HOPE FOR THIS GOOD-
 HEARTED GIRL

c. R. T. asks: 'Ts there hope for me? Father was well off Sent me abroad to uncle who was old, lonely and retired. Four little motherless cousins I now support for him. I am a stenographer past 20. Deny myself nice clothes and pleasures dear to the hearts of girls. He rides around while work days sending them to school. He owns farms he rents. Are my shoulders to bear his burdens, please ?'
 The world is. not all it ought to be. Refuse to let him go without support ing them. You may wed some day then what would become of them, tell him. Go with young folk and have pleasure.

FEMININrTY.
tBy cAD.)

 At last She's coming to the fore: Quietly, calmly and determined; Not blazonly does she enter at the
 door, But pleading reason, help and love. Not with partisan, vicious ways And hollow, selfish motives; Rather, mindful that these, Her days, Should leave some virtuous foot
 prints.
 Woe to the person and woe to the
 power
 That would barter our nation away; She'll itrample the weeds and seek out 4 the flower To represent Her sons and her daugh- h ters From out of the viri1e West she comes With Pity nor Scorn for New Eng land.
 Already She has saved from the Mon-

There seems to be no doubt that
Cats is nominated. The closest pos
sible canvass of the vote gives him
small but safe majority. This being
the case, it's the Stars opinion that
contests would be very bad policy.
The democratic party in this state
has made fool of itself, and the best
thing it can do now is to take it's
medicine. The Star was perfectly
certain, six weeks ago, when it saw
the party split on four candidates,
that Cats would win. Its only won
der is that his plurality wasn't larger.
The Star has fought Cats to the best
of its ability, and fatters itself that
it cost him more votes in proportion
to its circulation than any other
paper. However, that was all in the
game. A contest isn't. We see no
reason for believing there were more
mistakes or more frauds on one side
than another, and we don't think any
body in Tallahassee has right to re-
verse the votes of the counties. Con-
tests won't be in the interest of the
people, most of whom are tired OF
the irritation and agitation of the
campaign. Cats is evidently the
nominee, and such being the case its
time to close the campaign and take
up the next thing.

ALL ENTHUSIASTS
SHOULD ATTEND

All good roads enthusiasts are urg-
ed to attend the meeting of the Mar
ion county council of the Dixie High
way association tomorrow afternoon
at 4:30 o'clock in the Board of Trade
room. One of the things to be taken
up at the meeting is the question of a
report to the Central Florida High
way association on the status of the
Dixie Highway in this county. Marion
must be able to show that she has
carried out, or will carry out, all the
requirements necessary to have the
great highway routed through here.
There will be change in the route of
the highway in the case of counties
failing to fulfill pledges.
The president of the Dixie High
way association has requested that
the membership of the Marion county
council be increased, in order that its
influence might be more effective.

To hear the fuss made by number
Of people one would suppose that the
entire population of Florida belonged
to the church, about 40 per cent Cath
Ole and go per cent Protestant. The
truth is that over 70 per cent of the
people of this state do not belong to
any church, and it is also fact that
their rights and convictions are not
considered in making the laws. Some
of these days the non-church members
will get together, and pass laws tax
ing church property and making it a
'misdemeanor not to go fishing or play
baseball on Sunday. This would be
unjust, of course, but no more unjust
than some of the laws passed by the
church members.

Ocala Star says the Tribune "has
helped to defeat one of the men who
most greatly helped to make Tampa
great" That is matter of opinion
and the Tribune's opinion may not al
ways coincide with that of the Star.
At any rate, the gentleman in ques-
ton has been very literally rewarded
for whatever contribution he has
made to the greatness of Tampa
Tampa Tribune.
Glad to hear he has been well re-
warded. It is the public fashion to
turn a faithful servant out to grass

gladly have kept him where he would
have done more service.

It is the general belief that Cats
was elected on platform of religious
intolerance, and the Star is sorry to
say that there is too much reason for
the belief. However, that is not all.
There are whole lot of people who
are tired of the way this state has
been run and they turned to Cats in
the hope of change. Their hope
may be vain. Cats seems to the
Star to be mostly caterwaul. How
ever, there is much good he can do,
if ne will; and very little harm he can
do if he tries. The governor of Flor
ida is not car. He is bound by the
law, and if he breaks the law it will
break him. The Star thinks Cats
should have a fair show. He won't
have any more criticism from this pa
per unless he deserves it. Weswill not

SHOULD SLOAN'S

Of course it should! For after a
strenuous day when your muscles
have been exercised to the limit an
application of Sloan's Liniment will
take the soreness and stiffness away
and get you in fine shape for the NOR
row. You should also use it for a
sudden attack of toothache, stiff neck,
backache, stings, bites and the many
accidents that are incidental to a va
cation. eve would as soon leave our
baggage as go on vacation or camp

erything from cramps to toothache.' =

Turning down an old Confederate,
especially a general, is a risky BUSH
ness for an ofice-holder. Refusing
to give General Law the Barlow post
Office was one of the most powerful
agencies of Congressman Sparkman's
defeat.-Tampa Tribune.
In other words, if Mr.. Sparkman
had given a postofice to Gen. Law,
the general would have worked to re-
elect him. The Star is sorry to see
such mercenary motives attributed to
the honored old Confederate. We
hope the Tribune misrepresents him.
