Pictures of W. M. Toomer, togeth- er with his platform, are beginning to loom up in the pages of the pa- pers of the Second District. Frank Clark has had rather easy sailing sc far, but it looks like he is up against a real race this time. O—— Can it be that Gilchrist has no further political aspirations? He acted as a judge at a baby show the other day, and that will make any man enough iife-long enemies to hamper him in the political game, o candidates pre- closed, to There thyree for State Supesitendent, and sumably have The three aspiring this respor=ibl Hollowa:, tie are tow the cnries serticmen fuenmbent; J.

The law as it now stands, not only prohibits this, but prevents restaun- rants and hotels from serving quail and other game to their patrons. In other words, the law cuts out the great majority of industrions and law-abiding citizens from any en- joyment of our game whatever, Y WCT—— A man in Tampa thought over the matter cight or nine days, and then had some boys arrested for tak- ing some pickets off his fence on Hallowe'en night. We can under- stand how a man could say some cuss “words the morning after, but, It looks like he wouldn't hold malice 80 long, on account of children’s pranks. He and that Fort Myers man, who had a neighbor fined $7.50 for taking three oranges, would make a pretty good team. Y. NSSS—— Why will people risk their lives by eating what they suppose to be mushrooms, but which too frequent- 1y, and too late, are discovered to be poisonous toadstools? How many times do we read of entire families being wiped out by such a mistake? The St. Augustine Record has a sad story of this kind in yesterday's is- sue. Ouly an n»xm:n can distinguish between the mushroom and the pois- onous fungus. One's appetite for the delicacy must be strong to ac- cept the risk. — ———0 1t may be our imagination, but other people have noticed the same thing—that there are one or two of the late candidates for municipal honors who are not so jovial pleasant as they were before election. are very few offices the grouch.

It is a credit to Florida journalism and tzkes rank with the best of the State dailies.

WE BELIEVE THEY'RE BOTH ABLE AND WILLING The latest newspaper arrival in this office is the initial number of The Lakeland Evening Telegram, published at Lakeland, Fla., with M. F. Hetherington as editor. With Mr. Hetherington as editor the paper is going to be everything that could be desired in the way of being the chief factor in the success oi Lake- land morally, socially and, financially. The people of Lakeland are well able to support a daily paper and only question is, are they sufticiently alive to their interests to do so? We trust they are.—Jasper News .

The business man who does not advertise might almost as weel put his goods in a basement as on thel shelves of his store. He does not realize the truth of the statement made by Lord Macauley years ago when steam was the great motive power, that, “Advertising is to busi- ness what steam is to machinery.” He would soon know the truth of it to his great financial gain if he would but test it. This is what the progressive business man does with consequent prosperity to himself and |of gain to the public.—Tampa Times “Lakeland is naturally the pretti- est little city in Florida and it would take only a little effort on the part ‘ul‘ her citizens and those in authori- ty to cause it to make a far more fav- Inrnblo impression on visitors strangers than it now does,” says the Telegram. The editor does not in- tend to throw any brickbats at the town. but urges the general clean- ing up and keeping clean of all the streets. “Lakeland is not worse than other towns,” he says, “but we and {ple, who believed in him and - A .
