The evening leader. (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) 191?-19??, 1917-01-27
Tarpon Springs Needs a
Change in its Government
THE COMMISSION FORM HAS PROV
ED SUCCESSFUL IN OTHER
CITIES, WHY NOT HERE

A commission form of government
in Tarpon Springs would be big
step in the line of future progress
and growth. Stss~H M
1t is a we'll known fact that when
anything gets in a ]rut it experiences
hard time in getting out and this
applies to city government as well as
to anything else.
When a certain body of men remain
in office too long they get a strong
hold upon the machinery of govern
ment and are able to control elections.
This is a bad state to be in, and yet
is is a we'll known fact that Tarpon
Springs is in this very condition. And
further it is claimed that. men who
are willing to become candidates for
different Offices hesitate to announce
themselves for fear of mourning the
displeasure of those who do control
the city. ..,.......--
1t is hard for The Leader to realize
that any body of men should be fear
ed by others in this day and time
when law and order is supposed to ex-
list and justice melted out in the courts,
and The Leader contends that Tarpon
Springs should have the best govern
ment obtainable, be that at whatever
cost it may, the best is none too good
for a city which has been so favored
by the God of Nature that it is one
of the beauty spots of the state, a
state famed for it's natural beauties
and its progress, state whose popu-
lation will be doubled in the next ten
years if the present rate of increase
is maintained.
The Leader believes in the admins
tration of justice to all alike. There
is no reason why one man should be
allowed to violate the citys' laws and
it not be noticed and the other taken
up and fined. It is only human nature
The evening leader. (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) 191?-19??, 1917-01-27
NEEDLEWORK At
THE LARGO FAIR

The Largo fair was the big feature
of general interest in Pinellas coun-
ty this week.
The Largo ladies who had the fair
in charge complimented Tarpon
Springs in the selection of three of
our ladies for judges over the needle
work department. Some time ago,
Mrs. j. c. Beekman was asked to serve
as chairman of judges in this depart
ment, and to see to it that two other
competent club women were appointed
from. Tarpon Springs to assist her.
The appointments were made, and
Thursday the three judges, Mrs. J. C..
Beekman, Mrs. j. S. Davis, and Mrs.
w. H. Bigelow, were taken to Largo
in Mr.. Tinny's car.
The needlework department, besides
the usual productions of the needle,
overfiowed with beautiful embroidery
and lace-work of very superior work.
manship, crochet, knitted work, tat
ting, point lace, and all the finest work
known to artists of the needle and
hook. Many places outside of Largo
were represented. The w. T. /. A. la
dies of St. Petersburg sent fine dis
play of art rugs and other articles.
The Clearwater Woman's club sent a
display of great value and beauty,
which in itself was large enough to
constitute the usual exhibit at such
fairs. Yet the amount of work sent in
by the Largo women was about twice
as large and equally beautiful in each
class-making the placing of ribbons
very hard.
This is Largo's first fair. 1t was
planned and carried out by her women
and was splendid success.
There were fine booth displays of
all fruits and farm produce. The dis
plays of fine, hand-painted china, of
other paintings, drawings and tapes
tries, and other of the arts, were too
numerous to mention.

Root Says Preparedness.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Ex-Secretary
of State Elihu Root, in an address be-
fore the National Security leagues
congress here last night, spoke at
length on President Wilson's peace
speech before the senate Monday. He
asserted that it was a thrust at Ger
many and that it means nothing but
that peace can only be secured and
maintained by preparedness for war.
He said the presidents plan is worth
less unless the league nations are pre-
pared to enforce their will for peace
with overwhelming armies and navies.
He made strong appeal for univer-
sal military training in this country.
