A Question Of Personal Responsibility

A discussion has been aroused in Illinois on
the question of boxing bill which is pending in
the legislature. Waving for moment the fac
tor OF brutality involved in professional prize
fights, considerable portion of the residents of
illinois believe that the pending legislation real
~ infringes upon their right to determine for
themselves their own moral conduct.
They assert that every man has the right to
determine his own moral actions and that the in
fluence of the church in opposing sports is weak
ening rather than strengthening the growth of
religious bodies
The Chicago Tribune in an impartial manner
presents both sides of the contention and it
might be well for all of us to study the problem in
the light of the facts presented by the Tribune,
which follow:
Nevertheless boxing is manly form of athletics in
the opinion OF most who at all for sports from
the Greeks down to time, and oppon-
onts of the boxing bill really at bottom feel immoral

normal man likes to practice at least watch athletic
contests. of which boxing is of the interesting
forms. and, when clergymen themselves against

Besides religious guidance and inspiration the clergy
has an important function in the domain morals; but

When Vas Starr
Piano Company
Established

To the ability of George Trayser, an
Alsatian piano-maker, and the bust
ness judgement of James NJ. Starr,
is to be Jointly credited the founding
of the Starr Piano company in 1872.
Trayser was brought to Richmond
in that year by Starr, and the two
located a piano-making shop at North
Eighth and Elm. 1t was not long I'M
till Starr turned his share of the bust
ness over to Benjamin Starr, his
brother, and the plant was moved to
its present location, the river supply
ing water-power for the machinery.
In 1892 Henry Gennett took con-
troll of the company, and he and his
three sons have been the directing
spirits of the company since that
time.

DrecO, the Great Tonic, Fixed Me

At last the great question of how to
combat the modern scourge-stomach
trouble and its attendant ills-has
been solved by the new remedy Dire
co which is made from roots and
herbs. Liver and kidney troubles
and rheumatism may be traced, in
many instances. to the stomach as
the beginning place, Dreco not only
overcomes the disease. but hu;lds up
the system. purifies the blood and
revitalize,s the whole body
More and more people are coming
IN and giving their testimonials CON
corning what Dreco has done fol-
them in the most aggravated cases.
For instance, the following from Mr.,
W. r. Nixon, the highly respected
citizen of Gary, Fla, who says:
1--WE suffered for a long time from
nervousness. sluggish liver. dizzy
spells rundown system. Sometimes
would get so dizzy I would have to
stop my work and sit down. but af
ter taking one bottle Of Dreco all this
passed off, and | never have SPELL
in fact all my troubles are gone, and
| feel like new person | cannot say
enough in praise of this grand tonic
Dreco."
Dreco acts from the bottom up and
the results are usually lasting. for
it removes the cause instead OF just
patching up the symptoms. 1t thor
oughly cleanses the system of its
impurities, increases the appetite, re-
stores shattered nerves, relieves gas
on the stomach, drives out rheuma-
tism and banishes catarrh.
All good druggists now sell Dreco
and it is highly recommended in
Lakeland by Red Cross Pharmacy.

race. Mr.. Swearingen's opposition
to the Singletary bill, which provided
for the sale of the states holdings of

was favored by the state treasurer

1t is understood that Senator Doyle
C. Carlton, of Tampa, would like to
be the next governor Of Florida and
while he has not made any an
nouncement, is seriously considering
announcing later. He was very non
committal last night when felt out
on the subject and merely said he IS
busy now with legislative matters and
never attempts but one job al the
time. He also remarked in passing
that he used to be fond of racing
scrub ponies and had noticed that
they get out of wind in long races.
N. G. Bryan, of Osceola has often
been mentioned in connection with
the cabinet positions but frankly de-
clares that the only Office he would
be interested in is the governors OF

Frequent mention IS made Of Brig
