country who quit their work to at
tend the meeting and they gave

TEDDY, THE TERRIBLE.

Gov. Roosevelt spent Sunday at
Chicago, talking over campaign
plans with Hanna and other Re-
publicans. He has taken the road
and is now making a tour through
Illinois to st. Louis. He will re-
main at st. Louis until Wednesday
and then visit Kentucky. In his
swing around the circle he will
touch Hopkinsville next Saturday
about 1890 clock. AS most of the
followers of the Rough Rider in this
county are colored, it will be of in
terest to the negroes to know what
Teddy thinks of them and of their
race in battle. In a magazine
article in 1899 Col. Roosevelt, in
telling how he won the battle OF
san Juan Hill, made this serious
charge against the colored soldiers
engaged in that battle;
"None of the white regulars or
Rough Riders showed the slightest
sign of weakening, but under the
strain the colored infantrymen BE-
gan to get a little uneasy and drift
10 the rear. ~ So jumped up
and, walking few yards to the rear,
drew my revolver, halted the re-
treating soldiers and called out to
them that would shoot the first
man who, on any pretense what
ever, went to the rear. This was
the end of the trouble for the smoked
Yankees.
The same vain-glorious boaster,
who says he shot fleeing Span
lard in the back, also expressed
this opinion of state and national
volunteers in an official commun-
cation from Santiago July %, 1898;
1--WE earnestly hope that you will
send us most OF the regulars, and
at any ate, the caeary division,
including the Rough Rlders-who
are as good as regulars and three
times as good as any State troops
to Porto RICO. = We could
land at Porto Rico in this cavalry
division close to 1900 men who
would be worth easily any 10000
national guards, armed with black
powder, Springfield or other archaic
weapons.
This slander also comes home 10
the gallant soldier boys from this
city, who flew to arms at the first
call for volunteers. There was no
politics in their patriotism, but Re
publicans aud Democrats alike took
up arms for their country. Some
went to Porto Rico, some to Cuba,
some to the Philippines and still
others we're kept in disease-breed-
ing camps in the South. Among |
those who gave up their lives were
sons OF some of the Republican |
leaders of Hopkinsville, who have |
grown gray in the service of the |
Republican party. What must they
-hink Of this brutal attack upon the
and honor If their dead
soldier boys, because they did not
lappeu to be broncho busters?

Are They Needed =?

Under the heading of More
Judges Wantcd' we notice the fol-
lowing paragraph in our esteem
eel contemporary, the Gainesville
Sun:
The courts of Florida should be
afforded every facility for the
speedy transaction of all business
coming before them. Under ex-
listing conditions it is claimed that
it is out of the question for the
courts to satisfactorily discharge
their duties. Undoubtedly there
is need for more Judges. The SUI
premc court is far behind with
cases pending before it. and the
dOckctS of many of the circuit
courts lack much of being cleared.
There Is no good reason why this
condition of affairs should be Der
mitted To continue. 1t can he
remedied, and it should be. 1t is
presumed that the judges of the
supreme and circuit courts are do
ing all in their power to conduct
the business before them with dis
patch. hut are simply unable to
prevent the accumulation of cases.
1t cannot be expected that three
men can accomplish the work.
which, if satisfactorily done. will
perhaps require The services of five
or six justices. The next legisla-
ture should pass a resolution
amending the constitution so as
to incrGonia ,nie supreme court

more circuitjudges than we had
over thirty years ago, and yet our
population has more than doubled,
our taxable valuation has increas-
ed almost fourfold, and litigation
has increased six or seven times.
If the next legislature acts and
passes a resolution, it will then
have to be submitted to the people.
If we commence working now it
will be several years before the
situation can be relieved. 1t is an
important matter, and one which
should have been attended to
years ago. Speedy trials will di-
minish crime, reduce court eX-
penses, more certainly reach the
ends of justice, and in every way
tend to promote good government"
We have no doubt our friend,
Mr.. McCreery, knows a great deal
more about the needs of the Cir
cult and supreme courts of our
state than we do, especially in the
supreme court and in his own cir
cult, but we take pleasure in stat
ing that the business of this, the
seventh circuit, is kept up clean
and prompt. We have under
stood personally from one of the
most prominent lawyers in our
state that the BUSINESS of the SUI
preme courts could very easily be
FASTENED up by a little different
way of managing the more import
ant cases that are brought before it,
and we believe that the advice
given by the late Judge Forster to
one of the present circuit Judges
upon entering his official duties,
if strictly adhered to, would do
away with the demand for more cir
cult judges. His advice was to keep
your docket clean and never let
business accumulate upon your
hands. This is a well known bust
ness maxim, but it applies to law
equally as well as mercantile lines.
A judge of fine perceptive faculties
as regards legal points is quite apt
to take cases too long under adj
visement in a strictly conscientious
of doing his whole duty;
if he would press in with this
characteristic an equal amount of
business push, a desire to keep up
with every case before him, we be-
lieve that the demand for more
courts would not be noted.
