OF beef cattle than now common in the
state, This, he says, the first shin
ment this side of high breed cattle
brought into this state and he believes
it marks the beginning of the end
when people will reflect on the Florida
beef, for the POlI-Angus is recognized
as being the best standard for beef
breeding that is known.
He states that Florida, and especial

This Jacksonville waterways con.

not be COMPOUNDED and get mixed in
the minds Of the people with the Pa
Iatka waterways convention of the II

to Mayport, while the latter is pre-
Ilminary to an inland waterway
across Florida and up the Gulf coast
to New Orleans. There is another
difference: The Jacksonville conven-
ton has arranged to be embelhshed
by the presence of the original and
only Cole L. Blease, governor of
South Carolina and heir to the pro-
longed periods between drinks inau-
gurated by his predecessors and the
chief executive of North Carolina

as attractions Senators Fletcher and
Bryan and would-beSenators Stock 3

who ought to be getting busy about
this time.

1t was not left to modern doctors tc
associate the decline of the Roman EN-
pre- with luxurious warm bathing
Eoman writer's are full of moralizins
on tn" subject. Seneca, CHANGING back
ut the good old times. recalled that the
Old Rolnhns. though they washed their
arms ana legs daily, bathed their whole
bodies once n week. Even when Scipio
introduced a warm bath into his villa
the bathroom was small and dark

with no pretensionS to luxury. and the
earlier public baths were so sfmpIo
That the aedile merely tested the tenn

ANA later came such emperors as Com.

times a day and took his meals in tho

WORD WEAPONS
AND TEAR DUCTS.

The domestic troubles of Ne'
York wife caused her to weep so niue
that she was obliged to have her tea
ducts removed by surgeon, only
short time ago. The surgeon de
clared that her constant crying mad
the operation necessary. The hus
band was not accused of beating thi
weeping wife or of indulging in an!
other vulgar vices. He was jus
Sarcastic" so it was said.
There is great deal of brutality
that never has resort to brutal weap.
ons. Physical personalities are most
disturbed by physical distresses, most
comforted by food and drink. But
our tender hearted, sensitive Ameri-
can women can be bruised more deep
ly and severely by words and silent
acts, more soothed and strengthene
by little kindnesses.
The domestic curmudgeon, as In
gersoll once said, "assassinates the
joy of life; murders the sunshine of
the day." And men who would never
strike woman with fists will wound
their wives and mothers with words.
The savage squaw takes her beating
and tries to avoid the next one. but
the woman who was hurt by what
John said will feel that hurt for weeks
to come, a new wound every time she
recalls it.
How many of US, men and women,
are brutal? We may never abuse
dumb brutes because we never come
In contact with them. We may never
terrify children because we have
none. We may not club our women
folks because it is against the law
or contrary to our habit. But do we
add deliberately to the sum of human
misery, by words, or acts, or neglect,
or broken promises? Do we do, or
say, things which we know will hurt
ANYBODY! linen are we not brutal?
Cruelty is an elusive vice which we
see more quickly in others than in
ourselves. The society pet who floats
In champaign may look down on the
man who over INDUCES regularly in
corn Ticker" immortality glamored
always has contempt for immortality
unglamored. And so perhaps there is
more of lesson to many men in this
fearless New York wife than in anv
story of domestic brutality which be-
longs to rougher state of societv
Word weapons have been made our
modern Instruments for wife-beating,
and they are the most cruel of all.

fact that he was the first to fiaunt the
danger signal at the approach of the

gave the credit to Frank Clark, who
recently made vigorous kick in the
Congress of the United States. The
News begs the pardon of Editor
Iriplett; his was the only original
war whoop on this important cues

Comments of Press
From Kissimmee Valley Gazette

) From kissimmee Valley Gazette:
Gov. Trammell has been aroused BY
the Japanese menace, first called t.
the attention of the people of Florida
by Congressman Frank Clark. But
there will be no extra session of the
legislature to deal with the question
The governor has gone into the mat
Ter deep enough to learn that the leg
stature would be powerless to inter
tere. Under the present constitution
OF the state the Japanese have the
same right to colonize and acquire
property in Florida that is guaran-
tHad to the most favored foreigners:
the same in fact that is vouchsafed
to native born citizens. 1t is time
FLORIDA had new constitution.
The above paragraph appeared in
last weeks issue of the Palatka News
and while we have no desire to rob the
Congressman from this district of any
glory he might have captured in en-
terlng his protest on the floor of Con
gress against the colonizing of Jan
anese IN Florida, nor being credited
with calling down such an able writer
and close student of all things that
affect our beloved state as Editor Rms

that the Valley Gazette, in its issue
Of July 18th, contained the following
