Q i & menting upon it says ke {8 leaving TODAY'S BIRTHDAY HONORS " his paper in charge of his better o g !mmmm{ riine-tenths. Hetherington is one of | thehardest workers and ablest writ. p- ers in the newspaper field of Flor-! {da, and yet when the writer was in Joseph Russcll Knowland, Repul 'lican, of Alameda, was born in the Nothing has done so much, nor half so much, to embitter those re- lations as the brutish lust of erim- inal negroes directed against de. fenseless white women, Such cases have always found publicity in the papers and have aroused the flerce resentment of Southern white men as no other form of crime possibly could. It is of the first import- ance to never let such a criminal go uncaptured and unpunished, and mercy to a rattlesnake would be no more misplaced. Because of a mis- taken notion of race loyalty andnot, wefeel sure, from sympathy with those wretches, negroes as a rule have not given thewhites the aid they should and which was often. times so necessary to effect capturesf in such cases, and because they haven’t distrust and dislike between the races have been intensified. But there are increasing signs that this attitude on the part of negroes ganerally toward the crim. fnals of thelr race is changing and that they ar: beginning to realize not. only their duty as citizens in suck cases, but that their own well- being will be distinctly promoted by co.operation with the other race in running down these criming!s who are a menace to both races And when they give effective assistance, as in this Haines City case, no white man can fail to recognize the great worth of such service nor help but feel a kinder disposition toward the negro race in general. —_ The Leesburg Commercial thinks that there will be little if any ser- tous opposition to the re.election of | Senator Fletcher and says there is no carthly nccessity for a change, holding that there is no logic in re- tiring a good and able man simply because some one else wants his seat. From our reading of the pa- pers we are all at sea on this sena- torial question, and while many candidates have been mentioned to succeed both the present incum- bents, we can't gather definitely who wants to succeed Fletcher and who s willing to walit for Bryan’s toga.

HIS NAME SPELLS SUCCESS. Under the above headinf, Editor Clarence Il Woods, editor of the Eustis Lake Region, the handsom. est paper in Florida, pays the fol- lowing generous compliment to the builders of the Telegram, at the same time publishing several ar- ticles by the Telesram’s editor, to- gether with his cut: Florida possesses a number of successfu] newspaper men who are alsp men of letters.
