ceding night and that they bore no rela-
ton whatever to the item you spoke
about.
When you state that you told an off
cial on the 10Th. that [ mad pat on Birth
Control". and that he knew the idea the
title con veyed, then | think it must have
been you who suggested that idea to
him, as had it been his own original
opinion, he would most likely have APP
preached me on the matter direct. 1t
would appear to me that you are trying
to evade the main question, namely. as
| have been informed: that you said
your informant had told you the film |
showed on Monday night, 18Th. was not
as stated by me, absolutely harmless
pictures, but six reels dealing only with
an immoral" idea.
Concerning the poor ''perfective" (per-
spective?) shown in my letter, | must
say that it was not in the presence Oh
ONE witness that you made your state
ment" as you please to call it; but in
the presence OF a CROWD, and it is
row known to everybody. Because as
you claim, you made your statement
only to one gentlem u, Gees not relieve
you of the responsibility for it; espe-
claliy not, if this gentleman was a
Government OIlclal. AS everybody VINO
have seen the pictures agree that they
are absolutely harmless md have no
connection whatever with any filthy
idea, you ought now 70 be convinced
yourself, and as a gentleman make an
apology for your entirely unjustifable ac-
cusations against me. If you have been
wrongly informed, that would appear
to be a matter entirely between you and
your man."
The last paragraph in your letter
advising me to give the people good
clean shows, seems to me to suggest
that | had anytime given unclean pic
lures, which causes me nee more to
remind you of your oWn logic: Quod
gratis asseritur, gratis n~egatur''. That
means, if yol make a statement without
proof, | deny it without proof.

HOW AN EDITOR GETS WISE

Out of 365 days in the year the
editor of a daily paper works 730
counting extra time. During all this
time he is trying to please people.
He tells the truth about the news to
the best Of his ability. He looks for
all the good things to tell and leaves
out some Of the bad. He must use
agencies at hand for gathering news
and sometimes he makes a mistake
strange to say. He always hears
from those mistakes and always cor
reefs them. II he happens to over
look some one In local notice lie
always hears from that as soon as
the paper is out. This he always
acknowledges in the next issue Of
the paper. He is always and ever
lastingly saying something through
the columns Of his paper to boost the
town and the people. This is also
source of education to him, as some
one is sure to point out to him how
ii could have been made little bet
ter or stronger. And so, in the course
of few decades, more or less, de-
pending on his staying qualities, the
editor wracks along and by the time
he is old and feeble he has accumu-
lated an education along practical
lines. He has amassed fund Of in
formation and experience that ought
to get him somewhere when he dies.
IL 1t hasn't while he was alive. Tar
pom Springs Leader.

CROOKS IN SANFORD

A great stir has been created Just
the past week in regards to the al
legged body of crooks that have been
operating in and around Sanford.
The grand jury, feeling duty to in
vestigate such matters called many
witnesses and from information sained
on the streets 1t looks as If there were
really o band of crooks or wire tap,
pers that had been in Sanford, but
who had, for some unknown reason
left just before the grand jury turned
in its report. l have been in Sanford
for long, long time and it has al
ways appeared to me to be pretty
straight sort of a town-the authors
ties seeing to it that nothing OF a bad
nature should be carried on here, but
the fact that 1t appears that wire tap
pers were here and are likely to re-
appear gives me the bunch that it is
time for every one to constitute him
self as a helper to the officials and
lend what aid he can to the stamping
out of the evil. 1t has been said, and
il has been my experience that these
sharpers usually get by, or stay with
in the law, don't know which. The
officials of our town, as we'll as
of other towns have been unusually
active against this form of disturb.
apce, but yet I see by the papers that
these gentry seem to be actively en-
gagged in crying their wares. SO to
speak. I see also by the papers that
in other cities deplorable conditions
of this kind have been relieved by acr
tons Of committees for that purpose.
II the condition in Sanford takes
such action I am sure there will be
enough good thinking citizens to back
the proper parties in attending to the
obtaining of the relief sought. San

Miss Howard Delighted
Tampa Music Lovers


Miss Margaret Howard, pianist as"

were presented in a concert recital by
the philharmonic department OF the
Tampa Woman's Club, last evening IN
the music room of the Tampa Bay
hotel, which was crowded to its ca
pacity with music lovers and admirers
of the artistic.
The proceeds were most gratifying
and will be devoted to the many phil
anthropic enterprises carried on by
the club. This department OF the
club is always ready to assist in any
charitable movement or emergency,
and the committee is most grateful
to all who contributed towards last
nights entertainment.
Miss Howard is Floridian, a resi-
dent of Lakeland and a wonderful pl-
anist. She was pupil of Carl Fried
helm LISTS best pupil. and has been
prominent in concert work for several
years.
Her first numbers last night were
"The Fri King" (Schubert-Liszt), Pres
de la Mer (Arensky) and La Cam
PAMELA Uiszt). She gave a brief
synopsis of the numbers, making them
more interesting. "The Fri King was
especially effective with its resonant
bass notes and rhythmic movement.
Miss Howard charmed all with hel

Miss Howard then gave Etude, op.

Ballade, op. 27, group Of Chopin's
compositions, which were sparkling
and melodious. The latter proved
especially popular and called forth
enthusiastic applause. She responded
TO the repeated encores with another
lovely number.
Grieg's "In a Boat" wonderfully
dainty and tuncful number, was sung
by Miss Finney, followed by But

tar" Babylonian love song (Spross) !.
Responding to the enthusiastic en-
core, Miss Finney sang by request,
"Try Smiling" Miss Howard COZ"

LAKELAND BOY SENDS
POEM ON "DOUGHNUT GIRL"
Camp Gordon,
Base Hospital. Ward No. S.
January rs, 1919.

January rs, 1919
Editor Telegram:
I will take the pleasure this morn
ing in writing a poem to you which
] would like to have published in your
newspapers at home. I just arrived
from France and have had plenty Of
experience over there. The title of
my poem is
"MY D0UGHNUT GIRL"
Here at home when they sang on the
corner,
We used to pass heedlessly by,
Though the Salvation Army was toll
ing,
But few of US understood why.
But now we've been over to France,
And then face to face with the
Huns,
There the salvation doughnut girl
ScTNcu us
And stuck till the struggle was
won.
AS night settled down over the
trenches,
There, homesick and lonely, we
would stand,
Watching close where the star shells
were lighting
The stretches of No Mans Land
Then we would hear Che soft voice of
woman,
AS she served US hot coffee and
bread;
It was our doughnut girl cheering the
soldiers,
Right there-amid the quick and
the dead.
Do you think we could ever forget
her,
As she mothered us along in the
fight,
Putting home and good cheer in our
coffee
And encouraging men to the right
Why, man. while there's breath in our
bodies ~
We will reverence the Salvation
lass bI
Who fought with her douphnuts in
France
That we might face shot, shell ami
gas!
Armed with her pies and her dough
She was constantly cheering us
through;
Her smiles beaming out N the dan
gers;
Her words ano her deeds true blue
She was mother, sister and brother
To the soldiers III tho bloody whirl,
In the deepest respect we salute her
Forever she's our doughnut girl.
Mr.. Editor, I will kindly ask you
also to give the Red Cross a nice
write up for they have done splendid
work over there.

kindness,
