Fletcher in public debate of the is- sues between them he thereby at- tached the fatal tin can to the rem- nant of hig prospects for getting into the United States Senate. We highly respect Mr. Stockton personally, but we are constrained to regard him as a canne( candidate from now on. ( The progressive example of Lake- land in employing a municipal man- ager has put a thinking cap on the heads of public-spirited people in other cities in Florida and they are reasoning very naturally that if a is good for Lakeland the same would also be good for other communitics. Sentiment on the sub- ject has been stirred in DeLand and although they haven't the commis- sion form of government there, it is urged that the City Couneil employ a manager to take charge of the bus- iness of the city.

Deland's last budget provideq for the expenditure of $30,~ 000—with no salaried man to guard the expenditure of this considerable ameunt of money. Council should employ a man, at a salary of §125 month, who should devote his entire time to the city, to look after the details of the expenditure of this money, to whom all complaints shoulq be made. A competent man in this position could save the city at least $5,000 a year.” D iiamis WHERE CALIFORNIA SHAMES US Thirty years ago southern Califor- nia was for most part an unlovely land to look upon, a parched and arig waste given over to cattle, cac- tus anqd side-winders. Today it is in comparably Jovely in its profusion of fruits and flowers and beautiful homes, anq the appreciative visitor to that section, with his senses cap- tured by all the glowing colors and rich fruitfulness around him, wants to invest hig money there and live in a land to which nature has been so kind. It is a region of pretty homes, not only in the cities, but in the rura] districts, anq the secret of its drawing power is in these same homes, each a gem set in emerald green lawng embroidered with a pro- fusion. of flowers of every color of the rainbow. Nature has done more for South Florida than for Southern Califor- nia, ang while the time will come when we can rival her in beautiful homes, it is stil] far away and we have hardly more than made a start in that direction. In thig kindly soil ang climate there is no reason why every home in Polk county should not have itg lawn and flowers to hide the sand if onty the energy, am- bition and taste be present; anqd the time will come when the householder without these will suffer in the es- teem of his neighbors ang they will wonder \\'h;; he prefers a graceless home set in a small desert of sand | and weeds for his wife ang children to spend their lives in to a beautiful living spot adorned with well kepe [LRot anrlvfli7890%..78908........ lawn ang flowers to which they can point with pride. It is as sure as na- ture itself that the type of the home largely determines the type of the | people in it, and from unlovely squal- | or comes the inferior class as certhin- 1_\, as the cutured and ml::hn'um]‘ from the homes of grace anq beauty. | One of the sure ways to draw good people to Florida and silence the tongue of invidious criticism and dis- paragement is to show the mhomes where energy and taste have done their work and green lawns anqd flow- ers anq well kept yards have made the face of nature fair, hidden all its ugliness and proved the presence of an educated ang progressive popu- | lation.

The highest compliment T received on this occasion was from three northern ladies who are teaching here. They said, “Why, general, you did not say a single thing to make us mad.” The 29th and 30th were the an- nual reunion of York Rite Masons held with the lodge and chapter here. Outside of fraternal amenities we were delighted with the report of Ben M. Jacobs, president of trustees of the Masonic Home at Montgom- ery. It made us proud to know that so very many widows and orphans of worthy Masons were so well cared for by our brethren of Alabama. The lecture on “George Washington, the Mason,” was replete with his- torical interest. He gives Washing- ton's’ Masonic life, step by step, from the day of hig initiation to his burial with Masonic honors at Mt. Vernon. I am to leave here on May 4 for the reunion, reaching the Windsor on the morning of the 5th. T have not seen a copy of the Tele- gram since the issue of the 11th of April.
