The st. Petersburg Times makes
the just but somewhat surprising
admission that Lakeland is fully
the equal of St. Pete in many re
spects and in some the latter city
might profitably emulate our own.
Such a compliment from a source so
capable and critical has unusual
value. In the same article the
Times has the following to say,
which is cheerful reading:
Little Journeys around the State
or some portion Of it occasionally
such as the one made by the local
good roads boosters last week are
good things, and should be INDUCED
in by more people 1t is good thing
to know what others are doing, and
how they do it. The trip covered
ten of the South Florida counties Of
the State, including as many of
Florida's finest and fastest growing
cities. In a county sense the all i'm =.
portant condition found was that
each and every one of the nine other
counties was far ahead-away ahead
of Pinellas in good roads; in good
roads already built, and in good
roads now building. The amount of
road building now going on all over
the progressive part of tFlorida-ex-
cept Pinellas-is immense. And of
course the effect of these good roads
is seen in the development of the
country generally"

A mob of bowling hoodlums sur
rounding the residence of the gov
ernor of Georgia, presumably with
intent to personally degrade and
maltreat him because he committed
the death penalty in the Frank case
to life imprisonment was one of the
most disgraceful scenes ever wit
messed in civilized county. The
governor had to declare martial law
and surround his home with troops
to save himself from violence, but as
such mobs are usually composed Of
vicious ours and towards, with rarely
a respectable citizen or brave man
among them, we suspect that if the
governor had charged the crowd
with loaded shotgun he would
have driven them off without the
need of soldier. In Governor Sla-
tons place old Andrew Jackson
would have done that very thing and
routed the whole bunch even if he
had been compelled to kill half
dozen hoodlums in the process. We
don't know whether Frank is guilty
or innocent, but the governor Of
Georgia was clearly within both his
legal and moral rights in commut-
ing the sentence; and beyond doubt
it is much more important for the
cause of civilization and decency
and Justice in Georgia that such
british mobs as disgraced that State
yesterday at the governors home
should be made impossible hereafter
than that Frank should be hanged
rather than imprisoned for life.

Few, If any, of the Confederate
veterans of Florida will be found
among the critics of the late Leeis-
lature. All of the old boys got a
raise in pensions and each one now
gets $3.50 per annum, which is a
mighty nice little pickup and in
many cases the chief support of the
poorer men among the pensioners.
Widows of veterans now get $3.50
per year each.

The limit of absurdity in specula
tions concerning Mr.. Bryan's polit-
ical future has been reached in the
story that he intends to establish a
legal residence in Florida and in due
season be a candidate for the United
States Senate from this State. Mr..
Bryan is an idealist of rare gifts,
but he could not visualize himself as
a senator from Florida even if he
wanted the job, and of course he
doesn't. His is no longer a name TO
conjure with in this neck Of the
woods and the stigma of the CARPET
Dagger would instantly attach to him
If he got to MESSING with Florida
politics as an Office seeker. He ha.

Steps to be Taken in Canning in
Glass

| UldSS
The steps / 2, and 3, under Can
ming in Tin are also to be followed
when packing in glass. Sterilize
jars by placing them in vessel, side
down, covering with cold water,
bringing to boil and boiling for Is
minutes.
4. Packing .-After selecting fruit
or vegetables for uniformity in size
and quality (see score) il should be
arranged with reference to SYM
metry and the best use of the space
within the jar. In placing the fruit
or vegetable in jar, a thin, slender,
flexible paddle made out of cane is
useful. This paddle is also used to
take out the bubbles of air by run
ming it down the side of the jar to
touch these bubbles after the liquor
has been added to the pack.
>. Adjusting the cap.-Before
placing tn cap be sure that the rub,
Der is flattened in its groove, with

the upper one fastened to hold the
lid in place. With an hermetic lar.
fasten the cap on the jar evenly
with the clamp The last Jar is self
sealing as it cools.
6. Processing Place the lars in
water bath on a rack (wooden one
good) to avoid breaking. Have
water the same temperature as the
contents, letting it come to within
inches of the tops of jars. Have a
tight cover for the vessel to keep in
the steam. Do not count time until
the water begins to boil; keen it
boiling steadily for the time requir-
ed. Seal the jars air-tight promptly
at end of processing and remove
them from the bath, being careful,
not to allow cold draft to strike
them. In intermittent processing,
raise the clamp of each jar at the be- !
of each processing to allow
for expansion. Seal at close of each !
