The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1915-01-04

We rejoice in the splendid Opt
mism of the Miami Metropolis,
which came out on New Years day
with this cheerful prediction: "The
brightest, happiest year in the ma
tons history is the promise
written in signs everywhere this
New Years Day" We should hard :
ly put it so strong as that in view
of several things obvious to the max
cd eye and the daily news from Eu
rope, but we have much confidence
in the prophetic intuitions of a
bright woman as opposed to the
plodding l0cic Of mere man, hence
we get real comfort from the fore
cast Of the Metropolis
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1915-01-04

1t is merely tho widest of guess :
ing to say that the Emitted States
could put an end to the war in En- .
rope in few months if She should
by means of an cmbar2o shut off all
her exports TO the warning nation
such as foodstuifs, munitions of war,
horses, mules and manufactured
goods, and thus starvc out and 9th
erwise make il impossible for the
combatants to continue the fight. n
fine scheme indeed 1t is not cnough
that the greater part Of our foreign
commerce has already been paralyzed
by the war. resulting ir vast and
widespread loss to this country. but
we are now asked to make The sac
rifice complete by giving up our
markets abroad entirely and living
in an industrial and commercial iso!
lation as complete as that of Crusoe
on his island. The proposition is
absurd. 1t is not our war; we didn t
bring it on and it is not our business
to end it. The combatants alone
can do that and our services can al
ways be had in an intermcdiating
capacity. The proposition that We
should starve the warning nations
into submission by starving our own
commerce to death has the merit of
originality but not of good sense or
an intelligent regard for our own in
terests

In considering the question of a
scholastic or intercollegiate athletic
meet at the Gasparilla celebration in
TamTa, the Tribune of that city
mentions nearly every important
town and city in Middle and South
Florida as having schools (which
would most certainly send teams"
and, strangely enough, omits Lake /.
land from the list. Has our city
vanished from the Tribune horizon?
Or does the Tribune not know that
the Lakeland high school is famous
for its athletic spirit and its ath :
letic team, which last season carried
away nearly all the honors in COM
petition with surrounding towns?
Lakeland is still on the map, with
1900 pupils in its high school, and,
barring Jacksonville and st. Peters,
burg, it leads in population any Of
the towns and cities mentioned by
the Tribune as likely to send teams
to the proposed meet at Tampa. The
omission was doubtless mad vertput.
but how any Tribune writer can f2il
to see Lakeland looming vastly on
the horizon when enumerating the
cities of South Florida is what we
don't understand. Come up and
take a look at our splendid schools
and army of athletic YOUNGSTERS
ep7er to compete with any and all
corners in manly sports.

Pauline Glare was home for holi-
day, and it was raining. 1t was bad
enough to have rain at boarding
school, when one was at lessons, but
to have it when there was no much
fun to be had was something too try
ing on the nerves.
So Polly sat In the big chair before
the library CRATE fire and sulked. Bev-
erly was off at Boy Scout meeting.
Mamma was taking a nap, Mary was
busy with minee pies in the kitchen,
and the house was as still as a mouse.
Not sound but the tick, tock of the
big clock in the corner of the hall and
the drip. drip, drip of the water run
ming down the pane.
She threw her coat on the back OF
her chair, but the red tam o. shanter
cap she still kept on her brown curls.
AS she leaned back she felt the
wooden tassel flop in her face.
IF this were only wishing cap"
she laughed, Il would pretty soon
fix things all right would never
have any rain or snow, and the
weather would always be pleasant
and sunny, with no wind at all.
TT is a wishing cap" she seemed
to hear voice say out of the shadows
of the big room.
"My, what was that2' she ex-
claimed. Sounded like someone
spoke. 1t can't be a wishing cap,
when it is the red woolen one dad
gave me last year.
"Just try it once came again a
voice out of the gloom.
IAN right laughed Pauline.
Here goes--I wish 1t would stop
raining and turn warm. and the
flowers would come out and the trees
be full of leaves and it would be
summer again"
Before she had ceased to speak
wonderful change took place. The
rain ceased, the sun came out hot,
the flowers sprang up in the yard as
il by magic, and the trees We're green
In the sunny air. But the people go
