WHERE CALIFORNIA SHAMES US

Thirty years ago southern Califor-
MIA was for most part an unlovely
land to look upon, parched and
arid waste given over to cattle, cac-
tus and side-winders Today it is in
conparably lovely in its profusion of
fruits and flowers and beautiful
homes, and the appreciative visitor
to that section, with his senses cap
tured by all the glowing colors and
rich fruitfulness around him, wants
to invest his money there and live in
land to which nature has been so
kind. 1t is region of pretty homes,
not only in the cities, but in the
rural districts, and the secret of it's
drawing power is in these same
homes, each a gem set in emerald
green lawns embroidered with pro-
fusion. of flowers of every color of
the rainbow.
Nature has done more for South
Florida than for Southern Califor-
MIA, and while the time will come
when we can rival her in beautiful
homes, it is still far away and we
have hardly more than made start
in that direction. In this kindly soil
and climate there is no reason why
every home in Polk county should
not have its lawn and flowers to
hide the sand if only the energy, am
bition and taste be present; and the
time will come when the householder
without these will suffer in the es-
TEEN of his neighbors and they will
wonder why he prefers a graceless
home set in a small desert of sand
and weeds for his wife and children
to spend their lives in to a beautiful
living spot adorned with we'll kept
NRot anrlvff7S90$. .7S9O$. ....
lawn and flowers to which they can
point with pride. It is as sure as ma
ture itself that the type of the home
largely determines the type Of the
people in it, and from unlovely squat
or comes the inferior class as certain
ly as the cultured and enlightened
from the homes of grace and beauty.
One of the sure ways to draw good
people to Florida and silence the
tongue of invidious criticism and dis
paragement is to show the mhomes
where energy and taste have done
their work and green lawns and flow
ers and we'll kept yards have made
the face of nature fair, hidden all
its ugliness and proved the presence
OF an educated and progressive popu-
lation.

tached the fatal tin can to the rem

respect Mr.. Stockton personally, but
we are constrained to regard him as
a canned candidate from now on.

The progressive example of Lake
land in employing municipal man
ager has put a thinking cap On the
heads of philosophical people in
other cities in Florida and they are
reasoning very naturally that if a
manager is good for Lakeland the
same would also be good for other
communities Sentiment on the sub
ject has been stirred in DeLand and
although they haven't the commits
sion form of government there, it is
urged that the City Council employ
a manager to take charge of the bus
mess of the city. The DeLand Rec
ord says:
when Council is elected on May
7 next, it should at once organize,
and, then, within month. select a
capable man to take charge of city
affairs, at salary commensurate
with the duties and responsibilities
of the office. DeLand's last budget
provided for the expenditure of $780,
000-with no salaried man to guard
the expenditure of this considerable
amount of money. Council should
employ man, at a salary of 5 % a
month, who should devote his entire
time to the city, to look after the
details of the expenditure of this
money, to whom all complaints
should be made. A competent man
in this position could save the city
at least $4,000 a year. a."

CHE GAZETTE CANNOT DEFEND ITS POSITION

The Gazette, the states lead ing booze paper, " having no ar gument to sustain its action in publishing whiskey advertising, says it will refuse to discuss the matter further.
 When a newspaper cannot de- fend it's position on a subject, about the only thing left for it to do is to find some excuse to drop the matter, and that is the atti- tude the Gazette finds itself in.
 No one ever thought for a mo- ment that the Gazette would at tempt to defend it's action in pub fishing whiSkey advertising, for the very good reason that it can not he successfully defended, any more than the sale of whis- key can be successfully defend ed; and the world has never pro- duced a man who was shreWd enough to successfully defend the sale of whiskey. Excuses are made for its sale, and all of them are more or less fimsy, but there is no logic Or reason on which to base an argument in defense of the sale of whiskey. If this is true, it naturally fol- lows that a newspaper, as a me dium of publicity serving the best interests of the people, has no moral right to aid. abet and

encourage the sale of whiskey by giving it favorable publicity. Some newspapers do so, on the excuse that they need the reve- nue-the same excuse offered by most town, city and other gov ernments for granting license for the sale of whiskey.
 But the Gazette hasn't got this excuse now for it said that it does not need the money.
 This brings us face to face with the idea that the Gazette S policy is: 4T'hell with nor ality; get the coin. ; and it is The Journals opinion that this would be a very appropriate motto for the States leading boozepaper. y
 No doubt the Gazette thought it a very brilliant idea to ask if The Journal did not publish whiskey advertising as long as the law would permit us to do so. We readily ad- init that twelve years ago The Journal did publish Whiskey ad- vertising for nearly a year, be- cause we needed the money, or thought We did. But we quit it, because we knew it was wrong and our conscience would not permit Us to continue it, and we emphatieally deny that we pub lished such advertising as long as the law would permit Us to do SO; and we denounce as a Wilful, malicious, slanderous and cow ardly lie the Gazette's insinua- ton that we published whiskey advertising as long as the law would permit us to do so.
 Now. let the Gazette smoke that in it's pipe.
 But, even had we done 80, is the Gazette justified in doing wrong because this paper did wrong ten or twelve years ago?
 Great logic, isn't it?
 Suppose this paper, or it's edit or, had gone out, ten or fifteen years ago, and foully murdered a man. Would that be any excuse for the Gazette man to do the

There were 246 carloads of strawberries shipped from Jud- sonia during the past spring. If we could ship half this many Der ries from Newark every spring, a short crop of cotton and corn would not hurt so bad. And real ly the only reason we can't ship the berries is because we lack the hustle and grit necessary to get berry growing started here.

SOME STORY THIS WHO
 IS RESPONSIBLE FOR II

George Pirash and Stanley Will lamson have done the greatest trick in automobile history. They did it when they went to Roosevelt early Sunday morning, and 'it' was sure it"
 Returning on their journey and about twelve miles the other side of the Fish Creek station, they hit d nail and got a puncture. So Will liamson got out the inner tube while Pirash got out the stickum, which latter he spilled all over Williamson and the road. By the time William son had gotten free from the stuff, with the combined help of the whole party, the calamity which detained them from returning to Phoenix for full thirty-siX hours had taken place. The stickum in the road had taken hold, and glued the machine tight to the rocks of the hill
 There was nothing to do but wait They could not dig the machine loose as there was no way of getting the rocks out of the hill of rock. They could not cut the tires loose as they had but one set. And they could not apply fire to the stuff and melt them loose, as that would have meant the possible loss of the whole car
 They waited till the sun came out, climbed up over the old shoulder of Superstition, warmed the gooey sub stance, melted away the tires from the rocks, and permitted the party to return homeWard.
 The trip had been planned for six teen hours. It took the whole of two days, and oh, how much work and patience!.
 P. S.-There was no swearing as company would not permit that
