Some Extra Pressure.

Devere put on extra pressure this
afternoon in his glove work against
his sparring partners. Jack Lester. a
tough heavy weight who has been in
some hard scraps against the best
men in the game, SPARED with De
we're this afternoon. Lester was
fought and boxed dizzy by the big
y]oungster. After they had finished
their glove work. Lester told Dcvcre
that if the local nan had been in
anything like his present form when
they met at Tulsa, Okla. several
months ago, that Devere would have
stopped him in quick order. Devcre
shot some wicked wallops against
Testers body that doubled up the big
Seattle heavyweight. Lester tried
everything he knew to try and stop
Deverc, but Deverc simply bored in
and fought Lester off his feet. It
was 10y far the best bout of the after
noon, and the big matinee crowd en-
joyed the mill to their fullest.

MANAGEMENT OF
POLK COUNTY CONvICTS

Inc Evening Telegram taxes
pleasure in giving space in today's
issue to a statement from Commits
sioner j. c. Swindell, with refer
ence to the criticisms made by the
recent grand jury of the manner in
which the county convicts are being
handled. At the time the grand
jury's presentment was published we
felt that these criticisms were, per-
haps, founded on insufficient infor-
nation. and we are strengthened in
this belief by Commissioner Swim
dell's statement.
The handling of convicts. from a
humanitarian standpoint. has al
ways enlisted the interest of this pa
per, and it's editor has visited the
camps of this county for the purpose
of satisfying himself as to the treat
ment of the inmates. The food,
while coarse. was wholesome and
abundant; but there was no evil
dence of wastefulness or of the ex-
travagance limited at in the grand
jury's report. The discipline We
judged to be mild but effective; in
deed, we would have found difficulty
in suggesting any improvement in
the management. Our opinion. of
conditions at the Polk county con-
Wet camps is corroborated by that
of the State convict inspector, with
whom we have frequently discussed
the matter.
There is no convict camp where
the nature of the work, such as road
building, necessitates the laborers
being scattered, from which there
are not some escapes; but our in
formation is that in this respect, al
in all others, the Polk couxty con.
vict camps will compare favorabl,
with those of any in the State.
! One Of the principal grounds o.
complaint. apparently, is that thu
convicts are too fell treated. 1t il
unfortunate that there are yet peo
pie who cansnot divest themselves o
the idea that vengeance. should b
the principal element in the treat
ment Of those who transgress tn
law! Modern penology has aban
doned this idea, just as modern hu
mainly has tabooed the rack an
thumbscrew. the wheel and tn
stake. 1t is entirely proper tina
those who have violated the law
should labor for the benefit Of sc
ciety; but their treatment should b
merciful and humane. That Is tn
kind of treatment the Polk count
convicts are receiving. We do nc
believe the people of the county d.
sire that they should be treated 9th
erwise.
Al for the work performed by th
convicts. the results speak for then
selves. These results in the shape {
road construction. are more notabl
in evidence in the recent past tina
during any former period.
We are constrained to believe ths
the report of the grand jury wa
based on Information presented
It by those who were actuated by IN
terested motives. -

MOVEMENT LAKELAND SHOULD

Lakeland the past several seasons
has felt the need of a Tourist Head
quarters, room or building where
the visitors could meet and mingle--
"a place to go" in other words. We
have frequently had Orlando held
up as a model to pattern after. and
the following interesting report Of
Frank J. Margin, who had charge of
Tourist Headquarters in that city.
which recently appeared in the Or

Tourist Headquarters can do for a
town:
The Tourist Headquarters was
practically opened on the first day
of December. 1914. However. the
room had been open from November
20. and ia persons registered in
November, but not all tourists. In
December there were between SIS
and 700 bona fide tourists register

to date is 3419. Nearly every state

points in Florida, before coming to
