The meeting in this city next Mon
day, called by the Sanford and Pa
latka boards of trade for the purpose
of organizing a Florida Waterways
Association, and for purposes of
booming proposition for the advance
ment of cheap and natural transpor-
tatiOn facilities by river and lake,
with special reference to feeders for
the great st. Johns river, is impor-
tant to Palatka, and should have the
encOurageme of all our people. The
best way to encourage the project
is for all who possibly can to turn
out at the meeting next Monday and
help boom the scheme. There are
fourteen waterways associations al
ready at work in different parts of
the United States, and all are ask
ing money from congress to develop
new and growing sections of their
contiguous territory. That will be a
plan of the coming Florida Organiza-
ton. 1t is scheme to help develop
Florida by opening up rich lands to
transportation facilities along waters
naturally tributary to the great wa
ter way of the State-the st. Johns.

will, though it does not believe that
anything more serious can be charged
up to him than that he abandoned the
navy, where he was useful, to enter
congress and fail in an effort to i'm

aside, the country, since Champ
Clark's recent exhibition of himself
at the Detroit Chamber of Commerce
banquet, is more interested in know
ing what Champ Clark thinks of him
self. But The News is believer in
the democracy of William Jennings

be something doing.

The Methodist church at Arcadia
proved too small to accommodate
the conference, and the Baptists of
the city rendered the use of their lar
ger and beautiful edifice for the meet
ings. The offer was promptly accept
ed, and the good bishop presiding,
feeling the responsibility which Gen.
tered in an acceptance of the offer,
cautioned the brethren mot to spit
on the floor but swallow your amber
like the Baptists do" The advice was
timely but whether it was acted on
or not has not been yet made publ.
by the host.

MAN HIS OWN
GREATEST FOE.

Ours is rough world for inyer-
tebrates. Call it the worst possible
world, as the pessimist does, or the
best possible world as the Optimist
does, or very likeable world, as the
meliorist does; it is certainly brisk,
;. strenuous place to live in.
Nothing goes or grows unhinder-
ed. But for the law of antagonism
one could throw a stone to Tallahas-
see as easily as across the street.
Every harvest field is sort of Wa
terlOo. where life and death fight
eternally. The history of civilization
is a history of interminable combat.
The Panama canal, the railway across
the Florida keys, the latest Swiss
tunnel, are not only engineering
triumphs, but cOnquests over ancient
enemies in nature. Our hospitals
represent our gains against the in
veterate enemies of the body.
But the conflict is sharper than
this. Someone has said that mans
worst enemy is man. Something
terribly ails the man who has sue
ceeded in getting through this world
without waking up any husky foes.
The citizen who is not worth a good
light is scarcely worth good gunpOw-
hder to blow him up. Fancy being
@ red-blOoded man and being able
No get through this world without
3 winning an enemy.
But the law of antagOnism goes
deeper than this. No man has COM
pleted the list of his foes until he has
counted himself.
Alexander had the world at his feet
while he was still young man, and
died victim of the uncOnquered
passions of his own soul. Antony
met his real defeat. not at Actium,
but when he fell prey to the wiles
of Cleopatra. George Eliot won her
fight for recognition of her rare gifts,
but somehow she lost her greatest
moral battle.
Most of us accept the doctrine that
life breaks down at its weakest point.
In the soul itself, as in timber and
in rocks, there is such a quality as
grain. And the old cynicism that
every man has his price is merely
an expressed conviction that if we
can enter the wedge with the grain
of a mans soul we shall split him
wide open.
But what about the cOrrelate truth,
that a man breaks at his strongest
point? His foes shall be they of his
,wn household-especially his vir-
tues The frugal man fails at his
strongest point. Shylock is mere
" a frugal man grown rank. Rob-
,rt Burns went to pieces at the point
If his utmost lovableness. Even the
saint needs beware lest he make his
,wn goodness a sort of fetish. a
rood man may fall in love with his
,wn prayerfulness; become intOlerant
through the graces which ought to
make him most lOvable.
Is this hard doctrine? No, it is
plendid doctrine. The strenuous
less of it makes the thrill of it.
Anybody can without half trying
i've up to a low ideal. We live in a
lay of great daring. Why not, as
he Christmas time approaches, de- ,
ide to take some chances in the name !
# the souls greatest Master?

the New York cotton exchange is con-

restoring normal conditions In the
leading cotton markets of the world.

An Insulting Offer
Promptly Rejected.

In the faculty of Harvard Univer-
sity Is a learned and distinguished
German professor. Hugo Munsterberg
Professor Munsterberg has recently
been writing some articles and ex-
pressing some opinions on the Euro
pean war which are decidedly pro-
German.
over in England there lives a wealthy
Britisher named Wiener, who is re-
ported to have offered to give Har-
ward $4,000, 900, but he stipulates as a
condition of the gift that Professor
Munsterberg must be dismissed.
Thereupon the German professor
very graciously tenders his resigna
ton on the ground that, whatever his
services may be worth to Harvard
they can hardly be worth $10,00o000
Harvard III turn very promptly refuses
to accept the resignation and Of course
forfeits the proposed $10,O0e,ooO gift.
Now some one wants to know: rs
Munsterterg worth $10,0o0,000 to Har-
vard7" We think the question is en-
LlISlS ActciSu " INC pOiAlG a. 4So1AC-
Certainly, neither Professor Munster
oerg nor any other man is worth s10,-
Ooo, 900 to any institution, and the
question therefore may very promptly
be answered, mo"
But IL we ask, It's Harvard Univer-
sity's self-respect worth SO, 600, 900 ?"
the answer is equally as prompt,
~Yes!"
The wealthy man of whatever ma
tionality who presumes, by his
money, to control or prevent free
speech and free opinion on the part
of an American citizen or OF an Amer
lean college, should be promptly
kicked out Of the door and take his
money and his presumption with him.
II there is one thing for which this
American government stands 1t is free
opinion and free expression Of it, and
that principle should be exemplihed by
every college in the land.
Harvard did right to retain Profess
sor Munsterberg and to reject the in
sulting proposal Of the English money
bags. Let US trust that the time will
never come when any institution of
learning in this country will fall so low
as to be Influenced by any such con-
sideration as was offered in this case. |
