AWAITING RESULTS

Lakeland has made its bid for Southern Col
lege. The amount subscribed. and the interest dis
played in the effort to secure it show beyond ques-
ton the high appreciation Of the Lakeland people
for the institution and indicate the pride they would
feel in its presence and the support they would ex-
tend to it SO long it existed.
1t is now up to the trustees to decide, and Lake
land will abide their decision. whatever it may be-
Other offers are before them Other cities are
offering more money than Lakeland. Either they
have much larger populations. and can afford more

which the people have made If the college trus-
tees want to place it where all the advantages of
accessibility. climate, surroundings, and congenial
associations will be in its favor-where it can take
root and grow in favorable soil, nourished by the
affections of the people, and fulfilling to the arg-
est extent its mission for the cultivation of mind and
morals-the Telegram is absolutely confident that
there is no other place, either in Florida or in the

ALL'S WELL

The storm that blows your roof away and
winds your COW around tree may cause you
to up and say such caustic things as "Hully
chee!" And you may rave until you're hoarse
and on your gods devoutly call but Nature in
her frantic course is looking for the good of all
She cares no boot for private woes, nor marks
the briny on your face: along her age-old groove
she goes, and strives to benefit the race The
storm that killed your setting hens and from
your watchdog tore the hair removed the fever
from the fens. and purified the noxious air. The
flood comes raging down the creek and browns
some seven head of swine, and you, declaring
life is bleak, are ready to take in your sign The
loss of seven Chester Whites will put you badly
in the hole, and you will wafk the floor O. nights,
but Nature stops not to condolc. The rain that
made the rushing food will make the prunes anu
nutmegs grow. and hundreds bless the whole
some mud. where one puts up his wall of woe.
Each fellow thinks his own concerns are all that
count the one big bet; but Mother Nature never
turns to see whose beehives she upset She
slings some clouds across the sun, she starts Il
tempest on the sea; she has a universe to run
and cannot fool with you or me.

VALUABLE TESTIMONY

How Polk county looks to a western man.
whose knowledge Of the world is extensive and
who writes ntelligeny without fear or favor, is
shown by the interesting sketch of the visit of the
N. E. A. to this county, by Hon. Guy y. Hardy,
of Canon City, Colorado member Of congress- and
publisher Of the Daily Record of his home city.
The extract published elsewhere in today's pa
per is part Of a long article, series Of articles.
first published in the Canon City Record and then
reprinted in lcaAct form, copy of which has just
been received here Mr. Hardy was impressed
by the hospitality of the county. by the beauty of
its orange groves and homes, its splendid high
ways, and magnificent climate. His description
Of other sections of tho state arc just interesting
as that Of Polk county, and without the constant
repetition Of the observer who secs only what he
is shown He looked for himself. formed his own
opinions made his own comparisons, and stated
his conclusions in language which showed an APP
probation Of the almost infinite diversity of this
state.
Such d tribute from such d source is Of incaIcul-
able value Having seen Florida and learned first
hand that many northern impressions of it in
correct he is prepared TO defend it when is
unjustly attacked, either through the press or in
the halls of congress- and, incidentally, he is in
position to grasp the idea, SO difficult for many
northern congressman TO apprehend, that when
Florida asks for little appropriation for improv-
ing river or deepening channel it is not simply
making grab at the pork barrel but is working
for a something of genuine public value That
does not mean of course, that Congressman Hardy
Srill vote for Florida appropriations, just because
he spent delightful period in this state but it
does mean that he will be in position to consider
Florida propositions on their merits, just as he
would consider those from Maine or Washington.

THE BASIS OF REPRESENTATION

Why cant the legislature get away from the
notion that it is necessary to fix an arbitrary limit
to the number of members of the lower house,
Every proposition we have yet seen for re-
apportionment, including the resolution introduced
by Senator Campbell and passed by the senate, is
rendered nugatory. far as securing equal repre-
senation is concerned by the incorporation of this
idea Small counties, of course. ought to have at
least representative each. But the larger ones
should take something like the population Of the
smaller counties the basis of representation and
have corresponding number of representatives.
Impractical, you may say. But anything else
is unequal and unjust
Try it on the Two counties of DeSoto and Polk
The population of Polk is 1861 by the last
census; that of DeSoto is 25.434 A bill is
pending, with fair prospects of passage, to divide
DeSoto into FIVE counties. with an average popuIa-
ton of 5000 Each Of these would have ono
member, but Polk county. with population
nearly twice as great as tho whole five. would
have but two
