Lakeland Gets Next Convention.

Monday morning at 9 o'clock the
State Osteopathic Convention met in
the parlors of the Putnam House and
opened their program. Although NJ
largely attended on account of the
prevalence of lagrippe, which kept
many of the doctors away, the meet
ings were of great interest and Of
value to the profession. Lakeland
was selected for next years meeting
place. The following officers were
chosen for the coming year. For
president, DR.. Dewitt Lightsey, of
Barlow; DR.. Sarah E. Wheeler Of
Lakeland, for vice-president, and DR..

Mayor Bowden's latest convention
idea to help out the Jacksonville ho-
tells is meeting of mayors of south
ern states cities to discuss the tramp
problem, one of the simplest ques-
tions a mayor has to deal with. The
able-bodied tramp with no visible
means of support, and who begs his
sustenance from door to door, can be
cured of lettering in any given COM
munity if that community will estab-
lish a reputation for putting them to
work on the public highway sixty

professional tramp doesn't like labor,
and he will pass the word that viii
result in getting his international
union to shun any community or city
that requires it in exchange for vic
tuals.

Florida Lands N. G., But

DeSoto County News: Florida
lands may not be of any value, but we
can hardly go on the street except we
meet some "Cracker" who has just
sold his crop of fruit for from $500 to
1000 on the trees. This amount of
stuff sold from a farm on one of our
northern states after years hard
labor, would be regarded as very good,
indeed. These sums have been real
lied from many Florida groves with
much less labor and expense than
from the northern farms. We are
speaking advisedly, after personally
observing both for several years. In
other words, the net profit from Flor
ida groves year in and year out, will
far exceed the net profits from the
best northern farms. This is chal-
lenge.

Long Winded-

Fort Lauderdale Sentinel: Sidney
J. Cats spoke for two hours and thir-

and held the close attention of every
one in the court house, where he
spoke. We regret to say, he had but
few to hear him. They did not know
what an orator he is, or more would
have been present to hear him. He
stands alone against the almost solid
press of the State. The papers are

Damage Suit LAWYERS

Pensacola News: Damage suit
lawyers, tribe that has fourished in
the South for years, have cost the
South more in dollars and Genus than
any other one class of men. They
have preyed upon the preiudices of
the people, just as the demagogues of
the South have ridden into high Of
fees on these prejudices. 1t is high
time this sentiment was changing.
Principles of right and Justice toward
labor dc not mean that corporations
rlust be robbed of thousands of del
lars in trivial damage cases because
some lawyer knows his jury suffi-
GENTLY well to get verdict. The
South needs outside capital and must
show itself friendly to it before it can
get it.

In St. Augustine next Sunday, with
impressive cermemonies, a life-sized
bronze statue of the late Henry Nor
rison Flagler will be unveiled. The
statue is to stand in Railway Park at
the local station of the Florida East
Coast Railway. 1t is fitting that this
mans memory should be thus honor
ed, and there is no more appropriate
place for the statue than st. Angus
tine, one of, if not the first, cities in
the State to feel the thrill of his mag
ic hand. Flagler was the great de-
veloper of the east coast, and to him
more than to any other man belongs
the credit of the modern Florida.

Walls chances for that office "are

startling facts presented for consider

based upon the resources of the state,
there should be at the present time
not less than 100000 head of live

mated that there are not less than

Putnam county has lost many of
its ablest men by death during the
past year, one of the most valuable of
whom, considering his youth and the
natural expectancy for future achieve
ments, was Frank H. Vause, for a
number of years manager of the Ed
gar Kaolin Co. at Edgar, few miles
west of this city. Mr.. Vause was a
man who worked his way to the front
in the business world unaided. He
was an exemplary man in all the
walks of life, and his physical break

Wilson and Roosevelt

|
Orlando Reporter-Star Hugo Mu-
ensterberg's opinion has come to be
regarded as worth something. One
mans opinion may not be much more
weigthy than anothers-for an opin-
ion is an opinion, and that is the end
of it. Yet because of his many years
of studious work and writings in this
country Mr.. Muensterberg's ideas are
nearly always Interestingly set down
upon paper and what he says attracts
attention. Thus his prediction that
Roosevelt and Wilson will be opposing
candidates for the presidency will re-
ceive considerable comment. Muen-
sterberg's letters might well be con-
strued as campaign document for
Roosevelt, for he makes it apparent
that the German-Americans will be
called upon to decide the next cleo
ton, and that in spite of the Colonel's
abuse of the German-Americans all
of his deeper sympathies are with
them. He points to Wilson as pro-
British because of his British for
bears, and while he makes no refer
ence to Roosevelt's Dutch parentage
it is apparent that he drives in that
direction without making it too en-
phatic. Roosevelt and Wilson are
the two camps" says Muensterberg,
AL others are parlor talk" 1t will
not be long before the question is de-
cided, and we shall have early oppor-
tunity to decide if the herr professor
is as good at representation as he is
