It is not reluctance to give that makes so many people dread the mod- ern Christmas and take refuge in the sheltering arms of the Spug Society, but the difficulty of determining what to give. The days of an apple, an orange and three sticks of striped candy as an adequate gift to the kid have passed forever. His sophisti- cated soul would hold you in utter scorn if you attempted to get off that easy now. D Those people who are eager for Uncle Sam to go to war with Mex- ico because the Mexicans are cutting each other's throats, are, of course, innocent of all knowledge of the hor- rors of war and prattle about a sub- Jject they have no acquaintance with. Let them read the following from Tolstoi, the wise old Russian philos- opher: “Every war, even the briefest, will, in one year, demoralize mepn incom- parably more than thousands of thefts, arsons and murders commit- ted in the course of centuries by in- dividual men under the influence of passion.”” —_—— We are glad to have Secretary Bryan back again with us in Florida even for a brief vacation, and now | that he has a beautiful home and a; farm over on the East C'oast near Mi-’ ami we feel that he is something| more than a winter resident and is to all intents and purposes a citizen of Florida, barring the voting privi- lege. Mr. Bryan has enhanced his fame since he took the office of sec- retary of State and has shown such poise and good judgment, such ab- sence of excitement and emotional- ism, especially in dealing with the Mexican question whose phases seem to shift every day, that he has abundantly vindicated the wisdom of President Wilson in selecting him for the great office he holds. Mr. Bryan is showing himself the full equal of any of his predecessors in e —" Happily therc are no feuds or fac- tions in our beautiful little city of Lakeland, no clans nor clannishness, and with our enlightened and pro- gressive population drawn from all parts of the country we can come to- gether without any of these obstruc- tive forces when occasion calls for united and enthusiastic effort in be- half of the home city we all love. Such an occasion is near at hand in the cclebration of. the thirtieth anni- versary of Lakeland’s life on the com- ing first of January, and never has there been such an opportunity for our citizens join together in whole-hearted effort to show both ourselves and the world how much we think of Lakeland. We've got the city to brag on and we've got the people to do the bragging and if we to versary in spectacular effects and general enthusiasm we will miss a rare chance for some splendid horn- blowing loud enough to attract the attention of the whole State. don’t make the most of that :mnl-l LN !sanitarium erected by the Metropoli- county will suffer for it.

Preston was not so lucky. He was tried when everybody was feeling fresh and he was found guilty. But a meddling pardoning board undoes the work of the jury and sends the murderer to the prison camp, where he has a good chance to escape, get out on parole, or be pardoned in the next few years." The band has had its ups and its downs, its knocks and kicks but to- day is still in good shape to do their part on the day of Lakeland’s cele- bration. There was a time when things look black for our band. I refer to the time when a like or- ganization started, made up mostly of out-of-town musicians. They were good for the time they lasted, but' that is where the trouble was; they did not last long. As there was no money in it they soon fizzled out and blew away. There were those in town that made the remark that the Lakeland +band had seen its last days, but as these remarks were made to certain ones of the band, they stated that with its Christmas number, which OUr band had furnished music for carried a fine colored cover and a Lakeland before this new one came wealth of holiday reading matter and and would still furnish it long after advertisements.
