Cats Hits Old "COnfeds."

Gainesville Sun: The Jasper News,
one of the most reliable newspapers
in Florida, established by j. NJ. Cald-
well, an eX-Confederate soldier and
Christian gentleman, in its issue of
last week says:
''ln his speech at Genoa last Satur-
day Mr.. Cats said that the Confeder-
ate veterans were lined up solidly
with the whisky bunch, Catholics and
railroads to elect Mr.. Knott"
If there is one thing above anoth-
er for which the citizens of Florida
will not stand, next to slur upon
the honor of her women, it is any such
an uncalled for fling as this at the
brave men who fifty years ago lined
up on the battle front for the cause
of the South.
1t would seem that poor old Cats
IS so "rattled' now that every time
he opens his mouth he puts his foot
INTO it. The fact is that all that is
is to give him time enough
and he will commit political harikari,
or, in other words, give him rope
enough and he will hang himself.

"NO Catholic Party

Tampa Tribune: "We want no
Catholic party in this country" said
Bishop Fickey of Rochester, N. Y, be-
fore a convention of $4,000 members
/ of various Catholic societies assem-
bled in New York. And the state
ment was greeted with signs of i'm
mense satisfaction and agreement by
his audience.
That is the proper spirit. 1t was
expressed more definite later in this
resolution, adopted by the Catholic
federation:
"We oppose the election of any cam
didate for public office who solicits
support because of his religious affil-
iations, and we earnestly solicit the
support of all patriotic Americans to
join with us in opposing any party,
faction or individual who violates the
Constitution of the United States by
applying the religious test to any
candidaes for public positions"
We want no Catholic party, no Pro-
testant party, no Jewish party, no
Mormon party. We want no German
party nor Irish party nor Scandna-
Wan party. What we want is ma
ton of Americans who line up for po-
litics according to their best iudg-
ment of the needs of the country as
whole. More and more of that we
are getting. And that is what we
continuously and decidedly demand.

The House by the Side of the Road.

Several years ago this beautiful
poem by Sam Walter Foss was pub.
iished in this paper; it is republished
this week at the special reques: of a
prominent lady in this city.-Ed.)
There are hermit souls that live
withdrawn
In the peace of their self-content;
There are souls, like stars. that dwell
apart,
In fellowless armament.
There ere pioneer souls that blaze
their paths
Where highways never ran;
Dut let me live by the side of the road
And be friend to man.
Let me live in a house by the side of
the road
Where the races of men go by
The men who are good and the men
who are bad,
AS good or as bad as |.
| would not sit in the scorner's seat,
Nor hurl the cynic's ban;
Let me live in house by the side of
the road,
And be friend to man.
| know there are brook-gladdened
meadows ahead
And mountains of wearisome height;
That the road passes on throug the
long afternoon
And stretches away to the night.
But still | rejoice when the travellers
rejoice,
And weep with the strangers that
moan,
Nor live in my house by the side of
the road
Like a man who dwells alone.
Let me live in house by the side of
the road
Where the races of men go by
They are good; they are bad, they are
weak, they are strong,
Wise, fooliSh-so am |.
Then why should | sit on the scorn-
er's seat,
Or hurl the cynic's ban?
Let me live in my house by the side
of the road
And be friend to man.
Sam Walter Foss.

AN tNe ldii w lSSlP tIte Ifbg-
Tallahassee Record: The States
mans Year Book, unquestionabIy the
DeSt edited and most authorltativ
statistical compilation published, is
revised once year. 1t gives the fol-
lowing church statistics Of Florida:
of the church members OF the
State of Florida 41.6 per cent are
Baptist, and 37.2 per cent, Metho-
DIST. Others are chiefly Roman
Catholics, Protestant Episcopal
ians, and Presbyterians. Other
churches represented in the State
are Adventlsts, Christian, Church
of Christ Scientists, Congrega-
tionalist, Universalist, Holy Roll
ers, ETC.; 1873 per cent are Metho-
dist and Baptist, leaving the 9TH
er PIP per cent to be divided be-
tween all of the other denomina-
tions mentioned"
Other authorities state that the
Catholics of Florida are but three per
cen Of the total population, yet there
are those who will cry that the Cath
ollcs are rying to get control of the
politics and governmental machinery
of the State. If three per cent can
control the other ninety-seven, then
the ninety-seven deserve to be con-
trolled and should have a guardian
TO look after them.

Chance to Get Rich

Lakeland Telegram: The Depart

Get Rich Quick scheme, and as we are
not selfish we pass it along. You
gather up all the waste paper you
can tind-and there's plenty of it
old newspapers, magazines, ETC., and
ship it to Jacksonville, where you can
get $3.50 a ton for it. The freight
on your ton will be only $500, so it
will be a simple matter to figure up
your wealth, as you will be $3.50 in
the hole on every ton of paper you
may laboriously collect.

Wauchula Advocate: For years
Wauchula was known as the largest
town in Florida with no negro popu-
lation, but along came the Yankee
soldiers and built St. Cloud, which
has over a hundred more population
than Wauchula and not a negro citi-
zen. One would naturally think that
those old soldiers who fought so no.
bly, to free the negro would embrace
him to their bosom when they moved
to the sunny South.

Formerly a $500 day hotel was
considered the limit of extravaganza,
but DOW it merely furnishes the bare
means Of existence to our wealthy
people.
When crops are short the consum-
err has to pay high prices on account of
the shortage, and when crops are abun-
dant the consummer has to pay high
prices because of the tremendous labor
cost oil the harvest.
The fall catalogues of the Chicago
mail order houses are arrived at the

issue. The question is in order Who
in the long run pays for heavy expense
of getting out these catalogues and the
prepaid postage thereon?
The teachers and school children of
one southern Wisconsin county took
both pleasure and profit in finding out
that 1853 of their farm homes were sup
piled with running water, that 308 had
bathrooms, ll3 septic tanks for sew
erage disposal, l02 had electric lights,
and l4l had acetyene lights. They
also learned that Sl9 of the farms of
their county we're equipped with silos,
that SO of their farmers raised alfalfa,
and that APO lived on rented farms.
The phrase "swat the fly that
folks have repeated jokingly has proved
to be not SO much of joke for the fly
after ALL Not so long but what most
of US can remember, houses. hotels,
grocery stores, meat markets and al
most every other place was infected
with flies from spring until late in the
fall But that day has gone by be-
cause we have learned to screen our
windows and doors and shut them out.
Not only have we shut them out but
we have shut them off in not leaving
garbage and stray bits of edibles where
it might draw them. Swatting the fly
and reducing the fly breeding places to
a minimum are important-to bear in
mind if we would assist in the fight
against the spread of disease and ex-
terminate what has proven to be the
direct cause in hundreds of cases Elk.
