AT THE FIRST
METHODIST CHURCH

Yesterday morning at the First
Methodist church, Rev. IL. d. Lowe
preached on Christian Education"
stressing the benefits and advantages
to be derived by patronizing the
Methodist College at Sutherland and
also the necessity of supporting this
splendid institution. DR., Lowe is
always an interesting speaker, and
his sermon yesterday was given the
careful attention of the large con-
gregation.
In the evening the congregation
had the pleasure of hearing DR.. w.
E. Oneal, who is one Of the leading
divines and lecturers in the country,
and who is on visit to his sister,
Mrs. C. A. Cole. Possibly no high
er compliment could be paid to him
than that by Mother Lake, who in
conversation with the writer said
last night: 81 was surprised to see
him here, and l would gladly divide
time with him or stand aside and
let him take my place on program,
fer he is one of the great preachers
of this country. He hews to the line
and lets the chips fall where they
may"

1t is no credit to this country nor
its government that after more than
one hundred years of organized ma
tional life we are still at the mercy
of the Mississippi river whenever it
gets on the rampage and are almost
as helpless to check its ravages as
the original inhabitants of the re-
gion through which it runs. Enor-
nous appropriations and the best en-
gineering skill seem to be ineffec-
tive against the periodical high
waters of that mighty stream, and
right now vast areas of Louisiana,
Arkansas and Mississippi are suff-
ering ravages worse than those of
war, with many thousands Of people
destitute and ruined, because the big
river is again out of its banks :.
Preparations against the encroach-
ments of the Mississippi is more urg-
ent than against European nations.

Lamenting the failure of Escam-
bia county juries to do their duty in
the enforcement of the Davis pack
aee law the Pensacola Journal NOR
allies as follows, which may apply to
jury shortcomings generally:
when juries fail, the majesty of
the law is spurned and all provisions
which have been made to check ac-
tivities against the peace, the dig
nifty and security of the community
are carelessly cast aside. The re-
sponsibility of the juror is so vital
that there is cause for apprehension
if at any time it is regarded lightly.
When the law is trifled with, there
is a chance for civil authority to be
set aside and replaced by martial
law. The recent npleasantness in
Louisiana resulted when the civil
authorities failed to suppress motor
ious gambling dens.'

NOT THE SLIGHTEST DANGER
:. OF IT IN OUR TIME

The Clearwater Sun sees in the
ever-increasing tide of northern i'm
migrants into Florida time not
very far distant when the political
complexion of the State will be
changed and we will have here a
majority Of voters of Republican in
stead of Democratic faith. We
think the Suns fears are groundless.
In the first place it assumes that a
majority Of the northern men COM
ing here are Republicans, which is
an assumption with much evidence
to the contrary, there being a very
strong Democratic party at the
North, as the presence of a Demo-
cratic administration now in Wash
ington clearly shows.
And in the next place there is
nothing so potent to change a mans
politics as change in his environ
ment, for that means more often
than not a change in his viewpoint
And unless he is petrified in his poll
tics and has ceased to think, he is
likely to discover that party policies
good for his personal interests in one
part of the country may not be good
for those interests in far distant
part OF the country where conditions
are entirely different.
This simply means that a North
ern Republican may become South
ern Democrat when he changes his
residence and becomes a citizen Of
the South-something we have
known to happen very frequently,
and which is neither shocking, I'M
natural nor unreasonable. Political
changes and readjustments are go
ing on necessarily in all parts OF the
country. and II this were not true
one party would be eternally in
power and popular intelligence on
matters concerning the national ad-
ministration and it's policies would
stagnate and purify and the coun-
try would 90 to the dogs.
And, finally, Democrats are so
thick in Florida and the annual new
crop is so large that the danger Of
a Republican majority capturing the
State is about as imminent for at
least a generation or two to come
as that Germany, after conquering
all Europe, will send a few millions
of her soldiers over here and take
possession of our little old U. S. A.
But that the Suns views on this
subject may he fully understood. we
reproduce them:
"Six years ago a stream of immi-
grafton from the North and West be-
gan to flow into Florida, and each
year IT has increased in volume I'M
til now II is beginning to lose its
complexion politically as Southern
State. The majority of new settlers

faith. Many of these good people in
the interest of fairness, and in ap-
probation of the principle of the

naturally, their loyalty to Repub-

RAT TAILS WORTH A CENT

Paris, Feb. gan@Rat tails are now
worth a cent each on one part Of
the French battle front. The gen.
eral commanding in that section has
issued the following order of the
day: with the object of interesting
the men in the destruction of ro-
dents, a premium of five confines
shall be paid for each rat destroyed
The premium shall be paid every ten
days. on presentation of the tails of
the destroyed animals. The rats,
bearing vermin susceptible Of
spreading disease must not be han
died, but Immediately buried, and
the tails done up in a paper impreg-
mated with tar or petroleum. The
order .~,ulted in tremendous
SLAUGHTER of rats, but was not obeyed
in all its details. 1t appears that the
new fashion of trimming women's
garments with fur has created an
outlet for rats fur, and the rat
hunting soldiers skin their victims
before burying them, disinfect and
steriiize the hides, and sell them to
the sutlrs behind the front.
1t is estimated that the rats have
destroyed millions of francs worth
of provisions sent to the soldiers by
their friends and relatives at home.
An officer at the front recently
wrote his wife that it would be use
,, less for her to send him any more
provisions. as 1t was impossible to
preserve them from the rats, and in
no case had he any more than a sim
gle lunch out Of all the eatables sent
! to him. Some surprise has been ex-
pressed that several thousand men,
turned rat hunters, have been I'M
able TO exterminate them. A mathe-
matician has taken the trouble to
calculate that a years progeny OF
a single pair of rats may easily
amount to more than one hundred
and twenty-five millions, which he
holds is proof that only wholesale
POISONING or suffocation can cone
with the pest. In fact, of all the
different measures adopted AGAINST
them, none have produced the re-
suits obtained by the suffocating gas
that the Germans occasionally send
towards the French trenches. Thou-
sands Of them were picked up dead
in the first line of the trenches after
one Of these gas attacks.
Another statistician has figured
out that 1t costs a centime and a
half day to nourish a rat. and con-
seauently figures their depreciation
on that basis to amount to forty-four

At The Churches Yesterday
THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH

At the Baptist church on Sunday
morning a very large and appreciative
congregation listened to very fine SER
mon by DIR. Kerr Boyce Upper, of
Philadelphia.
DR.. Upper was introduced by Bro.
Wear in the most pleasing manner.
DR.. Tupper's subject was 1.-THE Most
Marvellous Prayer Ever Given-The
Lords Prayer" This prayer so
simple, yet SO comprehensive, has
depths that philosophers have not
fathomed. Infidels have assailed it
without any effect. 1t stands as the
model prayer-written in many
languages-in many strange places,
used as prayer to the Heavenly
Father by all conditions of mankind, in
all parts of this vast universe.
Miss Pearl Johnson sang so sweetly
THY Will Be Done" making an i'm
pressive closing to the hour of morn
ing worship. The evening services
were opened with. splendid congre-
gational singing-that large audience
singing Onward, Christian Soldiers"
with their voices raised in praise to
the great Captain of their salvation.
Miss Pearl Johnson has been recently
appointed choir directress-a position
sheo coupled in the Baptist church of
Arcadia.
Brother Wears subject was stephen,
the first Deacon" or, "The Man with
the Shining Face" In the Introductory
remarks the need of the early church
for a deacon-the character of the
first deacon-a consecrated board of
ueacons have often tided over a crisis
IN the affairs of the church; paying
high tribute to the board of deacons
tof the First Baptist Church for their
devotion to the work as deacons. after
which the defense of Stephen was
touched upon and Bro. Wear launched
out in the theme of his sermon, "The
Man with the Shining Face" In his
life and in his death Stephen showed
the characteristics of Jesus-praying
Tor his enemies. Stephen from a dea-
con becomes a preacher; he was true
soldier Of the cross, this first MARTYR
showing great courage, sustained by
the spirit of Christ during his perse-
cution. In that hour the heavens
opened and the glory of the Father
reflects upon hts -countenance. Heaven
came to greet him and he was trans
formed in the presence of his enemies.
Stephens prayer for his enemies is
the true essence of religion, for moth.
ing but the love of Jesus in our hearts
can make us love aned pray for our
enemies. In opposition the death of
Judas and that of Stephen. The ap-
pearance Of Judas before the council
his tragic death, were the closing
thoughts, admonishing all believers to
live close to Christ, to grow in grace,
and to so live that when our work on
earth is completed that we may pass
over the river, catching a glimpse Of
that glory world which will illumine
our features-a reflection that will re.
main even when deaths angel has
passed by, and we have gone over to
| be with the Lord. REPORTER

FLORIDA NEWSPAPERS

In speech prepared for delivery at
the Rotary Press breakfast, Richmond
H. Edmonds, editor of the Manufac-
turers' Record, paid this high compli-
ment to the press of Florida:
Il have often marveled at the
strength and activity and virility and
enterprise of the newspapers of Flor
ida in comparison with papers of other
towns and cities of equal population.
have been amazed many times not
only at the size of many Florida pa
pers, but at the splendid character of
every feature from editorial to news,
especially considering the limited
population of the towns and cities in
which they are published and of the
State at large. l do not believe that
there is any other State in the Union
of equal population which can show
such splendid newspaper work and
such live, aggressive newspapers as
this state of Florida. l am not saying
this with any thought of fulsome
praise; it is merely the expression of
a conviction which has long been held
in my office and often discussed
there"
The Times Union can endorse this
without being accused of a lack of
modesty, because while it claims it's
share of this compliment it deserves
less credit for it than any of the
other papers with which it shares the
complimentary words spoken by the
great Baltimore editor. This paper
was established many years ago in
the greatest city of Florida, and be-
came well-established before any ri
val entered the field. There is no I'm
dertaking with which age counts as
much as it does with the publication
of newspaper. People get accustom-
ed to reading it, and it is very hard
for younger rival, no matter how
meritorious, to secure recognition as
its equal. So while the Times Union
is a good paper, we admit that it has
been built up under favorable circum-
stances, and take off our hat to others
that are perhaps equally as good and
that have become so despite unfavor-
able circumstances.
But the people of Florida have good
reason to feel proud of their news
papers, for we know of no State in
the Union with equal population that
has as many and as good newspapers
as appear in Florida. This is true of
the weeklies as we'll as of the dailies.
We do not now remember any paper
in Florida that is not credit to the
place 1t is published in, that would
not be a credit to any place of equal
size.
We say the people of Florida have
good reason to feel proud of their
newspapers, but it is equally true that
the newspapers of Florida have reason
to be proud Of their people, for after
all the newspapers are what the people
make them. But for liberal local sup.
port good newspapers could not be
published. The people of Florida have
made 1t possible for the editors to pub.
lish good newspapers, and the editors
deserve credit only for living I'D to
their OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Union.
