; No Racing:
) Without Gambling.
T" The Tampa Tribune editorializes, to
"lhe extent of two columns, on the evils
I i ef the race track as It now exists In
Florida and says that racing is; done
: (for in this state unless the gambling
I f feature can be eliminated. Says the
. .!jTrlbune:
The only chance for continuing
,1 racing in Florida is under the plan
.-'-outlined by the Tribune eliminating
J its gambling features, providing strict
official supervision for it, and com
. lining it.' as a side-issue only, with
agricultural and industrial displays
- v and other forms of amusement.-
; But is there an instance anywhere
C ef a race track paying with' the gam-
: bling feature eliminated? As a matr
; ter of fact,- It is the gambling feature
that makes the money and. when that
; Js abolished the racing has to stop.
; The law which goes Into effect May
1 prohibiting book-making and other
form's of race track gambling does not
, prohibit racing. None of the .state
" Jaws anywhere prohibit racing. They
reimply prohibit race track gambling.
Therefore, if all the Tribune wants' Is
'to prohibit gambling, nonew law on
; ihe subject Is needed. And If racing
can continue without gambling, then
' there is nothing In the wide world to
t prevent a continuous performance in
" any city in Florida.

Mr. Shea's list contained twenty-one

ance ef passes. A newspaper pass is
just like any other pass and therefore
a newspaper pass la prohibited, and
very properly - so. But some of the
railroads and most of the newspapers
thought the newspaper . pass waa a
pretty good thing and a test case was
therefore taken tip to the t supreme
court, ;
We do not happen to have a copy of
the supreme court's decision at hand,
but from what we can gather it stated
the facts and then laid down a line of
logic as complete and conclusive as
though it had been appropriated bodily
out. of TL Journal's editorials on the
same subject. v.
In .other words, the supreme cou
decided that a pass is prohibited and
that newspaper passes are just like
any other kind and are consequently
fon the prohibited list. The court rea
soned that If a newspaper could ex
change its advertising space for trans
portatkm, then anyone else could ex-
change his stock in trade for the same
thing, and If the exchange privilege
was extended to one 'It would mean
letting down the bars for all .Conae
quently if there is to be no dlscrlmi-
n&tionn the newspapers will have to
pay for their railroads tickets In coin
Just as anyone else does.
This is all as. it should ' be. The
newspaper man who can't ride and
pay for it. Just aa everyone else does
ought not to ride and under this ruling
he won't ride. . The railroad pass is
bad thing and It ought ' to have ' been
prohibited long before it was. : ;

Colonel Bob Davis, of Tampa,' re
quests that he be left out of the list

many of the friends of the former con
gressman as they were hoping to once
more see him In the harness and
working in the same energetic style of
yore. -Mr. Davis, if he were to enter
the race, would be a strong man, no
doubt, for besides his old friends there
are many who recognize his ability and
sincerity of purpose and would gladly
assist him In any way possible.
The poor man has something to be
thankful for. Last week Caruso had a
sore throat which cost him three thou

many new advertisers and the Feb

COMPULSORY EDUCATION ,
IS NEEDED IN FLORIDA
i.
Pine Barren ,Fla March 10. 1911. "
Editor Pensacola' Journal.
Nothing In the "Vox Popull" column
has interested me more than the sub
ject recently mentioned by the Rev.
Mr. Brown concerning the attendance
of school children. I think Walker An
derson haa found the sequel, that of
compelling the child to attend school,
Compulsory education Is what we need,
and the parent should receive tho
punishment for not sending the child.
Surely children as low as the fourth
grade are not compelled to help keep
the family. We live in the country
and have the same trouble in the chil'-
dren not attending, and I am positive.
in the majority of cases, it is only
carelessness on the part of the parent
in not compelling the child to attend.
Other states have tried compulsory
education and found It successful. Why
not Florida? A movement should be
started and not let another year go by
without passing, this law and then
rigidly enforcing it. A child should be
kept in achool from six to . -sixteen
years, and I am sure the schooling laid
down by this state would fit any boy
or girl at the age of sixteen to get a
fair start in life in any line of work.

Now that our brethren of the press
have had their fun over the failure of
the Herald editor to make good as a
political prophet, it is but Just to him
to explain that his prediction of 6,000
majority for Mr. Blount was made
merely to tease or "bluff' Brother
Goolsby, of . the Wauchula Advocate.
The prophet really thought that Mr.
Blount would win by 1.200 or 1,500. and
so he would have done, if Mr. Collin

The Value, of a Smile.
. It would be very Interesting anl
highly Instructive if one could compute
the value of what the smile has dona
inlthe history of the world. There are
statistics available whereby the wealth
of the mines of the world, the value of
the corn, wheat and fruit crops of
a : country and the worth of factories,
and even the sea, the air and climate
can be determined. But there are no
figures vast 'enough to express thfl
value of the simple little smile.
J-iKe the ray of sunshine, it comes
from the boundless heart of universal
love, it ,1s true; end so cannot be rela
tively valued. And like tl3 sunshlnff
again, it gilds with glorp all It fall
upon,, and so is limitless In value.
..If you smile in your mirror, it smiles
back; and it la the same with tho
world. - As soon as the world finds out
that you' have a pleasant smile it will
bring you ' many a pleasant story.
many a happy circumstance.
Case flees from a smiling face, but
looks upon a sour one aa an invitation
to come and abide.
Not all smiles have real sunshine in
them. . Some faces have-learned the
art of "making up" so well that even
a smile can be put on so Bmoofhly that
none but; a child can see its Insincerity,
A child that has not learned . to de
ceive has not yet learned how to be
deceived.
In every department of the commer
cial . and social world everywhere It
Is geniality that pays the biggest divi
dende on. -the . smallest investments.
There have been sweeter emotions
Bmiled than can be expressed in any
worde. The. . smile has always been
universal "speech. It has ever expressed
clearly this simplest the sweetest, the
greatest emotions of the human soul.

Large Watermelon Crops.
Parties who know and -.have been
studying the question, state that the
acreage, planted in watermelons this
year wiU.be. 17,000 acres and that the
cantaloupe acreage will be 300 acres
less than last year. This will probably
prqduce something like 8,000 cars of
melons and nearly as many cars of
cantaloupes. This Is some produce for
