So far pastor Bll' Russell, OF
Palalka, and Senator Johnson, of
Live Oak, are the only members OF
the last legislature who have ventur-
ed TO say that the congressional re-
diStricting bill is all TighL-PenSaco-
la Evening News.
Yes, there are others, and there are
some able men in the State who were
fortunate in not being members OF the
legislature who say the law is all right.
'Frnstance, there is Judge Chas. B.
Parkhill OF Tampa, former member of
the Florida Supreme Court, who say
the law is all right, BUT his opinion is
that each congressman will be forced 10
run in 1914 from his old district al d
L'Engle from the State al large, on the
ground that they cannot run for an Of
flee that does not exist and will not ex-
ist until March 4lh, 1915" On the
other hand Attorney Robert H. Ander.
son of Pensacola, who is something of
lawyer himself says that the "Florida
rediStriCting act will be effective for
next years Congressional elections, and
the candidates for Congress must run
from the four districts as provided in
the act on the ground (2) that if they
are not elected from these new districts
and if the present districts cease 10 exist
n No Of hn Mt {
greSSional term March 4, 1915, a Con
gresham elected from an old or present
district would, when he went 10 take
his seat March 4, 1915, find himself in
the peculiar position of having been
elected to a position which did not eX.
ist." And there you have it. 1t is six
OF one view and only an even halt doz-
en- of the other-a case where you pay
your money and take your choice.
What the Palatka News contends is,
that the Legislature meant Just what ii
said, i. G., that This act shall take eff
feet at the expiration of the present
terms of office of The Congressman now
serving from this State" The Iegisla-
ture had 10 fix upon some time for Il e
law TO become operative-for the Iega {.
cation of the new districts, and it fixed
upon March 18th, 1915, the date of the
expiration OF the present congressional
terms. Had'it fixed upon some other
time it would have been open TO the
same criticism as now, except that the
p ,sition of those crticising would have
been reversed, The law is all right,
but perhaps ii needs a judicial decision
to determine which of these eminent
lawyers is right and which is up tree.
The trouble is not with the legislature,
but with the lawyers.

Motion Pictures and Music.

Bowling.

times, its origin being traceable to the
twelfth century. 1t was held in such
disfavor for years that laws were en-
acted against it. and it was an lille,
gal pursuit. Alleys were built, how
ever. as it could not be played out of
doors during the winter, and the game
flourished in spite Of opposition. In
the beginning of the eighteenth cen.
fury green's began to increase, while
the alleys were vigorously and abso,

royal game, and no gentleman's place

NEW SCHOOL
BUILDING NEEDED.

Palatka is in just as much need OF a
new school house as il was before the
recent election, rendered null and void
by technical error, as our progressive
citizens soon learned 10 their regret Ii
il useless TO threSh over old straw and
hold post mortemS. The thing TO do is
to try again and the sooner the better.
Palatka is doing everything il can in
an honorable way to present its advant-
ages to the world and attract new peo-
pie. Among the first questions usually
asked by prospective homeSeekerS and
investors is "What kind of schools have
your" We can trulhfully tell them We
have a curriculum equal 10 any in
Florida, but we cannot boast OF how the
children are housed. While the house
is not what we would like it TO be, and
better should be provided, yet the
course of study is OF the best, and the
teachers have special fitness for their
work, and our city can be congratulated
in that respect.
The present building is not credit TO
Palatka, and most unfavorably impresses
every visitor and home. seeker. Most of
our new corners are from states where
schools are of high efficiency and al
tendance is compulsory, and buildings
and all accessories of the best.
Are we going 10 sit still for another
year and allow the building to become
more weather worn and decrepitl
In the meantime visitors and investors
will come, look around, hold up their
hands when they see our school house,
and 90 10 other localities 10 make
homes, and spend their energy and
money. Every new citizen who buys a
lot and builds home here, adds some.
thing 10 the value of every Bit of prop.
erty in the city.
This school problem is serious ore
and must be quickly solved. The com.
ing winter will see more visitors in
Florida than ever before, everything
points TO that fact.
There are many things in our town 10
which we can point with pride, but the
public school building is not one Of
them, and that is vital matter 10 new
corners.
Let US get busy and show visitors that
we are going TO have not only a new
school building, but new post office,
At least let US show that appropriations
for these important improvements have
been made, and that the new structure
will be models of the latest and best in
all the land-on par with other things
in our city so admired by Strangers-but
commonplace TO most old residents
many OF whom do not fully appreciate
our natural and artificial advantages.
The States first duty is self.preserva
ton, that means the educating and pre-
serving of children, since children are

No Title PAGE In Early Books.

The idea of d title page did not oc-
cur to the early printers. THE BOOKS
started straight off with 'lncipit or
Here begimnpth.' without authors or
publishers name. This causes much
difficulty in attributing earlier works
to the proper sources The idea Of a
title page with names seems first to
have occurred to a Cologne printer
named Therhoernen about l41O. but 1t
was not generally adopted until fifty
wears later The early punctuation
was very simple. consisting of an OBJ
lique line and ii full stop. One of the
