We are sorry to disappoint certain Lakeland enthusiasts, bui up to the hour of going to press Oscar Under- wood had not been nominated as the party’'s presidential candidate, An casy victory is now in the grasp of the Democratic party. It rests with the leaders during the next two or three days as to whether the best chance Democracy has had for many years will be thrown down. o e iy That Florida postmaster who wrot: to Atlanta to secure a wite, is a shin- ing example of the citizen who does not believe in patronizing home in- dustry. Why didn’t he send to Sears- Roebuck, as many of his ilk do for their other needs? Members-clect to the Florida Leg- islature may gain comfort and en- couragement from the fact that out in New Mexico a sixty-day session of the Legislatutre has just ad- journed and some of the members have returned to their homes, paid off their mortgage and bought auto- mobiles. The Orlando Reporter-Star says it has the right man for governor of Florida up there in Orange county, and will trot him out when the peo- ple get ready to name Park Tram- mell's successor. Well, if it's Brax- ton Beacham, we'll feel very much like going in and mussing up a collar in his behalf. \We believe he would make the State a splendid governor, and, having gotten before the people in the race for congressman-at-large, he would make a strong candidate. Oh, no, we're not much slower than some people.

O ne will tell you that it does mot make any difference how hard he works, “the boss”’ does not seem to realize it or take any notice of it. He may go on to tell you how valuable he has been to the firm and that, as his e! forts were not rewarded, he has come to the conclusion that a fellow is just as well off not to make such efforts, and all of that. 1 keep their tempers above .

MILTON'S VIEWS ON SCHOOL BUILDING QUESTION. Mr. Editor, Lakeland News: Please find room in your highly appreciated paper for a few thoughts from an cld citizen in regard to the school matter. | see the school board is in fuvor of adding more room to the present school building. 1 am op- posed to this. It puts too many chil- dren together; they don’t do well, It is like putting a large flock of chick- ens together in a small place; they take the sore head or the roup o gout or something and don't do well at all. Three or tfour hundred chil- dren is cnough together at one school, and as not being able to ge o site south of the railroad 1 see two propositions for sites, one is Mrs. MclLeod’s and the other is Mr. J. W. Scally's; either sitoe would make a splendid location for a school house. 1 think it nothing but fair and proper to divide the school. We not only need one in south Lakeland but we need one in east Lakeland as well. They apologized and examined The chances are one hun- | your tickets. They directed you where to enter. There were enough policemen, and little he is|they kept the crowd back, so there As a general proposition this | was no jostle within the sacred pre- cinets. At the doors you were again carefully looked over. - Persons with a smel] of liquor on them or a suspicion of firearms never reached the doors at all. If they had tickets the pasteboards were politely declared irregular or counterfeit, | saw two men from ‘“‘the pro- vinces” who were needlessly conver- sational, walking arm in arm. These men were gently, but firmly, turned back after the policeman had called the captain. The men had tickets, all right, but the holders were in a condition where they might make a needless amount of noise; and the noise of this convention must be har- ronious. That is to say, there must be no shouting off color. The vibra- tion must be inspired by political en- thusiasm not by mere vulgar booze. and The policemen had no clubs in sight. They wore white gloves, Their t shoes were shined. They were clean They not shaven, brushed and groomed. were picked men, not too old, absurdly young. And so the throng passed quietly into the real building, and at every aisle were more policemen. Then there were “lady policemen,” who asked the ladies to remove their hats and be careful about their hat- 1 know of a good many children in|PIPS: cast Lakeland that did school at all last term on ac not go to rot having room and having to travel | There was not a poor man In sigh the railroad or going way around to get to the school house, What say you, Mr. Editor, and school board, wouldn't it be nice to have three schools in Lakeland in- stead of one? | hope the matter wil be looked into and something be done at once.

It was a throng of which the Re- count of publican party might well be proud. t— Every- fed, certainly not a poor devil, tody was well dressed, well 1 shined, manicured. The proletariat, the sans culotte, the plebeian, the agrarian, were not 1 in evidence. Tickets were worth $40 apiece. It was a grand opera crowd. If there was any one with elbows slightly shiny they were in the space set apart for delegates, not among the visitors. The day was perfect. The sky was Blue, and a cool, refreshing breezs came in from the lake.

WHAT 1S OLD AGE!? Age is but comparative. 1 well can recall when it appealed to me that should 1 ever attain to the ripeness of 10, and stand as mature as my swaggering brother, who had donned long trousers, then would I be at all desirable dignity, according to Lip- pincott's Magazine. How must it seem to be 10—with a roundly ut- tered, manly “darn” with long trou- sers and a nickle in the pocket! At 10 did that prove to be only a foothill, with maturity, and all the appurtenances thereto still beyond; and 20 beckoned abead, from the pin- nacle of manhood. Aye, to be 20; to zo to bed when one chose. to throw a baseball swift as a rifle bul- Jet, and to wait upon the young la- dies! At 20 would I be old—~und sometimes | wondered how it would feel, Bt at 20, 40 was an ultimate goal where life would have been lived and spent, and the backward look could cut-distance the torward.

Col. J. \W. McCulloch, of Owens- boro, Ky., arrived in Chicago yester- day afternoon, supplied with two things. One was a vote in the con- vention for President Taft and the other—far more important from the standpoint of convention delegates— was a new Kentucky drink. Col. McCulloch displayed his dis- covery in the drink line within five minutes after coming to the city. He went to the Pompeian room of the Congress hotel, called a select few friends about him and summoned a waiter. “I'll have a Kentucky kiss,” the delegate when the around to him. “Why-—er—1I'm afraid we serve it. 1 never heard of it,” the waiter. “Of never did,” said the Colonel. “You never did because I've just invented it “Just put a finger of brandy in the hottom of the glass, then a dagh of bittors said waiter got don't said course you Stew ......
