Arcadia is in the throes of pri-
mary for city officials, and, as usual,
1t seems to be a case of the ms
against the outs. 1t makes us feel
very much at home to read that the
present officials are mot the servants
Of the people," that they haven't
done anything they should do, and
have done all the things they
shouldn't. Arcadians and Lakeland
ers are evidently very much the same
kind of people.

The Supreme court decided that
the second choice feature of the pri-
mary law is constitutional. 1t would

not so decided. But the rather re-

There is only one way that any
newspaper can meet the crisis
brought about by the tremendous ad-
vance in the cost of print paper, and
that is by cutting off absolutely ev-
cry copy that is not paid for in adj
vance or, at least, in the case of
weekly subscriptions, at the end of
the week. The Evening Telegram
will soon put this system in effect, as
a measure of absolute necessity to it's
continued existence.

that figure in 1910, but we have a
mark of $500 in 1920" that we
