N0 IDLERS WANTED IN FLORIDA 'The Times-Union has an admir- able leading article combatting the dangerous delusion held by so many fn other parts of the country that because nature has been very gen- erous to Florida a man can live here without work or very little of it: As the Times.Union points out, the very fact that five or six crops can be grown here annually where only one crop can be grown in the States further north makes more work a uecessity here than in those States where, after garnering their one crop, they have three months of en- forced idleness, Of course the profits ere proportioned here to the in- creased number of crops. We want no immigrants to Florida who come %0 make idlers. Labor is the law of life here as elsewhere. The Times-Union concludes with these wise words: “Qo the main advantage of Flor- tda is not in tempting men to idle- ness but in lengthening the time during which they can work with profit. The man who understands this and acts on it intelligently will never be a knocker, for he will nev- er be a failure. He will see the bright side of Florida and live the 2 .

And yet as we voted for the sewer system and had it nearly completed months before Orlando voted for it, and provided for new school buildings as well, it would seem that as a matter of fact Or. faido was preparing fo- the Lake- land class when she voted her last bonds. But let it go as a distinc. tion with but little difference—a mere matter of a few months in time. Orlando is beautiful, progres- sive and up to date, a worthy sister to- Lakeland, and we are proud of e kInERip. """ D ~<' ol d ‘ . We note from an Alabama ex- change that Dr. Stagg, our popular Florida preacher, who recently left Orlando on a vacation, has found his way to his alfalfa farm out in west Alabama, near the little city of Gei- ger, and is writing in his charac- teristic style for the Geiger Times. The Montgomery Advertiser says he makes an ideal editor of a country weekly. Whatever the good doc- tor does, he does well, and we don’t doubt that the Gglger Times f{s among the best papers in Alabama on its editorial page while he writes it. He is an all-round man who can vary his “apostolic knocks and blows” with militant work in poli. tics, farming and other secular flelds, and he's good in all. PR, T — With gratuitous unkindness and conspicuous bad taste the St. Pe- tersburg Times characterizes the the State press as an available can- didate for governor, as ‘‘Slobber.” The unaffected sincerity of that praise has been one of its most ob- vious characteristics, and in a world full of envy, malice, jealousy and all uncharitableness it occurs to us that living conditions would be much improved if we had more of that kind of “slobber.= 0~ Governor Trammel ig out in Colo- rado Springs, Col, attending the conference of governors, including many from northern and western States, and will give the latter an bright side of life and if, in after]glegant opportunity to size up a years, he wishes to rest, he will be|«piorida Cracker” at the head of the able to rest without fear of want.” N D EVERY WOMAN IN AMERICA - SHOULD READ IT The Telegram reprints today from the pages of Collier’s Weekly a strik- ing article by Edward Bok, editor of the Ladies’ Home Journal, on the subject of the immodest style in women'’s clothes now prevailing in this country. The matter {8 one of national im- portance, for the unnatural rage among so many respectable women for adopting without a blush the shockingly immodest apparel of the professional prostitutes of Paris is cutting deep into the very founda- tions upon which our civilization rvests. It is destroying standards among our women held necessary for their safety no less than their modesty through all the centuries end substituting in their stead fashions in dressing which appeal directly and overwhelmingly to the basest passions of men. Mr. Bok's article shows where all this indecency originated, why it is imported to America, the respectable women of Paris refusing to counte- nance it; and his appeal to Amer- fcan womanhood to have none of the unclean thing and cast it out utter- Iy will make a deep impression wherever it is read. DT R Every lawyer—especially thoge we send to tue Legislature—is sup- posed to be a constitutional lawyer and to know when any bill intro- duced squares or conflicts with that sacred organic document. And yet during the last session of the Legis- lature in which lawyers were par. ticularly numerous and the atmos- Phere was saturated with legal lore one of the very important bills Passed, in which thousands of peo- ple in Florida have a direct personal fnterest, has been promptly declared pnconstitutional when put to the gest of judicial scrutiny. The Pen- sacola Journal says: “The Florida labor law, passed Oy the Legislature of 1913, making ft a misdemeanor to contract to per- form labur, secure money or other things of value and then fail to live up to the contract, was declared unconstitutional by Juige Monroe in the court of record yesterday, when Beall & Anderson appeared before the court representing Will Ander- oon, colored, of East Pass, who had been arrested for failure to live up to a contract entered into with par- gles of that place.” —_— The Orlando Citizen corrects us fn our recent statement that Or. fando was “preparing” to get in the Sakeland class in the matter of pav- fng with vitrified brick, sewerage, pte, and saystaat Orlando was long ';._. i b v commonwealth, and with the result probably that some of them will re- vise their estimates on the subject. Governor Trammell is not only a Florida Cracker, but he is a Lake- land Cracker, and that means “than whom there are none better.” PR, S — Tampa {8 growing and ought to be as it takes $115,615 more to pay the expenses of her city government this year than last. The budget this year calls for $754,956.68. This includes $40,645.68 interest on bonds. —_— State Senator Hudson, of Miami, thinks that he, too, would look well in Senator Fletcher's luxurious leather-backed chair in Washington, We are raliably informed that Sen- ator Fletcher differs from him on this pojat. o—— We see in the current issue of the Outlook that Colonel Theodore Roosevelt is still writing upon that inexhaustible theme—the part he took in the Spanish-American war. He asserts with amplitude and elab. oration that he was in the battle of San Juan Hill, a widespread popu- lar impression to the contrary, and he produces evidence to support his contention. Of course he was there and did the best he could—we have never thought otherwise—but he| surely ought to stop writing on the‘ subject, for as a San Juan Hill hero | he long ago squeezed himself dry. —0 That Alabama widow who fired through a knot hole in a door and killed a rural rowdy the other night endeavoring to force his way into her house, has some strong points in her favor as compared with the boasted red-haired widows of Texas. Apd sghe was probably re-headed, too. e A POLK COUNTY PARADISE Mrs. Jason Hunt, formerly of Jackson, Mich.,, now living at Crooked Lake in this county, writes to her mother back in Michigan & long letter published in the Jack- son Patriot of Sunday and from its concluding lines we take the fol- lowing: “We are having, and have had nearly all the month, cool and brac- ing weather. There is such a stir and vigor in the air that when I breathe I can feel it nearly to my toes. When I came here last Jan. uary I was nearly done for, could not sit up much o fthe time and could walk but little; now I am | well and strong. The children are also very well.
