P e A A o The Miami Metropolis continues to hammer away on one of its old- time favorite themes—a new con- stitution for Florida. So far as we can observe there is a dead calm in | the state of public sentiment on that issue, which would not be the case | if there were any present pressing need for another organic law. OReoi, In view of what's happening in Europe and Mexico and Ireland Uncle Andy Carnegie must feel that somebody played it low down on him when he was induced to put up the money for that magnificent building at The Hague where the formulas were to be manufactured that were to guarantee the peace of the world, O——e— That is high praise which the Jacksonville Metropolis gives to the Florida press when it says that it is not excelled by that of any State in the Union. The editor of the Metropolis is a trained newspaper man from the Middle West who came to Florida about a year ago and he has ample knowledge of the facts upon which he bases his opinion. Our own information on the subject covers a good many States and we fully agree with the editor of the cecssssienseaans 2.60] THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKEL. LAKELINO WON FAST GANE FAOM Y308 (Continueq from Page 1.) For Lakeland— Watson out at first, Gillespie tanned, Ginter walked, Spivey got first on pitcher’s error, Ginter out stealing third. No runs. The Ocala Star is correct when it! says that Frank James was the elder of the James brothers. We knew it, but had forgotten it; but Jesse had so much more virility, leadership and cussedness in him that Frank nothing by his seniority and followed always where Jesse led. We were not a member of that enter- prising firm, nor in its confidence, 1cok but old Mrs. Samuels, the mother Ninth Ill!ling of the James boys, mistook us for For Ybor—Ferrer fanned, Mira b 1 a Pinkerton detective once upon a popped to short, Herrera fiied out to left.

Our big dailies are as good as the best in cities in other States of several times the population of the Florida cities in which they are published; our small dailies have an equal proportionate excellence and our country weeklies are decidedy above the average of those in States much more populous and highly de- veloped than Florida. The signifi- cance of this is that it proveg the rapid growth of our State along oth- er as well as material lines, for it is only widespread educated intelli- gence that will support a State press, daily and weekly, as good and grow- ing as that of Florida, The quality of its newspapers in any State is a fair measure of the quality of the Deople. S THERE ARE PUNCHES AND PUNCHES The Kissimmee Gazette wants to know if the modern editorial has lost its “punch,” and oplnes through a column leader two columns wide, that it has. It an depends upon the man behind the punch, and that ‘was just as true in those old much landed and much lamented days of Greeley and Bennett fifty years ago as it is now. The tine has never been and will never come when superior ability Will not make itself felt just in pro- portion to its superiority, and this is true in all the relations of men and in all the avocations of life. So far from being in its decadence, the worthewhile editorial page is read now by a larger number of edu- cated, thinking people and exerts a 'stronger influence in helping to form public opinion and direct and crys- talize sentiment than at any time in the history of journalism. And in the very nature of things 'this must be so, for none of us lives to himself, and until natural law is reversed the superior mind expre ing itself in cold type or oratory or architecture or invention, or me- chanics or commerce or agriculture is going to take its just toll of in- fluence from the and if thig were live in in which and pro function of state was dead or hopeles masses of people; would backward healthy social not true we a world working every sane the sly diseased. The editorial page that is not worth while is just like everything else that is not worth while—it is not worth while and that's all there is to say about it. Hence the sound and eternal truth of our opening proposition that the value of the editorial punch all dej s upon the man behind the pur Also there is more good, honest sound and effective editorial pu going on all over the civil world right now than ever before, and while much of it is lost motion and blows that never lar Is true of prize-fighting all other forms of hur contro- 1t the results achieved more { nsate for the energy that misdirected. to go into the sections where the people are prosperous and hap- py, where they are making for- tunes raising certain things, “Then the wonder is expressed why the good work that has been done does not result in bringing more people to the state from those particular sec- tions. g “For mstance, effort is spent in trying to induce farmers of Washington and Oregon to come to Florida, when they are spec-| ializing on apples or some fruit there and getting as great finan- cral returns from their crops as Base on Balls—Gillespie 0, Alva- rez 3.
