Lakeland people are too busy building a city to give even the fascinating game of poli- tics much consideration. _—— Claude L'Engle says he traveled quite a while with Herbert Phillips, and Herbert didn't laugh the whole time. This is a pretty bad arraign- ment, and stamps Mr. Phillips as a gentleman wholly devoid of a sense of humor. L For a clean man, against whom nothing discreditable can be brought; a capable man, who has proven his ability by the successful way in which he has handled his own busi- ness; a man, in fact, who measures up to Congressional size—the voter can make no mistake in casting his vote for Braxton Beacham. e () e Why not be consistent? We have never joined in the abuse of the Times-Union, which many seem to enjoy; but we note that some of those who have howled loudest against the T.-U., and who boasted of being agin' everybody and every- thing it supported, are now active in the support of the Times-Union’s can- didate for president—Oscar Under- wood. i i S —— A college located at Lakeland would give that touch of intellectual atmosphere and cultural attractive- ness that would round out the city's advantages and render this the ideal residence community. It would at- tract people here of the most desir- able class, and in many ways add to the growth and prosperity of the city. —0 From all over the State reports reach this office that Park Trammell is easily leading his opponents in the gubernatorial race, and there is ev- ery reason to believe he will be high man in the first primary and an easy winner in the second. Indeed, it would not surprise his enthusiastic supporters if he distanced all com- petitors and went in on the first pri- mary. VS There was never as much business activity evident, as many enterprises established, as much commercial gpirit created, in this city, as in the past few months, or during the pe- 1iod since a daily paper began pub- lication here. Of course, we do not | claim credit for all these things; but | it is undeniable that the effect of a | laily newspaper on local conditions : more potent, direct and advanta- us than that of any other enter- prise. —_—0 Without any insinuation of unfair motives—though such insinuations are freely made by others—it seems to us that a disregard of the State committee’s instructions, in the mat- ter of placing the names of all presi-I dential candidates on the ticket, is wholly unwarranted and indefensi- ble. who conceived the presidential pri- mary idea that every voter would be| given an opportunity to express his | preference of all the Democratic can- | WILSON AGAINST THE FIELD; WALL STREET AGAINST WILSON Col. E. W. Washington correspondent whose weekly feature stories written over the non de plume “Savoyard’ have for years illumined the political literature of the nation, has sized up the present sitnation in typical “Sa- He writes: of voyard™” style “As | osaid, Democratic side of the hedge, where the condition remains — Wilson against the tield. It will be a miracl» | it Taft is not nominated by the reg- ular convention at Chicago. That will suit Wall street, and Roosevelt is Wall street’s second choice. Then .f Wall street shall succeed in defeat- Wilson for the Demo- there is faction on the mg Woodrow cratic nomination at Baltimore we will see the conditions of 1904 re- peated. T is what Wall street wants and that is what Wall street will get if the Democratic party is fool enouzii to agree to it and weak enough to lay down," This is exactly what The Journal has heretofore said, except that we were not able to put the statement into as expressive and conclusive English as has the noted Washington writer, The effort to defeat Woodrow Wil- son has no other aim than to secure the nomination of Judson Harmon or some other reactionary candidate of Judge Parker type. The same inter- ests that engineered the Parker nom- ination in 1904 are at work now to make the nomination of 1912, Harmon is the man these interests want. If not Harmon, then some other man of like tendencies. 3 The Underwood campaign in Flor- Ida is a subterfuge that has deceived no one. The endorsement of Under- wood by Florida and the election of an Underwood delegation from Flor- THE TEN DEMANDMENTS. 1. Don't lie. It wastes my time and yours. | am sure to catch you in the end, and that is the wrong end. 2, Watch your work, not the clock. A long day's work makes a long day short; and a short day's work makes my face long. 3. Give me more than | expect and I will give you more than you ex- pect. 1| can afford to increase my profits. 4. You owe s0 much to yourself you cannot afford to owe anybody else. Keep out of debt, or keep out of my shops. 5. Dishonesty is never an accident. Good men, like good women, never see temptation when they meet it. 6. Mind your own business and in time you'll have business of your own to mind. 7. Don't do anything here which hurts your self-respect. An employ» who is willing to steal for me is will- ing to steal from me. 8. It is none of my business what you do at night. But if dissipation affects what you do the next day, and vou do half as much as I demand, vou'll lasi half as long as you hoped. 9. Don't tell me what I'd’ like to hear, but tell me what 1 ought to hear. 1 don't want a valet for my vanity, but for my dollar. 10. Don’t kick if I kick. If you're worth while correcting you're worth while keeping. 1 don't waste time cutting specks out of rotten apples. —Ex. An international sporting and in- dustrial exhibition is to be held at Warsaw under the auspices of the Warsaw Society of Sport in May and June next, opening on May 7.

Booth for prosecuting the work of the Salvation Army in Am- sterdam. The queen is very much interested in the work of the army, as she is in everything that may be for the good of her people.

If all of the circumstances in con- nection with the frame-up were not! sufficient to demonstrate this, the evi- dence of Eugene Matthews, one of the Harmon leaders in this State, who recently made a visit to Wash- ington and came back an Underwood leader, ought to prove conclusive, In his paper, the Starke Telegraph, Mi. Matthews says: “Persons who want to see either Harmon or Underwood will be safe in voting for the follow ing candidates for delegates to the national convention: From State at large, vote for six, A.

Gov. Aycock of North Carolina made a trip to his old home in Golds- boro and in the course of the visit ran across an old negro, Calvin Bock, who had educated himself, learning kis letters from an alphabet carpen- ter, and had also acquired consider- able possessions by his industry and prudence, *I's mighty glad to see you, Mr. Aycock,” he said. *“And mighty glad,” he laughed the darky's contaglous chuckle. *“As fer me,” he continued, “you know I couldn’t af- ford to be guv'nor.” “Why not, Calvin?" “Cause you see, sir, 1 gits more fer my strawberries than North Cal- liny pays the guv-nor for a whole year's work."” The vicinity of Brooksville is a scene of great activity at present.
