The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1919-02-26

Gov. Cats suggests as a feature of
the proposed Centennial Exposition
in Tampa that the boys of the Indus
trial School at Mariana sing "a
song describing the military achieve
ments, battles, zeal and Christian
spirit of the citizens of Florida" All,
yes-precisely SO! And incorporate
in that song something about a Gov
ernor and Board of Control who al
lowed these boys to be starved; to
sleep naked on stone floors, and to
die of disease for want of medicine
and attention; to be shot down by
guards; to die in such numbers that
the superintendent remarked indiffer'
emily that he didn't know how many
had passed away Put these things
in that song, Governor, for they will
be in the hearts of those unfortunate
lads even if fear keeps these awful
charges from their lips.

GETTING INTO AND
OUT OF FLORIDA
Jacksonville Times-U Union J

The weather has been largely re-
sponsible for precipitating cam
paign of publicity anent the roads
leading into and out Of the State,
which are Travelled by many thou
| sands of automobile parties from
the north every winter season.
USUALLY it is fairly dry during the
winter in Florida, with many days
of brilliant sunshine and many glor-
ious moonlight nights, but the wealth
er man seems to be on sort OF a
rampage this winter and we are hav'
ing much more rain than usual and
not nearly our full quota of sun
shine. This has resulted in the
sand and clay roads leading into
Jacksonville getting into pretty bad
shape, especially as the motor travel
into the State has been unusually
heavy this winter. Taking advantage
/ of this fact the bright boosters of the
West Coast organized a funj AMI
campaign to secure the travel more
directly and divert it from Jackson
vile and the East Coast.
While this is not exactly the prop
err spirit for our own people to show,
still competition is always recognized
as legitimate and since the West
Coast sections have now gotten some
very good roads it is no mere thar
right that they should advertise this
fact and try to induce the motorists
TO give them a trial and at the same
time see the sections of the State
that have until recently been diff
cult to reach by car.
However, Jacksonville and the East
Coast do not propose to be left at
the post in matter of so much i'm
portance and already a good-sized
noise is being made by the automobile
clubs of this city, Miami, Palm Beach
and other sections along the coast.
1t took something like the West Coast
boosting to stir the people of ehe
other sections from their lethargy and
fancied security but now that they
have become aroused something real
ly big and important may be ex
pected.
1t is announced that joint meet
ing of the automobile clubs of the
East Coast will be held in Jackson
vile in the near future and tha
funds will be raised to construct, no
one but three roads into Jackson
ville-one from Brunswick, one from
Waycross and one from Lake City
This will take care of the travel from
all directions and at the same tim,
will develop a great deal of loca

1t looks like those eminent base
ballists, Billy Sunday and the New
York Giants, could get together on
the difficulty which has arisen from a
mix-up in dates. whereby both the
evangelist and the base ball club have
been given the use of the Tampa ball
grounds at the same time. 1t would
be lots of fun to see Billy chasing the
devil around the diamond, ard we
hope the Giants won't get in thu
way.

have been in consultation over the
condition of the Democratic party in
Florida-the Tampa Tribune. the

Sixty-Sixth Regular Session
Opens After Brief Recess

LONG SESSION AHEAD
Appropriation Estimates of $685.
100000 Reported In Households
Ready with Resolution DecIar-
ing Peace.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Most of the
features usually attending the open
ing were lacking at the converting of
the second session of the Sixty-sixth
Congress.
After perfunctory sessions at which
the annual appropriation estimates ag-
gregating $4,S65, 100000 wyere pres
ented, both Senate and House adj
journed for "a hours, when President
Wilson's message was to be read and
legislative work started in earnest.
The Senate was in session %
minutes and the House remained
technically at work for four hours, but
considered only minor bills requiring
unanimous consent Gallery crowds
were much smaller than usual.
Senator Lodge, Republican leader
and chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations committee, said he hoped
soon to press his resolution to declare
the war with Germany at an end, but
indicated no immediate action was
probable
