ANOTHER PAIR OF
FIDUS ACHATES

The Tampa Tribune is becoming
less and less polite toward poor old
Cats. 1t said of him in a recent
issue:
When Governor Cats said that he
had been offered bribe by three men
ir his office whose names he did not
get, and that the thing happened
some nine months before he told it,
people said "wild talk"
When he stated in Tampa that it
was the Tampa Tribune that had at
tempted to bribe him, the people said
"more, and wilder. talk"
When he declared he was going to
revoke the charters of the phosphate
mine companies because they would
not consent to the labor agitators
running things as they wanted, there
went up loud "guffaw" from all over
the state because of this wildness of
his talk.
Then the governor declared that the
attorney-general was looking into the
legal aspects of the matter and would
hand down an opinion. And the
encouragement rises right up in
public and says 'T am not; and have
not even been asked to do So"
The Encouragement does not pro-
pose to get mixed up in this wild
talk and being supposed to be friend
Of the governor, explains it all in the
mildest possible way, saying: "Gov-
ernor Cats has never held any kind
of an Office and is very ignorant on
such matters"
If there's any one who knows the
governors ignorance and fear, it is
Van Swearingen. However, these two
political Fidus Achates should get to-
gether in their stories, or, at least,
"tell them closer together" as the old
negro told his master who called on
him to certify to the truth of some
most unlikely lies.

PUNCHING Up THE POUTERS

Joe Earman says in his Palm Beach
Post:
The most disagreeable man. wom-
an, boy or girl is one who doesn't
realize that life is a game of give
and take"
The pouter Is one, being denied his
own way at times, viii say and do
nothing.
In other words. if he cannot have
his own way. he won't play.
After all is said and done. the pout-
er IS the only one that gets hurt.
This is explained by stating that
non-participation or sulling never
gets one anywhere.
There is one practical fact that all
should know and remember, and that
is, when you fall out with a person OF
organization and don't speak TO OF
participate with them. you are lost.
Same old story-when men become
estranged or enemies and don't speak
to each other, they are lost.
There is one consideration for the
sLlking fool that he should always
remember.
Ey speaking to all, including his
enemies, an opportunity will be pre-.
sented 70 put over a proposition TO ad,
vantage at times.
When you don't speak to a man, be
he friend or an enemy, you are un.
able to do him either a favor or al
injury.
The sulker is an abominatiOn in the
sight of God and man.

was and there's no other term to call
it by.
"I've lost my garter" she said,
distressed like. "dive down and get
it,"
And she called us by the first syl-
liable of our given name. adding an
endearing adjective.
