THE POINT OF VIEW.

That Lambright is brilliant no one may
deny. His pen dips itself in caustic fluid
every once in awhile and he indites an as
persion on woman and woman's dress.
Under the caption of "The Shock of I'm
Dress" Lambright takes the women of the
day round1y to tasl, because he declares
that it is patent to the least observant that
women wear almost nothing under their
gowns" I must be very warm in Tampa,
or else the women of that city must be
very much behind the times, or Lambright
must be basing his article on memories of
other days.
Certainly the styles here and wherever
fashion prevails cannot be considered cling
ing. On the contrary, the fashions in dress
today are most bouffant. The girls are
not only skirted, but over-skirted, and if
they wear stripes, God bless 'em, it is no
more than those should do who censure
them.
In one arraignment, Mr. Lambright de-
clares that in dress many of the women look
almost like men" a consequence of which
IS that other women, who have no sympa-
thy with such ideals and methods, attire
themselves in manner which experience
indicates is the most alluring.
Mr.. Lambright, Judging from the Trib-
une's columns, is quite an authority on
woman and what she wears-or should
wear-like a great many other space
writers.
But the fact of the matter is that the
women of the day are wearing anything
but clinging styles, and that the striped
stockings are shocking only to persons of
very tender sensibilities.
To one who looks upon the dress parade
from an impartial standpoint, there is moth
ing that skaters the senses in the spectacle
of few inches of hose, striped or plain,
and the mind does not stagger under the
awful blow of stage shoes or half-trans-
parent material"
The fact of the matter is that most men
are too busy to spend their time in attacks
upon woman and her follies in fashions. It
may be that space must be filled, but most
newspapers prefer to fill their columns with
something more vital and nearer the truth
which is that women have always dress
ed as they pleased and always will, and that
men are, most of them, strong enough to
watch the short-skirted parade without
fl1nch1ng or recourse to recrimination.

WHY NOT A WATER CARNIVAL?

The Pensacola Yacht Club has an
nounced very interesting program for the
regatta, which takes place in Pensacola on
July 3. Each year the regattas are assum-
ing greater Importance, and are drawing
to Pensacola larger representation from
yachting circles. Some day Pensacola will
be known as one of the greatest Yachting
centers in Southern waters, but its claims
must be made known before they can at
tract yachtsmen to these waters in any
large numbers.
Last winter many yachtsmen spent a
great part of the winter in Florida waters.
and a number of them touched Pensacola
on their trip north. If Pensacola could
arrange for some sort of water sports that
would draw these Sportsmen to Pensacola
earlier in the season and keep them here
Tor longer period, much would be gained
for the city.
A water carnival for Pensacola would
prove great drawing card, and The Tour
nal believes that in no other way could the
advantages of this port be more strongly
emphasized. The harbor is ideal and the
climate is unsurpassed.
The summer regatta is doing much for
the city. Each year it brings new friends
to these waters who find here a cordial hos
pitality and take away with them realiza,

AM I MY BROTHERS KEEPER

Pensacola is in the throes of great
tragedy Strong men are trembling from
the shock of a crime so horrible as to al
most stagger belief Women are holding
Nlitt1e children closer in the arms of love,
and something sinister seems to have taken
hold of the fabric of life, with a hand that is
polluted Wherever one turns, childish
faces seem to cry to Cod in their purity and
innocence in arraignment of an inhuman
father. And the Pharisee draws his gar
ments about him and casts up his eyes to
heaven and thanks God that he IS not
sinner.
But, while such things can be, in a Chris
tan community, who may be held blame
less? Little children going hungry. A girl,
brave and bright, with the beauty of intel
ligent childhood, suffering, day after day,
fortunes of the inquisition. A tiny sister,
frail and lovely, whose little body had felt
the blows of leathern thongs, and boy
whose young eyes had looked upon brutal
tiles most unspeakable.
Can the community be held blameless,
when such tragedies can take place, and
testimony be given, going to show that
there were many who knew of conditions
so revolving DIS TO dlIIlOSL pass DCllSNlIlS1
and yet no hand had been stretched out to
save; the arm of the law had never been
called upon to prevent?
Testimony in the case of Fudge brings
out the fact that it was known that he
was drinking man and that he beat his
children numerically Yet, day after day,
these little things had been left in his in
human care because he bore the name of
father.
There should be law against parent
beating his child, and this law should be
rigidly enforced Whether Fudge did or
did not commit the heinous deed of which
he is accused, brutality is at the root of the
death of the two little girls, whose tragic
taking has so stirred the hearts of Pensa-
cola,
If some hand had been held out to save
them from that brutality before, these
little children would be alive today, and
Pensacola would not have resting over it
the shadow of one of the most revolving
murders IN history.

DARKEN GRAY HAIR,
E. LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens
So Naturally that No
body can tell.

Hair that loses its color and lustre, or
when it fades turns gray, dull and life
less, is caused by lack of sulphur in
the hair. Our grandmother made up
mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful, and
thousands of women and men who value
that even color, that beautiful dark
shade of hair which is so attractive, use
only this old time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mixture
improved by the addition of other ingredi-
ents'by asking at any drug store for 80
cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" which darkens the
hair so naturally, SO evenly that nobody
can possibly tell it has been applied. You
just dampen sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair, tax
ing one small strand at time. By morn
ing the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound, is that, besides beau
tifully darkening the hair after few
applications, it also brings back the gloss
and lustre and gives it an appearance
of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is delightful toilet requisite to impart
color and youthful appearance to the
hair. sIt is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention OF disease.

FOXES EAT $4,000 LUNCH

The Courier was Mortified to learn
of the vile and foul murder commit
ted near George Rueggers house
Monday night. When Mr.. Ruegger
made his appearance Tuesday morn
ing he naturally went to examine the
Silver Gray fox pen. His interest in
this fox pen had increased materially
during the three or four preceding
days on account Of the fact that
two of the lady foxes had given birth
to several baby foxes. His delight
knew no bounds at the arrival of the
newcomers and upon consultation
with the owner, Mr.. Pope, he
learned to his surprise that they
were worth about $4,000.
On this fateful Tuesday morning
when George expected to see the
cute little foxes running about, play
fully tickling their mothers ear and
pretending to quarrel among them
selves, he saw instead their dead and
mangled bodies laying about the fox
pen in a most unbeautiful and horri-
flying condition.
1t will be understood that the fox
pen was divided into two parts In
one part were kept the two silver
gray foxes and in the other part
the three crossed silver grays. In
some unaccounta'ble manner one Of
the foxes had burrowed beneath the
dividing barrier which then allowed
communication between the two pens
and the rival mothers had crawled
through this communicating trench
and killed and partly eaten the op-
posing young.
A board of directors of any of our
railroads or insurance companies
would have to go some to devour
two thousand dollars worth of lunch
