THE DIGNITY
OF MARRIAGE.

4 prominent clergyman recently
stated that he attributed the divorce
evil largely to the thoughtless infor-
maIitv Of civil marriages. He had
found that statistics show that most
Of the marriages brought to the di-
vorce courts are contracted under ci-
vii instead of religious auspices.
Now don't get gay and cry poppy

There is a rich mine of solemn
truth in this simple proposition.
1t is the natural instinct of woman
hood to make a great deal of mar
riage. The woman who is fit to mar
" ar all regards her marriage as
the most important event of her life.
And woman dearly loves pomp and
displav-most Of ali at her wedding.
1t i due to her dignity that her mar
riage be made as important an event

Would be Party to Robbery

Ocala Star: One of our prominent
citizens, who has been keeping an
account of the number Of officials
suspended by Cats, says that if the
state senate replaces them in office,
and gives them their back salaries, it
will cost the state at least 100000.
He saws that candidates for the SEN
ate and house of representatives
should pledge themselves not TO e
imburse said officials for money lost
during the time of their suspension
It will certainly be a great injustice
to the people to pay for Cats petty
tyranny. and at the same time it is
an Injustice to any official to be made
the victim of the same evil influence.
Some of the men the governor has
suspended undoubtedly deserved to
be fred. and if an official who is sus-
pended from his office thru the gov
ernor's whim is able to make a good
living, he should be more patriotic
than to demand, if replaced, any back
pav. The best thing to do is to be
very careful whom we elect next year.

Compliment to Florida College

Palm Beach Post: The Literary
Digest is generally accepted as an en-
inent authority on all matters educa-
tional and literary. Floridians,
therefore, will hail with no little SIT
isfaction its reply to an Atlanta faith
er who requested advice as what col
lege his daughter could attend to her
best advantage. The Literary Digest
thereupon named two colleges. One
was Wellesley and other was the
Florida State College for Women at
Tallahassee. The "bracketing Of
these two seats of feminine learning
is even more satisfactory than would
have been the selection of the Florida
College alone, which might have 0een
suspected of resting on geographical
considerations.

argument that "prohibition hurts

spectacle" liquor people to ague for
in West Palm Beach. Hence they
NAV welcome this latest arraignment
against prohibition. 1t is pointed out
that bad roads are the direct result
of prohibition. The elimination of
the liquor traffic reduces the number
of convicts until it is impossible to
find enough to use in road building
work. The whisky people in Palm

payers how hurtful it would be to have
no booze to make criminals to make

The regular biennial convention of
the National Federation of Music
Clubs was recently held in Birming-
ham, Ala. when about 500 women
from all parts of the country met and
held business meetings and concerts
in that CITY. This federation gave
great impetus to the members who
were fortunate enough to attend its
convention, and the next biennial is
planned as pilgrimage to Peter
borough, N. H., to the home of the
Mcdowell colony for creative ar
lists there. The federation has pledged
itself solidly behind the Mcdowell
COLONY idea, and its aid will be a val
liable support to creative work and
right in line with the aims and pur-
poses of the federation. Among the
important plans of this organization
is the plan to create a demand for a
minister of fine arts at the nations
capitol, with a commission of music;
to promote an increased appreciation
of music among the American people,
and to secure a hearing for worthy
Young American artists and a closer

Individual responsibilities is main
tanning the fuel situation and the
necessity of economy in regard to
coal are discussed by DIR. Samuel G.
DRiXon, State Commissioner of
Healths in a statement on Heat and
Health during the War" issued to-
day in which the chief health guar
dian takes people to task for waste
fulness. He declared bluntly that
people do not appreciate their re-
sponsibility in crisis like the pres
ent and that the average ashpile can
be made to yield much which will
make up for the coal shortage.
DR.. Dixon says in the course of
his talk that he guarded against fuel
shortage conditions at one of the big
state institutions by getting separate
sets of CRATES and having wood pre-
pared. The result has been that 10
one has gone cold.
The commissioner says:
Heat Is the first essential to life.

animals cannot in their first days in

enough to sustain life, and the sma'
