THE NEED OF CLEAN
MEN.

MEN.
| Some time ago Secretary
Daniels gave ont a statement
regarding preventable diseases
which men III the army and
navy secure as a result Of un
clean and immoral lite.
The figures were startling,
but no more so than in ordi--
nary life from which the SOL
dlers and sailors came. 1t is
not surprising that such a con-
dltion exists when we consider
that in every town and city
there are men and women who
complacently accept the doub~
lie standard OF morals. "a
We understand why some
men think they should be al"
lowed to do certain things OBJ
viously wrong for girls and
women. Their defense o. a
Is
different creed OF morality Tor
men and women rests unonl
their own frank immortality.
No one expects them to epr-
denim themselves!
What we fail to understand
is why women, who talk Oh,
unequal rights and deplorel
the double standard. are so
often willing to. overlook al
fault In a man which would
condemn a female sister to a
life of shame. Is the double
standard in existance because
women have not forced MIN
to pay the same penalty Tor
his immortality that he and his
iellowmen have inflicted upon
her kind?
When the fierv tongue OF
scandal willis the flower OF
girlhood what is it that enables
the guilty man to look pure
women in the faces upon terms
of social equality? The price
that a man must pay Tor +
sin can be fixed by women.
and by them alone. but they
can make his punishment the
same as that meted out to his
accomplice by the men OF to-.
day. They can, il they will.
and until they do the double
standard will forever exist. a
tribute to the fact that women
have placed merely a nominal
premium upon purity among
men.

The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1917-06-18

Governor Cats has removed Sher-
i'll Bowling from Office in Duval coun-
ty, and appointed Hayes Lewis to
take the position. The charge
against Bowling is misfeasance and
malfeasance in Office, but the real
reason for his removal is to give
Lewis a job in payment Of a political
debt. Bowling is a very popular
man and is serving his second term
as sheriff. No doubt that the state
senate will reinstate him in 1919. Mr..
Lewis used to be a democrat, but
now he is a Cattacrat. He is mroe
citizen of Jackson than of Duval
county, and, he he say himself, was
on his farm near Mariana when he
received notice of his appointment
He couldn't be elected sheriff of Du.
val in race against Bowling to save
his life. The removal of Bowling
and appointment Of Lewis has been
expected Similar instances are al
most certain to follow. Cats can't
furnish jobs to half his henchmen
without putting out off office men
whom tho people have put in.-Ocala

Of our citizens Of German origin In
the ciyil war they stood shoulder to
native American soldiers in defense
Of the Union and won undying fame
many battle-fclds of that san

They will do 50 again even against the
beloved Fatherland if "a should

to do. on the other side will be their
race and blood, and many rela

struggle. It takes men of iron will
and true patriotism TO cast these ties
aside and step into the ranks to defend
American principles. But the Ameri-
Germans will do this if need be.
They have gone on record in this mat
ter, and no fair-minded American
doubts them for a moment.

of its best citizens in the death Of Col.

very business-like organization. 1t
ranks higher in its composition than
earlier bodies in that there is not so
much of a spread in the ability Of its
members and that more of them are

international items of news have alb

statewide discussion of the prohibit
ton bill little interest has been mani

part Of this may be due to the irreeu-

blockades.
so far there has been only one rise
in stories about earning first money.
when | was a boy back in one Of the
eastern states" says the writer, THE
most of the blacksmiths were using
charcoal instead of stone coal, as it
was then called. in their forges. The
smiths would gather cords Of hard
wood, stack it up in a conical heap,
cover the pile with layers of clay and
black soil and set fire to the wood and
keep it smouIdoring for days. When
done and the dirt was removed there
remained a heap of perfect charcoal.
Near where | lived old John Smith had
his blacksmith shop and one day after
he had opened up his pit just across
the road my half brother and | hap
poned TO drop into his shop and he
hired Us to carry the larger part OF
that fuel into a heap into his bin at the
back of the forge. We lugged it in in
baskets and got a silver quarter apiece

money that | had ever earned up to
