The badge was presented committee of railway engineers, rep- by a Atlantic Coast Line railroad, but also the conductors and trainmen as well. Message Delivered islature regulating the expenditures of candidates was designeq to cure a serious eyil, but it will amount to nothing wunless rigidly enforced. Goveror Trammell's letter to the sheriffs of the State, published in fyesterday’s Telegram, will refresh the memories of those officials and stimulate them in the enforcement of this new Jaw. L Lt As a companion picture to that of the Gegrgia country merchant who Was recenily robbel of $10,000 taken from the safe in bis store by yeggmen we pr 1t the sad story of the man up in Michigan who last Friday nizht logt his home by fire and with it his life savings of $7, 500 in currency, which he lu]n with him rather than treet the bank. The moral in both cases is plain, 0 The approaching session of the Florida Press Association at Fort s will be madn especially at- tractive by the President Marshall tor a speech on that occasion. Marshall has that rare and presence of Viee who is Mr. big bookcd|! In addition to the presentation re- marks (‘>f the committee, consisting of W. M. Parker and R. H. Wal- thour, a message in writing was de- livereg to Mr. Brown from railroad men as follows: “My brother, durtng your years of gervice amonz us as a locomotive engineer, your record, conduct and life hap won for you our confidence, ‘n-spw: ang esteem, and as a small token of our appreciation of you and your work in ouwr rankg, we hope vou will accept thig jewel and with it goes our best wishes for your ealth, happiness and prosperity.” This was signeq by all of the fof mer railway coworkers of Marshal Brown, who for a number of years was one cof the engineers on the At lantic Coast Line rattroad and who alwavs took an active part in the af fairs of the Order of Railway Con- ductors, Brothirhood of Railway Trainmen and DBrotherhood of Loco- Marshal ‘Brown, provious to Lis appointment, i in cakeland and during the last ses sion of the Legislature repre- gsentative from Polk county and was aincer lnmll\u- 1 resid was thing called personality and he is one of the most afttraciive orators in the country. ths presence will doubtless draw an unusually large attendance of newspaper men. e s Those people who are yelling for war with Mexico because a British subject was killeg® over there the other day and perhaps an American citizen, got a gentle but effective re- buke from President Wilson yester- day when he said that those who urged armed intervention should re- member that such action might cost the lives of their brothers ang sons. By the enlightened standards of the twentieth century we haven’t got the slightest decent excuse right now for war with Mexico, and we ought all to be thankful that we have a calm, clear-headed, resolute man at the head of this nation tov save us from any such horror. AND THE GOVERN- MENT STILL LIVES Today finishes one year of a Dem- ocratic president and Democratic control in both the executive anid legislative departments of the gov- ernment, and none of the calamities predicted by the Republicans have arrived, while two of the biggest re- forms promised by the Democrats are here “with both feet.” It has been a year of splendidly construc- tive legislation by the new party in power, and even among Republic- ans criticism, when not silent, is merely of the weak, perfunctory kind, dictated by a .sense of thick and thin party loyalty and conspicu- ously without the virility of deep and aggressive conviction. The government is running smoothly in all its departments. There is no breakdown in the ma- chinery, no halt, hesitation or hitch anywhere, and the confident assertion we have been hearing for €0 many long years that the Demo- crats couldn’t run the huge machine effectively because they didn't have the genius for government and the executive ability to do it has been utterly disproveq by the fact itself. As for the man at the head of the party and the government, the quiet, smiling Woodrow Wilson, he has sustained so vell his star part from the moment of his entrance on the stage that he has won the ad miration of the world and the re- spect of even his political foes. He has shown a positive genius for gov ernment and breaks olg precedents and makes new ones so wisely and well that his critics are confounded and his friends delighted. One year of Woodrow Wilson has strengthened the Democratic party in every State in the Union, and three more years of the same kind will assure an indefinite ascendency of that party. Q- AT A chairman of the committee on labor. Since his removal to this eity with |‘||~. family Marshal Brown has made many new friends ang 1s making a a splendiy record as an official of the United States district court. Unable to Reply As is always the case on an occa- sion of such a preasant surprise, Marshal Brown was unable to reply at length to the kind, thoughtful and generous manner in which he had been remembered but he ex- presseq his appreciation most genu- inely and said that he hoped in the wearing of the badge in connection with his duties that the donors would never have cause to regret the expression of esteem manifesteid by their gift. The handsome badge is in the shape of an open work shield, in the center of which is a large star which latter bears across it the initials J. (. B. in old English lettering, in- terlaced. The shield is in a dull fin- ish, the outlining edges being of highly burnished gold. The top panel has the words United States and the panel at the bottom has the word Marshal. This lettering in black enamel, offset by the bright and polisheq surface of the panels. Bears Inscription On the reverse side of the badge is the inscription: *“‘Presented to J. ('lifford Brown by his former co- workers on A. (. L. R. R., Jack- sonville and Lakeland gistrict. Di- 769, B. of L.
