Daily Poem
SUCCESS

We gather the gold and store it,
And the whisper is heard, Success
But tell me. we cold white sleepers,
Is thai achievement the best?
We struggle for power and win it,
But 10! like fleeing breath
1t is lost in the realms of silence,
Whose ruler and king is death.
The glory is the most in the doing,
And not in the trophy that is won,
The house that is built in the shadows
May shine in the rays of the sun.
Perhaps in the ultimate judgment
The effort alone will avail;
Carry on; weary exhausted pilgrim
The faint-hearted only will fail

FOR AUTO THIEVES
(Plant City Courier.)

Sentiment is growing that hanging is about
the only remedy that will break up the stealing
of automobiles. While we never approved of
lynchng-except in nstances-there seems
to be much reason in the excuse to hang an
automobile thief as there was in the days when
it was considered good form to hang a horse
thief-because the automobile has undoubtedly
supplanted the horse.
