Th decision was In theMissouri Jiivw and Denver rate case-

The results of this decision will beto deprive the commission of the ini-

INJUSTICE TO MR HOLLOWAY

Several of our State exchanges haveindulged In undue criticism of StateSupt W M Hollowny for his procla-mation regarding the fraud in theJune examinations practiced by ne-

gro teachers who made use of paperwhich had been stolen The Sun feelquite confident that if the edltorowho have Indulged In these criticismswere as well acquainted with thefacts us we are they would have atleast been more lenient

Sonic of the negroes implicated arethose In whom Supt Holloway andhis predecessors had heretofore re-

posed the most confidence and the evi-

dence ellc ed at the investigation In-

GaineHvllle was sufficient to causeProf Holloway to lore confidence In

every negro engaged in the profes-blon of teaching The Sun feels thatProf Holloway woN fully justified In

Issuing his Big Stick proclamationfor the rascally methods practised bycertain negroes in Alachua and Duvalcounties in the tune examination wastmlficlent to exhaust the patience ofany man

The Palatka News Is bitterly oppos-

ed to the legalized saloon In theGem City and will do all In its pow-

er to defeat the purpose of the whis-key Interests should an election becalled as a result of the petition nowbeing circulated In Putnam countyReferring to the matter The Newssays The people of Palatka by theirrepresentatives the city council wanted bar rooms so very bad that ata recent meeting of that body the annual city license tax on saloons wasraised from 210 to 1000 This ofcourse would be in addition to the

1000 trod to the State and countyThis ordinance was simply to provide-for a possible contingency At thepresent time saloons are prohibitedbut as a keeperis canvassing the county to securesignatures to a petition for a wet ordry election and as his stock argument in Inducing signatures Is to theeffect that the people of Palatka wantsaloons this action of the councilwill tend to refute such argumentThe same council made the license taxfor dealers in toy pistols 100 Thisalso It Is presumed was done to en-

THE FACTOR OF PERSONALITY

It was not hero worship says The

Financial Age that caused the In-

tense interest of the financial and com

nerclul world In Harriman health

but consideration of the overtowerlng-

iioritlon of this man in the economic

affairs of the nation It was simply

A cold business proposition for thedisappearance of such a iwrsounllty

of mighty brains and activities wouldmean the loss of a valuable asset of acountry which has gained by his con-

structive railroad abilitiesProgress in every line is not the

work of chance but of men It was

Harriman who built up a mighty railroad empire The territory he hasdeveloped did not grow by accidentor It might look differently if anotherman would have tried to develop It

It Is personality that makes history-

or starts progress or moves commerce-

or creates values and shapes the eco-

nomic affairs of nations The worldtoday would look differently had

or Napoleon I or GeorgeWashington cr Lincoln never existedNothing on a large scale can beachieved Without leadership On allgreat events the force of individuality-

Is stamped While the world alwaysmanages to adjust itself to new con-

ditions and no man of destiny afterfulfilling his mission Is found Indlspenslble yet like the Individual It

does not like to lose valuable men

POINTED PARAGRAPHS

Hes a stingy man who will not giveyou a smile

An easy beginning doesnt alwaysjustify the finish

Time will tell unless the gossipsbeat It under the wire

Too many men try to build a sky-

scraper on a onestory foundationOpportunity sometimes has to kick-

a man before it can wake him upOccasionally a man is forced to call

on his uncle before he can raisethe ante

A girl never knows how to lo any-

thing that a nice young man Is willing-to teach her

Beware of people who pat you onthe back They may be looking

opportunity to kick your feet fromunder you

Fools in glad rags are often per-

mitted to rush In where unlaunderedhobos would be knocked down anddragged out

If there one thing In a newspaperthat interests a fat woman more thanthe bargain sales it Is the obesitycure advertisements

There are 15000000 worth of buttons made In this country every yearyet lots of men use nails to connecttheir suspenders with their trousersExchange
