interests of Lakeland are not
lacking in appreciation of the
work that this paper has done,
and it is this responsiveness and
spirit Of cooperation between
the newspaper and the othe:
builders of the town that have
prevented any ill-advised at
tempts at competition. Time an.
again, some adventurer, with lit
tie to lose, has canvassed the
situation with a view to starting
another newspaper, but has
found the field so thoroughly
covered by the Evening Tele-
gram and the Lakeland News
that no standing room could be
found. Especially has this been
the case when the merchants
have been interviewed, because
they realize that another news
paper means nothing more than
a double tax upon them to get
their advertising before the pub
lie, with no improvement in the
newspaper service, which is al
ready all that they desire.

Surprise has sometimes been
expressed, by those not informed
Is to the newspaper situation
here, that there has been no
competition in the newspaper
business in Lakeland for SO long
a period.
When the writer came to
Lakeland some nine years ago
there were two small weekly
rapers here. The Lakeland
Sun, with the prestige Of twenty
years behind it, was opposed to
the Lakeland News, then a COM
parative youngster. Neither of
the two papers were making
decent living, and neither were
a credit to the town-as is al
ways the case when the field is
cvercrowded. There came the
Inevitable test of the survival OF
the fttest, and Notwithstanding
the Sun was at the time owned
by the most popular man in
Florida and one of the most
brainy, Gov. Park Tramell, it
tired of the struggle, and was
into the News in 1907.
Since that time there has

did not seem to the proprietor
to cover the field adequately, he
launched the Evening Telegram
in 1911. He did this contrary
to the advice of many of his best
friends, who did not think the
town was yet ready for a daily
paper, and who feared that it
could not live. Had the prop
iietor depended entirely upon
the daily paper, it is possible
that the predictions of disaster
might have been realized; but by
reaching out and getting large
outside printing contracts. he
was enabled to give the people OF
Lakeland a daily paper before
its size and population justified
such venture. 1t has been a
