We do not believe any'® igation can ever establish jus-} jon for this act of wholesale| murder; yet all good citizens should stand with the president in his en- deavor to steer the ship of State safely through the present turbulent waters. Great sacrifice of life on the part of our nation will not call back those who went down with the Lusi- tania. A grave crisis in our national be- ing is to be faced. God give to those in charge of our affairs wis- dom and courage to meet the situa- tion properly S, We note that some newspapers are taking the position that every coun- ty should endeavor to establish a system of good roads within iself, and entirely ignore the great main highway that it is designed shall come down through the State. The Telegram does not believe this idea is the best and broadest. A system of good roads within each county is very much to be desired; but there is nothing in such a system incon- sistent with making a portion of it form a link of the bg highway. We can't live to ourselves alone, and we want this great road to tra- verse our county, and allow travel- lers over it the privilege of seeing our splendid city. The Ocala Star, which has finally secured the Associated Press service, explains its action in changing over from another alleged service, as fol- lows: “Our reason for changing to the Associated Press is well under- stood by all newspaper men —the people put more dependence in its reports, and will take newspapers carrying them in preference to any other.” That's a pretty good reas- on, and if additional evidence were required, it is only necessary to compare the papers which have membership in the Associated Press with those which have not, in the way the Lusitania matter is being handled Morning papers without the service stated that the gers were saved.” Associated Press papers published at the same hour, told of the awful toll of life that had been taken. A telegraph serv- ice that “falls down” on a story of such supreme importance is worse than no service at all. —0 Why is it that just because a thing is so simple and obvious that a child in the primary grade can see it, and so necessary that every- one admits it should be dome, it just cinnot be done? We refer to the maintainance of roads. One team and one man could keep several miles of road in repair, if the work was begun before the road began to | deteriorate. The expense would be comparativly slight, the result would be a tremendous saving of labor and money A piece of splendid highway is constructed, and then it is let lie without atten-' tion until it becomes almost impass- ' ible.

Not so very long ago if a restaurant had a good chef with a receipt book it was sure of its good patronage when ; they began to introduce souvenirs. But the yearning for something new , broke out afresh.and then we had robust low-necked persons who from time to time rose from the table and sang such pieces as could be helped by boosting. From that we blossom! ed forth as turkey-trotter and other poultry orders. Now we are having tabloid musical shows and one-act dramas. With the necessity of se- curing tables in advance, there is the possibility of a new field for the sidewalk ticket speculator. evenings | tend ‘(‘olumns of this paper, and we think Cltrus Exchange To Meet Next | | Vo A contestant Iy buying of At The Churcher service Tomorrow At Tampa Myrtle St. lflhodm— e W.

He have advised and warned lho contestants about this buying of ! votes, numbers of times through the that we have done our duty. We wish to state in all fairness that we have had complaints against nearly every contestant, all of which we are compelled to overlook. The con- test is drawing to an end, and it is our advice that all get out and work for themselves, and pay no attention to rumors and reports. We are here merely as employes of the Majestic theater, to manage the contest, which we are doing to the best of | our ability, and, needless to say, im- partially. These reports and rumors have had a demoralizing effect on the contest, therefore we advise that each contestant attend strictly | to her own interest, map out her own campaign, work hard to suc- ceed, and hope that her fellow con- testants are doing the same.

"It is in good demand among the pa- trons of these places, because, they assert, each drink has a good “kick" in it. It is in good demand among the patrons of these places, as we have said before, but the police have their eye on these illegal dispensers of the invigrating ‘‘coffee royal,” and they expect to make them obey) the excise law. Hindrance to Progress. Nothing so hinders us in what we are doing as to be longing after some- | thing else; in so doing, we leave off tilling our own field, to drive the plow through our neighbor’s land, where we must not look to reap a harvest; and this is mere waste of time. If our thoughts and hopes are elsewhere; it is impossible for us to set our faces steadily towards the work required of us.—St. Francis de Sales. ith this invasion | weok at theater we will defer stand- ing until Thursday, May ports must be in on May 12.
