THE INTERNATIONAL QUESTION

The TimeS-Union makes 1t rule
not to discuss a case that is pending
in court. OF course it gives the
news as that develops, but it express
es no editorial opinion as to the mer-
it's of the case. Amy case before a
court should be decided according to
the law and the evidence by the
body the law has empowered to pass
on it. 1t should not be decided by
popular sentiment. The Times-Union
has never been licensed to practice
before the courts. The only court to
which it appeals is the court of pub
lie opinion and an appeal to this
tribunal would be improper in con-
nection with a matter in litigation
before judicial tribunals.
In the recent primaries the vote
between Knott and Cats was so close
that it naturally reulted in a contest
before the courts and we have had
not one word to say of the claims OF
the two candidates for the nomina-
ton because that was matter for
the courts to decide. We were pre-
pared to accept the decision however
it may have gone, and in either case
we would have supported the nomi-

the nominee.
The man who refers to Knott as
a court made candidate is either not
honest or is not using his intelli-
gence. The court has not made any

If two men claim piece

cation the successful claimant does
not ay he got his land from the
court. If an abstract be made of it
he would not include the courts de-
clsion. He would give the chain of
title from previous owners of the
land and he would hold under them.
All the court would have done would
have been to decide that this chain
Of title was legal and binding.
And so in this case the court has
done nothing but decide for whom
the greater number of legal voters
cast their ballots under the law.
The primary election law Of Flor
ida is simple in it's conception but
about as complicated as any law we
know in it's application. We do not
know of any election law that would
be as apt to puzzle the voters, at
least the least intelligent among
them and when the votes have been
cast and the counting begins the in

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

The Evening Telegram has followed
the Progress Of road work in this
county so far, and has been satisfied
that there has been no discrimination,
intentional or otherwise against Lake.
land in the way the contractors are
handling the work. Just why there
should be any such discrimination is a
puzzling question, and the idea would
never have occurred to any one ex-
cept as an excuse to stir up trouble
and dissatisfaction, and vent little
personal spleen. A committee com.
posed of representative business men
OF this city-men who certainly would
not gloss over anything inimical to the
interests of Lakeland-have made a
careful personal Investigation of this
matter and others which have been
cited as basis for complaint, and
they declare there is nothing to the
statement that Lakeland is being dis
eliminated against in any manner.
This ought to settle the matter, and
will, except with those whose only
hope to attract any attention to them
selves is to knock, and snap and snarl,
and whose only pleasure in life, ap.
parently, is to foster i'll feeling, dis
cord and dissension.
Our city in the past has been torn
with fractional feeling. greatly to it's
hurt in countless ways. The Evening
Telegram has been doing its utmost to
harmonize the disturbing elements,
and to unity the community so that
concerted and cooperative action may
lead to this city's further growth. To
this end we have sacrificed our own
feelings and passed over many things
in silence which might justifiably have
been criticised. At one time, also
there was bitter feeling between diff
ferent sections of this county, and
this, too, hurt everybody. Latterly
pleasant and harmonious relations have
been established throughout the coun-
ty, and all sections have been pulling
together to good purpose. To disturb
these relations without good reason,
or for selfish ends, is little short of
criminal. The cultivation of petty
jealousies, the spirit of grab-all and
selfishness, never gets a community
anywhere, no more than it does an
Individual. We are for Lakeland first, |
Of course. but we think Lakeland is
big enough to be above grudging other
of the county such bene-
Ats as should justly accrue to them.
1t is little and narrow spirit that
cannot spread itself over the whole of |
Polk county.

CITY GARBAGE VALUABLE.
Company Offers New York $500, 0o(
for Privilege of Collection,

NEW YORK, January 2s.-The war
and the resultant demand for nitro
glycerin are given as the reasons for
a legal contest which has begun here

has paid s3.I5o.o0O in seventeen years
for removal of it's garbage. a company
now offers the city 100000 for that
privilege for five years.
Counsel for the new bidder explained
why the garbage had suddenly become
so valuable by saying that the product
steam is grease. the value of which at
present is high. From this grease, he
said comes glycerin. from which is
made nitroglycerin.

IS AIMED AT NATIONS
THAT HAMPER US. TRADE
Bill introduced by Senator Walsh
Following His Attack on
British Attitude.

! A bill to prohibit commercial inter
course with any nation interfering
| with the legitimate trade of the United
States has been introduced in the Senate
by Senator Walsh of Montana, following
an address attacking Great Britain's at
| titude toward American commerce. 1t
was referred to the foreign rela
committee.
The bill would provide that whenever
the State Department finds it impos-
slble to secure from any foreign power
satisfactory assurances that it will de-
sist from acts done threatened. re-
garded by the department as unlawful
interference with foreign trade of the
United States, the President should is
sue a proclamation reciting the facts.
Prohibition of Sales.
Thirty days thereafter it would be un-
lawful for any person in the United
States to sell or contract for sale to
any such government or to purchase
or contract to purchase for any such
government merchandise of any char
acter Goods found in course OF trans
portation to such countries and ships
carrying them would be declared for
feited and the owner and master would
be made to pay treble the value of
goods SO carried as a penalty.
Violations of the proposed act would
be punisha BILE by a fine of not more
than 100000 or Imprisonment from six
months to three years. Suspension of
the embargo proclamation is provided
for at any time offending powers de-
sist in acts complained of or whenever.
in the judgment of the President, the
public good may require.
Senator Walsh's Address.
In addressing the Senate, Mr.. Walsh
said:
IF the allies decline to yield to rea-
son, we must cease trading with them,
assailing Great Britain's interference
with neutral commerce of the United
States. In advocating retaliation. he
did. not favor an embargo on war mu-
nitions, but he insisted that Great Brit
ain and her allies were planning to
make even more intolerable the in
vasion of the American right to trade
freely.
eff fixed determination to goad this
nation into retaliatory measures. or to
cry coercion were entertained by the
allied powers. it would find quite fit
ting expression in the course of con-
duct of which our government has SO
respectfully but SO forcefully and just
1y complained. Whom the gods would
destroy, they first make mad.
