The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1916-10-23

The st. Petersburg Times defines
Democrat as lone who votes the
straight ticket from president down
to constable" The Times adds, eve
haven't any hyphenates and no half
way stations" There are people
posing as Democrats who will not
vote for the Democratic nominee for
President They are the same peo-
pie who will vote against the Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor. They
are not Democrats in any sense of
the word, though attempting to use
the machinery of the Democratic
party for their selfish ends.

it appear that Hon. W. V. Knott is
in some way to blame for the alleged

persons could not be deceived by this,
but these kind of statements are not
made for well-informed persons, but
are promulgated in the hope that. no
matter how reckless or unfair they
may be, some one may be deceived by
them. The charge that an earlier
discovery of Branch's alleged short
age might have been made had it not
been for negligence of duty on the
part of Mr.. Knott is utterly unfound-
ed. The State Auditor, acting direct

SLAM LID ON
PUNCH BOARDS
COUNTY AUTHORITIES CLEANING
UP LATAH COUNTY OF DEVICE
HELD TO BE GAMBLING
Sweeping Order Given Out by County
Violations Will Result
-. -. in Prosecution

In a letter addressed to Sheriff
Campbell, County Attorney F. L. Moore
has issued sweeping order that
Punch Boards, commonly used in var
ious places of business about the
county in promoting the sale of ware
land merchandise through a chance
game, is a violation of the gambling
laws of the state and must not here
after be used in this county.
1t was learned today that the sher-
ifs office has already visited Juliaet-
ia, Kendrick, Troy, and Genesee, and
wherever Punch Boards have been
found they have been ordered destroy
ed and notice served on all pool and
billiard halls and other places that
they must not be used.
Mr. Moore's letter advises the sheriff
that he has received numerous COM
plants of the operation of this game
in towns of the county and bases his
decision that the device is a gambling
game on the following statute:
Section 6580-Every person who
deals, plays or carries on, opens or
causes to be opened, or who conducts,
either as owner, employee or lessee,
for hire or not, any game of
faro, monte, roulette, lausquent, rouge
ct noir, for money, checks, credit or
any other representative of value, is
guilty of misdemeanor and is pun
shable by fine not less than two hun
lred dollars or Imprisonment in the

CHORAL SOCIETY
WILL BE A Go
SINGING WILL BE
PROMOTED BY NEW ORGAN
IZATION
Miss Kendrick Organizes Society to be
Directed by Eugene HI.
StOrer

Ii the plans of a group of musicians
do not miscarry there will soon be in
Moscow strong musical organization
devoted to community choral singing
land the study of standard choral
music, numbering more than a hun
|dred in membership.
OF such a community choral society
the foundation was laid on Tuesday
evening of this week when a commit
tee selected the week previous met to
draft bylaws and constitution.
On Thursday evening last group
of persons interested in music, at the
invitation of Miss Kendrick, head OF
the music in the public schools
gathered in the high school, with Su-
perintendent Henry in the chair. AL
though a formal organization was not
perfected it was unanimously voted to
have Mr.. Eugene Storer act as director
of the chorus. An accompanist will
be selected later.
Public concerts will be given in the
not distant future.
1t is probable that membership will
be open to all interested persons who
satisfy modest musical demand up
on their ability to sing. There will
also probably be a small annual fee
for membership.
Tomorrow evening at eight o'clock
in the high school those who have al
ready taken part in the organization
will hold another meeting to conclude
the preliminaries and after that the
membership lists will probably be
thrown open.
The community choral society has
been pet project of both Miss Ken
drick and Mr.. Storer for some months
past. Plans were laid for its forma-
ton in January but obstacles have in
tervened until now. That there is a
large place for such work in Mos
COW is the opinion of those closely in
touch with the city's musical life, and
the most general predictions are made
as to it's prosperity and usefulness.

NEEDS UNANIMOUS SUPPORT

President Wilson needed the aid of
all senators regardless of party.
Senator Stone admitted that he and
the president didn't agree.
THE president is disposed to sup
port the contention that merchant
men may arm for defensive pur->
poses," he said He doesn't say
what defense is and | don't know. If
merchantmen are summarized and
Americans sufferer, he would hold the
offending government strictly to ac-
count If Germany persisted he would
call the matter to the attention Of
congress, the war making body. My
viewpoint is that if a merchantmen is
armed and is transporting munitions
and contraband or troops that it is q
warship."

He declared that it was essential
that the president know that congress
was behind him in making a satis-
factory solution of the problems with
Germany and England. Senator Stone
favored a vote on the Gore resolution
late today but requested that congress
adjourn tonight to meet earlier than
usual tomorrow.

THE FAT GARBAGE CAN.

1t is no credit to us that "the American garbage can is the fattest in the world" remarked Senator Shoot when he injected into the Sen ate debate on preparedness a plea for preparedness for good house. keeping and better homes. If I had a dozen daughters and was able to give each of them a million dollars the day of their marriage" said the Senator, T would still want each to know how to cook, make her own clothes, and, in fact, be superior .housekeeper." The skilful cook and housekeeper is the one who secures the maximum results with mini mum expenditure of money. Any cook should be able to serve a good meal with an unlimited pocketbook at her disposal. The test comes when this is done at small expense. and the highest art, as all clever cooks acknowledge, is to make a good meal out of left-overs that the thriftless threw away. The waste fitness at the table of the American hotel and restaurant has always a. mazed the foreign traveller. In re- cent year the same spirit of waste fitness has found it's way into the private homes, producing what Sen. ator Shoot calls the fiat garbage pail" Meat left-overs which ; French chef or German cook could convert into delicious stews and ra, gouts, and great quantities of bread crusts that should be converted int, buildings, find their way into the na tional garbage pail. There wa,
 never time when the American
 people needed more than now to hea,

litl KRAUSE DEMURRER IS
 DENIED; THREE CASES
 TO GO IN ONE TRIAL

A demurrer to the indictment against Edward Krause charging fraudulent use of the mails when he received certain letters through the mails from Vancouver, was argued this morning by Attorney Kazis Krauczunas and District At torney Smiser.
