Denver. Sept. 1i.-The close con
test between f. v. Brake and r. NJ.
Hunter for the Democratic nomination
for secretary of state apparently Is
ended, with Brake having secured the
greater number OF votes. Returns from
only two counties were missing and
both are believed to have cast a very
light vote. They are Baca and Rio
Grande counties. Brakes total vote,
based upon the present incomplete
figures, is 1896, and Hunter has re-
ceived 1895. The s81 vote lead which
Brake has is not sufficient to cause
Hunter to concede the nomination to
Brake and he Will wait until the Off
cial canvass Of the returns has been
made before admitting defeat.
The Republican contest between AL
lison Stocker and L. c. Greenlee has
not changed materially. St6cker still
leads with the narrow margin of 2G1
votes. His total Is HOGS, to Green
lees 1G.lSS.
Charles Leckenby retained his ad-
vantage over T. d. Foster for Demo
cratic nomination for auditor and his
nomination now is assured. The total
vote for this office Is: Leckenby, 49,
7G6; Foster. 17,482.
Upon the final announcements of the
state canvagsing board and the Denver
elections commission depend the re.
suits OF these contests in the primary
election which still remain in doubt.
Employees OF the election commission
worked hard yesterday to complete the
official totals of the party votes In
the city. Until they are made public
today 1t will not be known whether
Benjamin Hilliard or George Allan
Smith received the Democratic nomi,
nation for congressman from Denver.
At last accounts Hilliard was in the
lead by 3 votes.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
ORGANIZED

The girls of the Lakeland High
school met in chapel this morning
and organized for the first time a
Girls Athletic Association.
Heretofore the girls have content
ed themselves with a few scattering
games, played with various teams
over the State. Their record was a
clean slate last year, and with the
enthusiasm evinced this morning it
is safe to predict that L. II. S.
will have the best basketball team
in its history. The plan is to play
as many games as possible, thereby
putting themselves in line for the
championship of the State.
This honor was only lost by the
of one game last year, and
this year both the boys and girls
teams expect to bring the Eonors to

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR
IN OCTOBER

Greetings have recently been sent
to the great conventions in New
Jersey and New York, and the an
nual anniversary celebration of
Maryland Endeavors. From Mr..
Nuessle, the longtime introduction
superintendent in New Jersey came
this message: Greetings from the
annual 2Sth state convention in
Jersey City. Although the sun is
hidden behind the clouds outside we
are having the light of another
shining in our midst making every
thing bright" In the three conven-
tions almost here in Florida we are
apt to have much sunshine, but we
need that other kind of warmth anr
comfort just like New Jersey COM
rades do.
A nice program is made for Ia

the good time for southwestern
workers in St. Petersburg; and yet
one week later, the trio of conven-
lions closes in Sanford. One espec-
tally nice feature here is that the
convention sermon Sunday morning
in the Congregational church is to
be preached by the Presbyterian
pastor, Rev. E. D. Brownlee. This
is getting right down to the heart
Of real Endeavor living.

veterans who fought each other in
that conflict. We have seen these
old fellows who wore the blue and
the gray and who had the good for
tune to be gentlemen, equipped with
tact and consideration, mingle with
each other for hours at time in
friendly intercourse; discuss the
war without passion and in kindly
spirit; tell funny stories till the
tears came; careful, as gentlemen
always are, to say never a word
that would wound the feelings of
a former foe, and part as friends
glad to meet again, each with a new
and truer vision Of the motives of
the other side and with hearts puri-
fled of the poisonous hates and un-
reasoning prejudices of the great
conflict. And all because they had
tact, which cleared the atmosphere
and revealed their better selves.

Why And How
War Started

Everybody has been explain
ing how the war in Europe
started, but thus far the most
lucid description OF the causes,
remote and direct, has been
furnished by the Glen Elder
Sentinel, a paper out in Mitchell
county, Kansas. The Sentinels
version is to this purpose:
Gas we understand it, a Ser
Wan Socialist who was partly

killed an Austrian noble and his
noble escort. Austria, observ-

how, you'd make fine father

says. Think again, you big

THE GROWING MENACE
Of THE TOUGH KID

The tough kid" is recognized as
one of the menacing problems of
modern life. He is in every com.
munity, and wherever he is, except
when he's asleep, he is a focus Of
evil. corrupting his young asso-
ciates and headed for a worthless or
worse than worthless career as in
evitably (barring the saving grace
of Cod as effect follows cause.
He must not be confounded with
the lively, boisterous boy full Of
"pranks," who sometimes works off
his steam" at the expense of our
nerves and sense of propriety and
the fitness of things, for the two
are as wide apart as decency and de-
pravity. The latter outgrows his
noisy prankishness and occasional
rudeness, under firm parental ad-
monition, and develops into the in
telligent, law-abiding, self-respect-
ing citizen almost as certainly as
the other grows and hardens into
the brutalized hoodlum with no true
sense of right and wrong or civic
duty, despises all moral and legal
restraint, has all the bad habits he
can take on and none of the good
ones, and thus equipped makes
wretched failure of his life and is
lucky If he dies in bed with his
boots off.
The tough kid is the germ of the
worlds biggest and hardest prob
lens, for he is a bad man Gin the
making" and without the bed men
this would be such a pleasant world
that most Of us would want to live
forever. We are moved to these SAL
utary reflections on vita; question
by a communication in the Gaines
vile Sun, written by a citizen there
who says:
1T is burning shame the way
great big boys are allowed to con-
duct themselves right here in town
and there seems to be no way to
put check on it. Take my own
case for instance: 1 send my chill
dren to the store frequently, and my
Oldest is girl about ~, and large
for her age. Often those boys along
the street will demand a toll of a
penny from my children, threaten
ing not to let them pass if the
money is not forthcoming. o.
course the girl has to refuse, AVA
then they curse her and black
guard her worse than anything that
a decent person can think"
This is horrible condition of af-
fairs in a civilized community and
1t would seem that such vermin
could be spotted and brought to
punishment. Well may the Gaines
Vile Sun say in comment:
Can it be true, o men and wom-
en- of Gainesville, that a condition
so fearfully awful as this can exist |
right under our own eyes, as it
were! Suppose it was your daugh
ter, what would you say?"
