League of Friendly Town

The Leesburg Commercial, one of
the livest twce-a-weok newspapers
in the State, attaches significance to
the remark passed upon its home
town recently by an outside business
man who said: "Leesburg is such a
friendly town"
Indeed the opinion expressed by
the interested observer is signifi-
cant. And Editor Leach is justified
in commenting on it, because friendly
towns, like friendly persons. always
attract strangers and after contact
soon share a spirit of good will with
them.
Leesburg is a friendly town There
are number of other friendly towns
in the State, too; and Florida is 60
ing to have a more enviable reputa-
tion when it becomes generally
known as the Land of Friendly
Towns.
Towns are known by the twinkle in
their eyes, their handshakes, their
attitudes towards life, their appear
ances, just as individuals are; for, in
the real sense, a town is nothing
more than the individual magnified.
1t is impossible for a town 10 be
greater than the average greatness of
its citizens.
1t is impossible for a town to be
friendliness of it's citizens.
1t is impossible for a town to be
more beautiful than the average
beauty of its homes and premises.
Since time immemorial men have
lived together in groups. The in
stinct to congregate is as old as hu-
man nature. But in the barbaric
periods men CLAIMED together for
mutual protection against enemies of
their own kind and against the wild
beasts that roamed the fields. Some
slept while other watched, all part of
the plan of protection.
In this civilized age, however, men
live in communities together for mu-
tual benefit as well as for protection.
This is the difference between civili-
Zation and barbarism. The barbar-
ian thinks of self-perservation; the
civilized man thinks of self-protec-
The Punta Gorda herald., 1922-04-21

in some instances and the people
from other states have become good
citizens in some instances, and you
will find good and bad citizens
among all of them, regardless Nf
where they came from and where
they go. 1t is high time the native
son" bull was thrown in the barn
yard where it belongs, and all the
workers of the gag thrown with it
where they belong. Florida belongs
just as much to the man who comes
here from other states and behaves
himself and becomes a good citizen
as it belongs to the "hick" who sits
on the fence and whittles a stick
with the idea that because he was
born here he is the supreme creature
and entitled to something more than
the common herd. 1t is high time
the people from other states asserted
themselves in Florida and told some
of the native birds where to head in.

I, ding With Uncle sam

Whenever the people of the United
States come to realization that they
cannot afOrd to trife with Uncle
Samuel in the matter of violating the
prohibition law of the land, the rum
runner business will cease. Admit
tedly it is a hurculean task to put
a stop to booze smuggling but it can
be done provided there are enough
men on the job and sufficient funds
to meet the payroll. Heretofore the
enforcement of the nineteenth amend
ment has been regarded as a Joke but
lately the smile has begun to fade
away from the national countenance,
giving place to more sober express
sion. From a news standpoint the
story of the seizure of several car
loads of whiskey at Jacksonville and
down at Fort Pierce during the last
few days, is interesting because of
the cleverness and daring exhibited
by those who would break the law.
But the prohibition officers are rapid
ly learning the tricks of the trade so
that it becomes increasingly difficult
to carry on smuggling operations sue
.cessfully and effectively. Hereafter
every box of grapefruit or of oranges
will be under suspicion of being con-
traband. What groans and sighs
when the old topper reads that on Sat
a in To l.
railroad yard yielded up five hundred
cases of high-grade whiskey, worth
close to $4,000 and that similar
seizures were made at other points
within day or two of the Jackson
vile event" 1t is estimated that
the value of booze discovered in Flor
ida last week alone will exceed $1OO,-
10000. SO there is ample evidence
that the prohibition forces are not
asleep and that the government pro-
poses to put a stop to the liquor
traffic once and for all time. 1t will
be great help if the individual can
attain that state of mind which will
permit him to extend cooperation
to the point of ceasing to be a Gus
toner of the booze runner The task
of making MS good by process of leg
istive enactment is rather difficult.
If we are to have prohibition, please
let us have it. AS things are now we
reminded of the old trick practiced
back on the farm of tantalizing the
horse by tying a stick to the animals
neck, suspending from the end Of the
stick an alluring wisp of fragrant
hay. 1t is time to break the stick

tunity and to make enemies snly
when il is absolutely necessary.
Enemies sometimes are as worth
while assets as friends. 1t all de
pends upon the issue involved.
It is a pleasant topic for specula-
tion. this idea Of friendly towns.
The more one considers it the more
appealing it is; for, after all, the
finer displays of cooperation and mu-
tual advancement are conceived and
perpetuated in friendship.

CLIPPED COMMENT


Don't argue over trifles. What's
the odds whether Rover died on Fri
day or Saturday?
Don't pry into peoples business.
1t isn't any picnic of yours where the
preachers wife got her new dress or
how much Mrs. Sparks paid for her
davenette or why Mr.. Green calls at
the bank so often.
Don't be pack horse for gossip.
If that bit of scandal is true why
stir it about and keep the stencil in
public nostrils? And if it isn't true
we'll, you ought to be shot for re-
peating it.
Don't be too 'sot" in your religious
belief. If you ever get to heaven you
will be plum surprised to see a lot of
people who never even saw the in
side of your church. Farm Life.

Old Marcus Aurelius Antonius may
have been wonderful old boy in his
day, and sure he has been press
agented as the greatest of the great
when it comes to philosophy, but it
doubtful if he'd fit in these times.
The splendors of a throne had no
fascination for him. the indulgence in
luxury he set aside He found his
greatest JOY in looking around him
and seeing the things he could do
without. When others wanted this,
that or the other, worked and fought
for it, old Marcus smiled and said to
himself, Am | not blessed that | do
not need these things?" Sounds kind
of good on the surface, but suppose
we all did it, We'd be back in caves
in five years. What would become OF
the business structure. We might
get along without the packers trust,

would even put Santa Claus out of

THE DAWN OF CHRISTIANITY

The wireless telephone will soon
sound the death knell of religious in
intolerance, and will bring more good
to the world than any force wrested
from nature since time began, and
the ministers are not slow to recog-
nize the fact. Those of the clergy
who really think and are in intelli-
gent contact with the men and women
of the world, have suddenly come to
see that it is not so much the
churches, as the things the churches
stand for and the manner of their
Interpretation, that is going to count.
When sermons are broadcasted from
coast to coast, the people will soon
come to sense the true from the
false in religious leadership and to
know where may best be found actual
christianity. No longer may the mar
row minded person stand as the law
and the prophets infusing misleading
doctrine into simple minds under the
shadow of the cloth. Too many
creeds have suffered because of their
misinterpretation by little men deal
ing with the biggest of subjects
Today the ministers congregation is
the country, and soon it will be the
world. When this happens the dawn
of a real Christianity will have brok.
