its permanent policy. which it has
consistentlr maintained during all
the years of its history, of unifica-
ton, harmony and general boosting.
1T departed from this policy temlDor-
arily, only under great pressure. No
one knows what we have had to con-
tend with, nor how we have been
bounded and harassed, criticised and
abused, until we hit back square
from the shoulder, taking our sland-
erers by surprise and knotkin,, them
completely off their legs. A few in
innate friends, who have had some
inkling of the situation, declare that
not one person of thousand would
have acted with the forbearance, toll
erance and kindness we have
uniformly displayed, under the pro-
vocation we have had to contend
with. So confident and bold had
those constituting certain element
been made by our apparent inatten-
tion to their attacks, that they mis-
took our attitude for timidity, and
it was necessary to show them that
Wien occasion arises we can fight
fearlessly and effectively. Having
convinced them that swapping AMI
snarling at us is liable to produce
consequences they had not suspected,
we will now return to the even tenor
OF our way, IGNORING their existence
until such time as it may seem neces-
sary to give them another salutary
lesson
We have fought, good fight
Every charge has been met, fully and
scuarely, and refuted in language so
plain, so SIMPLE, so sincere, that only
blind prejudice would refuse to be
convinced. We have run the de-
tractors of the city administration
and the Evening Tele7 ram into a

statements by facts and f2mres that
none could controvert, and reducin"
their attacks to inane, futile general

The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1915-10-26

Thanks to our good friend, Editor
Jones, of the Arcadia News, for this
kindly paragraph. The newspaper
man who doesn't want to be quoted
is peg in the wrong hole, and
should hunt some other job, and it
touches us most pleasantly to know
that our constant effort to write
something worthy to be read and
quoted is appreciated by our friends
of the State press. The News says:
AS We used to say when school
boy it is "Whittlety-whet" as to
which paper is the most quoted by
the other papers of the state, the
Lakeland Tele ram or the Clearwater
SIN. If we just had the time, like
one of our contemporaries over on
the east coast, who took the pains u
find out how many of its exchanges
used quite a few" we would look
fully into the matter and make re-
port. AS it is we will just content
ourselves by congratulating these
two splendid papers for their friend
ly rivalry for first place"

WOULD SAVE HALF MILLION
Report to Legislature of Board of
Public Affairs, Shows Economy
Possible by Efficiency.

Madison.-The state board of public
affairs in its report to the legislature
will say that half a million dollars can
be saved annually in the administra-
ton of state affairs. It points out that
100000 can be saved in the admins
tration of state normal schools, $780,
600 in state printing, twice that
amount in the administration of the
state university, and 100000 in gen.
eral state administration.
The report, however, doth not lay
especial stress on these savings. More
attention is given to what is termed
"a program for social and economic
development and for the attainment of
greater efficiency in state administra-
tion.'
Reports on the survey made of the
university, the normal schools and the
high schools and the investigation of
state printing are to be made separate
ly to the legislature. Investigation of
the board on the problems of farm
ownership, rural credit systems, farm
tenancy and the distribution of agri-
cultural products are discussed at
length, while the work of installing
uniform accounting systems in the
state departments and various state
institutions is reviewed
Several investigations" says the
report, "were made and hearings were
held to ascertain what proportion of
the price paid by the consumer of
agricultural products goes to the farm
er for that product AS a result of
these Investigations the Sheboygan
County Cheese Producers federation
was organized. The members of this
board believe that such assistance as
was rendered by this board and the
University of Wisconsin in the organi-
zation of this cooperative association
made it model of it's kind and bene-
fit to the dairy industry of Wisconsin.
During the eight months this organi-
zaticn did business it handled 1856, 1886
pounds of cheese, for which it's mem
bers received $784,277."
