Ripping Rhymes
By WALT MASON.
All, WAERE?

All, where is the author of ten years since. whose
works we hailed with loud hurroo? Reviewers said
Now another prince of dazzling genius into
view For little while, in its guady tints his halo
ratified us humble dubs his in the public
prints, and he strong at the Woman's Clubs He
talked of Art his fame and looked like Booth
on a Ore-nght stand, photographed in a queeny
pose, his chin at rest en- lily hand. All where oh,
where is that author and where the books that he
degned to write? And where the wreath on the bulg
ing brow, and the Hall Game beard the ringlets
bright? I've sprung this query every chump and
harsh and changeless the rings: 60 ask the
keeper who guards the dump the senescha of forgotten
things" New genius comes with the glowing dawn,
and night behods it shattered wreck but old Nick
Carter goes marching on and Laura Libby is still
deck. And evermore | go my way | see men blowing
their chckenfeed for helpful volumes by Bertha Clay
and soulful stories by Myrtle Reed. Oh, and then
let drge be sung for the golden genius that failed to
thrive; cannot say why the good die young, we
cannot tell why the freaks survive.

A PUBLIC SERVANT

An obscure item in thursdays Geographic dispatches
tells of the death Of Richard Maurice Birdso at Chi
cago Comparatively few people in this country know
that this man was great inventor and that among his
contributions to humanity the refrigerator car Some
authority has said hat should the railroads be deprived
of the system of refrigeration for the transportation of
perishabe goods, the country would be set back one
hundred years. Florida would be unable to send to
Northern and Western markets vast supplies of garden
and farm produce time of year when the people of
these sections Of land deprived of these very
necessary articles of food Chicagos great meat in
dustly would moi last day without The refrigerator car;
the residents Ct the souhcasicramos tip of Cuba would
be unable have Chicago beef delivered their doors
just as fresh and in as good condition as when left
the packing house Thousands of ice plants through
out the country have been erected for no other purpose
than the supply of ice for the chilling Of the efgerator
on wheels and Lakeland has one splendid industry Of
that kind that here to a-rform valuable service
for transportation. The memory of Richard Maurice
Brdsoil should be venerated.

history taught in the schools is ancient history and
you cannot rub it out if you wish to teach ancient
history The history there and regardless whether

The CIVIC VIEW

No matter what the opinion and viewpoint of the
average citizen may be regarding the proposed city
charter, this much may be said that there is evident
sincere desire to choose Itch will be best fer Lake
land When the pecy.o ommunity are willing to
tolerate. in the preser: ,ce all angles of thought,
it augurs well for that community. There is too much
at stake in this splendid city to warrant anything but the
most serious consideration CT measures that are up for
adoption or rejection. We who have to live here and
who hope to make cur city more and more agreeable
and comfortable and progressive both fer ourselves and
those whom hope to attract here, can be counted
to weigh carefully and thoughtfuy the decision that is
to be made next tuesday This much can be said with
regard to the new charter that there in it single
hint of selfish purpose rather it the expression of
will afford Lakeland opportunity achieve still
greater things for herself along lines that other munich
pales have found be successful and productive of the
best results.

Judge W. A. Benton has made splendid record as City
Judge and should be reelected During his term of office ne
has shown that he those qualities of head and heart
that essential for filling judicial position Those who
have had dealings before his have been impressed with
his fair and mparona of handling the before
him. His legal capacity and fitness for the position from more
technical standpoint eoquent testified to by the practically
unanimous endorsement given his candidacy by the local bar
That Judge Benton has such endorsement should and does have
great weight with the balance of the community.
There is well established conviction amongst most think
people that the Courts should be kept out of and above part
politics. The only this be done is to select Judges
best fitted for the position without regard to personal likes
and dskes and regardless Of facona agments and when
possible eeect those Judges who have shown their tit
ness by proper service.
The for such policy this city is apparent The
City Judge addition passing upon civil has the duty OF
nctg penalties upon such vators Of city ordinances as are
brought before him. With many voatos of the law convlc-
ton personal enmy against the judge Recognizing the
weight of this influence it is incumbent those who avor
consistent law enforcement to rally to the support OF Judge
who has fearlessy discharged his duty.
Judge Benton has exceptionally fine record and has fled
the position of City Judge to the satisfaction OF the community IN

parade of enthusiastic youths. There
was more grey hair to be seen than

Perhaps the reason for this may
be that older women have had more
opportunity Of seeing now often the
law fails in justice to women, they
have tested the privilege theory" and
have found that rights better with

and "all manner of husbands
The radicalism of the much dis
cussed "1apper" is seldom political,
it is usually social and intellectual.

begin to legislate 2or their daughters,
who sadly need all the help they can
get in this world which insists on

A sweet old lady but recently told
me how disgusted her husband was
when she joined woman's club! He
declared she would be unseXed by
such masculine procedure, and she
had to wage a battle royal before
he was convinced that she could still
be a good and faithful wife and
mother even if she did read a paper
on "The Heroines Of Shakespeare"
Of "The Life Of Lincoln" before a
group of women.
