What do you think of the PROPOSE
fion that the city buy the Auditor.
ium? While usually we have very
pronounced views on most every
thing that comes up, we confess that
in this matter we have an open
mind. II you have an opinion rela-
tive to this proposition, write it in
an article of two or three hundred
words, sign your name, and we will
print it. Perhaps you may convert
us as we'll as some of our readers to
your way of thinking.
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1916-09-21

The Evening Telegram notes with
genuine pleasure, from the minutes
OF last nights meeting of the City
Commissioners, that the long needed
street improvement is to be launched,
and that the building Of drive-ways
around Lake Morton and Lake Wire
"a included in the project. Natural
ly the streets connecting with the
county roads viii receive attention
in this deal, and nothing that could
be done for the city at this time
could be of greater benefit. The paw
ing around the lakes, while not so
urgent, is also most desirable i'm
provement, and will mean much to-
ward enhancing the attractiveness
of the city. There doubtless will be
some difficulties experienced in car
rying out this project, as the ques-
ton may be raised as to whether,
under our present charter, the city
can pay two-thirds of the paving
cost. Property owners may claim
riparian rights, and these should be
ceded to the city before the work is
done. However, all these things
probably will be worked out salts
factorily, and the TELEGRAM trusts
the citizens will cooperate with the
commissioners in an endeavor to Sc
cure these improvements.

The Tribune, usually most fair
journal, just cannot look at the
Knott-Catts contest from an un-
prejudiced viewpoint. Instead of
giving Knott credit for surrendering
173 votes gained in Madison, be-
cause of the cry of fraud in connec-
ton with them, the Tribune wants
to know why he didn't give up all
the gains he made in the recount :.
Simply because the charges of fraud
in Hamilton had been sifted, and
those making the charges failed ut
terly to sustain them. From what
we can gather Mr.. Knots action in
surrendering his large gains in Mad
dson county was a gratuitous and a
Quixotic concession to highly SEN
sitive conscience. When would Cats
have done such a thing?

 End of War

Chicago, December 4-Hugh Ward, who, with Harry F'razee, has purchased the Boston American baseball team, and will come into formal possession on De- cember If, Is planning to give Europe some major league baseball as soon as the war ends.
 My plan is to send couple of base ball teams over as soon as the league sea- son here closes" MT. Ward, who is here today, said: As for the expense it will cost less than to send team from New York to San Francisco.

Call Money Goes to New
 High Level in New York

New York, December 4.-Twelve per cent was bid for call loans on the stock exchange here this afternoon. This is the highest rate quoted for this form of accommodation since the outbreak of the war, the rate on August 1, 19l 1, not exceeding per cent.
 Today's boost was attributed chiefly to the steady shrinkage of local bank reserves which have fallen in the past four weeks from almost $100,00O.000 to S41 900, 900, since the federal reserve system became operative.
 A loan of moderate amount was made at 15 per cent shortly after Z o'clock. From that rate there was a decline to 10 per cent.
 The rate at the close was ' per cent, with indications of further activity at higher rates for tomorrow.

but 1t is the only way. Tech has shade when everything is taken into considera- tion. Look:
 Tennessee beat Vandy by a single touchdown, while the latter won from Auburn, 20 to g, or touchdown and a field goal victory. Tech comes along and piles up 33 to 6 against the Plainsmen, which is practically two touchdowns or more better than Vandy proved to be against Donahue's men.
 Tech beat Alabama when the latter was at her best by two touchdowns, Kelley 8 men scored a technical victory over Se- vance, which in turn held Vandy even. Take the Vandy standing with the Vols and figure. To make the Alabama con- nection stronger, pipe off Georgias vic- tory over the Crimson and then remember that Tech beat Georgia 21 to 0.
 Tennessee, taking it from still another angle, was able to down Clemson with a 26 to 0 score, all of which plus the Tech victory over the Crackers, puts Tech way ahead.
 Other instances, possibly more remote, could be given-undoubtedly the bug will find them-but the above are about the

 Mir. Weeghman said two major league clubs were looking for spring training requirements, and he hoped to get one of the two to take over the Tampa con tract so that he may take his club to California. He said that the Tampa visit was more expensive than taking his team to the Pacific coast.
 Tampa, December 4.-Secretary L. D. Reagin of the Tampa Baseball Train ing association wired President Charles Weeghman of the Chicago National league club today, that the Tampa men who stood back of the contract for the spring training here preferred that the Cubs fulfill the contract but would re- lease the Chicago club on payment of $25Oo, the amount the local organization stands.

Prepare to Ward
 Off Immigration
 From Western Asia

Washington, Dec. 7. - Warning against a threatened migration of the populations of Western Asia to the United States is contained in the an nual report of Commissioner General Anthony Caminetti of the Immigration Service, made public to-day. The war and conditions immediately after it's close will stay the stream for time but steps to head it off, must be taken before transportation interests begin to cul1 the field for their business, the report declares.
 Immigration from the far Orient, too, is problem still unso1ved, the report sets forth. The systems here tofore devised to deal with it do not promise much improvement and ma- chinery for enforcement of the Chi nese exclusion act is not adequate or well adapted, it says. Arrangements for the admission of Japanese, it is declared, should be amended to fit conditions better
 '"The Chinese exclusion law" says the report, should be so modified as to make use of the same administra- tive methods and means as are em- ployed in enforcing the general immi- grafton law; and the Japanese ar rangement should be so changed as to reduce materially the efficiency of the otherwise fairly satisfactory plan."
 Hindu immigration, which would be permitted more freely under a recent Supreme Court decision, will be taken care of in the Burnett immigration bill pending in Congress.
 Smuggling of Chinese, the report says, has been combatted vigorously with the result that amateur snug gling has been stamped out to a large degree. Higher prices that Chinese are willing to pay therefore, it is said has attracted to the business an ex- pert class of criminals who use more scientific methods. A bigger appro- priation is asked to meet the prob lem.
 The war situation, the report says, has presented many difficult legal and administrative questions at sea ports and along the Canadian border.
 The report describes the develop ment of its employment service and outlines an extension of it's policy of cooperation with states and munici- pal employment agencies.

PUBLIC LANDS IN
 US. BEING ! TAKEN FOR H0mESTEADS
Twenty Million Acres Are Claimed by Private Own
 CTS During the War

Washington, Dec. 7.-Pubic lands in the United States are being taken up by -homesteaders in rapidly in- creasing quantities as shown in the annual report of Secretary of the In aterior Lane made public to-day. Twenty million acres were claimed by private owners in the year ending with June 30. as against seventeen millions for. each of the preceding two years and a still smaller average for previous years.
 Of the s25o,000, ,000 acres of public land still left in the United States much is in the arid region. The Re- clamation: Service carried on con- struction work on "A irrigation pro- jects,. completing ten and adding B. 900 sarms to territory for which ir- rigatfon water is available. Irriga- ton water is actually going now to nearly 20,0O0 farms.
 The report emphasizes the work of the Indian Bureau, whose health campaign, it is declared, has cut the death rate among Indians seven in 1000. The bureau has conducted a campaign to save Indian babies by giving Indian mothers proper care. Hospitals were constructed and addi- tional physicians were employed in the health campaigns.
 Work in the Indian schools was re- vfsed to reduce the hours of academic work and to increase the number giv-
