IF ONCE DONE, BE DONE AGAIN

IT. Kelley, Norwood, MassD
When this good old world expanded
And our nation blossomed forth
Many were the wise old sayings
Would she ever prove her worth.
Year hy year she proved by prestige
To I'LL nations great and small
Ever living by her motto
All for one and one for all.
Whom in carly wars she gambolcd
For her rights or freedoms call
That's the time she proved 10 nations
That this world was made for allN
Yes. she proved beyond all question
That the right to freedoms cause
Cannot be denied by prowcsS
SO the yoke was broke by laws.
Aye by laws made by the spirit
OF free men On a free land,
And where every one was equal
And all pledged for freedoms stand.
there's one instance where a people
Born of Freedom in their heart
Severed from Il larger nation
That would nu'er give them Il start
SO they tell in books of ethics
"If once done be done again.

The thanks of the better clements of Polk
county and Lakeland in particular are due to
Sheriff Logan and his deputies and Chief Allen
and his officers for their prompt and effective work
in preventing the lynching of Collins. the negro
sent yesterday to Tampa for safe keeping.
So far as the culPrit is copcerned there is not,
and would not be- any sympathy for him. Though
he was probably drunk or doped when he COM
mitted his crimes. no allowance be made for
the effects of bad whiskey on naturally depraved
nature.
But the practice of lynching is becoming blot
on our civilization which not only nterferes with
all plans for legal reform at home. but is held up
before us by foreign nations every time venture
to offer suggestion any question of public
morals. 1t provided even the Turks with retor
