It Is to be hoped that when ourfriends set out for the South Polethey will arrange to go one at a timeand so avoid confusion

Be sure to have your child enterschool on the opening day for a daylost in the education of your boy orgirl Is seldom made up In fact Itcannot be made up during the schoolterm

When women carry pet dogs intheir arms while out walking Insteadof wheeling their children they havebut themselves to blame for the un-

favorable Impression they make on allsensible people

After all the man who lives an in-

conspicuous life has his compensa-tions He has not to be guarded bydetectives when he appears In publicneither does a host of reporters de-

scend upon him and make his life-a burden everytlmc ho leaves hishouse

A convict sentenced to prison forlife is not legally dead So a NewYork court has ruled The sister ofn life convict applied for letters ofadministration on his estate on theground that her brother was legallydead The court said no and thatthe property would have to get alongas best It might until the man wasphysically dead or pardoned

Parents can do much to make ormar the school life of their childrenNothing will spoil a childs futurecareer so readily as unfair criticismof a teacher and nothing will domore to help make the teachers work-

a success than the knowledge that shehas the good will and cooperation ofthe parents Every sensible fatherand mother knows this and acts accordingly-

So long as class distinctions basedon wealth and accident of birth con-

tinue tbo ideal relation Between manand man will never be realized For-

a man because ho Is wealthy to lookdown upon the poor man who tollswith his bands or for tho poor manto harbor resentment against the manwho by honest effort and ability hasamassed a fortune Is all wrong Theideal social relation will como whenfalse class distinctions are obliteratedand the one difference between manand man be personal worth This con-

dition today Is more nearly approach-

ed in rural districts and small citiesthan In great populous centres whereartificial distinctions are so numerous

The entry of Judge Reeves of Waltoncounty Into the race for United StatesSenator will add now Interest to thecontest next year Judge Reeves Is

one of the best campaigners in Flor-

ida and the other candidates willrealize that he is to be reckoned withlong before the canvass Is over Hemade his start In life as a teacherand was Prof Sheafs strongest op-

ponent for State Superintendent ofSchools at the Ocala convention Theeditor of The Sun was associatedwith Judge Reeves for four years inthe State Senate and he was without doubt one of the ablest men thatever occupied a seat In the upperbranch of the Florida Legislature

DOfVT DIE ON THIRD

Maybe you are not a baseball crankMaybe some of the fan talk dont allpeal to you hut whatever you areand how you feel about it we wantyou to read this It struck the townof Detroit all right Detroit has abaseball club that has a hcblt of win-

ning games and maybe this kind ofbaseball editorial appeals to the

people At any rate it Is good

stuff Read It and think about It

It makes no difference whether youhavent reached first yet make up

riur mind that you wont die onthe difference between success

id failureThe hero of the Incident related isorge Moriarlty of the Detroit baseall team who Instead of dying on

uiird with two men out boat theball from the pitchers hands to thecatchers nut read for yourself themoral presented Then ruminate insilence and alone

All the worlds a baseball dia-

mond says The Detroit News Youare one of the players Perhaps youhave reached first by your own ef-

forts It may be that the sacrifices-of your parents or friends have enabled you to reach second Then onsomeones long fly Into the businessworld a fly that was not longenough to prevent him goingsomeones fluke on the rules of simplemorality and square dealing you haveadvanced to third The oppositionagainst you at third Is stronger thanat either first or second At thirdyou are to be reckoned with Youropponents converge all their attentionon you Pitchers and catchers

and opposing fans are watching totip off your plans and frustrate themFrom third you become either a splen-did success or a dismal failure

Dont die on thirdWhat ore you doing to win the

score that life Is ready to mark upagainst your name Third base hasno laurels on which you can restWhat are you doing on third Areyou waiting on someone to bat youIn Suppose he misses His miss Isyours too If you place all your de-

pendence on someone else his fail-ure spells yours What are you doing-on third Waiting for something toturn up Dont nothing turns upbut the thumbs of the thousands ofmen who watch you may turn downand make you a permanent failureMoriarlty wouldnt have scored hadhe waited for Mullln didnt hit theball and that run was absolutely ne-

cessary to save the game The runwas gained In an immeasurable frac-tion of time but the difference

success and failure Is veryvery often measured In seconds

Dont die on third Tampa

THE MODERN WAR CHARIOT-

An amusing Incident Is discussed byH H Windsor In his editorial In TheOctober Popular Mechanics lie says

The possibilities of the automobileIn warfare have certainly been over-looked by the military authorities although the great mass of citizens ontoot have known it for a long timeIt Is true Germany and England havebuilt a number of armed motor carscarrying rapidfire guns but theywould appear almost harmless besidethe plain every day article whenproperly applied

The ancients set much store by theirwar chariots some of which were pro-vided with great scythes sharp as ra-

zors which projected on either side ofthe chariot When a battery of these leda charge they literally mowed downthe enemy by hundreds before thedrivers and horses could be slain

Hundreds of years later In fact only-a few weeks ago the idea is reincar-nated and comes to life as a review-of the Territorial or volunteer corpsin an English village A party ofnewspaper reporters embarked in anautomobllewere taking notes and

pictures of the event nnd for atime all went well The car was oneof the common ordinary varietyguaranteed to stand without hitchingand all that Whether after centuriesof lethargy the genii of the machinebecame suddenly aroused at the sightof soldiery and possessed of an uncontrollable desire to again plungeInto a sea of blood or whether It wasa simple case of the chauffeur gettingrattled matters little The importantfact is that the car which bad beenstanding docile at one side withoutwarning plunged into the line ofsome 500 troopers which broke inconsternation During the few seconds of its activity the machine knocked down or ran over several score

pany of German cavalry or infantrywith guns or even an air-

ship It Is believable the Territorialswould have stood their ground untilthe last man fell but the awful irre-

sistible iianic of a wild and enragedmotor car and only a txvocylindercar at something whichput the bravest to flight-

In explanation It Is offered that theaction of the troopers were Involun-

tary like the closing of ones eye todanger that the habit of leaping andbreaking away on the nproach of acar had become so fixed as to be prac-

tically automatic The average citi-

DIVORCE FAIRLY OBTAINED IS A

BLESSING

Judge Henry II Drown former supreme court justice says

There Is no question connectedwith the administration of the law sofertile of litigation and so exacting-

of public attention as divorces Thou-

sands of decided cases have turnedupon their validity

The clergy have made them a spe-

cialty and have generally been outspoken In denunciation of the acknowledged evils and discreetly silentin respect to their utility Ignoring-the distinction between the causes forwhich they may be grunted and theprocedure by which they are obtained

That separation of church andState which is a cardinal principle ofAmerican jurisprudence Is nowheremore applicable than In that whichconcerns the marriage relation-

It Is not perceived why thecreated by marriage should BC i

far differ from a commercialthat one may be dissolved at

pleasure while the other Is absolutelyIndissoluble

A proper regard for the interestsof the State as well as the preserva-tion of domestic happiness would seemto require that when till whole object of the matrimonial compact hadbeen defeated by till habitual per-

sistent and uncontrollable conduct ofeither party and that relation whichshould represent the acme of hmnnnhappiness Is rondo to stand for nil thatIs most repugnant to our desires andanticipations n severance of the tiesshould b permitted

I cannot recall n divorce fairlyobtained without fraud and upon dmand personal notice to tho other sidethat did not apparently redound to thewelfare of the parties and prove a realblessing
