Live Oak daily Democrat. (Live Oak, Fla.) 190?-190?, 1907-11-30

Here is a very neat and appropriate
little houtonniere for Storrs, of De-
Funiak, gracefully rendered him by
the late Speaker of the Florida
House of Representatives, Editor
Matthews of the Starke- Telegraph:
While We had fully intended to,
we believe We have not yet seconded
all the good things Editor Frank
Mayes said a short time ago about
Editor Storrs, of ! the DeFuniaK
Breeze in connection with the guber-
material succession. We think there
can be no doubt that Editor Storrs
would make Florida a wise and good
governor, and while. he seems not to
take very kindly to. politics. if he
should go out after the plum he
would be an important factor in the
campaign"

AS TO DIRTY TOWNS.

There is no more excuse for a dirty
town than there Is for dirty man, and
the proper measure of energy, pride
and self-respect is all that is required
to cure the evil in both cases. Streets
habitually Uttered with trash and
punctuated with mud-holes, alleys
rocking with refuse, neglected side
walks or no sidewalks at all, dilapi-
dated fences and gates. unsightly
yards, and a general air of careless
ness and Indifference to appearances
all these help to lower the tone of
the community, impair its real pride
and finally resign 1t to squallid con-
ditions in which It is content to live
and die. A dirty town is an open
confession to mankind of the absence
of community qualities which each
man claims for himself individually,
but for which he viii get no credit
with the outside world so long as he
is content to live amid surroundings
which contradict his claims. All of
which reminds Us Of st. Augustine,
and the way she took hold of herself
recently and gave herself a clean
ing-up'' WHICH was an example to
every other town in Florida II is
noble theme for the newspapers
beats politics all hollow-and the
Miami Metropolis handles it as fol-
lows:
Mayor Masters, of ST. Augustine,
is not only making good. but he is
setting examples that other Florida
mayors shoul& take notice Of A
short time since Mr. Masters had a
general cleanup" day in the An
cient City. The citizens joined with
him in the crusade against filth and
the result was that St. Augustine
had such a cleaning up of premises.
streets, etc, as it had never known
before. But this is not all ST.
Augustine is clean and Mayor Mas
tiers proposes to see that il stays so,
or as nearly so as possible, and to
that end has addressed a letter to
the city marshal calling attention to
the ordinance providing against
throwing dodgers. circulars, sugar
cane peel, etc., into the streets, and
directing him to see that the pro-
visions of the law are enforced. Law
is one thing but enforcement an
other. Miami has an ordinance
against littering the streets by throw
ing trash. refuse. etc. upon them,
but it is like dead letter; il is-not
enforced. But why? The explana-
ton can come only from the city
authorities, if one can be made at
all. Mayor Masters has set a good
example. Every city in Florida. in
Guiding Miami. should have a clean
up day, and after they have become
clean, pass ard enforce ordinances
that viii keep them clean. 1t looks
like it is up TO you. Mayor Wharton.
