And there it may be we'll to con-
slider that no man can have more
than one real mother. as we phrase
it, but may have many spiritual
motherS-mothers who think.
p "ELIZABETH SANFORD"
Cites Churches and Schools.
For the really good girl of today,
l have the utmost respect, but | am
sure that the per cent of good ones
is getting smaller and the bad ones
are increasing.
II would say the large fault is
with the individual and the fathers
and mothers who allow their daugh-
ters to dress in a manner to coax
the 'masher,' and in not knowing
where she goes.
Conditions have been getting
worse fast in the last 10 years. You
will find these conditions in the
churches and the school rooms.
Il know of girls who are teaching
country schools who make weekly
trips to the nearby towns to spend
the weekend with gentlemen
friends. I have known of cases where
delegates to Sunday school conven-
lions spent night with gentlemen
friends.
my cure for this is to restrict
the public dance hall. consider
it the most demoralizing influence
today. Also get to the hotel en-
plcyes, and if the police and the
parents watch the rest, | don't be-
lieve many girls will slip, unless it
is their own will.

DEMOCRATIC DOLLARS

We had a letter from Treasurer
Marsh Saturday, in which he said,
please, for goodness sake, send ammu-
milton; that so far as sinews of war
were concerned the republicans had
them about fifty to one.
In the same mail came a letter
from Mrs. Alma w. Kelsey, a citoyen-
ne of Stanton, proud of her new cit
izenship and willing to pay for the
privilege. She enclosed a check for
81, and we wish there were thousand
newly enfranchised voters like her in
Marion county.
Looking up from our table Sunday,
we saw a big, work-hardened fist
pushing dollar toward us, and be-
hind said fist the beaming features of
our friend George Howell, who was
sure that the better the day the bet
ter the deed.
Mr.. c. H. Hogan, Monday, handed
US dollar, saying he thought it was
the duty of every democrat to give
something to the great cause, and
give it as quickly as possible
Going to the telephone office, to
hand over to Treasurer Gary the load
of cash that was making up lopsided
to tote, we ran across Eric Collier of
the White Star transportation line
and decided to pry him apart from
democratic dollar. 1t came loose
easy.
Democrats, the time is growing
short and your party needs funds.
Don't you think you ought to give?

The Jacksonville Metropolis made
a very fair argument on our remarks
few days ago on women voting for
the bond amendment, but partly spoil
ed it by saying:
ct appears that this paper has sud-
denly been impressed with the fact
that ninety per cent of the women of
Florida are going to vote in the adj
vocate ranks in November"
The Star hasn't been impressed
with the idea that 80 per cent of the
women Of Florida were going to vote
for bonds and hasn't said so. The
Star has its faults, but it does not
nisquote the printed word of con-

Since the Negro press has never

a great purpose were it not for the IN

southern state might put upon this sec

AFRICANS GIVING

Presbyterian Missionary Tells Of Life
in the African Jungle.
Aman's standing in africa is based
on the number of wives he has. The
biggest problem on the clark CONT
nentD today is that of the women
They are the abject slaves of the men,
It g considered dishonerable for man
to work.
This is the statement of B. M. Schl-
otter, a Presbyterian missionary, who
is spending his vacation in Houston
Belgian Congo. Mr.. Schlotter was en-
gagged in field work throughout his four
years in Africa, with headquarters at
Luebo.
In speaking of his experiences Mr..
Schlotter said, "The natives live en-
tirely by superstition. Everything
that happens is given some uncanny sig
nifcance. If a party goes hunting and
fails to bring in game it is blamed on
some one. If lightning strikes a tree
some inocent person is selected by the
tribal medicine man as the cause of it,
and he is punished or fined.
"The natives are absolutely cropping
in darkness. They want to lear1fs but
of Christianity is going a long way to
wipe out polygamy. Then, too, the Bel
gian government has started system
Of taxation on wives, and that has done
great deal to abolish the evil.
Low Whites Worst.
ttThe worst influence on the natives
is that of low class white people in the
large centers. The people there are al
ways noisy and lawless, but out in the
country the natives are very simple
and quiet, but extremely ignorant. The
natives have no home life. They live in
mud huts and wear primitive clothes
The home life of the missionaries sets
an example for them, and they readily
pattern after it. When a villager dies
the nearest relative furnishes food for
the festival that follows, ~and it lasts
