Semt anywhere for $1.00 per year LI et One hardly knows whether t leugh at the brazen assurance of it—its superlative nerve—~—or grow indignant at it as would perhaps better become a patriotic progressive Democrat pledged to rotrenchment and reform. We mean the publication of Frank Clark’s recent spread-eagle Tourth of July Ocala oration in the Congressional Record at the expense of the taxpayers of the United States who foot the bill for every line of type printed in that publication. se g As surprising as it may secmt there are no less than two volun- teer defenders among the press| of the State of the sentiments ex-| | Ohio, «crs have certainly won their spurs as successful newspaper publishers. Editor Carter says of .he new proprietor of the Me- tropolis: “Mr, McClellan is a aewspaper man of national rep- atation and stands high in the estimation . of financiers and of business men in Indiana and where he has had wide business experience for the past twelve years, and has been won- derfully successful in all of his ventures.” We welcome Mr. Mc- (Clellan to his new field of labor and wish him abundant success. e will find Floridd journalism in general and Jacksonville jour- salism in particular a lively sroposition without these lan- mid characteristics many people up the country as- ociate with the people and things of our scmi-tropical cli-| mate and as a trained newspaper man he will soon get his bearings | and be in the thick of it with the rest of us. There is nothing un- pleasantly provincial about Flor- ida journalism. Our editors, re- porters and publishers hail from all parts of the country and the only prescribed test is loyalty to Florida and good work to de- velop her incomparable re- sources.

CLOVGH TRlS =« Ut LIKELAD'S-> FIRST NENSPAPER A Mr. C. D. Clough, wao 8 one office and each subscriber of Lakeland’s earliest citizens, writes the following interesting ar- ticle relative to the early life of the Lakeland News, back in the 80's: “Progress is a great word. It has a meaning that amounts to ' something substantial. In this connection, being reminded of the Telegram’s splendid equipment, I recall that a little more than twenty-nine years ago the first newspaper of Lakeland saw the I'lizht of the world. It was Saturd:y. | June 10, 1888, when the inhabi- | tants were reminded that a real | newspaper had been born in Lake- I:nd, not one of those patent inside, or outside. via Atlanta, propodi- tions, but an all home-print. The town then boasted of about three or four hundred people, a ma- jority of whom were carpenters and other workmen who dume hore for | the purpose of applying the saw and hammer in building numerous shacks and small cottages, while oc- casionally a two story frame store building came in for some rotice. Vol. 1, No. 1 of the Lakeland News, D. W. D. Boulley publisher and L. M. Ballard editor was the wording of the upper portion of the front page, while a repetition of the came gentence graced the cecond or edi- torial page It was a four pafe af- tair. six columns, but the old press which probably interested General Lee or ueneral Grant in the sixties in printing the latest war news served to “get out the issue,” train in Florida in the winter sea- son, “late.” | times a week. nnd the writer was shoulders fell a large portion of the | the “devil” in the office upon whose | 1 might be able to git on @ three.' legged stool and call myself “we.’ When the paper was first issued the post-office departinent did mot see fit to grant the proprietors the privilege of the pecond class postage rate, hence the papers we;e pl::a:l n a table in the : » in a pile on a o’ through the pile to find his copy. The editor and the postmaster were @t loggerheads on account of the latter being appointed postmaster and was blamed solely for the paper not being among tke chosen class. A fight was narrowly averted one day when the postmaster called and demanded an apology for a red hot personal editorial about his attitude |in the “second class postage mat- | ter.” The timely interference of | printers and one or two loafers kept down the fight. In a few wecks the rate was sranted and the News kept up her course on the journaliztic s2a until a Washington hand pres3 was installed. When I see the up-to-date and ! modern machinery in the Telegram office I am reminded that in all the different lincs of progress in Lake- land 1 know of nothing greater than her newspaper advancement, and 1 hope to see the day come when the Telegram will make goo g00 eyes at the Tampa Tribune and Times- Union when it comes to news ser- vice nnd national reputation among her many relatives. c.
