FLORIDA NEWSPAPERS

The writer has travelled far ana
wide during eighteen years OF news
paper work. He has never been in ~
section Of the United States where the
newspapers realized their RESPONSE
hilities to the communities they serve
as they do here in Florida.
Alive, boosting, and always on the
lookout for something that will help
their city and the home folks'-ap-
rears to be the motto nailed over the
door Of every editorial sanctum in the
state.
Some years ago, when we were in
troduced to the state, or the state to
us, we marveled at his effervescent
spirit that dubbed and overfowed
every page of the state press. We are
frank to confess that for a time we
entertained the idea that Florida edi-
tors were banded together in some
sort of mutual admiration society, for
the express purpose Of seeing who
could tell the biggest stry about the
state.
But we soon caught the spirit
soon came to realize that underneath
all this boosting was great idea
an advertising idea that within few
years was to transform this state
from sparsejy settled jungle into a
land of opportunity, with thousands
OF acres Of fertile gardens and groves,
dotted here and there with small,
modern cities, and all joined together
with miles Of The best paved roads IN
America.
Florida editors had merely found
out that it paid to advertise Florida
They realized that publicity had made
the West-and they started to write
about Florida, about the things that
actually happen and the things thai
could be done. They believed tina!
people would come to the state II they
could be made to realize what Flor
ida had to offer them.
And with dozens of other editors
all doing the same thing, and will

tons of the United States and Can

life was not worth living until he met
his chum, Rodney Dolson, who was
an optimist of the first order win
ready smile and willing hand for
every friend. His advice to Billy was
that he should Immediately marry
someone else and get his publicity In
first. 1t didn't make much difference
who the girl was, because he could
pay her q couple Of thousand and SEND
her to Reno in a few weeks.
When Billy. after several drinks,
agreed, the search for a bride began.
They went to a show, saw Dennis and
Doyle. and decided on the young lady
then and there. A note was sent to
the girls and they met the young
men in a neighboring restaurant.
The proposition was made and Tride
Dennis accepted in the name Of Thes-
ga Doyle, the shy little thing who was
her dancing partner. Thessa could
not combat the strong wills which
coerced her and so she was married
to Billy Swayne, scion Of one OF
New York's oldest societies.
Later. when Trix sees the splendor
OF Billy's house, she tries to hold him
up for ten thousand dollars. Billy re-
fuses to be blackmailed and the
youth abduct tn egirls and take them
aboard Billy's seagoing yacht. The
yacht catches fire and the entire par
ty is forced to abandon it. After be-
ing the life boat for many hours they
are picked up by tramp steamer
going to Cuba. The captain Of the
steamer falls in low ewith Tessa and
being sceptical of the story that she
tells, gives her a card to his mother
to use in case she should ever need
a friend. This card more than a year
later is found in Tessa's purse after
she has been struck down by a truck.
And at the hospital they call up Cap
tain Peters mother and bring her to
Tessa's bedside.
Here she again meets Peter, who
tries to make her love him. She tells
him that this is impossible, as she
loves the man who married her, but
whom she has not seen in more than
a year. Tessa, during her conva-
lescence, has learned tipping, and now
through the aid of friend, she gets
a position as secretary to Countess di
Raspoli, who has come to help with
the war relief work. At bazaar
Tessa sees Billy's mother.
Much adventure and many tears
which finally melt into smiles are
Tessa's share from now on. The pic
ture is delightfully."- human and is
warranted to hold the interest Of the
most blase fan.

We are bit suspicious of these
price reductions we are reading about.
They seem to have come about too
easily and spontaneously, and are
almost too good to be true. We won.
der how much real reduction is being
made, or If there is not considerable
samoufage. When we can buy a
pound Of sugar for dime or a pound
Of bacon for quarter, we'll have
more faith.
Mr.. Fletcher was asked, after he
was through speaking, and utterly
wearied by strenuous day, to ex-
plain the difference between the Cum
Minis bill, which he voted against, and
the Esch-C ummins conference bill,
which he voted for. It required the
combined wisdom Of Congress and
others called into conference, for
several weeks, to effect these chang
%, and the question asked Senator
Fletcher certainly could not be an
swered by yves" or mo-" One feature
Of the conference bill that we recall
strikes us as an Improvement, and
that is 1t provides for representation

Will have railroad matters in charge
The original bill provided for repre-
sentation on the commission by the
railroads and by the employees, but the
public, that pays the bill, had no rep
resentation. The bill as passed
seems to have had the intent to be
fair to the railroad owners and to the
employees. While providing 5h per
cent interest on the investment IN
railroad property, it also provides
that there shall be no reduction OF
the pay Of employees during the pc
Rod covered by such guarantee.
