DOES CRITICISM OF BRYAN IMPLY CORPORATION CONTROL? | The statement in the Ocala Star that those newspapers which eriti- cized the recent amazing “break” of Secretary Bryan in leaving his great office at a critical time to go oft through the country on a private money-making enterprise are “with a few notable exceptions, like the New York World and the Tampa Tribune,” of the corporation-con. trolled press, deserves some atten- tion. The Telegram was, we believe, the first paper in Florida to criti- cize Mr. Bryan’s actlon in this matter, and what we saild was writ- ten immediately after seeing the dispatch, which merely stated that weeks’ lecture tour. To our mind the conclusion was instant and fir- resistible that the secretary of Btate had made a serious mistake, and with genuine regret we wrote what we did for we profoundly ad- mire that great man_ as every read- er of the Telegram knows, and only in the discharge of a clear duty as we saw it, to csiticize and com- ment on currert events, did we eall attention to | publie and private service. We felt sure that he could not escape widespread reproof regard. less of party, and the sincerity of this renroof, comine from Demo- cratic papers «ll over the country, fs In marked controst with many of the labored svecial pleas made in Mr. Bryan's behalf by papers which seem to think that he must be de-! | as he is certainly a vulgar, low-bred fended, right or wrong, merely be- cauz: he is Willlam J. Bryan. We don’t know and want to believe that the Ocala Star included the Telegram in its sweep- ing refercnce to “corporation-con. troiled” papers as being with few ! exceptions the only critics of Mr. Bryan's actions, for we should dis- like to think that a contemporary which we supposed both just and friendly could utter a slander so gratuitcus and baseless. We are at least entitled to a disclaimer from the Star if it includes tl\lsx paper in its ist of those not controlled by cor- porition influences. No rewspaper, great or small in America today is less obnoxious to the charge of bein “corpora’ion.controlled” than the Lakeland Telecram, and no pol- | fey it hos ever advocated mor any line printed in its columns coull Justify or excuse the inference that it was. The Tamana Tribune quotes from & rumber ¢t Demorcrati¢c papers in and out ¢f Florida, including the Telegram,, all criticizing Mr. Bry- an's course and adls: “These quo- tations are taken at random from we don't ! : gentlemay and the blood of a fight- he had left Washington on a slxl‘m‘lsm‘ 'such a large amount in such a cause of self.government is not in peril | nor on trial, but the signs are in- creasing that the methods of its ap- plication are to be changed. The demands for increased effi- ciency are almost clamorous and the American pcople are not even mild- ly shocked at the new thought of commission government for the States. It is beginning to receive attention, and that it is to be tried out in the forum of public discus- sion is practically sure. We remcmber the time years ago when Editor Jordan ef the Punta Gorda Herald propos~d the abolition of the Legislature ani he did it se- riously. General derision and good humored railery were his portion as a conscquence, but his suggestion meets with a more respectful hear- ing now. So many recvolutionary changes in human methocs lie in the womb of the futurc that none of us may safely say what wiil and what will no* be. The growing re- volt in this country against the ev- er-incringing mass of laws we are piling up, many of them conflicting, undesirab’e ane useless, with the consequent difficulty of enforcement, will certainly result in rome form of { relief befcre many years. If commission government {8 the needed remedy for the weaknesses and ahuse of municipal administra. tion, why will not the principle hold good for a larger application—even to the government-of the State? PR Major Butler of the Inverness Chronicle, says that if he can rustle up a cooking kit and the walking is good his presence -can be counted on at the next annual session of the State Press Association at Fort My- ers. And we know another old-timer who believes in the simple life, am- ple ventilation and homs cooking who will be glad to join the Major on that trip and surprise the high collars ard 1ighbrows of the Press Association with a glimpse of two primitive beautics of Florida jour- -0 Hillsborough county votes next Tuesday on the question of & mil- lion dollar bond issue for brick roads in that county. We await the result with much interest, for voting would be the biggest thing that has happened for good roads in Florida and it would stimulate the movement 1is strange confusion of | those which come to our desk. The Ocala Star will not assert that these papers are owned and dictated to by corporation influences. It owes them and many other papers an apology.” Now whzt has the Star to say? PSSRy WSS PERHAPS IT IS ON THE WAY An Atlanta dispatch rays that the Georgia Lezislature has been in session five weeks and has not passed a single measure of general importance.
