What College Does for Girls.

Some months ago the New York
Times published under the above
caption an article by Dean Virginia
Gildersleeve, of Barnard College.
Her opinion may be thus summed
up:
College education for women is
just as natural thing as it is for
men, and in these days is just as
inevitable. Its object is not to teach
"manners," or to decorate a girl
with degree, or to prepare her for
any one phase of living It's object
is rather to turn her out a well
rounded human being, who is better
trained for the business Of modern
life, because she has had four years
in college. And that is just what
the college is doing.
The college woman enters upon
her career in womanhood, whether
it is a career as wife and mother, as
wage-earner, or as daughter and
society girl, better fitted for what
is before her than the girl who has
not been to college. The all-around
development that college gives a
girl makes her a better poised, more
capable woman. College graduates
become most conscientious and cap
able wives and mothers. The col
lege woman feels more keenly her
responsibilities to home and COM
munity than do most women who
have not had the advantage of col
lege training.
1t is not the aim of the college to
teach "manners; it does not pretend
to teach manners. But it teaches
manner; it teaches poise; it teaches
self-reliance, and consideration, and
breadth of view.
Many a girl before entering col
lege has lived narrow sort of life
in which she has known only one
kind of people. Inevitably she is
prejudiced, Life in college quickly
teaches her to lay aside such
prejudice. She is thrown in with
all sorts of people. She sees the
good in them. She becomes inter-
ested in them. And perhaps the
greatest good in social intercourse
is the fact that it develops power
of seeing the best in other people.
Manners" and fashions change
with the years. But poise, interest,
self-reliance, responsibility, tol-
erance and understanding, as well
as an unaffected knowledge of how
to meet all kinds of people these
are things that do not change; and
these are the things that college
puts into the very fibers and nerves
of woman.
College does such things as these
for girls.

HOTEL FIRE AT OMAHA, NE8.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Omaha, Nebraska, Friday afternoon,
says:
Loss of life estimated from TWEEN
ty to seventy-fve resulted from a fire
which destroyed the Dewey Hotel, oc-
cupying three-story building here to.
day. Three hours after the fire was
discovered it was pronounced under
control.
The fact that the hotel register was
destroyed will make it difficult to OBJ,
tain a list of the dead, and while the
manager of the place states that about
fifty were registered. others who were
about the hotel declared that many OF
the guests were not registered and
the total number was more nearly
one hundred.
Of these, not more than twenty-five
are known to have escaped.
The cause of the fire has not been
determined. 1t started in the rear of
the building, but had gained great
Roadway before it was discovered
The few guests who escaped from
second-story windows did so i'll scanty
attire.
That the basement, into which the
burning interior fell within half an
hour after the fire started, contains
at least forty bodies is the belief of
Fire Chief Salter. Only four bodies
were recovered before the flames
drove the firemen from the building.
When the fremen reached the burn
ing hotel they saw number of per-
sons at windows in the two upper sto-
ries. Before ladders could be raised
the roof began to cave in and no one
was rescued.

If THERE WERE NO DEATH

In a lengthy editorial taken from
the New York American, printed in
our edition of Friday, among other
wonderful things, there was the fol
lowing statement:
Suppose for a moment that the
equilibrium between life and death
were to cease-imagine death arrest
ed in it's work. What would happen
The number of living beings upon
the surface Of the earth would be so
great there would be no room for
them. The atmosphere would be
transformed into a compact mass of
birds and insects, which would be
impenetrable even by the rays of the
sun. In it's superabundance life would
suffocate and crush out life itself
And then death would rule supreme
all at once. In a few days all organ
ic life would have disappeared from
the earth; it would be nothing but a
waste and desert.
If the above statement be true. and
cur first parents had not been tempt
ed to eat the forbidden fruit, thus
bringing sin and death into the world,
death would have resulted from over
croWding, so We must suppose that it
was part of the divine plan for them
to have done just what they did do,
for it is only by death that we can live
here or hereafter.

FOR A GREATER ocALA

Quite a large number attended the
mass meeting last week at the
CITY council chamber to endorse the
proposed measure to extend the city
limits.
The proposition is to extend the
limits quarter of a mile in each d.
rection, and eastward still further to
Silver Springs. 1t is proposed TO
make the strip to the spring half
mile wide.
Great efforts will be made to make
il a highway beautiful" 1t will be
planted with shade trees, and it IS
hoped that it will soon be adorned
with cottages. bungalows and stately
homes. 1t is proposed, as rapidly as
poible, to extend the water, electric
light and telephone service, and have
the connection, not fictitious, but real.
The real purpose is to give Ocala
water outlet, and make a business
asset of this beautiful sheet OF water.
Why is not the proposition feasible?
When Tampa first secured deep
water, merchandise had to be hauled
over a railroad from Port Tampa to
Tampa distance of nine miles.
There was nothing scarcely between
the two places but a pine forest.
| Miami is twelve miles to deep wa
ter. Jacksonville is twenty miles
from the sea, and so is Savannah.
And yet these cities are called coast
cities.
Ocala wants to be on the map as
possessing water communication. Il
it be a fiction it will not always re-
main one. and the invention OF fctions
of law for useful and salutary purpos-
es are not unknown TO the law.
Besides making Ocala good let's
make her great.

FLORIDA DEMANDS RECOGNITION

In looking back over the history of
this state since the war of the COS it
is interesting to Floridians to note
the number of her sons who have rep
resented her in the cabinets of the
long line of presidents, as we'll as in
the consular and other diplomatic
branches of its service. The total
number of these is naught.
Should these things be so?
Florida is counted on every four
years to help make up the solid
south, and Florida always is where it
is expected TO be.
Florida is fast becoming one Of the
most important states in the south,
as we'll as in the Union, for along
many lines it stands in class by it.
self. 1t is the great winter playground
of the nation, and it is the nations
winter garden. Surely, then, these
men who have stood by their party
and who are making the state what
it is should receive some official rec
ignition.
The smaller states of Rhode Island,
Vermont, New Jersey and others have
been honored by Federal recognition
and high appointment. Why should
not the greater state of Florida be?
The press of the state always
stands to the aid of the democratic
party Irrespective of whether or not
it is campaign year, when it is a mat
ter of advancing the interests of the
party.
The press of the state now demands
to be heard in behalf Of the democra-
cy of Florida, speaking for official
recognition of it's citizens as federal
appointees.
There are, and there doubtless will
be more Floridians of ability and
prominence seeking what they have a
right to expect under a democratic
administration-fed appointment
and it should be the pleasure, as it
is the duty, of the incoming president
and high department heads, to weigh
carefully these applications, and to
select from the Florida democrats for
some of the positions to be filed.
The press of the state has almost
to a man endorsed the Hon. J. Fred
DeBerry of Plant City for the position
of second assistant postmaster gener-
al. 1t has looked into. and become
thoroughly satisfied with his peculiar
fitness for this important position, and
the press of Florida now feels that it
is entitled TO be heard in its advocacy
of him, none the less because it has
always responded to the needs Of the
party in critical times and lent its aid
at all times.
The Metropolis, for one Florida pa
per, has endorsed to what it believes
to be a certainty, the selection of Hon
Josephus Daniels, of North Carolina,
an able editor, for the position of post
master general under President Viii
son, and this paper feels sure that if
this strong, lberalminded southern
editor is given the port folio he will
at least be attentive to the call and
endorsement of his Florida fellow ed
itors for the extension of this federal
appointment to one who has the IN
qualified endorsement of the Florida
press.-Metropolis

"THE SHORT BALLOT"

Mr.. Herbert L. Anderson. formerly
of this city. head of the bull moose
party of Florida, will present a short
ballot bill for adoption at the next
session Of the Florida legislature. The
Jacksonville Metropolis says that this
Short ballot" will permit the govern
or to name his own cabinet, the same
as the president is permitted to Sc
lect his. Mr.. Anderson gives the fol
lowing reasons for the shortening OF
the ballot:
The dangerously great power Of pol
Iitiicans in our country is not due to
iany peculiar civic Indifference OF the
people. but rests on the fact that we
are living under a form of democracy
that is so unavoidable as 10 constitute
in practice a psuedO-democracy 1t is
unavoidable because
First-It submits to popular cleo
/ ton offices which are too unimportant
Ito attract Tor deserye) public atten-
Ition, and,
Second-It submits to popular cleo
ltion so many offices at one time as to
make the business of matchmaking
too intricate for popular participation,
Iwhereupon some sort of private polit-
ical machine becomes an indispensa-
bic instrument in electoral action.
Many officials, therefore, are elect
led without adequate public scrutiny,
and owe their selection not to the peo-
pie, but to the makers of the party
ticket, who thus acquire an influence
that is capable of great abuse.
Principle of Ballot
The short ballot" principle is:
First-That only those offices
should be elective which are impor-
tant enough to attract land deserve)
public examination.
Second-That very few offices
should be filed by election at one
time, so as to permit adequate and
iunconfused public examination of the
free and intelligent making of origi-
nal tickets by any voter for himself
iunaided by political specialists.
Obedience to this fundamental prin-
ciple explains the comparative sue
cess of democratic government in the
cities of Great Britain and other for
eign democracies, as well as in Gal
weston, Des Moines and other Ameri-
can cities that are governed by com
missions"
The application of this principle
should be extended to all cities, coun-
tiles and states.

FLoNzALEVs AT AueUsTANA.

MUCH OF THE SUCCESS OF THE
famous Flonzaley quartet, which APP
pears in recital at Augustana college,
Wednesday, Jan. 20, is due TO the
highly interesting personality of the
four artists forming the organization.
They are Adolfo Betti, first violin; Al
fred Pochon, second violin; Ugo Ara,
viola. and Ivan d'Archai~ Oeau, cello.
Ali are of the Latin race, but OF three
different nationalities. Messrs. Betti
and Ara being Italians, Mr. Pochon,
Swiss, and Mr. d'ArchambeSu, French.
Three OF them are pupils of the same
master. the famous Cesar Thomson.
They are an interesting and distin-
guished group of men, I'll intensely
temperamental and all wholly absorbed
in their art. The finish of their tech
nique and the perfection OF their en-
semble are two qualities whiC1 have
everywhere been commented upon on
the Flonzaley's tour this season. Chi
cago, New York and Boston have hail
ed the organization as the rival of
the Kneisels, and it is safe to prophecy
that a few seasons hence will see il
recognized throughout America as it
already is in Europe, as the greatest
string quartet in existence.

ture. However, we may be assured
that until we adopt business meth
DDS and systems of permanent fer
tility we cannot secure the benefits
of modern banking and business sys-
tens whether these be of native or

B. F. Harris, farmer and banker of
Champaign, ILL.,, says: When the farm
er natures his plans and operates
his farm on the basis of a real pur-
pose for the future, just as does the
business man, the railroad, or the
corporation, then will he have the abil-
ity 20 get the long time mortgage loans
at the lower rates and with the many
privileges that business organizations
now enjoy. He must figure out a Ger.
tain definite annual expense on the
basis Of certain gross income which
must be sufficiently in excess of the
expense to provide funds for proper
maintenance of the farm and its equip
ment and its soil fertility. as well
as an ample sum to take care of the
annual payments on principal; he
must provide for the usual accidents
and failures and then an additional
net sums or dividend of profit, at a
proper rate, based on the market and
increasing value of the farm which
he is operating"
We may talk rural credits" we may
complain of short term loans and
high rates of interest, and we may
send delegates to Europe to study
foreign credit systems, but in the fin
al analysis we will find that if we
are to have more favorable farm fl
