Knight makes the interesting statement that within the past five years the various States of the Union and Congress combined have enacted twenty.seven tlhousand Jaws of & general nature as against less than five thousand passed by omz__nu- Mr. Knight protects vigorously and righteously against this deplor- Able’ state of affairs, but as these; faws Were passed by legislative _bodies, & large majority of whose members were lawyers, it seems that the sin of excessive legislation should be lald right at the door of the profession of which Mr. Knight s & shining light and distinguished ornament. It would seem to have almost the force of a corallary that the only way to get less legislation is to have fewer lawyery in our law.making bodies. Lawyers and law-making natural- 1y go together and the trained minds of the former are practically indis. pensable in shaping and correlating [vemnn ]eleuram'cflmo a few miles ont fr ’lonvllle, the Metropolis of #8.00 ] of rural police could. Moved by a peculiarly barbarous Jack- at city calls for the creation of a mounted yural ‘police force as the onig way to quickly run down and app hend he criminals prowling through the country districts. The scheme has been agitated be- fore and it looks attractive, but it is not likely to be adopted. An alert sheriff can mount himself and his deputies and go after criminals in the country districts about as quick- ly and effectively as a separate body The latter would be idle most of the time and the added expense would breed nu- merous kickers among the tax.|. payers, —— The Pensacola Journal joins the rest of the State press in congratu- lations to the Telegram on its new home soon to be comsiructed and kindly says: “Tha Lakeland Telegram will put up a three story building in the near future.

You see the Minnesota folks take very kindly to Lakeland—those who have been here, particularly. A friend of Mrs. Thurston writes her, “The Hills are going gack the first of October. Wish we Were going with them. I noticed by last night's Free Press that Mr. Straw is going back to Lakeland in August. Mr. Hills sald Mr. Adsit had bought 1aad there, and they bad bought a nice flve.acre farm in town, Sald that Mr. Adsit had done well and got a good farm. Mr. Hills likes Florida, and psays he wishes he were there now."” The Hills are cousins of Mr. Wil- lard, who told him before leaving Minnesota last fall that they had finally concluded to go to Lakeland instead of to California, but that stagnation and decay would soon | they would not buy there.

This is mighty plain talk from the Sun on'the subject: “Some of the Florida editors are scoring the last Legislature for plac- ing an exorbitant license tax on moving ‘picture shows, They will find many other items in this latest revenue bill to complain of when they read it.
