He never got out and

The Proposed Memorial
Building In The Park
MIR. FLETCHER'S SAY

Dear Editor: Will you kindly al,
low me space in your columns to ex-
press my views on the question Of a
Memorial building for our heroes
First, will say that an arch in the
shape Of rainbow would be a most
beautiful emblem, painted in our ma
tional colors, and erected across
Florida avenue near the City Hall. It
would be gentle reminder of the
great covenant that our Heavenly
| Father placed the rainbow in the
skies as token that he would never
destroy the world again with flood,
and, while our leaders are forming a
League of Nations so we will never
have any more wars, would be an
emblem that would be elevating and
inspiring and the coming generations
! would call us unselfsh and patriotic
and much and lasting good would BIZ
accomplished, as no creed or sect
could use it for any other purpose.
Second. l will say that Mum Park
was donated to the City of Lakeland
by A. G.. Mum, the founder OF this
beautiful inland city, who had ision
to see this beautiful park where the
children may play among the flowers
and the young ladies and gentlemen
may WOO each others hearts, and the
old may rest their weary bodies and
minds under the shade Of those beau
tiful oaks festooned with dreamy
moss, unencumbered with any build
ing that might become menace or
stinch to the rising generations as
sects. creeds and factions change.
And we should be broad-minded and
have visions to see the necessity Of
safeguarding the rising generations
from any expense or trouble that
might arise from the cause CT our
ignorance or selfish motives. I invite
the criticism of all unselfish, patriot
ic citizens, as trust you see tie JUS
tice of my views, and hope you will
vote against putting any bull ling in
Mum Park as we have no moral,
legal or civil right to use it Cor any
other purpose than what it was do
hated for, and we should not rob the
founder Of Lakeland in his grave
while needing the appeals Of the liv
Ing. Yours to serve,
G. g. FLETCHER.
(Mr. Fletchers attention was called
to the fact that he was making mis-
statement relative to the city hav-
Ing mo moral, legal or civil right
to put building in the Park as the
official records prove otherwise; but
he said 1t was all right to tell an un.
truth, as that was the best way to
bring out the truth.-Ed)

Mr.. DRANE HEARTILY
APPROVES OF COMMUNITY
BUILDING IN THE PARK

House of Representatives, u. s.
Washington, D. c.
Lakeland, Fla, Feb. 9Th, 1918.
DR.. R. r. Kline,
Lakeland, Florida.
Dear DR.. Kline,
You have been kind enough to ask
for an expression Of my opinion as
to the proposed Memorial Building,
what form it should take, what its
cost should be and to what uses 1t
should be put. take pleasure in
complying with your request
The idea in building handsome
memorial to the young men of Polk
County who offered their lives and
gave honorable service to their coun-
try, involves most beautiful senti-
ment and one to which every good
citizen, every red-blooded American,
will heartily respond. Nothing
which the civilian population can do
to show honor to those men will be
too much, and believe that when
the plan and purpose is fully under.
stood, the response will be beyond
the expectations of the most SAN
guine.
The tentative use you have out
lined is eminently proper, but
would suggest that the gentlemen
having the matter in charge keep al.
ways In mind that it is a MEMORIAL
to the soldiers and sailors of the
great war. 1t should be emphasized
that it is erected as an honor to
them for all time. Those who re.
turn will be pleased that their hon.
orable service is held in sacred re-
membrance, and surely to those who
sleep their long sleep, who laid down
their lives for their friends, we owe
a sacred obligation to keep their
names inscribed on a Roll of Honor
for all time. The names of the liv.
ing or dead, who honorably served,
should be placed in the building on
tablet of bronze so that their chill.
dren's children shall pay them hon.
or as long as time shall endure.
The building should be of great dig
nifty and refinement 1t should be
as nearly weather-proof as possible,
being constructed OF brick, stone,
concrete or combination of the
three, and it should have a tiled roof.
The floors should be Of tile and this
should especially be true of any out
side floor exposed to the weather.
The building should be the most dig
nified structure in the community.
Its cost should not be less than $685.
900 and even more II it can be
financed.
MY idea Of financing the building
would be that the city should issue
bonds for a large percentage Of its
cost, but that every citizen be given
the opportunity to contribute direct
ly Of his substance or his labor. Ev.
cry man, woman and child who loves
the American Flag, loves the men
who fought for it, reveres the mem.
ory Of him who died for It. I have
an abiding faith that the people of
the community will feel honored in
our belief that they have the spirit
to accomplish such a noble aim in
such sacred cause.
Let me know how | may serve-it
will give me pleasure.
Yours sincerely,
HERBERT ]. DRANE. M q

TO STABILIZE PRICE OF WOOL.

The wool growers of the country are
very much disturbed over the question
of wool prices for the clip of 1919, and
they will therefore welcome a bill in
troduced by Congressman Mondell in
tended to stabilize the price of the 1919
clip by providing an import duty on
foreign wool sufficient to cover the diff
ference between the value of foreign
wool offered for import and the price
of similar wool as fixed by the Gov
ernment for the domestic clip of 1918.
At the time of the signing of the ar
mistice the Government had on hand
nearly three hundred million pounds of
wool, more than the total of the 1918
domestic clip, and had under contract
about Il hundred million pounds of for
eSn wool. a continuation of the en-
barge on foreign importation has been
urged with n view of ~stabilizing prices
but it is not practical to extend the en-
barge indefinitely or beyond the time of
the signing of the peace treaty in any
event.
III WIS stule VI dHdlTS IDe only pfac-
tical remedy seems to be along the
lines suggested by Mr.. Mondel's bill
which follows the legislation enacted
for Ii protection of the Government in
fix4ng a guaranteed minimum price for
wheat. The Mondeil bill provides that
the President shall determine what rate
of duty added to the value of any wool
offered for import prior tn July 1, 1920.
would be sufficient to bring the price
or such wool up to the price paid or
fixed by the Government for the same
grade of wool of the clip of 1918. The
sum thus determined shall be levied as
n duty on the imported wool, Such leg
isaation will stabilize the present price
mi insure for the 1919 clip u price ap-
proximating that paid for the clip of
1913.
