This is certainly as it should be and every bar association in the Union could not devote its annual meeting to a more profitable and pa- triotic work. The need for law reform, especially in couvy. pro- cedure, is glaringly obvious in every State, and as we have no prospect for such reform, except through the work of the lawyers themselves, as they dominate all the legislatures, 4t is a hopeful sign when the bar associations make discussiong of that character the leading feature of ' their meetings. i Lawyers of the superior class who s seek to make the courts responsive to the demands of sure and speedy Justice rather than the refuge of criminals and the forum of tech- nical tricks, are increasing in num- bers and manifesting a strong pur- pose to wipe out the ancient and discredited methods by which jus- tice is so often defeated in its own temples, and we count among the big reforms of the near future the establishing of a better system of court procedure that will eliminate the time-worn absuiities and make the law respected by all good men and feared by all the bad ones. Here in Florida all our big law- yers, the en of large vision whose minds are not hampered by the tech- pical fetish, are in favor of law re- form, and, while the last Legisla-- | ture refuced to do its plain daty and enact into law the recommendations of the commission of eminent law- yers appointed for that purpose, we reed not despair, for the leaven is workinz and before many yearg we will elect a Legislature with enough : large-minded lawyers in it to sweep 1 maway the antediluvian technical rubbish which now encumbers and clogs our court procedure and give us a system inspired by common sense and the love of justice for its own sake. —_ 0— In its charactevistic philosophie spirit in the discussion of large sub- Jects the Ocala Danner considers the liquor question and reaches the con- | clusion that booze ig doomed all over the world. Like the institv- tion of ¢lavery which has prevailed at one time or another in all ages and lands, demnation is upon it. conc'udes its expositicn of the sub- Jeet with these words: “In the recognition of the ‘father- fhoc] of God and the brotherhood of man,” the world hag witnessed a pew birth, in that we now hold fast to the belief that we are ‘our broth- b er's keeper,’ and seeing that wine drinking is so sadly and badly mbuse! that an awakened public conscience in this nation and among all the enlightened and civilized na- tions of the carth have solemnly re- golved and decreed that despite its age and origin, and the hold which ft hag hagd upon the customs and practices of the world, like slavery, wine and strong drink must go."” —o0 As the superlative merits of the Florida grapefruit become known the demand for it increases. It has 4 now invaded the prize ring and the N football fleld. The New York World of late date says: “The bell had just clanged the end of the first round in the fight detween Leach Cross and “one- ’ were the fruit. eating A trainer explained that as a thirst quenchcr inefruit is snperior to both the n and oranze so long used in ~here endurance counts. ve been piving their men ciruit after the morn- £ ‘e, another portion in the afternoon and a third at night.” o The new catalogue of the Univer- sity of Florida now being distributed shows that during the last session of that institution there wasan at- tendance of 322 students from twen- ty-one States and foreign countries. A good showing for a young school in a sparsely settled State and found- | ed only eight years ago. As was confidently predicted when Presidenv Murphree was placed at the head of the University last year, it has been very greatly improved in all re- spects, its attendance has more than doubled and it is now in fact as well as name an institution of higher learning where the young men of Florida can get a genuine university education. — Wo have our solemn doubts about the stvict propriety of Secretary Bryan's action in leaving his office for six weeks to the care of a subor- dinate while he goes off on a lec- ture tour to gather in the sheckels as he did when he was a private citizen. Of course he is entitled to hig vacation and to enjoy it as his taste directs, but it would be more in keeping with the dignity of a great cabinet officer to take it as his chief does and not as a thrifty silver-tonzue who wants to make ev- ery edge cut and earn money on the sile while drawing a government salary. —_—— From away up in Michigan comes the frank admission from one of the best papers in that State that ‘“‘the northern is hotter than the southern summer;” and to this we merely add that the Florida summer has | less prostrating heat than any oth- | course in 1876, the seal of general con- | , s | of auiern oy | ter's dezree in 1878; The Banner southern State.
