Don't you think if you were ap- proached by a man attempting to in- fluence ycu, you'd swat him a good bifft and say nothing about it—pro-! -viding you didn't care to accept thel dribe? —_— Now that it has passed the House, does anybedy know exactly what the acid test bill means? The speaker of ghe House that passed the bill said he didn’t understand it, and it would seem that it is liable to bring on; more fricton and litigation among elitrus fruit people. Let us hope that 1 the bill becomes a law, it will not soquire the court to interpret it as it mey relate to every shipment of fruit, and that it will prove really ef- fective in the prcvention of the ship- nent of immature fruit. S Conditions cxlsting now, as we en- ter upon the summer months, this year, call focr more than usual vigi- lance from a sanitary standpoint, and pctivity along this line on the part of the individual as well as the city authorities. The upturning of earta incident to the public improvements under way is liable to produce condi- tlons favorable to sickness. Thes? eonditions shoulG te neutralized as far as possible by extra care and werk in the way of sanitation, Let us apply the ounce of protection now and avoid the necessity for the pound of cure, —0 To those very few people who think one scheel building enough for Lakeland, we may cite the exampla of St. Petersburz, which is now bonding for the purnose of ouilding three additional school houses. It {s bad policy in many ways to herd hundreds of chilcren together in one| school. Lakeland has far outgrown the ideas of some people, who have Jived here many years, but who do not realize that they are not stllll Jving in a village. Sl i We are quite sare that Polk coun- ty's dclegation did nobly at Talla- hassce. The people of all other coun- ties in the State Lo'd 2 similar opin- tion as to the records of their respec- tive representatives. So we must eonclude that if *here was anything Jeft undone that sheuld have been done, or if there was anything done that should not have been Acne, it was the fault of the Legislature as 1 whole, and not chargeable to any individual member. Ergo, collective- 1; we give 'em fits, but individually we hail 'em each as a gentleman and @ scholar. —_— This paper in a general way ap- proves of child labor legislation—al! of it that is needed to protect the ehild from being overworked, or ba- eoming the victim of the greed of employers. But it really sees no meed for the law om this subject which has just been enacted by the Florida Legislature. The law doubt- lees, was all right to meet conditions In the factory districts of Massachu- setts, from which State it is said the Figrida measyre washorrowed; t, honestly, does anybody: know of & case in this part of.ihe-ecuntsy interference, a piece of folly, and certainly not beneficial to the boy. —_————0 CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR WORK. The region around Lakeland is in reed of active fiel dwork for our or- ganization. It is like the Bible de- scription, “The harvest is great but the laborers few,” that is few who will or can go out to find places to start societies and then do it. Did you ever think in reading the papers sometimes with their com- munications concerning wrongs to be righted, especially those of a moral kind, what a good thing it would be if all such people knew where to stop off, and thus not show so glar- ingly that prejudice can creep int» even th best of motives for advice, i love is not the controlling fea- ture of the writer’s daily life? The Ocala Star recently paid af- fectionate tribute to the memory of Editor C. L. Bittinger, who departel from this life into a far more beau- tiful one, May 31, 1912, It has been said by those who know the Star well that the impress of charitable feeling toward those *“lower down” {5 the lasting influence of Mr. Bit- tenger's life and editorial work. We are glad that the Frst Congre- gational church of Tampa is again prospering. The new pastor, Dr. Greenwood, and wife, hope to start Christian Endeavor work as soon as possible. It was Mrs. Grecnwood who presented the Cuban work in the Young People's Missionary Confer- ence held in Leesburg, at the Win- ter Bible school, this spring. Something very sad in Stuart was the sudden death of Ed Henderson, an active member of the union so- ciety, Acting as constable he was short in the discharge of his duty only living a few hours longer. “The Christian Endeavor hall was beau- Great Britain's ambassador to the United States and the members of the embassy staff are here seen in the ilately losing dear ones now dress in' white, with scarcely any somber, tones in dress or behavior. : A letter in yesterday said: “Our pastor takes great interest in this’ department of the church work.” <lsj not this good news? { Surely all of us should rejoice in the good fortune of Miss Minnie E. Neal, State leader of the W. C. T. U,, who sailed for Europe a few days ago. Papers telling of hr good works thus far in life have been kind enough to give C. E. a share. Miss Neal who was chosen one of twenty ambassadors of the Woman's Republic of America to represent this country, Besides the special event- attendance at the International Con- gress at Budapest, the party will par- ticipate in the world’s Sunday school convention at Zurich and the world’s exposition in Ghent. The itinerary covers about two months and we truly hope every moment will be filled with delight to the faithful su- perintendent of temperance work, Miss Neal. The Junior society of the Pres- byterian church in Eustis, during a farewell social given in homor of their suprintendent, Mr. C. H. New- ell, and Mrs. Newell, surprised them with the gift of a beautiful pair of silver napkin rngs. The presentation by one of the members was in sim- ple but eloquent words, showing the love felt for Mr. Newell, who is re- moving from Eustis for a new hom= and church life. Both Mr. and Mrs. Newell will be greatly missed in the Presbyterian church and other goodl movemnts of Eustis, The complete information bulle- tin concerning the Los Angeles con-l vention has been sent in genercus quantity to Florida and a circular letter to accompany copies of this bulletin, ete.,, is to be mailed each society in the C.
