into the habit of following them. At
four-year intervals during the past
two decades Frank Harris probable

The Tallahassee Sun says that the
information sent out by the Jackson
vile News Bureau about the drainage
of the everglades was paid for and
to that extent was a debauchery of
the press. This paper printed good
deal of the information sent out by
said bureau, but received no pay for
any of the articles it printed The arti-
cles were printed because they were
thought to be along correct lines and
the information they contained was of
great value to the people of the state.
But suppose, on the other hand, they
had been paid for and were valuable
all the same, would the money have
been tainted? We should like to see
this question settled. We want to
print the information because we
think it is just such information as
the people ought to have, and, as our
bank account is no bigger than it
ought to be, we should like to receive
pay for the articles if it is the proper
thing. But if it is wrong, we don't
want it. But how are the people to
know? Whether we receive pay or
not we will be suspected of receiving
it. But brushing that part of the
question to one side, what we want
to know, is it wrong to receive pay
for printed matter of this description?
