Subsidies are very unpopular in this day and genera- tion. i SRS Rt George Ade, professional humor< ist, wasn't the least bit funny in his speech at the Rotary breakfast in Tampa, as reported by the papers, but he talked with excellent good sense about the advantages of Flor} ida. George has the making of ai fine booster in him, and Powell over at Clearwater ought to induce him to buy an orange grove down here and bocome one of us. L —_— Gentlemen proposing to run for office in Florida will find an ad. mirable and timely suggestion in the following from the Gainesville Sun: “Aspirants for office should not press their claims until the latter part of the present year at the earli-{, est. The legislature will soon be in session, and this is sufficient afflic- tion for the people to bear for the next six months PRl IR —_— Tampa ‘“‘done herself proud” and}| pulled oft her Gasparilla Carnival.in highly creditable style. Tamps is some town and South Forida ia well satisfied with her metropolis. With such a community as Lakeland near by her to keep her on the jump for fear that we may overtake:Ner and depose her, Tampa will continue to grow and stay a fatr distnce ahead of us. if the policies of some of the hot- heads in the country, including al. leged statesmen as well as ‘‘great editors,” should prevail, this country would blunder ints war in iess than three months. - There never was a time morg than now when the whole people should rise above party spirit and give the president their united mora] support to gtrengthen him un- @er the tremendous load he carries. FURER Y NERE A League of Florida municipali~ ties that would enable the mayors of the various cities to meet at reg- ular intervals to discuss the science of city government, and suggest new methods and remedies for existing defects, would be a good thing, and steps to that end were taken the other day in Tampa. The various mayors attending the carnival there met and agreed to organize such a league and a call will be sent out to all the mayors in Florida to meet] in Tampa on May 6 to perfect the organization. One of the strong papers of Ohio that carries weight and stands for the opinions of a large proportion of the people of that State is the Cleveland Plaindealer and that pa. per says that “the people of the United States never had greater faith in Woodrow Wilson than at the present moment.” The Lord must have thig republic in-His spe- cial keeping, for at the most critical yperiod of its history since the civil war the man by wisdom, tact, cour- age and temperament best fitted to pilot the ship safely through the perils of a menacing neutrality, is at the helm, —— H A well organized eftort will be made during the approaching ses. sion of the legislature to enact a law providing for a State highway commission as a permanent body that shall have charge of public yoad building in this State. We have seen but little discussion of the merits of this measure in the press and it would seem from its wvery nature that expert opinions Yonly wonld have much valve. The sy As the negro has confessed and is willing to take his medicine, and ev- THEY ALL DEMAND IT erybody else is extremely willing Lakeland, Like Every City and Town that he should, the law over in Put- nam county, having a clear track ahead, with no technical obstruc - tions, ought to try for a record .in hanging the murderer of the Gard. ner brothers just as soon as possible. He has the chances of steel saws and a happy escape if he lies In jail for a few months, and to avoid this calamity “f l"lfid\ apead”’ should be the liu&n\}_ ;;\hmi — The Rotary press’ breakfast in Tampa yesterday may have been dedicated to wit, humor, nonsense and bodinage, but George Ade, the famous humorist, got in some harse sense with he horse-play when he said: “l have been in many places where they keep regular boarders, but you folks here in Florida have the only country in the world with- in 48 hours of the great middle west where the people can fine respite from the rigors of winter. It is a tremendous asset. You have no idea how many people will come to you with the proper urging.” PESSIEE EE The St. Petersburg Times throws out an elegant little hint and affirms a great truth at the same time in the following: “The Jacksonville Metropolis brags that Governor Trammell ap- proves of the State fair proposition. Sure. We all do. But what if the governor should want it held at Lakeland? Which, by the way, would be a better place for it than Jacksonville.” FOR SALE—Lakeland restaurant pnd lunch room, two doors east of postoffice.

When one suffers the tor- tureg of*an aching back, relief is eagerly sought for. There are many rem;;diel today that relieve, but do not cure. Doan’s Kidney Pills have brought lasting results to thousands. Here is Lakeland evidence of their merit: . Frank Ulmer, South Florida St., Lakeland, says: “My back ached and I had a heavy feeling across my loins tht kept me in misery. I knew that my kidneys were not acting right, as 1 had to pass the kidney secre- tions every little while. 1 did not pay much attention to the trouble at first, but it kept getting worse and and when some one suggested | that 1 try Doan's Kidney Pills, I did. 1In two days I could see al change for the better. Before I had finished one box, I was completelyl cured.” i Price 50c at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy— get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same Ulmer had.
