MARTIN AND HIS GROUCH Mr. John W. Martin, late collec- tor of the port of Jacksonville be- fore all Florida was united in one district for customs collection pur- poses, is kicking through many col- umns of the press because he wasn't continued in the office after all the districts were combined in one, which made it the best job in the State, and Cooper Griggs was ap- pointed to the place. Tt seemed to be the general impression at the time of Martin’s appointment that it was only a pro tem affair anid that he was to step down after the combining of all the districts, but Martin isn’t looking at it that way. He is “sore” on Senator Fletcher about the mat- ter and takes up much newspaper space to air his erievance. The in- cldent is closed and Mr. Martin micht as woll reeornize it. The Tam- pa Tribune sets forth what is doubt- less the true status of the matter as follows: “John W. Martin, the Jacksonville salesman who butted in to the col- lectorshin of that port for the,ad in- terim appointment and then tried to ! holid on to the biguer State job when i the reorcanization of the vnstomsi sgervice went into effect, is now said to be fichtine Senator Fletcher for all he is worth. A statement fmm[ Washington, including a letter from | Secretary McAdoo, gives the whole story of the much-discussed Martin appointment. It is a ment almost entirely to Senator Fletcher and the senator, in fact, got a great deal of criticism for advocating a person who had abso- lutely no claim upon the party for | elongated bunch of principles. He |ry with him the good wishes of the | such an important position. Mar- tin's present attitude of hostility to present Democratic administration in | the man who secured him recogni- tion entirely out of proportion to his‘ deserts shows him to be a thankless individual and makes it all the more gratifying that an individual of his| character did not succeed in landing in the state collectorship.” O Thomas A. Edison, the inventor, says that he brought suit against Jay Gould forty years ago for the balance due him for the use of one of his telegraph inventions and that suit has been in the courts ever since. Tom ought to invent some sort of a storage battery to speed up justice in the American courts. He has been constantly in litigation for the last forty years in connection with his patents and inventions, and what he ! thinks about the law as it is admin- istered in this country is worth read- ing. He says: “There is no justice in law. It has resolved fitself into technicali- ties and formulas. A case will be thrown out of one court and carried to another; it-will be sent back on writs and advanced on argument, and bandied back and forth more for the exercise of legal practice than for the attainment of justice. Where an important case might be settled in a short time by the use of com- mon sense, it is prolonged for years through the technicality of juris- prudénce, the whole course of which defdaks the object sought."” —_——————— That was a cracking good speech made the other day in the House by Hon. Emmett Wilson, of Pensacola, congressman from the Third district, on the Glass currency bill, And there was no midnight oil smell about it either. 1t came in reply to a speech from a Republican member and although it was compressed into a few moments it was a masterpiece of clear-cut reasoning in strong, ringing sentences that would have done eredit to any veteran in the Iouse. Mr. Wilson is quite a young man, serving his first term, but that speech proves him a statesman of full size for his job and a mighty cood man for his constituents to keep where he is as long as he wants to stay there. 0.

Why is this, Frederick? With Woodrow in the saddle as the concrete symbol of triumphant De- mocracy you must endorse him un- reservedly before you can hope to go to Congress as an orthodox Demo- crat from this good old Democratic district. ———————e Bryan Mack, who made a state- wide reputation as a paragrapher on ! the Pensacola Journal, then quit and | went to Jacksonville, where he op- erated a linotype on one of the pa- | pers there, 8 now back in Pensacola holding down a linotype in the Jour- | nal office. We don’t blame Mack for going back. Pensacola is a charming city; the Journal office is bully in all its departments, and as for dain- ty, petite, brown-eyed beauties in | that part of the State—don't talk; we're glad to locate Mack once more. ! SO Governor Sulzer and Harry Thaw are both now so well tangled up in the laws of their beloved country that it will test the ingenuity and learning of a large corps of lawyers to even discover ‘‘where they are at,” legally speaking, to say noth- ing of the merits of the case on the facts. Thaw’s personality is so densely uninteresting that it will re- quire hard pumping to get any mcre thrills out of his case; and there is a singular lack of dramatic tone and color in the Sulzer case due chiefly to the pose of Sulzer himself who {acts like a guilty man relying on cheap effrontery to pull him through. o S A little defeat like that in Ma-/ | rion county weighs little against the 7tr4-nwmlnn:~; string of victories ac- feredited to the cause of prohibition | all over the country in recent years. i It will not have an even momentar- t ily discouraging effect upon the | mighty host under the white banner | that has set itself to conquer the | worlil. 1t was merely “an affair of | outposts” and has no significance. el Frank Walpole has been a well- known figure in the weekly journal- ism of Florida for a good many years, but he has quit the game and has General] | { don Drantley, of Georgia, was hurn‘ | | a candidate to succeed Joe Lee up i1 Jacksonville, if we recall it rightly, | : but he didn’t arrive.
