One of the chief values of Florida is '.l;a' it is so delightfully different, and the lovely weather here may and frequently does meanclimate of quite another kind north of the Potomac and the Ohio. March is practimlly; a winter month at the north and is about the best time in the year up, there to get pneumonia. The Flor- ida tourist season doesn't properl}" end until the first of May, as any wise old tourist will tell you. But really the best way is not to leave here at all except perhaps to ar-, range to come back for a permanent stay. | | The cause of woman suffrage in | this country has made 0 wonderful progress through the action of the States themselves, and Congress very properly repudiateq the effort to put it into the federal constitu- tion through a proposed amcndment to that effect.One of the crimes in American history, as stupid as it was malignant, was the adoption of the Fifteenth amendment giving, wholesale enfranchisement to the negroes of the South, and if the women of this country are to get the franchise they should and will only get it through the action of the States, each determinining the question for itself. I 0 We can't undorsm‘nd why the cus- tom of appointing young ladies as, sponsors for Confederate soldiers was ever introduced or why it should have obtained favor from' them. There is neither good sense or propriety in so doing.—Jasper News. Just to give the grace, beauty and fragrance of lavely young woman- hood to the occasion; to force a smile upon the grim, wrinkled front of Mars as it were and relieve the sober shades of the picture by the vivid coloring which pretty, jovous girls always impart to their sur- roundings. Perhaps they too much divide with the old soldiers the in- terest of the crowd, but we suspect that the crowd itself would not be nearly so large if the sponsors were f omitted from the program. PSSR £ The people of Lakelanq are ad-| vertising for a “‘municipal manag-| Are they, as free American cit- izens, prepared to surrender into the hands of a hireline the dearest right of a free people; that of goy- er.” €l themselveg?-——Tampa Times, Well, we haven't hired him yet ! and maybe we won't, for it will take a very supe rior man of rare judg- ment, tact. force of character and executive ability to holq down that job and perhaps that kind can't be had. But even if he can and we give him the job he'll be our hired man, he? And a hired man doesn’t generally boss the people that hire ang make them dance his music does he? It's the other way around, isn’'t it? In employving a municipal manager the Lakeland would no more into his keeping the ‘‘dearest rights of a free people” than the owners won't him to surrender of a department store or any fzmtor}" or transportation line would give up their rights in their own ]!I‘(\[lvr—l ty to the man they hired as business manager. The power that hired him is always back of him to regulate him or “fire him bodily™ if it wishes to, and he is employed purely and simply in the cause of efliciency in the management of the prog Our city commissioners, who are the the people of Lakeland as much as any board of aldermen, servants of woulq employ and discharge a busi- ness manager just as the board of directors of a railroad company would, and with that power of of- ficia] life and death over him there is no danger that he woulq rob us of the “dearest rights of a free peo- pré.” P ‘ms OPINION OF THE people of!
