speech on the THE Provincial

"A newspaper is public institu-

functions if devoted selfishly.
AS a fundamental principle, it is
agreed that the truth is the basis of
all correct journalism. To go beyond
the truth is betrayal OF trust To
suppress the truth when it properly
belongs to the public is always to be
condemned and never practiced.
" Control of news or comment for

OLD WAR VETERAN LAYS
OUT CHlLD'S PLAYGROUND

Midway, Mass, Oct. 13.-Elmer l..
Videtto, veteran of the Civil war,
crippled and partly blind, has laid out
playground near his home here so
that he may listen to the voices of
children. For years Videtto visited
the schools and tcld the pupils war
stories. When after the most recent
of several accidents he was obliged
to give up active work as stone
mason he conceived the idea of
bringing children to him. He pur-
chased land across the street from
his home and although the -ihfirmities
of rs years and his injuries made the
work slow, he cleared away the I'M
derbrush, and built seats, swings and
fitting boards for his child friends
Here the children gather each day
while Videtto sits on the ,veranda of
his home or mingles with them to
tell again the stories they love to
hear.

an apartment house to cost $4,000.
Lakeland's September permits
amounted to $79,105 and the total for
the first nine months of the year was
$685. 55. Prospects for boom in con-
struction the last three months of the
year are bright, one of the projects
including the buildings for Southern
College, which will cost several hun
nred rnousand dollars.
September aggregated approximately
$4,000 and there is every indication
that building during the last three
months of the year VIII be more
brisk than heretofore. 1t is estimated
that construction this year already
has amounted to approximately 81
05G000. The largest single project
authorized in September was a $780,

all of 1920 was only $110,6S5, and for
1919. $3.50. The largest single pro-
ject authorized in September was
residence to cost SIS, 800. 1t is expect
ed that permits issued the last three
months of the year will exceed in
value those issued the first nine
months as the Florida East Railroad

A SEA tragedy

IF THE news of ten or more fishermen
j drowned at their work had come to GlOu-
cester, Mass, or TO Halifax or st. John !
instead of to Anglcsca, y. j., there would
have been sorrow among the people waiting
on shore and sense of tragedy. But it
would have been n familiar sorrow and
sense Of tragedy dulcd a little by uncnding
and bitter experience.
The toilers in Northern waters are never
out of danger. But it is seldom that the
weather off the Jersey coast is violent
enough to ovcrwhelm experienced deep sea
fishermen. The drowning off Five Mile
Beach therefore has the appearance Of
catastrophe, like an accident in mine or
ON a railroad.
There is something infinitely pitiful in the
sight Of man overcome and killed BY the
forces with which he must graphic for the
means TO live. Few People ever think Of
the sea as a place of grucling toll or Of the
army that is forever matching strength and
will against 1t. So there is more than Il
touch of the oldest drama in the news from
Jerseys vacation beaches. There is Il re-
minder of the extent and variety Of our life
and of the hardness Of lie itself for great
mutitudCs of men and women who bear the
heaviest burden in silence because they have
yet to find poet or voice to present their
cause to the world Of busy and contcntcd
folk who couldn't live without them.
