A COMMON SENSE VIEW | OF THE SUBJECT. There are still no signs on the ) at wides saster | _korizon of that widespread di | anqd defamers are concerned about to the business interests of the coun- try confidently predicted by disgrun- tled Republicans because the Amer- ican people returned the Democratic party to power. The indications are ail the other way. We watch close- 1y the big papers that are big enough to note the indications in the great | commercial and industrial centers and print them regardless of party considerations, and we can’t find in one of them a hint of the hgx{i times due to settle down upon our un- Lappy country as a result of the mis- guided judgment of the American people last November. Down here in Florida there is some little' agitation over an expect- ed revision of the citrus fruit tariff, ac is always the case when any spe- cial interest comes under the eye of tariff reform; but it is sure as the rising of the sun that our great or- ange and grapefruit interests will reither die nor wither from any- thing that a Democrat Congress does to them and will go rightyalong de- veloping indefinitely. But it is all right to kick, for that is part of the game, As for the general business inter- ests of the country, read this from the \Cincinnati Enquirer, which is wisdom, truth and common sense boiled down and will convince you if only you look at the subject wita an open mind—the only way to get the truth on any question: [‘All attempts fo create alarm among business men through re- ports of injurious action by the in- coming administration fall flat, be- cau the country has grown dear to’ the constant cries of ‘‘Woli! Wolf!"” when the Democratic party assumes power. Two years of a Dem- of Ih-px:es;cnt:ltives have brought no disaster to the country, and the recent discussion of tariff changes by the cor of ways and means has alarmed ‘the bus the people as did the circumstances the sttending the preparation’ of Payne-Aldrich meagure. “There is no evidence that it 1 nittee neither interests nor created as”much distifrbance among ing the population. of this country eyery year, People who have intel- ligence enough to read the news col- umns in the papers and see the la- mentable results, 80 often told there, particular form of idiocy, are thas broken of the habit if they ever had it; but if the facts could be ascertained it would doubtless be | discovered that thege gun-pointing yaps never read the ilwr nor in- dulge in any othep habit that calls for the use of gray matter to any extent worth mentloning. In a case of this kind, a8 in ‘many others, pub- Licity is the remedy, but how are you going to apply it to a class that nev- er reads nor gets the news of the world exéept by the primitive and ineffective method of word-of- mouth gossip? = It might be very | cruel and unusual punishident to condemn them to read, but it would be the best way to civilize the ya- Loos who go about playfully point- ing loaded #ind empty guns at other people.\ Ok i The Bustis Lake Region wants to know if we meant ‘Hades” when we suid that Florida would be here all right when her present-d/ay eritics the society, climate and resources of another country altogether. We i wouldn't put it that strong, but per- haps an incident in the life of Mark Twain might be apropos: Somebody !seut Mark a manuscript story for his perusal, Instead of sending it -unrolled g0 that it could be opened ‘and read with easé, the sender rolled it tightly .with its envelope | pasted securely around it, making if difficult to open and almost impossi- ble to be kept open while the ex- asperated humorist attempted to read it. He sent it back to the writ- er with the brief comment: ‘“‘The man who rolls his manuscript ought to go to hell—and will.” i —_— O We have labored in vain with Editor Straub of the St. Petersburg Times to cure him of his unreason- ing hostility to our noble Florida guava. He can’t get by the smell, a mere nothing in itself, which ehould deter no man in his guest | for the good things of earth. To !our serious and eloquent and chaste | and scholarly appeal he retorts with flippant inconsequence: : “To REditor Hetherington, our most distinguished consideration, and the assurance that we are un- afraid. But we do not care to flout nature, 'and if she has taken such an extreme measure to guard the guava | i from us to disturb the critter. And a: to “fleeting!’” It has been fifteen years, and we can smell—and taste ~—that first guava yet.” 0* N With no desire to make invidious comparisons, but rather wWith the purpose to help arouse public senti- ment in our beautiful South Florida city of Orlando on the subject, we|* expregs genuine surprise that that city is doing nothing toward secur “ing a system of sewage. No modern community, large or small, can pos- i 8ibly be up to date without it. Get * t11. the Lakeland class!
