Doubtless no sadder gang of po- litical derelicts ever met in thic country than the remnants of the /late Proeressive party in Chicago Aesterday to take counzel for the ‘future. Like its leader, the party has petered and both are negligible. 0 /An Alabama murderer, on the jump from justice, got tired of the discomforts and uncertain connec- tions of his itinerary In the swamps and mountaing and committed sui- cide one day last week. What a noble example to the other members of our large and flourishing colony of murderers, and what a manly re- buke to the sneaking, runty little technicalities of the law, that might have saved him had he employed a sharp lawyer to invoke them_ il Charles M. Schwab is one of the leading steel’ manufacturers of the world, and steel is the barameter [which tells the fact of good or bad times in the country. Mr. Schwab has recently returned from Europe and he says ‘we are going to have from now on ten years of almost un- _.exampled prosperity in the United ‘States. Such a statement from this bractical man of big business out- weights all the jeremiads of hard times preached by the croakers. — That indefatigable tourist, Hon. Andrews, late treasurer of Bradford county, under indictment for em. bezzlement, has returned from his latest health excursion, Cuba this J}lme, and is again reposing peaceful- ly in jail at Starke. 1f Andrews had been as considerate of the hard times and difficulty of getting hold of ready money as he should have been, he would have permitted some of the gentlemen in pursuit to have copped the generoug rewards offered for him and not have sneaked back to jail without their assistance. Hon. Andrewg may be an embezzler but he is certainly no altruist, —— e ITS ADVICE WAS PREMATURE While we are a long way from the cave-man and his destructive meth- ods with a club or whatever other crude weapon he could first lay hands on to glay his enemies with, we are also a long way from those Utopian days where the lion and the lamb shall be on friendly terms and men shal] no longer quarrel and fight and seek each other's blood. Current events in Europe and the crime record in this country prove this clearly enough and until it is otherwise the Orlando Sentinel is premature in its advice that “boys should not possess firearms of any sort, kind or condition.” : Undoubtedly there should be wise parental regulation in such cases and the law against concealed weap- ong should be enforced but with con- ditions as they are in this world the boy should know how -to handle a gun, for he is father to the man and there is no telling when the latter may be called on to defend his home and family with something more effective than his fists. And, moreover, there ouzht to be firearms ready for use ine every home and the girls should be taught to shoot as well as the boys. Nor does this offer any excuse for the sportive idiots who point “emp.- ty” gung at others and play with deadly weapons. Rather should it have the opposite effect, and every member of the family taucht to consider the subject with law-abid- ing seriousness and good sense and made to understand that gung and pistols are the aids to law and order and for the defense of life, and not the tools of the Yawless pistol- toter, the hoodlum and the thought- . less kid. : ‘The fool boy who kills another by enapping a gun in his face ig gen- erally less morally responsible than . the fool father who has not warned " him against such folly and made his | warning too impressive to be for- | gotten. Civic Pride PROTRR TR PR (Board of Health Bulletin) L L The front yard is a pretty good index of the kind of people that live! in the house. It's a fairly accurate | '‘prophecy of the conditions you are going to find in the yard behind the house, and a clean back yard usually | means good sanitary conditions through the entire establishment. Good looks count. First impres- ! sions are hard to get away from. Florida, in proportion to its pop. ulation, probably has more visitors the year through, than any other | state in the Union. A good many of these visitors every year are mak- ing their first trip to this part of ! the Southland, and how many of ! them are not disappointed by their first glimpses? A very large share of the railroad . stations in Florida, in the big cities: and the little ones alike, are about : the most uninviting spots in town. Broken boxes and barrels, pieces of lumber, bits of orange peel or su- 2ar cane and a thou:and other va- | rieties of more or less disgusting re- fuse, are scattered about, and the place looks like a—well, it is not what it should be. These railroad gtations are the front yards to our cities and they ghould be made at- | tractive. They reflect credit or| blame on the people who live there, Of coursefi the railroad companies | are responsible for these conditions, but it's a long way from some little station to the general manager's of_ isn't very much concerned how the alating by the people of the town fice somewhere far away, and he station and yard at Podunk are kept. The station agent is sup- posed to keep things neat and clean. This agent’s ideas of what is clean and neat may not be very highly developed and they may need stim- | | | i | who have some glimmering remain., der of local pride and some concep- | tion of the value of first impres- sions, to say nothing of low health( and death rates, | Some cities in Florida, a few of { them, have energetic women, whoi have extended their efforts for neat- ness beyond their own homes into! public places. It's a pity more Flor- ida towns haven't organizations of energetic women with these inclina- tions. Some of these cities have an annual spasm, which they call “Clean-Up Day.” They line up the school children and show them what to do, and the town is hardly rec- Iocognizablo for three or four days or a week. But it hag a quick re- | lapse and does not recover until an- paq taken four hoxes, T was rid of Same in peas and hay, not fig- ¢ Since then 1 have not ured. | Our Store is Too Small I For us to keep all our |! | Christmas Stock properly displayed at one time ) ]psf now we are giving Special Attention to our beautiful Linefof Christmas Decorations Booklets Cards Tags, Seals, etc. It is best to make your selection while the Stock is Fresh and Complete | The Book Store (lizence or criminal cgrelessness and iindifference ."supply of any community. jam in good health.” other spasm strikes some one a year later and the attacks spreads. Why not clean up and stay clean? Nearly every town in Florida would get used to it—the town philoso- phers who ornament the grocery front would come to appreciate it and brag about it—and the result would be a boost, an advertisement. It would be so unusual in Florida {that the reputation would spread far and fast. But civic pride should not be confined to appearances. Without neglecting them, it should extend to the healthfulness of the town. Good sanitation is about the first step toward securing general health- 'fulness, and in many places the lo- cal health authorities are inactive. The lack of an abundant supply of " . i almost every part of Florida. .\a-| ture has done here part. Man has' neglected his, and either mere neg- have destroyed the chances for even normally good con- 'ditions. The same is true about the milk People don’t have to use poor milk or water . if they don’'t want to. They can: have the pure article if they will!: demand it and make effort to get' it. There should be civic pride in | sanitation as well as in zood looks ' and first outside impressions, but such pride is not general in Florida vities. Civie pride is an unknown quantity in a majority of the places where railroad trains make rezular stops in this state, and it ig time | for these towns to wake up and get busy. Let them make a real start and see what it will lead to. A LAKELAND MAN'S EXPER- IENCE Results Tell The Tale. | | g |good water is the fault of man in!
