As Others See 1t
THE sWEpr HOUSE !
by DR.. william E. Barton:1


The age in which we live has great faith in
legislation. There time when we sought
to save men from drunkards' graves by moral
suasion now we have prohibitory amendment.
For that amendment ] thank God. do not see
how any sane man can know the curse Of strong
drink and not be fanatic in his opposition to
it. | am not fanatic; am almost snfully reas-
enable about IL. ! believe in all laws that will
make it easy to do right and difficult to do wrong.
But know very we'll that such law will in
itself solve our problems. The only effectual and
permanent way to make men sober is to strength
en- their moral nature. That is the only way to
make anybody good.
All the legislation since Hammurabi and Moses
will not make man good; it only make it
little harder for him to be bad and little safer
for his neighbor
When we have passed our good laws have
only begun our duty. We have still to educate
and strengthen and help to create moral pur-
pose and righteous standard of living.
There is an odd parable in the New Testament
about an uncean spirit cast out which wanders
about homeless for while, and then comes back
and brings seven worse spirits to live in the
swept and garnished house,
That is the story OF moral reactions the world
over 1t has happened million times in the
cal life of the race Reforms do not stay
formed unless they get a righteous sentiment
behind them.
We need to fill up human life with much
that is good that there shall be less room for
the spirits of evil purposes and plans
Casting out evil spirits is well enough in its
way, and sweeping the house is good; but after
the housekeeping there is something to be done
to make life positive, strong and sweet.

The people of northwestern Florida may be
little peeved because. for the last few years. south

have more to hope fror. Florida than from any

The greatest public need in America IS sim
plihed tax lava law which it costs only the
actual taxes to obey. Our income tax law is a
nonstrosity. 1t reverses all legal maxims proceeds
on the theory that all men are thieves until then
honesty is demonstrated. and that the. demonstra-
hon is good for only one year at best and makes
every man try himself before federal officer with
all costs assessed against him whether he wins OF
loses. The income TAX is probably as good way
to collect revenue as any that the present genera
ton is enlightened enough to stand for, but its
whole system of assessmnt and collection needs re-
visng.

HERE'S PRIZE JOKE
OF POLITICAL SEASON
Ex-Mayor Saml Rice Neglects to
File Necessary Papers to Get
On Urinary Ballot

The prize joke of the present
political campaign was pulled
Oy former Mayor Sam'l Rice and
he laughingly admits it.
Mr.. Rice forgot TO file his pa
pers as candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination for Mayor with
in the prescribed time. In fact he
never did file them He went over
to draw his place on the ballot
along with the other candidates
and their friends Tuesday and 10,
and behold, he came to a realiza-
ton of the fact that he had not
filed the necess 1ry papers, duly
prepared and sW orn to as requir-
ed by law.
Mr.. Rice is therefore not a
candidate for Mayor Of Richmond
which will be quite disappoint-
ment to hi7 many friends. He
had alread, started a vigorous
campaign and had announced 9
platform which set forth his view
and his record of past service t.
the city and taxpayers. Mr.. Rice
took the matter in good spir1.
and told the other candidates Il
go TO it, that they have his sym
pathy.
There are thus only four cantli
dates in the race for Mayor--
present Mayor l.. p. Evans, Tef
ID. Mitchell. Robert Golden ans
w T. Blanton.
Mr. Rice has issued the follow
ing card to the public about tI:t
matter:
Through a misapprelon<i:,n 0

declaration papers in time VIII
the County Clerk, and an there
fore barred from being voted fo1
in the primary August 5. l sc
gret this mistake very much rs |
believe / stood fair chance OF
winning the nomination. | thank
my many friends most CORDIALLY
for their loyal support, and ir.ist
that at some time in the fururc ]
may be of service to them.
Respectfully,
