.
Huerta are made with honorable, IN

people of Mexico, stands forth and
with clean hands beckons, not only his

fore the world on Monday, when he
will address Congress, the facts upon
which he has formed his judgment. II
his judgment is approved, Mr.. John

Senator Jones' "Acropolis." "

1t should be of interest to all Wash
ingtonians to learn why Senator Jones
of Washington proposes to have the
planned public park between the Cap
itol and the Union Station, named the
"Acropolis."
To begin with, why is the English
tongue-our native language-to be
sighted? Why should the section closest
to the American Capitol be known
by Greek appellation? Highest" or
Upper city-the meaning of the word
Acropolis-might fit in literally, but
not the definition of the term as used
by the ancient Greeks themselves
which was this: "The citadel of city
On an eminence commanding the sur
rounding country"
Senator Jones, it must be admitted
is logical when he suggests that sec
ton of the park should be known as
the "Parthenon," and that memorial:
shall be erected there. For thus Il
was the custom in ancient Hellas. The
Acropolis boasted of a Parthenon
with its temple of Athene Partheno'
(the Virgin), and in broader sens
