Harvard Coach Still
Matter of Discussion

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Feb. H.-An-
other meeting of the Harvard athletic
committee passed into history and still
the question of who will coach the
Harvard football team next season re-
mains unsettled.
The continued silence of Coach Tough
ton concerning his future plans cannot
be taken as a bad omen. Evidently the
Crimson leader and the athletic commit
tee are at odds over the question OF
salary.
Haughton did not sign his contracts
in the past until way into spring. No
other man Is being considered despite
reports that are going the rounds. The
athletic committee tonight did not take
up the question as to who should sue
ceed Billy Garcelon as graduate treas
urer. neither did they act on the rec
ommenda ton of the student council that
hockey be graduated into major sport

PLEASURES

The objects of pleasure are two
in number. First, to kill time, and,
second, to keep US from doing some
thing else which would make US
more miserable. The pleasures of
the American people, roughly speak
ing, are likewise twOfold; namely:
making money and spending it.
Some people derive all their pleas
ure from making money, and others
all their pleasure from spending it.
Others combine the two.
Being an inventive people, the
Americans have created many ways
Of spending money. Being too busy
making it, to spend any time on the
drudgers of running their country
they spend a large portion of it in
supporting the politicians. This, in
deed, is one Of their chief pleasures
And their superb sense Of humol
enables them to enjoy intensely the
accounts of what all the politician:
are doing, which enterprising papers
publish from day to day.
| The Americans have other pleas
ures, but compared with this ont
they are mostly trivial.-Life.

The terms Of office of both Judge
t NJ Shackleford and Judge W. A.
Hooker of the state supreme court
will expire at the end of next
year and it is announced that
they will both be candidates in the
1914 primary TO succeed themselves.
Of course, at that time there will be
two places to be filled on the SUI
Dreme bench, and it is not definitely
known that any one else will aspire
TO these positions. Ocala and the
entire fifth judicial circuit takes par
1icular interest in Judge Hooker s
candidacy. He is yet a citizen Of
Ocala, and his splendid work as cir
cult judge was his stepping stone to
the states highest tribunal. Marion
county feels that his place on the su-
preme bench is an honor to her.

ECONOMY

Economy is the thing you practice
when you have so much money that
you don't care whether you spend it
or not. Extravaganza has ruined
many. but economy more Few peo-
pie who really wish to get on can af-
ford to be economical. 1t is too ex-
pensive.
Economy is the science of being
satisfied. That is the reason it is

and economical afterward. In the
beginning it is fatal. Necer econo-

ways the danger that you may learn
TO do without them. Much better, if
one has to, to do without necessi-

THE ENGINEER

By George Fitch: The engineer is
the large, quiet man in overalls who
acts as mahout of the modern loco
motive.
In the last thirty years locomotives
have quadrupled in weight. But the
same sized engineers are still used,
and are giving very good satisfac-
ton.
The engineer is one of the few
men who can ride free on our rail-
road trains nowadays. His is a pleas
ant life. All he has to do is to sit
on a cushioned seat and career
blithely over and through the space
and scenery and various obstruc
tions.
He does not have to work at all.
The fireman does the work. All the
engineer does is to pull the throttle
and yank the reverse lever and man
ipulate the brake and watch the
steam guage and supervise the fore
ed draft and jolly along the head
| light dynamo and lubricate the steam
dome and keep an eye on the super
| heater and block up one side occa-
siOnally when the high pressure cyl
inder head blows out.
The rest of the time he rides en-
| tirely at his ease and amuses himself
| by wondering if he can pick up the
next switch signal soon enough tC
stop the train if it happens to be red
| The engineer, it will thus be seen
leads a jolly life and enjoys a great
deal of travel during the year. He
usually travels about $50 miles a
day, and when he gets off his engine
he looks like Othello in overalls. /
he travels too fast, the company lay:
him off for speeding. If he travels
too slow the train dispatcher report
him, and if he suddenly stops travel
ing altogether in the middle of tn
journey, the coroner usually sits up
on him and the officials try to prov
that he wrecked his train and him
self on purpose.
The engineer is always present a
all train wrecks, and usually he is il
a reserved seat in the front row
When the engineer observes anothe
> 200-ton engine approaching his OF
the same track, at the rate Of siXt
miles an hour, he is supposed b
etiquette to remain at his post. Thi
he usually does, and when the wreck
age is cleared away he is discovere
holding the attacking engine in hi
lap.

In a new form of Indictment propos

dated November II, James c. Crop

ed form of Indictment for murder
now used in his office as follows:
1.-The grand jury of the county of
Kings by this Indictment accuse the
defendant of the crime Of murder in
the first degree committed as fol-
lows: The defendant on October
rs, 1909, in the county Of Kings.

Why can't Florida have such con-

The Telegraph is not one of those
papers which sneers at the grape
juice administration. We believe
that President Wilson and his cabi-
net are doing the right thing in not
rushing into a long and costly war
simply because a lot of thoughtless
Or interested people advise it. To
the contrary, we believe the admin
istration has the Mexican situation
well in hand, that Huerta has swal-
lowed the hook and that Mr.. Wilson
is simply playing the line until the
usurper has tired himself out. and
then he will be landed. Mr.. Wilson
has inside information which is not
public property and upon this infor-
nation he acts. The matter is in
safe hands.-Starke Telegraph.
The Star is so glad TO see the fore
going in the Telegraph. About {
year and a half ago, it would have
turned up its little toes in despair al
the very idea Of such crisis as the
Mexican situation and Wilson ad
ninistration at one and the same
time.
