THE sTEPHENsoNs.

The first railway and the first To- comotfve were constructed by George Stephenson, the immortal English en-. gineer. but it was his son, Robert Stephenson, who built the engine which established the efficiency of the locomotive for working the Liverpool & Manchester Hne, and all future railroads. Robert Stephenson, who died ffty-six years ago today and was buried in Westminster Abbey. has not had his genius sufficiently recog2 nized because of the greater glory of his father, but he played an inn portant part in the development of ecuted what the father had planned, and for all time suppIant the stage coach. Robert was born in 1903, when his father was still very poor
 George Steph enson determined that his son should have the educational opportunities which he had lacked, and worked until late at night, mend ing watches and clocks in order to obtain money to send Robert to a, Newcastle school. The boy rode to and from school on a donkey He spent his evenings with his father in reading and study, and eager discus sions concerning the Iocomotive-en1 zine. Later Robert constructed the Rocket, the first locomotive which was entirely practicable, and gained the reward of $2,500 offered for the best locomotive. His mature years were devoted to railway constru ction
 and he solved many difficulties which others declared were insuperabIe. x

Chinese Papers Oppose
 Change in Government

Hong Kong, Oct. 1s.-Hong Kong papers are pessimfstic in their discus sion of the proposed change of the Chi nese Republic into a constitutional monarchy, as sugestged by the Peace Preservation society.
 The South China Press says: eIt Bhou1d be time enough, five years hence, when the republican system has had a fair trial, to discuss such a dan gerous topic. It is fully realized that the reforms promised by the new ad- ninistratipn have made slow progress. It could not be otherwise, This has insecurity following a period of strife, Eo the magnitude of the reforms them pe1ves and to the ignorance of the masses than to any fault of the pres dent and his loyal adherents in office
 steIo matter how good their inten- hons-or otherwise-it cannot be said that the promoters of the Peace Pres srvation society have selected the most Juitab1e time to start their propagan- Ia. Conditions throughout the world ire so far from settled that China can not expect to receive at this time the benefit of strong outside support for Lny radical change. But apart from this China's revolutions are of too re- cent date for the advantages or disad- tantages of the new system of gov ernment to have been proven. Chinese newspapers, published in foreign con- sessions, where greater liberty of ex- pression is enjoyed, are almost en- tirely opposed to the proposal chiefly on the ground that they ultimate dismemberment of the republic and abs0rption by a foreign power which has greater ambitions in this country.''

NEW LONDON HAS
 S75,OOO FIRE IN BUSINESS CENTER

New London, Oct. 12-About $75, 1000 loss was caused by 8 fire which broke out at 1:3O this morning in the Gold smith block in Main street. The large building. coupled on the ground floor by the Gager-C Crawford company's food store. with offices on the two upper floors. was gutted and the contents practically all ruined. '-
 The scene of the fire is in the center of the city's business section and a general alarm was sent in 60 bring out the whole department to protect the surrounding property. It took an hour of hard work for the iremen to get the blaze under control and the contents of the building that were not destroyed by fire and smoke were completely drenched. In addition to the yGager- Crawford company the other sufferers from the fire are Mrs. Thomas H. Hickey, Dr. So1tz. Parme1ee's Ticket Agency, Dr. Karl A. Williams, New London Sand company, Dr.s FL Aiber- nA4hy, dentist, gElizba, medium. 4 pr. SDAtz and his brother, who had been asIeep in the formers office, made their escape through a window. The building is owned by s. A. Goldsmith.

Gold Shield Given
 Seery For Bravery

For his heroic rescue of drowning boy at Fairfield beach early in July. at roll call last night Policeman John J. Seery was presented with a large 'tgo1d" shield manufactured at the plant of the Bridgeport Brass Go. by policemen connected with the Second precinct.
 The shield is. highly prfzed by ..Cap.'' Insefted ins the center is a tin badge made of the top of catsup bottle. The presentation speech was made by, Policeman Edward Daley and Cap responded in his ininitable manner. It is claimed in police circles that his decoration greatly outshines the large iron cross presented tp Fireman George Eek by members of Engine Co. No. 5 for the latter's brave work when he prevented a murder on Barnum avenue a week ago.

In the days when it was custo-
mary to preach a sermon to the
young people about to enter the
state of matrimony an old Scottish
clergyman used to sum up his ex-
hortation in the words, : Fear
God, and keep out of debt. " 1t
was sound advice. Nothing is
the cause of more misery, of more
wretched homes, of more broken
down lives, than debt, A proiai-
nent physician of New York re-
Gently made the statement: ~ IS
not overwork, either of hand OF
brain, that is killing the Ainerl-
can people, ! see a great many
broken down men and women, and

people with shattered brain and

Natural Good Roads

In most, if not all of the low
lands of South Florida, the soil
is of such a character that the
roads passing over it do not need
hard-surfacing of any kind. All
that is necessary is to clear and
grade the road-bed at least fifty
feet wide, giving plenty of room
for three drive-ways, and then We
hicles passing over the road will
simply pack it to sufficient solid
ity.
A model road of this kind runs
from Winter Garden to Ocoee, a
distance of three miles. The
bitches on each side are fifty feet
apart; they should never be less
than thirty feet apart on any kind
of a road. On this road are three
broad drive-ways. The writer
passed over it a few days after a
heavy rain had fallen, and he was
surprised to find that it was Meth
err Doggy nor muddy. On express
ing his surprise to Hon. A. b.
Newton, with whom he was rid
ing in an auto, the explanation
was given that the width of the
road, graded as it was with the
bitches fifty feet apart, was the
cause of it's not becoming muddy
after a rain.
Nor does the road in dry wealth
err break up into deep sand. The
surface at all times remains firm
and elastic, making it, in our opin-
ion, an ideal road.
The country adjacent is very
level, having the appearance of be-
ing low, just like this Punta Cor
da country, but it is really an
elevated plateau, and drainage is
easy.
Good roads enthusiasts should
inspect this Winter Garden-Ocoee
road.

A Third Candidate

Sunday S Tampa Tribune con-
tanned the formal announcement
of Hon. Perry G. Wall that he
will be candidate in next year s
primaries for United States sena-
tor. Mr.. Wall is the brilliant
orator, who, at the Rotary break
fast in Tampa during the Gaspa-
rilla festivities of last month,
electrified his audience with a
splendid eulogium on the press,
and it is, therefore, reasonable to
conclude that the newspapers will
treat him and his candidacy with
especial kindness and the most
courteous consideration. Indeed,
if he had never delivered that ia
nous encomium. on the press, he
would be entitled to the most re-
spectful treatment, for he is one
of the states best and ablest citi-
zens.
AS to his candidacy, it will have
the effect Of dividing the vote of
South Florida and, in this way, it
may contribute to the re-nomina-
ton of Senator Bryan. For, there
is no doubt that Ex-Governor Gil
christ, who announced his candi-
dacy some time ago, will persist
in running; and his and Mr.
Wallis friends in this section OF
the state being identical, they will
divide what may be called the
anti-Bryan vote.
The intimation by a Tampa pa.
per that the ex-governor may
withdraw in favor of Mr.. Wall, is
unfounded, for the former will
run, regardless of any other man :
candidacy, and he will not be
deferred from running by the en-
trance of any number of candi
dates.

The Secretary's Remorse

The secretary of the DeSoto
County Press Association was in
structed to insert in the minutes of
the recent meeting here suitable
acknowledgement of the royal
manner in which the members
were entertained by Editor E. R.
Jones, of the DeSoto News. Al
so the appreciation of the body of
the cOurtesies shown them by
Sheriff J. L. DishOng in provid-
ing a meeting place in the court
house. The oversight was mex
cusable, and we hereby repri-
mand the said secretary for dero-
LECTION of duty and recommended
that the Association remove him
from office-Arcadia Enterprise.
AS Brother Carter, the author Of
the above, is himself the remiss
secretary, his self-reproval re
minds us of the method by which
the Creek Indian of the '3O's
tried to curse any one offending
him: "Me damn raScal-yOu -
was his way of expressing his
wrath.

We Don't Want Them

We do not want any state high
way commission or bureau OF i'm
migration. The counties are al
ready building good roads as fast
as their means will permit, and
some Of them are taxing them
selves to the limit for this purpose
and they do not want an addition
al burden and interference in the
shape of a state commission.
Such an institution would be not
only needless burden to the tax
payers, but it would be positive
nuisance to the people who are
now building good roads in nearly
every county of the state.
A bureau of immigration is not
needed, for the reason that every
town and county that wants i'm
migration is doing all that is pos
sible to get it. Boards of trade
and even private individuals, all
over South Florida at least, are
spending money in advertising the
advantages of their localities to
induce people from abroad to
come in and help develop the
country. The railroads, too, are
boosting the state, and all these
agencies are accomplishing salts
factory results. A state bureau
could do nothing more, and il
would be simply a needless tax
burden.
What is needed now are ways
and means of reducing, not in.
creasing the tax rate.

The Ocala Banner makes an UNI
answerable argument against war
when it calls attention to the fact
that all the great empires that
were created by war, such as those
of Persia, Rome, Greece and
France, have long since passed
out of existence, while the one es-
tablished by the Prince of Peace
nearly two thousand years ago,
still fourishes, grows stronger
and greater every year and will
endure and flourish till the end of
time. Unlike Darius and Caesar
and Napoleon, Christ did not
build his empire with the aid of
armed hosts, but it is the strongest
and most enduring Of all.
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1915-03-25

The newspapers recently have
been saying a lot of nice things
about Hon. Frank Harris, the
sage of the Ocala Banner. 1t
must be pleasant to him to know
in what high esteem he is held by
his press brethren, and it is right
that they should now present him
with bouquets and not wait until
he is dead to lay flowers on his
grave. He deserves the venera-
ton not only of his brother edi-
tors, but of his fellow citizens
throughout the state. May he
live many years to counsel peace,
right and justice.

1t is easy enough to settle all
questions between the United
States and the European belliger-
ents and at the same time OBJ
serve strict neutrality. The way
TO do is for the United States to
absolutely prohibit all intercourse,
including commerce, with the bel
ligerents until they cease fighting.
Such a course would hasten the
end of the war.

Editor Goolsby of the Wauchu-
la Advocate, has lately been re-
ceiving the congratulations and
encomiums of his state contempt
raries on having celebrated the
fourteenth birthday of his excel
lent paper. AS town builder,
no paper in Florida has done more
than Goolsby's Advocate. Be
sides this, it "calls a spade a

express itself on any subject, ami
mate or inanimate.
