The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1915-07-15
Gilchrist The First to Give His
Pledge

Four weeks ago the Tribune
made proposition to the press of
Florida to cease printing the
names of candidates for the Unit
ed States Senate or Congress UNI
til such time as these candidates
pledged themselves, if elected, to
use their best efforts to stop the
practice of the government print
ing names of persons and firms on
stamped envelopes. In the same
article the Tribune stated it would
adopt the plan, whether or net
any other paper in the state did
so, and this paper has rigidly adj
hered to that statement. The only
other paper in the state that has
adopted the policy Of the Tribune
is the Zolfo Truth, although sever
al papers reproduced the article
without comment.
The following is from the Pub
fishers Auxiliary, of last week,
and we are glad to see that paper
of such wide circulation looks
with favor on the proposition:
ever since the government, a
number of years ago, virtually en-
tered into competition with the
printers and publishers of the
country by letting contracts for
the printing of stamped envelopes
and soliciting such business
through postmasters, a fight has
been made by those chiefly affect
ed for the purpose of doing away
with this unjust competition. Thus
far all efforts have been ineffec-
tive but the publishers of this
country are by no means ready to
admit themselves beaten. Now
comes a Florida publisher with a
proposition, and one worthy of a.
doption by all interested in the a
bolishment of this unjust discrim-
nation against printers, by which
he believes the fight can be won.

the improvement !He-e-e Haw "
One small boy of public spirit,
informing me the fraternity was
dissatisfied with the present well,
Expressed himself thus:
"There amt nothin' interestin'
about that plumbers waterin
place, except fgurin' out how it
comes some Teller amt drinkin' on
the same water that's goin in yer
bottle, when the water slows up
every time he drinks; Il say he
don't, cause Pap says SOL n you
can't hear nothin' hardly, a tall ;
cause folks don t set on the well
an talk like they used to; an
there amt nothin' you can do at
well like that; can't chuck peb-
bles in the water, ner set yerself
near yer bottle on the wall, ner be
accused of stopping up the pipe,
ner watch the horses drink, ner
purity near fall in, ner nothing
that makes life worth livin F."
Mercy | hope the. small boys
won't join the horses, and ride off
on their backs to join the circus !
They say zone good deed deserves
u think we'd better let
some man move the well back a.
gain to where it was and build the
wall up again out of some nice
white stone or cement, just the
same size; and have a good stream
of water flowing two ways out of
the top of the best looking pipe we
can afford.
Yours, hoping for a white mar
bic fountain some day for Punta
Gorda,
ALICE TT WALLS.

the weekly dose. Thank heaven,
the st. Cloud Tribune is not in
that class, and we here reiterate
that the candidate for the U. 5,
Senate or Congress, whose name
appears in these columns will have
first signed pledge to use his eff
forts to stop the sale of printed
envelopes by the government.
And if the newspapers Of Florida
would take the same stand every
candidate would sign that pledge
before the sun sets. But, the
question is, will the newspapers
do it st. Cloud Tribune.
