The people of Lakeland are ad-
vertising for municipal manag-

liens, prepared TO surrender into
the hands of a hireling the dearest
right of free people; that of COY
erning themselvcs?-T Times.
Well, we haven't hired him yet,
and maybe we won't, for it will take
a very superior man of rare iudg-
ment, tact. force of character and
executive ability to hold down that
job and perhaps that kind cant be
had. But even if he can and We
give him the job he'll be our hired
man, won't he? And a hired man
doesn't generally boss the people that
hire him and make them dance to
his music does he? It's the other
way around, isn't it? In employing
a municipal manager the people of
Lakeland would no more surrender
into his keeping the dearest rights
of free people" than the owners
of department store or any factory
or transportation line would give
up their rights in their own proper
ty to the man they hired as business
manager. The power that hired him
is always back of him to regulate
him or fire him bodily" if it wishes

simply in the cause of efficiency in
the management of the property.
Our city commissioners, who are the
servants of the people of Lakeland
as much as any board of aldermen,
would employ and discharge a bust
ness manager just as the board of
directors of a railroad company
would, and with that power of Of

is no danger that he would rob us

We can't understand why the Gus
tom of appointing young ladies as
sponsors for Confederate soldiers
was ever introduced or why it
should have obtained favor from
them. There is neither good sense
or propriety in so doing Jasper
News.
Just to give the grace, beauty and
fragrance of lovely young woman
hood to the occasion; to force a
smile upon the grim, wrinkled front
of Mars, as it were and relieve the
sober shades of the picture by the
vivid coloring which pretty, joyous
girls always impart to their sur
roundings. Perhaps they too much
divide with the old soldiers the in,
terest of the crowd, but We suspect
that the crowd itself would not be
nearly so large if the sponsors were
omitted from the program.

AN OUTSIDE TRIBUTE TO
THE FLORIDA PRESS

We have long been of the opinion
that the Florida press taken as a
whole compared favorably with
that of any State in the Union, and
this opinion is based on considerable
knowledge of the newspapers in
most of the States. Florida is grow
ing as no other Southern State is,
and its public journals as the her
aids of that growth are keeping
Just little in advance of it and
performing their trumpet service
with a zeal and efficiency which at
tract favorable attention outside
the State as we'll as at home. In
proof of this read the following
from the Industrial Index, the lead
ing publication of its kind in Geor-
gia, published at Columbus in that
State:
ut is doubly interesting to read
the daily and weekly newspapers of
Florida. In the first place they are
themselves interesting, for they are
enterprising and progressive and
discharge their public duty in a
most creditable manner. The spirit
that animates the Florida press.

dailies down to the correspondents
CT the weeklies, in obscure hamlets.
is as interesting as it is signifi-
cant. Florida is a great State that
is just coming into its own. Its peo-
bic realize now. for the first time,
what they have and how much the
future has in store for them. They
have found their stride and are re-
ioicing in it. Florida just now is in
State of marked development.
The very air is filled with enter
prise. The average newspaper work
err is saturated with this spirit. 1t
has spread to every section OF the
State. Practically every local news
paper correspondent in the State
has the virus in his system. The re-
suit is that building news. improve
ment news, good tidings of bust
ness and industrial development,
feature the Florida news. The av-
erage correspondent seems to be in
love with his city; town or village.
as the case may be. He wants the
world to know all about what is
going on there and in his happy
eagerness is apt to tell the story
over again several times in the
course of the month; but the State
news editors seem to be imbued
with the same spirit and pass the
copy along to the printer for the
good of the cause. Other States
could we'll afford to become thor
oughN inocrlated with this same
Florida spirit =

The cause of woman suffrage in
this country has made wonderful
progress through the action of the
States themselves. and Congress
very properly repudiated the effort
to put it into the federal constitu-
ton through proposed amendment
to that effect. One of the crimes in
American history, as stupid as it
was malignant, was the adoption of
the Fifteenth amendment giving
wholesale enfranchisement to the
negroes of the South, and if the
women Of this country are to get
the franchise they should and will
only get it through the action of
the States, each DISCRIMINATING the
question for itself.

The Waste of Food.

No 9th er civilized country
wastes foodstuffs as we waste
them. If all the crops that the
farmers raise were utilized, all
the meat animals that are killed
eaten, all the fish that come into
the nets marketed, hundreds of
thousands who are now hungry
would be well fed and the agita-
ton of the subject of high prices
would not attract much atten-
ton.
. Conservation of foodstuffs in
it's broad sense means not only
the saving of the excess produc-
ton of flush seasons for the sea-
sons of scarcity, but it means al
so the systematic, scientific care
that prevents Wormy apples or
windfalls, prevents the fermen-
tation of carload after carload of
corn, prevents the rancid butter
from the dirty farm or the rotten
eggs of the tainted chicken.
The toll of the farmer results
in the production of foods. Faul-
ty handling from the time the
apple is ripe. the egg is laid or
the hSh caught-fOr IN essentials
our fishermen are comparable
with our farmers-reduces enor-
mously the amount which finally
reaches the consuming center
and lowers to even a greater ex-
tent the quality of a large pro.
portion of that which is saved
from the crematory of the dump.

Dancing in Different
Lands.

The men and women of races
spread all over the world have
shown a marvellous skill and pa
tience in imparting rhythm and
music to the most unlikely, the
most rebellious regions of the
body, all wrought by desire into
potent and dazzling image. To
the vigorous races of northern
Europe in their cold, damp elm
ate, dancing comes naturally to
be dancing of the legs, so natur-
ally that the English poet, as a
matter of course, assumes that
the dance OF SalOme was a CWln'
king of the feet" But on the
opposite side of the world. in ia
pan, and notably in Java ant
Madagascar, dancing may be ex
clusively dancing of arms ant
hands, in some of the South Sc
islands>even the. hands and fin
gers alone. Dancing may eve
be carried on in the seated pos
\ ture. as occurs at FIJI in a dane
