Mayor Harrison voiced the senti.
ment Of the people Of Chicago on the
awful street car service.
In his annual message to the city
council the mayor denounced condi.
lions - uncomfortable, insanitary,
and immoral"
He charged that the city's over.
crowded cars are IAN offense against
decency, q danger to health, and an
affront to the intelligence Of good cit
izenship."
This Indictment" he said, "lles
against both surface and elevated
lines. The almost staggering total Of
the city's share Of the net receipts Of
the surface lines for 1912--$2,529, 033-
considered in connection with the con.
ditions which thousands of patrons
are daily forced to endure, affords con.
vincing proof that health, comfort,
and even decency itself are sacrificed
to the Unsuitable rapacity Of the cash
drawer.
There should be some recognition
of the rights of the public, there
should be little common sense, a
touch Of generosity and bit of hui
man feeling, II you will, on the part
Of the corporation managers"
Speaking Of home rule in utilities
Mayor Harrison said In his message:
ut seems strange that in this day
question should be raised in any quar-.
ter Of the right Of this great city to
demand the exclusive Jurisdiction over
its local affairs. The public utilities
Of Chicago live by virtue Of the power
given them by the city; from the
vigor, the energy, the prosperity, the
activity Of our people they draw their
very LIES blood. The city deals fairly
with them. II It failed to do so the
courts would compel fair treatment.

pointing editors to office as kind of
student Of democracy under the great
teachers that we have named.
But in the past, as now, the press
has always been regarded in high es-
TEEN as an agent in the spread of
poular government among the people.
We cannot refrain, in this connec-
ton, from making a quotation from
an address delivered in the whig con-
vention as early as 1882 by Daniel
Webster. That great statesman said:
I'm all popular governments, free
press is the most important of all
agents and instruments. 1t not only
expresses public opinion, but to a
very great degree it contributes to
for mthat opinion. 1t is an engine, for
good or for evil, as it may be direct
ed; but an engine which nothing can
resist. The conductors of the press,
in popular governments, occupy a
place in the social and political sys-
tenn of the very highest consequence.
They wear the character of public in
structors. Their daily labors bear
directly on the intelligence, the NOR
ais, the taste and the public spirit of
the country. Not only are they jour
nalists, recording political occurrence
es, but they discuss principles, they
comment on measures. they canvass
characters; they hold a power over
the reputation, the feelings, the hap
piness of individuals. The public ear
is always open to their addresses, the
public sympathy easily made respon-
sive to their sentiments. 1t is, sir, a
distinction of high honor, that theirs
is the only profession expressly pro-
tected and guarded by constitutional
enactments. Their employment scars
SO high, in its general consequences,
it is so intimately connected with the
public happiness that it's security is
provided for by the fundamental law
while it acts in manner worthy
of this distinction, the press is a
fountain of light and a source of glad
dening warmth. 1t instructs the pub
lie mind and animates the spirit of pa
triotism. It's loud voice suppresses
every thing which would raise itself
against the public liberty; and its
blasting rebuke causes incipient des-
potism to perish in the bud"

MARION coUNTYs OPPORTUNITY

In an advertisement by the Sea-
board Air Line Railway in the BaIti-
more Manufactures Record, we note
the following:
Marion is the most central of the
AZ counties of Florida, and has:
Approximate land area, 1,054,0S0
acres; land in farms, 21S,551 acres;
population, 26,941. Ranking seventh
in area and sixth in population.
Number of cattle. 35,O15; number o.
sheep, 1884
The improvement of cattle herds
and the betterment of this line of in
dustry has been very marked in the
county, as is attested by the ilTustra-
lions.
The soils produce abundantly,, and
many are underlaid with lime, a soil
element necessary to successful cuIti-
walton of alfalfa. The western states
drain millions of dollars from Florida
annually for butter, and the dairymen
of that section can only count a short
grazing season, while the opportunity
in Marion is buttressed by a ten
months grazing season, and a home
market for product in continuous
demand. Marion steadily increases
the area of improved farms, and moth
ing so quickly brings about this result
as increased cattle production
Among the states Florida ranks 25th
in land area, and wisconsin is oath.
However. the latter contains nearly
three million head of cattle and a mil
consin takes many thousands of dol
lars out of Florida annually for but
ter. Marion county is one of the most
favorably located for the development
of the cattle industry. The dairying
industry would enrich Marion's farms
as nothing else will, and attract many
to make homes on her pleasant rolling
acres.
A cooperative creamery in the CEN
ter of the county would enthuse farm
ers and invite the extension of cattle
raising. Other lines of manufacture
ing have proven successful in Marion.
and it's reasonable to assume that to
manufacture a product from the farms
would be equally. as successful, and
attract new capital to make invest
ments in Marion.

TEMPTATION

For having the "open saloon" in our
midst its advocates use as one of their
strongest illustrations the picture OF
the garden of Eden and the tree of
the knowledge of good and evil
which was placed in the midst of it,
the fruit of which our first parents
were forbidden to eat.
The argument is that the Creator
put temptation in our way to test our
strength of character and make us a
stronger and more stalwart race by
coming in contact with it, yet resist
ing it and triumphing over it.
There is no question about the
truth of the proposition that we be-
come stronger the more we can resist
temptation and triumph over evil,
yet the weakest thing in the whole
range Of creation is human nature.
This was shown by the incident I'M
der consideration. Here every fruit
that was delicious to the taste and ey-
cry flower that was pleasing to the
eye were spread out before our first
parents in prodigal profusion, and
they were given full possession over
all but one of the many fruits, and
yet surfeited as they were they could
not resist the temptation to eat of
that one of which they were forbidden
to eat.
They were told of the consequence
which would follow, yet despite which
they could not summon strength of
character enough to resist the tempta-
tion of SHINING, and were compelled
to suffer the penalty which sin always
imposes.
Adam and Eve were driven from
their beautiful Surroundings out into
the wilderness of struggle and hard
ship, and the same weakness which
caused their downfall is still in evil
dence in our frail natures, and torture
us in the same way.
At later period Judas fell and Pc
ter made denial Abraham equivocat-
ed and David fell at the sight of Bath
sheba.
All through the pages of sacred
scripture human nature is depicted as
weak and frail, and few characters, in
deed, have been strong enough not to
yield to temptation. This weakness
of the flesh" has been conspicuous
throughout the ages, hence the pray
er is:
Lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from evil"
