THE VETERANS ARE COMING IN —_— Some of the veterans came in to- day and there will be opening ex- ercises tonight, but not uatil tomor- row when the bulk of the visitors will be present will the reunion proper begin. The Telegram bids all the arrivals today a cordial wel- come to the hearts and homes of our people, and in tomorrow’s issue we will have a more elaborate greeting for the old soldiers who honor our city with their presence. We are prepared to entertain them all, not only the veterans, but their friends and families, and the more girls that come with them the better; for it is now understood by force of long custom that at all Con- federate reunions the bright-eyed, soft-voiced daughters anJd grand- daughters and kinswomen generally of the old boys who wore the gray are relied on to give the colby and charm of youth and grace amdbeauty needed to contrast with the somber hues of age and the g‘m memories -of war. The Tampa Tribune is right when it says: s “Lakeland is host to the Confed- erate Veterans of the State, begin- ning today. Homes havé been op- ened to the old soldiers and real hos- pitality will prevail throughout the reunion. A veterans’ reunion these days is by no means confined to vet- erans—in fact, the guests of honor form but a small percentage of the visiting crowds. Therefore, a re- union city must needs prepare varied entertainment to suit the young as well as the old. Lakeland has'not been remiss in this particular and those who visit the eity during the reunion period may expect: a most enjoyable experience.” . ., —Q———— GIVE THE STATE A CHANCE | —— The recent pardon of a Tampa murderer who had served but a few years of a life sentence moves the Tampa Tribune to indignant protest. We remember well when the crime was committed and it seemed to be about as cruel and jnexcusable a butchery as even a breech-clouted savage would commit. That such an offender should again be turned loose upon civilized people can only be explained on the theory that the ‘board of pardans ;ad go, full or“gc- curate knowledge of the nature of the crime and was misled hy the number of signatures to the peti- tion asking for clemency. This petition business is an awful humbug in many instances and in some a menace and a calamity to or- ganized society. It either ought to be abolished or reformed, for it too often makes a weak, sympathetic, spineless monkey of the law when it should be stern, rigid and unyield- ing—a terror to criminals and an ark of safety for law-abiaing peo- ple. The board of pardons is hu- man, and when it is overwhelmed by petitions signed by respectable, daw-abiding citizens, including the jury that convicted, asking the par- don of a convict, it is very likely to yleld in the absence of aay repre- sentative of the State informed of the full facts in the case and charged with the duty of presenting them to the board. There should be such a represen- tative in every instance, for the board sits almost as a court of ap- peal and revision and it is mani- festly unfair that only one side of the case should be presented. We are not criticising the board of par- dons in this case, for its action was to be expected under the circum- stances, but we express a common opinion that petitions in such cases should not be signed without inves- tigation or merely to please some one, and that the State should be heard in every instance before the board acts. B George Bernard Shaw says that the people who really think number less than 50,000 out of the whole population of the world. Sometimes in moments of pessimism when we have labored in vain to get others to see things from our point of view we are firmly convinced that Shaw \Was 49,999 in excess of the true umber. imen every day in killed ard wound- ‘ed. This simple statement of a doz- en words gives a terribly graphic idea of the horrors of the butchery going on in Europe, and to this add truthfully said of the best construc- tive Congress since the Civil war.

For Sale By MODEL HARDWARE CO. Lakeland, Fla. - $40,000 Needed With Which To Combat Canker —— . The citrus growers and others in- terested met at the City Hall yester- day to hear Lloyd S. Tenney on the subject of citrus canker, which has been considerably agitating the state ‘| for some time past. Mr. Tenney had samples of dis- eased fruit in alcohol which he ex- hibited to those present, hardly any of whom had ever seen it. He ex- plained the early methods used in fighting the disease which they had learned from bitter experience were allwrong, for the disease is so malig- nant, so infectious, that the very in- spection of the groves and the at- tempted treatment by spraying had done much more harm than good by spreading the infection. Now the inspectors never touch a piece of fruit or even a leaf in any grove, whether it be a suspected grove or not. The inspectors, who have been thoroughly trained for the work, use special clothing and as soon as /infection is found they at once leave the grove, after marking the trees, change their clothing on leaving the infected grove, which is then turned over to the fire-fighting gang who go in and thoroughly destroy by burn- ing all trees infected. The grove is then inspected weekly and the same procesg repeated until the disease has bteen stamped out. Out of 107 groves treated in this manner in Dade county, only 19 now show in- fection. Mr. Tenny stated that it was im- perative to use the most strenuous }nethods and follow up the fight now or the ultimate loss would be a most serious one to the entire State. He 'was assured that if they could keep up the fight for the next ten months in the way they were now engaged, and with the financial assistance which had been given and promised, the disease could and would be prac- tically stamped out, though it would be necessary to keep a strict watch for its possible reappearance at any time. He stated that the expense of carrying on this work would amount to not less than $§4,000 @ month for the next ten months and said Polk county had done nobly in being about the first to respond with financial assistance and believed that the growers and others interested in this county would do all in their power to help sustain the fight. Growers are asked to contribute fifty cents per acre to the fund and those belonging to the Association or shipping through Chuse & Co., Shrader & Co., or Crutchfield & Co., would pay their assessments in the same way as other nandling charges, while independent shippers should send their assessments in to the \Florida Growers and Shippers’ League on a basis of fifty cents per acre of hearing grove. Quite a number jolned the League yesterday and those interested can get further information from G. E. Coogle and J. F. Crutchfield.
