PREEIR S S RS New Orleans was very sore when she failed to secure the location of the Panama exposition, but she can well shake hands with her- self now on her good fortune in missing that prize. And we doubt if San Francisco is feeling very hap- py over her possession of the white elephant, considering its $17,000,- 000 price and the scant pruspect of coming out even on the.ivestment. ey Cattle we must always have until we become a race of vegetarians, which won’'t happen for some thou- sands of years yet. And the way Florlda is coming to the front as a cattle country is one of the most gratifying signs of the times. Steers for the Chicago market grazing in view of the orange groves is a sight not to be witnessed in any other part of the country. PR T SOERE We are sorry to see that Con- gressman Clark is discouragifg the buy-a-bale cotton movement anu thinks that if even a million bales were bought that way it wouldn't help much nor affect the price. But it Congressman Clark were one of the farmers who got the benefit of the movement and thereby sold his cotton at the fair price of ten cents a pound, very likely he would hold to precisely the opposite opinjon. The movement was not expected to be a perfect remedy, but if made general it would help a great deal. RO S The recent letter of Former Gov- ernor Gilchrist urging the adoption of the two amendments to the State constitution to be voted on in No- vember which will enable our su- preme court judges to be paid bet- ter salaries for their work, is at- tracting favorable comment. The judges should be paid so well tnat lawyers of the first class would seek such positions, but as it is now the salaries are not attractive to capa- ble lawyers in |good practice, for they ‘can make more money at the bar than on the bench. AR AL SR Somebody ougnt to post Villa on the theory of psychological mo- ments. He chose the wrong one to make his sensational reappearance as a revolutionist and as a result the audience, otherwise engaged with the big show in Europe, failed to give him ‘“‘the hand” as he had been in the habit of getting it be- fore the two kaisers busted loose. We almost fear that American edu- cational influence nas been lost on Villa, who was such a promising subject but a few months ago, and that he is now reverting to type as a holdup, a cutthroat, a mule-skin- ner and a horse thief. T — We congratulate Tampa that she has at last organized a military company and intends to make it a good one. As the second city in the State she ought to have two of them. Such organizations have great utility in emergencies that may arise at any unexpected mo- ment, and we ought to have one In Lakeland, too. Young men be- longing to such companies are al- most invariably bettered, physically, mentally and morally, and it gives them and the community generally an increased respect for law and order. A crackerjack military company thoroughly disciplined and made up of representative young men is a concrete symbol of law and government much more impressive and influential than such forces in the abstract; and that large class of people which can’t see anything ex- cept with the physical eye needs to be frequently informed by material signs and warnings that the law is right on hand to get busy any mo- ment the hoodlums, the rowdies and the mob make it necessary. We don’t believe in war, but we are very much in favor of being pre- pared for it. P e ————————— Texas alwars does things on a big scale, with which, possibly, her ter- ritorial immensity as compared with the other States, has something to do. She is now considering the queaticn of organizing a State Bank to be called the Bank of Texas and capitalized at $20,000,000. ———— A GRAND PSYCHOLOG- ICAL SUCCESS The man who first suggested that buy-a-bale-of-cotton movement was surely a psychologist “properly onto his job.” The proposition was the very essence of altruistic common sense, an easily practicable plan to help relieve the strain of a great emergency without imposing a bur- den upon any one. One bale of cot- ton can be easily and safcly stored; it is as good as money in the bank; the price of it at ten cents a pound is within the reach of many thou- sands of pcople who won’t miss the sum required, and they are sure to get their money back, and very like- ly a profit with it by simply holding it for the rise that will come when the war in Europe ends. They are able to hold it, and the cotton growers are not, and if enocugh of them join in the move- ment, the disaster of marketing a big cotton crop at a price that means heavy loss to the farmers will have been averted and the whole South, and, in less degree, the rest of the country, too, will have been saved from a year of hard times, partial game bird species during paralysis of trade and very little money in circulation. The Southern cotton this year at |ioq 9 ig hunting without a ten cents a pound is worth $700,- 000,000, and this stupendous sum in circulation in the South means fair measure of prosperity for all, in connection with the other crops, manufactures, etc. To cut that price in half, perhaps less than half, spells hard times for the cotton grower and all dependent upon his crop; but if this buy-a-bale move- ment shall continue to snread so much of the crop may be marketed at a fair price that the hard times for the farmer and his allies will be as a wolf driven from the door. And it is good to know that the move- ment is growing at the North as well as the South and an increasing number of the big corporations in that section are instructing their agentg to buy cotton at the ten cent price. There is a large and valuable moral ag well as economic lesson to be drawn from this movement, for it shows how easy 1t is in times of stress for widespread distiess to be averted by general and concerted effort in which no investor loses a dollar—rather does he see a prob- able profit—and his ears are not wearied and his selfishness quick- ened by the incessant and world-old appeal for help for the unfortunate. —() REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS (Furnished by the Security Abstract and Title Company.)

PRISON STRIPES ABOL- ISHED IN NEW YORK New York, Sept. 30.—The pris- oners in the penitentiary on Black- well’s Island have discarded their suits of stripeg for neat and equally durable ‘trousers and jumpers of blue. This innovation is the result of Correction Commissioner Kat- therine B. Davis’ policy to eliminate as far as possible all prison marks on clothing. The striped suits, which for years have been the badge of those sent to the island, have been relegated to the past, for the psychological effect. The commis- sioner believes that a man should not be constantly reminded by the clothing he wears that he has co mitted a crime and is beyond the pale of the law. In helping them to regain their self respect, her object is the betterment of their ideas and life after they are dischargd from the institution. In this the commis- sioner has followed the steps of the prison commissioners of the State, who have abolished the stripes at The Finishing Touches QPO S LB § S : Ei that add exclusiveness and distinction 4 & 3 & & - 2, B D B POBBOPOPOEQ FUPOPO QO SEPBHIPPPPPPLIPD DO K o PP o @ IIHOPOOS i ! to the modest toilettes of’today can be beselected from our complete stock of .
