O’HERN SAYS HE'S DONE WITH TREMONT MATTER Lakeland, Fla., Aug. 16, 1913. To the citizens who signed a pe- tition which I recently ecirculated, protesting against the proposed re- moval of the Tremont House from its present location to another loca- tion within the same block, I take this method of saying that I have and shall, from this date, withdraw all objection to the proposed re- moval. The principal reason which prompts me in this decislon is the fact that quite a number of gentle- men, all of whom will know whom I mean when they read this article, were very solicitous and urgent In their requests upon me to circulate said petition, and all of whom guar- anteed me thelr support; last night when the Council was to have met, [ went to the Council chamber, ex- pecting to find every member of the Council present, together with at least a dozen or two of the gentle- men who had urged this upon me but instead of this I found one lone citizen, and not a quorum of the Council. In as an important a mat- thr as this, if the Council and cith zens who pledged me their support do not take sufficlent interest in it to at least make their appearance I do not see that it is incumbent upon me to waete any further enerzy.

A MOTHER ADVOCATES WHOLESOME PICTURE PLAYS I don't blame you, Mr. Editorial Writer, for rising in arms about this moving plcture business. There Is no doubt that the pictures do have great influence over the minds of people, and we certainly do not wan$ any fake impressions to gct abroad about this falr State of ours, ale though we do think it would be bet- ter for the future peace of mind of prospective homeseckers if they could kno - the undesirable with the desirable. But this editorial start- ed another train of thought in our mind. If those false plctures can so hurt the State, how much greater i8 the hurt to the minds of our young people and children when they see plctures showing men and women false to their home tles, and see scenes enacted which no right-mind~ ed father or mother would want & child to witness or be a party to In real life. If a law must be passed making It punishable to smirch the falr name of a State, how much greater the necessity of passing stricter laws to protect the pure minds of our children. Those in the business will tell you the “public de- mands it.” It is hard to believe that the majority of the people wang this class of entertainment, when there are so many pictures which are entertaining, elevating and ine structive and others which are cleane ly comic, at which one can take & good, hearty laugh without feeling a desire to hide behind a fan. The | law makers In this case will necese sarily be the fathers and mothersy you who still have control enough over your children to know where they are at night, and whko go with them to the picture shows. Do youw remamber the old slates we use to use? How sometimes they became so coated over you could hardly see the pencil marks when you tried to “do your sums?” Let us be careful that the minds of our children do not get in this condition when the bettee things of life will make no impres- sfon on ticm, A MOTHER.
