As the altered hands of the house

was winding UP executive business.
Speaker Clark arose at his desk and.
facing the scattered attendance on

Senate Undcmonstrative
The senate adjournment was prob
ably the most undemonstratiye in its
history. Democratic leaders and a
few republicans were sitting behind
closed doors confirming nominations
when word came that the house had
carried out the adjournment resolu-

leader, at once moved to open the

doorkeeper hurriedly set the clock

The Germans appeared al this point
to have an inexhsustible supply of
men, whom they did not spare.
Where one man fell, two seemed TO
appear TO fill the gap. The allies,
however have at their disposal fresh

formidable attack home.

OLD TOWN is IMPROVING

Savannah News: Even in Jeru
salem the feeling Of respect for what
is old is giving way before the de-
sire for modern conveniences. The
Holy City is to be lighted by cleo
tricity and street cars are to circle
about, starting from the Jaffa gate
and running to Bethlehem, to the
Mount of Olives, to Cavalry. The
great wall is to be torn away, ex-
cept probably a few towers. Those
who live thousands of miles away
from Palestine are wont to think of
of it as it was 1900 years ago and
to depreciate any effort to change it
even to having a plentiful supply of
water, but those who live there
cannot be expected TO go without
modern lighting and transportation
systems on that account. It will not
be dissertation to build a street car
line so that tourists can "see Jerusa-
lem for the Turkish equivalent of a
nickle To the reverent the Garden
of Gethsemane and the rugged brow
of Cavalry will continue to be as
holy ground as they ever were.

of the tribe which removed to the
Indian Territory seventy years ago.
The Florida Indians have no more

could acquire homesteads and quail

CLARK IN BAD COMPANY

The Star has received a copy of
the Washington Evening Post, in
which is marked editorial on canal
tolls exemption. Said editorial con-
tains the following paragraph:
Yet the line of divergence is
clearly and distinctly defined when
able democrats like Hon. William
Randolph Hearst, Senators O'Gor-
man, Ransdell and Thomas, Repre-
sentatives Underwood, kitchin, Clark
of Florida, and Doremus take their
stand squarely and firmly upon the
declaration of faith of the democrat
ic national convention and propose
to abide by that pledge to the peo-
pie"
The Star doesn't like to see the
Florida congressman lined up with
country a malicious SANDER on this
state, and refused to correct it when
given absolute proof of it's falsity.
Mr.. Clark should know, as he de-
uOuuCSu anu Gun uIGu Tie SIduuSI Oh
the floor of the House of Represen-
tatives.
The democratic party is not bound
by the little bunch of copperheads
who put the canal tolls joker in the
iplatform, but the democratic party
and the entire nation\ is bound by
/ the treaty.
The people of the United States
/ had to pay the expense of digging
the canal. They must stand for the
expense of keeping it in operation
Exemption from canal tolls will not
save the people a cent. 1t will sim.

tons honor.
Mr. Clark's constituents here
abouts do not approve Of his posi-
ton on this question.

MAKE THE CHILDREN
DANGEROUS TO MOTORISTS

Life gives some good advice in
the following:
The automobiles are running down
too many people, and especially too
many children.
1t is seldom a good defense for
chauffeur that child ran in his
way If he could not see the child
before hand, he is excusa BILE. If the
child was in sight, it was his look
out to get past it safely.
A young child is not responsible.
If it is loose in the street nobody
can tell which way it will run The
rule for chauffeurs must be to look
sharp, slow up, and have their ma
chimes under perfect control when
approaching children.
The chauffeur is responsible. Hold
him to his responsibility.
The automobiles are dangerous to
children; that is obvious. Make it
at least equally obvious that child
rem are dangerous to automobiles.
| That can be done by such an atti-
| tude of the courts as will make the
whole order of chauffeurs see a red
| flag on every child.
The great thing to accomplish is
to impress deeply on the minds oil
chauffeurs that children are danger
Gus and that it does not pay to take
/ 81 with than all
/ Perhaps Mr.. Secretary of New
York State May, who recently dis
cussed this matter at the meeting o
the Woman's Political Study Clu'
in New York, needs to have thi
truth impressed upon his mind also

A dispute is on between the cru
respondents A dispatch in the Times
said so per cent of the population of
Brazil is negro. The correspondent
disputed the statement, but the
Times backs it up with editorial au-
Shority The Star thinks 80 per
cent is too large a. proportion to al
Iege for the negroes of Brazil, con-
sidering the fact that the greater
part of that immense country, which
is over three million square miles in
extent, is yet tenanted by unmixed
and mostly untamed Indian tribes.
The Star is also acquainted with a
in Brazil. who say that part of the
country they are familiar with
Rio and the territory in three or
four hundred miles of it-has no
larger a proportion of negroes than
South Carolina or Louisiana. But
there is no doubt that good-sized
majority of the people are either ne
groes or Of mixed blood. The rea-
son that the Star refers to this is that
the All-wise Times-Union was, few
weeks ago, holding UP Brazil as an
example of steady Latin-American
government and insisting that Pres
ident Wilson ask its aid, with thai
Of Chile and Argentine, in pacifyinl
Mexico. Judging from the dis
patches of the last few days, which
report a good-sized revolution in on'
of the Brazilian states. the big
southern country may soon neet
pacifying itself The Star must sa,
that it has always had more respec
for Great Britain, France or Ger
many than for any mongrel nation
American, European or Asiatic, an
whenever the United States need
advice or assistance, it had bette
turn TO those who have weight i
the councils of the world

PROMISE AND PERFORMANCE

The Star presents on its first page
today the features OF one Of the dis
tinguished gentlemen who represent
the state in the upper house Of Con-
gress-Senator Duncan L. Fletcher.
In the five years since he took his
seat, he has we'll served the interest
and upheld the honor of Florida.
And in this regard, the following
from the Times-Union. written on
general principles, applies particu-
larly to Senator Fletcher:
The people OF Florida employed
number of public servants two
years ago. If their service has been
satisfactory they should be retained.
Let we'll enough alone is a good
maxim but be sure it is we'll enough
But if there are any public servants
employed two years ago who have
not rendered satisfactory service,
they should not be re-employed An
unfaithful employee should not be
re-employed nor should an incapable
one. 1t would be a great mistake
to put an untried man in a place
that is desired by one who has given
good service, but it would be mis-
take equally as great to retain in
position a failure when a man might
be employed who would do the work
well. In short, the presumption is
as strong in favor of the unknown
man as compared with one who has
been tried and found wanting as it
is against him as compared with one
who has been tried and found en-
tirely satisfactory. Beware of hum
bugs. Humbugs are not honest. If
a man makes impossible claims of
what he will accomplished if en-
plOyed, he is trying to deceive the
people, and when an applicant for
position tries to deceive the people
it is for his own good-not for
theirs. The gold brick artist should
not be trusted. He is probably not
capable except in his own interests.
He is certainly not faithful except to
his own interest. If any OF the men
employed two years ago told of the
wonderful things he would do if
employed, see if he has done them.
If he laid out a remarkable pro-
gram of usefulness and has lived up
to it, the people have got a jewel,
and should keep it. If his elaborate
program Of usefulnesssis found lack
ing in the eXecution-if he promised
much and did nothing, the people
bought a gold brick very thinly plat
| ed two years ago, and should not
! buy it again. The truth is, there
are not very many men in Florida
| who unaided can turn the world
! over Or set the Atlantic ocean on
! fire, and it is safe to look with
/ suspicion on any applicant who
promises to do either of these
stunts"

There is a CHASTITY roster Of thirty
two dead, as a result of the Missouri
Athletic Club fire in st. Louis Mon
day morning. Several of the victims
we're among the most prominent bus
mess men of the city and we'll known
all over the country. The st. Louis
fire chief had warned the owners of
the building that it was unsafe, and
it is to be hoped that they will be
prosecuted The avarice that ex-
poses and so often costs human life
is very little better than cold-blooded
murder.

We notice that at the meeting of
the democratic county executive
committee of DuvaI county in Jack
sonville last Saturday, Pleasant A.
Holt, a member of the committee,
introduced a resolution urging upon
the state committee that it pass a
resolution providing that only white
democrats will be allowed to vote in
the democratic primary. Didn't We
see something recently in a Jackson
vile paper called Dixie to the effect
that this Mr.. Holt was trying to Sc
cure the registration Of Jacksonville
negroes to vote in the democratic
primary How does the undoubted
fact that Mr.. Holt introduced the
above resolution consist with the
story in Dixie ?-Lakeland Tele-
gram
Dixie allowed its personal i'll will
for Holt to override its spirit of
fairness.
