Probably every newspaper editor
wishes from the bottom of his heart
at least occasionally, that he could
thoroughly educate the reading pub
lie to the rights and duties of Il
newspaper. To the average lay
mind freedom of the press covers
about everything that the editor or
any correspondent may want to say
on any given subject or about any
given person. There is not an ed'-
tor who has not been approached to
publish some article written in the
most scurrilOus style, abusing pri-
vate parties for alleged short COM
ings, and the screed, communication,
or whatever it may be called, is
always handed in with the remark:
Il will be responsible for it," al
though the writer usually wants his
name suppressed. 1t is hard for that
class of people to get 1t into their
heads that II is the newspaper prop
erty and the newspaper writers who
are responsible for everything thai
is said in the paper. The press has
no more freedom to abuse than ha'
the average man-and not SO much
The guarantee of the constitution ol
free press simply relieves the news
paper from being obliged to submit
it's utterances to some government
official before publication. but doe
not relieve it from the duty OF be
ing decent and of treating private
individuals with fairness.-Ex.

There's one pleasing feature
about the newspaper business which
is not generally known or there
would be more people rush into the
profession. It is this: You can lie
until you are ashamed to look the
printed page In the face about the
accomplishments of a certain person;
YOU can, under pressure, print hum
dreds of items about the person afore-
said, SO full of slobber and slosh that
after writing each one you feel like
you had swallowed dose CT ipecac;
YOU can consistently follow this
course of several years-and then
one time through an oversight, o.
ever SO innocently you fail to write
OF this person what he or she thinks
YOU should-and forthwith the col
umns of kind things you have writ
ten go for naught. and you find you
have given mortal offense. Oh. yes

sweet song of pure delight-we don

MOVEMENT OF FLORIDA
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

Jacksonville, Dec. 10. 1.-THE
movement of citrus fruits, especially
oranges for the past week has been
the heaviest perhaps that have ever
observed, said J. c. Chase of Chase
& Company yesterday while he was
discussing the Florida end of the in
dustry. He is also the well-knOwn
secretary of the Florida Fruit and
Vegetable Shippers Association and
has large long list OF figures about
the ways the fruit trains have been
running.
For a time he says that there was
perceptible scarcity of cars and
that this hindered the movement to
considerable degree. The Ameri-
can public seemed to have no preju-
dice against the Florida product too
and buyers have been in the market
at all times.
So far this year, he thinks. the
shipments OF oranges and other cit
rus fruits from Florida and Cali
fornia are only few hundred cars
short while some authorities are
disposed to place the figures at a
much higher figure. California is
reported as having sent 1854 cars less
to the market this season than last
year but it is said that the tonnage
of such cars have been increased,
thereby making fewer necessary. 1t
is not his belief that the l9l sea-
son will show any perceptiblc de-
crease below that of 1910.

ANOTHER MAN WANTS
CHRISTMAS ABOLISHED

1t always happens Every year
somebody hobs up with proposition
to abolish Christmas.
This year it is a preacher in New
York state who says that Christmas
has become completely secularized.
an occasion for extravagancies and
Overwork, a WEAKNESS and reprOach
to religion.
Better abolish the festival" he
says, than make it semi-pagah
saturnalia.
1t is quite possible that Santa
Claus, with his sweet traditions, re-
dolent of br0therly love. charity and
the impartial love of the Universal
Father of us all, has done more for
the promotion OF real religion than
all the preachers in the world, says
the Pensacola Journal.
Take Santa Claus and the spirit,
sentiments and emotions he stands
for out of the world for a single
generation, and the true message OF
Christ would become incomprehensi-
BILE to the human mind.
Too many belong to that class who
look upon religion only as the means
by which one secures the eternal sal
walton of his own soul. Any mean
ins beyond that is blank to them.
Real. blcodwarm, heart-deep
sympathy and love for humanity
such as is represented in and aroused
by Santa Claus at Christmas time
the sacrifice without hope of credit,
the giving for the mere sake OF the
blessed JOY of giver and recipient
are all an "imposture" and semi
pagan saturnalia" in the mind OF
that narrow incarnate selfishness
which seeks in religion only the sal
walton of it's own stingy little soul.
Santa Claus may be an "impos-
ture," but the joy he brings to mil.
lions of little hearts is genuine.
Christmas may be "semi-pagan
saturnalia,' but it mellOws the
hearts of millions of men.
The world cannot afford to lose
either. Nor will it.
There is a charm in the name and
a spell in the air that exhilarate
youth as nothing else can and bring
back to old age the virgin emotions
Of childhood Its spirit Is holy, its
traditions enrolling and it's sweet
superst!tions are sainted.
Every instinct lying at the source
of mans mortal nature requires that
there be a time in the year when for
a few brief hours self may be for
gotten, when the heart may turn
tender and the coarse passions soft
en-, friends be drawn more closely,
and enemies forgiven, peace de-
scend upon us and the glad soul re-
vel naked in the glorious benedic-
ton of the yuletide glow.
