Elk Bulletin No. 10-Among the
grand assembly of Elks who will
participate in the big minstrel do
ings on April 9 is Earl C. May, he
of the press department. Earl will
not disclose his birthplace, but he
is always telling what grand thing
a brick library building would be in
Pauway,so he must have tender
feeling for that noisy little burg.
Earl was enticed away from home at
the age of IL by chorus girl but
she Tilted him on account OF Wart
on his left elbow which greatly i'm
peded his speech. In later years
Earl became very close, caused
by his treatment at home in his
younger days His mother used to
give him 10 cents to go to bed early
and then charge him Is cents for
breakfast. Earl says Lakeland has
made a man out of him and if he
does by any chance sing a solo in
the minstrel he will sing that pop
ular little ballad written especially
for him by Futch & Gentry entitled
"You MAY run around for awhile
but I'll nail you in the end"

Some Of these days the Torrens
system Of registering land titles is
going to prevail all over this coun-
try and the present cumbrous. costly
and inadequate method will pass
into the limbo Of primitive things
discarded by the human race as 1t
advances in intelligence and civili-
cation. An effort to introduce the
Torrens system into Florida will be
made at the approaching session Of
the legislature. but as very few peo-
pie know anything about 1t yet and
It's adoption would overthrow ways
and customs and crude machinery
entrenched in centuries Of use, the
attempt will fail this time. But the
Torrens system is on the way and
it will arrive in due season.

Neither criticism, nor abuse, nor
prejudice can stay the onward march
Of the commission form of govern
met. Nearly every week we hear of
some city. large or small, in some
part of the United States adopting
this new system of municipal gov
eminent, and the latest to head in
that direction is st. Augustine In
this State. They are preparing to
adopt 1t in that city and there
seems to little or no opposition.
There is a growing conviction every
where that the new way makes for
efficiency and the elimination of
ward politics and politicians. and
all the wire-pulling, corruption and
graft which that implies. The COM
mission system is far from perfect
and will take on many improve
ments as time progresses. but 1t
simplifies government wonderfully
right from the start and clears the
atmosphere of the fog Of peanut
politics 80 that the people can see
every part Of the machinery and
bring to quick account those who
are not doing their duty.

SEARCHED LONG FOR HOME
Alleged Life History of Hole Used to Bolster Argument Against
 Woman Suffrage.

Everett P. Dahlgren, the millionaire opponent of woman suffrage said at a suffrage debate in Boston;
 T always declare that woman shouldn't enter politics until she's full filled her prior duties.
 "'Prior dutiesl Prior duties! So a young lady mocked me one day. What do you men mean by these ''prior duties" that you're always talk ing about, Mr.. Dahlgren?
 "So I then told the young lady this story.
 Once upon a time, began, little hole was born; and it looked around to see where 1t should take up it's abode.
 Tt first decided upon a window, but a man came straightaway and put in new pane. It next chose chair seat, but the housewife sent for a caner, and in a jiffy new seat was put in the chair The hole now selected baby's rattle, and the baby was so pleased that it began to tear the rat tie to pieces, and the poor hole, half crazed with fright, had just time to escape. It threw itself, more dead than alive, into the first thing that came to hand, which happened to be the sock of a sufrragist's husband.
 There, at last, the hole seems to have found a real home. Its peace has not been troubled from the Beginning, six months ago."

WANTS WATERMELON.

Two coIored women were talk ing about a recent funeral of a member of their race, at which funeral there had been a profu- sion of floral tributes. Said the cook:
 Oats all very we'll. Mandy, but when I dies I don't want no flowers on my grave. Jes plant a good old watermalIon vine; an when she gifts ripe you come dar an don't you eat it, but Jes bus it on de grave an let de good old juice dribble down through de ground"- Washington Star.

MINIMUM WAGE
 LAW INVALID

As the constitutional validity of Statemade minimum-wage laws has been called into ques- tion from time to time by men who gave their opinions public expression the decision of Judge Catlin of the Minnesota District Court that such a law is uncon- stitutional comes as something which many have been expect ing. from one source or another ever since the enactment of such legislation.
 The principal ground upon with the decision rests is that the law abridges the right of individuals to make contracts and is there fore in violation of that part of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. which says that mo State  shall make or enforce any. law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.
 It was always contended that a minimum wage law must have the effect of abridging the right of individuals to give their labor in exchange for such compensa- tion as they may be able to obtain and are willing to accept. As soon as minimum wage is esta- blished by law all whom force of conditions or circumstances may temporarily or always prevent from demanding or securing com pensation as high as the mini mum must remain unemployed. Thus they are deprived of the right of earning a livelihood.
 The contention of the support CTS of mlnimum-wage law is that anything less than the minimum fixed is insufficient for a llveli- hood. But is not that something to be determined by the indlvi- duals concerned? In any case there is the constitutional prin- cipIe that the privileges of indivi- duals shall not be abridged.
 Because the Constitution of the United States has been brought into this case by tbe ruling of the Minnesota court the question will probably be carried to the Federal courts. Then the United States Supreme Court will make the ulti- mate decision.

LAY CLAIM TO sPITzBEReEN
"Nobody's Island" Has Valuable Coal Deposits and Now It's
 Wanted.

That classic question, Now that you've got it, what are you going to do with it?" has applied to the island of Spitzbergen for 500 years. An American from Michigan has solved the question by working a valuable coal deposit he discovered, with the result that W. Miller Collier of Albany. N. Y, former minister to Spain, has been appointed by the state depart ment to meet delegates of the powers at Christiania, Norway, on June 16, to decide who owns the territory.
 Spitzbergen first came into promi- hence in 1886. when 1t was discovered by William Parents. Since that time it has worried along without per manent human habitation. its only visitors being fishermen and whalers and explorers.
 Since its discovery Spitzbergen has been known to have immensely valu- able coal deposits The fact that the coal can be mined only during six weeks of the year prevented it's use. An American visitor to the island de- veloped plan whereby he could mine the coal, and claimed the island in the name of the United States
 It was nobody's island. People had refused to pay taxes on it since the beginning of the world; but when the American in question found that the coal could be mined, the several na- tions adjoining and adjacent to the island put up an awful howl.
 Deeds and first mortgages dating from the month of the big wind in SAP B. C., were submitted as proof that the submitting nations owned the prop erty.
 Nathaniel Wilson, a Washington at torney, has been appointed the legal representative of the coal company formed, and in which $1,o00,OOO al. ready has been invested Mir. Collier IS now on his way to Christiania.

pIsastrous coIonIzlna Experiment..

Four years ago a Russian company undertook to establish a permanent fishing colony in Nova Zembla, and transported thither about one hundred Persons-fishermen and their families from Archangel. The colony four ished for a time and increased in numbers. It was visited at irregular intervals by vessels of the company, which supplied the settlers with pro visions and took cargoes of fish back to Russia. Last year, however, the winter set in earlier than usual and was very severe, so that vessels were prevented by the ice from carrying supplies to the fishermen. A scientific expedition which visited Nova Zem- bla last summer made the shocking discovery that the whole colony had perished of hunger.-Scientifc Ameri- can
