FREE GRAPEFRUIT

Some Of the Tampa and ST. Petersburg eating
houses are serving grapefruit free with their meals
This is coed as far as it goes. All the hotels in
the state should adopt this plan. and they should
also employ policemen to stand over the table and
see that the fruit is eaten.
The grapefruit is not only one Of the most
delicious fruits but one of the most wholesome and
valuable 1t has high vitamine content, accord
ing to food experts, and thereby performs more
valuable service in Ike human economy than many
foods which are rich in what used to be regarded
as the only nutrients.
The only reason the market for grapefruit is net
bulled in every northern town is because the people
do not yet understand the value Of the fruit. A
tcste fer it has to be acquired, though the process
of doing SO is neither long nor disagreeablc and
the proper way of eating it has to be learned
But when this is done, the taste is permanent
Florida has many valuable groves which will
have to be sacrificed unless letter appreciation
of Tie value CT the product is cultivated. Hotels
can afford to serve it free this season, because the
fruits cost reEt to noEing, with the assurance that
next season every one who comes back will demand
ii at fair price. And the state Itself could we'll
afford to finance Tie free distribution, because it Is
TIE cheapest and most effective way to advertise
product which has greater potentialiGes, perhaps,
than anything else grown in Florida

As Others See 1t
BULLARD AND BRYANT

Back in December the Highlander advanced the
idea that if B. X. Billiard of this city could be per-
suaded to run for the legislature, Polk county
would have a progressive, representative legis-
lator who would do the best county in the state
credit and represent it adequately in Tallahassee.
This paper, therefore. was much pleased that
the mass meeting at Barlow Friday should have
famed him as one Of the two men whom it rec
commended to the voters as candidates Mr.. Bull
lard has not been in politics except as member
Of the Lake Wales council but he is a public
spirited man, alert, progressive, yet by no means
radical, and the Highlander is convinced that he
will make fine representative. 1t believes the
people of Polk county will nominate him.
We do not know Mr.. Bryant, the other selection,
personally, but hear fine things of him and believe
the mass meeting made no mistake in naming
him. With both the eastern and the western
part of the county represented, the "BB-Buard-
Bryant" ticket should be a winner.
There is one thing, the Highlander thinks the
convention should have done and another thing
It might well have done, in our opinion. In the
first place it should by all means have formed
county committee with one or two members
from every precinct to work for the election of
,hese two men. 1t Is not fair to ask them to run
then to throw them into the hurly burly of a
Doptical race with no organized backing. This
lack should be remedied by another meeting.
The Highlander believes there should have been
some expression Of the principles these men
stand for. This could have been done by a reso-
lutions committee or it could now be done at an
other meeting or through the medium of a public
announcement by them The Highlander does not
believe in trying to tie man down to lot OF
definite promises Outlines at Tallahassee an
honest man finds that such course hampers him
in the best interests of his people, but it does be-
lieve that certain principles could well be enun.

and let the cloud that lowers pass.
All needless of its spell.
To seek the brighter side. of all
That comes athwart my way,
And every morning to recall
Some happy bygone day;
To thrust from out my heart and mind
All evil thoughts, and means,
And everywhere | glance to find
Some beauty in the scene

WHEN THE TRUTH HURTS.
Newspapers Don't Take Pleasure in
Printing the Court Records.

Court news is rarely pleasant; it is
almost always unpleasant for some
one. The staring lines that tell of a
relatives disgrace are painful. 1t
gives a newspaper no pleasure to add
to the suffering of the innocent or
increase the modification of the gull
ty, but the public has right to know
what it's courts are doing, and as a
matter of news, the records Of the
courts, from recorders court to su-
preme >urt, are published.
Scarcely a week passes that some
one does not request, beeseech, cajole
and plead with the Index-Journal to
leave his name or the name of some
friend OF relatives out Of the report of
court proceedings. 1t is never pleas
ant to cause pain, and the Index
Journal regrets that the truth hurts,
but such requests cannot be granted.
In fairness and justice to all, names
cannot be deleted to shield anyone. 1t
would not be just to publish one
mans name and leave another's out.
High or low, the names in the records
of the courts are treated imperson-
ally. It is matter Of news that the
public wants and has a right to
know. The Index-Journal makes an
honest effort to be just and fair to
all.
The newspaper that bears grudge
and "has an axe out" to avenge per-
sonal grievances is a failure as a
newspaper. A newspaper should pre-
sent the facts, as accurately as it
can, without bias or favoritism.
When it fails to do this. it fails to
live up to the ethics of the profession,
for newspa pers have code of ethics,
whether the public recognizes it or
not. If the devil himself were to
come to town with Gathering hoofs
and brandished pitchfork,. a newspa-
per would owe it to it's code of ethics
to be fair in it's report of the event
whether it liked the devil or not.
Every descent newspaper stands fol
order, law, sobriety and decency in
the community. 1t may condemn
with yigor in editorials, practices and
policies, but when it comes to giving
an account of the news, the facts are
presented, whther they condemn OF
condone, and these facts, cold anc
unassailable, speak for Themselves
