Hanging Jack Johnson in effigy as the Chicago mob did is not the prop- er way to hang him at all, at all. iR s Woodrow Wilson is making his further public speaking in the cam- paign contingent upon Mr, Rcose- velt’s action. If the latter resumes his Bull Moose narrative where he left off, the Demoeratic candidate will open up azain. That being the cage, we don'y hesitate to hand Ted- | dy the tip to remain silent unless he wants to the majority. increase Democratic l The Miami Herald says thay “pis- tel-toting is an American habit that + fast becoming a national dis- l;;uwo." Long ago it exceeded the !speed limit, passed the formative stage of its evil career and is now | 2ctually a national disgrace. And !yet the overwhelming majority of our citizens do not carry pistols. The sins of a small minority involve us «ll In a common disgrace. —————— { Pretty nearly the entire press of | Florida is now praising that St. Pe- | tersburg policeman who took the initiative in stopping the abuse of horses and mules by overwork and other forms of cruelty on the streets of ‘that ‘¢ity. And we don’t hesitate to say to all policemen everywhere that the best way to make good peo- ple love you and honor you and re- spect you and vote for you when they get a chance is to follow the example of that St. Petersburg of- ficer. In criticising poetry, Editor Heth- erington of the Lakeland Telegram | He should employ Jeff Brown’s more clegant ‘‘cxecrable.”—Punta Gorda Herald. The word we used was plain, clean, permissible English for something that shoulq be condemned, and that was the way we felg about tixat par- ticular piece of poetry, considered as ia work of art. But in the intercst of Jeff Brown elegance the oftending word is hereby withdrawn and ‘‘ex- ecrable”” substituted. What was it Galilleg said, sotto voce, when they forced him to recant? A Chicago judge with more than the ordinary amount of gray matter in the convolutions of his brain, has society on the crime problem and urging the creation of a burcau to study scientifically the criminals brought into court. The Chicago | Record-Herald gives this illustration to enforce the judicial suggestion: “Society must deal with the crim- inal as able engineers deal with ev- ery case of the failure of a bridge—- it should study the wreck as a les- scn and a warning. The criminal is partly born and partly made by so- ciety and himself.” The Tampa Tribune must nog in- fer from a recent paragraph in this paper that the Telegram is in op- position to State Senator Stringer’s | plan of a bond issue of $50,000,000 | should not use the word *“damnable.” | heen talking to the Chicago Medical | TH EVENING TELEGKAM, LAK}1.'ND, FLA, OCT. 25, 1912, (0 build a network of brick highways cver the State. A proposition of suich magnitude must be discussed from every angle before it is finally put to the people for decision, and we apprehend that it will be some years yet before there will be a popular vote on that issue. We be- lieve in the principle of raising large sums of money for the public benefit by the bonding process and we realize the enormous advantage that would inure to the whole State by such a system of roads as is con- templated by the Stringer plan, hence this paper i3 not to be ronsid- ered as hostile to that plan. But im- posing an indebtadness of. $50,000,~ 000 upon the taxpayers is not a prop- osition to be hastily approved, and for the present at least we shall keep an open mind on the subject and follow Senator Stringer's - further elaboration of his plan with the greatest interest. ——— e WHERE MR. ROGERS MADE A BIG MISTAKE. H. H. Rogers of Standard Oil fame left his money to his family and ho left to the world the following bit | of good advice worth more than his money if properly acted on: ! “The man who has succeeded and made money is the man who has had confidence in this country and has shown his faith by his works. Ev- ery year of its growth produces greater opportunities, and each part of the country has about as many ! opportunities as another.” This is excellent except as to the last proposition and there Mr. Rogers was wide of the mark. No part of this country today offers as many op- portunities to the man of plenty ol energy, average intelligence anli moderate capital as Florida. Nature has provided a climate, soil and di- i 1 | I ! ug first place in the procession when it comes to opportunities, and more {and more are the people elscwhere getting wise to this fact and heading 'this way. California has had her day as the land of opportunity for the man of moderate means ' ida's is just beginning. Skl ! Mrs. Percollum-—- 1 know I'm your | inspiration, all rizht, Pereival.

Major General E. M. Law, editor Bartow Courier-Informant, of the and one of the most famous living Confederate warriors, Wwill shortly begin writing memoirs of the dark and bloody days of the sixties, which will be replete with interesting his- tory of the great struggle and inci- dents of life. That these memoirs will be in great demand throughout the country is certain, as General Law was not only a leader in many of the big battles, but is a orilliant writer and student of history. General Law is one of the three living major generals of the Confed- erate army, the others being Gen- eral Lomax and Gen. Custis Lee, and he saw more service than either: of these soldiers, He is the highest ranking officer living on either side in the battles of Gettysburg and Chickamaugua, and his name i3 prominently mentioned in a large number of memorable struggles. He was one of the most daring cavalry made $40,000,000 before he died. He offivors of the service, which doubt- less hoasted of a larger number of cavalry marvels than even the arnies of Napoleon. | teneral Law seldom refers to his !pan in the great drama, but he de- lights in reminiscences of the old days. [n talking with a Metropolis reporter yesterday he referred to his meeting with Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, an aged major general of the Union army, at one of the recent meetings of the Gettysburg park commission. “In the charge on ‘Little Round Top,’ " said General Law, I led a di- vision against General Sickles and carried the point. General Sickles wus so badly wounded in attempt- ing to repulse that charge that one of his legs had to be amputated. I {met him forty-seven years after- ward on the Gettysburg field and recognized him from photographs | had seen. | introduced myself, and, i placing one arm around me, he gave me a cordial and loving greeting (that 1 will never forget. ‘How old lare you, General Law?' he asked. i Soventy-four,” [ replied. ‘Why, Hun'ru nothing but a boy—I'm "eighty-six,” wus his rejoinder.”" — Jacksonville Metropolis. “We're back azain, count; we've Fad » splendid day: we've been up | the mountain you know.” i “Ah, you English mothers, you are Procrastinate ™ALL and see the wonderful line ~ of Dress Goods weare show- "ing with all the' new Imported Trimmings to inatch, and you will be convinced that you can get what you want at prices that will suit you. @ Also the greatest showing of Ladies’ shoes in Lakeland. .
