HON. O. M. EATON ANNOUNCES
FOR COMMISSIONER AT LARGE
To the People of Lakeland:

To the People of Lakeland:
Yielding to the solicitations of
many voters, | have consented to an
nounce my candidacy for commits
sioner-at-large, or mayor, of the city
of Lakeland. did not take this step
until convinced that large number
of citizens really wished me to con-
tinue to serve the city; but, having
entered the race, | earnestly ask the
support of all those who are willing
to cooperate with me in securing for
the city progressive administration
of its affairs.
Having been connected with the
city's administration for several
years, | respectfully refer to my rec
ord in the past, which | am not
ashamed to submit for inspection 1t
is possible that have made mis-
takes, as every man does; but have
tried to subserve the best interests
of the city, and at all times to stand
for those things which appeared to
me to make for its progress and pros
perity.
will be grateful for the endorse
ment of my fellow citizens at the
ensuing primary.
I Respectfully, o. NJ. EATON.

where THE ROAD
MONEY Went and why
PAVING IS BLOCKED

1t is stated that the city's proper
tion of the road money was received
the other day and that it was used
to pay off note in order to protect
the credit of the city" We do not
know any better use to which money
could be put than to pay off honest
obi :ations and preserve the city's
credit. But this money has not been
stolen from the street fund, or even
diverted for other purposes. 1t was
used to pay off money borrowed by
the city to protect unpaid street paw
ing certificates. When these paw
ing certificates are redeemed the
amount will be returned to the
street paving fund; meanwhile, it is
ga, ing the city per cent. interest.
Any bad business management about
that?
The real truth of the matter Is
that a great deal of paving could
have been completed by this time,
and a great deal more could be in
progress had it not been for the OPP
position of Mr.. John +. Cox. Prop
erty owners living along various
streets leading out to connect with
the county roads were anxious to
pave these streets, at no expense 10
the city, but Mr.. Cox opposed the
plan so strenuously that the work
has been held up. He bases his OPP
position on the claim OF a legal tech.
nicality, Notwithstanding that his
attention has been cited to law
passed by the last legislature fully
authorizing improvements of this
character. Whatever Mr.. CoX's mo-
tives, the fact remains that he is
primarily responsible for blocking
this plan, thereby depriving the city
OF the benefit of these improvements,
and holding u work on when
large number of men could have
found employment-a gOdsend in
these dull times.

THE JOURNALISTS CREED
(By Walter Williams, Dean d
Missouri University School
of Journalism


believe in the profession Of
journalism.
believe that the public journal
is a public trust; that all connected
with it are, to the full measure oil
their responsibility, trustees for the
public; that acceptance Of lesser SER
vice than the public service is be-
trayal of this trust.
believe that clear thinking and
clear statement, accuracy and fair
ness are fundamental to good jour-
nalism.
believe that a journalist should
write only what he holds in his heart
to be true.
believe that suppression of the
news for any consideration other
than the welfare of society is ih-
dcfensible.
| believe that no one should write
as a journalist what he would not
say as "a gentleman; that bribery by
ones own pocketbook is as mucn to
be avoided as bribery by the pocket
book of another; that individual re-
sponsibility may not be escaped by
pleading another's instructions or
anothers dividends.
believe that advertising, news
and editorial columns should alike
serve the best interests of the read
ers; that single standard of help
full truth and cleanness should pre-
vail for all; that the supreme test
of good journalism is the measure OF
its public service.
I believe that the journalism which
succeeds best-and best deserves
success-fears God and honors man;
is stoutly independent, unmoved by
pride of opinion or sreed of power
constructive, tolerant, but neNc"
careless, self-controlled, patient; al
ways respectful of its readers, but al
ways unafraid; is quickly indignanI
al injustice; is unswayed by the ap-
peal of privilege of the clamor of the
mob: seeks to give every man
chance and as far as law and honest
wage and recognition of human
brotherhood can make it so, an equal
chance; is profoundly patriotic,
while sincerely promoting Internal
ional good will and cementing world
comradeship; is journalism of hui
manity, CT and for today's world.

autumn and winter, not as tourists,
but as designing to become perman-
en- residents of that State of genial
climate and perpetual flowers.
1t is early yet to speak of tourist
travel for the winter, but the i'm

The announcement OF the estao-
lishment of a national golf club near
Jacksonville, and the fact that
Miami has been selected as the
winter headquarters of the Hydro

that lovers of these sports will be
found in Florida in great numbers.

The most daring of Mexican out
RACES on American soil was ehroh-
icled IN our dispatches yesterday in
which nearly eighty Mexican out
laws held up and robbed a Texas
train after killing the engineer and
wounding several others. These fell
lows don't seem to belong to either
of the Mexican factions, but under
new leader imagine themselves to
be heading a revolution to win back
for Mexico that part of Texas he
tween the Rio Grande and the
Nueces, which they claim was never
rightfully the properly of the United
States. II il the poorest part of
Texas, but the Mexican claim is ab-
surdly false and only the most ie-
norant peon classes believe it. The
magnitude and daring of this latest
outrage indicates that definite and
drastic measures will have to be TAX
en- to check the growth of this So
called revolution on American SOIL
all of which is easy to say, but it is
hard to round up a bunch of coyotes

The other day two hundred editors

the first few lines of the item we
supposed that the Great Desidera

nobly led the way in furnishing for
decrepit editors "shy on the MAUI

old age. But as in many other cases
where the wish is father to the

1t is significant fact that Her
nando county is shipping out corn
1t is too often the other way around
with many Florida counties, which
have the bad habit Of shipping in
corn The experience of the past
few years, especially under the slim
illus of the boys corn clubs, has dem
onstrated that Florida is a corn
growing State and the farmer WHO
doesn't raise enough for his own use
has only himself to blame. The right
sort of energy could make corn a

such suffrage as party issue. That
is the right view to take of it. Votes

national government has no right to
impose it's will upon any State in

That is a matter for each State to
settle for itself and that is the way
the new propaganda has been work

women have no right to complain,

captured State after state and it NAV
