The sun. (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1905-1908, 1905-11-18

Under this title will be presented as briefly as
possible, some testimony bearing on the REAL
CAUSE of the suspension of the Daily Florida Sun,
of which the writer was founder and editor and in
For this unfolding of the truth many reasons
can be urged.
Against the unfolding there is one objection.
Here are some of the reasons:
Tristan entirely wrong impression prevails
among some few people about the suspension Of the
Daily Florida Sun, because of the false statements
made by its BUSINESS rival (for in no other way
was rivalry manifested the Metropolis.
Second-The people are entitled to know the
truth about the Daily Florida Sun, because the peo
pie had property in newspaper that was con-
Quoted on lines Of fearless independence, coupled
with bold advocacy of the rights of the people, and
these lines the Sun was conducted from the first
issue to the last one appearing under the writer's
editorial guidance.
Third-Unless the truth be known and it be
shown that the Daily Florida Sun was NOT FAIL
URE, there is small chance that capitalists will
venture money in another afternoon newspaper in
Jacksonville, which will be calamity, for 1t will
leave Florida's chief city WITHOUT AN AFTER
NOON DAILY worthy of the high and honorable
;title-"NEWSPAPER."
Fourth-It appears, from the evidence that is
now in the writer's possession, that cowardly and
dastardly trick was played on Mr. P. L. Sutherland,
president of the Daily Florida Sun, by w. r. Carter,
editor of the Metropolis, aimed at the destruction
of Mr.. Sutherlands business interests and the
assassination of his character.
Fifth-Facts to be presented on this page point
Ito that MOST DESPICABLE of all characters, THE
JBLACKMAILER, having his abode among the
good people of this community and relying on his
very power to WELD his shameful bludgeon for his
immunity from the fate such hell-servce deserves.
Sixth-This necessary exposure and timely in.
formation can be made in no other way.
Enough of reasons, though there are more that
seem good
Here is the objection. Come to think Of it, there
are two instead of one:
The first one is that the world has no patience
with a with grievance If that grievance is
paraded. So it is with papers. Grievances belong
i'm the same place as do family skeletons.
The second objection is that the press has been
a late so full of the exhibition of fostering
on the body polite the business and the social world
that a NEW UNCOVERING OF POLLUTION must
not lightly be undertaken.
Casting the reasons and the objections in the
mental balance the beam has tipped far over to the
pan containing the reasons; 80 the evidence is sub
mitted.
Before presenting the evidence an explanation, an
apology and promise seem to be In order.
The explanation is contained in the statement
that Mr.. p. L. Sutherland was not only not impor-
tuned to put money into the Daily Florida Sun, he
was NOT EVEN ASKED to do so.
The apology is due the public, because Of the
rsetting before It of 80 foul dish.
The promise is that this is the only time It will
lbe served up. After this presentation Of facts that
indicate the TRUE CAUSE of the suspension Of the
Daily Florida Sun, no more of the sayings and do
