Leaving Fulbert and Oxus. who
were so difficult to surprise, in utter
Amusement severac slowly left the
laboratory.
severae's Passion
Following the gallery. severae
reached the nrst landing OF the prin-
cipaI stairway before the door open
ing into the vomen's quarters. which
he believed to be occupied ~ Moi
He stopped = moment, looked at the
door, and. with q smile OF pride and a
gesture Of hope, he descended the
stairway.
A little farther down he came to
another landing upon which opened
fve doors The three at the left were
those OF the workrooms. the maya
zines, the kitchens, and the apart
ments Of the domestics. The two at
the right opened into a gallery lead
ing to the bedrooms and the refec-
tory of the associated brothers, and
into q hall upon which gave the IL
Severac's own apartment.
This last was composed OF three
rooms IN a row-a library and smok-
ing room, a bedroom. and a bath. and
an electro-technical laboratory.
SeVerac stepped in the bedroom.
No sooner was he inside the door
than his face changed expression.
Cold and impassive as he had been.
his countenance became instantly mo-
bile, and animated, with shining eyes
and lips trembling with emotion,
great beads OF sweat stood out on his
pale brow.
The engineer sank into an armchair,
and his tumultuous thoughts burst
forth into rapid words. pronounced In
dry concentrated voice, but per-
fectly distInct-that voice in which
long repressed men Of passion give
free rein to their true sentiments.
"Oh, Moisette." he exclaimed, you
are mine! It Is all for you, dear one!
II is because ! must have you that
have renowned all my past life. For

AN INCIDENT

We were on our way to the district
conference. An invitation had been
extended to take supper with a farm
er's family, parents of Florida Meth
odist itinerant. What a supper. No
common cooking at all. That was not
a store bought supper. Fried chicken,
of course, and brown gravy, home
made biscuits. green corn, sure enough
coffee, genuine home made sweet
cake, and other things too numerous
to name. The preacher boy had
brought his wife and two children for
a short visit to the old home. How
proud the parents were to see the
children" and to welcome them to
the fiireside. Such sweet faced
mother I have rarely seen. and she
was all smiles, too. While dining
remarked upon the joy Of such home
coming, and how fortunate that
preacher man. That sweet faced
mother stood by that son. her hand on
his chair, and said something like
this: Il am proud of my boy. 1 would
rather have him to be a Methodist
preacher doing his Lords work than
to be a success in any other profes
sion" She meant it, too There was
pathos in her voice, but triumph in
her eye. Proud mother, Honored
son! ]. H. Daniels has two world pow

PEACE

The imperial German government
was negotiating a fake peace the first
of the year Suddenly President Viii
son was spat upon and the ruthless
undersea war was decreed Since
that time the mad kaiser will recol-
lect that the United States Of Amer
lea has entered the war. that Greece
is with the allies. that South Ameri-
ca is about to enter on the side of the
allies, Great Britain has not been
starved, Spain is growing restless,
Russia has not quit the campaign
in Mesopotamia has been successful,
China is in the balance and the Ger
man people, long led by halter are
beginning to think, beginning 10 re-
alize that they have been duped.
When the German people finally
awake TO the realization that they
have place in government and can
WELD a democratic stick instead of
being ground to death by despicable
militarism and high-handed autocracy
there will be peace. But not before.

Before the converting of a next
senate, governor might scour the
country for new specifications The
first duty OF the next legislature
should be to enact a law, whereby an
officer. before being punished with
suspension would be placed on at
least equal terms with the worst
criminal in the state. In suspending
an officer the governor should be re-
quired to put the officer on notice
as to the particular nature, time. place
and circumstance of his misconduct
The governor should be required to
give the suspended officer a hearing
before removal. provided the public
interest would not suffer 'grievous
detriment thereby. The governor
should be required to give hearing
to the suspended officer within thirty
days of the date of suspension. II
the governor has sufficient data to
suspend an officer Immediately after
the adjournment OF the senate and
has it before its adjournment, he
should be required to make the sus-
pension before such adjournment. If
the senate does not concur in the
suspension say two years later look

EX-GOVERNOR GiLCHRiST
GOVERNOR CATS
ON

/ Hon. Albert w Gilchrist, ex-govern-
or of Florida, has written an "open
letter" to several newspapers of the
state, the Ocala Banner among the
number. on the removal power of the
governor
The ex-governor quotes the statute
in full, which places this power in
the hands of the governor. 1t is
shown that the statute places around
this power certain restrictions and
limitations, one of which is that it
must be done for cause.
The ex-governor also cites a decis-
ion Of the supreme court which says
that this power must not be exercised
by the executive from mere caprice
or to satisfy a prejudice, but must be
for a legitimate reason.
The grounds of removal must be
stated, and if it is not sufficient the
injured official can go before the sen

salary refunded to him.
removal by Governor Fleming is
cited. where the governor not only
named the offense for which the ofti-
cial was suspended. but stated Il
day and the hour he offense was
committed, but yet our understanding
is that he was reinstated.
Then Ex-Governor Gilchrist pro-
ceeds as follows:
'As to suspensions by the present
governor No hearings, or statement
as to time. place or specific instances
OF the constitutional grounds Of re-
moval have appeared in the various
removals, except in the case of the
suspension of the sheriff Of Clay

he was absent from the state for about
month without notice and without
leave and was then still absent.

'Nr. Marcus Endel, inspector OF
chemical division OF the agricultural
department of the state was asked to
resign, in order TO create a more har-
monious feeling among the different

del referred to the harmony between
himself and the other inspector, Mr..

you to let me know He answered:
Mr. Endel. there are no charges
against either one. I want these jobs
for my boys, my friends Mr. Endel.
this is a game OF politics. These are
quotations from what Mr. Endel
writes is substantially the converse
ton between him and the governor.
Consider that the senate adjourn
ed June /, 1917, and unless called in
extra session does not convene until
the first Tuesday after the first Mon
day in April, 1919 Some think the
charges for suspension were known
as we'll before the adjournment of the
senate as two or three weeks after
ward Consider that, If the senate
shall refuse 20 remove, or fail to take
action before its adjournment thar
no suspended officer shall suffer any
loss of salary Or othe rcompensation
in consequence of such suspension.
The following officers we're suspended
during June: The compensation OF
the first four is from their reports to
the comptroller for the year ending
