REFUND OF $4,000 ON
GROVE RIGHTS

At a recent meeting of the di-
rectors of the Winter Haven Citrus
Exchange, it was decided to refund
to the growers fifty per cent of all
overpaid grove rights, except to
those who have over paid less than
twenty-dollars when the total
amount of the grove right shall be
paid at once.
In view of this order c. o. Brad
bury has this week issued checks
to the amount of $4,000 which has
gone to the growers in Winter
Haven and vicinity.
This is certainly good demon
stration, of cooperative work the
results of which are a pleasure to
the members of the association.
The rebates given the growers
last week through the association
amounted to more than $1,000 and
therefund this week Of $4,000 more
has proven quite an item. The
source from which the refund was
derived last week was divided as fol-
lows: Packing house rebates,
$4.1O2.3s; Sub-Exchange rebate.
$s11.39; Gull rebate (oranges)
$s97.74; Gull rebate (grapefruit)
$1.42O.22.-Wanter Haven Chief.

haps bring on that which we have
hoped to avoid. But up to this
time the full facts are not known
II is not yet known whether the
captain of the Arabic contributed,
by violation of the code, to the
sinking of his own ship. 1t is
among the possibilities, although we
may confess we do not know how,
that the captain of the submarine
might have been justified in his at
tack. it might be possible.
While we are waiting official in
formation, the president is in no
hurry to declare war against Ger
many. He is doing just as every
other sensible man would do in a
misunderstanding with a neighbor,
he is waiting to ascertain the exact
facts.
But not so with Theodore. AL
though he has no access to informa-
ton denied to thepresident and his
advisers, he already knows exactly
what happened, what to do, and IS
loudly proclaiming from the Oyster
Bay housetop, that Germany is
guilty and that lifetime for words
with this nation has passed. II that
we're authoritative, it would mean
hut one thing, that a declaration OF
war would be issued just as soon as
the continued authorities could
frame 1t.
1t Is a word and a blow, with
Theodore, with the blow first. But
fortunately, very fortunately, the
destines of the United States are az
present in thehands of a man with
sound sense, and not a swas,'-
buckler, and deeds will wait on ac-
curate information.
But all the same, it is great
comfort to realize that we have one
man in the country who knows
everything on every conceivable
subject and that he is not at all
bashful about expressing his COLI
victions, for his lightest opinion is
with him a deep seated conviction .
More power to his wagging tongue.

Florida has the usual abundant
crop of candidates for nomination
for State and federal Offices in the
primaries next June, and now let
us have some issues--not platitudes
along with the candidates. Per,

strictly an issue when we are con-
sidering candidates for governor
Congress and the Senate. No person
ally unfit man in his morals and
private life would he likely to offer
for such an Office, but there is no
reason why he should come before
the people unless he has at least
one distinct, vital issue to make his
campaign on. That would give us
something to think about and dis

TEDDY IS SUCH A COMFORT
TO HIS COUNTRY

1t is sucn comfort to have a man
in the country like Theodore Roose-
welt, erstwhile president of the
United States, who is always on the
job and can be depended on to give
his opinion on any and every sub
ject, right off the bat.
Ordinarily, men think over any
proposition before they give express
sion to their opinion. Most men en-.
terrain a fear that If they speak be.
fore consideration, they will be
wrong in their conclusions. but not
so with Theodore He knows that
he is exactly and eternally right or
every proposition that has been sub,
mitted to humanity since the fall Of
man, and before.
One Woodrow Wilson, is by virtue
Of the choice of the American PEG
pie, president of the United States
. 1t is his duty to pilot the country
, through the mazes Of diplomacy in
volved in the unavoidable and in
evitable eXigencies of world wide
war. and If possible to keep this
country from any active participa
tion in the actual struggle. From
all We can learn, the president il
discharging that duty with fidelit,

cess and without loss of honor to the
country.

That is all right for you. Henry,
but if you were manufacturing mu-
nitions of war, with a big and prof.
liable market in Europe for your
product, instead Of automobiles, Tor
which you have an ample home
market, we suspect that you would
look at this interesting question
from very different slant. Now as

THE TRIBUNE's VICIOUS
INDICTMENT

1t was to be expected that the
lynching of Leo M. Frank would
bring about the usual general abuse
of the south in northern papers that
have always magnified certain in
! cidents to the discrediI of a whole
region.
The Chicago Tribune, calling it..
self the world greatest newspaper
is perhaps the most glazing speci-
men of the narrow and provincial
newspaper that has attempted tc
read the entire south lesson on the
misfortune and discredited and dis
owned incident.
THE SOUTH" says the Tribune
needs to feel that its code of con-
| duct is so primative and so brutal
that it has involved the whole coun-
try in disreputee."
That paper hastens to acknowl-
edge that just such brutal incidents
have occurred in the north, but says
that when they have, the community
in which they occurred has always
felt ashamed of the occurrence.
And this Is exactly where the
Tribune is unjust to the south. 1t
charges the crime, which the whole
south readily admits, and it charges
that the south Is not ashamed of the
sporadic incidents of lynching,
which is an untruth of the barest
and boldest kind.
Even now, il the Tribune has
taken the trouble to read southern
papers, the south is showing by
every possible expression in the pub
lie prints that the action of twenty
FIVE men, backed it may be acknowl-
edged by a strong, but limited pub
lie opinion, is regretted and repro
bated The newspapers of the
south were the first to condemn in
unsparing words the crime against
the state Outside of the bitter and
unjust words of the Tribune, no pa
per in the north has been more Sc
we're upon the Georgia lynching than
have the papers of Georgia and other
southern states.
The Tribune has indicted whole
! section of the country for the acts of
lawless few. 1t charges the pas
sions of a few as being indicative of
the feelings of all, charge utterly
absurd and indefensible.
The south could we'll retaliate on
Chicago by saying that no express
sion of sympathy was felt for the
victims of the Eastland disaster and
that no attempts were made to res
cue those involved in it, because a
few police officials and others re-
fused to rescue some of the drown
! ing passengers, as did actually occur
according to the Chicago papers.
The Frank lynching is bad enough
but 1t was no worse crime than
that of the Tribune which reflects
millions of people, charging then
all with being brutalized and charg
ing that the lynchers merely die
that which all the people of thu
south wanted done, an inexcusablt
and vicious lie.-Miami Herald.

Mr.. Bryan comes nearer. at least
in theory, to turning the other
cheek to the enemy that smites him
than any public man of our time
He says that American citizens have
perfect right under international
law to ride on British ships through
the war zone and they are entitled
to protection while doing so, but in
the interest of peace and good will
among the nations they should care.
fully refrain from exercising this
right. Expanding this theory to its
limit and putting it into practical
operation would make us nation OF

anybody to kick. No wonder Mr..

$715,00O.00 in bonds for highway
improvements, in the election of
Tuesday, at the conclusion of an
aggressive campaign for an against
the project which was conducted in
spirit of fairness and with a view
to getting at the very truth of the
problems at issue.
Naturally there was a divided
opinion in regard to the materials
to be used in so larse a work, and
there were those who believed that
the time was inopportune for assum-
ing obligations of such large prop
ortions
Now that the bonds have carried
according to word from St. Peters
burg, opponents of the bonds will
accept their defeat gracefully, and
no contest will be made to set aside
the verdict, it is announced.
There can be no doubt but that
the future material development OF
Florida depends largely on the con,
struction of highways and the in.
auguration of drainage projects.

100 HARVEST HANDS
TO THE WEST SIDE

Nearly one hundred harvest hands
or at least all Dave Easterly in charge
of the state free employment bureau
could round up yesterday last
night for the west side Of the state to
assist in the wheat harvest
Yesterday a call came from State
Labor Commissioner Ashton calling
for 100 harvest hands out Of Tulsa to
work in the west side harvest fields
The rains of the last few days has
greatly handicapped the havesters
and in order to get the crop in shock
it is necessary to cut it within the
next three or four days, according to
Eastcrly.
The men who were shipped out Of
Tulsa yesterday went direct to Wood
ward, Okla, where the demand Is
greatest
