is Of the blond type of loneliness of a
Dresden china figure. Dainty, chic
and sweetly alert is she. Her softly
Enassed hair, gUiltless of wave or orn-

charm that Greuze himself might have

Noting the shipment of Florida
cattle to Chicago, the Palatka News
says they will probably come back
to us in the form of reshipments of
meats for which consumers will pay
from five to ten times the price the
Chicago packers paid for the ami
mails. Hardly so much as that, for
those same packers are mighty short
of cattle and they are paying top
prices for them wherever they can
get them. Somebody must raise the
raw material for market, and the
beauty and significance of the item
is that Florida is shipping cattle in
trainload lots to Chicago for excel
lent prices and we are seeing the
beginning of great and profitable
industry for our State that will in
crease in magnitude every year if
our cattle raisers are equal to their
opportunity.

The Tarpon Springs Leader dis
claims any specific reference to
baseball in its recent criticism of
the newspapers for giving so much
space to sports. 1t referred to
prize fighting, horse racing, ETC., as
we'll as the ball games, and says
that it heartily approves of such
sports as are clean. The Leader
says its point is that "the amount
of sporting news in the larger daily
papers is not in balance with the
other news features. 1t over-shad-
ows the space devoted to matters
pertaining to real human welfare,
materially as we'll as spiritually. ="
This brings up the fundamental
question of whether the newspaper,
within the limits of decency and
without fracturing conventional
morality, should cater to a vast va
riety of tastes or whether it should
seek to form ana elevate inferior
tastes by persistence in high forms
of literature to the exclusion OF
sports or minimizing them to their
proper relative importance. But
good literature, appealing to higher
qualities rather than competitions
in athletic skill, is not diminished in
quantity in our big dailies to make
room for the sport stories. There
is space enough to print the matter
that suits all tastes and in that lie:
the strength of the modern dali!
newspaper. 1t has plenty for al
classes of readers and that gives i
the circulation without which it il
a dead engine.

The Tarpon Springs Progressive
ought to keep itself posted about the
doings of the Florida commission To
secure an exhibit for this State at
San Francisco. That paper refers to
Vessels as "the financial expert
who is now at work for the Florida
State commission of the Panama
Pacific international exposition :"
Weeks ago the commission publicly
announced that all business rela-
lions between it and Vessels had
been severed, and that person is
doubtless now in New York, or
some other distant part of the coun-
try attending to his private affairs
certainly he is not attending to
the affairs Of the Florida commits

THE w. c. T. U.
REPLIES TO POLICE

Editor Telegram and Gentlemen
of the Police Force: 1t is custom
airy. l believe, to allow ladies the
privilege of talking back" This
should have been in Saturdays pa
per, but as heretofore stated w. c.
T. U. women are, as rule, busy
housekeepers, especially on Satur-
day. In answer to our worthy police
force, would like to say to point one:
1t is the first time l ever heard that
police were blamed when boy
goes wrong. As rule the blame
is laid where it usually Belongs
to the parents. We do not expect
the police to keep the children at
home nights. This would be i'm
possible for them to do. This also
is the parents duty. AS We under
stand it, the duty of the police is
to enforce the law. When a COM
mittee interviewed Col. Edwards in
regard to the passage of a curfew
law, he made the remark that 'it
seemed to be interfering with the
parents government. The answer
was made that the law was not in
tended for law-abiding parents
those who would see that their
children were at home at the prop
err time, but for those who seem to
take little interest in their chill
dren's whereabouts or who cannot
control them. There is where the
policeman comes in, and please give
us credit for some common sense.
We certainly did not mean boys
who were engaged at work, al
though it is seldom that legitimate
business in Lakeland is kept open
until 12 o'clock except on Saturday
nights.
when a boy wants to smoke a
cigarette does he walk up in front
of a policeman to do it," No; nor
neither does a thief when he wants
to enter a store. If you don't see
them smoking just ask almost any
one else who is on the street if they
have. when bunch of young
boys want to play a game of cards
do they go out in the public parl
and playa" No, we guess not. Blu
we thought our police were watch
ing other places besides the park
1"As to the assertion that officers OF
the force are betting on the bal
game, we will thank any person t
bring us proof of this. Until tina
is done our names are clear, an
unless there are some change
made on the force they will renal
so for some time to GOMEZ We. ar
: very glad, indeed, gentlemen, If tn
: assertion is false. But we do nc
quite understand the latter part {
that paragraph.

That heavy firing first heard
off the east coast of Florida about
ten days ago and supposed to indi-
cate a sea battle between British
and German ships, has now gradu-
ally worked it's way west and at
last accounts was vexing the atmos-
phere in Mobile bay. Possibly the
press censors aboard the ships in
action concluded that the SUPPOSE
titious roar of the guns was all the
war news we were entitled to under
the existing rules of the game.

1t begins to look like the begin
ming of the end for the German in
vasion of France if the dispatches
are reliable. No troops were ever
subjected to heavier strain or driven
more relentlessly by their officers
than those of Germany during the

human endurance, and exhaustion,
combined with the shot and shell Of
the allies, promise to bring the
campaign to a disastrous conclusion

The Clearwater Sun has discov-
cred from recent paragraph in the
Telegram that this paper is now
heartily in favor of the Frisco
moving picture exhibition. The
Telegram is purely philosopher on
that proposition and is entirely will
ing that the reputable gentlemen in
charge of the program shall go
ahead and make it success if they
are able to. 1t costs the State
nothing and no citizen is obliged to
contribute to it, unless he feels SC
disposed. AS for "the press agent
ing for funds" what's wrong about
it? 1t is an age of publicity and
press-agenting and no enterprise oil
any magnitude worth while can gel
along without it. We doubt if the
commissions program can be car
ried through, for the time is short
and there is no enthusiasm about
the matter anywhere in the State
but we see no objection to it ant
feel under no obligation to put OBJ
stacles in the way of the public

I'm Accord With Us"

Some time in the late 'S0's, we
think it was. or possibly in the
early '9O's, several eminent Flori-
da politicians undertook to re-or-
ganize the the Democratic party
in Florida. They issued a call for
"a meeting of those Sin accord
with us" and took other steps
preliminary to the accomplish
ment of their designs,
We should he glad for some one
who has preserved a record of
that movement to publish n brief
account of it. At this juncture in
public affairs, it would proye very
interesting. Our recollection is
that one or more gentlemen now
conspicuous in state politics were
leaders in the movement, and the
people would be glad to know
their names and what they pro-
posed to do in the days of railroad
arrogance and aggression.
The names of the leaders were
signed to the call, which was pub
y
lished, and, in addition 10 the call,
they sent letters to various promi-
nent men inviting their attend
ance at the conference and urging
the addresses, if they themselves
could not attend, to send in their
stead only such delegates as they
knew to be Gin accord with u.s."
We do not remember how the
resulted, but it was
greeted with so much ridicuIe by
the newspapers that, we think,
nothing came of it. @
Editors Jno. M. Caldwell of
the Jasber News, and Frank HAIR
ris of the Ocala Banner, have ex-
cellent memories, and we wish
that one or both of them would
publish an account of this move
nent, which caused so much mer-
'iment at the time.
