Jess Willard has a decent streak in him—he saye he’ll never fight another negro. But perhaps his de- termination has more to do with prudence than decency. i) i ch =TT all the members of the legisla- ture were as conscientious and as anxious to do their full duty as the delegation from Polk, there would be no fedrs as to the outcome of the work of that body. We have three splendid men from this county at Tallahassee. P S 'Twas not unmeet that Friend ‘Wall should have been brought out to be groomed for his senatorial get- away at breakfast—that Rotary breakfast. He needed an early start to have any hope of competing with either Nat or Albert. The establishment of gol-luf links is the next stunt Lakeland will put over. While we cannot answer off- hand the difference between golf links and sausage links, we know its devotees play it with enthusiasm and a cap of large plaid pattern. ‘We have the enthusiasm and are ll‘- ranging for the cap. —_— The “Three R's” are sadly neglect- ed in present-day education—at least, two of them are. Witness the struggle one has to undergo to de- cipher the average manuscript, and the torture experienced by the au- ditors when at a public - gathering some one essays to redq 8loud a res- elution or other article, ~. We note the fact that Governor Park ‘'rammell celebrated bis 39th birthday on April 9th. Not yet 40, and occupying the highest office in his Stute, to which he has risen step by step—and aspiring now to a seat In the councils of the nation—his record may well serve as an exampie and inspiration to the young men of Florida and the nation. JUSRIRER AR, A negro porter employed by the Pullman company was testifying be- fore the government commission, and was asked what would be the eftect if an anti-tipping law was passed and the porter's wages not raised. He replied that “if a pas- senger with two dollars in his clothes got on, he wouldn't be safe.” Maybe we had better let this tipping business alone and save $1.75. It ‘1s' & hopeful indication of the intelligence and ‘patriotism of the members of the present legislature that the first joint resolution adopt- ed was one endorsing the adminis- tration .and policies of President Woodrow Wilson. A legislative ses- sion opening with such a sensible proceeding gives promise that the people will get good service from the solons. [ N—" The Lakeland-Loulsville| Colonels are'showing the good effects of training in the salubrious and stim- ulating atmosphere of this city, and are piling up victory on victory in a manner most gratifylng to their ad- mirers. Nothing like a sojourn in Lakeland to invest a man or organi- zation with the “pep” that accom- plishes things. The small contin- gent of our fellow-citizens into which you could squirt dope with a garden hose without moving them to any public-spirited activity mere- ly constitutes the exception that proves the rule. PR —— It {8 rather difficult for us plain United States folks to get the French point of view in some matters. Wit- ness the case of the young French officer whose wife was so devoted to him that she followed him to the front against the army rules; and, unable to get rid of his affectionate spousé, and fearing that he would ! be cashiered, the officer solved thel problem by shooting the lady. A French court not only acquitted the man, but shed tears over him, the wife apparently coming in for scant sympathy. The moral of all this ap- pears to be that wl\‘el should know wher they are de trof; and not be 80 darned hard to shake. et e Lloyd's offers to bet the war will end within three months; varions other eminent authorities concur 1 the opinion that the great stru~gle will soon be over, but ‘the Ocala Star gays No, and that settles it as far as we are concerned. We have found the Star better posted on matters connected with the war than the folks who have been writing from the scene of the conflict. concur in the opinion of the Star that peace may be made next winter, ‘but probably not before. Meantime, Jet's all talk business and in that connection, at least, forget there is @ war in progress. Hence we ' FIFTY YEARS AGO . AT APPOMATTOX Rev. R. A. Ward, of this city, was impressed with a recent editor- ial in the Evening Telegram, called | forth by the fiftieth anniversary.of Lee’s surrender. He appreciated the article as giving expression to:the sentiments of the South; and he hands us the following article from the Oswego (N. Y.) Times, as indica- tive of the present viewpoint of in- telligent Northerners: The fiftieth anniversary, April 9, of the surrender of Lee at Appomat- tox will not be observed much by public celebrations. It is one of the great historie events 'of American life. .Yet few northern men care to “rub in"” these memories. They can only have sympathy for their tragic declaration of the South. To the older people the:‘memories of thlt portentous day will never gr The gulf between the sect onl seemed as high as heav- en and as deep as hell, ghastly with 8 ruined homes and fortunes Yetitime heals all wounds. There are scars visible, but flowers have grown over the graves and the ruins. Perfect harmony can never be ex- pected between widely separated sec- tions of any lange country. The fact that differences exist does not prove that the relations are not cordial. The East and West have their sharp conflicts, almost as much as Eouth and North. A nation that spreads over so vast an expanse as the United States has many divergent interests to recon- cile. It can never be as harmonious as a small and compact country. It gains all the power and freedom of bigness, but it pays for it with the diversities of ideas and points of view. This diversities are often sharp, yet they need never be serious or threatening. If it was only possible for the great mass of the people to travel freely all over the country, friction. be- tween sections would be reduced to a small.minimum. Most of the dif- | terences referred to resuls from a lack of personal understanding of the people and problems of other sec- tions. The heroism of the two armies that finally joined hands at Appomattox is the joint heritage of all the peo- ple. Their endurance, and their daring are an expression of the ideal ism and determination of American) tharacter. Any man who had ai ai cestor on that field has a right to rejoice in the glory of his blood, re- gardless which side he fought on.

McLin, commissioner of agriculture for Florida, speaking lof the state in a recent bulletin, says: “Among the most profitable crops are tomatoes, beans, Irish po- tatoes, celery, cabbage, lettuce, pep- pers, and ezg plants. From the growing of each of these products thousands of people reap a rich re- ward for their labors every year, and many of them make a comfort- able fortune. Most, if not all, of these vegetables are grown in a sea- son of the year which enables them to command a monopoly of the mar- ket as well at prices.
