It would take more soldiers than Uncle Sam has in his army to keep the whole outfit from deserting in double quick time." ——0 That is shocking news which comes from good old Pensacola that 8iX policemen there had been asked to tender their resignations as the result of investigations which showed that they had been paid ‘“pro- tection money” by gambling houses.’ We 'had thought that this sort of business was confined to New York and some of the other larger cities' where the beast of corruption has' long had its lair. To think of a Florida policeman getting that low down or that hard-up almost stag-l gers our faith in human nature. 0 The Arcadia News draws two just conclusions from the recent ap- pointment of W. K. Jackson, Jr., of this city as district attorney in the Panama canal zone and says: “Mr. Jackson's appointment goes to prove two important features, the first being that Florida is not ostra- sized from appointment to high po-| sitions of public trust by the party' now in power for political reasons ori otherwise, and to prove secondly that Florida boys are able to com- pete with the boys of other States for honors bearing efficiency and re- nown. Lakeland is to be congratu- lated on the honor of a son so well recognized, and most of all Mr. Jackson is to be congratulated npon| the signal success he has merited.”| o0—— Here's a littie pen picture of Gen- eral Villa, the Mexican leader. which may or may not be true, but it is drawn by one of his countrymen, Prof. Gonzalez, now in Tampa, and; bears* out the impression of him sug- gested by his pictures in the nnws-} | papers: “He is a man of great brutality and takes the utmost delight in per- sonally shooting prisoners which are, captured. He shot so many one day, that his arm had to be carried in a; sling. Several years ago he killed a man in the presence of his wife, and when the latter threw herself on her husband’s body, Villa kicked her| away."” b2 s ()it We congratulate ful and interesting development number devoted to an exposition of | the attractions and resources Plant City and its tributary terri tory. ains thirty-two pages and has attractive cover showin 1 of a mammoth strawberry used a map for the railroad lines passing through Plant City.

It was thought that when the big Kibler hotel in this city was finished and opened for guests last November at Lakeland was at last fully equipped with first class hotel fa- cl lities;; but the hotel has been crowded all winter, more than 1,200 people have been turned away for the want of room and now the Kib- lers are preparing to build a spacious annex to meet the demand for more room.
