FAUNCE ON DEMOCRACY

Z This paper was not moved to comment on The
baccalaureate sermon CT President Faunce at the
Brown university commencement, because it did
not see anything new or striking therein
The notion that among the various imperfect
forms Of government before us, democracy is, per-
haps, the least evil Is not particularly inspiring
And that is about what we gather from his re-
marks. The price of democracy is constant
trouble, the give and take Of open discussion, The
ebb and flow Of public opinion the danger of re-
Eersals and experiments. We accept these things
as better than the fancied securities CT Louis XIV
Or Kaiser William is fair statement of position
Z New, there are persons in Ibis country, and We
Know some Of them here in Lakeland, to whom
democracy is not thesis but an a;.iom Il IS not

agogues. That is an argument against one of
the Obstacles in the way of democracy and not

THE. FUTCH CASE AGAIN

Tampa is still fussing over the Futch case, the
latest development being the indictment for per-
jury of one of the jurors who tried the defendant
That is all very well, but it does not secure Futch,
who is now travelling somewhere on his own ac-
count, nor meet the demands of justice which re-
quire that he should be punished for the crime
which he scarcely denied Nor can the buck be
passed to the trial jury.
When Judge Robes ruled that under the in
dciment he could not be tried on the incest charge
the possibility Of an acquittal the other charge,
which required the affirmative proof of force as
one of its clements, stared the prosecutor in the
face. He must have been sanguine. indeed, if he
did not see the difficulty of making his proof cor
respond to the technical requirements of the charge
he was seeking 10 Establish
1t was open 10 him then and there, before the
case even went to the jury to secure warrant for
Fuich charging The other ofcnse, and place it in
the hands cf the sheriff with Instructions to re-
arrest the prisoner in the event Of an acquittal.
Why was this not doncp And even if the prose
cutor was absolutely sure of conviction, and sur
priscd half out CT his wits by the verdict, why did
he moi then procure warrant.
No new law was introduced, no unusual ruling,
no unexpected turns. The outcome exactly
what an experienced advocate had right to hope
when he took the defendants case That justice
nliscarred through technical defects in the plead
ngs is evident, and while those defects could have
been avoided and should, we believe have been
forseen when the indictment was drawn. they were
not fatal even as the case developed if the prose-
cutting authorities had taken prompt steps to pre-
vent the absolute discharge of the prisoner.

TEACHING GERMAN
(Tampa Tribune.)

(Tampa Tribune)
The Tribune is pleased to note that Ohio's
preme court has upheld the law prohibiting the
teaching of the German language to students in
the Buckeye state. And SO the thing runs on,
and foolish laws multiply Because we went to
war with Germany and aided in her chastisement,
is that any reason why we should deny ourselves
education in the language of Goethe and
Heine? Is that reason for compelling folk to
sit through the operas of Wagner without under
standing word that the robust Germans sing to
US? 1t was not so many years ago that America
went to war with Spain and beat her in a short
time; and studying the Spanish language con-
tinued in the country. 1t is little different,
however we grant, between Spain and Germany.
We have ill will against Spain at all; in fact,
our feeling is one of friendship. Whereas we
loathe Germany; at least we despise the class of
Germans that started the war;
But the knowledge of languages adds to a per-
sons education If one speak German, one
can read much what has been written that is
worth while. Passing a law preventing people
from learning one of the mother languages of the
world will be step in making gnoramuses-
at least it will prevent knowing certain things
that should be known.

And keep cheering someone on.
There's lot of sorrow round you,
Lots of lonesomeness and tears;

Through the shadows of the years.
And the world needs more than triumphs,
More than all the swords we've drawn;

A GOOD OLD IDEA

The idea of an celess refrigerator presented
by the Florida state college of agriculture is none
the worse for being an old one. Indeed, the best
of wisdom is knowing how to apply old notions to
new conditions
Iceess refrigeration is perfectly practicable
where evaporation is sufficiently rapid. That
plain wooden box. wrapped with thick blankets
which are kept saturated and kept drying, will
cool provisions down to a comfortable tempera-
ure, at practically no expense, is easily demon
strated and where ice not easily obtainabe, it is
a valuable makeshift.
From time immemoral water has been cooled
that way The Arabs practced it thousands of
years ago. The early explorers of the west took
advantage CT that principle to keep drinking water
cool while travelling over the torrid plans. 1t is
praciiced today on a big scale, canvass water
bottles being an adjunct to all western automobile
trips. These bottles filled with water and hung up
in or on the car, where the wind can strike them,
slowly cvaporate, and their contents are many
degrees cooler than the surrounding atmosphere

up other ancient practices with profit to the public
