Platform Suits McCreery=

Gainesville Sun: On Wednesday Mr..
Cats gave out a statement to the
public in which he made this en-
phatic declarations: "My policy will be
broad, philanthropic and for the best
interests of all concerned NO
SUMPTUARY OR BLUE LAWS OF
NEW ENGLAND WILL EVER
FIND A PLACE IN MY ADMINIS-
TRATION."
That is spoken like a man and
statesman, and The Sun Is prepared to
give Mr.. Cats, as Governor Of Flori-
da, as hearty support on the above
platform as it would give any other
man. the good of the State should
be placed above the personal inter-
ests or ambition of any man, and
The Sun will always work for the
up-building Of its county and State,
and this must be the conduct Of ev-
cry good citizen.

Our business friend is probably
hard to please. The editor of The
News has afforded many picture per-

and rarely has he seen one that fall

adjoining town some weeks ago that

THE BOY THOUGHT
OF MOTHER.

Some two weeks ago a boy of 10
fell in battle in France. He was the
heir to a peerage-that of Lord Glen
connor The boys name was Wynd-
ham Tenant.
They found in the pocket of his
jacket a short note, scratched on a
scrap of paper. On the outer side
of the folded slip was the one word:
Mother" The note read:
This is written in case any
thing happens to me, for | should
like you to have just little mes
sage from my own hand. Your
love for me and my love for you
have made my whole life one of
the happiest there has ever been.
This is a great day for me.

Not even the turmoil and the ira
vail of the trenches can wipe out a
real mans veneration for his mother.
Wyndham Tenant, you could have
given your mother no finer gift than
the little scrap of soiled paper found
in your blood stained jacket. In
honoring your mother you honored
yourself.

WHY HE FAVORS
PROHIBITION.

The editor Of The Palatka News
is frequently asked why he favors the
absolute prohibition Of the liquor traf-
fic in this State and the nation.
Most of our readers are familiar
with our reasons, which have been
given periodically through a long
series of years. They are economic,
moral and because of desire to see
grow up in this country a race of
manly men and womanly women who
shall be freed from the greatest curse
that has hampered their fathers and
mothers.
And again because of the insatiate
greed of the liquor business-its spirit
Of opposition to every influence which
makes for good in the world.
Yesterday we came upon an exam
pie Of this spirit of opposition-an
example which gets right down to
cases and to the publication of names.

THE BEST SELLING BOOK.

The Bible is the one best seller 1t
has been translated into more than
one hundred languages and it has an
annual circulation Of about 100000
books, testaments and portions.
How many thousands Of books
about the Bible have been written no
man can tell, and the average reader
does not require the information, be-
cause the Bible, whether it is read as
literature or as a religious guide, car
ries its meaning directly to US un-
trained fellows as we'll as to the STU
dent and preacher.
As the days grow shorter and the
evenings longer the question of what
to read this winter perpleXes many
who would like to make their leisure
profitable.
Then-why not read the Bible? In
it there is versifcation which later
poets have not equalled, stirring mar
ratives of great adventure, biography
of great men, the word which COM
forts, the thought which inspires, and
a system of ethics so perfect that
man has not yet compassed it.
Because it fits into the experience
of all, because it apples to the con-
ditions of every age and land, the BIZ
BILE is recognized as the worlds lead
ing classic. No man can claim to
be educated unless he has studied the

WHAT LEADING STATE
EDITORS ARE SAYING,
Cats Raney and Party Harmony
K X X X X X * X X X X X X X X X ;


Tampa Times: A pleasing after
math of the election is found in the
fact that Governor-elect Cats and
George P. Raney, chairman of the
state committee, who fought for the
election of Mr.. Knott, are both work
ing for restoration of harmony in the
democratic party in Florida.
Mr.. Cats comes out in a sensible
statement, in which he declares he has
the good of the party and Florida at
heart, makes no criticism whatever
of those who opposed him, and Mr..
Raney replies by saying in part; "The
sincerity of Governor Cats state
ment should be accepted by those
who supported Knott. regard as
worse than folly any talk about con-
testing Mr.. Cats election on the
ground of his alleged limited resi-
dence in Florida, and am confident
consideration of such a course by
those who actively supported Mr..
Knott would not be entertained for
a moment"
Mr.. Cats naturally bore the brunt
of his own campaign. Upon Mr..
Raney, as chairman of the state COM
mittee, fell the burden of leading in
Mr. Knott's behalf.
These two men displayed commend
able spirit, and it is the duty of those
who followed them to do likewise.
The Times believes a large MAORI
ty are even now doing so.

affecting scene; Harold was going to
the far west to make his fortune;
the parting was really hard-they
could hardly get their lips apart and
Harold's arms seemed to be tied in
a hard knot around Mary's waist.
Mary didn't sleep much that night;
she prayed for Harold.
Next scene shows Harold a tender
foot in the far west; he had tackled
gold-mining proposition and was
half-starved; then he was stricken
with thirst in the desert, and later his
partners bleached bones were found.
Harold was rescued, but somehow
some one carried the news to Mary
that he was dead.
But Mary-in the meantime the
English lord, who proved to be bogus
and only an ordinary gambler, had
taken her away under promise of
marriage and they had settled in AL
aska, where his cruelty to her result
ed in his getting slit between the
ribs at the hands of an envious sa-
loon-keeper who had become stuck
on Mary himself. He made love
openly to Mary after the death of
his ludship, and although he said he
couldn't marry her at the chapel, he
could take her before his friend,
Judge Bender, over in the next camp
and he could perform ceremony
that would make her his concubine,
which was next of kin to a wife I'M
der the Alaska forms.
Mary had tustle with herself for
a time over this eminently fair prop
osition and finally consented. 1t was
either that or a job in the dance hall
with long hours and a mixed compa-
ny of miners who swore and threw
their Ticker down their threats after
every spin of the wheel.
After becoming concubine to the
saloon-keeper that party gradually
lost interest in her and Mary was suf-
fering quite a little from blows and
cuffs he had a habit of giving her
for the sake of keeping peace in the
family. The saloon keeper was al
so jealous Of Bill Bradley whom he
had caught drinking a mixed-liquor
with Mary in the kitchen. He want
ed to kill Bill, but was afraid to do
so, for Bill carried a gun and secured
a drop on him. But he swore VEN
geance. When Bill left, the saloon
keeper took it out on Mary and left
her dead.
Indignation over this cruelty was
so deep in the camp that he quit,
leaving a well-stocked saloon to Mary,
who hired Bill to conduct it on bust
ness principles. When, after few
days it was found that the murder
Gus saloon keeper was dead-his
body frozen stiff alongside the trail

Of course Bill now
ran the saloon and was hardly

And he took to drink, too. and gam
bled, and one bitter cold night he
lost all his gold, and being too drunk
for intelligent mental effort. bet the
saloon-and lost it, too. That was
too much for Mary. She quit him
cold.
Then Mary was taken sick with ty-
phoid fever brought into the camp by
a horse fly. For several weeks her
life was despaired of. Then there
was q turn for the better. A young
doctor from Juneau said she would
live.

In discussing border conditions be-
fore a New York audience the other
day, DR.. S. Parkes Cadman, pastor Of
the Central Congregational church,
Brooklyn, said:
Conditions are such now that
a gentleman of my calling, l be-
lieve, would be unwilling to take
chaplain's position. There
should be a higher standard of
chaplains in the army, and a
weekly attendance at divine SER
vice by soldiers should be mat
ter of discipline and army regula-
ton.
DR.. Cadman is something of a cad
anyway he is an Englishman who
was imported from London to New
York several years ago to become
pastor. He served for a time on the
border as chaplain Of the Twenty
third New York regiment. He saw
some rough stuff and his caddish soul
was shocked; soldering at the front
was so different from Brooklyn pink
tea. 1t was no place "for a gentle
man of his callingn And here we
have been nursing the idea that a
minister was either called" or sent
to save that which was lost-that he
would be willing to go anywhere to
save a soul! And yet here we find
one whose very soul revolts at the
boyish escapades of a lot of Ameri-
can soldiers; and he would have an
army regulation compelling attend
ance upon divine service. Not any,

see all civilian attend, but no COM
