Did You Ever Notice
How This Is?

Did You ever notice that it is the
day that you are late in getting UP
that the cook is tardy about putting
breakfast on the table.
That when you are late to the office
the man who just dropped in minute
il certain to be there, with a CHEEKY
smile and the sett1ed-very much set
tled-oonviction that he is necessary
to your days work.
That the typewriter IS sure to need
coaxing before it will work-of course
we mean the machine.
That the linotype machine and the
proofreader seem to get the jimjams
on that very same day. and that all
your plans TO get copy up ahead Of
time is knocked into a cooked hat?
Did you ever notice?

The Stumbling Block On
The Road to Success

1t is hard to work against a handi-
sap.
Nearly all of us could be rich or
famous or happy. if it were not for
some stumbling block TO our wealth or
fame or happiness
But now and then one meets man
or a woman who is rich and famous
and happy and one finds that this same
man or woman has been fighting
against odds from the beginning
has not had sense enough to realize
that handioaps are stumbling blocks,
but has thought them rather incentives
to effort.
Effort can accomplish great results.

All Riaht at Heart


Editor Straub, Of the St. Petersburg
Times, has evidently been feeling I'M
comfortable about that little break
he made the other day in one of his
grouchy moods when he characterized
as "slobber" the kind words of the
state press for Frank L. Mayes of
Pensacola, considered as a possible
candidate for governor. He defends
himself against the criticism of the
Telegram through half column of la
bored special pleading excused by the
grace with which he pays Mr.. Mayes a
high and undoubtedly sincere COM
pliment, and we shall not be guilty of
the very bad taste Of following his
example and denominating as "sIobber''
his words of praise for that gentleman
Straub is all right and his heart is
sound, but his cynicism undertakes
the amenities of life and he is too
acidulous at times.-Lakeland TeIe-

WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 10. 1918
Senator Roots
Foolish Argument.

In =. speech Surfing the consideration
OF the tarffr bill in the senate, Senator
F-l;tzu Root of New York protested
axstrst the democratic proposition &c
levy a heavy tax on large incomes and
exersot persons OF small incomes. He
was In favor Of the principle Of the in
ronne tar. he said, but in his opinion
she exemption now fixed at $4,000 in
ire nendirsx tariff bill should be re-
Huosd to $1,000.
senator Boots argument was that
the great Industrial states should not
have the burden Of. the tax 30 shifted
that they would have to bear tne
xreater part Of n. while the lesser
states. width populations mainly In re-
reipt OF small incomes. would have
very littae or this burden to bear. He
pointed out. that through the voluntary
consent Of the larger states. when the
union was formed. the smaller states
Of the union were given equal repre-
sentation with the larger In the SEN
ate. and this consent had been given
because the larger states trusted to the
sense of fairness OF the other states not
to isuse the power thus conferred AS
an example to sustain his contention,
Senator Root said that Nevada. with a
total population OF $4,000. had as much
voice in the senate as New York with
its 10000, 900 population.
All of this looks very plausible on its
face, but Senator Root makes the Gus
tcmary senatorial mistake IN assum-
ing that all the representation of the
country and all the wisdom OF the law
making power lies in the senate.
New York with her 1o.ooo.Oo people
has adequate representation In the
house-and the income tax Is stronger
in the house than 1t Is in the senate.
New YorlSs 100000 people are just
as much in favor of an income tax as
are Nevada's "a 200 people.
1t is true that there are more rich
people in New York who would pay
the income tax than there are in the
smaller states There are also more
poor people in New York who would
not pay it than there are In the smaller
states.
The trouble with Senator Root is
that he represents q class who have
always tried to saddle the burden of
taxation upon those people who are
faeast able to bear 1t. and now that the
privileged few for whom he speaks
are. about to have to come across with
- more adequate support to the fed
ssral government. the only argument
that can be employed in their defense
consists OF subterfuge and fallacy.
What happened when the union was
formed over a century ago should not
prevent the people now from requiring
she rich TO pay their proportion of the
taxes for the support of the govern
Gnent.

Style Notes.

Style NOteS.
 Some extremely handsome dresses are made of white lace or net over black charmeuse and some of the sashes are so voluminous that they cover nearly half the skirt, practically forming a tunic and a train. The sash that is pushed well down over the hips after the manner of the Eastern dancing girl is seen and is becoming to many figures. AS con- trast, however, we are seeing tulle sashes with big looped bows at the back and the ends finished with tas- fashions are so generous and allow so much license to the individual that there is no excuse for unbecoming dress. While it is true that it is easy to overdo and to eXaggerate in follow ing the fashionable lines, it, is the part of the individual to avoid such CT TOTS and only by avoiding them can real distinction be found.' La Mode offers the opportunity and it rests with the individual whether it is to be used to advantage or travestied into the absurd This is the season when old Gotham is full of strang- CTS and some really weird efforts of fashion are to be met upon the streets. What a pity the girls will not remember to look at one another and be guided by what they see. Close, narrow skirts of linen and duck are hopelessly ugly after they have been sat in.

HEAD STOPS A BRICK.

William Moore, a negro, awakened
the other day with bad headache
while physicians expected that he
would have been occupying space in
the morgue. He stopped a brick the
day before after it had fallen ten sto-
ries and was travelling with the ve-
locity of a cannon ball When it hit
Moore on the top of his head it broke
into bits. Moore sat down suddenly,
and apparently was a subject for the
coroner.
Workmen on the budding from
which the brick dropped sent hurried
ly for physician. Before the doctor
arrived Moore was up.
"What'ye want to do that for?" he
demanded angrily of a workman VINO
was bending over to catch the sup
posedly dying mans last words.
Examination of Moore revealed that
all he suffered was a headache. The
brick contractor charged the brick to
profit and loss.

WHY GIRLS QUIT SCHOOL.

why girls leave school, is the title
of bulletin issued the other day by
the United States bureau of education,
based on an inquiry made by it's eX-
perts into trade and labor conditions
among girls in Worcester, Mass.
The claim that children are forced
to leave school to work because their
parents need the money is repudiated
by the officials of the bureau. They
found that from one-half to three
fourths of the girls at work in the fac
tories could have had further school
ing If they had desired or if their par
ents had insisted upon it.
Various reasons were assigned by
the girls for their refusal to attend
school longer, according to the bureau.
Some said they did not like school; "
others could not get along with the
teacher and were not promoted" while
many simply wanted to go to work. "
Only II per cent. of the girls ques-
toned had finished the grammar
schools, while most of them had left
in the sixth and seventh grades.
Conditions such as were found"
says the bulletin, emphasizes the i'm
perative need for special training of a
practical sort for girls between the
ages of thirteen and fifteen. Not get
ting the kind of training they might
have liked and would have profited
by, they blindly Joined the army of
shifting, inefficient, discontented girls
that go from one monotonous factory
job to another, and because of their
lack of training, rarely rise above the
class of low paid, unskilled workers" "

JAPANESE IN HAWAII SCHOOLS.

OF the 10000 children enrolled in the
Hawaiian public schools nearly 10000
of them are Japanese. This informa-
tion was received by the United States
bureau of education in report from
Gov. Walter F. Frear of the. islands.
The Japanese, moreover, are increas-
ing their attendance on the schools
more rapidly than any other race. the
report adds.
A notable feature of Governor 8
Frear's report is found in the state
ment that the children of Americans
and other Caucasian races, outside of
the Portuguese, constitute only IL per
cent. of the attendance. The Portu-
guese enrolment in the schools Is
next highest to that of the Japanese,
being approximately II per cent. of
the total The Hawaiian and part-Ha-
waiian children form about 30 per
cent. of the whole and Chinese IL per
cent
The cost of maintaining the schools
in the territory last year was approxi-
mately $625,000. There are 151 schools
of elementary grade, three Industrial
institutions, a normal schools, a col
lege of agriculture and mechanical
arts and two high schools.

SAVINGS SYSTEM TRANSFERRED.

Postmaster General Burleson has
signed an order transferring the pos
tai savings system to the bureau OF
the third assistant postmaster gener-
al. The order became effective on
May 1, 1918. Since the creation of the
postal savings system on January l.
1911, it has been conducted as a sep
direction of the postmaster general
The transfer of the system is deemed
advisable by the postmaster general
since all other financial functions of
the postal service are segregated in
the bureau of the third assistant post
master general. At the present time
the postal savings system is operating
in approximately 1900 post offices,
and the amount on deposit aggregates
$35,000,000, exclusive of $2,500.0O0
which has been converted into postal
savings system bonds. In the central
office at Washington there are 1SS en-
ployes, including the director, assist
ory officers. The appropriation for
carrying on the business of the sys-
TEN for 1912 amounted to 100000,
and the appropriation for 1913 is
100000 and the unexpended amount
of the 1912 appropriation. In addition
to these appropriations there is an
appropriation of 1929 $50 for clerk
hire and S105.500 for supplies and
miscellaneous expenses for 1914.
