 The big money has not been paid exclusively for Federal League stars for retiring baseball magnates have sold their club stock for many times what it cost them few years ago. The sale of the Chicago Cubs, Boston Braves, St. Louis Browns and the New York Americans, brought close to $2,0O0,0 900, which was more than dou- b1e what the previous owners paid for these clubs. Now Manager George T. Stallings of the Boston Nationals has just closed a five-year contract with that club at an annual salary re- ported to be $20,oOO. Just where re- trenchment and economy come in is not apparent unless the magnates plan to require the average big league player to pay for the privilege of play ing on the team.

homeseekers, than were here last

All past records will be broken by
margin Of thousands and an unusual
number of residents Of less favored
states will be induced to locate in
South Florida. They will locate in
counties the resources and beauties of
which appeal to them most, and the
best method Of showing these re-
sources and beauties is by exhibiting
in the various departments of the
South Florida fair and Gasparilla car
nival, the dates of which are Febru-
ary to 10.
Approaching the value of these
product exhibitions, representatives of
thirteen counties are already prepar-
ing to send their products to the city.
Not less than twenty counties will be
represented when the fair gates open.
Is your county among those already
enlisted? If not, you owe it to your
selves to get busy at once.-Tampa

NEITHER DO CONDEMN THEE

Never since Mother Eve is reported
to have developed a taste for apples
has there been any scarcity of weak
women. And we might also add that
never since that unfortunate period
IN human history has there been any
scarcity Of self-righteous men.
Now, the thought has always some
how haunted our brain that humanity
has never quite gotten the straight of
that episode. From our intimate
knowledge of masculine nature in
general we are convinced that Father
Adam was perfectly capable of the
ungentlemanly action attributed to
him. But from that knowledge we al
SO believe he was capable of still
greater iQuity-even that of causing
the woman to bear not only her own
sin, but his sin as we'll.
Now if Adam had been Just the
right sort of man how different his
action would have been. We can i'm
agine him, had he had the proper re-
gard for the woman whom his Maker
had given him, when he discovered the
dire consequences of their action, say
ing to his Lord, Il ate the fruit, and
also did cause the woman to eat"
But did he do this? Not on your
life. That was his golden orDortuni-
ty but he let it pass. He did just as
his sons have been doing ever since
that fatal day-shifted the sin to the
shoulders of the woman.
And this brings US again to our
statement that Adam must have been
capable Of even greater iniouity than
was attributed to him-even that of
instigating the disobedience and then
lying out of it. We have nothing to
back up our belief but the inherent
treachery of the male creature in his
dealings with the weaker sex.
But now from out the world-old
tragedy of the sexes shines a star OF
particular brightness. An unfaithfu
wife is the cause of a murder and g
suicide. The betrayed husband, against
his will, is finally convinced of hel
guilt, and the world eagerly awaits
some drastic action in retaliation. Bu
the world is woefully disappointed
What is it he says? "She is my wife
and will stand by her as long as life
lasts"
And the world is staggered. 1t hac
expected something sensational and i
had gotten it with vengeance.
And down through the centuries
from far-off Palestine, we seem t,
catch the echo of a voice of wonder
full compassion, and family ther,
comes to our ears the words: "Neithe
do l condemn thee; go, and sin n,
more"
The evening leader., 1916-12-06
THE COUNCIL CONTROVERSY

The city clerk and the council have a
wrong impression of the motives ac-
tuating the publication of the minutes
of that body concerning the assessors
figures, the millage as computed and
the resultant discrepancies and mac
curacies exposed.
They seem to have taken the matter
seriously to heart and have made out
Of the publication a personal attack.
We assure the city clerk and the
council, once and for all, that there
was no thought of personality in the
publication; simply a desire to furnish
the people of Tarpon Springs with the
proceedings of that body.
1t is the legitimate field of any
newspaper worthy of the name to fur
nish the NEWS, so far as it is able to
gather the news from day to day, and
if discrepancies or mistakes occur in
its public servants, it is also the duty
OF a newspaper to publish the facts
and let the people know.
1t this be treason, make the most
of it.

Florence Lawrence has announced
her intention Of returning to photo
plays.
When Miss Lawrence left the Uni
yersal-Victor company two years ago
she went on trip to Europe for the
purpose Of taking long and much
needed rest. For It was practically
the first rest she had had In eight
years. She visited England, France,
Germany, Russia, Norway. Sweden,
Denmark, afterwards going to Egypt,
India and the far East. Finding that
travelling offered her about as many
opportunities for resting as an adj
vance man for circus has, she re-
turned to her large estate near West
wood. N. j., and since then has spent
most Of her time in experimenting
her fruit trees, rose gardens ana
great asparagus beds.
But she found herself growing rest
less, and pining for she knew not
what. When. one day. she received
a letter from President Laemmle, OF
the Universal Film Manufacturing
Company, she suddenly realized that
what she actually wanted was to get
back to work. Very soon she was
discussing contracts with her old EN-
ployer, and when she left him, she
carried with her the best contract she
had ever signed. and one Of which any
star might envy her the possession.
The first production in which Miss
Lawrence will appear is a screen adap-
tion Of Marie Corelli's famous novel,
"Thelna."
