As for Mr, Roosevelt, who will also get l‘n beating and is probably advised of the'fact in advance of the event, ‘n‘. one expects him to feel solemn, as there is no evidence that he has ever yet been in that frame of mind. It is too near a penitential status to suit the Roosevelt temperament. e R o We believe that in the following paragraph the Ocala Star has ex- presed the opinions of the over- whelming majority of the Demo- crats of Florida, which for all prac- tical purposes might as well be un- animous: “Mr. Gilchrist has made the Stat? a good governor and has shown much golid sense in many matters. The Star has approved of most of his official decisions and has never seen reason for abusing him in any. Ii Florida never has a worse executive, she will be lucky.” Ao e o AL, The newspaper industry is boom- ing up in Jacksonville. Two new Up in Cummings, Ga., the other day two negroes were legally hanged by the sheriff for criminal assault on a woman and the dispatch announc- ing the fact said that it was the first l legal hanging in that county fo:| fifty years. And so great is our faiti in the efficacy of prompt and nde-! quate punishment—administered by ! law—that we predict with conn-l dence that there will be no repeti- tion in that county of the crime for which those negroes were executed. Lynching kills one criminal and stirs vindictive, revengeful passions ir a thousand others who are only votential criminals, some one or! more of whom seize the first o;..or- tunity to “get-even” with the mol and the white race by perpettrating a like crime. But the stern and so emn execution of the death mandat of the law arouses ng feeling of re-| venge, no race hatred, no criminm instinct-—but rather fear of that great, terrible, invisible power called the justice of the law, surc and dead- Iy as Fate itself, which knows no dis- tinction of race or color, or wealth or social station, and it is upon that fear we must rely if we would LET THE LAWYERS PLAY FAIR WITH THE PEOPLE el by The lawyers in Jacksonville are oestirring themselves to secure sup- ’port for the proposed comstitutional. amendment to create an additional circuit judgeship for Duval county. A committee of the local bar there is circulating 20,000 copies of a let- ter giving reasons Why the amend- ment should be adopted, and one oi them is as follows: “Qur litigation is being handled | today by the same machinery pro- videq for us twenty-seven years ago, : although we have more than fou: times as much population and busi- | B ness.” No one will quarrel with that rea- n why a new judgeship should be created, and, reasoning along a par- allel line, we want to osk our legal friends a single pertinent question suggested by the quotation -above from their printed appeal to support the amendment: If court machin- ery only twenty-seven years in use is too old to meet the requirements of present day litigation, why isn't i rocrastinate ALL and see the wonderful line of Dress Goods weare show- ing with all the new Imported Trimmirgs to match, and you wil| be convinced that you can get what you want at prices that will suit you.
