tnat call for new constitution is
q test of progressiveness. We hear
no general demand for it, and while
the present organic law is faulty.
Its defects can be cured by amend

heavy cost of a constitutional con-

Florida truckers are pinning their
faith to watermelons as a money

Suwanee county has 5000 acres in
that cooling and comforting fruit,
which is certainly going some; the

Governor Mann, of Virginia. is
considered pretty level headed man
not given to radicalism. emotional
ism and fads, and we notice that in
his message to the Legislature he
has recommended the enactment of
an eugenic marriage law. The day
is coming when our enlightened pos
terity will look back to these prim-
itive times and wonder that their
ancestry were so crude, raw and un-
thinking as to throw no legal safe
guards around the marriage relation
looking to the improvement of
the race. We enact and enforce
laws to prevent the entrance of un-
desirable immigrants to our country,
and by parity of reasoning we should
seek by statute to improve in some
degree at least the quality of that
much larger volume of immigration
we are constantly receiving by way
of the marriage relation.

CARD FROM GENERAL cox
r. F. D. Route .,

Lakeland, Fla.
i Editor Tele9ram-For man,
years ! have favored a commission
form of government for all town,
and cities.
AS understand it, this form elm
mates all partizan and factional ac
tion and provides the machinery tt
secure honesty, efficiency, economy
and publicity in it's administration
The law that gave Lakelani &
commission form of government was
very loosely drawn.
This was done through careless
ness, ignorance or design and has
already cost the taxpayers more than
six hundred dollars and will cost as
much more before it is perfected.
The Supreme Court in seating the
present city fathers has given the
people the shadow but not the sub
stance of commission form of gov
ernment.
The present board are all good and
honorable men, but four of them, on
account of their vocations, cannot
give much of their time to the busi-
ness of the city. his leaves a great
burden on Capt. Bussard, but he
has. provided. two. shining. legal
lights to illuminate his rough and
rugged pathway.
In the new deal the writer was
'elegated to the rear and like an
I'D worn out horse was turned out
o Craze. He cheerfully submits to
authority and retires to
lis little country home where he
ropes to pass his few remaining
ears in peace and content amid his
ruits and flowers.
Here's sigh for those who love
me;
A smile for those who hate,
md whate'er sky's above me
Here's heart for every fate"

Late Municipal Judge.

One of tht inevitable incidents

ONE of tht inevitable incidents
OF a wet or dry" campaign in
yla live town is the yawp of the panic
preacher and calamity howler, both
OF which classes work overtime in
predicting the collapse of business
IA the town and an exoduc of en-
terprislng citizens as though some
deadly epidemic were lowering over
the community. 1t is an old trick
that has been worked in every town
and city in America where the peo-
pie sought to vote out the liquor
trafiic, and as prophecy it has never
made good in even one instance.
The assumption that the legitimate
commerce and industry of a town
rest upon ample and open facilities
right at hand for unstinted drunk
enness and debauchery is impudent
and stupid nonsense and magnifies
the whisky dive and beer joint as
business institutions" to an extent
that would be ridiculous if it were
not outrageous. There is a prohibi-
ton campaign on in st. Petersburg
now and these calamity howlers are
predicting dire disaster to that city
II the saloons are voted out. To
hear some of them preach one would
think that the chief object of tour
lists in going to St. Petersburg is to
keep comfortably ''soused' during
the winter months, and without
open saloon facilities to that end
they would quit the town in dis
gust. 1t is significant commen-
tary upon this kind of argument
