ITS ADVICE WAS PREMATURE

While we are long way from the
cave-man and his destructive meth
DDS with club or whatever other
crude weapon he could first lay
hands on to slay his enemies with,
we are also long way from those
Utopian days where the lion and
the lamb shall be on friendly terms
and men shall no longer quarrel and
tight and seek each others blood.
Current events in Europe and the
crime record in this country prove
this clearly enough and until it is
otherwise the Orlando Sentinel is
premature in its advice that "boys
should not possess firearms of any
sort, kind or condition"
Undoubtedly there should be wise
parental regulation in such cases
and the law against concealed weap-
ons should be enforced but with con-
ditions as they are in this world the
boy should know how to handle a
gun, for he is father to the man and
there is no telling when the latter
may be called on to defend his
home and family with something
more effective than his fists. And,
moreover, there ought to be firearms
ready for use inc every home and the
girls should be taught to shoot as
well as the boys.
Nor does this offer any excuse for
the sportive idiots who point emp
ty" guns at others and play with
deadly weapons. Rather should it
have the opposite effect, and every
member of the family taught to
consider the subject with law-abid-
ing seriousness and good sense and
made to understand that guns and
pistols are the aids to law and
order and for the defense of life, and
not the tools of the 1awless pistol
toter, the hoodlum and the thought
. less kid.
The fool boy who kills another by
swapping a gun in his face Is gen.
orally less morally responsible than
the fool father who has not warned
him against such folly and made his
warning too impressive to be for
gotten.

Civic Pride
(Board of Health Bulletin)

The front yard is pretty good
index of the kind of people that live
in the house. It's a fairly accurate
prophecy of the conditions You are
going to find in the yard behind the
house, and a clean back yard usually
means good sanitary conditions
through the entire establishment.
Good looks count. First impress
sions are hard to get away from.
Florida, in proportion to its pop
ulation, probably has more visitors
the year through, than any other
state in the Union. A good many
of these visitors every year are maxi
ing their first trip to this part of
the Southland, and how many of
them are not disappointed by their
first glimpses?
A very large share of the railroad
stations in Florida, in the big cities
and the little ones alike, are about
the most uninviting spots in town.
Broken boxes and barrels, pieces of
lumber, bits of orange peel or SUI
gar cane and a thousand other va
rieties of more or less disgusting re-
fuse, are scattered about, and the
place looks like a-well, it is not
what it should be. These railroad
stations are the front yards to our
cities and they should be made at
tractive. They reflect credit or
blame on the people who live there.
OF coursefi the railroad companies
are responsible for these conditions,
but it's long way from some little
station to the general managers Of
flee somewhere far away, and he
isn't very much concerned how the
station and yard at Podunk are
kept. The station agent is sup
posed to keep things neat and clean.
This agents ideas of what is clean
and neat may not be very highly
developed and they may need slim
ulating by the people of the town
who have some glimmering remain
der of local pride and some concep-
ton Of the value of first impress
sions, to say nothing of low health
and death rates.
Some cities in Florida, a few of
them, have energetic women, who
have extended their efforts for neat
ness beyond their own homes into
public places. It's pity more Flor
ida towns haven't organizations of
energetic women with these inclina-
tons. Some of these cities have an
annual spasm, which they call
Cleanup Day." They line up the
school children and show them what
to do, and the town is hardly rec
ocognizable for three or four days
or a week. But it has quick re-
lapse and does not recover until an
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1914-12-03

other spasm strikes some one year
later and the attacks spreads.
Why not clean up and stay clean?
Nearly every town in Florida would
get used to 1.-THE town philoso-
pliers who ornament the grocery
front would come to appreciate it
and brag about it-and the result
would be a boost, an advertisement.
1t would be so unusual in Florida
THAT the reputation would spread
far and fast.
But civic pride should not be
confined to appearances. Without
neglecting them, it should extend to
the healthfulness of the town.
Good sanitation is about the first
step toward securing general health
Ifulness, and in many places the To-
cal health authorities are inactive.
The lack of an abundant supply of
good water is the fault of man in
almost every part Of Florida. Ma
ture has done here part. Man has
neglected his, and either mere neg
lligence or criminal carelessness and
! Indifference have destroyed the
chances for even normally good con-
:, ditions.
The same is true about the milk
supply of any community. People
don't have to use poor milk or water
if they don't want to. They can
have the pure article if they will
demand it and make effort to get
it. There should be civic pride in
sanitation as well as in good looks
and first outside impressions, but
such pride is not general in Florida
cities. Civic pride is an unknown
quantity in majority of the places
where railroad trains make regular
stops in this state, and it is time
for these towns to wake up and get
busy. Let them make a real start
and see what it will lead to.
