This is a pretty good old world
after all, and while human nature is
very obstinate and selfish and
cranky and errant, and sin and sor"
row are always with us, there is q
big and inexhaustible streak of good
in it, and If only the appeal is right
ly made the generous and charitable
response will meet it every time.
Here in Lakeland the Telegram need
only call attention to cases Of desti-
tuition and suffering to promptly
bring aid in every instance, and
while Lakeland is of course the best
town in the world with the best peo-
pile living in it, happily we have no
monopoly of the goodness, for it is
a characteristic of all people, espec-
tally American people. In this con-
pection we take the following from
the Pensacola Journal because it is
SO precisely like the way we do
those things in Lakeland:
Nothing could better illustrate
the generosity of the Pensaco pub
lie than the promptitude with which
response was made to the appeal for
help for women, and children, whom
Sheriff Cary Ellis found in desti-
tute condition in the country near
Pensacola on Tuesday. The appeal
appeared in the Journal Wednesday
morning and how generous was the
response will be shown elsewhere in
the Journal. Again and again does
Pensacola demonstrate this splendid
helpful spirit, aoa particularly dur
ing the past year has this been So
Nothing better illustrates the mora
status of city than the manner n
which it locks after its poor. Pen

WHY HE ALWAYS WINS

When it comes down to the real
work of political campaign-which
is getting votes-Park Trammell Is
at the head of the list And this is
rot because of the arts of a prac-
ticed demagogue or unusual skill in
special pleading on the hastings, bur
because citizens of Florida, know
ing him well, are profoundly con-
WINGED of his incorruptible honesty
as public servant, his genuine de-
votion to the interests of the people,
without affectation, or playing up
dear pee-pul" cant, his robust abil-
ity always adequate to his high put-
lie duties, his keen and sympathetic
interest in whatever concerns the
welfare of the men, women and
children of his State, his love of
justice and right dealing and a GER
tain moral cleanliness and dependa-
bility about the man in which there
is no element of the cold and calcu.
lating Pharisee, that wins the full
faith and confidence of those who
know him.
This is the language Of eulogy,
but not of exaggeratjon, for Park
Trammell is just that kind of a man.
and for just those reasons his sue.
cess in public life has been almost
without precedent in the history of
The same reasons will put
him in the United States Senate.
In the last issue of the Orlando
Citizen, whose editor is an unusual
ly shrewd observer and who never
lets his feelings run away with his
head, we find the following which
shows which way the tendencies are
to stream in the senator
ial campaign:
''The Citizen has canvassed quite
a few men in different parts of the
county as to how they feel about
the u. S. senatorial candidates and
those who know say that while they
did not see the Tampa Times TRADE
against Governor Trammell, they do
see the Orange County Citizens ref
erence to it and they are more firmly
fixed for Trammell than they have
ever been. Trammell will easily
carry Orange county, for in the opin-
ion of local political thermometer

and Trammell and Bryan's position

an enviable record before engaging
in the organization of the Girls To-
mato Canning Clubs in various
counties. The plan for conducting
the work is cooperative, the state
paying half and the county half.
The Orange County Board, although
showing sympathy in the enter
prise, failed to make any appropria-
ton for it, and Miss Warren came
here to investigate the possibili
ties of obtaining Unnecessary funds
from other sources. The enthus-
iasm displayed by the canning clubs
of other counties, and the success
with which their efforts have been
met, is unquestionable. Not only
is this work valuable as a means of
occupation for girls in rural dis
tricts, and as a means of nging
them together in common interest,
but it has met with, financial en-
enlargement as we'll. Mr.. George
Mason, in connection with the pro-
posed State Fair, has made the
statement that he will be response

the Girls Canning Clubs, and it is
hoped that means can be secured for
the founding of them in Orange

In this country are the prohibition
ists-the organized enemies of the
liquor traffic-and they are as ag-
gressive and watchful in Florida as
elsewhere. The kind of public sem
timent they stand for is very real
thing, with nothing weak or flabbv
about it, and these people intend to
have the Davis law enforced both in
letter and spirit. Some Of the saloon
men may fight it in the courts and
get out injunctions and all that sort
OF thing, and it will be good for the
lawyers If they do, but the law will
stand and it will be enforced. The
liquor traffic has reached a new cru

0NE.PAPER TOWNS

1t is by no means unusual for
some hopeful newspaper man to
establish, in a "one-paper town
which already has successful daily
or weekly, as the case may be, a
rival publication, and about once in
n hundred times the newcomer
drives the old paper out and occu-
pies the field alone. No one-paper
town can support two papers. One
or the other must 60 to the wall
sooner or later, unless the one that
fights the losing battle is backed by
somebody with well-filled money
barrel.
The Spite paper" in the country
town or small city is far more conf
mon than "spite fences" or spite
walls" in our big centers of popu-
lation. A local clique or faction. or.
it may be, a single individual, Is Of
Tended by some statement made by
thelocal paper or some policy for
which it stands. A new paper Is
launched for the avowed purpose Of
driving the established one out OF
business, and about once in a hun
dred times it succeeds. Frequently
local politics is responsible for a
new paper, which is established
solely for thepurpose of giving some
political faction an organ.
Discussing these things In connec-
ton with the recent establishment
of a new paper at Eastman, the Ro-
chelle New Erfa says:
Local politics is almost without
exception the cause Of second
newspaper being established in a
small town. We happen to know
that this is the case at Eastman.

as good weekly newspaper as there
is in the state, and the paper is
really a credit to the town and
county, but friend Claude has had
political aspirations and-there you
are.

SAVINGS-LOAN PROOF
AGAINST PANICS AND
HARD TIMES

Almost any reputable business is
good for it's members, and good for
its town in good times. But in poor
and panicky periods, very many
would prefer to be out of business
than make the necessary effort and
strain to weather the storm. In our
former home in Minnesota, we have
seen all the banks closed in panics,
but our Savings and Building Asso-
citation sailed the turbulent sea as
unconcerned as ever, not anchoring
(closing) for an hour.
This is one of the greatest mer-
its of these concerns-that they are
safe and sound and running every
business day in the year, and Of ev-
cry year, and ever accommodating
and helpful to members, though otn-
er means fail.
These facts stand out plainly in
the latest reports Of these concerns.

NEW RULING.

In an opinion given to Representative
of Perkins county, Attorney
General Caldwell has ruled that County
of no county in this state
are authorized by statutory enactment
of any kind whatever to levy or extend
a county road tax against property in
cluded within the limits of any organiz-
ed city or town."
Chapter 232, of the 1913 laws, amend
ing chapter 22l. of the 1911 laws, repeal
ed several sections. but under the attor.
ney generals ruling does not effect this
one. The newer act provides that coun-
ty commissioners are authorized to levy
county road tax in addition to the road
taxes levied by the several townships in
their county, and that they shall have
supervision over and shall extend the
same for the benefit of the people in the
township from which the tax is received.
