CHARACTER IS EVERYTHING

Under the above caption a valued
exchange in another State (the
Jackson, Mich, Patriot) breaches
the best short sermon on vital
question we have ever read. It in
timately concerns every man and
woman in the world and especially
the young, whose characters are
still in the formative stage and not
yet hardened for right Or wrong.
From the article referred to we take
the following:
without integrity, force of will,
strength of purpose and clearness of
vision, which are character, brain is
useless. Integrity alone does not
meet the requirements of life. With
it, for the accomplishment of desir-
able ends, must be ability.
1.-The drifting derelicts on lifes
high seas are not drifting because
they are brainless, but because they
are characterless. They lack the
strength to stop when they should
pause in wrong course, the energy
to begin or to continue in the way
that is best. Character is self-built
and self-maintained. Tendencies for
or against it may be inherited.
There may be wrong inclination
on the day of birth. Down the long
ancestral channel sweeps stream
that may be disposed to carry one in
the wron@ direction. This is hered-
ty. But it is each Persons duty to
pail up stream in itead Of drifting
with the current overcoming in all
things. Character is a structure
each must build.
TO begin with, the materials
With which We build are our own
thoughts. Right thinking is the
basis of all true education. Cease
to do evil, learn to do WELL" Ha-
bitual thoughts create an atmos-
phere in which We thrive or Ian
guish. We may not speak our
thoughts, but we cannot conceal
them. They reveal themselves in
every act of life, in the lines and
expressions of our faces, in the eyes,
in the smile or gloom we carry in
work or play, really our conduct re-
veals the secret of our innermost
, and habitual thoughts. Speech may
hide them; actions do not.
According to our thoughts, flow
ing into acts, We succeed or we fail.
Thoughts make character, and char
acter is what we are. Finally when
the end comes, as 1t surely comes to
all, character is all that We take out
of this life into the life beyond.
Morgan was right. Character is
everything"

Five candidates for United States
marshalships are here now, camping
on the trail Of Attorney General Nc
Reynolds. They are J. C. Brown,
of Lakeland, after the Southern Dis
trict: Harley Cawthorn ami George
Ward, Of DeFuniak Springs; Nat
Walker of Charlottesville, and Har-
ry Bethel, Of Tallahassee, the latter
four after the Northern District po-

A fine bunch undoubtedly and the
ship of State would be steeref safe
ly with either of those pilots at the
helm. There seems to be more ac-
tive newspaper sentiment at this
time in behalf of Mr.. Mayes than
any other candidate and if that gen.
tleman gives it the right encourage
ment it is not likely to subside. 1t
is too early to draw the lines on the
.ubernatorial issue, for public SEN
timent, not even yet aroused on the
subject, must be allowed ample time
for fermentation after it is aroused;
but it IS not too early to say that
with the strong and admirable per-
soll.ity Of Frank Mayes in the con-
test we are going to have cam
paign with at least one candidate
who has an equipment of executive
ability and general personal fitness
that will make him hard to beat if
he seeks the nomination with his
characteristic vigor. MIR. Mayes has
been getting much praise from. the
State press as a prospective candi-
date for governor and none of it has
been "laid on too thick"

PERHAPS A CASE OF
MISTAKEN IDENTITY

The Tampa Times has fully re-
deemed its implied promise to the
Telegram to give Mr.. Walter Page,
American ambassador to England, a
trouncing of the first class because
of his novel. "The Southerner,"
which the Times holds to be
ibelous. villainous, traitorous, in
famous and execrable as the work
of Southern man residing in New
England, who basely pandered to
the prejudices of that section
against the South that thrift
mioht follow fawning."
The Times has drawn a strong
Indictment, but, following the be-
rign example of our gracious laws,
we have never yet convicted any
defendant on the mere allegations
in an indictment and never will.
