LITTLE SYMPATHY FOR ITALY.

Ii will be no easy task to sympathize
with Italy in the misfortunes that her
rush into war will bring upon the
land. Misery will come, beyond Il
doubt, if the nation chooses to fight
despite all the efforts of the peace
advocates.
In the case of almost every other
belligerent government, it has been
possible to feel that the present strug-
gle was reluctantly begun. Each pow
er has gone to much trouble to
strengthen that idea. This cannot be
said in any sense of Italy, for the
whole world has seen the country
looking at every little act with the eye
of one wanting in the war.
When the fighting is begun, no
doubt. Italy will have cause to praise
its great army. She also, if her eX-
perience is like the experience of 9TH
er warning nations, will have cause
to mourn the death of many young
men. Homes will be stricken and many
OF the nations most promising youth
will be killed Those who are left
at home will be called upon to weep
for those who will leave never to re-
turn.
As has been said, it will be a hard
matter for us to feel keen sympathy
for the distreSsed-w insisted upon
suffering. 1t will not be possible 10
mourn for those who rushed madly in
the fight. We can but regret the mad
ness that causes humanity to brine
disaster upon itself, but we cannot
feel real pity.

KILLING HER BEATTY.

Columbia had her Cleanup Day
with all its enthusiasm and good re.
suits. Now, before summer has start
ed even, there are places where weeds
have been allowed to grow knee high.
These ragged parkways and vacant
lots kill the beauty of town quicker
than anything else. Columbia likes to
claim herself a beautiful town, and
on the whole the residence property
is kept up in a manner to justify the
claim. But as long as the vacant lots
and parkways are allowed to go to
seed she cannot have any true claim
to beauty.

LOCATING QUOTATIONS.

We are familiar with many quota
tions. We come across them daily in
our reading. We loose them from our
own tongues on every occasion. Yet
We are likely to find ourselves deplor-
ably ignorant when we try to locate
them.
You may have two guesses as to who
said Coming events cast thei:
shadows before" Burke" is your
first guess. Burke said most every
thing else in his speech on concilia-
ton, but he didn't say that at has
a martial ring" you ruminate
"it must be Scott" No, it is not, but
you are getting warm. Thomas Camp
bell said it in Lochiel's Warning.
Perhaps you will do better on this
one. Who said
10, the poor Indian, whose un-
tutored mind,
Sees God in clouds or hears him in
the wind?"
Bryant" you say. 1t sounds as if
it might be an after attack of
Thanatopsis, but it is not. Alexander
Pope said it.
Now do you know who said "The
tocsin of the soul, the dinner bell?" 1t
was the aesthetic, cynical Byron. The
man who refused to live with his new
ly-wedded bride because he could not
bear to see her eat,
Once more, 60 you know who said
"All mankind loves a lover?" Shake
spere," you guess. You guess wrong.
1T must have been Lovelace then"

The Open Column
knowing the Limit.

Editor The MissOurian Have you
ever gone to a banquet and listened
To three straight hours of speeches
Did you notice how trembly your
limbs were and how light your head
fit when you left the banquet? And
the trouble is that the speakers never
know the limit of a speech. They
know the limit of human endurance
and they push the speech to the rag
ged edge. Gladstone would find diff
Guilty in holding an audience an hour,
yet the amateur speech maker filings
phrases at his helpless audience an
hour and fifteen minutes.
Nor is the banquet the only place
where persons are talked into coma
tose state. The average minister new
CT knows the limit of a sermon. He
might save many souls during the
first twenty minutes of his sermon,
but another fifteen minutes of talking
lcses them
A speaker entertains his audience
alf an hour. He sees they are inter
ested; so he feels he can push their
endurance a trifie further Another
fifteen minutes and persons begin to
trail out of the room. 1t is really
not bad manners on their part. They
re eached the limit of human endurance
before the speaker learned the limit
of his speech.
Truly knowing the limit of a speech
Is a gift from the gods. w

ANOTHER OCTOPUS HATcHED.

There's a trust being born which
does not come under the Sherman
act, but nevertheless, needs looking
into. Yucatan reports the organiza-
ton of a $1O0,000,000 concern to
control the sisal hemp crop of the
states of Yucatan and Campechi.
The purpose, it is said, "is to as
sure stability of price and stop spec
ulation." Sounds real Wall streetish,
doesn't it? Don't overlook the fact
that this country depends almost abb
solutely upon those Central Amer
lean states mentioned for its supply
of that very essential commodity,
binding Irvine.
It would be shocking to have for
eign octopus fasten its tentacles
about Uncle Sam just as he is getting
loose from the clutches of those at
home.

It breaks down our courage. Il
we think that evil pursues us, then
no effort is worth while. We become
undecided and inactive. We fail to

bring success. Or our first failure
paralyzes us.

also own a mascot. Thinking sue

SOME FORMS OF
RHEUMATISM CURABLE

Rheumatism is a disease character
lied by pains in the joints and IN the
muscles. The most common forms
are: acute and chronic rheumatism
rheuamtic headaches, sciatic rteuma-
tism and lumbago. All of these types
can be helped absolutely by applying
some good liniment that penetrates
An application Of Sloan's Liniment
two or three times a day TO the affect
ed part will give instant relief. Sloan's
Liniment is good for pain, and espe-
ciaIly rheumatic pain, because it pen

MAXWELL MADE 1T
IN So MINUTES
Fast Run from st. Augustine to the
South Jacksonville Ferry

dSt RuH iEOm ot- augustine 20 Lne
South Jacksonville Ferry
The elapsed time of So minutes and
80 seconds was the record run made
yesterday from St. Augustine to the
South Jacksonville ferry by Bob
Shat kleford in a Maxwell stock tour
ing car.
And it all happened because of a
conversation which previously had
run as follows:
81 tell you Bob, it can't be done in
less than an hour. Why, Harvey Car
men did his best this spring and that
was one hour and seventeen minutes,
so you could not hope to beat that in
a life time. There is a stretch of
along about fonr miles from South
Jacksonville that will drive you into
fow. gear the minute your car touches
it."
This was the arcument that might
have been heard N the Seminole ho-
tel few evenings n~o. Most of the
boys had been over the thirtv-seven
miles between South Jacksonville and
st. Augustine. However,, "Bob'
Shackleford, the Maxwell dealer at
Lake City and a representative from
the Maxwell factories said they
would take a chance with any old re-
cord.
After a little arguing back and
forth it was decided that Bob and a
representative of the Maxwell fac
tory who is in town this week were
to try to break the record in a Max
well touring car.
Yesterday afternoon the tenders
and windshield and top were removed
from the car which has been doing
the gasoline test runs out in the
western part of the state, and after
lunch the start for ST. Augustine was
made.
At the other end of the run the tank
was filed with the best of gasoline
and at 1920 o'clock the word to go was
given by G. G. Gleason, who sells
Maxwells in St. Augustine. When the
So'i SeOPPCo dI IhC OOubh Oiuc Terry
the elapsed time was $3.50 and Bob
says he will wager he can reduce that
figure five minutes at any time, if the
start is made at daybreak when there
is no traffic on the road.-Times-
Union, May 8th.

CHANCE FOR MR.. cuTHrLL
If He will Come Forward with Some
Good Plan. he win Receive Fav-
orable Attention

Editor Star: Your reply to Mr.
Cuthill under the head "Censure OF
Our City," scorpion-like has a sting
and the sting is in the tail end
What has Cuthill done?"
As an older man and citizen of Ma.
rion county, with larger interests in
both country and city than Mr.. Cuth-
i'll, and considerable more experience
in life, / will state that before know
ing the city and its business men, ]
mistakenly sometimes felt aggrieved
The closer relations and better knowl-
edge taught me something.
First, l found the city paid about
fifty per cent of the total taxes of the
county and had only one-ffth the say
on the county board as to distribu-
ton of the county funds.
Secondly, find that many of the
gentlemen Mr.. CuthilI criticises pay
more taxes in one year than Mr..
Cuthill is likely to have paid all his
life.
Third. / believe some of the same
gentlemen worked harder, gave
more of their time and money directly
in the interest of the country farmer
in few months than Mr.. Cuthill is
likely to have given all his life, and
if Mr.. Cuthill will investigate, or IL he
will consult with some of the farm
ers who have helped by advice and
consultation with business men in
the Board of Trade, / think he viii
agree with me that he should inves-
tigate before he criticises.
If Mr.. Cuthill, in his superior wis
dom, has under his hat any well de-
fined plan for the amelioration of
evils he complains of, there is broad
and warm welcome and assurance of
cooperation for him or any other
farmer at the meetings of the Board
of Trade, which undoubtedly, through
lack of investigation and absolute ig-
norance of its work, he unjustly crit
icises.
We have a few city men of the
Cuthill type, who crouch, ,grumble
and sneer at every attempt of those
who work and give time and money
towards public interests; yet contri-
butte nothing but gas and crouch.
What the country and city needs is
common-sense cooperation, advice and
encouragement, and this takes a full
sized man. But it takes the smallest
calibre of manhood to criticise and
fiout city against country and coun-
try against city.
Fortunately, not many farmers
hold with Mr.. Cuthill's erroneous
views, and certainly none of the farm
ers who have investigated, given their
time and money towards the better
ment of conditions that Mr.. Cuthill
complains of.
Every interest of the city business
man demands his hearty cooperation
towards securing the good will and
betterment of the country farmer.
Fair Play.
