The Lakeland evening telegram., 1917-07-30

We all sympathize with the Kis-
simmee Valley Gazette, which was
held up in the postotfice because it
publishd an alleged seditious adver-
tisement. 1t is likely that the ad-
vertisement crept in without the
publisher realizing it's full import.
lie have no sympathy, how ever,
with those who instigated the ad-
vertisement They should be pun
isheG instead of the newspaper. We
have a few seditious newspapers in
Florida, but the Kissimmee paper is
not one of them. The Department Of
Justice has an eye on one or two of
these unpatriotic publications in
South Florida, which have edltori-
ally criticised the selective conscrip
tive plan, the liberty bond sale, and
other governmental policies. The
country has no worse enemies than
those who foster dissatisfaction
and distrust by criticising the meas
ures that have been adopted to pre-
serve our national safety and honor

Does this look like religion had any
thing to do with his selection?

Does this look like religion had any
thing to do with his selection?
In humble way, he was instru-
mental in electing Governor Hrow-
ard, Governor Gilchrist and Cover
nor Trammell. He never took the
trouble to find out the denomination
Of the first two mentioned, bu. he
knows they did not worship in the
same pew as he does. He chances
to know that Mr.. Trammell is
Baptist, but that did not prevent
him from being known throughout
the State as Mr.. Trammell's warm
est friend and staunchest supporter.
And why should his criticisms of
Governor Cats be attributed to re-
ligious differences any more than the
score or more of able and conscien-
tious editors who are equally free
with such criticism? Is Editor Frank
Harris actuated by religious preju-
dee in his almost daily observations
as to the remarkable actions of Mr..
Cats? Or Editor Benjamin, or Edi
tor Jordan, or Editor Russell and
the other editors of the State whose
paragraphs critidsing Cats, at least
as severely as the Evening Telegram
ever does, appear in the Tribune ev-
cry day?
The Evening Telegram has moth
ing against Mr.. Cats except his
manifest and proven unfitness to be
! Governor of great State. 1t is true
that Mr.. Cats came to this city
and before we had ever written an
unkind word about him, in public
address, advised the people to tear
down the Telegram building and to
boycott the paper; but as the people
paid no attention to him, we can
easily forgive him this personal
grievance.
We think the Tribune office boy
slipped in the paragraph above quot
ed and that the Tribune editor owes
us an apology

There is no occasion for people in

happiness lying around to spend one
hour in discomfort. No day need be
dark and dreary to people who are
pleasant, and who resolutely keep
their faces set towards the bright

No disappointments need drawf

Lots of bad in the world Let others
croak about it. Lots of good in the

DIFFERENCE NOT RELIGIOUS

The Tampa Tribune of this morn
ing contained the following para
graph:
about the only difference between
Editor Hetherington and Governor
Cats is religion. They do not wor-
ship in the same pew"
There was never more unfair or
unjust statement printed in the
Tribune, which is usually just and
fair.
If the Evening Telegram has kept
it's columns free from any one thing
it has been from the taint of secta-
rianism or religious prejudice. Hun
dreds of people who have read the
paper for years do not know the de-
nomination of its editor, or whether
or not he has any. They could never
get hint of this from the paper,
which has been liberal and fair with
every denomination and every shade
of belief Not one line hostile to any
religious organization or society Of
any kind has ever appeared in it's
columns. On the contrary, every de-
nomination, from the humblest to the
most powerful, has had it's earnest
and most cordial cooperation in their
work for Christianity and morality
The editor of the Evening Tele-
gram has never obtruded his religion
on any one-and he has never apol-
never sought to unsettle any mans
faith nor has he ever cast aspersion
on any religious belief, no matter
how foreign it might be to his own.
In his own household there are mem
bers who do not worship according
ito the same form as he does. He en-
courages them to follow the faith in
which they were reared, and it is
his pleasure to contribute to their
churches as cheerfully as to his own.
In the city of Lakeland there is not
o church of any denomination, so far
as he knows, in which he does not
own a plank or a stone. All his life
it has been his privilege to enjoy
the friendship and good will of the
ministers of denominations other
than his own.
So much for his attitude in regard
to religious tolerance generally. Now
let us see how much bearing relig-
fous matters have as regards his crit
icism of Mr.. Cats.
His first choice for Governor was
Hon. F. NJ Hudson. Was it because
Mr.. Hudson and he 'worshipped in
the same pew" When Mr.. Hudson,
the Methodist. was eliminated, he
supported Mr.. Knott, the Baptist
