The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1913-12-05

A Washington dispatch says that
President Wilson is considering a
place near Corpus Christi, Texas, to
spend the Christmas holidays. Mr..
Wilson has shown such admirable
judgment in all things since he en-
tered the White House that we shall
take the liberty to discredit this
story which implies such serious
lapse in that judgment. With Flor
ida at just the right distance for a
Christmas outing, Incompatible in
climate, with grapefruit and oranges
swinging from every limb and the
woods full of ORIGINAL Wilson men,
we can think of no good reason why
the president should invade the
chapparel wastes of far-off Texas
where a norther is liable to freeze
him stiff any moment and compel
him to fully endorse what Phil Sher-
idan said about that too versatile
State,

Mr. Theodore Bilbo, lieutenant
governor of Mississippi. and one of
the slickest little schemers that ever
broke into the politics of any State
in this Union, has been indicted for
bribery over in his State. Bilbo is a
character, and in Mississippi large
proportion of the people believe that
he is a consummate knave, while
perhaps larger proportion of the
less educated element regard him as
their political Moses, who, next to
Vardaman, is commissioned of the
Lord to lead them out of the wilder
ness. He was smart enough to

The railroads all over the country
are almost piteously begging the in
terstate commerce commission to
permit them to increase their freight
rates in order to keep them from
starving to death, or words to that
effect. Doubtless they are not max
ing as much money as they would
like to and perhaps they are not
making as much money as they
ought to in view of their increased
expenses, but, looked at in another
light, it is merely retributive justice
to them. Those of us who are old
enough can recollect when our gi-
gantic American railway system was
in process Of construction all over
the country and they had their feet
on the necks of the people and dom
mated them with pitiless tyranny.
There was no interstate commerce
commission, no State railroad COM
mission, no agency of any kind to
restrict or restrain them, and they
flooded the world with stocks and
bonds, regardless of the value of the
roads built. The stock of every
railroad company was watered out
rageously during that formative pc
riod and now that things have set
tied down and the roads must stand
on their actual earning merits, they
find it impossible to make money
enough to pay interest On their
bonds and dividends on their stocks.
Whose fault is it? Their own, of
course, for they did the watering.
Squeeze that water out. abolish the
fictitious values and present freight
rates will pay fair interest on the
investment.

hitch his wagon to the Vardaman
star and it served him we'll for it
pulled him into Office and he pro-
poses to try next time for the gov
ernorship. Bilbo has brains, ambi-
ton and energy and there is no tell
ing where he will land-it may be
the pen, or it may be as Vardaman's
successor in the Senate.

Representative Clark, just returned

Good! This means that Mr.. Clark

The Ocala Star says that any fair
minded man would give a congress
man second term unless he falls
down during his first one, and the
Jasper News endorses the statement.
And that's just as true of the Sen

special force to Senator Fletcher, for
he has not only not fallen down, but
he has climbed up among the stars

says that according to government

tenth that sum. South Florida land
