St. Petersburg contractors have plenty of work for unskilled labor at good wages but can’t get the labor. Meanwhile large numbers of idle ne- groes loaf about the street, refusing to work, and living no one knows how, as they have no legitimate source of income. A sharp, decisive euforcement of the vagrancy law, with no sentiment or ‘‘ethics” in the enforcement, ought to remedy the situation. et Referring to his proposed deporta- tion. if he landed on our shores, Castro exclaimed, “It is inconceiv- able that your nation should thus fnsult me.” But he promptly passed into a conceivable state of mind when the cops grabbed him on Ellis fsland. Castro is one of those South American “patriots” who justify Dr. Samuel Johnson's definition of pa- triotism as the last refuge of a scoundrel. R S i Dairying is an immense and prof- itable industry at the North and the great dairy systems up in th_qgg States are indispcnsable factors in living conditions there. But here in Florida this particular industry is yet in its infancy and while a start has been made, it is as yet a prom- ising field, for the most part unde- veloped. The Jacksonville Metrop- olis is entirely right when it says: “There is good money for any man with a modern dairy near any city of size in this State; for with milk selling, as now in this city, at 1215 to 15 cents the quart, there is no doubt of the net profit.” — e The Pensacola Journal reached us this morning pretty well soaked in lard. We lay it to the parcels post shipping the latter article to some customer by mail and an unintended contact between the newspaper and the lard in the mail car. There will te much comedy for the disinterest- ed observer and much tragedy for the postmasters and their assistants in this parcels post business belora! order comes out of confusion and lard and things are made to keep their distance from the Pensacola Journal and other high class pro- ducts intended to feed the mind in- stead of the stomach. RSN RO The way the crooks, con men,. purge snatchers and holdups are prospering in Jacksonville and rav- aging the innocents, especiaily in and around the Union depot, indi- cates that some method to increase police efficiency in that city ought to be adopted without delay. And instead of the sign “Keep off the grass,” at all grass plots, “Keep your | hands on your pocketbooks” would be one more to the purpose. As the gateway to the peninsula of Florida, America’s greatest winter resort, | thronged with visitors and travelers * passing through at this season, Jack- / sonville ought to be the best po-! lictd city in the South. c— e A dispatch from Havana an- rounces on what scems to be almost the authority of the gentleman him- | self that Congressman Rucker, of Colorado, mow visiting that city, will be minister to Cuba under the Wilson administration. We feel sure that Mr. Wilson hasn’t said or intimated anything to this effect and he has probably given no; - energy-and ambition as his only cap- SR W | That is certainly a dazzling pro- ; | position made to the city of Ocala by ia philanthropic citizen to give it | fifty acres of land just outside the city limits to lLe converted into a nark.

A city, large or small, without a park, is painfully lneom-g plete, an organism from which an important member has been omit- ted. A city with plenty of parkage has an asset beyond all price. Our park here in the heart of Lakeland ic not large, but no money could buy it and civil war would result from any attempt to take it from us. i RPN Today a British battleship steamed into New York harbor bearing the mortal remaing of Whitelaw Reid, ! late ambassador to England, and a fleet of American battleships met the British vessel to aid in giving sig- nificance and impressiveness to the event. And next there will be a solemn and splendid pageant, a oreat funeral, with the president of the United States and other famous dignitaries present—and the grave will close over Whitclaw Reld with | the telegraph flashing the story of ! the event all over the world, And ! yet within the memory of many of us Mr. Reid was an obscpre young country editor in Ohio, with bralns.l ital. Truly ours is the land of op- portunity, but it is well enough to | remember that the mau who meets | the opportunity must he the “real | article” to make the meeting worth while. SRR t There are a good many of them . left yet, but they are a vanishing tribe, and even now they are 8o scarce as to no longer fit into exist- irg conditions and to be noteworthy, ' aimost picturesque, when they an-' pear at infrequent intervals in the' rush of modern life. They were ploneers, the products of conditions' which have passed away: they had the primitive virtues and the primi- tive failings, and, having filled their role in the long drama of civiliza- tion, when a belated one drifts back on the stage he is sure to attract at- tention. The Orlando Sentinel tells of such a case: “The old ‘prairie schooner’ has been re-habilitated, but instead of being “westward ho!" it is south- ward go. Monday a canvas covered wagon, drawn by a team of mules, and the second by a yoke of little | red steers passed throush Orlando. ,'rhe family cow trudged behind the lead wagon, while the traditional “valler” dog followed grudgingly in the rear. The peonle and their vis- ihle belongings bore evidence of pov- erty and disconragement. They haled from Jefferson county and were bound for the uttermost point of the Pteninsula of Florida.” R N— |aurme novsense NOV AND THFN Luke McLuke Says The trouble with this world is that there are too many weddings and too few marriages.
