In this country we have been
taught to believe that "lese majesty
was little device in monarchicai
lands that made the people mighty
careful how they talked about their
kings; but in England at any rate
they talk as they please about poor
little King George, who is doubtless
unhappy enough in his job as figure
head for that nation, and Kier Har-
die, member of parliament and labor
leader, expresses this public opinion
of him in cold type:
King Geoge is not statesman.
He is not the pleasure-loving scape-
grace his father was, but like his
father, he is destitute of even ordi
nary ability. Born in the ranks of
the working class, his most likely
fate would have been that of the
street-corner loafer."

According to American athletes
competing in various European track
meets the American trainers, who
accepted positions to coach foreign
Olympic teams, are not finding the
berths as congenial as they expected.
Ernie Hjertberg, recently resigned
as athletic supervisor to the Swed-
ish teams. 1t is alleged that Hjert-
berg decided to resign because of the
lack of discipline among the Swed-
ish clubs and athletes. Strong in
f1uence has been brought to bear by
sport leaders to pursuade Hjertberg
to withdraw his resignation, now
lodged with the Swedish Olympic
committee. But this will not sue
coed, it is believed, unless the re-
fractory athletes agree to follow Or
ders.

Mr.. Knott, avowed candidate for
governor, was in Jacksonville the
other day and the Metropolis said of
him that in discussing his candi-
dacy he stated he was receiving as
surances of support from every part
of the State. y Dear old familiar
words They have doubtless come
down to us from a former generation
of candidates, for they get into ev-
cry campaign and are in the mouth
of pretty nearly every man seeking
State or federal office at the hands
of the dear people. AS to their re-
liability as a measuring rod to de-
termine a candidates chances, John
Stockton could probably unfold a
tale that would take all the comfort
out of them as bracers for an office
seeker, for they were prime faV-
orite with him during the late sena-
torial campaign. There is a fatality
connected with these words that
should warn all candidates to steer
clear of them as false beacons on an
iron-bound coast.

The weather, after a series of

greeted by a vision of fair Japan.
Japanese curtained doorways, plants,
lanterns, parasols, fans, a veritable

gorgeous kimonas, chrysanthemum

Grower, Mary Grower and Daisy

versation the guests were conducted
to the tea house. The entire house
was decorated with ported plants and
roses everywhere. All showed care
full planning but the teahouse was
the masterpiece not only adorned
with flowers a la Japan and with
attendants-O Alise San and O Flor

with its vines and transparency was
like the shops of Japan. Seated on
cushions all were served with superb

candy, ginger and finally two sorts

1T is incredible that in this ad-
vanced stage of civilization a general
European war should result from the
petty dispute between little Servia
and Austria. A century and more
ago when the chief business of Old
World nations was fighting at the
bidding of ignorant, pinheaded kings
who believed in their divine right to
rule and msrule, such an incident
as the present one might likely have
precipitated war, but nothing of the
sort will happen now. Diplomacy
will find a way out.

paying both baseball and tennis are
far greater here than in the larger
cities of the eastern States.
For instance, London, which
sets the athletic fashion for Eng
land, is infinitely superior to New
York as training ground for ath-
letics, principally because of the
hundreds of parks, called squares,
where there are tennis courts and a
large space in which to exercise or

ALCOHOL IS BLAMED
 CAUSING WHITE PLAGUE

An official report on tuberculosis has just been published by Ammroise Rendu of Paris. He notes the death from the disease in 1910 of S5,OOO per sens, or PIT per 100, 900 of the inhabi- tants.
 These deaths were mostly among young men. A curious fact is that the disease tends to diminish in Paris and increase in the suburbs. This is ex- plained by the absence in the suburbs of establishments to fight it.
 In a discussion of the report in the municipal council, alcohol was cited as the cause of the spread of the dis ease. The council adopted a resolu- ton advocating a tax on pure alcohol to help pay the cost of dispensaries and sanitariums.
