The Tarpon Springs Progressive is
an excellent newspaper, but it deals
so largely in speculative and relig-
ious philosophy, and is so constantly
on the lookout fir the millennium
that we generally pass up it's edi-
torial column in awed acknowledge
ment that it is beyond our depth;
but now and then we find a nugget
of homely and mundane wisdom that
assays 100 per cent. A case in point
: is where the Progressive observes
that "a newspaper that is not fit to
go into the home is not fit to be
published" Real newspaper men
have high ideals, that will not per-
NIT them to publish anything that
cannot be read by any inmate of the
home. They keep their columns
clean from sensationalism, from
filthy stories, from unnecessary news
of the scum, from abuse, from intol-
erance, from malevolence. We are
happy to say most Florida newspa-
pers live up to these ideals. The
exceptions are so few as to be glar-
ing, and these exceptions are with
out the respect Of the newspapers of
the State.

Promoters of the Tampa, Plant
City and Lakeland interurban line
state that final contracts for the
construction of the road have been
let, and that work will begin by Oct.
1. The road is to be completed
within fifteen months after the be-
ginning Of work. Within the next
decade the Evening Telegram pre-
diets that all important towns of
South Florida will be connected with
electric lines putting the people of
each community in close touch with
the others. Whether this will lead
to real improvement in conditions of
living is a problem that only time
can work out, but undoubtedly it
will require readjustment of meth
DDS of doing business.

Editor Frank Harris of the Ocala
Banner, will be one of the Demo

editor of the Star, the competing

Mr.. Cats admirers are now boast
ing of the fact that he KILLED mig

cution on the plea of insanity. This
is almost as good a reason why he

given by Editor Bowden, who exults
in his statement that whenever Cats
gets letter he rips open one end OF
the envelope and if there is no check
in sight he drops it as worthless.

Palabras de Lloyd George
La paz seria un desastre-dijo Lloyd
George en- un discurso pronunciado Ell dia
II en- la Camara de los Comunes de Ingla-
terra.
"Hoy dia, los ejercitos estan ocupando
Ell lugar de los diplomaticos. Al decir este

de la Union Americana habia sido desde-
NADIA por ell pueblo ingles.
En- su respuesta Lloyd-George dijo que
Inglaterra no solo no buscaria la paz, sino
que no toleraria intervention por parte de
los PASSES neutrales sobre este asunto.
FL Ministro Asquith, al tocar este mismo
punto EN- su discurso parlamentario, dijo:
mo podemos permitir que esta guerra sea
terminada por un compromise precario y
deshonroso disfrazado bajo ell nombre de

han arrojado sobre las forta1ezas de los
alemanes millones de granadas. Sc calcula
que mas de sesenta mil granadas diarias, de
grueso calibre, estan cayendo sobre las
tropas teutonas.
Ell General Brusiloff, comandante en- jefe
de estas tropas, esta decidido a capturar la
importante plaza de Vlademir-V olinsky,

Segun Ell Estado Mayor aleman, ell MI
nero de ~perdidas alemanas durante Ell mes

Mas de diez mil millones de marcos han

lanzado por Ell pueblo aleman a favor de la
madre patria. Sumada esta cantidad a la
de los anteriores emprestitos de guerra, al
CANA a la cifra de cuarenta y siete mil mi
Homes de marcos.
Este resultado Sc ha obtenido en- mo-
mentos en- que los enemigos lie Alemania
estan hacienda feroces ataques sobre noso-
tros y debe ser considerable como una
muestra de la confianza de la Nacion en-
sus d~estinos futuros.
"A1emania continua trabajando en- medic
de la devastation de la guerra. En- tanto
que todos alemanes den al Imperio los be-
~neficios de su trabajo, Ell Poder de Alemania

neutrales para que ejerzan una accion de-
cisiva en- la actual contienda y hagan I'm

En- Ell Mar Mediterraneo la actividad de
los submarines alemanes ha sido intensi-
sima. FL vapor Franconia, de $4,000 tone
ladas, que estaba sirviendo a los aliados
para Ell transporte de soldados, fue hundido.

Portland, Maine. Sept. l2.-Maine
returned victory for the Republican
party.
Figures from the returns indicate
that a large percentage of the Moose
vote, which two years ago was 1926
in the state, was cast Monday for the
Republican ticket.
With more than twothirds of the
vote in at midnight. indications are
that the Republicans have elected a
governor, two United States senators,
four representatives in Congress and
carried with the head of the ticket the
State Legislature and many local Of
fices.
II the ratio of the Republican mar
gin indicated in the later returns is
maintained, Carl E. Milliken is elect
ed governor by approximately $4,000
majority over Gov. Curtis, the Demo
cratic incumbent.
Frederick Hale, Republican, has de-
feated United States Senator Johnson
by an indicated plurality of 1000, and
Bert NJ. Fernald. Republican. is elect
ed to the short term in the Senate
over Senator Stills by majority of H.
600. The voters among other things
have apparently broken the total vote
record set in 1880, when 147,O0O votes
were cast. It is figured now that the
10000 mark has been passed for the
first time in thirty-six years.
In ten counties completed, nine Re-
publican sheriffs were elected and
only one Democrat, Cumberland coun-
ty, which was supposed to be making
open war irrespective of party affili-
ations on the Temperance shrievalty
candidate, who had the Republican
nomination, elected him.
The Republicans also have increased
their holding in the State Legislature.
In the Gray and New Gloucester dis
trict they won seat which they have
not had for twenty years.
II the Republican congressional
candidates hold the lead they have
shown in 44O out of 625 precincts
Louis B. Goodall in the First district,
Representative John A. Peters in the
Third and Ira G. Hersey in the Fourth
are elected without any doubt.
Daniel J. McGillicuddy, Democrat
was defeated by Wallace White in
