MEMBERSHIP COUNCIL
HOLD MEETING; PLAN
BIG BANQUET IN
EARLY FALL

The Membership Council of the
Chamber of Commerce held its usual
bi-monthly meeting at luncheon at
pthe Colonial Cafe at noon today. Ow-
ing to the fact that a number of the
live business men of Lakeland are
out Of the city, or were otherwise
engaged. the attendance was mod
crate, but those present were none the
less enthusiastic, and the meeting
was pleasant and healthful.
The plan for the paving of the
streets to connect with the county
roads. which had been worked out by
Secretary Holworthy, was discussed
and was unanimously recommended
to the City Commissioners for their
adoption.
1t is planned to hold big ban
quet about the middle of October, at
which time the get-together spirit
will be largely in evidence and en-
thusiasm and civic inspiration for
the coming season will, it is hoped,
result from the good cheer and good
fellowship of the occasion.

RECALL RUMORS AFIOAT,
BUT NO AUTHENTIC
Information
ODTAINABLE

Rumors of the circulation of pc
tition for a recall of the present City
Commissioners have been heard for
some time, but the Evening Tele-
Ii2ram has been unable to ascertain
just where the movement originated,
or the nature of the complaint on
which it is based.
The Evening Telegram naturally
reserves an expression of opinion
until it has more light, particularly
as to the nature of the charges
against the Commissioners. From
such information as 1t has at this
time the movement does not seem
warranted. We have given no pub
licity to the rumors mentioned up to
this time, because we have not con-
sidered them seriously, and it is our
policy to harmonic and unity, in
stead of to stir up trouble and foster
antagonism in the community. We
doubt IL any recall movement will be
pushed at this time, although parties
at the bottom of it may have some
thing up their sleeve of which we are
in ignorance.

The City Commissioners have been
in session the greater part of the day
hearing complaints of those whose
properly assessments had been
raised in an effort ito equalize the
tax valuations. There were plenty
of complaints, naturally, and, of
course. it was difficult to convince
the man whose assessment was raised
that he was not being made the
goat" In a general way, however,
it may be said that taxes in Lakeland
are not as high as in many towns
and cities which do not have any
thing like the living advantages this
city possesses.

lily in view of his statement that when
he became president he hated the Eng
lish so much that he had to make a vow
TO himself not to permit his hatred of
Great Britain to influence the conduct
of his official duties. This statement
was made by Mr.. Roosevelt to a group

can mention by name. 1t was made in

Presumably Mr.. Roosevelt, at another
occasion, told a British official and a
group of Anglo-Americans the reverse,
and assured them that his dislike of
Germany was so intense that he had
difficulty in restraining himself from
rushing into war with the kaiser. If
he made such statement, he no doubt
told the truth if we may judge of the
past in the light of the present. 1t is
possible, however, that Mr.. Roosevelt
hates the British as well as the Ger
mans, for Roosevelt loves no one but
himself. He has sacrificed every one

son.
No man has had greater trials as
President of the United States than
Woodrow Wilson, with the possible ex-
ception of Abraham Lincoln. In the
midst of these great problems it must
be admitted that our president has main
tanned splendid poise. Oh, that the
rulers of Europe had displayed one-half
the patience and observation-disclosures as
that which has been characterized the
bearing of Woodrow Wilson in steering
his country safely through one great
crisis after another. And where is there
dignity in the United States today
who could have matched with the dip
lomatic sagacity and courage of our own
leader in dealing in matters of interna-
tional significance9
In the crisis he faced the president
should have had the hearty support of
every man. woman and child in Ameri-
ca. For it developed that Mr. Wilson
pursued exactly the right' course. Any
other attitude of the president would
have plunged us either into war or pro-
longed the submarines controversy. No
matter what other construction may be
put l say that Germany's answer was
an open admission that Wilson was not
only right, but fair. Another president
might have gone to war with Germany
without sending any kind of note. And
we all ought to thank God that there
was a Woodrow Wilson in the White
House to withstand the pressure of the
war seeker. ON the one hand and the
falg ptb y
course was the middle road. and he
fearlessly too, that road. We have all
much to be thankful for for that as true
Americans and with allegiance to one
flag, and one flag only.
The coming Of the Deutschland was
nothing else but an admission that the
United States government has been
within its rights in permitting mer-
chant vessels to carry good to the allies.
For if Germany takes goods out of this
country to be used in the manufacture
Of its guns, it certainly does not believe
the United States could honorably pre-
vent the allies from doing the same
thing. If Germany counld turn the tab.
les on the allies in the blocade situa-
ton, it of course would have a distinct

has been on the other side all along is
no indication that the administration
has been unneutral or unfair to Ger
many.
The reception given the Deutschland
crew in Washington proved distinctly
that neutrality really exists in the seat
of our government. And conversely it
disproves the theory that there is any
hostile feeling here in official quarters
toward the Imperial German govern
ment.

German. American Turns Do,vn
Hughes Because of Roosevelt
(The Fatherland, German American
nrnnnA

(The Fatherland, German American
Organ.
In pursuit of his diabolical policy,
Mr.. Roosevelt continues to alienate vot-
ers from Mr.. Hughes by denouncing war
with Germany. His recent speeches in
tation. Does Mr.. Hughes realize that
Theodore Roosevelt represents no one
save HIMSELF The progressive conven-
tion in Chicago was an empty shell. If
there had been Il fighting chance for
Roosevelt, he would have entered the
fray. He realized fully the pitiful spec
tacle he made of himself when he wait
ed, waited, at Oyster Bay, his grip pack
ed for the call that never came. Roose-
welt could bring nothing to the Hughes
camp except heritage of hate and "a
knife.
Mr.. Roosevelt deliberately seeks to
estrange from Hughes the vote of those
who believe in peace and the vote of
those who believe in fair play. If con-
trary to his calculations, Hughes should
be elected, Roosevelt will claim all the
credit and attempt to domineer the
Hughes administration in the same ruth.
less manner in which he attempted to
dictate to Mr. Taft. If he fails to
dominate Mr.. Hughes, he will set out to
wreck his administration. If, on the
other hand, Hughes is defeated, he will
point out triumphantly to the republi,
can party that no republican except
Theodore Roosevelt can hope to carry
the country.
1t is time for Mr.. Hughes to cry
halt to this treacherous ally. Every
speech of Roosevelt s costs Hughes TO-,
000 votes. The election will be close:
that is the opinion of all experienced
observers. All the newspaper polls point
in this direction. If only few hun.
dred thousand of those voters who can
not stomach Wilson. but are equally um
able to accept Hughes dominated by
Mr.. Roosevelt, stay at home, as one Ger.
man paper in st. Louis suggested OF
vote for the socialist candidate, not be
cause they are socialists, but as matter
of protest, the chances of Charles Evans
Hughes are exceedingly slim. Let Mr.
Hughes ponder the fact that every can
didate endorsed by Mr.. Roosevelt in the
last four years has gone down to de
feat.
Mr.. Roosevelt's talent as a mischief
maker appears again in his letter pub
lished in conjunction with the biography
of John Hay in which he accuses Ger
many of having plotted to obtain Q
permanent foothold in Venezuela Ii
view of Mr.. Roosevelt's doubtful repu
tation for veracity, we refuse to accept
his word without eorroboration. But N,
doubt this is the sort of thing that h,
whispered into the ear of Charles Evan,
Hughes when he dined with him at tn,
Astor. Even from Roosevelt's own sta
tement, il seems clear that England
while goading Germany into violation
of the Monroe Doctrine. had assured tn,
United States behind Germsny's bacl
of her neutrality in case of conflict
Presumably the entire matter was mere
ly British intrigue.
/ We are surprised that Mr.. Roosevelt
