Now that the rest of the news- | papers have concluded the argument | for and against the system of trial by | jury, The Herald assumes the role of judge and decides as follows: The system is all right. It is the manner lin which it is carried out that so of- 'len results in the defeat of justice. As originally contemplated a man has the right of trial by a jury of his peers, that is, his equals in social standing and intelligence. No man should be permitted to serve on a jury unless he be of good character, respected by his neighbors, possess- ed of a common school education, and regularly engaged in some legitimate occupation. Paupers, loafers, va- grants, ignorant persons and those who do not have the respect and es- teem of their neighbors, should by no means be permitted to serve as jurors. Put only men of intelligence character and respectability on jur- jes, and we shall have no more miscarriages of justice as have here- tofore resulted from the jury sys- tem. Another thing: the number of challenges allowed the defendant in criminal cases is beyond all rea- son and should be reducci fully cne- half. As at present managed, the defendant can select a jury composed wholly of men of his own selection. This is a prolific cause of judiciu) farces. Aspirants for elertion tc the legislature should carnestly sti.dy this subject and endeavor to fermu- [1ate and secure the enactment of the law for the enactinent of the jury system along the lines suagested above.--Punta Gorda iferald $5.25 meal tickets for $4.50 at Hansard's Cafe.

We have | as a modest ambition to collect a few | of these germ collectors. 4 C i Pensacola has appropriated the princely sum of $500 with which to fight mosquitoes. The object of such an appropriation must have heen to create an impression abroad that mosquitoes are mighty scarce in the Deep Water City., However, if judiciously expended, this sum may result in the slaughter of at least 500 mosquitoes. e (e —— A. M. C. Russell, in his paper, the Brooksville Argus, states that he is receiving much encouragement in his candidacy for State School Superin- tendent, on a free school book plat- form. It is suggested that, while school books may be “free,” they will cost something. True—but the burden of cost will be placed where it properly belongs, on these best able to bear it. The plan has been tried out in Hernando county and there, it is reported on reliable authority, the cost of school books per capita has been exceedingly low. Any plan that will bring the price- less boon of education within the reach of the poor boys and girls of this State is well worth considering, and free school books would seem to | be a movement in that direction. e Notwithstanding Tom Appleyard's | interminable series of lamentations| and woeful prophecies in regard %o | uniform | school book law, there are few people‘ the awful effects of the in Florida who do not comsider it about the best work done by the last Legislature, and a measure in the interest of the masses.

A (" | The editor of the Burlington Junc- tion Post goes on record as follows: “At this writing we have no de- sire to leave this vale of tears and; hurl ourselves upon Abraham’'s bos- om, but if we should desire to do so, we wouldn't lean up against a load- ed gun and then pull the trigger, as many do. Neither would we eat a solid meal of rough on rats, blow out the gas, drink concerntrated lye, sit dawn in the lap of a buzz saw, smoke cigarettes, or call a Kentuck- ian a liar or a poor judge of whiskey. We would simply get out an edition of our paper in which we would strive to the best of our ability to print the plain, square truth as we understand it, and then calmly await the end.” 4 ! | THE UNLOADED GUN “Everybody is familiar with the tragedy of the unloaded gun which happened to be loaded. A gun is a dangerous instrument to fool with, as many persons have found out to their everlasting sorrow. To shoot one's neighbor is no pleasant exper- fence for either party to the transac- tion. No one wants to be shot and no sensible person wants to be re-‘ sponsible for helping any body out of existence by contributory negligence, or otherwise. If these trite but few | facts were borne in mind there would be fewer accidents during the | hunting season; fewer funerals, few- er prestrations and a whole lot more! of individual enjoyment and general | satisfaction.” | | WE WORK, OF COURSE.

Her influence up-| lifts and ennobles. Without the ex-. ample she sets civilization would | languish and the world would mp-‘ idly deteriorate says the (-reen\ille Times. She teaches man by precept and example, the higher duties of life. | The gentleness of her nature will} drive the brute out of man, if any. power on earth will do it. i Men who are not habitually asso-| ciated with woman, lose the finer: qualities of their natures and become at heart, coarse, vulgar and selfish. i This may be hidden by an assumed manner, but the lack of the lnflu-' ence of woman has robbed the life of something which can never be re-, placed. ! The man who has lost respect nnd admiration for woman is depraved. | He has surrendered the motive pow- er, the moving force of right living. ! His course is thereafter downward. The man who will not be manly because of the influence of women' friends, his mother or wife, is hope- lessly lost. \WWoman has uplifted the world to where it rests today and is the pow- er holding it there.
