HOPES TO CLEAR

Descamps left today with his charge

permit the American fans to know the
real situation
I'VE undoubtedly will sign with Demp-
sey through Tex Richard as soon as we

ments have reached such a stage that I

COL. SPENCER BUYS
| PEACE RIVER FARMS;.1
MILL DEVELOP LANDS

One Of the biggest real estate deals
ever put over in the county has just
been consummated by the purchase Of
the properties of the Peace River
Farms Co. by Edwin Spencer, Jr.
This property consists of some
twelve thousand acres, situated be-
tween Dundee and Winter Haven to
gether with all the stock and appur,
tenances, consisting of cattle, hogs
tractors, implements, etc. About halt
the tract is muck land, of which about
l.400 acres are under cultivation; the
remainder is very fine citrus land.
Mr.. Spencer will develop this prop.
erty, and undoubtedly will make a
most profitable speculation of it.

ENFORCING CITY LAWS

The Evening Telegram stands for
absolute and implicit compliance with
the law even though some part of it
may at times seem unwise or unnec-
essary. 1t is not for the individual
to decide whether law is good or
bad; it is his place to respect it and
obey it as long as it is in force, 1t
being his privilege meanwhile to use
his efforts to have the Objectionable
regulation annulled.
On the other hand some degree Of
intelligence, discrimination and judg-
ment should at all times be exercised
by those whose duty it is to enforce
the laws. The laws of country or
State, the ordinances Of city or
village, are not intended to be
source of annoyance to the citizens,
or a means Of petty persecution or
harassment Neither is it any longer
considered proof of an officers ability
or efficiency that he has numerous
arrests to his credit. The best officer,
indeed is he who maintains the law
with the minimum of friction. Fur
thermore. the enforcement of the laws
should not be put on a sordid COM
mercial basis. We observed state
ment, pridefully made, that the po.
lice department of Lakeland had been
made self-sustaining; that money
enough had been collected in fines to
pay the expenses Of the department.
Thoughtful people however, will not
regard this condition as a thing to
boast Of. There would be much more
cause for satisfaction if we could say
that law and order had been main
tanned with very few arrests, and very
little revenue therefrom.
Officers charged with law enforce
ment might cultivate a certain degree
Of tactfulness and discrimination,
rather than exercise over.zealousness
in regard to trivial and unintentional
infractions of the law An able law
yer tells US that there are many laws
extant which have fallen into disuse,
and that II 1t were determined to apply
them all to any individual, he could
be bounded and harassed to distrac-
ton. That is not the intent or the
spirit of proper government. The idea
is to so regulate the conduct Of the
people that harmonious relations may
prevail, that none will interfere with
the rights Of others, and that fric-
ton of any kind may be avoided as
much as possible. We do not think
an inoffensive, substantial citizen,
thoughtlessly or inadvertently guilty
Of some trifling infraction of the law,
should be handled like rowdy or &
habitual offender, when word OF
warning, kindly spoken, would have
better effect and keep down much
unpleasantness. We do not think the
stranger within our gates should be
compelled to pay penalty because
he Is ignorant of our ordinances, and
innocently violates some minor regu-
lation.
These things are written in the
kindliest spirit towards our officers,
now that new administration has
Just assumed charge Of things, and
new officials are taking up the work
of enforcing the laws. Zeal is a most
excellent thing, but 1t can be mis-
directed. 1t should be tempered with
judgment, and an understanding that
as before stated, the test of an Of
ficer's efficiency is his ability to keep
the ordinances effective with the
minimum display of his authority.
