Another Adams, Hough & How- ard success is coming to the Audi- torium, March 18. It is the gor- geous musical fantasy, “The Prince of Tonight.”” The scenes are laid at Palm Beach, Florida, and the Delft- wood Forest in the land of the Moon. Bitter Plaint, Being without money and friends, the accused was assigned an attorney by the court. Despite his lawyers efforts a conviction resulted. Calling the convicted man before him, the judge asked: “Have you anything to say before I pass sentence?”’ “Yes, your honor. It looks to me like some people around here—naming no names —are in caboots. I'm not forgetting who inflicted that lawyer on me.” Medicine of the Future. The medicine of the future will be deeply concerned with the distribution and conditions of work in the com- munity. The three great foundation stones of national health and efficiency BIG AUCTION SALE OF LOTS TAKES PLACE MONDAY The big auction sale of the Webster & Omohundro Estate lands is creating a great deal of attention all over the State, par- ticularly in Polk county, and is the biggest sale of high class lands ever attempted at auction in_the State. The lands are without doubt some of the best to be found in this county, compnsmg all that can be desired in grove lands, farm lands and truck lands— quality, elevation and closeness to shipping stations. A big barbecue dinner, under the supervision of Mr. T. B. Hendrix, will be a feature of the entertainment furnished to all attending the sale. Operations will begin Mponday, March 8th, at 10 o'clock, with the sale of 200 town lots located in the northwest part of the city—out Florida avenue to North street, thence west to the property. The Carolina Development Co., of Greensboro, N.

EVENING TELEGRAM TO GIVE VOTES ON ALL CASH PAYMENTS From this date the Evéhing Tele! gram will give votes in the Majestic theater contest on all cash job printing and advertising, alsd on all accountg paid. Votes will be given on the same basis as all other mer- 'chants in this contest. For subscriptions, however, we of- fer unusual inducements, as every else. Thus, a year's subscription to the Evening Telegram carries with it 15,000 votes; a yearly subscrip- tion to the Lakeland News, 4,500 dollar paid in this way counts as much as three paid for anything votes; and so on. We have been compelled to dis- continue the daily coupong that ap- peared in the Telegram, as in many instances the papers were robbed of these coupons before they reachea the subscriber, and the plan was otherwise unsatisfactory. Cash sales of the paper carry 100 votes fo: each paper purchased. Subscribers who pay weekly can pressed at the next session of the|stand and pull the strings of this legislature will be that providing for | gigantic production. The costuming which is of innum- compulsory education of children of scholastic age in this State. In view of peculiar conditions here there are reasons for and against such a law in Florida, although the general principle is sound. The Telegram recently suggested that local option was a way out of the difficulty, by which each county would be permit- ted to settle the questions for itself. The Arcadia News is strongly op« posed to this, and as the is=ne should be freely discussed in vi the proposed legislation, we the thoughtful article of the News on that subject: ““We are heartilv in favor of com. pulsory attendance for we person- ally know of its worth, but the local option process is not what is needed, and if such an act is passed, it will be a loitd time, if ever, before it can possibly produce the rvesuits that a State-widt jaw can accomplish. “Vhat is needed is a law that gives the school officers the right to re- quire the attendance of all children, who should attend. Under existing conditions in this State much must necessarily be left to the discretion of the teachers and officers. The conditions in Florida are not unlike those in other States that have ob- tained good results when admin< istered in a common sense Wway. There is nothing drastic in the state wide law that has been pre= pared, its general provisions have i in this state. The first year showed an increased average attendance of more than twenty-five per cent, and its the people unanimous in proval.” ap- President wnson is doubtless heartily glad to have Congress off his hands, for the war in Europe and steering this huge neutral na. tion so that the ship may avoid dis- astrous contact with the increasing difficulties of the situation are quite enough to give one president all he wants to do, in addition to the heavy " routine duueQ of hia office. . ” Replying to a paragraph in the Telegram that the prospect was not hopeful for any reform in our judi- clal procedure as recommended by ' Governor Trammell, the Ocala Star says: “Best way to reform this abuse is to stop sending so many lawyers to the legislature. It ig with this as it 18 with everything else—the peo- ple can have what they want when they make a determined and sus- tained effort to obtain it.” The trouble is that only the law- yers have the technical skill needed to do the technical part of construct- ing the laws, and a legislature with- out them might be long on. patriot. ism and sood intentions but woeful- 1y short on “drawing bills” that would stand the constitutional test. Yt might be practicable to educate a epecial class in this country for the duties of statesmanship which would have all the technical knowl~ edge required, without any tempta- been tested and found successful in a southern state where practically the same racial conditions exist as tion to pervert that knowledse to selfish professional or class ends. President Wilson is a very good in- stance of that class of statesmen. Making laws is one of the highest ‘ forms of skilled labor, but under our American system we have no pro. vision for specially educating the skilled laborers for the work, with the result that both Congress and our leglslatures are made up for the ‘ { most part of men without training for their duties. who operate our great industrial and transportation systems, our en. gineers and big mechanigians = erally, were selected on that |\r|n('| ple—what a mess we would have it! On the 27th of this month it will have been just 402 years since Ponce de Leon discovered Florida. Prob- ably he stumbled on it by accident and we are not informed by history, record or tradition that he made much use of his discovery; but it was a good day's work all the same, the best Ponce ever put in, and his perpetual memory is entitled to bonor in coneequence.
