The Baptist men held laymen's
meeting Monday evening to plan an
organization of their laymen. This
will be composed of men only. They
will meet every Monday evening.
Those present were very enthusiastic
over the work.

appointed for the two tribes of In

hatred. The disastrous overfiows
which have caused much suffering
among the Seminoles and some to the
Cow Greek Indians. These circum-
stances have drawn the two tribes in
to nearer relation to each other, see
ing that conditions must be changed
or great sufferings for both would be
continued. They decided to have a
get-together meeting near LaBelle and
have a jubilee as in olden time. The
Cow Creek Indians have a tract of
farming land near the upper part of
Lake Okeechobee not far from Bias
senger, in Okeechobee county. The
two tribes have put away all enmity
and will be friends for the time at
least. Many women will be present.

conducted the various songs and other
stunts for the amusement of the Ro-
tarians and their guests. OF course
there were the usual Rotary songs,
Mrs. Joe Johnson as usual playing the
accompaniments. The big event in
the program was the Armament Con-

Many articles made by them will be
sold then, the proceeds to be used
to alleviate their sufferings. 1t is said
there are near to 450 Seminoles.
The Indians will engage in the old
tribal ceremonials, songs and dances,
which are almost forgotten, as only a
few of the old Indians remember
them.

SUPPORT DIRECT
ELECTION OF PRESIDENT.

Let us have L. national direct Dri-
mary. 1T is time the American peo-
pie and not a handful of American
politicians picked and elected the
President of the United States. Sen
ator Norris has introduced bill for
the abolition Of the electoral college,
but if this great reform is to become
effective, the Nebraska Senator must
have the solid support of the people.
This in one time when every man and
every woman of voting age should
write letters to their Senators and
Congressman urging them to restore
to Americans their right of franchise
by supporting the Norris bill.
The electoral college stands as
nothing but the symbol of defiance
of every principle of democracy; in
deed, the whole world has wondered
how such an archaic institution has
been tolerated in country supposed
to have government majority.
The proposal for direct election
needs no further brief than Breck
enridge got only IL electoral votes
against 70 for the Kentuckian.
Since then the election Of minOrit!
president has become notorious, ant
the fact that the nominees are chosen
by the bosses and that the people
have little voice in the choice of thei
president, has been a standing indict

THE CAR SHORTAGE.

For the five years up to 1907 the
increase in, freight cars was five mil
lion tons. For the next seven years
it increased three and a half million
tons. but, for the next seven years
it increaaSd less than.a million, tons:
The tonnage, or supply Of cars does
not begin to increase as fast as the
demand, for it, and this is the most
serious brake on the coming of i'm
proved conditions. Herbert Hoover
thinks this is the result of too
rigid control of the railways by the
government Their rates are con-
trolled the wages they pay are con-
trolled, and most of their expendi-
lures and extensions are controlled.
No business can prosper If 1t is con-
tralled SO the managers can have no
initiative Old time railway magnates
like Hill and Hartmann and others
seem to have dropped out of the rail
way service and turned their atten-
ton to industries where they have a
free hand. A wise and broadminded
control of the railways may be nec-
essary, but judging by results they do
not have 1t now.

Call. DlmpIes Marks Of Beauty.

Is the dimple mark of beauty? Or
is it the maid with that bewitching
birthmark and the Cupids bow mouth
less beautiful and intelligent than her
sister without these attractions?
DIR. A. 8. Warthin, eminent pathOl0-
gist Of the University Of Michigan,
says they bear relationship to the
harelip and the cleft palate which new
err yet in this or any other land have
been accepted as beautiful. They mark
a girl as 'below par" says Doctor
Warthin.
He said 1t during lecture on 1.-THE
Inheritance Of Disease" in which he
made 2 direct appeal for eugenics, bet.
ter living conditions that should breed
better humans, and 2 plea for the rec.
ignition Of certain inheritances.
he declares that the old pfoverb,
Blood will tell" has proven it's truth
throughout the ages and that today
this fact was becoming recognized and
that civilized people were at least con-
sidering what could be done to breed
a better race.

ment Of the virility of the people
Themselves, who have supinely per-
mitted the condition to exist.
The contention that the day has
passed when the electoral college
dare fly in defiance of the peoples
vote is beside the issue. Even an
honest vote is not representative, and
the fact is that open disregard of the
public will remain possible.
The world war has brought to the
United States more than one awaken
ing, perhaps the most notable re-
alization that the American people
must take the government of their
own country into their own hands
and by that is meant that the sixty
millions of Americans resident in the
small towns and on the farms are the
balance of power, and should not be
squelched at the behest Of interests
in the cities, by interests that have
political bosses hamstrung and obed'
lent to the crack of the whip.
Country America can and must
dictate the presidency of the United
States. AS a start to our political
Renaissance, the sooner we throw the
electoral college into the discard the
better.

John D. Rockefeller, Jr., has again

don't run an automobile unless you
can afford it, don't have a phono-
graph unless you have money for
such luxuries," work eight hours a
day conscientiously, obey the author

except possibly during working hours
and respect prohibition.
Thus the young multimillionaire
revamps the reactionary rules Of life
laid down by the rich for the poor
for ages, the recipe that has spread
the spirit of socialism further than
anything in the world.

Words Once Written Cannot Be
0bliterated.
Never Really Wise to Commit one's
Self Too Strongly on Paper
on Any Subject.

There are few precepts more worthy
Of acceptance than that which bids N
to beware Of the written word.
Think before you speak," is excel
lent advice. Think before you write.
and then don't write or at any rate not
what you had at first intended to saw"
is better.
TO write thing is far more serious
than to say 1t. The glamor Of per-
sonal presence IL not there to color the
meaning; the charm Of manner, the
shades Of tone are lacking; the bare
words must stand on their own merits.
We forget too often that written
words cannot be followed by immedi.
ate explanations. may not be modified
by infection Of voice or glance Of
eye. There can be NO illuminating
gesture. no merry or tender facial ex-
preston.
Moreover, 1t II impossible to fore
see the frame Of mind In which a let
ter may be received. 1t may be q
mood to which perhaps the writer
would never have addressed such
words could he or she have known
beforehand.
All this applies to ordinary letters
written in confidence between friend
and friend. stu more does 1t be.
hoovs women to beware Of what they
write to men. It 10 always best to
BE- on the safe side, ana not too near
the edge, either.
The strictly punctilious person who
would entirely prohibit letters between
lovers would be hard Of heart, indeed
What IL more. any such objection
would be useless. What would become
Of parted lovers II they might not
write to one another1 Telling ones
love on paper may be IN indescribabls
comfort when 1t cannot be told BY

Nevertheless 1t ID well for even fond
lovers to remember that sweets are

rarity. Affection should, II possible.
be tempered with discretion.
Assurances Of love In Z woman's let.
ter ought to b like the seasoning Of 4
salad-carefully proportional and not
too strong. The love which shows BE-
tween the lines 10 more alluring than
that which IL openly expressed.
Nor is 1t wise to commit oneself too
strongly on paper with regard to what
one will or will not do In the future
All these good resolutions and fair
promises are apt to confront one later
on to ones confusion and dismay.
1t is useless to urge prudence upon
people in love. ITO love and to be
wise in love is scarcely given to the
gods above"
What, then, can be expected from
mere mOltals? When frequent meet
ings are impossible, the love letter has
a more important part to play in court
ship. Still, if people, women especially.
would only remember that engage
ments are not unbreakable, and that

tended sometimes see them. 1t might

Mr.. Silver's analysis is obvious

The result evidently heralds the

fact that the real party in which Am.
