HETHERINGTON, EDITOR SUBSCRIPTION RATES Rix months .. Three months ...... o Delivered anywhere within the limits of the City of Lakeland for 10 cents a week. From the same office is issued THE LAKELAND NEWS, A weekly newspaper giving a resume of local matters, crop conditions, connty affairs, etc. Sent anywhere for $1.50 per year. — e There probably won’t be any con- stitutional amendment submitted to test the sentiment of Florida on the woman suffrage question by the leg- islature which met today; but there will be a bunch of mighty bright women at Tallahassee to urge it, and some of them will have 80 much more gumption than some of the men who will decide the issue that a cynic might find material for some very cutting remarks on the ex- isting order of things. e ) ik In view of the summary abolition of the liquor traffic in Russia, by de- cree of the Czar and {ts probable abolition or curtailment in England by act of parliament a contempor- ary is led to observe: “Who would have thought last August that this war would resolve itself in the greatest temperance crusade in the history of the world, that the needs of the battlefield would have shattered centuries-old customs which were supposed to be an inherent weakness of the nations observing them.” PAGHISIESS The Telegram remarked quite awhile ago that Cary Hardee, of Suwannee county, had a habit of getting what he went after and as he was going after the speakership of the House at Tallahassee he was very likely to include it among his possessions at the proper time. It happened last night in the caucus and Forrest Lake, Mr. Hardee's only competitor, took the count by a vote of 59 to 14 and today the suave gen- tleman from Suwannee will preside over the deliberations of the House. Of course he has further ambitions in Florida politics—but that is an- other story. —_——— The Ocala Banner wants to know it Chris Codrington was elected president of the State Press Assocla- tion as a reward for his total absti- nence from editorial expression in his DeLand News. Certainly not. He was elected in spite of it, his eminent fitness in all other respects being 8o clearly recognized by hls brethren of the Association. now that he has been thus honored we are daily looking for a change| of heart in him and we tear the wrapper from the News in almost nervons haste to see if it has arriv- el. Ho has the symptoms and we | count on the eruption of editorial ' opinfon as only a matter of time. ! Qi The Florida edition of the In- dustrial Tndex, published at Colum- bus, Ga.,'ts a fine one, full of much | good matter concerning this state, its resources and development, but | it would have been very much bet- ter than it is if it had given more than & brief paragraph to Lake- 1and, the most beautiful and progres- sive interior city in the State. iamlet, with the prince of Denmark | ¢ left out, would be a badly propor- tioned drama, and & pretentious write-up of Florida, with Lakeland omitted, is lacking in the same way. South Florida minus Lakeland would dreadfully shock the popular sense of the fitness of things down | this way, and we extend our condol- ence to the Industrial Index on the yawning hiatus in its Florida edi- tion. That was a mightly satistactory plece of news from Havana in the Telegram last evening, and we don’t doubt that those brethren of the Florida press who denounced the match and even went so far as to hope that Willard would get llcked because he disgraced himself fighting the “abysmal brute of thq black race” are glad in their secret hearts that they didn’t wish. The only real value to the ‘public in the result of the fight ‘which sent Jack Johnson to the dis- card is that there are ten or twelve million negroes in this country of highly emotional temperament who will be saved from some absurdly false and hurtful concrusions con- cerning the relations and merits of the two races that would have pos- sessed them to had the megro won. Of course no question of racial sn. premacy was involved, but that de-l lusive notion was entertained by the least desirable and most turbulent | members of the black race, and the | result at Havana will cool them off and give them a better point of view. Jack Johmson's fistic supremacy s responsible for many “bad niggers”: in this country who made troume| dbetween the races, and now that | ‘Willard has reduced swelling in Jack there will be a ke reduction in the ranks of his dusky followers. get their l the offensive | ‘We congratulate the editors of the 8t.

The climate in the newspaper world is capricious, and like that in the world of nature, storms are sure to come at times; but when they blow themselves out the atmosphere 1is better than before, the miasma and malaria of misunderstandings and irritations has been swept away and improved conditions are the result. Lew Brown, of the Independent, and Willis Powell, of the Sum, are two of the best newspaper men in Flor- ida; their papers are high-grade and welcome visitors to the exchange tables of their contemporaries and we are glad that the bitterness of personal journalism has‘passed from their columns. 00—y STATEBORO MINISTER GETS REAL HELP Rev. J. Powell Tells How He Found New Strength to Give to His Labors. Rev. J. Powell of Statesboro, Ga, suffered from stomach troubles so seriously that they affected his work. He struggled on under the handi- cap as best he couldhardly realizing, perhaps, just how much his sickness was hurting him. One day he learned of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy. He took tHe first dose—then decided to take the full treatment. He wrote: ‘Since using the six bottles of your wonderful remedy I feel like another man. It has been quite a wonder to me to know hew one could chave a stomach disease like mine and live and do the work 1 did. T just escaped the operating table. ‘‘Now I can eat what I please and it doeen’t hurt me night or day.” Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives permanent results for stomach, liv- er and intestinal allments. Eat as much and whatever you like. No more distress after eating, pressure of gas in the stomach and around the heart.
