For people who believe in effi- i elency in the administration of our ; laws to the end that we may have i less crime and crookedness in this * eountry and more obedience to law | that was a highly conforting dis. i patch from Chicago a day or two 4 ago to the effect that the American | Judicature Suciety had opened head- quarters in that city and Dbegun work toward obtaining laws to im- prove the courts and their adminis. tration of justice. This soclety 18 a big thing, engl- E neered by big men and it is nation. wide in its purposes. It has years ) of hard work before it and it must E work persistently upon every Leg- fslature in the Union to achieve the ] reform it has in view. Every intel. I ligent man in the United States - knows that our courts are largely 1 {neffective and he wonders why, seeing that he and all other citizens are heavily taxed to provide the ma- chinery and have experts to rum it A as it should be. We are getting very poor results for high.priced labor i and machinery, and it is to discover L the defects and provide a remedy 4 that these eminent jurists in Chi- ‘ cago have organized thelr soclety. The secretary of the society states the purpose clearly as follows: 3 now the leading non.partisan ques- tion before the nation. tain that before long there will be many attempts on the part of Leg- islatures to improve the conditions. Up to this time a scientific analysis of the defects and a broad recon- structive program have been almost wholly lacking. It is to fill this need that the American Judicature Boclety has been formed. We first will make thorough study of courts and procedure upon a.comparative basis and then project acts looking toward improvements. We. aim to i present to the country model judi. i cla] establishments upon a scientifie i basis and permit of the administra- i tlon of justice in the modern spirit i of efficlency.” (R N In looking around for something to tax to raise the needed revenues The Evening Telegram! “This matter of court reform is It 18 cer- I THB EVENING THLEORAM, LAK ELAND, FLA., AUG. 2, 1918, that our friend Hetherington is reaping a little of the reward h? has so justly earmed. Those most excellent papers, the News and the Telegram, are to be issued from a three-story brick all their own. It is men like Hetherington who have made Florida the greatest State in the ‘Union, and he is entitled to a printing office building ten storics high and a private dwelling in the middle of a forty-acre lot.” —0 There may be nothing in the *“13” superstition, but there’'s more war, murder, crime of all sorts and gen- eral devilment raging over a wider area of the world’s surface right now in 1913 than during any one year for a long time past. And as though the peace of the world were not sufficiently Aisturbed with the Balkan, Mexican and Chinese throat cuttings in progress, that lit. tle rascal, Castro, must needs start up another revolution in Venezuela to deluge that country in blood to promote his personal ambitions. (e ¢ Now that the weight of parcel post packages is to be materially in- creased it would seem to make for the benefit of the small merchant in l competition with the big depart. ment store. As the Bradentown Journal says: ‘‘Perhaps the country stores, under the government guar- antee of the same rates as depart. ment stores, will wake up and get into the package shipping business themselves. " —Qe— The editor of the Ocala Star has put the picture of that good-looking young woman in ‘“the altogether” called “September Morn” right over | the desk where he writes and thinks he squares himself with his readers when he says in the original Greek, “Houi soit qui mal of peuse.” Scan. dalous! Scandalous! And yet right across the way in the same town Bro, Harris, of the Ocala Banner says the world is getting better ev- ery day. e s With England, Russia and Ger- many all declining to take part in the San Francisco exposition that big show is threatened with a seri- ous slump as a drawing attraction. What's the matter with those na- tions, anyway? Are they too hard up to participate, or are they play- ing for advantages in the Panama canal tolls? —_—)— Manager Jones, of the Florida Cit- ]’r\ls Exchange, who ought to know, because he makes it his business to ! find out about such things, says that | the present indications are for a | record breaking orange and grape- i truit crop in Florida this year. This {18 in strong and pleasan® contrast with the estimate current in some quarters that a half crop is the best we can hope for. A Sl AL Congratulations to the Lakeland Telegram. Editor Hetherington de- servcs the measure of success that is coming to him. To his talented and loving wife much of his success is due.—Fort Meade Leader. Not a doubt of it and he's glad to admit it. S ——— : CHCHOROBCRORCRONBORRCH W QAR uua AUGUST 2 IN HISTORY. the late Legislature bethought it.|© self of the moving picture shows, i the most popular form of amuse- ment the American people have ever known, and promptly put an occu. Pation tax upon them which is al- most prohibitive in many of the smaller towns and cities. The Live Oak Democrat denounces this tax roundly and {is probably correct when it says: “Moving picture shows, where lit tle children are permitted to go without much cost to parents, will likely go out of business, as there are but few of them in the business outside of the larzer cities that can stand a tax of $300 per annum. i The one in Live Oak may continue £ to run, but it will be under an in. . creased admicsion fee, and after all _ the public pays the freizht.” —o0 At last we have something that looks defliite and interesting in the matter of ths approaching senator- fal contast in this State. Editor Jor. dan, of the Punta Gorda Herald, is perhaps closer to former Governor Gilchrist than any other man, and it the latter had any news to give out on the subjéct he would almost . certainly give it first to his inti- mate friend and fellow townsman, the oditor of the Herald. In the last Isene of that paper there is an s#ditorial paragraph about the mat. jor ending with the significant s'atement that the editor believes tha ex-zovernor will be a candidate. ‘_ Albert W. is always interesting, and immmm- sleeplessness, and as a senatorial candidate he will be “T0NRC CROBORORCHOHORCROIONCRC ORRINE KNI 1802—Bonaparte declared consul of: France for life, 1804—War declared be.ween Eng. land and the Mrnrrata ruler (India), Jesewunt Row Hol- kar. 1815—+Convention between the rep. resertilives of Great Bri- tain, Prussia, Austria, and Russia who declared Bona. parte to be the pr'soncr of the allies entrusted his cus- tody especially to Great Britain, 1870—Franco.German war; the French cross the frontier end take the heizhts above Saar- bruck; Empercr Napoleon III, and the Prince Imperial being present. 1894—The trial of Caserlo Santo, slayer of President Carnot, of the Republic of France, commenced in Lyons. 1911—President Simons, of Haiti, I fled from Port au.Prince to | a government cruiser. 1912—Roosevelt published denunci- aticn of Republicors at Chi. cago who renominated Pres- {dent Taft.

It is some like martial happyness as the sayin is. They is men which they was settin on a cloud baak with a angel would let there eyes wonder off in sarch of somebody else to talle to.

They ain’t lonkin around. for somethin better, they are jest lookin for something Aiffrent to what they have got. The ginerel drift of my remarks is proved by the fack that I have spoke on this subjeck to promment merchants of this town and they all have had numerous experyence of peeple comin over here from Tamps to by things beause they are cheeper they say. With some of our folkes going te Tampa to by and some from Tam- pa comein over here to by it shows they is a screw loose somewheres an I think it is nothin but some peeple’s dispositions which makes them love to rove in far off pasters. What the merchants of this town has got to do is to do the best they an up to date, then if some folkes go'to Tahipa-to by or somewherer without, good reesen, we had mno ought to shed any teers over them.

Chap- | COUNTY STEAM SHOVEL DOING GOOD ROAD WOBK The Telegram recently called at- tention to the new traction engine and steam shovel now owned by the .| county and the good work it was do. ing in preliminary road building and repairing in uncovering a de- posit of road material between Bar. tow and Homeland to be used in Lard-surfacing the roads. The Mul- berry Herald of yesterday gives gome additional details on the sub- Joct: ¢ “It will be two or three weeks .before the shovel has a sufficient amount uncovered to ' begin ship- ping. This material will be loaded into - cars with the shovel and shipped to Haskel, Pauway,vl"ridgdz;‘r; and Lakeland, as the road advances to these points. The traction en- gine will be used to convey it from the cars to the roads:’" The board bas purchased six éars with the traction engine having a capacity of three and one-half yards to the car. The machine is now operating from a pit located about one-half mile from the road that is being built, and is taking these six cars at a trip, making four trips a day, a distance of about two miles, mak. lfl‘ a total of eighty-four cubic yards, equaling the labor of twenty- one good muls teams. ““The cost of operating this en. | gine for fuel and labor is $15 per day. ' The cost to put eghty.four yards-on the road with teams at §4 | per day would be $84. The differ. enge in favor of the traction engine that the work can be done much is $69. It can be seen from this faster and cheaper by the use of the engine. It is true that the machine will not be able to take such loads through some of the worst sand beds in the county without first put- ting a light coating of some material on but it often pays to do that when teams are being used. A great many miles of the roads of this country run parallel with or lie near to the railroads, and material ehipped along the different stations and sid- ings that the railroad companies can be persuaded to put in, can be han. dled with this tractor at a great saving to the county. . “It was remarked the other day by a traveling man that Polk coun- ty is making greater progress in road building and in a more scien- tific constructon than any of the ‘southern counties. This should be gratifying to the board of county commissioners who have worked with untiring energy, and some. timees with the severest criticism by unthinkng people.” TODAY’S BIRTHDAY HONORS Hon.
