Blount, of Pensacola, frequently referred to as Florida's ablest lawyer, couldn’t Le elected to the United States Senate, but he had nor trouble the other day in being elected as chief counse] of the F'lng_' ler railroad system in this State, bet-: ter known as the Florida East Coast Railroad Company. It was just because he was such a great corporation lawyer that he missed the Senate. Mr. Blount is in the front rank of the Southern bar and his fame is so secure and his fees so fat that he could well afford to for- get his senatorial disappointment and rest on his laurels as a lawyer. SR s Joe Reese, of the Orlando Re. porter_Star, says that he is glad to be in the clean company of those Florida editors mentioned by the Miami Metropolis as supportinrg Sen. ator Fletcher in the ridiculous war made on him by a bunch of news. papers in this State betause he wants to call a halt on the muck. rakers of the press who seek to in- timidate public men by the terrors of cold type regardles of truth and justice. And why was it that the Metropolis, in enumerating the newspaper suporters of Senator Fletcher in his protest against illeg- imate journalism, falled to mention one of the ablest and most con- spiclous of them all, its own local contemporary, the Miami Herald? Strange that itcouldn’t see so large and plain an object right at home, ESUREL | U, The people wlo want the next legislature to create a State high. way commission to take charge of | public road building in Florida in connection with the various coun. ties are to be congratulated on se- curing the approval of the move. ment by Governor Trammell. But the Governor does not go the length desired by the advocates of the plan, for he holds that the county is the} true unit in road building and the function of the commission he re. commends will be for the most part advisory with a view to linking up | the various county roads into a unl.i form State highway system., The Governor recommends three commis. sloners without salary, but with their expenses paid by the State. It is doubtful if experts in scientific roadbuilding would care to work on such terms. The word “salary” has & most seductive sound Jor gentle. men in the public service. IS GG S The St. Petersburg Times is much mistaken if it thinks the Telegram wants to let everybody down “nicely and happily”tha t may be.engaged in muckraking journal - {sm in this State. We merely stated that we knew of no paper in Flor. fda indulging in the indecent, bul- dozing tactics toward public men re. ferred to by Senator Fletcher. Nor do we; nor have we any reason to suppose that the Senator had any Florida paperi n mind when he de.} livered much critized utter. ance on the subject. If the Times, which perhaps makes nc pretence to the “smooth, suave, diplomatic and concilitory” policy in journalism it affects to think lightly of in others, knows of such papers in Florida it content itself with | | his ghould not merely hinting at their existence. ERGEISE ST Attorney General West turned down the judgeship in the First Cir. cuit offered him by Governor Tram. mell because there are some prob- lems.of much. importance.now pend- ing in his present office which he thinks it his duty to solve in the public interest because of his greater familiarity with them than a new man would have. Tom West is coming man in Florida and has al. ready arrived, as his present job in dicates, and he is lookin~ for bigrer game than a circuit judeeship. The bench of our inferior courts is sarely a stepping stone to higher political preferment except along the lines of judiciary,a nd, curiously enough in our State history, men with the handle of judge to their names have not often been success. ful in “shaking” the title for a bet- ter one—governor. or senator, for in_ |great opportunity to those contes.
