The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1913-12-06

Those seven federal generals in
Mexico who cit out" for the United
States rather than fall into the
hands of their esteemed contempor
airy, General Francisco Villa, may
not be heroes, but they showed
mighty good judgment, all the same,
in view of what happened to their
brethren at Juarez a few days before.
1t would have been a firing squad
for them had they been caught, with
out even the privilege of dying with
their breaches on, to say nothing of
their boots, for breeches are so
scarce In Villas army Just now that
before he shoots his prisoners he
compels them to shuck their pants in
the sacred cause of the republic in
order that they may be appropriated
by the victors unrent by bullet holes.

The cheapest thing in Florida to.

The cheapest thing in Florida to-
day in proportion to its real value is
the Florida newspaper. 1t is three
or four times as good a paper as it
was twenty years ago; it costs twice
as much to produce it as it did then,
but instead of going up with the cost
of material and labor, the price went
down until now the profit on sub
scriptions has about reached the van
ishing point. Fool competition in
stead of intelligent combination is
responsible for this result, but the
editors, especially the weekly edi-
tors, are beginning to see the light
and raise the price of their subscrip-
tions until they can at least discov-
er scant margin of profit with the
naked eye. Quite a number of the
best weeklies in Florida are adopting
this just and sensible policy and it
is likely to become general. On this
subject the Times Union says:
Several Florida newspapers are
announcing that they will raise the
price of subscription shortly This is
no doubt necessary and the papers
will hardly lose any subscribers. If
a county paper is worth anything at
all to the people who are on its list,
the matter of rs or SO cents addi-
tional year will not be considered.
A great deal more is expected of
newspaper nowadays than was the
Ease some years ago, and every added
AGILITY for supplying the news,
promptly and in good, readable
hape, costs money" !

mentions.

LABOR CONDITIONS

President Edwin Wright of I'LL
nois Federation Speaks
Cheerfully.

"In no state in the union is the con-
dition of the working man as good as
it is in Illinois, said President Edwin
Wright of the Illinois Federal of La
Dor, in conversation with an Argus rep
resentative at the New Harper last
evening Mr.. Wright has been max
ing his annual visit to Rock Island and
Moline and left this afternoon for Chi
cago. 81 am speaking of the working
man of Illinois in his composite char
acter," Mr.. Wright continued. "In no
state is he getting better wages, work
ing shorter hours or laboring under
better conditions.
THE recent Illinois legislature, with
all that was said about it, treated labor
legislation more than fairly. l was in
Sprin gfield throughout the session and
We succ eeded in getting through q
specific measures that are in the
interests of organized labor and these
with the prompt approval of Governor
Dunno, have become laws. Legislation
is an important factor in the produc-
ton of conditions of contentment
among labor, and Illinois has done its
share.
That, ! believe, is why the stand
ard as il applies to the laboring man
as class, is so high in Illinois"
