There is no questign i that Lakeland has the type of m er a great commercial organization, and that the only difficulty is to get their attention in a matter of this kind. That in a rapidly growing country there is room and actual need of co-operative effort, will not be denied by any one. That our community has neglected its oppor- tunities in the past in some respects by not getting together in a busi- ness-like way to accomplish them is equally true. Throughout the country, business men in recent years have been giv- ing more attention to business and community building through co-op- erative efforts. They have acquired the habit of looking ahead far into. the future and studying tendencies with the view of preparing for that future far in advance. It is such men with vision that are building up the great business houses amd the great cities. Give a city men with vision and a spirit of co-operation, and that city need not have natupal advantages. Such men will build a city in spite of handicaps. Chicago is one of the greatest ex- .amples of this fact. Pew men would have decided upon Chicago as the place for the metropolis of the mid- dle west. It is not much more than a swamp, and in order for the rail- ‘roads to reach it they had to turn up around Lake Michigan for quite a distance. Besides there was no harbor of any value. Down at San- dusky or at other points, cities were already in existenee with fine natur- al harbors, with great markets and shjipping tradei} alrepdy, created. There was no reason for a city at the mouth of: the. Chicago rives, But the ‘T WHI City"” had a spirit that other cities, lacked. Its little group of business men looked ahead and made things come to Chicggo: /They built a harbor, they persuaded Ahe railroads to turn aside from their l’u g00d newspaper, too, a credit to “{these days. §empted.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY HONORS Walter M. Chandler, Progressive, of New Yory city, was born in Miss- {ssippl; was educated at the Univer- sity of Virginia, Charlottesville, and at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; was a student, during two years, of history and jurisprudence at the Universities of Berlin and Heldelbgrg, Germany; has practiced law in New York city since 1900; is the author of the Trial of Jesus Of course, we really hope ! lacexpreasly ;exempted from attack y the terms of The Hague Convea- tion of 1907 has provoked an extra- ‘England. “Hang Admiral von Tir- -pitz!” is now the cry, and it has been taken up seriously by at least one liberal paper. .'l"he projec: seems remote and con- ‘dmonll at best, but apart from all {German threats of reprisals there ,are many objections to what seem- ed at first the more practical plan {of treating the commanders of sum- marines as pirates. If in these days ;of frequent provocation extravagant threats are occsionally heard, it | must not be forgotten that when it was possible to discuss questions of this kind in a more sober and specu- lative spirit Germany had so right- eous and so innocent an air that the situation existing today would hard- { were disposed to take her professions seriously. 1t was at The Hague Conference of 1907 that the German Chief Dele- gate, while cheerfully accepting certain provisions, protested azainst others as wholly superfluous and un- necessary for his countrymen. ““Con- sclence,” he said, common sense and the sense of duty imposed by prin- ciples of humanity will be the safest guide for the sailor’s behavior and will constitute the most efficacious guarantee against abuse. The offi- cers of the German navy, let me pub- licly affirm, will always fulfill in the strictest possible manner the duties which proceed from the unwritten law of humanity and civilization.” 1f this sounds a little odd today | it must in candor be admitted that the unwritten day has been quite as useful as the provisions of the con- ference.” THE GERMAN VIEW. By Hugo von Kleist The extremes to which the Eng- lish Government will go are well ll-l lustrated by the reward offered by the British Minister in Norway, M. ! de C. Findlay, for the assassination of the Irish Patriot, Sir Roger Case- ment. The English Government promised $25,000 immunity punishment and a free trip to the United States for the murder, ng- land evidently looks upon the United States as a penal colony, since she |offers to her prospective assassins ithe protection of the stars and stripes. Sir Roger Casement’s va- let indignantly refused the bribe wnd terned~the documentary- «evi- Florida Lands natural course, and they made that i city a distributing point. ..+ Chicago was a pioneer in creating An efficient commercial and civic or- . ::nlznuon for the benefit of the bus- ipess men and the pity. The Chicago | Association ‘of Commerce is one of . 4he great commercial bodies in the world.. It has egtablished exhibits of Chh:ngo-mldg'joods in foreign ports, and in working in a businefs . like Way to create a market in South America for goods made or sold by Chicago firms. It has a very interesting motto: “Nothing is too great for us to un- dertake and nothing- too small for us to do, if it will work for the good of Chicago.” Lakeland needs organization wllh: just such a spirit=-nothing too big for it to undertake, and nothing too small for it to do, #f it will work for the good of Lakeland. But the organization must be able to back up a motto. With its almost virgin back coun- try, its possibilities as a recreation, tourist and convention center and jdeal home city, and development along civic, mercantile, jobbing and industrial lines, there is a positve need here of the highest type of com- mercial organization. Without such, Lakeland can attain only a degree 9! its possibilities. One of the important purposes of thié new campaign on the part of the Board of Trade is to weld the community spirit in Lakeland. A “means that will be taken is the hringing into active co-operation at least the various organized bodies that are working along the same ‘general lines, all having to do with . 'the upbuilding of the city. A great- '4r membership, also, is wanted, and it will be attained partly by means, partly by evangelistic work on the part of the members among non-nreinbers. The new heads of the Board of Trade have started out well. They aim at the zradual accomplishment of big things for Lakeland and the Lakeland territory They should have the united backing and support | of the citizens. “Get ready for watermelons by | May 1, advises the Florida Grow ers’ News.
