The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1913-11-28

The resolution of Congressman
Clark introduced in the House the
other day extending an invitation to
Charles DeLesseps of France, to be
present at the celebration of the op-
ening of the Panama canal was
doubtless prompted by courtesy, but
DeLesseps himself might easily look
at 1t in another way. His father
Ferdinand DeLesseps, was the first to
attempt to dig the canal and he made
stupendous, utter and ignominious
failure of the undertaking. He died
OF grief because of that failure. and
the worst feature of it was that thou
sands of his countrymen who had
been induced by his representations
to put their money in the venture
lost all they had by doing so and a
vast amount of poverty and suffering
mostly among the middle and lower
classes, resulted. Charles DeLesseps
could hardly fail to feel chagrin and
humiliation in large measure at wit
Messing the splendid triumph of
American genius built on the ruin
wrought by his father. Mr.. Clark
might with perfect propriety with
draw his resolution.

The death of three prominent rail.
way presidents of the South in the
past few weeks, all in the prime of
life, measured by years, shows how
the tense conditions of modern bust
ness life are killing off those upon
whom the strain falls most heavily.
It took centuries of CESSATION in the
womb of the human race before it
was ready to breed such men as Fin
ley, Emerson and Parrot, and at the
summit OF their usefulness they are
stricken down under the intolerable
burden of a civilization speeded IN
almost beyond endurance. And in
every business, as we'll as railroad
ing, caught in this pitiless mael-
strom, the toll of death is equally
heavy and increasing every year.
The planets rush through space with
lnconceiyable rapidity and man
seems striving for the same gait. but
It is much safer and more comfort
able to take life easier.

The sheriff who deliberately neg
lects to do his plain duty in enforc-
ing or attempting to enforce the law
is something in the nature of a coun-
ty calamity because he is a distinct
encouragement to the lawless class
and practically incites them to
crime. Certainly there can be only
warm approval among good people Of
the act of Governor Trammell in sus-
pending from office the West Florida
sheriff who made no effort to break
up the "blind tigers" in his county
and after being duly warned was still
remiss in the discharge of his duty
and didn't seem to care anything
about the matter one way or the 9TH
err. A first-class sheriff who hates
