HOLWORTHY, Notary Public, State of Florida. My commission erpires Aug. 13, 1916, Sworn to and sul “Tuesday marked decisive vic- tories for progress in two South Florida towns—Lakeland and Clear- water” is the way the Tampa Tri- bune looks at it. S T E The exchange editor of the Tampa Tribune must be eliminated as a factor in the patriotic movement in- augurated by the Orlando Sentinel to help out the cotton growers by making the wearing of socks uni- versal among Florida editors. He loftily afirms that he wears silk ones. PR o Pinellas county probably has more politics, other things being equal, than any other county in tne State. And that’s not a bad condition, either, for it implies the opposite of mental stagnation and@ proves the presence of a lively bunch of citi- zens. Sailing vessels never get any- where in a dead calm. And Pinellas has a lively bunch of newspapers, also, always on the qui vive to start something. If you don't believe it just consider Powell and take a slant at Straub. e W s Infant mortality statistics in this country will apparently have to in- clude Mr. Roosevelt’s Progressive party in its next batch of figures. The recent showing of that party at the polls in some northern States, where it was supposed to have strength, seems to indicate its ex- piring kick. Its demise will leave the Colonel in the pathetic attitude of a politician without a party, *he having refused to go back to his first love. ——n When Populism was rampant in this country, one of its chief planks wag that the government should is- sue money on farm products as se- curity, and that kind of financial theorizing was one of the moving causes for the death of the Populist party. The present effort to have the government take cotton as se- curity for a loan to the farmers looks very much like a revival of the discredited Populist doctrine and it is quite likely to fail. The various States could .with entire propriety do something of that kind, but the United States govern- ment is a very different proposition and will hardly go into the business of lending money to individuals on personal security. —0 Today is Natal Grass Day in South Florida when many up-to-date farmers who realize that experiment is the mother of success, intend to plant from one to five acres each in this famous forage growth whose rare qualities are just now coming into recognition. The Telegram has printed some lengthy articles about this grass, showing how well adapted it is to our soil and climate and how superior 1t is to other kinds of hay grown here, and if the things said of it are true, natal grass will prove a great blessing to this section and solve the big prob- lem of cheapn feed for stock at all seasons of the year. It is said that Florida pays out more money to other States for hay thar she gets for her citrus fruit crops. If this is true, it is high time that we ceased from such economic stupidity and learned how to raise our own hay. Natal grass seems to point the way. - Clearwater is also in the list of progressive South Florida cities. On Tuesday the citizens there voted for a bond issue of $75,000 to be ex- pended in local improvements. RS s Those dear good patriots in this country who were yelling for war between the United States and Mex- ico a few months ago and denounc- ing President Wilson because he had too much sense and character to pay any attention to their fool clamor, are now reading up on the bloody brawl in Europe and won- dering how people suppesed to be civilized should go at any such bar- barous business. — e We have much enjoyed the exhil- arating tonic effect of the Greek page of the Tarpon Springs Progres- sive which we have eagerly turned to every week as a classic recrea- tion, a bath in a sparkling Pierian spring, an association by proxy, so to speak, with Demothenes, Themis- tocles, Socrates, Aristotle and the rest cf that bunch in dear old Ath- ens. But, alas! the Greek page is no more, and we will feed never again, perhaps, on the sweets of its classis lore. Those last four lines can be turned into a superior ar- ticle of mortuary poetry with a lit- tle pruning here and there. O tns The dispatches today seem to in- dicate that the Germans are on the eve of a notable success at Antwerp. That city is said to be one of the most strongly fortified in the world and its Belgian defenders are brave as the bravest; but the enor- mous seige guns of the Germans, unequalled by any in Europe, make THE EVENING TELEGRAM, LAKELAND, FLA,, OCT. 8, 1914.

Frank Clark is one of the men in Congress—and they are not numerous--who has the vocabulary, the knowledge and the who likes it or dislikes it, too temperamental and volcanic for the grave deliberations of the Sen- ate, but he's a bully good fighter in the rough and tumble debates of the House where it is frequently neces- sary to call a spade a spade. Do AFTER PASSING YEARS Lakeland Testimony Remains Un- shaken Time is the best test of truth Here is a Lakeland story that has stood the test of time. It is a story with a point which will straight home to many of us. Mrs. F. M. Smith, Bay and Towa Sts., Lakeland, says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills off and on for some time and wouldn't be with- out them. I had attacks of back- ache, no doubt brought on by over exertion. The Kkidney action be- came irregular and my health was affected. Doan's Kidney Pills acted quickly and drove away all symp- toms of the trouble.” No Trouble Since “On May 29th, 1914, Mrs. Smith said: “T am glad to again testify to the merit of Doan’s Kidney Pills. My opinion of this remedy has not changed in any way.
