There is no doubt that such course would be
practicable, if But the if cuts wide swath
A good many earnest workers for capital removal
have, subconsciously at least, notion of benefit

benefit the state to have located there, and, also,

automatic absorber for what the single takers call

Of the states money, and turn ii over to the state

Perhaps discussion of the plan may contribute
something to the enlightenment of the public on
rather obscure corner of the economic realm 1t

FRANKLIN K. LANE

If Republican testimony is Of any value, Frank
lin K. Lane who died yesterday at Rochester,
Mimi, was the best man in President Wilson S
cabinet. That view was repeatedly expressed in
the newspapers and by the public men of that
party.
And, while we should not consider it final
verdict, we do not regard it as hi h compliment to
a distinguished Democratic statesman that he filled
important positions, for many years in the lime
light, and yet so conducted himself that even his
political enemies forgot to which party he belonged
His one misfortune was being born outside the
United States. That kept him out of the list of
presidential elgibles. But for that, his chances
OF being nominated last fall would have been at
least equal to that of any other aspirant But,
though not born under the stars and stripes, he
lived nearly all his life in this country, was edu-

PEACE TALK

While Lloyd Georges statements regarding
Poland have a belligerent ring, they constitute
genuine peace talk. The treaty of Versailles is
the only charter of peace in existence, and if its
signatories should make scrap of paper of it,
then the state of war would go on pcrpetuaIy,
because, in the future, no nation could trust the
assurances of another
Germany must be made to pay to the last cent.
The world stands behind France in that. But
Germany must have whatever rights are assigned
her under that instrument; and the world is equally
interested IN that, not through any love for the
Germans, but because the honor of the whole CIV
llized world is involved in the treaty.
Lloyd George reminds the French that England
entered the world war to carry out the terms
OF treaty to which she was party. Having
signed another treaty she will not lightly con-
sent to its being scrapped. 1t is time for the
world 10 take sensible view of the situation.
France Is acting like bully She is endangering
the peace of the world just as Germany was
doing ten years ago. And to answer criticisms
OF her conduct with the cry of "Progermanism"
is to reflect upon the intelligence as well as the
self respect and patriotism of the whole world.
he British premier, Drawing this cry, which is
said to be even more potent in England and
France than in America has spoken Out in ex-
ceedlngly plain terms. Unless we are much mis-
taken he has voiced the sentiment of four-6fths /
of the people Of the United States as well as of
England. France must behave.

A CLEAN SLATE

The persistence of Professor Jones and the To-
cal board of education in their determination to
withdraw, and the acceptance of their designations
by the county board, cleans the slate.
Full responsibility for the future of Lakeland's
school system now rests upon the county board
Recognizing that. and all it implies, the Telegram
at the same time sees in the membership of the
board men of integrity and public spirit who desire
to conserve the best interests Of the people. Fur
thermore, it has the positive assurance of members
of the board that they stand ready to work in
harmony with the interests and wishes of the peo-
pie of Lakeland.
So far as this paper IS concerned that covers
the whole case The Telegram wants the best
possible schools. conducted in the best possible way,
for the children of this city. 1t does not care
particularly who runs them, or who derives glory
from their success. provided the results are what
they should be.
The proper course at this time, therefore, is to
agree upon three men for the local board, who are
in harmony with this sprit-men who will enter
upon their duties with no feuds to settle and no
grudges to satsfy-who will make the interests
of the city their first and last consideration and
meet the county board on the basis of harmony
which that body now tenders. Let questions of
official prerogative take back seat. Let the whole
purpose be to build up school system worthy of
this growing and important city. Get tie very
best teachers that can be had, provide them with
the best equipment obtainable, and let them know
what is expected of Them
AS for the mass meeting, with lis per-fervid
oratOry, its rafter-hfting excitement and it grand
Eloquent resolutions, let the whole thing be for
gotten. or remembered only as pre-commence-
ment exercise in vocal pyrotechnics.

As Others See It

to Hon. w. A. McRae for an article in his last

we are confronted with pages of wasted effort

FOR POOR MOVIES

Whenever there is hue and cry in one direc-
ton, it is always safe to bet an influential male
factor is skulking in another Thus, the present
wave of criticism of the morals of the pictures
and goodness knows the morals of many of them
are bad enough-keeps the public eye safely oc-
cupied while the big film makers slip into Wash
ington and get protective tariff on imported pic
lures which will efectually prevent the introduce
lion from abroad of anything of better quality
than the Los Angeles aggregation chooses to turn
out. In the meantime, the process of reducing
dramatic art in this country to a standard of
hopeless mediocrty. mechanically pressed down to
level which virtually destroys the distinction be-
tween true art and its cheapest imitation, will go
on under the benevolent care of the government
at Washington which still retains its affection for
all industrial infants eligible for registry in the
Millionaire class

MOVEMENT ILL ADVISED
(Tampa Tribune.)

The effort of an enthusiastic, wellmeaning but
misguided Free Mason to obtain an endorsement
of President Harding and his administration by
the National League of Masonic Clubs, happily
has failed A resolution of approval was rejected

to go on record by resolution a well-wisher of

executive in all his purely administrative duties
