The Daytona daily news. [volume] (Daytona, Fla.) 1903-1926, 1915-02-05

We call ourselves free, moral
agents but nothing can be more GER
tain than that we are "staked out
like the ponies on our western prai-
ries and that our tethers are very
short, at the best At every wild
rush of impulse or desire we reach
the lend of our ropes and are
rounded up by the shortest kind Of
a turn. The amount of our physical
liberty is very small, for example:
Ny seat.mate at the hotel table, 4
captain on the Great Lakes, tells me
that he stood on the bridge, in a
storm, for SCventy-two consecutive
hours, one time; but after he gave up
and went to bed he had to be lifted
out by his deck hands!
Our intellectual powers, as we'll,
have boundaries as fixed and as care
fully guarded as those of Germany
and France. So, also, perhaps, do
those of our moral natures, or so, at
least, atIirms the saying that every
man has his price, by which We
mean that we can stand no more than
a certain strain upon our power to
resist the evil influences of this NOR
tai life.
But is it with our limited capacity
to enjoy pleasure, with which this lit
tie essay has to do, because almost
everybody is trying to be happier than
he can. 1t is coarse but tremen-
dously vivid description of these
emotional limitations to say of man
that "he has bitten off more than he
can chew" Some of us eat more
food then we can digest, and others
drink more liquor than we can

Manners haketh Man.

F. Hopkinson Smith. in one of his
sketches, lamented that in the hurry
and rush which obtain in the present
era good manners has become con-
sp:cuous by their absence, saying:
I'VE live so fast that We have not time
TO be polite His lament is recalled
by story told by a lady from Vir-
ginia who lately visited New York.
The story was about prayer credited

had served for many years as butler
in the house. The prayer conclud d
in this wise: Make me so lib dat

is the large negro population in those

1t is evident" says the bureau,
that the public schools will in a short
time practically eliminate illiteracy
from among children. But there
are between four and five millions of
adults that are illiterate and that can.
not be reached by the public school.

WASHINGTON, Feb. before
long every child in the United States
over ten will be able to read and
write.
That is the most striking fact in
the statistics complied by the United
States bureau of education for use
at the Panama-Pacifc exposition.
The figures show that of children
from ten to fourteen years of age
there were in 1910 only 10 out OF
every 1000 who could neither read
nor write. In 1900 there were of
the same class A. per 1000
If the reduction in iliteracy is still
proceeding at even the same rate,
the illiteratc children in this country
between the ages of ten and four
teen inclusive. now number not more
than fifteen out of every 1000.
From the standpoint of proportional
reduction of illiteracy Oklahoma
leads all the states of the union. In

OLMSTED TO HEAR
ANNEXATION CASE
Failure of Judge ". T. Church to Get
Commission Forces Retiring
Court to Act

Because Judge ". T. Church, Aledo.
new member of the circuit bench. in
this circuitfl has not yet received his
commission from Springfield, the man
damus proceedings which have been
brought aaginst f. e. Thompson,
states attorney, to force him to file
quo warranto action against the city
inquiring into the legality of the re-
cent annexation of Sears, will be
heard by Judge R. ". Olmsted, retir-
ing jurist.
When the matter came up today be-
fore Judge Frank D. Rasmay, it was
ascertained that Judge Church had not
received his commission and as Judge
Ramsay will be busy in main court
with a jury in the trial of criminal
cases, it was decided that Judge Ohm
sted should hear the arguments in
branch court.
1t is understood that all of the Judi
cial commissions have been held up
pending the outcome OF the legislation
relative to increasing the salary of the
circuit judges from $4,000 TO $1,000 a
year. Yesterday the senate passed the
bill but today the house refused to
concur, killing the measure The plan
was TO have made the raise effective

spite Arrangement to Finish Its
Work Last Night

Springfield. Ill. June 1s.-Shortly

tions were that the deadlock which de-
layed adjournment Of the legislature
would be broken soon and the session
ended. An agreement had been tenta-
lively reached TO appropriate $3.50. 900
% the 100000 asked for normal

school be given S95.OoO; Carbonate
Si35. 900: Normal SOS. 900: Dekalb S1O.-
600 and Charleston $4,000. for new
buildings.
\ deadlock between the house and
senate over an appropriation OF $780,
600 for state normal schools resulted
in the failure OF the legislature TO
quit work and adjourn its session last
night as had been planned. Instead, it
resumed work this morning with the
possibility that IL would not end the
session until late today or tonight.
A. noon both houses were still
grinding out bills awaiting the con-
ference report on the normal school
application bill. the only thing keep
ing the legislature from adjourning.
AS amended by the senate. the nor
NAL school bill carried 100000 for
buildings az the Carbonate normal
school. $4,000 for the Macomb school
and $500 20 the school at Normal.
The senate had agreed TO cut the Car
hondale appropriation 20 $4,000. tbs
Macomh appropriation TO 100000 and
the Normal 10 100000. The house. how
ever. continued 20 insist that no
amount be granted.
Speaker Shanahan announced at
noon that the legislature would not
recess for lunch. but that IL would
work through TO a conclusion Many
members OF both houses failed to put
in an appearance this morning after
the hard grind OF last night and those
who were present were bleary-eyed
and tired
When the house met Speaker Shana-
han announced that it would continue
in session until the business before
10 was concluded. However. he said
that no demand would he made to
have some OF the remaining measures
acted upon.
The house refused TO concur in SEN
ate amendments TO the bill increas- !
ing the salaries OF downstate circuit 1
court judges from $1,000 10 $1,000 a
year. The amendment provided that 1
the salaries of judges of the supreme /
court be increased from $4,000 to !
5000 a year. In speaking for the .
amendment. Representative Shurtlen t.
Insisted that judges of the supreme 4
court should be given as much as Cook .
circuit court judges. who will /
receive $4,000 a year under a law
passed by this assembly.
Senate amendments TO the mothers
pension bill also were concurred in by
he house.
