POLk'S SPLENDID ROADS

1t was certainly good to hear men
of such standing and unquestionable
judgment as DR.. ]. H. Ross and J.
Walker Pope making the public dec
iaration to a representative gathering
of the most influential men and larg-
est taxpayers in the county, that in
their opinion, and in the opinion of
tourists and travellers, the roads be.
ing constructed in Polk county are
uneXcelled by any in the United
States. Such statements coming
from such men, ought to set at rest
the ISLANDERS promulgated by irrespon-
sible and vindictive persons, who
have no real interest in the roads at
all, but merely use this great project
to incite prejudice and stir up discord
and dissension, merely to advance
their personal ends, or to further
their personal antagonisms.
That these efforts to incite dissat-
isfaction are discredited and the
reckless statements disbelieved, is
plainly shown by the fact that in a
meeting widely advertised, and at
which every effort was made to get
out the dissatisfied element, only fif.
teen persons Of this class are claimed
to have been present. Those voting
such sentiments were, by actual
count, only nine in number, but we
are willing to accept their own claim
that there were fifteen
The Evening Telegram has con-
tended all along that most of the dis
satisfaction which exists in connec-
ton with the road work was among
those who opposed the bond issue;
and these statements are borne out
by the fact that the leader of the lit
tie coterie at this big meeting was a
man who worked with might and
main against the road bond PROPOSE
ton.
Judge H. C. Gordon, of Tampa, who
addressed the meeting ON another
matter, declared that this was the
most representative gathering of citi-
zens he could hope to get together.
The big men of the county. from Null
berry, Fort Meade, Frostproof, Haines
City, Winter Haven, Auburndale-
from every precinct of the county
were there. 1t is childish to insist
that these men do not represent the
true sentiment of the county. They
came to see justice done to honorable
men who have been basely maligned; |;
to place the seal of their disapproval
upon those who have been trying to
convert our best asset and our big.
gest advertising point into a bone of
contention and a means of bringing
our fair county into disrepute They

And then, when you had traced his
whole life and back again to the pres

you once more that he was going to
war, did you throw yourself across the
bed where his things were and cry
out in your anguish? And, little moth

And did you finally steel yourself to
pack his clothes ir his grip, carefully
examining every sock to sec that it
was perfectly darnad, and examine
every garment to see hat no buttons
were missing?
And then, a week after he was gone,
did you go with his father and sister
! and brothers to see him where he was
encampcd with his company? And
did you feel proud of your son when
you saw him in the new uniform of his
country. And did you not think him
the finest looking soldier in all the
command? And do you remember
how pleased he was when you gave
him the cakes and pies and jellies
you had fixed for him?
Little mother, your boy has an
swered the call OF his country in its
time of need, and how proud of hin
you must be proud to know tha
your son-fesh of your flesh-wa:
not afraid to 90, and did not shirl
his duty!
When the greatest trial of all comes
to you, when you stand in front o
the bulletin boards and watch, dr.!
eyed, as the list of the killed ant
wounded is posted up, you will still
feel thrill of JOY that your boy, YOU
first born, was not afraid to 80 whel

dauntless spirit in time of danger; ant

Did your boy join the army, little

it until your heart is nearly broken?
Did you kiss him goodbye that morn

a great effort, so he would not go
away feeling SO badly because he
knew you cared SO much?
When you were packing his grip
and had all of his things spread out
upon the bed to be sure you had for
gotten nothing, did you drop on your
knees and ask God to watch over and
care for your boy through the danger.
Gus days that were to come?
Did you retrace his steps back to
childhood. to the days in the little cot
tage, when there were just John and
you and the bOy-yOur own wonder

Then did you follow him as he grew
