JAMES WL..TCOMB r.LEY Is PUT
IN ROMANCE JUST BEEN
WRITTEN BY MEREDITH
NICHOLSON

James Whitcomb Riley who is
now at the Hotel Halcyon of Miami
for the winter has been put in a ro-
nance. Meredith Nicholson has done
it, and concerning the book the Chi
cago Tribune says:
Personally in healing the soul
wounds of those about him has been
often and variously handled, but sell
dom with such simplicity and with
such a gratifying effect as Meredith
Nicholson has employed in THE
Poet" And for this reason James
Whitsomb Riley, 'the poet all the
people love-" can with modesty cher
ish it as one of the most superb
tributes to his life and art. That the
prototype of the fictional poet as
created by Mr.. Nicholson is the In.
diana children's poet neither. Mr..
Nicholson nor the illustrator, Frank
lin Booth, has been at pains to con-
ceal. The fastidiously dressed old
man with the boyish face and closely
cropped white hair and large tor
toise trimmed glasses in the pictures
would be recognized as Mr.. Riley by
any child above the fifth grade at
school; and though not so many os US
know much about the personal life
of Mr.. Riley most of us would mag
inc it contained just the sweetness
and light attributed to it in "The
Poet"
'sThe Poet finds his business of
romancing and ileadizing is being
hurt by the impending divorce en-
tanglements of a young couple whose
pretty love story he has immortalized
in song; he finds his friends on all
sides are cheating him, making it
appear he is false prophet and a
teacher of an outworn creed by their
constant talk of reality and "hard
| facts of life;' so in his whimsically
beautiful and unobstrusiye way he
goes about fighting the thiags that
are hurting his business. What he
achieves is delightfully."- real and vim
dication for his poetic preachings
lies in the happiness they bring to
his flock.
No mere CONNECTION, this admirable
little PASTORAL by Mr.. Nicholson, but
less has its basis in actuality. and
wholesome preachment that doubt
which the reader feels Mr.. Nicholson
is delighted to write The most har-
dened pragmatist will find considera-
bic comfort in it and unquestionably
a lot of entertainment"

DEEDS OF HERoIsM

Deeds of heroism, performed in
peace and in war, will live in song
and story as long as the world shall
last. Valor is confined to no age nor
to no nationality.
In peace we read with emotion of
the brave deeds of engineers, pilots
and firemen. With what supreme
courage the passengers on the ill-fat-
ed Titanic acted. Just little while
ago a young girl rushed into burn
ing building and rescued her infant
brother
In everyday lie needs but an oc-
casion to bring forth the most SUI
preme acts of fortitude and daring.
In war the pass at Thermopylae,
the charge at Balaklava, Horatius at
the bridge.
Those of us who live in the south
like to hear the story of Pickett's
famous charge. Says Marmaduke in
his book:
"Ah, the supreme stretches of gray
ranks and shining bayonets! All!
blood that burns at the rhythmic blink
of the serried ranks Was ever a sad
mistake more beautifully made? With
quick, elastic step, and in faultless
formation, the far-sweeping lines of
infantry burst swiftly over the hill.
And at the front rode Pickett himself,
jaunty, careless and confident, his
long red hair curling to his collar, his
caps visor in his eyes,"
So in the late battles of the Aisne
the following story has made it's way
across the water.
1t is told in the Popular Mechan-
ics:"
"A party of $50 men, guarding a
bridge across the Aisne, were fired
upon by a strong force of Germans
In an unprotected spot machine gun
was standing silent upon it's tripod
in the middle of a ring of fallen sol
diers. A lone Highlander, wearing
the costume of the Gordons, jumped
from his shelter, grabbed the gun,
swung it over his back, dashed
across the bridge, faced the Germans
and turned loose a rain of bullets.
The enemy, wavered, broke, and
scattered to cover. Almost at the in
slant the tide was turned the High
lander fell dead. Thirty bullet
wounds were in his body
We can but applaud these thrilling
acts of bravery but the pity of it all
is that so many lives should be sacri-
feed to satisfy the diseased lust of
ambition of few rulers who wickedly
believe that they rule by divine right
and are carrying out the decree of a
wise and just God.

OUR PROBLEM WHEN THE WAR
ENDS

The last issue of the Sunday World
contained gripping article giving
the views of Prof. Franklin H. Cid
dings of Columbia University, whom
the World describes as being Amer
ica's Greatest Socialist" Prof. Gid
dings' conclusions are summed up
graphically as follows:
If the allies win the nations will
remodel themselves along the lines
of national efficiency that made Ger
many so great
If Germany wins
Democracy must arm against au-
tocracy, and the United States be-
come the greatest militaristic nation
on EARTH"
That was our conclusion before
reading Prof. Giddings' interview.
But We have faith that that nation
that has lived by the sword must
perish by the sword" We are not op-
posed to Germany nor the German
people but we are opposed to the mill
'tary spirit which has dominated it
for the last forty years and is max
ing menace to the peace of the
world. We are opposed to Germany
in this struggle not because we love
Germany less but because we value
peace the more.
We must have peace!

MRS. {. H. SWAIN DIES AT AN
THONY

1t is with a great deal of pain and
regret that we announce the death OF
Mrs. e. HI. Swain at the family resi-
dence at Anthony Tuesday afternoon
after short illness with pneumonia.
The news of Mrs. SWANS illness was
only learned in Ocala a few hours
before the sad news was telephoned
in that she had passed away.
Mrs. Swain was a daughter of the
late Col. e. C. Anthony of Muncie,
Ind, who came to this county about
thirty years ago bringing with him
quite colony and settling at An
thony, which was named for him.
Mrs. Swain had lived at Anthony for
the greater part of the time since
her parents moved there from Nun
Gle. Mrs. Swain was a kindly, gen.
tie woman, greatly loved by all who
knew her. She was a devout Metho.
dist and an earnest christian worker
! In her home life she was ideal and
leaves husband, four sons and three
daughters to mourn her death.
None ever entered her home with
out warm welcome nor left without
feeling the warmth of genuine hos
pitality. Age did not destroy the
charm of kind indulgent dispo-
sition nor diminish her unselfish soli-
tude for her friends and loved ones.
Every person at Anthony and for
miles around knew and loved her and
her home for many years has been
the gathering place for many friends
and acquaintance and her benignant
presence will be greatly missed
therefrom.
Mrs. Swain was sister of the late
Samuel P. Anthony, of this city and
Port Inglis, whose death occurred
only a few weeks ago. She is also
a sister of Mr.. Charles Anthony of
Muncie.
Mrs. SWANS surviving children are
the following: Messers. Fred Swain
of Tampa, and Mr.. Earl Swain,
of Muncie, Ind, Mr.. Edwin Swain,
M. L. Young, Mrs. Jack Halton. and
Mrs. H. S. Smith, of Sarasota.
The funeral will be held after the
arrival of Mrs. SWANS children, at
$3.50 p. M, Thursday from the Metho-
dist church at Anthony.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

The time will come when states will
set too high valuation upon human
life, even that Of the criminal, than
to tolerate a law which takes the
life of a man.
The old law is a relic of an ignorant
age, when ian eye for an eye, a tooth
for tooth and a life for life were
required. 1t comes down from the
time when the children were under
provisional laws" and were being
prepared for the observance of high
err law which Christ brought into the
world
There are states now where capital
punishment has been abolished, but
the records show that the crimes
usually punished by death are not
more frequent in these states than in
others. Society, which is sought to
be protected in the punishment of
crime, has to sanction this species of
barbarism as long as capital punish
ment is practiced. The claim is made
that when society sets higher valu-
alton upon human life, then the Grim
inally inclined will do the same.
We may learn after a while that
it is not extreme penalties in rare
instances so much as it is the GER
tainty of punishment for all violations
of the law that will deter the Grim
inal. Macon, (Gal Telegraph.
