The Miami Metropolis got out a beautiful special edition of thirty- six pages Saturday chuck full of fine reading matter and sure to give peo- ple abroad who see it a mighty good opinion of Miami as well as the | Metropolis. O The Orlando Sentinel complains of the presence of ‘‘mashers’” on the streets of that city who insult la- dies with their remarks and atten- tions, and from the tone of the ar- ticle we should say that there will be something doing in Orlando pret-' ty soon unless the evil is abated.l The most detestible creature on‘, earth is the fellow whe “gangs"' with others of his kind on the streets and makes ladies passing along the subject of his indecent re- marks and coarse, suggestive, ri- bald laughter and vile innuendo. 0 Dixie is talking right out in meet- ing about public officials in Florida | riding on railroad passes and is calling names, too, including a, judge or two. Considering its com- paratively small value, a railroad pass is one of the most allurlng! things on earth, and, while it will have no sonscious influence on’ a judge, or a legislator, built right | in his chanracter, in disturbing the balance of his judgment on ques-, tions to which the railroad is a par-, ty, it is best to be on the safe side and know yourself to be beyond the: possibility of bias by rejecting the special privilege. | T \ The injury to the phosnhate busi- ness in Polk county by the European | war hag been greatly exaggerated | and some people seem to be under the impression that that industry has been almost closed down and nearly all the employes discharged. i "This is a mistake. Most of the mines are working right along and the fol- lowing from the Tampa Times is an accurate statement of conditions: “The phosphate situation in Polk county is brightening. This industry was injured more than any other in the State by the European war; but it is reviving. Nearly all the mines are working, although with reduced | forces. Some few are working almost full force. One establishment reports orders for eight heavy cargoes for foreign shipment, all to be sent to British ports. All of those that re- port working forces reduced say that business is continually improving and they hope soon to increase to their regular complement of men. The outlook is decidedly propitious and encouraging.” —_—— A NAPOLEONIC DICTUM THAT IS NOT TRUE Napoleon Bonaparte said: “A good man never makes a good sol- dier. The worst man always makes the best soldier. The soldier is nothing but a hired, legalized mur_ derer.” And if any one knew what he was talking about along the theme of war and “heroes,’ the lit- tle corporal did.—Miami Metrop- olis. We don’t believe that Napoleon said anything of the kind, and if he did he said something that was ab- curdly and slanderously false. Pre- cisely the reverse of his dictum is the truth, as every old soldier of our civil war can testify, and what was true of our war in tnat respect is doubtless true of ail other wars be- tween clvilized peoples. The “bad men” in pouce rarely make good soldiers in war, and the bumptious bullies swaggering on the streets, with mouths full of big oaths, ready to bulldoze smaller and weaker men, are the very chaps who sing low when the battle 1s on, for on the firing line their methods are worthless and there is a dreadful nakedness about the danger and equality of opportunity which doesn’t suit their style of warfare at all. t The quiet, unassuming men without boast or bluster, and with most moral reserves, are almost in- variably the better soldiers. It is as true in war as it is in poetry that “the bravest are the tenderest; the loving are the daring.” —————————————— e et e e et e et e e THE EVENING TELEGRAM, LAKELAND, FLA,, OCT. 17, 1914. O ee—— . There ought to be something do- ing of a decisive character in that European war this week. There are psychological moments in war as well as peace. The boys on both sides are fighting, well and being killed and wounded at a .noble rate, but we fans demand something bet- ter than ‘“violent” collisions that get neither side anywhere and leaves the statu quo undisturbed. PISER=Lel 7 o et The Pensacola Journai estimates the total of dead, wounded and miss- ing in the European war thus far at about 2,000,000. These figures are perhaps exaggerated as much in one direction as the official estimates in the other. Doubtless we will never get any aecurate knowledge on the subject but the sum total must be awful and makes a fine commentary upon the alleged civilizatici of Eu- rope. - Colonel Theodore Roosevelt is windjamming in Illinois this week in behalf of his alleged I'rogressive party. The Colonel has shrunken so as a worldwonder that he is now al- most a pathetic figure on the hori- zon. His day has passed, but he re_ fus2s to gee it. His feet of clay are now the most conspicuous part of his anatomy in the public eye. Col- onel Roosevelt is an ablz man, but was never a great one, although he fooled many people into thinking that he was. o The Clearwater Sun of Saturday celebrated ‘“Newspaper Day’ by get- ting out an unusually fine edition. The Sun is a bright publication, and while Powell is always kicking up a rumpus of some kind, he does it in a decent, gentlemanly way and it certainly helps to keep things lively within the circumference of his pa- per’s circulation. “Why is Powell?” is a question easily answered by perusing the Sun. We are glad of him because he is a vigorous, cheer- ful, optimistic chap who never says ldie and knows how to put a point to what' he says. rAl s I Like the courageous manly man and clear-headed statesman that he is, Senator John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, at the final hour in the debate Saturday on the war revenue bill, said that he didn't propose to be one af the small bunch of Demo- cratic senators combining with the Republicans to defeat that indis- pensable emergency measure for the sake of an impossible cotton relief amendment tacked on to 1t. The war revenue bill will become law, and it is fortunate for thc Demo- cratic party, now responsible to the country for the solvency of the gov- ernment, that it will. Republican orators and newspapers could ask no better issue to go before the coun- try on and demand the defeat of the Democratic party in the Novem- ber elections than the fact that a Democraticcongress had defeated the war revenue bill necessary to raise money to pay the current expense of the government, because Southern Democratic congressman couldn’t get legislation to help a spccial class in the South. O——— THREE WHITE MEN CONVICTED OF CRUEL MURDER OF NEGRO Blountstown, Fla., Oct. 19.— Three white men—Ben McDaniel, B. M. Franklin and Math Davis—all young and well connected, were on Saturday in the circuit court here convicted of the murder of Lumi Johnson, a worthy negro man living five miles north of here, under cir- cumstances of great cruelty. Public sentiment all over the county was aroused against the murderers, color line prejudices faded, and the pris- oners, although well defended, were promptly convicted. The result in this case overthrows the notion that no Florida jury will convict a white man for killing a negro. DEEDS, NOT WORDS Lakeland People Have Absolute Proof of Deeds at Home It's not words but deeds prove true merit. The deeds of Doan’s Kidney Pills, For Lakeland kidney sufferers, Have made their reputation. Proof lies in the testimony of Lakeland people. E. C. Eades, contractor and build- er, Bay and lowa streets, Lakeland, says: “l had a lame and aching back and pains across my kidneys. The kidney action was irregular and the kidney secretions were unnat- ural. Doan’s Kidney Pills brought me prompt relief. I have used them occasionally since when being an_ noyed by backache and weak kid- neys and they have acted as repre- sented. 1 still think as highly of Doan’s Kidney Pills now as when I publicly endorsed them some years ago. The benefit T got has been permanent.” Price 50c, at all dealers. that Weekly Honor Roll For Week Ending Oct. 16, 1914 Those who have made 9 per cent or above in scholarship and who have been perfect in deportment, punctuality, and attendance, are en- titled to have their names placed on the following honor roll: GRADE XII Edith Tomlinson Mary Groover Ned Skipper Mary McKay Kathryn White GRADE XI Genevieve Duggan Mildred Hampton Ellie Kibler Frances Straw Leon Jackson GRADE X James Boulware Gladys Turner George Haldemarn Annie Jones Eolia Leighton GRADE X B Bessie Bryant GRADE IX A Elizabeth Meharg Ethel Cook Effie Johnson ‘Edmonia Moore Gladys Kerr.
