Square Deal" In Letter To Re- view, Tells Of Proposed

To the Editor of the Review:-

 We will be unable to purchase the most common household remedies; not even allowed to have a bottle of soothing syrup for the baby not allowed to have Peruna for dear old grandma in the morning; not al- sary for cramp and coic; not al- lowed to have Paregoric, so neces- lowed to have liniment in case of pain or burn or scald not allowed 70 have a medicine for our horse, in fact, according to the enumerated 1 Hist on another page, it would be necessary for us to remodel our list | of medicines; or. in other words, 1t ' seems as 1T these advocates of the dry's amendment are not only going to prohibit every one of us from hay ! ing our beer in our homes. but are going to prohibit us from having all kinds of extracts Mlady cannot even have her favorite perfume or extract or Florida water. so essential to the lpleasing bath. It is not prohibition of the manufacture and sales of Ii lquor, but it is so drastic that it pro lhibits all of the articles that are ir common use in every household il the country.
 After thoroughly looking over th, l, things on the list of the numerou D articles which will be prohibited un - der the law over the entire state, | seems as though our foreign friend ] had been entirely too anxious and to- !. over-zealous for the welfare Of tn

The Suwannee Democrat has
achieved a notable triumph in it's
Fair edition, copy of which we
have just received and it makes a
new record for the journalism OF
Live Oak, which is going some, for
there have been at times mighty
nice special editions issued from the
print shops of that enterprising
little city in years past. This issue
of the Democrat contains twenty
eight pages, large part of it book
paper Of the best quality, profusely
illustrated with remarkably fine
pictures of prominent citizens Of
Live Oak and Suwannee county ana
attractive scenes in and about the
city. There is also a fine advertis-
ing display, and the copious guam
tity of reading matter is in excellent
taste and effectively presents THE
advantages of the city and county
to the reading public. This beauti-
full edition of one of our favorite
exchanges shows the unmistaka BILE
handiwork of Mr.. R. L. Sweger,
who was appointed manager of the
paper several years ago by Mr.. Nc
Cormack, and whose indefatigab BILE
energy, experience and judgment
have made many improvements in
the paper. In this special edition he
was assisted by Mr.. w. c. Van
Hoy, a newspaper man of ability and
training. We have heretofore re-
marked that people abroad Judge a
community by its newspaper, and
wherever this issue of the Demo-
crat is seen it will make favorable
comment for the city and county
that support it.

WEEK OF SELF DENIAL

Once each year for one week the
women of the Methodist church who
belong to the various missionary or
CARNATIONS set apart a week for
special prayer and the practice of
some form Of self denial. The result
of this denial is brought or sent
daily at the time and to the place
where prayer is offered. The aggre-
gate is never large when measured
in dollars or set over against the
blessings they receive. But the dis
cipline that comes of unselish
thought for others, especially when
that thought is attuned to prayer.
brings a blessing to every partici-
pant by reflex influence.
This feature of their week" will
be given peculiar emphasis this year
by reason of the widespread war
which is deluging Europe in a Grim
son tide and plunging millions Of
our sisters with their helpless chill
dren into the calamity Of dire pow
erty and distress. Surely every
Methodist woman in Lakeland,
whether a member of the missionary
societies or not, will not withhold
some offering as thanksgiving to
God for His Astounding mercies to
us and as an act Of personal special
self-denial. REPORTER.

THE LITTLE SPO0KS

written for Lakeland Telegram.)
A little band too small for books
Came to my home last night;
They said with polly laugh, yves
spooks"-
Gave me an awful fright!
With faces white and blue and red,
Oh, they did look so sweet!
Down to the dining room I fed
To see what could get.
To please these spooks, these angels
dear
Cakes or nuts or candy;
1t almost made me want tC swear
When none of these were handy!
\ saw again sweet childhood's days,
The happy long ago
When life was full of joy and plays
And not a care did know.
Oh, little spooks, dear little spooks,
Come to my home again:
Your joyous laugh, your winsome
looks
That drove away my pain
Brought back again the days of
youth,
So full of life and joy,
Made me again in love and truth
A romping little boy!

Says the Apalachicola Times. For

BEGINNING A NEW YEAR

With this issue the Evening Tele-
gram enters upon its fourth year OF
publication. On the first day of
November, 1911, not without mis-
givings, born of the warnings of our
friends, who doubted the wisdom of
attempting the publication of daily
newspaper at that time, we launched
the Evening Telegram. 1t leaped
Immediately into popular favor and
has become an institution firmly
fixed in the affections of the people
of this community. 1t has not
pleased everybody, but where it has
one critic it has a hundred friends.
1t has not had easy sailing at all
times, but if it has had troubles and
financial worries, the public has not
known of it, and the paper has gone
on, day by day, and year by year,
preaching the gospel of optimism,
progress and good cheer.
We enter upon another year with
confidence in the future Of the pa
per, and of the splendid city it is
trying to serve. The policy of the
paper has always been to promote
harmony, peace and prosperity; to
keep down prejudice, pessimism and
factionalism; to aid in every worthy
work, and to strike a blow in be-
half of every rightful cause. We
shall continue in this course, giving
to every man and interest fair
deal, and earnestly advocating the
right, as we see it, without fear or
favor. And, pursuing this course,
We feel that we have the backing of
the fair-minded and intelligent citi.
zenship of Lakeland, and that we
can count on the continued CO.
operation and support which has
made it possible for us to furnish a
newspaper which all admit is a
credit to the city-,a newspaper in
the real significance of the term.

Some of the West Florida papers
are making it very warm for Con-
gresham Wilson of that district
just now and are charging him with
ingratitude to faithful and de-
voted friend because he went
back on Chipley Jones who was a
candidate for postmaster at Pensa-
cola. The papers are speaking out
so plainly that the congressman
ought in self-defense to say some
thing in reply. One of the terrors
of holding an office that carries pat
ronage with it is That enemies must
be made as well as friends and
sometimes the latter are transmitted
into the former.

1t has not always been our. pleas:
ure to'agree with allthe1 political ut.
terances of Theodore Roosevelt but
from him it must be admitted there
comes great political wisdom. In
commenting upon his advice to the
Progressive party to endorse Mr..

of New York, he said:

not save our souls by passing nice
little resolutions. {S
This is not a party organized pris
marily for men to get office" he
continued. Occasions arise such as
the one last year in the city of New

Where 1t is useless to put Pros
gressive ticket in the field as 1t has
proved to bein New York, even with
the leadership Of Mr.. Roosevelt I'd
carry the fight to the people, lie has
very wisely decided that the way I'd
fight the enemy is to join forces with
q party that has a chance Of electing
its ticket.
If this is good politics, and a good
thing. for the Progressives OF New
York, the fountain head OF the Pro-
gressiye movement, why is It not
good politics in West Virginia?
The Progressives OF this state still
may learn much from their iilustri-
Gus leader, Mr.. Roosevelt. In the
First Congressional district the. Pro-
gressives demonstrated the fact last
fall that the largest possible strength
they can expect, as evidenced by the
vote Of Mr.. Laughlin, that they had
then only a little more than 3, 900
votes in the whole district, but they
are not trying to fight the enemy
now as I'M. Roosevelt is, but by put
| ting Mr. Harmer in the field they
are aiding the enemy, and that is
