Publicity is an effective agency to root out grafters and stop grafting, and if the proof is clear in any instance that remedy should be relentlessly applied. Our public school ‘system was not intended to breed politicians and it should be kept entirely apart from politics.

Nowadays boys four and a half feet tall, weighing perhaps a hundred pounds, are ofter seen gaily driving a forty-horse-power car through a crowded street. Through luck more than anything else perhaps, there are not a great many accidents, but the law recently passed in Lakeland is a good one none the less.” 7, A The Telegram recently said that William Randolph Hearst was not himself a thrilling writer but had & special gift for hiring the boys who could do that kind of work. To this the Jacksonville News replies: “Quite the contrary. Mr. Hearst {8 as strong a writer as any man on his staff, and much of the best edi- torial stuff appearing in the Hearst publications has been written by Mr, Hearst himself, while the public gen- erally has given the credit to some of Mr. Hearst's brilliant staff. Mr. 8. 8. Carvalho is the man in the Hearst organization who puts down the John Hancock that calls the ma- zuma from its dark cells and puts it in the hands of the newspaper toil- ers." Of course we defer to the more specific knowledge on the subject of the writer of the above who is prob- ably a graduate from one of the Hearst newspapers and s sure| of his facts; but we didn't say that' Mr. Hearst was not a stronz writer, | our only contention bheing couldn’t put the thrills into his pe-| riods like John Temple thur Brisbane, et al. We aware of the fact that Mr. Hearst | knows how to express himself in ex- cellent Fnglish and that he has a head full of valuable but it takes executive ability, not brilliant writing, to achieve the wonderfu] are ideas, success that has ecrowned the work of | Mr. Hearst in journalism and if he had relied on his writing to win his present prominence he would have been without special distinction and not nearly so well fixed.

Here is something to the point well said by the Orlando | Sentinel: “It is a noticeable fact that many cof the farmers of the northwest who come to Florida on a prospecting tour, begin at once to compare the isoil of Florida with that of their own locality, entirely from the standpoint of its probable yield of wheat. They look at the Florida sand and then think of the black loam of their Have you tried cur Hot northern farms and shake their heads in a doubtful manner as to the pros- CO“GO. setved plping hOt pects of goining a living from that Wlth pure Jersey cream kind of soil.
