JURY FAILS TO AGREE
LOCKED UP FOR NIGHT

Failing TO reach a verdict after
several hours of deliberation. the
jury in Circuit court that heard eyi-
dence yesterday in the suit of Ed
gar Chapman VS.. Coronet Phosphate
Company was locked up for the
night. by order of judge Francis NJ.
Robles.
The suit was brought TO recover
for the less of a pair of mules valued
at 5000, the mules being drowned
by falling off a dam while working
at the mine. The defendant claims
that the animals were in charge OF
Darracott G. Son, who had charge OF
the hauling at the mine, and that
consequently Mr. Chapman should
not look to the phosphate company
for damages, as he rented the mules
to the contractor. The suit is for

OUR DECREASING DEATHRATE
Cora Frances Stoddard)

Cora Frances Stoddard)
The North American Wine and Spir-
1t Journal, referring to the fact that
the death-rate in the registration area
OF the United States in 1915 was 1876
for each 1000 of population while in
1900 it was 17.5 per 1000, claims that
as the consumptions liquors has
steadily increased" the reduction in
the death-rate was due to improved
sanitation and medical science and to
a generally higher standard Of living
among the people, and intimates that
liquor and alcohol have little to do
with each other on morality rates.
That the death-rate has fallen and
for the reasons given no one will at
tempt to deny. But the statement is
only a part truth. AS everybody
ought to know by this time, the per
capita consumption of alcoholic liq-
uors has not steadily" increased since
1900. Between 1900 and 1907, the
year which marked the beginning of
the new period of Prohibition activity,
the per capita consumption increased
SOB gallons. Between 1907 and 1914
it decreased .29 gallon and still further
In 1915. Hence the increase in con-
sumption of liquor between 1900 and
1915 took place prior to the recent
Prohibition period.
Now for the death-rates. The
death-rate per 1000 population for the
eight years 1900-1907 averaged 1862
1t never fell below 1877 The average
death-rate for the eight years 1908.

THE DRY LAW IS MAKING GOOD

The Spokane Daily Chronicle of
recent date gave the following edi-
torial endorsement of prohibition:
Prohibition is meaning money in
the treasury of every large city of
the Pacific Northwest, according TO
reports of the first years results.
More than this, it is meaning re-
duced court dockets, empty cells and
fewer inmates in public institutions.
ITO what extent the financial and
business expansion of 1916 can be
attributed to prohibition cannot be
estimated, but every city testifies
that rohibition bas not fulfilled the
predictions of it's enemies.
Portland reports 256 insane com.
mitments during 1916, against 3if
in 1915. Migrants in the county
Jail during the year numbered 80,
against 406 in 1915. The police
made 10,042 arrests in the first II
months of 1916, against 1S,243 in
the first / months of 1915.
Seattle reports 1857 arrests by
the police in 1916, compared with
1927 in 1915. Prisoners taken
before police court during 1916 pre-
sented bail money totaling s2S5,701,
against $1O3,137 presented bp pris-
oners in 1915.
From Tacoma comes the report
that 210 criminal and 1,450 civil ac-
tions were filed in the Pierce county
Superior court during 1916, COM
pared with 222 criminal and 1906
civic actions in the previous year.
prohibition may yet be some
what of an experiment in the Pa
cifc Northwest, but 1t is proving a
most profitable experiment. Boot
leggers and the permit systems
thriving under the encouragement Of
liquor dealers in nearby states--have
not overcome the economic and
moral saving brought about by clos
ing the saloons.

OF making laws there is no end-to
their enforcement there is a decided
limit
There is no reason to believe that
Floridans are much below-or above
the average in their disregard Of
law. Most of US would be grieved-
perhaps angry-to be told that we are
habitual law breakers, but it's a fact.
We don't commit murder, we are not
highwaymen, we don't steal, we pay
the grocer and the tailor, we are toll
erably regular in attendance on Sun
day church services, and we pride our
selves that we are pretty decent cit
liens.
It's all right so far as it goes. but
there ar esome other debts we don't
pay. some very importan laws we
break regularly and often, and the
worst of it is that when it's proved
to us, we smile and, in fact, we don't
care.
Every intelligent citizen knows that
good health, personal and community,
is the basic fact of individual and
community prosperity. In other
words, if we are weak and sickly, If
we don't have physical health and
strength. all the rest is hardly worth
the while.
The statute books of Florida carry
some very importan enactments,
which were put there to conserve the
public health of Florida citizens, and
as the public is made up of idividuals,
they are intended to protect the in
dividual in his inalienable right to
health and to be protected from the
results of his neighbor's sins of self
ishness, neglect and willfulness.
These laws are the concrete express
sions of long experience, observation
and study not by Florida doctors and
sanitarians alone, but the aggregated
wisdom of leading scientific men ev-
erywhere. They are not the "whims
and foolishness of DOCTORS" but they
are the results of the combined wis
dom of doctors, than whom no body
of men has accomplished more for
the welfare of mankind. Only the ig.
norant and narrow-minded will ques.
ton the statement.
Why aren't the health laws of Flor
ida enforced universally instead OF
spasmodically or not at all? One
reason is that, excepting under ex
treme and unusual conditions, when
we can't help the personal application
most of us apply them to the other
fellow and not to ourselves. We don't
and won't recognize ourselves as the
real offenders.
Another reason is that because we
can't Immediately see the why and
the Importance of this or that enact
ment for the protection of health, we
conclude that it isn't worth while any
The Lakeland evening telegram., 1917-01-24
FzOr'idQ'S Health Laws

way and promptly forget it.
Still another reason of the failure
to enforce these laws is the personal
relationships of public officials. (sworn
to enforce these as well as all other
laws) to proven offenders. There's
the fear of weakening political pull.
Take an example. It's based on facts,
only the names are fictitious. A rep,
resentative of the State Board OF
Health sees on Tom Jones' fruitstand
a lot of fruit an vegetables, Intend
ed to be eaten without being washed, y
unscreened and surrounded by swarms
of flies. He protests, hears an excuse
and gets a promise that the condi-
tions shall be remedied, which, OF
course, isn't done, because Tom
doesn't have to.
Gathering evidence and witnesses
the complaint, formally written out
is handed to Bill Smith, the jovial
public prosecutor, and the complain
ant as citizen of the State demands
that the fruit be covered and that
Tom Jones be punished. Now Tom
has been doing this same thing for
years, but Bill knows Tom person
ally and knows that he's a pretty
decent fellow, and when the Board
representative gees, the memoranda
are promptly stuffed into a pigeon
hole to gather the dust of weeks or
months, perhaps of years.
What's the real remedy? In the
present apathetic condition of public
sentiment Tin many, not all, Florida
communities) nothing short of IN
epidemic of typhoid fever or other
disease, traceable directly to these
unremedied offenses against reason
able health regulations. OF course,
such a cure of law breaking would
be expensive in life and funeral ex-
penses, but in practically every
county and community in Florida
such unremedied conditions exist,
unprotected and inviting the vista
tion of disease and death.
These mysterious dispensations
of Providence "are no mysteries at
all; they are the direct, traceable
results Of the more or less deliberate
fractures of law, moral and civic.
There would be small sympathy
for the man who rushed in front OF
locomotive racing along at sixty
miles an hour. The sympathy would
be reserved for the family. and the
friends, and if any were left foi
him, IL would be: Poor fellow, he
was crazy" He would have met his
death by the violation of a natural
law and he knew perfectly well the
result of such violation. He would
be no more and no less deserving Of
sympathy than the hundreds who
daily violate known health laws
written or unwritten.
