EVERY STATE NEEDS

Congress is at last beginning to

of the federal courts. The bill which
has been introduced is designed to
prohibit appeals on technicalities
which do not affect the vital issues
in tho case and it has been reported
upon favorably by the judiciary
committee of the House and is very
likely to pass that body. The Tar
pom Springs Leader has the follow
ing to say about it, which is well
said, and will be endorsed by long
suffering people who for generations
past have found their courts so slow

WHAT A GOLF COURSE HAS
DONE FOR ST. PETERSBURG
{ Sarasota SUM

Dear RUDE: / was greatly interest
ed in your front page article of last
week about the proposed Sarasota
golf course. thought that it might
be of interest to you to learn how
valuable our new golf course has
proven to US here in st. Petersburg.
This course was opened on jan
uary LIST of this year and the result
even in this short time has been re-
markable. l know personally Of ten
men Of means who came here on ac-
count of the Golf Club. In my OPP
inion, a series of golf courses up and
down our west coast would do more
to develop our towns than any one
thing, excepting good roads.
1t would amaze you to know the
number of inquiries, written and
oral, we receive about the golf
course. 1 think we would find half
dozen golf courses in this section
very advantageous. The people of
wealth who have usually gone to
the east coast would spend several
weeks on this side Of the State and
stop for a few days at each course
Fortunately, the Sarasota section
is getting the good roads and al
the same time the benefit of syste.
matte development. 1t is my sincere
hope that the Sarasota golf course
will become fact.
If our company can be of any ser
vice to you in your campaign for {
golf course we would be only too
glad to do SO.
Sincerely yours,
WALTER P. FULLER.

And here comes Editor Hanna of
the Auburndale News and backs up
Ed Lambright of the Tampa Tribune
in his absurd contention that a
Mary Garden kiss is more to be pre-
ferred than a twenty-dollar yellow
back. Hanna gives us glowing
little rhapsody on the subject that
would Just simply tickle Mary to
death If she could see it and appro-
pirate it to herself, but the wise old
birds who have survived these il
lusions of youth and know how to
appraise things at their true value,
will stand by us in our estimate.
We speak not of the kiss of love,
for that is beyond appraisal, but of
the common or Garden variety
strictly for stage uses, and we can
prove it by every actor on the Rialto
that they are worth neither twenty
dollars nor twenty cents and are as
devoid of soul and passion as the
most tawdry property behind the
scenes.

SAYS CARRANZA Is DOING
HIS BEST


The recent report to Washington
by q. L. Cobb. United States customs
collector in FL Paso, that the Car
rama government is doing every
thing possible to aid Americans was
accumulated here a few days ago by
Charles C. Pearl. president of the
Mexican Petroleum Wells Company,
Ltd, who declared that the present
Mexican government is endeavoring
to encourage rehabilitation and
furtherer development of all foreign
industries throughout Mexico.
Mr.. Pearl. an Englishman by
birth, spent the day at the Seminole
hotel, and left a few days since for
New York and Toronto. where he is
to remain for four or five months.
He is accompanied by his daughter,
Miss sabel Pearl, and his young
son, George Pearl. His company is
one of the largest English concerns
operating in Mexico, and his twenty
seven years residence in that coun-
try. during the more recent of which
he has seen me trying exploits OF
several governments, gives him an
acquaintance with internal affairs
about which he is well fitted to talk
"The CarfaGza government has
tried to encourage all foreign indus,
tries and to afford them protection
This has been noticeable in the oil
industry m the Tuxpan and Tam.
pico regions" he said, thus sound
ing a resonant note of optimism un'
like that voiced by others who have
come to the United States from the
seat of recent disturbances.
"The general impression is prevail
ent among the American and otcel
foreign business men Throughout
Mexico that the Carranza element il
anxious to reconstruct the country
that their efforts contain very goot
elements; and that if they encountel
no internal ruptures or splits. the!
will prevail and establish stron,

RARE PRAISE FOR SENATOR
JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS

Small politics and smaller politi-
clans received a castigatDn long to
be remembered when in the Unlteu
States senate Thursday John Sharpe
Williams of Mississippi addressed
himself to them for few minutes.
Evidence of Mr.. Williams ability
has not been wanting IN the past,
hut on this occasion he asserted COM
handing leadership in a body that
has not been notable Of late for a
high average of statesmanship.
In his mastery arraignment OF
those who for political or personal
ends are nagging the president
into war with Great Britain, Ger
many or Mexico, Mr.. Williams was
as unsparing of Democrats as of Re-
pubIicans. with courage equal to
his candor, he rebuked demagogues
on both sides Of the chamber by ar
sorting that he would not shed
drop of blood in a quarrel over bust
ness or property. even cotton. ana
as to greater disputes over human
life wantonly sacrificed. he insisted
that the matter must be left in the
hands of a president entirely COM
petent to deal with them.
We believe that Mr.. Williams
speaks not only for the better par,
of the south but for the better part
of the entire country. He is as bold
as truth and as circumspect as JUS
tice. Formerly it was not unusual
for a senator of the United States tc
rise above partisanship and address
himself to the welfare of the whole
people. In his revival of standards
long forgotten by those who play
politics and ignore duty, Mr.. vii
liams honors his country, his state
and himself.-New York World.

HOW YOUNG MEN GO WRONG.

Alex C. Lowther was city clerk
and tax collector at Waycross. Re-
Gently he disappeared, and it was
discovered that he was short in his
accounts eleven thousand dollars.
Lowther, after going away, wrote a
letter to Mayor Beatton, of Way
cross, confessing, and telling him
how the shortage occurred. His let
ter is typical. and not only describes
his own downfall, but it would de-
scribe nearly as we'll the downfall
of hundreds Of young men who live
beyond their means and begin by
taking small amounts from the
drawer, honestly expecting to return
it.
| According to Lowther the trouble
started in February, 1914. He took
from the cash drawer his months
salary. SIPS, in advance, intending
to replace it when he received his
check. He lost the. money and Dire"
his salary check and spent it. He
said after he spent three hundred
dollars every cent taken was los,
in an effort to make good.
The shortage, $1,000, was lost In
bets on the 1914 worlds series. Mr
lLowtner was then nearly $1,000
short and took $1,000 more ant
placed it on Connie Mack's Athletics
Contrary to opinion, the Athletics
lost and he came home over $4,000
short. Then he began to take des
perate chances.
