The President and War.

According to the constitution OF the
United States, article 1, section 8,
clause II, the power to declare war be-
longs to the congress, The president.
as the chief executive, when war Is
declared becomes commander in chief
of the army and navy, but he cannot
take the initiative in bringing on the
war The president who should have
the temerity to declare the country at
war with another people would be in
simultaneously removed from his high
office. The men who made the consti-
tuition upon which our government
rests knew how fatal to human rights
and happiness the monarchical prin-
ciple had been, and therefore they saw
to it that the nations head should have
nothing to do with declaring war with
another nation.-New York American,

"Quo vadis" at Kalbfeld's Grand.

"Quo Vadis," the superb photo -dra-
ma reproduction of Henry Sienkien-
wicz's world famous novel, comes to
the Kalbfield Grand next week, We'd
nesday, for two performances only,
matinee and night, and it looks as if
this remarkable production will estab-
lish wonderful record for it's short
time in Palatka. 1t is a photo play
that has a remarkable drawing power
with the people.
Aside from the many spectacular
features there is an undeniable fas-
ciration about the story Of "Vinitius"
passion for the sweet "Lygia" and
the adage that the course of true
love never runs smooth, etc." is pro-
ven as far back as A. d. &C by this
very picture romance. 1t is human
and human nature is the same today
as it was in the days Of Nero and all
the other Caesars and Roman emper-
ors. And that is what the public
likes whether it is i'm novels, dramas,
paintings, or photo-dramas.
There has been. much wonderment
at the magnitude and beauty of some
of the scenes, notably the interior
and garden scenes. But the locale is
Italy where landscape beauty is still
world sight. The Cines company Of
Italy is composed of many of The
wealthiest men Of Rome and the
Bank of Italy is also said to be large
ly interested in the company. Many
Of the wealthy nobility are stock
hoiders and when these pictures wei e
being made the stockholders gave
special permission for the use of
their gardens and palaces. By this
means many Of the gorgeous scenes
were produced with comparative ease
wfici eas to have built the grounds
and palaces specially it would have
taken several million dollars and ron-
dered it a business impossibility. Sle-
cial permission had to be obtained
from the royal cabinet for the use Of
some of the buildings and assurance
had to be given that none of the his
toric araLc&ques and marbles wculd
be disturbed. Even with all the adj
vantages at the disposal of the C,nes
company it is a wonderful achieve
mcnt which could hardly be dupli-
Gated anywhere else than in Eternal
Rome" "Quo Vadis" furnishes
amusement, instruction and irspira-
ton and fully merits the great sue
cess it has achieved.

HEROIC MUSICIANS.
Conductors For Whom the Orchestra
Is Merely Pedestal.

DR.. Max Nordau has an amusing ar
ticle in the Paris Revue on the evolu-
ton of the orchestra conductor. For.
merly the conductor was a modest
man who took Infinite pains with the
rehearsals and effaced himself on the
great day of the public concert.
Nowadays he is hero. You only
see him. The orchestra is merely
pedestal for him. In the French army
of former days there was a parsonage
who could be compared with him-the
drum major. He has the same pres
tige without the aid of the drum ma
ior's stature, lace and stick. He must
be a finished actor. He must play the
part of the lion which shoots the wa
ter into the fountain.
There was Gustav Mailer, the most
astounding artist in dumb show. All
the muscles of his clean shaved face
were contracted into the furious mask
of samurai when he let loose the be-
roic sonorities and relaxed into ecstasy
during the pianissimo.
Arthur Nikisch also reflects" TRACE
dies and idylls. but grace suits him
best. In the pastoral symphony Bee-
thoyen) he is the rocco shepherd tick
ling with the outstretched finger OF
his left hand the fair neck of pretty
shepherdess.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to cure deaf

of the Eustaehian Tube. When this
lube is infiamed you have a rumbling
5ound or imperfect hearing, and when
t is entirely closed. Deafness is The

Mrs. Marian A. Meadow of Punta
Gorda, who has contributed SO much
to horticultural knowledge in Florida,
and who will be in Palatka as a men,
Der of the State horticultural Society
at its Forthcoming convention, has
something to say about insect pests
in the last issue of the Florida Grow
er.
1t is here reproduced and a careful
reading is suggested. She says:
Mosquitoes we have by fits and
spells. In my part Of the State we
have these pests in varying numbers
when the east winds blow, but as they
are no comparison to the hordes that
worry the farmer in Michigan and
other northern States for about ten
weeks Of the year, l don't look on the
mosquito in Florida as the plague it
is where | came from. suppose that
city people might not agree with me
because someway or other we decide
most things in this life that are look
ed on as good or bad by comparing
them with something else in our eX-
| perience.
Zone would think that the bedbug
would wax and grow fat in a. climate
that tends to foster all forms of in
sect life but as rule, private homes
are seldom bothered with them, | have
been told that ants carry away the
young bugs when they are first de-
posted and destroy them in some
way. / won't vouch for this state
ment but | have been told this by old
residents and | know we have very
few bugs of this character to contend
with.
dogs have fleas in Florida and no
doubt the people who keep dogs may
be more or less troubled with feas.
The moral is, don't have dog.

in 16 years that that have tastes an(

they happen to like yours.
"But, if you don't hear these thing

take it for granted that they canno

far worse in the North with all o.

by any word of mine that we ar

lutely perfect in every respect.
