AGE FOUR. Evening- Telegram blished every afternoon from the ntucky Building, Lakeland, Fla. Entered in the p&tomco at Lake- Florida, as mail matter of the ong clses. F. HETHEmNUITON, EDITOR.

B s o Governor Sulzer talks like a man l who had a good defense, and maybe i he has. The country had adjudged him guilty without waiting for the " evidence in the case. We have hopes ¥ of Sulzer yet and we expect the tes- i timony to make his alleged offense ! look many shades lighter. But no " matter how guilty he may be, he is i better than the male prostitute of # Tammany barking at his heels. ————r 4 The latest is that Frank L. Mayes absolutely refuses to be considered [ as a candidate for United States " marshal for the Northern district of " Florida. Why he should have been . periously thought of at all in that . connection has always been a mat. ¢ ter of surprise to his friends. Mr. [ Mayes has ability and character of L high order, but as United States I marshal chasing moonshiners and b hauling in other offenders vi et ' ‘armis he would be a peg in the L wrong hole. B | 1 Park Trammell has been governor of Florida nearly a year, and every- » body seems to be satisfied. Judg- i ing by the vote the governor re- I ceived last year, nearly everybody in [ Florida was satisfled with him be- i fore he was made governor.—Miami { Herald. And that kind of praise after a I year in harness is the “well done, £ good and faithful servant” which [ 'every right-thinking official strives | for. Governor Trammell has re- i eeived less adverse criticism than any of his predécessors during the " same length of time for many years i past. He has made good as the § chief executive of Florida. 2 ———— 5 Another prize fighter killed unin- . tentionally by the fist of his adver- ' pary, in California this time, will . start a new wave of popular indig- nation against that form of sport. i But when we read of the many hun- L dreds killed intentionally by knife ¢ and pistol in the United States.every i year and try to balance that ac- . count against two prize fighters i killed by accident during the past f year we are forced to believe that the “manly art” is not as black as {1t 18 painted, even with Jack John. ¢ son to give color to it, and that our t civilization would be all the better i it we directed more indignation . against the knife and pistol artists, ¢ even if it made us less intolerant of [ the husky brutes of the prize ring. B - St : The Pensacola News wants Gov- - ernor Trammell to follow the ex- *_ ample of the governor of Missouri § And issue a good roads proclamation i that would bring out 250,000 en- ‘thusiastic citizens with pick and ! phovel who would shuck their coats i and construct two hundred miles of i good country roads in one day. Gov- ¢ ernor Trammell might try the ex- periment but we doubt if the results . Wwould be encouraging. The physical ¢ conditions in Florida and Missouri . are totally dissimar, and digging . deeper into the philosophy of the | case we could easily find a number ' of reasons that would make it a work of supederogation on tHe part . of the governor of Florida to waste good paper on any such proclama. tion. o S — . Albert Williamson, of the Flori- i dian, is right when he says that Bén' ,’rlllmln is{ the biggest man that . Bouth Carolina has produced fn fifty _ years. That rugged old fighter is ' Indeed a rare combination of brains, - hackbone, honesty and courage. and i When he went to the Senate, com- . paratively raw and crude, nothing | Detter attested the fine quality of Ris brains than the fact that he dis- " gaissed many of his prejudices and ‘preconceptions when he discovered ' from his broader point of view that * he had been mistaken. It is deeply ' 20 be regretted that Senator Till- l‘ mann’s health doeg hot permit™him E t0 take a more active part in the de- . Dates of the Senate, for his intense | individuality and large intelligence . zarely fail to throw new light upon . Any subject he discusees.— He is still the lion of the Senate, even though s crippled one. .

BAONN (Continued from Page 1.) ness of your article in the last issue of Dixie. Awaiting your answer, I beg to J. C. BROWN. The statement that I am whip- sawed into mailing out interview packages, because I want to be mar- shall, is not warranted by any facts real or fancied. I havé Senator Bryan’s endorsement for marshal q,nl have had same for some time. I have been advised by friends to ignore this slanderous article ap. pearing in Dixie; that projectiles fired from that quarter are not of the armor piercing variety; that the wasp from this iconoclastic sheet has lost its sting, but I speak lest the silence of self-respect be misunder- stood. 1 do not believe L’Engle's para- mount object was to injure Mr. Bauskett or myself, but the chief object of his attack was Senator Bryan. He would willingly accuse me of plagiarism and thereby injure my character in order to assail Sen. ator Bryan. And this from a man whom the State has elected to a seat in Con- gress. A man to whom the govern- ment pays twenty dollars per day (from his point of view) to write defumatory articles about fcllow- members of the Florida delegaticn, under the caption of “What’s What in Washington.’” 1t is possible that the people will find out, in the fourth congressional district what'’s what and who's who in Washing. ton, in reality, by the time of the next primary. Mr. L’Engle’s chief claim on the people to return him to Congress, if truthfully stated, would be that he has tried to hamper the work of the other members from his State, by iconoclastic articles appearing in Dixie. Yes, it would be quite in- teresting to note What’s What ir Washington. It is true that Senators Fletcher and Bryan are holding some of the very best committee assignments. No two senators stand higher in the estimation of their colleagues and the administration officials and no men are working harder for the good of their constituency and for the country as a whole than they. Over in the House the same con- ditions exist with reference to Sparkman and Clark and the junior congressman, Hon. Emmett Wilson, Wilson made his advent into Con- be gress at the same time that L’Engle did. Wilson occupies a position on the currency committee and is ren. dering yeoman service in that ca- pacity. Where do we find “What’s What in Washington?”—The gredt L’Engle? The self-elected leader of Democracy. You can’t find him, al- though Dixie says he is staying on the job. He is assigned to the com. mittee of trict, lumbia. In Bt esiwo L}fie iifl’& pifédke in the ranks of, the City Goungil. of Washington. What good can ever accrue to this State in having such a clown representing us in Congress, who can command no higher com- mittee assignments than he holds? We did not elect this man for the purpose of writing baseless fabrica- tions for Dixie, but to represent a great State in the House of Repre- sentatives. It is a pity, indeed, that he has no higher conception of the duty he owes Florida than to frit away his time in the manner he has when such great questions confront our national law.making body. I' suggest to the gentleman who ‘was elected to Congress from the State at large and who is now at large in Washington, before he is 80.prone to criticize the work of his colleagues to take heed of the divine admonition, ‘“Thou hypo- crite, first cast out the beam out of thin own eye. and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’'s eye.” ] What piece of comstructive legis- lation have you placed on the stat- ute books? What have you accom- plished? In further reference to the sub- ject as to my article on parcel post, 1 ask Mr. L'Engle to d0 me the simple justice of acknowledging his misrepresentation, and if he will mot do this, I challenge him to produce the proof of his charges; in the event of his failure, he surely stands condemned and convieted at the bar of public opinion as a falsifier. Yours very truly, - J. C. BROWN.
