NO BEER FOR HER CHAUFFEUR.

A certain St Louis brewer has a
number of autos. one Of which is set
apart for the exclusive use of his wife.
Mrs. Brewer. being reading and an
observing woman, knows something of
the nature and effects of the stuff her
husband manufactures and will not
employ a chauffeur who drinks that
or ony other kind of alcoholic liquor.
Safety first" is her policy-that is.
personal safety, We venture to say
that neither husband nor wife feel
happy when they permit themselves to
think of the destruction which follows
in the wake of the brewing business.

sTRAUB's SERMON

Straub of the St. Petersburg Times
is against sermonizing on the Clear
water tragedy. However, he makes
some remarks on the incident that
are much more to the point than the
average sermon ever goes. In it he
says:
Most of the newspaper sermons"
have had as their text (of course)-|
'sThe wages of sin is death" And yet
no one of them has given that text a
true application to the crime, which
in fact would be really impossible.
The death" referred to is not of the
physical body but of the spiritual.
The mother, reputed pure Christian
woman, although taken without warn
ing Is presumed to have passed to
Christians reward. The poor Girl,
taken without either warning or
preparation, by the same token is pre-
sumed to have reaped "the wages of
sim indeed-the death" of the soul.
But the Mani If he should be proved
guilty and should receive the penalty
of the law of this world-if he should
first repent, confess and make the re-
quired preparation he too would pass
on to the remark of true Christian.
The Girl alone of the three would
| have received ''the wages of SIM
And another editorial Sermon"
says of the situation that resulted in
the crime:
"And as long as red blood runs in
the veins of men and the clothes of
women are designed by voluptuaries,
it will be not rare, but common"
And it further relates the editor
having often seen the Girl on the
streets of Tampa, apparently as in
nocent of face as a babe in arms, f"
but in ga charm of dress that follow
ed the dictates of fashion"
As the Man was not responsible for
the "red blood" that may have been
in his veins, and the Girl of course
was responsible for dressing after the
dictates of fashion," this editorial
sermon" as between the Man of for
Ity-three and the Girl of nineteen puts
the blame wholly upon the Girl. And
this when the editor, who is highly
educated writer, knows that during
each one of the last six thousand
years no matter what her form of
dress has been-and it has been of
every conceivable form-this same
charge has been made by Man
} against Woman for an offense in
which in the first of every instance
he has been the aggressor.

AN INTERESTING PAPER

Mr.. Louis Long, proprietor of the
Ocala House, was showing his friends
the other day an interesting copy of
the New York World printed in 1885.
The most interesting feature of the
paper, from a local standpoint, was
the fact that the entire first page was
taken up with an advertisement of
one of the fraudulent land companies
of New York, which was exploiting a
"city" out in the pine woods, near
Leroy, Fla, the population of which,
as long ago as that must have been
$4,000 judging by the plat and de-
scription in the ad, but even the site
of which is now gone from the men,
DRY of man.
The paper also contained a two
page write-up with crude and Ito US
of this day. comical illustrations of
the first great blasting work on the
rocks of the famous He'll Gate chan
mel through which ships had to pass
TO reach New York City, and where
so many vessels formerly came to
grief.

Our always chivalrous contempor-
airy, the Columbia State, says that in
case the United States IS forced into
war, it wants our country to fight
fair. The Star disagrees with the
State. If we have to fight, it wants
our country to do anything and ev-
ervthing to save it owns people and
destroy its enemies. Taking a leaf
out of Germany's book, the Star
thinks it win be right and proper and
highly advisable to dose our enemies
with hellfire, if it be possible to do so.
We want to draw the line 1T one place,
however. We do not think it would
be advisable or permissible or even
excusabIe to kill women and child
ren, even to save our own men. We
would rather see our country lose
than win by such crimes as sinking
the Lusitania.

1t is not to be wondered at that at
tempts to take Frank from the Geor-

been reported, and it would not be
wonderful if such an attempt was
made and succeeded. There are
enough guards at Milledgeville to
control the prisoners, but not enough
to resist a mob of 500 men from out
side. If such an attempt was made,
and succeeded, the men concerned in
it would everlastingly disgrace their
state.

About the most sensible thing done
in the way of national defense is the

soon put into active use devices that
would be worth more than five mill
