Wants Jim Lane Elected.

Editor PALATKA NEWS:
AS May TIE 10th draws near the
more interest is assumed in the con-
test of the various candidates for Off
cial positions of honor.
The race of greatest interest seems
to be between Sheriff Howell and
James T.. Lane. Now we ask little
space to say word for Mr.. Lane.
Having known him for years and
under various circumstances can say
that we have always found him to be
a man of high integrity and of manly
bearing in every respect. A man
that in our opinion would make an
ideal sheriff for Putnam county. 1t
is to the interest of every voter to Sc D..
lect men that will discharge their
official duties without fear or favor.
Those who know Mr.. Lane we'll and
those who do not can certainly
make no mistake in giving him their
loyal support.

THE ATTITUDE or EUROPE.


Any attenpt &, p the issue
of the various ~i.n- at u r end mess
to Russia the word a 0 d would be
futile, but the news from foreign
courts and capitals is scarcely such as
to reassure tito-e who f"rvently de-
sire the peace of Europe to remain
unbroken. 1t is, to say the least, dis
quoting.
Great Britain is making no efforts
to conceal her unfriendliness. In
fact, she may be said to be welcom-
ing the opportunity for its display.
The sentiment of the British people
is the outgrowth of their interests,
and it goes without saying that Rus
sian aggression in Asia is heartily
hateful to Great Britain. Russian
victory in the present war would
mean irreparable damage to British
trade and British influence in China.
More remarkable, and perhaps more
important in a sense, than the natur-
al hostility of Great Britain, are the
signs which indicate that France is
entirely out of sympathy with Rus
STA. The Franco-Russian alliance has
n ever been popular with the French
people, and the Russians have never
regarded it very seriously. An al
lance between a republic and an alb
solute despotism, especially when the
peoples are as widely separated in
race, instincts and traditions as are
the French and the Russians, could
scarcely be made permanent through
any political expediency. The idea
of its severance for all time has gain
ed much in strength in France even
since the beginning of the present
war. And there can be no doubt
that the GOODNESS of France has had
} much to do with the growlings and
| grumblings against Russia which
emanate from other European CAPT
! tails.
A careless move on the diplomatic
(, checker-board, or an inconsiderate
| act by either one of the belligerents
at this time, might be the spark
: which would start that worldwide

ROCKY MOUNT FIRE.
1T BROKE OUT BETWEEN MID
NIGHT AND DAY.
The Post Office, Bank, Masonic
Temple, Opera House and a
Number of Stores Are
Laid In Ashes.

Rocky Mount, N. c., March g.
Between midnight and daylight this
morning a large part of the business
section of Rocky Mount was laid in
ashes, involving a loss variously es-
timated at from $50, 900 to 500, 900.
The fire company fought the flames
bravely, but was unable to check
their progress until the town had suf-
fered the worst loss it has ever ex-
perienced.
1t was 1880 last night that fire
broke out at the opera house, from
which it spread rapidly, being famed
by a brisk wind. Among the build
ings destroyed are the Masonic tenn
pie, the Bank of Rocky Mount, the
opera house, the post office, the tele-
phone exchange and a half dozen of
the best stores in the town. 1t is be-
lieved that the fire was of incendiary
origin.
There will be but little Interrupt
ton of business on account of the fire.
Those having suffered losses are al
ready getting ready to replace their
buildings, and in the meantime they
have made temporary arrangements
to carry on business as heretofore.
The bank was moved into the Saw
ings Bank building. Its doors were
opened for the transaction of business
this morning. An examination of
the banks vaults this morning show
ed that their contents were unharm-
ed. The post Office officials saved all
the mails and stock of postage stamps.
Some of the merchants saved a con-
siderable part of their stocks. Most
of the losses are partly covered by
insurance.

THE O CASE.

The Reed Smoot investigation, |
now in progress before the senate
committee in Washington, is bring
ing out some very interesting facts
regarding the Mormon church.
It is scarcely necessary to go into
details concerning the matter, but
President Smiths frank confession
that he had lived in open disregard
of the state laws since 1890 may be
taken as an evidence of what any
Mormon elder would be expected to
do in a crisis between his duty to
his church and his duty to his gov
eminent, state or federal. The ex-
ample of Mr.. Smith, the head of the
church, can scarcely be regarded as
one calculated to inspire Apostle
Smoot with that regard for the high
est civic virtues which we expect to
find at least ~professed, if not uni
formly practiced, by members of that
tsmost dignifed body of the world"
the United States senate.
It seems that since 1890 the Nor
mons have taken no more wives, but
have continued to keep the wives
which they had prior to that date,
and to live with them in utter dis
regardof the law, encouraged thereto
by the example of their chief men.
And, curiously enough, these chief
men stubbornly maintain that they
are doing exactly right in the matter.
The fact that Mr.. Smoot is not
charged with having more than one
wife has not SO much bearing on the
case as the knowledget that if he were
permitted TO take his seat he would
be the direct representative of these
churchmen who boast of their dis
regard of the law. This is to consider
the matter from it's directly legal and
civic side, without, touching on the
moral Influence of a community
which illegally practices a custom
that strikes at the very foundation
of the. home, and of civilization, a.
we understand these words.
The system of polygamy make
for the degradation OF wornankind
and mankind; as in such relation
the woman is mans slave, and mar
can feel but little respect for her. I
AposleSmoot is unseated, however
it will scarcely be because of. an.
proved MORAL or ethical shortccm
ings of his own, but because it vii
have been shown that through hi
connection with a church whose of
fcers encourage ~lawbreaking he
not himself fit to be a laWmaker.
