Advice to the Jacksonville Me- tropolis: Keep cool, curb your mar- tial spirit and plant a hen. 5 SRR G © We gather from our reading that Tampa has two pretty good newspa- pers, the names of which are “The Grouch.” —0 We've been telling you all along that this is a good Legislature. So far only nine laws of a general na- ture have been passed, and if this rate is kept up until adjournment, which is drawing a man may still kiss his wife on Sunday with- out going to jail for it. PO S Sl There are one or two little things we might have su sted as ime provements to that note to Germany. They forgot to put at the end of it “Excuse poor writing and bad spell- ing,” and they should have wound it up with “Trusting to hear from you elegram Entered in the postoffice at LakeA' | by return mail.” But we guess Woodrow wrote “in haste” on the envelope, ) g 3 i Of course, if the State is divided, as proposed in the joint resolution : presented to the Legislature yester- p day, Lakeland’'s pre-eminent fitness for becoming the capital of the new Florida is so obvious that the natur- al and proper thing would be to give her the distinction by common con« sent. We are already speculating as to how it would affect us to have a Legislature in our midst. 0 The president of the Florida Press Association wires the President of the United States that the Florida q press will back him up in peace or 4 war, whatever he decides. You're shouting, Chris! Dog our cats, as a certain Bartow editor used to say, “We have always been ready to apologize or fight—and we've never had to fight yet.” / P SRS The tolerant and humane spirit of the American people, as well as its thoroughly homogenous charact- er, is evidenced by the fact that, with the large German population in this country, there have been practically no racial disturbances at- tendant upon the feeling of indig- nation engendered by the sinking | of the Lusitania. In England, it is : different, and there have been many outbreaks of race hatred. From the widely dissimilar elements that go into the American melting pot there comes forth the best in character and citizenship that the world pro- duces today. COE e e Notwithstanding Rube Allyn’s proffer of his services to Governor Trammell, the latter does not com- mit Florida to war in his reply to the request by the Associated Press for a statement. The Governor's statement pretty accurately reflects the sentiment of the popl of the State. He says: “At this time of disturbance and unsettled opinion, I do not think I should give out any- thing that might be construed as the views of my State when the coun- try is waiting something definite to h base its conduct on; especially since I have implicit confidence in the President, who, surrounded by his advisors is in close touch with the situation and will, I believe, handle it in the way that will best redound to the true, and therefore bhest terests of the country."” S i One of our exchanges remarks, in connection with the charge of drun- kenness against one legislator at Tallahassee, that 25 years ago the same change might with equal truth have been made against practically all the members. That drunkenness is decidedly on the decrease among all classes and conditions of men is a gratifying certainty. Every per- son who has reached middle age can remember that when young, in his or her home town, there were a number of habitual drunkards, and that intoxication was a very com- mon thing among the people. Con- in- have been brousht about by educative forces. liquor seems to be dying out to a great extent, and on the whole there is a marked falling off in the gen- cause of temperance, through won 1f Lakeland should become the capital of one of the new States to be created by division, th re would be no such scandalous ports of drunkenness as have emanated from Tallahassee. The superb Lakeland water leaves nothing to be desired in the way of a beverage, and it can be secured in unlimited quantities M. F. HETHERINGTON, x'-"m'"m"anrl unsealed packages. A legislator who, having tasted it, would prefer booze, is fit only for treason, strata- $5.00 l cem and spoils, and should be sen- L 2'5? tenced to transfer to Tallahassee. e + MAY 15 IN HISTORY 1834—The life of George Waching ton, compiled by John MNar- shall from his own maau- serips, was published simul- taneously in Englant and America.

When one makes a German step off the walk, she regards it as a person- al triumph. The silent boycott of the Germans by the Belgians is even more open- ly maintained than ever, according to a traveler who has lately lived in the capital city. 1f a German sits down at a table in a cafe, the Bel- gians in his vicinity move away. If lnw Belgians pay their accounts and stalk out. The traveler relates this inci?ent which he witnessed: A German officer, evidently or high rank, entered a restaurant and, after looking over the card, asked the waiter discontentedly, ‘“Haben | Sie nichts besser?" The waiter, in a sarcastic explained they had nothing better tecause the German government had seized most of the food and very little was coming in except on the | American relief ships. A group of young Belgians nearby jthe young people. laughed openly at the walter’s sar- | casm, whereupon the German, of- fended, gave his card to the waitét to hand to them. The card bore the name of a general. But instead of being silenced, one of the Belgians asked the waiter imprudently, “Ha- ben Sie nichts besser?” The German force in Belgium has positive orders not to molest the population, but on the contrary to try by politeness to take the edge of | the hostility off the people. But instead of yielding to blandishments the Belgians only become the bolder in manifesting their hatred to the invaders. The upper classes in Brussels nev- er receive a German into their homes.

A large number of German women of doubtful reputation have followed the army, and if a German officer ap- pears on the street with a woman, she may be of this class but never a Belgian. The German government has taken many war films in Bel- gium for exhibition in Germany. One of these films represents an of- ficers' ball in Brussels, with the idea of proving the bitterness of the war has passed away. But the people of Brussels say the women shown in the film were the German habitues of the cafes and not Belgian women. Brussels is now filled with young German aristocrats occupying civil posts. It is said that they are of ten the only sons left in their fam« ilies as the result of the war. Con- sequently the government has spared them in order to perpetuate their titls. Since the German army is of- ficered solely by aristocrats, th up- per classes would be otherwise in danger of dying out. Belgians report that the allies’ air- craft keep the railways on the Ger- man side of the front so badly torn up with bombs that the civil popu- lation feel it is unsafe to travel by train. When they can obtain pass- es, they go by horse. STATE AUDITOR BUILDING AND LOAN DEPARTMENT OF I0WA WRITES MR- WILLARD Mr. M. G. Willard, secretary of the Lakeland Building & lLoan, has received the following letter from the auditor of the building and loan department of the State of Indiana: Mr. M. G.
