The retirement of judge Eppes
Tucker of this city from the judicial
race in this circuit is stimulating
the movement to have Judge Whit
ney reconsider his declared purpose
not to be a candidate for reelection
and to get in the race to succeed
himself In Lee county the lawyers
and citizens generally are very much
in earnest about this matter, have
held a meeting and passed resolu
tions, and are circulating petitions
for signatures asking Judge Whitney
to be a candidate for reelection
1t is a rare compliment to an able
and upright judge, and it may be
that he will be renominated despite
his published purpose not to make
the race. A good judge is big as
set and when the people get one they
arc net willing to give him up

At last they are doing things on
the French front in the European
war and the desperate struggle now
in progress there seems to mean
that the Germans are making a SUI
prcme effort to break the long dead
lock which has thus far made their
campaign in France failure =.
Something in big, decisive way is
going to happen on that front soon,
for another year of futile trench war
would seriously impair the morale of
both armies and become intolerable.

that if sensible people would utterly

The diplomatic relations of this
country with Germany are strained,
but the hotheads or alarmists in
Congress- are not the people to deal
with such a delicate situation No
one Of them is as wise, cool and ca
pable as Woodrow Wilson, nor all of
them combined, and he should be
left to deal with Germany as he has
in the past, and if so we feel sure
that he will save us from war and
at the same time protect the rights
of our citizens and preserve the hon
or of the nation His letter to SEN
ator Stone yesterday will become a
great historical document. Let us
get faith and confidence from this
part of it, referring to the Germans:
eve have no reason to question
their good faith or their fidelity to
their promises of the past and | for
one feel confident that there will be
none. No nation, no group of ma
tions, has the right while war is in
progress to alter or DISREGARD the
principles which all nations have
agreed upon in mitigation of the
horrors or sufferings of war; and If
the clear rights of American citizens
should ever unhappily be abridged
or denied by any such action, we
should, 1t seems to me, in honor
have no other course than what our
course should be. For my own part
cannot consent to any abridge-
ments of the rights of American cit
liens in any respect. The honor and
self-respect of a nation is involved.
We covet peace and shall preserve
it at any cost but the loss of honor"

Disguised at the failure of the
Davis package law to do any good in
the way of diminishing the evils of
the liquor habit the Punta Gorda
Herald again denounces legislatures
as frauds and recommends that they
be abolished No, they are not
frauds, nor are they failures except
in comparative sense; but like
many other human institutions, they
fall short of perfect efficiency, and
the remedy is not to abolish, but to
improve them. The Davis package
law was well meant and looked eff
cient on the surface. It's defects
could only be discovered by its prac-
tical application, and the same was
true of most other mechanisms now
in successful use, on their trial trip

the DRESSING PERCENTAGE

There is considerable differ
ence in the dressing percentage
Of different classes of livestock.
Some of this difference comes
f:om the fact tina, a dit:clcn bas-
is used for the different classes.
In case of the hog, the hide is eft
on and also the head, while with
sheep andI cattle the hide AMI
head and feet are removed. They
also have propor.ionally more in
testines than the hog and large
paunches and are not as thick
tleshed. The dressing percent
age of hogs varies from IS to 81
per cent. with an average of rs
per cent. Cattle vary from 48 g
20 per cent with an average OF
So per cent. Sheep dress out a.
per cent to Sc per cent with ar
average of l8 per cent.
The variation il the dressing
percentage for the same kinds 81
livestock is due to the animal
being fat or lean and to the a.
mount of fill or the amount o.
feed and water in The intestine.
when butchered. In cattle ant
sheep the size of the head and
legs and the thickness of hide ar,
also factors.

JAPANESE WOMEN WORK HARD
Little Consideration IL Shown Even q
Aged in the Land Of the
Rising Sun.

It wasn't long before we landed be.
fore we saw the Japanese woman, the
type that old japan creates. She and
some others were having a bridge
party. Sounds inviting, but 1t WASN'T.
About 20 of them were driving piles
for new bridge. The sun was scorch-
Ing, the timbers enormous, and the
man overseer was abusing them. For
weren't they only women? Without
education and with old Japan's idea Of
women crushing them down, they
deemed themselves pretty fortunate to
have even such work and the princely
sum of ten cents day.
No, it isn't enough for old Japan
that the women should have baby
every year. They must work, work like
men and animals. In NikkO we could
see from a distance a long line Of
bowed figures climbing the steep bank
IF the River Daiya, and on coming
nearer we saw that they were old, old
women, wrinkled and gray, carrying
barrels-not baskets, but barrels Of
stone from the riverbed to the road.
Such is the reverence for age in ia

NAPoLEoN's IDEALS AND AIMS
Great Soldier and Statesman 4 Lover
Of High Tragedy-Purpose Of the
Arcs de Triomphe.

I love high tragedy, the sublime:
like that of Corneille. In tragedy
great men are more truly great than
in history. We see them only in the
crises which unfold them, in the mo.
ments of supreme decision; and we
are not burdened with all the pre-.
paratory details and conjectures. often
false, which the historian gives us.
Tragedy should be a he.
roic statue in which nothing of the
weakness or quivering Of the flesh is
seen.
Dante is to me the greatest genius
of modern times. / am en-.
viOus for my dear France that she
has never produced rival to Dante,
that this colossus has not had his
equal among us. No, there is no rep.
utation which can be compared with
his.
The Arcs de Triomphe would be
futile work, serving no purpose, and
would not have built them if had
not thought them a means of encour-
aging architecture. l hoped with the
Arcs de Triomphe to nourish the archi.
lecture of France for 20 years.
