CITY OFFICIALS ARE BONDED
DESPITE REPORTS TO CONTRARY

The Editor of the Telegram Ger
tain parties are circulating report
that only one of the officials who
handle money for the city is under
bond to the city.
These parties are mistaken. All
of the officials who handle money
for the city are under bonds to the
city.
These officials and the amounts of
their bonds are as follows:
II. l.. Swatts, city clerk, bonded
for $4,000.
A. G. Armistead, treasurer,
bonded for $4,000.
R, l.. Marshall, chief of police,
bonded for $1,000.
The report that there is a short
age in the accounts of the chief OF
police is incorrect.
There has been paid into the city
treasury every dollar accounted for
in the police court docket.
Yours very truly,
DONALD F. MCLEOD.

election, the winner and the loser
until election day comes round again
and then spasmodically and hysteri-
cally rushes down to the polls ard
puts in one for John or Sam or some
other friend or sticks one in against
Bill or Joe because he hates him for
a little thing that has no bealin on
politics or the candidates fitness for
office. There is probably no man
that makes politics life study eX-
cept the newspaper man and the pol
itician.
The average man thinks but lit
about the affairs of his city, county,
State or country. He nibbles at the
news at the breakfast table or the
tea table just like he nibbles at his
hot rolls and bolts the important
news just like he bolts his cup of
coffee. He recks but little about the
affairs in general and usually takes
his neighbor's word for it that Mr..
So and So is running for office and
is rascal. Big affairs concern the
average man not in the least and
yet the high cost of living, the re-
duction of freight rates, the placing
of good men in Office are as vital to
him and his future welfare as his hot
rolls and coffee that start him out
in the morning to his days labor. -

B0ARD] F TRADE
HELD ROUS|NG MEETING

A good meeting of the Board or
Trade was held last night at the
Board of Trade rooms and good
attendance of Lakeland's live ones
was present to discuss matters of i'm
portance to the city's progress.
Among oIner Things the matter of
the proposed bond issue was dis
cussed pro and con, and the follow
ing resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That this Board en-
dorses most heartily the proposition
to bond the city of Lakeland for
$4,000 to provide an adequate cleo
trio light and water plant, and for
the other purposes outlined in the
plan now being considered by the
commissioners of the city of Lake
land; provided average rates not to
exceed cents per X w. for cleo
trio current and 10 cents per 1000
gallons for water supply, are guar
anteed."
1t is significant that among the
representative assembly of business
men present at the meeting there
was no opposition to the resolution.
Mr.. J. B. Smith objected to GER
tain phases of the matter but did not
express disapproval of the bond is
sue itself.
Another matter that came in for
discussion was that of encouraging
and fostering the principal of trad
ing at home. There were various
theories advanced as to why so much
money is taken from Lakeland to be
expended in Tampa and other cities
and action on the part of merchants
of this city to counteract this move
ment was urged.
A proposition of corporation to
locate a preceding plant for fruit
and vegetables at this point was dis
cussed, and the secretary instructed
to take such steps as might be prac-
ticable to secure the location here OF
this plant.
Several other matters of interest
We're up for discussion and the meet
ing generally had a tendency tc
bring the business men more closely
together and to promote the general
| interests of the community.

ONE MANS OPINIONS
BY N. D. COCHRAN


Teddy as a Knocker.-In 1912 l
liked the Bull Moose platform better
than either the Republican or Demo
cratic. l had attended the Republi-
can national convention as a news
paper man, was at Orchestra Hall the
night the Progressive party was born
and attended that convention, too. 1
liked the Bull Moose platform better
Il N the Democratic platform and
was in doubt as between Wilson and
Roosevelt.
This doubt finally resulted in de-
cision to take a chance on the Pro-
gressive platform, because it gave
promise of getting down closer to the
people than either of the old parties
had done during my lifetime. At the
time it reminded me of the emotional
and almost religious politics that
swept Golden Rule Sam Jones into
the mayors Office of Toledo as an
Independent.
AS between Wilson and Roosevelt,
/ had more faith in Wilson. AS be-
tween the Progressive and Demo-
cratic parties, l thought there was
more promise in the Progressive
platform and the enthusiasts who
had thrown over their old party and
had started anew, burning their po-
itical bridges behind them.
However, Wilson was elected and
the Democratic party came back into
power; and l have watched with in
terest Wilson's earnest efforts to
make his party as progressive as it
can be made; and even though 1
didn't vote for him l felt that the best
thing to do was to support him in
every forward move he made.
wanted to see him go as far as
he could with his party, although
convinced that the time would come
when he couldn't hold the reaction
airy and progressive elements to-
gether, and then there would be a

later on-for progressives with the
small p will soon or late get to-
gether in one party, and reactionaries
in another-and hold the boards until
the Socialist party, or some other
party representing the working class,
takes the lead.
But l can't see it with George w.
Perkins as the Bull Moose angel
Perkins of the steel trust, the harves-
ter trust, ]. P. Morgan & Co., and Big
Business generally. Nor can l see
it with Teddy trying to advance his
own game by knocking Wilson.
President Wilson has accomplish
ed much, considering the reactionary
element in his own party with which
he had to contend. He hasn't been
as radical or progressive as 1 would
have liked, but he has gone as far
as he could with the light he had and
the tools to work with.
For while real progressives out
side of. the Democratic party lent aid
and encouragement. But now
Roosevelt is leading them into the old
party hostility of the outs against the
ms. Instead of giving credit for
whatever good Wilson has done or is
trying to do, Roosevelt is picking
flaws and apparently looking only for
faults. That is the mental attitude
of knocker.
No matter who is president, be-
lieve in encouraging him to do all
possible good he can do for real
democracy; and when we've got him
to go as far as he can, then take up
somebody else who will go farther.
Roosevelt has learned much from
Socialists, but hasn't yet learned how
to be persistent fighter for princi-
pies he believes in and good waiter
while he's fighting.
Wilson may fall down on the home
stretch, because of the party load he
is carrying, but Pm for holding his
hands up while he is doing good as

HUERTA SAYS GOD
 IS WITH STRONGEST


 Victoriano Huerta, erst- while dictator of Mexico, was asked what he thought of the European war. He called for pen and wrote:
 "on the present war in Europe l should not speak. All that can be said is what have alerady said in the book of lady, which is as follows;
 "'God is always with the strongest; that is to say, the strongest is always in the grace of God. It is for this that one is the strongest"
 When asked to speak regarding the Mexican situation, General Huerta closed his lips tightly and made the sign of the cross'a as if putting the seal on. He said in English:
 Excuse me. Nothing"
 Few people at the respectable but unostentatious hotel frequented by middle class provincial merchants, where Huerta is staying, suspect that the little dark man with the Spanish looking family was few weeks ago President of an American republic
 The general seems a tritie dazed and bewildered by the yastness and the noise of London.

 Bills have been introduced in Con gress to abate assessment work for 1914 on mining claims in Alaska on principal grounds of changed labor and money conditions and absence of owners by reason of European war. desire to be advised if any such ab- normal conditions actually exist, and if there is any general sentiment to this effect among mine owners and works of Alaska; or whether 1t Is a mere movement of nonresident mine owners to save expenses"
 Gov. strons's Reply.
 Gov. Strong wired the following in reply to the Commissioners inquiry:
 No general sentiment among mine owners and workers Alaska for abate- ment assessment work Merely move ment nonresident owners to save ex- penses. European war has not creat- cd abnormal conditions except to in- crease supply labor rather than dimin- ish it. Bills should not pass"
