Brother Wilson of the Fort
Pierce Tribune has evidently
ran up against something not
very pleasing and he comes back
apon somebody or something in
this most truthful and virorous
style. He says in his last issue:
"A newspaper, if it has any
brains, conscience and muscle
back of it, must continually de.
eide between doing its duty and
injuring its pocket. In any
position but that of editor the
public is able to separate the
individual from the collective
citizen. But if an editor does
Bot please them it is at his
pockets they aim. Thus it is
the newspapers learn who their
friends are. The man who reads
a newspaper and admires it all
1he year round, yet gives his
business support to some other
concern, is not a friend to the
FORMER newspaper. Admiration
alone will not run a newspaper.
There are too many men who
expect an editor to slave in de.
fence of their pet notions and
hobbies, advocate their views
against the strongest opposition
and coolly Withhold their bust |
ness support, by which alone a
country newspaper can live.

EXTENT OF DAMAGE TO
SEA WALL Is UNKNOWN
BY Assoeiated Press.


Galveston, Texas, July 22.-With all
danger past and conditions once
more normal, Galveston is today TAX
ing stock of the damage done by the
storm and tidal wave. Whether or
not the splendid sea wall which saved
the city from destruction is injured
will not be known until the waters
in the gulf are once more quiet and
an examination can be made. The
wall was built upon immense piling
driven into the sand to q great depth
II the water has not cut away the
sand around this foundation, then no
damage has been done. If it has, it
Is probable that it will cost a million
dollars to rebuild the foundations.
The city will have to rebuild its
OF the town. These beaches extend
one hundred feet from the sea wall
to the waters and were the delight OF
tho inhabitants and visitors. Several
large bath houses were erected and
these we're destroyed. The New Surf
Hotel on the west end of Sea Wall
boulevard, built upon piling, stood
through the storm uninjured.
BY the light of lanterns, repair
crews worked all night upon the in
iured bridge spans. Telephone and
telegraph linemen were busy too, and
every effort was made to restore per
feet communication with the main
land. At dawn, il was predicted that
the work would be completed by noon
today.
