REPORT TAKES A WALLoP AT
RIVERVIEW PARK
There are more crimes commit
ted against our girls in RiverView
park in one night than there are on
the beaches in a month" Asst
States Atty Robert Hogan stated
when he learned that Capt. Woods OF
the Town Hall station had transfer
red the policewomen detailed at the
park to the bathing beaches. THE
reports of our investigators are being
turned over to the police. So far we
have found that RiveTview has in
sufficient police protection"
Hogan is now going over the sec
ond report of the juvenile court in
vestigators who were detailed to
probe the moral conditions in the
park by Judge Mary Bartelme and
Hogan. Judge BaTtelme said she be-
gan this investigation because Of the
large number of girls who came into
her court and testified they had been
Cpicked up in Riverview.
The second report says that girls
are employed by owners Of conces-
sions in a very peculiar capacity; that
of a "shiIler." A "shiIler," according
to one of the girls, goes around to
the different concessions and wins
the big prizes. A short time later,
says the report, she turns these back
to the owner of the concession
through the rear door.
Alma Peterson, a "shiller, could
give no explanation to the meaning
of the name of her job. She said that
the girls were paid rs cents an hour
to win the prizes and that they never
tried to keep the prizes they won"
because they had been told that the
cops would get them.

nublic is f1im-fammed by the con-

How 1t Is Done in Lake County,
and What 1t Brings

"Of all the impressions re-
ceived on a five thousand mile
trip this summer the most vivid,
possibly because it was the near
est home and meant more to a
real Floridian. was that OF the
Natal hay fields in Lake county"
declares Earl c. May, who re-
turned to Auburndale last week
after several months of travel in
the middle west and the eastern
states.
"All of us who came originally
from the prairie or other we'll cul-
tivated farming portions OF the
country can not blind ourselves
to the discouraging effect upon
the average new conner OF the
millions of acres OF cut over Flor
ida lands. To the agriculturist
from the north who travels
through hundreds OF miles OF un-
cultivated timber lands there in
evitably comes the belief that
Florida is filled with waste places
and that in spite OF all the won
derful things said about its soil
and climate it is, for the most
part, deserted area, with only
an occasional oasis of develop
ment in wilderness OF burned
pine stumps.
We who live here know that
South Florida, at least, is an
area OF intensive cultivation,
where the yield per acre is high
and the proportionate profits
large, but we also have to recog-
nize the fact that in this timbered
land the comparatively few ex-
amples OF development are rap
idly swallowed up, as far as the
traveller by rail is concerned, by a
vast expase OF standing pine or of
cut-over country.
That was the dominant feel

YOU ALL

If all the dialect writers in the
world are as wholly ignorant of their
subject as those in the North who
try to put into print he speech of
the South, there ought to be a law
against dialect. Few days pass that
some person who has never been in
the South fails to spring a bit Of
dialect that was never heard from
the lips of Southerner.
OF all the utterly absurd and false
pieces of dialect is the Northerner's
singular you ALL" Not even the
negroes use you all in the singular,
and it is never any more heard from
the lips of an educated Southern
white person than is Il SEEN" Why
the North persist in this fallacy is
difficult to understand.
southerners Do use you all in the
plural, some of them with the under
standing that it isn't common in the
North, nor in England and others
simply because it is familiar way
, of distinguishing between the
singular and plural of the pronoun
Certain professors of English in this
country have recognized the usage Of
! you all as the South uses it. 1T ma,
be provincial. but in the plural, i
can by no reach of the imagination
be called an error in grammar.
Southern writer's have reproduce'
negro dialect with a perfectness tina
is art itself, and neither Irwin Rus
sell, Thomas Nelson Page, Joel Chan
dler Harris, or any of the rest eve
made a character use you all in tn
singular.
! The South has II own way O
speaking, and a soft, pleasant way
is, even if it isn't so distinct as |
might be. While there are sufiicien
dialectic usages to give it distinctive
mess the conversation of theeducate
person in the South is as free iron
errors as that of persons in tn
North and even the man in the stree
is not 50 ungrammatical as some O
our Northern friends would have u
believe.-Pensacol News.

Mr.. Roosevelt, Senator Lodge and
his congressman son-in-law (name
forgotten) aided and abetted by a
few newspapers, are trying to make
a political party issue of the ques-
tion of our national defenses. They
can't think on public questions ex-
cept in terms of party, and to make
political capital for themselves and
their side is always the obvious mo-
tive with them. This from the Clear
water Sun is the right way to look at
this matter:

than any other that should not be
converted into football for partisan
