The Reformatory.

The need of a reformatory, or
juvenile prison, in FLORIDA, has long
been recognized. In the convict
camps of Florida may be found many
youthful criminals boys ranging in
age from twelve to twenty years.
Their prison association will not have
the effect of working reformation
and this is or should be the object of
their Imprisonment. After spending

The New Laws.


We devote considerable portion of
our space this week to the publication
of the new laws enacted by the last
legislature rather we should say
to the titles of the new laws. In do
ing this we perform as much of our
duty as is possible under the circum-
stances. We feel that the people of
Florida should be informed of the
laws passed for their guidance and
which they are expected to obey. The
semination of this very necessary
state makes no provision for the dis
knowledge, and the law does not re-
quire the advertising of the new laws.
Of course, the laws will eventually be
published in book form and sold to
those who feel disposed to purchase.
They will also be distributed among
the officers of the state, whose duty
it is to enforce the law. The state
makes ample provision along this line
it educates those who must enforce
the laws, but leaves in total ignorance
those who must obey them.
Unfortunately the list of titles pub
lished carries but little information,
but as before said it is the best we
can do. 1t is impossible to obtain, at
least without great expense, the full
text of the new laws, and even if they
were obtainable no newspaper con-
Quoted OH business basis land no
successful paper can be conducted any
other way), could afford to publish
the laws in full without some re-
Enumeration.
We think it is duty the state owes
to it's citizens to educate them. We
think the citizen is entitled to know
the laws he is expected and required
to obey. The law holds that ig-
norance of the existence of a law is no
excuse for it's violation and not even
circumstance to plea in extenuation
of the offense. So long as the state
clings to this common law axiom it
should not shirk the duty of educa-
ton.
But among all the laws passed the
reader will search in vain for an act
providing for the printing of the laws
in one newspaper in each county, or
in one newspaper in each judicial cir
cult.

Signs of the Times.

AS an indication of the development
of Florida her people can cite the in
terest that is being shown in nearly
every section of the state in better
roads and better schools.
Higher civilization is the truest III
dex to material development of the
most substantial and permanent char
acter, and the development of The
higher civilization-th finer instincts
of human nature-manifests Itself il
an awakened interest in religion, ed
uca ton and the comforts and luxu
ries of life.
The untaught savage, who repre-
sents man as it were in the crude anc
undeveloped form, is content to treaG
forever in the footsteps of his ances
tors. In fact he resists with all the
force of his untamed nature any mo
vations. He has no ambition for the
things he knows nothing of and the
advantages of which he cannot appre
ciate
From the savage to the man Of the
modern age there is long road t.
travel, still the road has been Travelled
and our modern civilization has beer
a gradual evolution from the environ
ments of savagery.
The education and religious infu
ences surrounding us are stimulants
to still higher state of development
and when we note the increase anC
betterment of the institutions from
which these influences eminate, we
may congratulate ourselves that there
is leaven at work that augurs wei
for the development of the country
along all lines.
Only few years ago the average
Floridian was content to travel an,
road so long as it's termini was hi
home and his trading point. Ruts
roots and water we're all looked upol
as necessary evils, and the matter o
eliminating them was entirely foreigl
to his thoughts, if not to his wishes
It is different now We hear Of goo'
road movements everywhere and whe7
we travel we have evidence that tn
movements have taken tangible form
The development along educationa
lines has been even more marked. Th
little log school house in the pin
woods has given place to the moder7
and commodious public school build
ing, and at different points in tn
state can be found educational inst
tutions of high character, conducte
by public spirited, philanthropic pee
pie who looked at the pecuniary prof

as entirely subordinate to the othe
objects in contemplation educs
ton of the masses.
In different sections of the stat
elections are being held, as allowed b
law, making of communities separat
and independent districts, where tn
property owners are permitted to ia
themselves to an extent not above

When the senate reached the citrus
section of the tariff bill it passed an amend
ment increasing the duty citrus fruits to 1
cent per pound This is great increase over
the present rate-an increase of perhaps three
hundred per cent, and for which the Florida
growers extend heraty thanks. On request of
Senator Quay the pineapple sections of the bill
were passed over without action.

Boys, Brigade hand.

At a meeting held in the parlors OF the
Calumet Congregational church, last
week, the nucleus OF what may prove a
valuable addition to the organization OF
the Boys Brigade in the way OF boys
band was formed. The meeting was
well attended by boys who are interest
ed in the formation of band, and the
plans for the organization were fully dis
cussed. An even dozen boys, some of

astic over the idea.

ThatSad Case.

Mr.. Fred Leingruber called at the NEWS
office this morning and stated that the
case as represented to us had been great
" exagge ated. 1t was quite true that
his mother, who died this morning, had
not left her bed since she heard OF her
boys fall, but that she was not properly
attended TO was far from true, as he had
supplied all her wants and had engaged
a person from Lake Linden to wait upon
her. The father had not deserted his
wife, but being a silk ribbon weaver, had
gone to New York to obtain employ
ment. The item was inserted for good
purpose and with no intention OF stating
anything but the facts.

How He spelled 1t.

The colonel was II bluff old fellow, and
all the officers liked him except for one
thing, and that was his jealousy of the
commanding officer of a neighboring post.
He would grow irritable whenever this
officers name was mentioned, although
he invariably brought the name up him
self. One evening some of the mess deter
mined to have some fun with the colonel
and possibly put IA stop to his pettishncss.
Colonel, - said one of the officers, tits
queer, but you'd think Major D. (the
neighhoring commander had studied SPELL
ing l got a letter from him today, and
how do you think he spells herc?' -
He doesn't know much, " growlod the
colonel. 81 suppose he spells it hear"
"No.
"Well, h-e-c-r"
'No, that's not it. "
"H-i-e-r," ventured the colonel once
more.
Guess again. rs
"Well, I'd have to Ec is stupid as he is
TO guess any other way of spelling it, Wait
Il moment. Does he spell it h-ue-rg"
mo, colonel -
We'll, then, how does the man spell it
anyhow"
why, here, as il should be.
The colonel rose with wrath in his eyes
and snapped out, Gentlemen, I'm too old
for such joking, and then left the room
and slammed the door after him. -Harpers

Marshall Ward taught some youngsters
a good lesson last week which they will
not forget for some time. At the matt
nees given az the Opera House in the af-
ternoon these youngsters made prac-
tice OF getting on the stairs in the hall
and making so much noise that they we're
obnoxious. The management OF the en-
tertainmeDt could do nothing to stop
them, as they made good their escape
when they saw him coming. Finally the
marshal caught half a dozen one alter
noon and put them in the village Jail
until late in the evening. They went
without supper and were sorry and
peuitent lot OF boys when the marshal
let them out in the evening. IL is need
less to say that they haven't been seen
at the Opera House since.

A Few Suggestions to
the President and
Council.
Reader" Writes 20 the Point
On the Appointment OF
Nightwatchmen Need Explicit
Instructions.

Those who have the appointing OF the
persons whose business il will be TO see the
saloons are closed up at the legal hour
should not shirk their duty by reiraining
from giving the nightwatchmen explicit
instructions on this point. The NEWS to-
day asked one OF the applicants Tor the
Office il. in the event OF his appointment,
he would see the saloons were closed. His
answer was Eyes, il am ordered TO"
The ordering power is, in this case, the
president and his advisers, so, as pointed
out IN the News OF Saturday, il the sa-
looms are not closed at the proper hour
theiault will clearly rest on the president
and council.
Our article of Saturday has brought
out the following letter:
TO The EditOr.-Your article in Satur-
DAYS issue, "What Shall the Harvest
Be" discloses what may be news" TO
some of your readers, but TO most OF Us,
existing facts.
Your suggestions to those about to
appoint officers. whose sworn duty it is
TO preserve the dignity OF all our laws,
are timely and expressed in terms none
too firm and none too American.
The safety OF our community lies in the
preservation OF law aud order, but when
those who are appointed by the people
TO administer law, openly yield to the
wishes OF law breakers. we are no longer
safe,
As citizens we are responsible for the
enforcement OF all laws Ind until we make
an effort in this direction we cannot lay
rightfu claim tO good citizenship, pose as
we may.
All VIII read Your paper know your
attitude toward law-breakers ii ev re
kind aud the article in your last paper j.
full of evidence that we shout make no
compromise with or express ourselves in
any uncertain way about those who per-
sist in breaking the laws intended TO reg
ulate the sale of liquor.
Where the press is honest in it's efforts
to set u . a standard of good citizenship
il is power for good and is appreciated
by all liberty loving and aw-abiding men
and women.
Ia commenting the stand taken by our
local press one OF our ministers yesterday
voiced the sentiment OF all his hearers.
Yours for the right,
READER.
This matter OF closing up the saloons
will not be allowed TO go by default and
the News, on behalf OF the law-abiding
citizens OF this township and in the name
OF decency, calls upon the council to give
the nightwatch explicit instructions upon
this point.
