The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1916-10-11

Mr.. Editor: |
One of the most humorous and yet
nhilosophical deliverances from Bro.
Gardner, before the lime-kiln CLUB
runs thusly: My Bredern, it am my
certaneous opinion that reason we have
so much unhappiness is because we
spects too much" SO in this card
borrow Bro. Gardner's philosophy ana
advise my neighbors don't expect TOO
much. For this only the Tip Top
mans philosophy. The question Is
Cats. two ITS" or Cats one it. Or
to set a good example toward ministers
/ amend the query. Rev. sidney
Cats. late of Alabama for Governor OF
Florida or not Cats-briefly Rev. Cats
in his speech at the park drew a ais
tinction and implied difference De-
tween Cats human and cats brute.
This much. is undoubted fact. we
have a new kind of Cats come into
Florida. Not angora or maltese, but
a Rev. human Cats. And as Rev. SID
new j. was anxious to fix both DIS
.tinction and difference between Rev.
Sidney j. Cats and all other kinds Oh
cats, | follow his example and strive
to aid him in showing both a dlstlnc-
tion and difference between this new
kind of imported Cats and all ordl-
nary cats. The question searching for
this distinction and difference as
press it to its logical deductions Oh
facts reveals | think, less distinction
and difference than Rev. Sidney AFRO
gates to himself.
OF course, no ordinary cat or even
Darwins jumping acrobat monkey can
leap the God set boundaries between
kind and kind and give us this new
kind of Cats. The human and brute
cats hence are forever distinct species
And yet no brute characteristic Ii
more proven than the feline creeping
seemingly cowarly maneuvering which
an ordinary cat slyly tiptoes will
noisless steps to attack is victims
And there is another cat characteristic
the differing results from rubbing hi
back. Now Rev. Sidney Cats huma
has, l think, initiated to perfectio
these two brute characteristics.
cannot view his entrance in such PR
nounced and disturbing promises II
to Florida politics for my neighbors
But from my view point Bro. Gait
human is a practical imitator of
brute cat in the feline creeping mai
ner he slipped out Of Alabama prom
hence in politics to enter our Florid
politics. He certainly shows a fir
taking on of cats feline creeping all
seeming cowardly manner of poun
ing on poor Catholics, traitorous di
graceful Florida governors, Com
troller-General and other rats in tn
public barn. To my view there is Ii
tie distinction or difference betwee
Cats the human and cats the brute

so I think it unfortunate he has see
fit to call lower, not needed, brute c,
instincts to aid his learned and pic,
