Dinner LAST NIGHT

| Vu1v1vAv 11VU IvuVuu
Mr.. President and Citizens of Lake.
land:
l heartily appreciate this oppor-
tunity and privilege accorded me in
being permitted to bring you a mes
sage from the largest and strongest
Board Of Trade in Florida today
Tampa with nearly eight hundred
members signed up for three years
at twenty-five dollars per annum.
am neither a politician nor an
orator, as you will all soon agree,
but come to you as a plain young
business man who is trying to be
good citizen and | want to talk to
you along pertinent lines.
We are face to face with a BUSH
ness proposition. believe in sys-
tenn and efficiency in a Board Of
Trade just as in any other line of
business. Until six months ago
had paid dues and been a member of
the Tampa Board Of Trade for more
than ten years in name only. Since
that time, however, | have become
active and have gained a better
working knowledge, keener in
sight, and an inspiration and l can
now see where | was living in a
state of ignorance as to the duty of
every patriotic citizen to respond to
the debt every man owes his COM
munity. -
Have you ever stopped to consider
how much is implied in that one
word Cooperation? Have you
ever realized how dependant not
only men but cities are on one an
other? Have you ever considered
what very small note we would
make without the cooperation and
assistance of our fellow citizen?
For the sake of argument divide
the chain of life into three links
the past. the present, the future To
our forefathers who represent the
accomplishment of the past, we owe
our very being. We cannot repay
them. We owe 1t to posterity to
build for the future. This leaves
the link representing the present
today-as our part in our history
to perform. Then arises the ques-
tion How can We best serve
others?" We all admit debt which
|scAnot be paid in dollars and cents
and l consider 1t more obligatory
on our part than the notes our good
banker friends hold against us.
What are we going to do about it?
Surely we do not want to go out of
this world owing any man. will
tell you--respond to the Board of
Trade-get into the front ranks
with solid front and stay there,
push, smile, do not stand still.
Every man within the hearing of my
voice ana VINO Is a citizen OF Lake.
land owes his present prosperity to
Lakeland's growth. Picture in your
minds eye Lakeland of ten years
ago with Lakeland Of today. In the
same mental photograph look at her
citizens Of ten years ago with her
citizens Of today. They have pros
, pered Just as Lakeland has prosper
ed.

several cars of vegetables from Bar

J. R. Davis, showed the people of
that section how to farm in Flor

line himself, his example has
brought success to the farmers Of an
entire section. Thus is shown the
value of one Industrious and intel
ligent citizen.

Bull Moose Still Shy
on Whitman Candidacy

Governor Whitman's appointment OF
Oscar 6. Straus does not assure MN
tho Progressive label for his candidacy
for the Presidential nomination., ac-
cording TO ex-senator Henry Salant,
who enioys the distinction of having
been the only Bull Mooser ever elected
N the Senate of the Empire State.
Mr.. Salant talked freely yesterday OF
the Governors latest appointment, put
he also talked freely Of the fact that
Colonel Roosevelt is still the hrst
choice of the Progressives, not alone
for the Bull Moose nomination, out LOT
the Republican nomination as well. 10
the former Senator the Colonel is the
only logical harmonizer in slght Just
now. With Mr.. Roosevelt out OF the
wav. Governor Whitman might have a
chance of becoming the white-haired
how of the Progressives, so FAR as the
Presidential nomination IS concerned
Aside from this rather important iact'
the Whitman Presidential boom mas
received favorable consideration from
the Bull Moosers.
"What do you believe melted the
Governor to make the appointment
the former Senator was asked.
"Partly his desire to reconcile the
friendly Progressives and the inde-
nendent vote" Mr.. Salant answered,
Eand partly to place himself sensation
ally in the running for the Preslden-
tisl nomination"
Mr.. Salsnt said that Mr.. Straus was
comforting a greater favor by accept
;ng the appointment than was Gov
ernor whitman in appointing him.

.CITY'S TEACHERS
ENVY CITY'S FISH
100000 Voted for Aquarium,
They Say, While They Go
Without Salaries.

New York has displayed more gem
crosby in caring for its aquariums
than in looking out for its retired
teachers, was the contention made last
night at a meeting of the Interborough
Association of Women Teachers in the
Metropolitan Life building.
The liveliest part of the discussion
centred around the fact that the teach
ers who last May received years leave
of absence on half pay had in many
cases received only a portion or none
of the money due them.
al think the action of Controller
Prendergast is a disgrace TO the city,
declared Miss Grace c. Strachan, presl-
dent of the association. "He is not the
only person to blame, but he is TO
blame for constantly trying TO convey
to the taxpayers a false impression OF
teachers and their salaries. And the
end is not vet. Teachers in this city
are too fine and too faithful to be ma
ligned as they have been in this matter
of pensions without something happen
ing to the / aligner.'
Reports were made by various mem
bers of teachers who, they said, were
borrowing and starving, and even
diving" while waiting for their salaries.
An instance was given of a teacher who
was granted a years leave OF absence
because Of illness, but who has been
forced to return to the schoolroom, al
though she was unable to stand.
81 am teaching classes in cloakrooms,
and even on the steps, while S2OO,OOo
was voted last year for the upkeep OF
the Auuarium!" exclaimed one teacher.

CHANCE FIRE CALL
SAVES S5OO,OOO
Pier Superintendent Sounds Drill
Alarm, Then Notices Blaze
in Cotton Bales.

While making a trip of inspection
through Pier 40 of the Southern Pacific
Steamship Company on the North
River, at the foot of Bank Street, yes
terday afternoon, G. A. Swain. superin-
tendent, sounded a fire alarm TO give
the stevedores a bucket brigade drill.
A moment later he noticed smoke ris-
ing from a pile of 500 bales of cotton
at the southern extremity of the pier.
Through a lucky coincidence and the
superintendent prompt action the
pier with shipping consignments worth
100000, was savel from destruction.
The fire, which wa. OF lnknowA origin,
caused $4,000 damage 10 the cotton
which was consigned 70 Moscow from
George II. McFadden Brothers, of
South William Street.
Although Superintendent Swain said
that his investigation found nothing to
support a rumor that an incendiary
was suspected, he admitted the South.
crn Pacific has been taking every pre-
caution to guard goods destined for Eu-
ropean ports in belligerent countries.
Stevedores on the steamship Momus
we're the first to start fighting the
blaze.
In response to special alarm foul

boat Thomas Willett came to the as
sistance of the steamship employees.

Of the pier and taken across to Pier 4o

NEW SCOUT CORPS
TO GUARD SCHOOLS
Boys and Girls to Protect Mates
from Injury by Street
Traffic.

To keep students Of the public
schools from allowing themselves TO be
run down or over on their way TO and
from the school buildings, the Safety
First Society Of the City of New York
has created a new variety Of scout.
These, twelve of whom will be select
ed by the principal of each school, will
be known as the Safety First Scouts
Their duty will be TO stand in the
morning at the entrances, in the after
noon at the exits of their schools and
see that the bodies of their little mates
do not make traffic bumpy for passing
streetcars, automobiles and wagons.
Thomas W. Churchill, president of
the Board of Education. has approved
the action of the society, and Borough
President Marks had promised his CO.
operation. If the plans of the Safety
First folk materialize, before next year
$500 boys and girls will be enlisted in
the cause of making their companions
take care of themselves.
Ten minutes before school begins and
ten minutes before it is dismissed the
Safety First Scouts will be at their APP
pointed posts, one eye on. the traffic and
the other on their mates.
In off hours the scouts will wear
large and imposing badges bearing the
motto "Be Careful" and will follow
this admonition oft by mountin, guard
over uncovered manholes, removing OBJ.
structions from the sidewalks, putting
out bonfres and seeing that all fire es-
capes are kept clear.
After the legion has been formed
other and more complex duties will be
assigned to it if the boys and girls per,
form those already allotted in the
proper fashion.
