partment, simply because there was no other way to fill the need. But there are other ways to supply the other needs and there are often times me- thods of enabling the families to pa tronize regular grocery stores and pay their own bills. It is in devising these plans that our ingenuity is taxed to the limit It would be far easier to dole out groceries.
 We give emergency aid always where the need is urgent, and con- tinue so doing until the need is past, or, if it will be of long duration, until we find other societies and interested people willing to club together in pro- only this emergency aid that figures on our expense books. The later as- sistance which we secure for these families is beyond our reckoning. The expense of all that (which outweighs our little first expenditure as ten to one) appears on the account books of charitable individuals, on the lists < Of many relief societies and churches, 'on the ledgers Of many state insti- tutions, and, not on the profit, but on the loss side of the books of many lawyer, doctor. optician. etc. who has contributed his services free after hearing our plea.
 Dollar Goes Far.
 We know of place where a dollar will go farther than in organized charity, in any city, because the first emergency help always comes to a family in a time of dire extremity. and because later the, statement of person trained to look at such facts squarely, proves an open sesame to skillful, medical, legal, and optical aid, to many institutions which at least grant a reduction in price, in courtesy to our society, and to the hearts and purses of many philan- thropic people.
 Of course, contributors are at all times able to designate to the treas urer or agent exactly the way they wish their gifts used, and their money will then be used in that way and no other. A written or verbal report will be given them gladly in such in stances.
 First of all. then, We are anxious to explain why we can accom- plish big things when our bills are so modest. Secondly, these bills for emergency aid would be doubled and trebled if
 
 us goods free or at liberal discounts.
 Some of Achievements.
 Then, too. think of securing for one child admission to fine school es- pecially suited to it's needs for S650 a month; for another child expert medical treatment and board for s2O a month; for still another child a good home and adoption; and for two other individuals home in insti- tutions exactly fitting their needs, at no expense whatever! all five of these arrangements have been brought about altogether by our society within eight weeks There have been scores of lesser achievements.
 All this is nothing at nlt. to boast about, it is merely tfe Find of service we are expressly orga ,izel for; the sort of thing we. are working at every day--the selfSeyidcnt rcasci for our small expenditures Just suppose we had to pay the full charges. ourselves We should need ten times more money.

Legislation for Newspapers

1t may be well to explain that
after the committee on Legislation
appointed by the South Florida
Press Association had completed
the report to be presented at the
meeting in Jacksonville on Oct
zl-23rd prox,, the Punta Gorda
correspondent of the Tampa Tri-
bune requested a copy of it for
publication. His request was
granted on the idea that it would
be IN the nature of notice to edi-
tors and publishers as to what
subjects were embraced in the re-
port and afford them time to con
slider it before the Jacksonville
meeting. 1t was thought, also,
that the publication of the report
would awaken enough interest in
some apparently Indifferent news
paper men to induce them TO at
tend the meeting and cooperate
with members of the various press
associations in their efforts to oh
tam simple justice for Florida
newspapers.
Some of the objects contemplat-
ed IN giving out the report for
publication have been accomplisb-
ed. Some discussion has been
elected. The Tampa Tribune be.
gan it by declaring that the whole
report contemplated a newspaper

to secure the justice demanded.

Tampa Times and State officials

The Tampa Times of Saturday
last says that The Herald critics
ed it because the Times demand
ed that state officials do their du-
ty," and then it says that Clay
Crawford, Tom West and Billy
Sheats were not included in the
animadversions of the Times, but
that only Treasurer Luning and
Comptroller Knott were the sub
jects of it's injurious reflections.
The Times made no exceptions in
its previous wholesale denuncia-
tions of the state officials, referr-
ing to them as the "state-house
crowd" "tha Tallahassee ring
and other expressions indicating
the Times belief that all the state
officials were banded together to
keep themselves in office. Now,
the Times says that it has no per
sonal feeling against Luning and
Knott, but it keeps on rejecting
upon them, although the former,
at least, has made complete and
satisfactory explanation of his
supposed responsibility in con-
nection with the failure of that
Jacksonville insurance company.
The Times says that all it has de-
manded has been that Luning and
Knott do their duty. Well, hey
have done their duty and are still
doing it.

pers should be eligible for legal

Hon. w. V. Knott is long way

candidate for personal and politi-
cal reasons. The trained newspa-

proval easily. But as a rule the
papers are but an echo of public
sentiment, and this sort of advo-
cacy is also easily detected. Mr..

is with the press, which is but
voicing the sentiemnt of the great
body of voters.

THE HEART OF A FRIEND.

Broken friendship, like china, may
be repaired, but the break will always
show" says an exchange. And it is a
bit of real truth and wisdom. Friend
ship is precious thing-too precious
a treasure to be carelessly broken or
thrown away. The world handles the
word friend" lightly; its real, true,
deeper meaning is forgotten, and the
acquaintance of an hour or the chance
conner is designated by the term which
in itself bears wealth of meaning.
Your friend is the .one who appreci-
ates you-your faults as well as your
,virtues-who understands and sympa-
thizes with your defeats and victories,
your aims and ideals, your joys and
temptations, your hopes and disap-
pointments, as no one else does or can.
1t is your friend to whom you turn for
counsel, for comfort, for praise; he
may not be as learned as some or as
wise as others, but it suffices that he
understands you, and even his quiet
listening gives strength and renewed
courage. Blessed is the man or wom-
an into whose life has come the beauty
and power of such friendship.
Prize it well. Do all in your power
to keep such friendship unbroken.
Avoid the break, for when it comes it
cannot be easily mended, and the jar.

RIGoTRY.

Bigotry is a shameful and detest-
able thing. Religious rancor and ami
mostly are the heavy penalties for
forfeiting that tie of faith which once
was the common bond of Christen-
dom. Catholics, who have suffered
from bigotry, should shun and abhor
it. 1t should be their hope and
prayer that the members of different
religions should learn the lessons of
brotherly kindness, charity and
friendship which their Divine Master
has taught them. Whatever religion
man may hold, surely it is not inn
possible for that man to regard with
respect the religion which another
man sincerely processes, says the
Pittsburgh Catholic.
If it be true that any individual
Christian should believe his own re-
ligion to be the only true one, and
that all others are false, then let him
profess that religion, and, if need be,
let him defend it against all others.
But let it be in charity and with
sound reason, not with contempt and
raillery of others. To make a con-
dition of mans religion, shivering
with cold, without food to eat, when
he asks for aims is not charity. 1t is
mockery of religion.
A man asking for employment, why
should his religion interfere with his
getting a situation? With fair-dealing
Christians it should not be question
of religion, but of fitness and WORTH
ness. To make religion a disqualified
ton for Office is not only opposed to
the principles of religious equality,
and that liberty so much lauded and
so little practiced, but is persecution
for conscience sake.
All this is bigotry, which is as con-
temptible as it is unjust, and it forms
no part whatsoever with Christianity.
Bigotry is a proof of ignorance and
vulgarity. It marks the lowest type
of the man, and at the same time the
most ignorant. That which we so de-
spise in others should have no part
with us. The least attention paid to
the bigot, the better. He Graves no
toriety, and feeds fat upon it.
