Writing heavy editorials is an
accomplishment at which ye
younger scribe of The Herald has
not yet become adept, but an ex-
preston like the following from
such an able writer as Editor
Jones of the Arcadia News, while
savoring of fattery, inspires a fell
low with the desire to do the big
ger things-to really measure up
to what is said-and the compli-
ment is appreciated:
"The Punta Gorda Herald
comes out this week just about as
good as ever, Notwithstanding the
fact that Editor Jordan is spend
ing all his time in the field "poli-
tickin." We have been little
suspicious of the fact that Jordan
Junior. has been writing some Of
those fine editorials any way, and
it is beginning to look as if this
conclusion will be verified. "

Editor Jno. G. Hanna of the
Auburndale News, didn't scare a
bit when arrested recently on a
charge of criminal libel, but in
the last issue of his paper presents
his case clearly under the heading
"Prostituting Law to Persecu-
tom" and it seems evident that
the title of that editorial conveys
full sense of exactly what he
is up against under the iniquitous
Florida libel law, but he speaks
with a confidence indicating that
he will be able to clear himself
and the consummation he seeks
his co-workers of the press hope
to see realized.

to and the biggest contract for
road-work let that has even been
made in this state. A great
stride is that.

A Silly Newspaper

l. lie DGlHUCIdI, oil dlitS So u"'hJ
published at Tallahassee, has set
itself up as the organ of Hon. H.
Clay Crawford, chronic office
holder and aspirant, and, in doing
So has insulted the intelligence
and patriotism of the many real
newspapers which have spoken
favorably of the candidacy of Ad-
rian P. Jordan for secretary OF
state. In a long, labored and
silly editorial published on the
21st inst, it charges the newspa-
pers with supporting Jordan sole
" on the ground of his being a
newspaper man and without any
regard for his competence or lit
ness for the office; whereas, most,
if not all of the newspapers which
have favored Jordan, have testl-
fed to his high character and a.
bility, which were and are the
chief reasons for their kind ex-
pressions.
SO reckless is the Tallahassee
organ in its opposition to Jordan
that it declares that it PRESENTS
any hint that the newspapers will
stand together on any proposition
where newspaper interests, or a
newspaper man is the incentive, "
thus condemning the united ef-
forts of at least ninety per cent.
of the state newspapers to secure
a modification of the outrageous
libel laws and a removed OF some
of the unjust restrictions imposed
upon the press.
The organ is welcome to take
that stand. 1t caps the climax,
however, of its ignorance and sill
illness when it says that Jordan
"the old gentleman is certainly
too feeble and inexperienced in
the work that will be required of
him, to undertake to hold down
such an irksome task as filing the
office of secretary of state. " The
absurdity of this statement will
be readily seen when it is known
that the Office of secretary of state
is the easiest and "softest snap"
within the gift Of the people of
the state. The duties are chiefly
clerical, such as any intelligent
eighteen-year old boy, or even a
nonagenarian can easily dis
charge. 1t is a high and respon-
sible position in that it requires
one of integrity and dependable
ty to render an acceptable service.
But there is no reason why nor Is
it in harmony with Democratic
principles to let one man home
stead" such an office. Doubtless
the chief reason why Hon. H.,
H. Clay Crawford wants to keep
it indefinitely is because of its be-
ing such an easy job.
In conclusion, we will say that,
if the people decide in the coming
primary to keep Mr.. Crawford in
office, they had as well give him
a lifelong title to the position,
for this is the last chance they
will have to effect a change in the
office. If he wins this time, no
man hereafter will dare to run "a
gainSt him.

Auburndale News:-"A. p. Jordan sec
rotary of State" The name and the title
look good together. and there is
strong probability that they will be seen
together next year for Col Jordan has
announced his candidacy for nomination
for the office. There is hardly a better
known or more loved man in many sec
tons of Florida than Col. Jordan, who
has given forty years of his life to the
service of the people. Practically all of
that time he has been editing newspa-
pers, having been at the heads of them
at Wildwood, oxford, Leesburg, Brooks
vile. Gainesville and Punta Gorda. at
which last town he now is and has been
for several years. He helped much in
the upbuildng of all these places, for
his journalism has always been of the
kindly. constructive variety, helpful and
uplifting and never destructive. The on
ly public office he has held before is that
of state pure food inspector, which he
discharged most creditably.
The present Secretary, H. Clay Craw-
ford, has been in that office for years
just how many we cannot remember
thirty or more. He has served we'll
but also long enough, and it is believed
he would not greatly object to retiring
to a well-earned rest if the voters so
suggest. Col. Jordan is man above
criticism and above reproach, and no
man could be found who would honor the
office more. He is receiving the hearty
and unanimous support of the state
press and of his multitude of friends,
and the probability of his election is very
strong. Florida would be fortunate If all
her candidates were of Col Jordan's cal
iber
