Do Honor to Worthy Matron Mrs. Adair A most delightful affair of Thurs- day evening was that given by the members of the Order of the East- ern Star in honor of the return of the Worthy Matron, Mrs. Adair. After the regular business meet- ing of the Chapter, a recess was held when the members were invited into the banquet hall. The tables were beautifully dec- orated with trailing flowers and large vases of cut flowers. The color scheme of pink anu green was carried out in the ices and cakes. The Worthy Matron was present- ed with a lovely bouquet of flowers, in acknowledgement of which she gave us a most appropriate little talk. Quite a number of members were present to enjoy this delightful oc- casion. $ Chicken Pillau Club Building Tonight A pillau was given on i.ake Mor- ton last night by the Baptist Barac- cas, which was very much enjoyed by all. There were about 75 or more pres- jent, the crowd being chaperoned by Prof. and Mrs. Angel, Mrs. Wear 'and Mrs. Flanagan. | ! # | | = Games were played until the chicken was cooked, then all enjoyed a nice dish of chicken and rice, with other delicious refreshments.

REPORTER. i Woman’s Club Make Improvements The Woman's Club is having a number of pleasing improvements made in the surroundings of the Club House, the weeds having been cut and comfortable and attractive looking swings erected on the grounds. There is no more live or- ganization in the city than the Woman’s Club—they . are never weary of well doing, bt it for the in- tellectual, civic or moral betterment of the community, and in the meet- ings its members enjoy a mental up- lift that cannot be secured in any other manner. LIFE'S HIGHWAYS Everybody is invited to hear Mr. Ley's concluding sermon tomorrow night on “Life’'s Highways.” His special theme--“The Highway of the Gospel,” should be an inspiring one to every professing Christian, and of forceful, helpful suggestion to those who have not openly espoused or professed religion. There are as many different ways of being re- ligious as of being anything, run- ning all the way from a namby pamby, shiftlessness of creed and character up to the royal highway whereon Christ is all and in all and chief seat in the synagogue, nor in long prayers, nor broad phylacteries, nor pious cant, nor loud profession.

THE «+ENING TELEGRAM LAK ELAND, FLA., OCT. 10, 1914. :| Telegram Has Never Suppressed Proper Contributions vl the evening of October Tth, a communication was received by the Evening Telegram, purporting to be a reply to an article printed the day before and signed by the city man- ager. This communication abound- ed in personaities; it called spiteful names; it made charges against hon- orable men of “graft” and ‘“‘rotten- ness,” and ‘“‘crookedness.” On Octo~ ver 8th the editor of the Telegram addressed a letter to the author of | the article as follows: “1 regret very much that I find 1' will be unable to publish your com- munication. The principal reason that renders such publication unde- ' sirable is that it is libeious, and would inevitably involve both the newspaper and the author of the ar- ticle in an action for eriminal libel. We, of course, aside from any other reason, do not wish to get mixed up in any lawsuits. 1 am familiar with the Florida libel laws, and 1 know exactly what the result of this pub- lication would be, considering the state of feeling of those whom it concerns. ‘ “l will be glad at any time, as I have in the past, to give space to any articles you may write that are couched in temperate language, and which would not interfere with the public welfare. Any criticism you may have to make of any public of- ficial, of any system of administer- ing the public affairs, or anything ielsq that is a proper subject for pub- :]ic discussion, wfll be given the most ' courteous consideration, and promp. .publication, provided the language fused is such as may be properly I printed.” Now, we submit, could anything be fairer than this? We do not ask that communications reflect our opinions in order that they be pub- lished. In the present instance we asked only that moderate language be used, might bring personal violence, and statements that might have to be proved in a law court. There are ,only two conditions we insist upon as regards matter for publication. They are: First, Temperate ianguage must be used; second, the communi- ————————————————————————— fifty cents a plate for the glory of God and squeezes the 50 cents out of ‘an underpaid hireling, the thing which he has in him, which he calls a soul, is only a gizzard aad a dis- eased one at that. ——————————————————————————— Briroir ool BB B D BB B BB P R B Dr. SAMUEL F.

This popular team will have some brand new acts next week. instead of epithets that, |calien must not be such as to hurt the city. This paper will never be used as a public sewer as long as we own it, and it will never be used as a medium to defame or misrepresent conditions in the city to which we are loyal and which we have worked to assist in building. Communica- tions are continuously pouring into this office. all that are helpful, and many that are worth- less. We try to keep out tinose that are harmful. We have sent away many a hot-hecaded person feeling | better after convincing him that it { would be better for mm and all con- Icerned to suppress some rash or, ill advised article he desired us to print. We have worked in the inter- {est of harmony and peace, and have done more to keep down bitterness and ill feeling than perhaps any oth- er institution of the city. If we had printed everything presented us by opposing personalities and factions during the past week, there would thave been personal violence, murder ‘mil.:ht even have been committd, or in any event there would have been ! bitterness and enmities engendered that years might not heal. Did we do wrong in striving to prevent these conditions? The paper has been criticised for allowing space to an article by the city manager on the day preceding the election. Now, the publication of an article by no means commits the paper to the sentiments ex- pressed in that article. The article in the main was correct; but that portion reflecting on the committee of investigation we did not approve of . By an unfortunate oversight, the editor did not read the article care- fully before it was printed, or the objectionable portfon would not have appeared. The city manager had frequently turned in manu- script—reports, recommendations, etc., and there had never bheen oc- casion to censor such articles, which made us less careful with this one than we might have been with an ordinary contribution. The editor was reading the article, when he was suddenly called away; an as- sistant, thinking the manuscript had | been examined, rushed it on to the mechanical department, for in a daily newspaper office thines have to be done quickly. The first time the editor read the article was after it was printed in the edition, too late to be modified. This statement is made voluntarily by the cditor, just because it is the simple truth. An army of knockers or critics could not force it from him, and it is a matter of supreme indifference to him whether these gentry believe it or not. But it is made simply for the sake of the members of the commit- tee whom the article assailed, some of whom we have always regarded as our friends, and whom we con- sider men of the highest type of honor and integrity, incayable of treachery or any other questionable conduct.
