HOW MANY DO YOU. KNOW
IN TARPON SPRINGS?

We have no disposition to minimize
the Importance of the action of the
government in ordering the registra-
ton of all alien enemies. This should
have been done at the time we enter
ed the war. But we greatly fear that
even this move will not put stop to
the Vaccinations of the enemy in this
country, from the fact that his readi-
est tools are not aliens but citizens of
this country. The alien is an easy
person to watch, but the traitorous
citizen sometimes battles the best eff
forts of the police. And, humiliating
as it is to admit it, we have number
of these in Tarpon Springs, according
to reports. Some of them would doubt
less balk at actual sedition, yet every
day of their lives they are aiding the
cause of the Hun. They kick and
knock and find fault of every act of
our government, and if they were men
of weight their pessimistic influences
would be disastrous. Happily for the
country, however, the great majority
of our people>a are loyal, and they soon
place these gentry where they rightly
belong outside the pale.

Editor The Leader:
. ] see by yesterdays paper that you
had an article in regard to little bass
recently taken out of Lake Butler and
called it a monster" and led your
readers to believe that it was the dad
dy bass of all that have ever been
caught in that beautiful inland body
of water.
Kindly allow me to say that for the
present time and date, 1918, the fish
recently taken was a large one, but
it was only an infant compared with
the biggest" one ever taken. In years
gone by there have been number of
monster" bass caught out of Lake
Butler, but only ones biggest" was
ever captured, and that was way back
in the winter of 1886, shortly after
Tarpon Springs had her birth. That
fish weighed a little less than II
pounds. Files of the newspaper pub
lished here at that time can be pro-
