The amendment is all right to find out that discipline and effi- government, also, will be largely promoted by increas- ing the governor's power of appoint- ciency in civil ment and removal. This country is furnishing plenty of instances of in- efficient promptly removed, but are permit- ted to stick to the end because the governor has no power to remove. 0 IT IS A MATTER FOR STATE AND PRIVATE ENTERPRISE The persistence with which Southern congressmen are working to get Uncle Sam to go into busi- ness as a cotton broker for the ben- | | and some of these days we are going | officers who ougnt to be! 0 Henry has to President Wilson because of a sore throat that is troubling the latter.

There ought to be some way in some of those countrles (o make that swaggering black husky get into the army and take his chances with the millions of better men who are facing lead and steel every day. It is indeed an inscrutible provi- dence that has kept him in good health in the midst of all the Eu- ropean commotion while thousands of the bravest and best have died and rotted on the soil of France and Belgium. “IS KNOWN ALL OVER FLORIDA” The St. Augustine Record, whose good opinion is well worth {having by any paper or uny com- munity, has the following, which is a tribute to the ‘“Lakeland spirit” that will be appreciated by our readers: “By voting the amount of $165,- 000 for municipal improvements, Lakeland takes another step in the march of progress. And right here, it ought to be stated that a great efit of the growers is worthy of all admiration considered purely persistence, but it is almost certain to come to nothing. It is a novel idea of the function of the United States government that it must lend | a man money on personai security he when he gets hard up because can't sell his produce at a profit. If the policy is good for cotton, it is good for wheat, corn, potatoes, cucumbers, watermelons, phos- phates, apples, peaches and oranges; and to refuse the aid of the na- tional treasury to the growers of these latter when unprofitable prices prevail, while extending it to the cotton growers, would be an in- vidious discrimination which rest of the country would resent. Everybody is sorry for the farmers unable to market their cotton at a profit, but such misfortunes have happened before without the gov- ernment being called on to make the loss good, and will probably happen again at some time or oth- er. It would bankrupt the richest government in the world to go into this kind of business as a rule, di- vert it from its true functions, and if kept up it would educate all the producing classes to the 1dea that they could look confidently to the national treasury fo help them out of the hole every time they got in it. There is plenty of wealth in the South to relieve the cotton growers on a purely business basis without adventuring on discarded Populistic theories of government, and the cotton States themselves could with much more propriety issue the bonds to finance the cotton crop. President Wilson and Secretary Me- Adoo are both unfavorable to the plan to have the gzovernment take over the cotton crop in exchange for bonds and it seems highly im- probable that any such measure will become law. The true and doubtless the only way to help the cotton srowersg in their emergency is suggested in the following dispatch from New York under date of yesterday: “The raising of a $150,000,000 fund by bankers and Southern cot- ton planters to finance the country's cotton crop, virtually is assured, ac- cording to statements given out to- night, and the federal reserve bhoard at Washington will be asked to con- trol the fund and superintend its loaning. Bankers and representa- tives of cotton planters agreed, it is stated, to furnish $50,000,000 if the rest of the country would supply $100,000,000 or more under condi- tions agreed to at the conference.” as the | } deal of the credit is due the Lake- land Evening Telegram. Editor M. |F. Hetherington is always on the side of progress, and his influence and that of his newspaper are both devoted to advancing the best in- terests of his city. This money is to be spent for light and water im- provements, for the fire department, and a portion for the city hospital. Lakcland, a long while ago, ranked as one of the leading cities in Flor- ida, but this additional boost will make it still more prominent, and decidedly more attraotive. What is called the ‘Lakeland spirit’ is known all over Florida, and so it is not sur- prising that her citizens have de- cided to give prosperity one more boost.” ) -0- WHY SO0 WEAK? Kidney Troubles May Be Sapping Your Life Away. Lakeland People Have Learned This Fact When a healthy man or women begins to run down without appar- ient cause, becomes weak, languid, depressed, suffers backache, head- ache, dizzy spells and urinary dis- orders, weak kidneys may be the cause. The slightest symptom of kidney trouble is too serious to neg- lect. Doan's Kidney Pills have earned their fame by their cffective- ness in strengthening the kidneys and keeping them well. Here is Lakeland testimony to prove their worth. Mrs. M. A. Brawere, Lakelana, says: ‘“Last winter 1 caught cold and 1 believe that was what brou:ht on my kidney trouble. I had a lot of trcuble from the kidney secre- tions and was subject to headaches and dizzy spells. A friend urged me to try Doan's Kidney Pills and I got a supply at the Lake Pharmacy. I began using them and had relief right away. Doan’s Kidney Pills have done me a world of good and 1 don’t hesitate to endorse them.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy— get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Brawere had. Foster-Mil- burn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. FOR SALE—Missionary strawberry plants.
