Possible Chance

young man who last month re-
ceived his diploma has been looking
around successfully for a position,
employment and a job. Entering an
office the other day he asked to see
the manager, and while waiting for
that gentleman to become disengaged
he said to the office boy:

ing here for a college graduate?"

In Demand,

A Louisville man tells of an incident
during the sessions held in his city of
Sunday school convention with dele
gates from all the states. In answer
to the roll-call of the states reports
were verbally given by the various
state chairmen. When Texas was
called a big man stepped into the aisle
and in stentorian tones exclaimed
I'VE represent the imperial state of
Texas. The first white woman born
in Texas is still living-she has now
a population of over three million"
Whereupon a voice from the gallery
cried out in clarion tones Send that
woman to ldaho-we need her."

Electricity suppIan.s charxomen.

Machinery has now invaded the
field of charwoman, says the London
Daily Mirror. for an electric scrub
bling machine has just come into use.
1t is a little pushcart, supplied with
electric power through a cable con-
nected with a lamp socket.
The operator simply pushes it over
the marble floor and controls its
operations by levers on the cart
handle. A set of brushes revolve on
the floor, while little stream OF
water trickles down through them
from a tank.
Powdered soap is fed to the water
in easily-regulated amounts As the
cart is pushed ahead the dirty water
is swept up TO pipe and a little
pump sucks 1t up from the floor.

1T WAS THEREFOR INTENDED

The new primary law will weaken
the democratic party. We know many
men who would vote for John Stock
tol in the primary, if they were per-
mitted to do so: who are not demo-
Gratis, but they will not obligate
themselves to vote the whole ticket.
This new law will result in forcing
the other parties in Florida to unite,
and when they do the democratic
party will have no Walk-over. IN
telligent people from the north are
coming to Florida very rapidly, and
they will not be driven by any such
law. The law will enable the reac-
tionary to secure a certain class of
voters that otherwise might scatter.
But it will surely breed more indie
pendents than anything that has ever
been done in the history of our state.

We hate to differ with you, George
but the results you fear are some oil

ocrat tries to carry out such tactics
he should be defeated. We want tn.

POLITENESS NECESSARY
IN THE PRIMARIES

The present campaign has started
off very well. The few candidates
who have been announced so far
have been polite to each other and it
is to be hoped that the pace they
have set will be maintained thru the
campaign.
The primary campaign of two
years ago was remarkable for its
bitterness and the mud singing spir-
il manifested in it was something of
a justification to the few old-fashion-
ed gentlemen who sincerely prefer
the convention plan 1t is true that
hundreds of republicans voted in the
primaries, and some of the candi-
dates were republicans in policy, but
most of these failings will be elimi-
mated this year, and it is to be hoped
that the abuse will be even scarcer
1t is ridiculous, when one comes to
think of it, that men who by going
into primary pledge themselves to
help each other in the general cleo
ton, should display such partisan
animosity in the prior contest. Let
Us try and remember this year that
we are selecting our own candidates
ard not trying to defeat those of an
other party.

WILL HOLD THE
TRIBUNE 4 WHILE

Two or three times recently the
Star has advised it's illustrious
friend, the Tampa Tribune, to inves-
tigate a little before firing a broad
side at mark that might be in
some other place. We think the
following from the Jacksonville
News will hold the Tribune a while:
The following editorial is taken
from the Tampa Tribune:
The Ocala Star a few days ago
called the attention of the Tribune
to the charges made that the jack
sonville city prison farm was in an
abominable condition, that the pris-
toner's were mistreated and a sweat
box in operation. The Stars pur-
pose was to offer an instance of a
publicly conducted prison open to
the criticisms that have been made
of the convict lease system.
The Tribune begs to refer the
Star to the report of Mayor Swearin
gen, of Jacksonville, who made thoro
Investigations of the city prison farm
and found the charges almost en-
tirely untrue. None of the abuses
alleged were found to exist. The
Mayor says the farm is a great
credit" to the city and zone which
any citizen should be proud Of
. The Sta rwill have to cite better
evidence than the charges against
the Jacksonville prison farm to help
out its case in behalf of the lease
system
The Tampa Tribune's motive in
printing this is not to be questioned,
for it is a newspaper that compels re-
spect But the Tribune secured its
facts from an unreliable source. 1t
is quoting the statement which
Mayor Swearingen did not make, al
though it was credited to him.
The mayor found that the prison
ers were insufficiently clothed. The
fact that on the following day under
wear for the prisoners, shoes and ad-
ditional Jumpers" were purchased
speaks for his finding. Instructions
We're issued that no key was to be
turned upon the convicts at that
farm, for the reason that the build
ings were of wood and a fire at night
would most probably have meant a
horror that would have shocked the
state. 1t has been just few days
since report was printed that more
than a dozen negro women had "es-
capped" The facts are that the wom-
en- were released, or allowed to leave.
The understanding is that Judge An
derson will not send any white wom-
| en- there, and no more negro women
except in extreme cases, till adequate
| quarters for the detention of females
have been completed. Other changes
| have been made there. Would it be
expected that the prison authorities
would put on an exhibition of cruel
treatment for the benefit of the may
or and other authorities who visited
the farm a week ago."

AN EUGENIC ALLIANCE
Showing that the Best Laid Plans
OF Scientists and Lawmakers
Gang Aft A-gley

When John and Jane were married
by
Eugene Parson Brown,
The news of it was carried by
The papers of the town
With photographs of Jane and job
And editorial comment on
A union that complied with science
And set mere fashion at defiance.
Indeed a more eugenic match,
With two more perfect mates,
1t had been very hard to catch
In these United States.
Eugenic Parson Brown declared
OF all the young folks he had paired
They we're, it could not be debated,
Most thoroughly certifcated
: spades a spade and one AMI one
Are two, and then are three,
Nor John nor Jane would ever shun
Their obvious dutee
The papers photographed the treas
ure,
With Parson Brown (to give good
measuret,
And said an age of neurasthenics
Was shamed by such applied eugenics
This perfect infant, strange to say,
Surprised his pa and ma
By showing symptoms, plain as day,
OF kleptomania
The truth developed fast. In fine,
He'd no idea of mine and thine.
Probation did it's best and failed
At twenty-one the chap was jailed.
For though the fact was long forgot
An ancestor of Jane
Had been about as tough a lot
AS ever prigged a chain.
A nimble fingered, lusty lad,
Who went completely to the bad,
And in the galleys had to row
Two hundred years or more ago.
And as for John, an ancestress
In 1893
Had worn the current prison dress
For careless thievery.
| Which tendency was carried on,
A latent trait in honest John,
Until it met the trait in Jane
And thus produced thief again.
! In which a moral We may see;
Though well for conversation,
Our knowledge of heredity
Has yet no firm foundation.
! If John and Jane had not been wed
| But married otherwise instead,
The chances are the state would lacl
AT least one kleptomaniac.

Under the new primary election
law, every man who wants to vote
must register and he must do it in
person.
Not only that, but he must register
within the next seven weeks or he
cannot register at all. The books
will be closed to him after Monday,
March End.
No matter how many times you
have been registered before, or how
long your name has been on the reg
istration books that does not count
now.
The registration books are now
open in every voting precinct N the
state and every citizen has an oppor-
tCnity to register. If he fails to do
so, it will be his own fault.
Don't forget also that you must go
personally TO the officer in charge of
the books and write your name in
the books. You can't tell somebody
30 do it for you. 1t must be done by
you personally.
