ABRAHAM LINCOLN said "Let reverence
for the laws be breathed by every American
mother to the lispng babe that prattles on her
lap; let it be taught in schools, in semnaries and
in colleges; let it be written in primers in spell
ing-books and in almanacs; let it be preached
from the pupts, proclaimed in legislative halls
and enforced in courts OF Justice and, in Short
let it become the political religion of the nation"

We applauded last night at the Chamber of
Commerce banquet the plea of Mr.. Dngs for
"honest politicians" but we should be obliged
to Mr.. Dings if he would point out to our naked
eye any man who is primarily politician and
essentially honest. Present company never yet
has met one of that sort.

What this country needs just now is a lot of
United States senators who, like Henry Clay,
would rather be right than president. There is
on the trail of the presidency who would rather
be president than right. And our deliberate be-
lief is that neither of them ever will be either.

NEAR SERIOUS
AUTO ACCIDENT
LAST MIGHT

Last night about 1O:30 o'clock two
men in Ford coupe, a Mr.. Taylor, Of
Live Oak and a man named Austin,
said to be frcm Lakeland, tried to ne
gotiate East Lemon street between
Massachusetts avenue and Lake Mir
ror while travelling, at a rate caid to
be about 40 miles an hour, and III that
saved them from bath in the lake
was an electric light pole, with which
their car came in direct contact. The
front of tho car was practically de-
molished and the men received bad
cuts and bruises about the face and
arms. The impact of the car brought
down the light wires, and these lay
broken on the ground, setting fire to
the grass and endangering nearby
property, The Fire a.arm was sent
in, and the department soon had the
fire extinguished.
From all reports, the men were not
familiar with the streets of Lakeland,
and coming in on Lemon street from
Tampa, they presumed there were no
corners to turn before Jacksonville
was reached, and they kept right on
after Massachusetts avenue was
crossed, meeting a two feet ditch en-
route, to which they said "Howdy,"
and finally making stopping &C.
Quaintance with the electric pole and
later garage and doctor bill. 1t was
certainly miraculous they were not
both killed, and they can count them
selves very lucky that the accident
was nd more serious.
The alarm was sent in from Box IL,
in the heart of the business section
and much concern WIS felt by bust
ness men for fear tie fire was near
their place of business.

BAPTIST CHURCH
TO MEET TONIGHT
Question Of What Church Will Do With
Reference to Use of Land for Wild

The First Baptist church trustees yes
terday called special meeting of the
church for tonight at 80 o'clock to
see what action the church will take
with reference to the proposed widen
ing of Main street and the use of GER
tain land owned by the church for that
purpose The proposition to widen the
street hinges largely on the action of
the church.
II it is willing to give the land, it is
thought the question of land damages
would be eliminated, SO far as the town
is concerned, as a subscription will be
started to raise the $4,000 asked by
Houghton e Simonds and the land
bought of them will be given to the
town
If the church asks damages the Ma
sons, who are willing TO give land pro-
vided the other abutters do, will be en-
titled to ask damages, and claims for
damages on account of those properties
would reduce the chances of the propo-
sition being voted on favorably by the
town.

Austria is left by the treaty a state

Austria agrees to accept the league of

to renounce all her extra European
rights, to demobilize her whole naval

trial by the allied and associated powers
of her nationals guilty of violating the

FIRE WAS ONLY

Brilliant Display Last Night Caused
Belief that Property Was Burning
Telephone Inquiries.

An exceptionally brilliant display of

caused many persons hereabouts to be-
lieve a fire was raging in some of the
towns north of here last night. Many
telephone inquiries were made, but no.
body was able to get line on any
fire, and finally the true cause of the
illumination of the sky was learned
As the shades of dusk began to fall
over the town the red glow spread up
ward from the northwestern horizon to-
ward the zenith, at first as steady as the
glow from some far distant fire, but to-
ward the end of the display the red
faded slowly into a pink and almost to
yellow, then with a rush the fullness
of the deep red would again climb up the
sky.
: The display was noted over wide see
tion of the country and caused an i'm
preston of fire similar to that here. with
similar telephone inquiries.
