The Arcadia News has done

it calls ga Pictorial Review Of

erous fine illustrations showinc

markable resources and indus
tries are strikingly depicted. The

order to illustrate our meaning
more forcibly, this weeks issue
of the Herald contains a splendid
article on Obnoxious Resolu-
tons Rescinded. +" His conclud-
ing sentence was, "Now, let the
band play The Star Spangled
Banner. +"
You might study for a year and
you cannot find a sentence of
nine words more expressive than
these. We may not always agree
with Editor Jordan in all that he
says, but it is certainly a great
pleasure to read what he writes.
We are now beginning to learn
why he is one of the most highly
esteemed editors in the state, not
withstanding the fact that he is
one of the most fearless writers.

A Very High Compliment

When Editor +. R. Jones of the
Arcadia News says anything, he
means it. 1t has not been long
since he became citizen and
property-owner of Florida; but
during his brief residence in this
county, he has come to be regard
ed by every one who has come in
contact with him as one of the a.
blest, most conscientious and pro-
gresSive men with whom this
state is blessed.
Knowing him to be honest and
sincere in all that he SAYS or
writes, the editor of The Herald
cannot but feel proud of the fol-
lowing very high compliment pub
lished in the Arcadia News of
last Friday:
For variety of thought, varie-
ty of expression and inventive
genius, the venerable editor of
the Punta Gorda Herald takes the
cake, We took occasion to call
attention to one of his recent ut
terances that had such a rich, yet
covert figure of speech contained
in it, and here is what he says in
reply:
when the Herald is trying to
say something, rhetoric and fig
ures of speech must yield to per.
spicacity.' 1t we smell a rat
and see him floating around in the
air like a biplane or a submarine
we intend to say so, rhetoric to
the contrary Notwithstanding"
And he does-not at the ex-
Dense of rhetoric, however, but
oy the very choicest use of it. II

The Herald to Blame

In his speech here last Frida.
night, Senator Bryan said that al
editorial of The Punta Cords
Herald was the cause of the state
committee adopting at the Jan
uary meeting those famous Reso
lutionsa 4 and 5. The editorial
warned the people that Candidate
Cats was developing startling
strength, that he apparently al
ready had pledged to him be-
tween ten and fifteen thousand
votes and that his election as gov
ernor would be calamity to the
state.
Senator Bryan said that men,
bers of the committee read the ed
itorial and it moved them to a.
dept the resolutions for the pur-
pose of eliminating Mr.. Cats
from the primary, That being
the case, it was really funny
when The Herald gave the com
mittee blowing up" for adopt
ing the resolutions, which they
probably thought was the very
thing The Herald wanted them to
do.
Now the position of The Her.
aid has been and is, that the elec-
ton of, Mr.. Cats would disturb
the peace of the state, even more
than his fiery speeches have done,
and would seriously retard the
progress and development which
Florida is making; but, at the
same time, while sincerely enter
tanning this view, it has wanted
Mr.. Cats to have fair play and to
be defeated only by fair and open
methods.
No matter how Objectionable a
candidate may be, trickery and
underhand methods should not be
used to defeat him.
The sober Second-thought of
the people, however, is returning
to them-that is, to many of
those who intended to vote for
Mr.. Cats, and The Herald now
has no fear that he will be nomi-
mated. Surely the people will
not choose comparative stranger
like him over such well known
and noble Floridians as Knott,
Hudson, Wood and Farris, who
have lived and worked in Florida
for so any years that they are
thoroughly acquainted with every
need of the state and have the a
bility and patriotism to serve the
people with honor to themselves
and to the advancement of the in
terests, Che honor and the glory Of

The newspapers which, in days
gone bye persistently urged Hon.
Frank Harris of the Ocala Ban
ner, to run for governor, might
succeed in prevailing upon him to
run for secretary of state, an of
flee for which he is well fitted.
The pay'is $3,60000 a year and
the duties are very light and of a
character to suit finely a man of
Col. Harris's age. Further, as
practically all the newspapers
would support him, the expense
of making the race would not be
onerous. y.

Gently bitten by a rattlesnake, re-

diamond-back species, is in good

hausted its supply of venom, and

AS a national committeeman
for Florida is to be chosen in the
coming primary, The Herald rises
to nominate Hon. Cromwell Glib
bons of Jacksonville as in all re-
spects worthy and well qualified.
The position is simply an honor,
to which is attached no pay, but
1T entails considerable personal
expense upon the honoree. For
many years, Col. Gibbons has
been an active and faithful serv-
ant of the party, which assuredly
ought to give him this small rec
ognition.

How To Change the Libel Laws

! One reason why the Florida Ii
bel laws are so stringent as to re
strict the liberty of the press il
that those interested in a fairel
law to newspapers have failed tc
press their claims at the proper
time. Heretofore the editors have
said nothing and done nothing to
carry their point until the legisla.
ture assembled. There is a chance
for effective work by all of the
editors of the state uniting in the
demand for a better libel law at
the time when candidates for the
Legislature are seeking election.
BY united and systematic work it
should be possible to get most of
the candidates to declare them
selves in favor of a reasonable
law governing libel.
The South Florida Press Asso-
citation has made recommended
tions as to necessary changes in
the libel laws of Florida. These
recommendations should be pub
lished in every newspaper in Flor
ida and all candidates for the leg
islature should be asked to state
their position in regard to them.
The recommendations are as
follows:
1.-The injustice of the present
libel law arises from the wording
of Section 10 of the Bill of
Rights of the State Constitution.
The words "good motives should
be stricken out, and to this end a
constitutional amendment should
be submitted.
"A law should be passed to
permit newspapers to publish any
matters contained in the public
records of town, city, county or
state and forbidding the taking
OF any legal action, civil or crimi-
nal, against editors or owners of
newspapers publishing such rec
ords-unless it can be clearly
shown that the publication there
of was prompted by malice.
3-There should be a law to
prohibit the publication of legal
notices of any kind in newspapers
that have not been published at
least one year or in any that are
not printed wholly within the
county. Patent" pages cut adj
vertising rates below cost.
All town, city, county and
state officials should be required |
by law to buy all their blank
books and printed stationery for
their offices from Florida printing
concerns, if such supplies can be
furnished by Florida printers.
5-The Bryan primary law
should be so amended as to give
he newspapers fair returns for
political advertising. Every can
tldate for state or federal office
should be allowed to spend for
advertising as much as $4,000 in
ach daily and $500 in each
weekly.
6-The fee for publishing the
avs passed by each legislature
hould be increased from $4,000
o $4,000. You know that $780,
y does not cover the actual ex-
enSe of this work; and, as the
is made only once in
wo years, $4,000 for one paper
4 each county would not be a
eavy expense upon the state.
An itemized list of all bills,
counts and claims ordered paid
y the county commissioners of
ach county should be published
4 one or more newspapers of
ach county. This publicity would
realty aid in eliminating any
raft that might be going on and
'ould prove protection to the
axpayer. For this service, the
sual legal rate should be allow

Newspaper Echange Courtesy

The Herald does want an ex
change that is not freely and cor
daily given. Being a villag
weekly, it feels that it has n,
right to demand an exchang'
with city daily and it does no
do so. But it keenly appreciate
such an exchange.

Union and Metropolis, the Tam
pa Tribune and Times, the Pensa
ella Journal and News, the Ocal;

Sun, Lakeland Telegram, Key

see Democrat, Arcadia news, Fort
Myers Press, Daytona Journal,
Bradentown Journal, Palatka
Democrat and few other dailies
whose names just at this moment
cannot be recalled, exchange
their daily editions for the week
lies because they wish to keep in
close touch with public senti-
ment in the villages as well as the
cities of the state. They cannot
otherwise be fully informed as to
public opinion in every part of
the state.
1t is for this reason that they
exchange with The Herald, which
has never demanded such cour-
tesy, though it greatly appreciat-
es it. Indeed, The Herald takes
no offense at any newspaper,
daily or weekly, for refusing an
exchange. 1t was, therefore, not
as a complaint, when
The Herald, few weeks ago, re-
fcrred jocularly to having bee
cut off the exchange list of {
daily published at Clearwater
The Auburndale News and the
Macclenny Standard, however,
appear to take it as a slight or of
tense. The former, commenting
upon The Herald's remark, says

The Standard says:
"Same opinion here, Bro. Jor-
an. We were just beginning to
hink that this is pretty good
yay for new editor to get ac-
TAINTED with the boys-cut them
IF the list. +"
This brings to mind a little in

his writer, while loafing in the
flee of the Leesburg Commercial

ften quote from the Commercial,
which is the best kind of a free

frequently contain articles of in
