Thel mere thought of getting in “the! greatest deliberative body on onrth"' tends to make a man chesty. O | Live Oak now claims a population | of 5,500, which is a fine showing t'or! a fine town, ‘but the statement giv- | ing the information says that it is Lased on a ‘“‘conservative estimate.” Time was when Live Oak was the| wonder of north middle Florida in its growth and enterprise, and with' its first boom departed, the fine lit- tle city is coming again on a surer basis. e AR R This and all other countries have enough and more than enough of military heroes in bronze and marble to symbolize the splendors| of war anid the glory of organized wholesale human slaughter. But the heroesl oi peace have not received thelrl share of recognition in this forest of statuary, and so we are glad that Dr. Gorrie, who won no martial glory, but contributed beyond com- putation to the good of the world by his process of making artificlal ice, will be set up in marble in Statvary Hall at Washington as one of the great men Florida has given to the nation. . 0=l E uch cases the projectors pay for their mistake in judgment by the loss of their investment, which be- comes mere junk on their hands, and after dropping their money in a bot- tomless hole, quit in disgust, with their fingers badly burned. That’s about what happened to the people who put their money in the Jack- sonville News. PG Y S G0OD ROADS FOR POLK COUNTY Good Roads Day isn't talked much of any more. Persons who were very enthusiastic at the time have already said that it did not amount to much- after all and it is always a good while a man has to think so before he says so, you know. It was this way “much noise and but little wool” as the man said when he sheared his pig. Enthusiasm is a mighty fine thing but too closely related to air, and as air not compact enough to keep heavy action as road building away from the fatal rock. It takes sound knowledge and sys- tematic hard work to build good roads; let us hold .on to this fact and then let us see what good thei Good Roads Day has done or can| help to do. Those who did not know | are informed that we have some mighty bad roads and therefore real- izes the other and most important fact, ‘“‘the need of good roads."” At this time it might be clear that| this money--or its equivalent—spent here in Lakeland on ‘‘good roads day” was a very poor investment and the most it can ido is to illustrate how not to build roads. If those hard working citizens have not spent all their energy I! will ask them to entertain a motion as to what to build. If we can make clear what to build, to fix a standard tor an improved road then we can settle on some material to build of and how to get hold of such material (another article about this subject will follow later) is only a.matter of search. The main thing at this moment is to get the people at large to realize the value of real good roads. I mean the real thing, not imitation. How to educate is a matter of opinion. The successful business man finds it worth his while to keep the facts before the eyes of the people con- stantly; would it not be well for the city, the county or the State to print a few lines in the papers now and then if not all the time—statistics showing the expenditures, repairs of bad roads and publicity in every form that shows this and emphasizes You've got but little over a month in which to register if you want to vote in the June primary. 'If your name isn't on the registration list by the first Monday in March the lig is up and you idon't vote. All prev- ious registrations are worthless; this iz a new deal under a new law. R s I ANOTHER NEW PAPER GONE TO THE WALL The expected, we had almost saiid, the inevitable, has happened, and Jacksonville's big new afternoon pa- per, The News, launched a little nmore than a month ago, has sus- pended and its plant is in the hands of the sheriff. It is another melan- choly instance of misdirected ambi- tion and wasted capital and it teaches a lesson too plain to be mis- understood. Jacksonville, with a population around 100,000, has two excellent and long established dailies, one morning and one afternoon. They completely filled the field and left no room whatever for a third paper. No paper ever ers or ever will —the thing is impos- sible—and as a result there is in ev- €ry community a smal! element of the dissatisfied, which, with no con- ception of the heavy expense and vn- ending trouble incident to the start- ing and publication of a paper, call loudly for a new one that will better reflect their and their pulicies and interests. There such opinions promote was an element in Jacksonville, and prodizious of veice but short on numbers, it was , incessant in its [lemands for a new ‘ afternoon daily to “knock out the § Met."” Unkappily for the Hanson s Prothers they heard and heeded this demand, and, substance, mistaking sound for put in at enormous . ex- 'y pense a new plant and startéd a new paper. With the field already fuily cccupied by the Metropolis, long os- tablished and firmly founded, of course there was uo adequate sup- vet satisfied all its read-'J the good features of good roaids. If we only find out that good roads is worth having, we will soon be wanting them so bad that it will be no trouble at all to get money to build them with. J. NIELSEN LANGE. 1914. 27, Jan. GOTHAM NEWS AND GOSSIP New York, Jan. 31.—The graft probe, as it has involved big politi- cians connected with Tammany Hall, has furnished one of the great- est sensations of the week, over- shadowing even the appointment of a police commissioner of such re- markable status as Col. Goethals. Certainly Tammany has reached the end of its rope and followers of the wigwam no longer deny that the days of the leadership of Charles E. Murphy are numbered. It does uot take a very observant person to see that the next big men in the Demo- cratic party in New York will bhe chn o - Mitchell, of New York, and Dt v Field Malone, collector of the port of New York. Both are young men but they have the back- ing of the president of the United | States, important political jobs and the best element in their own party. No one could wish more.
