The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1922-02-25

Fort Myers was seventy-two years old last
Monday. While not in the venerable class with
ST. Augustine and Pensacola. the county seat of
Lee is by no means spring chicken as we folks
in Florida are prone to regard age when thinking
of Miami West Palm Beach, ST. Petersburg and
some of the new towns of Florida. According to
the Fort Myers Press, militia troops were estab-
lished at a post on the shores of the Caloosa-
hatchee river on February 20, 1850, the post
being named Fort Myers in honor of Colonel
Abram c. Myers. noted veteran of the Mexican
war and at that time chief quartermaster of the
war department of Florida, branch of our state
government long ago abolished. Fort Myers was
in those days the center of activity in the Indian
war, the Seminoles being driven southwark into
the Businesses of the Everglades. Thus did Fort
Myers have its beginning. Those who know the
present beautiful city are willing to concede that
it is of the most attractive places in Florida
and some day, when Lee county builds decent
highway system, there will be thousands of people
who will want the privilege Of passing judgment
on the generally accepted statement that Fort
Myers really and truly is worth visiting.

THE MISSION OF NEWSPAPER
(Orlando Reporter.Star.)


DR.. George Stuart was not knocking the news
papers when he said that too many of them gave
too much space to nonsense and too little space
to sense. He charged that there seemed to be an
Inclination on the part Of some to get off cheap
jokes on sober subjects In these statements, DR..
Stuart did not knock any newspaper true to
It's mission. He in these charges complimented
the newspapers that refuse to turn their columns
over to junk dealers by way of copy.
With many large daies there is a tendency
to strive after volume rather than quality With
the smaller city papers, there is too often weak.
ness for canned goods. The cheapest trashiest
stuff that will do for filler is bought from syndi,
Gates that are not at all discriminating, and in
many cases are paid propagandists of vile and
evil interests. This propaganda Is cunningly
cloaked so as to get a reading without the evil
influence back of it being revealed. Better an
eight-page paper wellflled with good and whole.
some news than sixteen-page paper or forty.
sightpage paper filled with this canned stun
only fit for the garbage can.
Then too as stated by DR.. Stuart, all too many
newspapers guage their editorial columns by their
advertising columns They pussyfoot on every sub.
ject that they think will affect their advertisers
This Is false and foolish attitude. People read
the newspapers that have q definite editorial pol.
icy, fesrlessly striking out in line with that policy
Tbs editor who depends on the mails and shears
to I'LL his editorial columns serves no very useful
purpose and will soon ind the reading public
leaving him. People who read newspapers have 4
right TO expect something more than cheap jokes
and syndicated filler. The liberal use made OF
these by many Of the newspapers of the country
has brought general criticism on the press.

From news standpoint the greatest event of
the week has been the awful disaster near Newport
News, the huge drigible airship Roma, purchased
through failure of the elevatng rudders to work.
Contact with live electric wires caused the

by an explosion and fire that made certain the
death of the thirty-four people who might have
survived the crash to earth. Poor fellows, they
died bravely, their lives snufed out in an instant

Newspapers have been studiously following the
court proceedings in those cities where arrests of
confidence men have been made and every bit of
interesting detail regarding the cases has been
published. 1t used to be said that the wire
tapping gang could get away with the game by
putting up small bond, never to be seen again.
But to the credit Of the judiciary, be it said that
practice las been stopped and instead Of ridcu-
lou:y small bonds being required and accepted,
the amounts have been enormously large, so much
so in some instances that the scalawags have been
compelled to remain in Jail until time fer trial.
Those who have been able to secure the money
have followed the precedent of other seasons,
packed their grips and departed for fresh pas
lures. For those who remain and are contemplate
ing carrying on their operations. it will be we'll
to have them understand that when they get into
the hands Ct the law they are going to be called

name of Florida and to put it modesty. a severe

With the first days of the Florida spring which
often come to this section of the state about mid
February, there arise in the minds of the visitors
who are spending their first winter in the South,
thoughts of home and, because they see on all
sides in this beautiful Polk county the bursting of
buds and blossoms on trees and shrubs. they draw
mental pictures Of green fields and pleasant pastures
in Kentucky, Ohio. Indiana or Mchigan-which-
ever state they may call home" However, a
study of the weather map and a reading of the
temperature tabulations as prepared by the United
States weather bureau, will bring conviction that
it is not yet springtme in the North For instance,
