The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1914-12-18

Mr.. c. H. Spencer writes an in
teresting and suggestive letter to
the Tampa Times in which he
strongly urges that the people be
permitted to vote on the question Of
the division Of Florida into two
States. The subject has been often
discussed, but the public doesn't
seem to rise to it with any enthusi-
asm. But time and persistence may
force the issue. Mr.. Spencer says,
among other things, the following,
which has an appetizing flavor:
1.-THE dividing line from Leon to
St. Johns counties is appropriate
and such division would put Talla-
hassee about the center of the old
State, and this city or Lakeland
should be the capital of the new
State of South Florida. and we would
have a capital almost within our
midst, State officers familiar with
our needs, and, by the way, two
Democratic United States senators
to increase our strength in Con-
gress.

VISUAL EDUCATION
(BOard of Health Bulletin

The eye, more than the ear, serves
to educate us. The things We see
rather than those we hear, make
lasting and distinct impressions on
the mind.
+; It was this fact that gave the
Southern Health Exhibition, recent
ly held at jacksonville, exceptional
value as an educator in sanitary
matters. A dozen States and twice
as many southern cities and a num-
Der of organizations national in
their work, placed before the public
graphic illustrations of their meth
DDS of dealing with sanitary prob
lens. Photographs, charts, statis-
tics, models of dwellings, barns and
outhouses attracted the attention of
visitors and showed proper condi-
tions and construction as compared
with wrong and unhealthful sur
roundings. The subjects included
the whole list, from the proper way
to raise babies to the value of vac
cination, the latest developments in
the study of pellagra and the fight
against insect carriers of disease
germs.
In the ten days and evenings that
the exhibition was open, more than
fifteen thousand visitors from twen-
ty or more States. came and studied
the problems that were SO graphic
ally illustrated, and during the final
1.-TWO days when the exhibits were
opened particularly for the colored
population, the attendance was
larger than during any other SIM
liar period of the exhibition.
There can be little doubt that the
influence of this visual demonstra-
ton of modern sanitation methods
and results was far more valuable
as an educating influence TO the un-
professional laymen of Florida, than
days and weeks Of academic discus
sion of the same subjects could
have been, and that it merited the
unstinted praise bestowed by emf
'nent physicians and sanitary work
ers from all parts of the country,
who were in attendance upon the
convention of the American Public
Health Association.
Floridas State Board of Health
had one of the finest and most COM
plete displays Of the entire exhibit
tion. The work of the board in its
campaigns against various diseases,
the advance of sanitation, the re-
suits gained nder the provisions of
the State appropriation for the
treatment of indecent crippled chill
dren, and several other importan,
subjects were understandingly Illus
trated. The value of vaccination and
the alternative results of neglecting
this safeguard against smallpox
were shown in striking photographs.
Pictures and charts and models
demonstrated usually the relations
of unscreened earth closets to the
spread of typhoid fever, and many
bther important subjects were
outlined. 1t was an ex-
hibit valuable particularly for the

The Christmas edition of the
Tampa Times is an S0-page dread
naught, magnificent success quite
characteristic of that great Florida
newspaper. In it's hugeness and
richness, it's copious display of big
advertising and its vast variety of
excellent reading matter this issue
of the Times would make the croak-
er and calamity bowler fairly sick
with chagrin, for it spells prosper
ity for both the paper and its pa
irons and that's just what the
croaker doesn't want to discover.

In the matter of the small boy

o-
In the matter Of the small boy
and the gun, against which combin-
alton the St. Petersburg Times bit
terly inveighs, that paper should
make a distinction between the use
and the abuse of a particular object.
The Ocala Star lucidly gets at the
merits of the issue in an article of
some length, from which we take the
following:
Friend Straub has not seen, eth
er in the Star or the Telegram, any
thing advocating turning over to a
hot-headed boy pistol for him to
do as he p leased with. The excel
lent mother referred to acted as a
woman might be expected to act.
A firm and cool-headed father with
little good advice could have acted
more effectually and not aggrieved a
boy by taking away from him some
thing he priced and would have
made no bad use Of / he had been
properly instructed. If our friend
Straub will search history, he will
find that from the time of Cain until
today, angry boys and men have al
ways found weapons to their hand
when they were mad enough to kill.
A pocketknife is a very useful thing;
every boy wants one and it is almos,
impossible for a man to get along
without one, but we have personal
knowledge of several murders and a
great many minor cutting scrapes in
which pocketknives were the weAp.
ons. AS far as we are concerned,
we would rather take our chances
against gun or pistol any day than
against knife. Does Friend Straub
argue that boys and men shouldn't
be allowed to have pocketknives?"

For the first time since the battle
of Hastings in the Twelfth century,
if our recollection is correct, hos
tile blow has been delivered on
English soil by foreign foe. And
vet how worse than futile nd wan
tonly cruel was that raid of the Ger
man cruisers in which nearly seven
ty helpless non-combatant English
men, women and children were slain
without warning and their homes
destroyed! 1t will merely intensity
the hatred between the two nations,
leave bitter memories for centuries
and have not the slightest effect in
bringing the war to a close or de-
Gliding the character of the result.

SHIPPERS DESIRE
CLASS RATES FOR
MOUNTAIN REGION
Arlzonans Fear Decision of
Supreme Court viii
Be Nullified.

Phoenix. Ariz, July 1S-Grave dan
ger exists, according to corporation
commissioner Z. A Jones, that the
recent decision Of the supreme court,
upholQlng the interstate commerce
commission in the intermountatn rate
eases. viii be nulifed. 1t is time,
Jones declares. for the Rocky Noun
tam states to get together and combat
plan which the railroads have al
ready formulated.
This plan is to apply to the inter-
state commerce commission for per-
mission 70 apply class rates instead
OF commodity rates TO a long list OF
ar ucles shipped to the Rocky noun
tam region Commissioner Jones fears
that the proper representations, in op-
position to the applica tiOns Of the rail-
roads. VIII not be made at Washington,
and that the plan will succeed
To Meet in Chicago.
The details are TO be arranged, ac-.
Jones, at a meeting Of traffic men in
chicago next week Ostensibly the
meeting is to be held for the purpose
OF arranging a schedule Of rates to
comply with the intermountain rate
order The campaign of the railroads
az Washington is to be commenced at
Washington early in october.
Years ago the I c. c. ruled that the
railroads had no right to charge higher
rates from the east TO Rocky mountain
EN-AAAa A-AeAA 70 the EaEAAAE EUd5l- 1Ne-1%
cities had been enjoying preferential
rates on the theory that water cOmpe-
tltion justified lower tariffs to those
points.
Reversed Commerce Court.
The commerce court, since abolished
reversed the interstate commerce com
mission, but the supreme court re-
versed the commerce court.
Article 4 Of the intermountain rate
order states that rates TO intermediate
points cannot be higher than to the
coast, except in certain specific in
stances prescribed by the interstate
commerce commission. Railroad at.
torneys contended before the supreme
court that the I c. c. had the power
TO make blanket exemptions for the
entire Rocky mountain region, but this
contention was not upheld.
In october the railroads will present
10 the ] c. c. a long list Of receiving
points and Of commodities. They viii
assert that they should be permitted TO
tty rates on the commodities named
because OF small movements to the
Rocky mountain region, or Of excessive
water competition.
At the present time nearly every.
thing is shipped from the east and
middle west to Arizona ar class rates.
This state enjoys few commodity rates
On the other hand, nearly everything
goes 10 California at commodity rates
and as a result that state enjoys
freight rates that average lower than
those paid in Arizona
