THAT CONGRESSMAN WAS RIGHT The Cincinnati Congressman Bowdle made a speech | other night in on “What Is the Matter with Amer- | ica?” before one of the societies of that city. Among other things he said: “This generation needs and must bave an accented seuse of personal moral responsibility. \Without it our eivilization cannot long endure.” And when he said that Congress- man Bowdle laid his finger right on the chief trouble of our time and country, the chief cause of the moral decadence which we all like through the veins of our social and business life know is glealing poison !home and abused and belittled and | Floridian. up the warmly defends her, but in doing so —— himself passes insulting slurs upon some of the best blood of the State inet 4ing the “interior native Crack- en sections,” 1HE EVENING TELEGRAM, LAKFLAND, FLA, MARCH 18, 1913.

Governor Trammell makes out a strong case and presents it with force and clearness iu behalf of his recommendation for a law to pro- vide for the guarantee of bank de- posits in this State. The issue is a very ‘live” one and is a part of the progressive legislation for which the age is now ripe and which is not to be lightly dismissed by timid con- servatism as a mere modern fad. There is no reason in the nature of things why people should not have ubsolute security for the safekeep- ing of the money they deposit in bank. They are clearly entitled to it; and the measure recommended by Governor Trammell, already in suc- ccesful operation in several States, fs a practicable means to that end. ‘We belleve that such legislation will be universal within a time not far distant, and there is no reason why Florida should timidly wait to make herself the tail of the procession. Governor Trammell's recommenda- tion, published in yesterday's Tele- gram, goes sufficiently into details creet defenders to sneeringly or in Tampa Times speak of him of the lambs of disparagement.- his congregation, | who was a very popular young lady, "and it created quite a stir umnngl {the colored population.
