Though as yet the vorld-old mater
Holds big snowdrifts on her lap.

With a good and silent grace;
We can easy bear the burden

But nothing could us daUut,
For we were sugar making

We scraped the snow crust neatly.
To spread the varnish thin,
Till a - hunk of pork was needed
To hold the cauIdron in.
We did the trick by sprinting,
Though chillhlains pinched our toes.

Throws shadows long and gaunt,

There has been incorporated at Al
bany, y. Y, national body whose en-
deavor will be to get people to sit up
and stand up straight Its name is
the American Posture league
The new organization is concerned
particularly with the sitting and stand
ing postures of children in schools and
of adults in shops, offices, factories and
elsewhere. 1t hopes to effect more
general use of scientific and healthful
principles in seating accommodations
for such purposes and for public au-
dience rooms and vehicles
A child cannot achieve proper chest
development" is the authoritative
statement. while the shape of his
school seat and Of his coat forces him
for many hours each day into faulty
attitudes. Thousands of children who
carry heavy loads of schoolboOks are
forced into distortions of posture that
in all hut the most robust must have
| a serious effect on health and develop
! ment. Round shoulders are to be ex-
| pected in a child whose clothing is sup

Standards Have Been Lacking.
No organized attempt to standardize
these various conditions has ever been
made before. Individual orthopedic
surgeons and in a few instances spe.
cial commissions have attempted i'm.
provemcnts. but the skill and iudG.
mcnt Of the experts have never been
combined in united effort. The new
American Posture league includes IN
it's membership leading orthopedic
surgeons. physical trainers aud cduca-
tors who have specialized on these
| subjects.
The league hopes by systematic cdu
cation TO establish a demand for
hcaHhful standards in what may be
termed posture engineering. 1t is in
touch with several organizations OF
workers engaged in the standing occu
pations aud will issue official bule
tins for their benefit.
Bulletins taking mp the various
phases of school and factory hygiene
that affect posture and making con
structive suggestions will also be is

The State press is commenting
freely upon the libel suit for $780,
600 against the Pensacola Journal :
That paper in the interest of the tax
payers printed certain things which
seemed to get half-hitch on parties
who had a contract with the city or
county, we forget which, for doing
certain work, and said parties think
they have been injured in their feel
ings, their reputation and their
psychology and suffered mental an
guish to an extent that. calls. for
$4,000 of journal money to cure
the wound. Our libel laws seem more
designed to foster and encourage the
damage suit industry than to protect
innocent people against injury by
the press, and the Sanford Herald
expresses a general conviction
among newspaper men when it says:
1T is up % the State press at the
next meeting to frame few bills
for the protection of newspaper men
against the insidious methods of the
grafters who now hide behind the
laws that allow the editors to be
hailed into court without chance at
retaliation

the late Senator Bacon, of Geor-
gia, who died Saturday, was almost
the last of the old timers in the
Senate and during his nearly twenty
years of service there he proved
himself capable and courageous
statesman. He was not brilliant,
but he was honest, learned sensible
and conservative and there was new
er the suspicion of unworthy mo-
tives or low selfseeking in anything
he did. He was in the best sense a
useful public servant and in his pri-
vate no less than his public life he
was an admirable example to all his
colleagues. Georgia has had more
brilliant men in the Senate, but new
er orc more devoted to her interests,
and the Senate itself never had a
member who more worthily and
sturdily maintained its best tradi-
tions.

From the vigor and zeal displayed
by Bro. John c.. Trice in sending
out literature to some of the Florida
papers designed to show that the sa
loon is too good an institution to be
abolished by the people of Florida,
we suspect that the liquor dealers
in this State are apprehensive of an
other Statewide prohibition cam
paign and are trying to educate the
ignorant masses in advance of that
calamity, Or perhaps it is feared
that the next Legislature may put a
few more crimps in the saloons and
public sentiment is to be educated
against such cruelty. Revolutions
never go backward, John.

PEELED to spend so much of their

patronage; but there seems to be no
escape from it, for the appointive Of

IT WILL NOT HURT
SENATOR FLETCHER

No paper in the State would more
unqualifiedly denounce any attempt
to register negroes to vote in Demo-
cratic primaries than the Telegram,
but we know the game of politics
too we'll to take snap judgment
where grave charges are made and
we always wait until all the facts
are in before expressing an opinion
When Dixie charged that P. A.
Holt of Jacksonville was seeking to
secure the registration Of negroes in
/ that county to vote in the Demo
cratic primary presumably for the
nomination of Senator Fletcher, we
waited until Mr.. Holt could be heard
from, for the story was unreasonable
and we knew that Dixie was the en-
envy of Senator Fletcher and was
doing it's best to defeat him. Mr..
Holt has spoken; we published his
I letter recently in the Telegram, and
as we suspected from the first, he
has shown himself absolutely inno-
cent OF any purpose to outrage de-
cency and defeat the candidate of
his choice by seeking to register ne
sroes in Jacksonville to vote as Dem
ocrats or to vote at all
Dixie is mighty smart paper anil
it knows how to play politics, but
it's obvious effort in this case to hurt
the cause Of Senator Fletcher by the
Holt episode will make more votes
for the senator in the end than it
will make votes against him. The
masses always resent unfarness and
they will be fully informed before
this campaign ends Of the adroit ef-
fort to strike below the belt at Sen
ator Fletcher by seeking to create
the impression in his party that ne
gro Republicans were being regis
tered to secure his nomination. Mr..
Holes letter utterly destroys any
substance in the charge end leaves
its authors without any case in
court,
And in this connection the tone
OF Mr.. Hollis letter is to be strongly
commended. 1T goes right to the
facts in the case, avoids offensive
personalities although he had mach
provocation to lose his temper, and
in calm and temperate language an
swcrs the charges and answers them
thoroughly On this point the Ocala
Star well says:
THE Star must say of Pleasant
Holt that he knows how to play the
game. The charges brought against
him in the last few days would have
caused one of these small fry poll
ticians to throw forty fits. The Star
is always well pleased to meet pub
lie men who can zeal with public,
questions in a public, not in per-
sonal, manner"

to the fact that in anti-bellum years

just that kind of man and wants to
know what reason there is why we
shouldn't keep him in the Senate.

WINTER BARLEY SUPPLEMENTS
A FAILING CORN CROP.

In only one year out OF the last four
Kentucky produced a good corn crop.
The 1911 crop was very small, the 1913
practically failure, and 1914 promises
@ smaller crop than In any OF he four
years. The failure Of the crop this
year following the scant crop Of last
year will seriously affect the live stock
interests Of the State. Indeed II is
probable that the growth of the indus
try has already been greatly checked.
While II is earnestly to be hoped
that next year will be more favorable
for corn production than the past few
have been, there is no assurance that
such will be the case. The records OF
the Weather Bureau show that dry
years are just as liable to be followed
by dry years as by more favorable con-
ditions. In other words, nature does
not compensate for dry year by wet
one. This has been pretty well illus
trated right here In kentucky.
Although corn will undoubtedly al
ways remain the most important feed
crop OF the State. the repeated failures
