NEWSPAPERS CANNOT
AFFORD TO RUN RISKS

From headquarters of the Fourth
corps area at Fort Mcpherson, Geor-,
gia, there is sent out list of two
hundred and wtenty-siX deserters in
Dade county from the military serv-
ice of the United States, and per
mission to print" accompanies the
roster. In fact, the government is
extremely anxious that all these
names be given to the public There
is reward for the apprehension Of
any of these men, the sum being Jim
tied to not over fifty dollars.
Newspapers of this state as well as
of many other states have precipitat-
ed trouble upon themselves in the
past by printing lot Of matter Of
this nature that was compiled and
sent out by the federal authorities,
and it may be taken as an assured
fact that none of them will publish
the list received mad run a risk Of
being hailed into court for so doing;
especially as there is no payment
promised for the work. It is queer
that the government can issue mat.
ter of a personal nature and meet
with no censure, while if a newspaper
should essay to give publicity Of the
same character there would follow a
suit at law which would be embar-
RAISING if it We're not expensive.
The government is a seeker Tor
free publicity to great extent. Con-
tinually is every newspaper office IN
the entire country besieged with sup
plications to do this or do that for
the government, FIRE eof charge; but
it may be noticed that the men high
err up are not working in any capacity
for nothing. The government APP
pears to take delight in spongiug -or
propaganda in countless ways; but OF
late years these attempts have been
less successful. Publishers are re-
alizing that they have been made the
goat in thousands of instances, and
they are tired Of it; and in cases Of
this sort where there is a possibility
of expensive litigation there will be
concerted effort to refuse pubhca-
ton.
If the Fourth corps area desires to
get into print there are certain stipu-
lations to be complied with before
publications of the sort just sent out
can be published. One Of the sJipu-
lations is cash contract Another
is a signed agreement from the gov
eminent that it will stand behind all
suits which may be brought on az
count of publicity which may be en-
tirely incorrect.

THE FOOLISH LOVER
PRESERVES LETTERS

When Rev. Edward w. Hall used
to practice penmanship in writing
love songs to Mrs. Eleanor R. Mills
little he rocked that all of those mis-
sives were to be retained and would
finally be shown the world; and the
chances are that if Mrs. Hall had
ever suspicioned that such use would
be made of them she would have
burned them instanter. But no vein
of sentiment runs through Charlotte
Mills, daughter Of the dead woman,
apparently, for she has sold the col
lection of correspondence, everything
she could find, for one thousand dol
Iars-ahd IS splitting the sum fifty
fifty with her father. This financial
deal upon the part of Charlotte is ex-
pccted to bring about new develop
ments" which may or may not star
tie the reading public.

REAPPORTIONMENT

Having decided that the pr0f1ereu

state it now stands those men who
will make up the next legislative
body to lay plans to propose some
thing which will be fair and Just to

five years this matter has been al

years the majority of the two bodies
at Tallahassee have violated their
oaths to support "the constitution OF
the state;" and it is time that some
thing tangible was brought out, This

it is well nigh threadbare-yet 1t IS

PALATKA CANNOT HAVE
AN EXCESS OF HOTELS

We're there a dozen or score of
high-grade hotels in Palatka there
would be none too many; always pro-
vided that such institutions were
properly advertised to the outside
world.
This declaration has been satisfac-
torily proven in host of cities of
larger and small size. Especially in
Florida has it been found correct, as
scores of cities attribute great
share of their growth to the increas-
ing number of hostelries which are
constantly being erected and draw
ing large patronage.
There cannot be found in the state
today city whic hhas not taken on
new growth and new impetus each
time a new hotel has been construct
ed and opened; even though the same
city was supposed to be welql equip
ped in the hotel line before the new
one was planned. But it is necessary
that there be an era of propaganda
for the city and the locality in order
to bring about such result; and this
can be done only by united effort
upon the part of the whole people.
There is room in Palatka for adj
ditional hotels. There is space in
which TO locate them. There could be
brought to this city and county a
sufficient number of visitors to sup
port them; and as the city advanced
nj Importance there would be found
the need for more of them. But such
condition cannot be brought about
through apathy. There must be 9
campaign of publicity, and the PEG.
pie, all the people, must help in the
work to spread the propaganda. Only
in that way will success be achieved

How Newspapers Help.
The newspaper starts in
When you are born;
Relates about your excellence
And tells about your sweetness
1t follows you to school,
And prints the honor roll
Ii your name is found there.
It tells of your graduation
And speaks of the excellence
Of your magnificent essay;
It tells of your progress
During your college career
And then dilates much about
The choice of your location.
Then it gives a nice notice
About your marriage
And praises up the blnshing bride
Till her folks don't know her.
Then, in due course of events,
1t tells about the bouncing baby
That happens in your family
Thereby beginning its life work
All over> and over again.
The newspaper does all this
And it also does much more.
1t tells of the progress
Made by the city and county
And boosts all enterprises;
Gives free advertising
Worth thousands of dollars
To its own home town.
There are scads of things
That all good newspapers do

those vehicles are entering the state

CARPENTER GAVE
FANS REAL THRILL
Vicious Smash Came Within Ace
of Winning Championship.
of the Frenchman in That Famous
Second Round.

It's true very probably that much
of the glory and grandeur have been
stripped from the ring sport. There
is an appalling dearth of the old ro-
mantle characters whose eScapadeS
furnished so much cOlorful literature
in the bygone period. For one thing
you don't find any George Silers or
Charley Whites in the refereeing game
any more. No important fight was
ever considered strictly official in the
old days unless Siler or White was
on hand to handle it. Billy Jordan's
fame as an announcer in the days of
Fitz and Corbett and Jeff was ma
tion-wide.
The best known referee in America
today is Harry Ertle, of New Jersey.
There is nothing picturesque about
him. He's trim built, athletic look
ing chap, with pair of steady eyes
and generous shock of hair that
is rapidly turning gray.
Ertle has handled some big fights,

others Ertle confesses that the big

was in the second round when the
Frenchman sent Dempsey spinning
backwards with furry of hooks.

Il can still hear the ominous swish
of his gloved hand as it came tearing
through the hot July atmosphere. For
the slightest fraction of second
