Oratorr az Iackson,, Blnff.

Quite an extended and decidedly self
laudatory account Of the speech of Hon.
w A. Rawls at the Jackson's Bluff
bridge celebration last week appeared
in the Daily Capital of last Sunday.
Although we were not present on that
occasion greatly to our regret-we are
quite prepared to believe that Mr.. Rawls
said all Of the nice and wise things that
he is thus reported to have said; but we
are reliably advised, upon the authority
OF some who were present, that the ac-
count referred to, full as il appeared to
be. lacked much of containing all that
Mr. Rawls actually said.
From the best information we have
been able 20 obtain, from parties who
stand ready 10 verify the facts when
ever called upon to do so. Mr.. Rawls, in
the course of his speech, took occa-
sion went out of his way, in fact-to
denounce such men, and such fellow
members of the last Legislature. and
such fellow citizens, as Hon. w. A
Blount, State Senator from Escambia
county, Hon. Fred T. Myers, formerly
our State Senator, and Others Of equally
honorable and disting uished character
Why did not the Capitals account Of
his spe Gu contain these features? Was
Mr., RGwlS willing to say things before
an audience Of country people that he
would not care TO see in printl III So
why3 Did he overestimate the credulity
or the simplicity of his hearers? Did
he not know. or could he not realize,
that those same simple las he evidently
thought theml country people are Ac-
customed TO see as far and think as
wisely ~ himself?

! The accusation contained in Governor

Sun, that Florida editors sell editorial

tracted the attention of newspapers
throughout the State.
The Titusville Star saws
! Here Is direct charge made against

of this State, the Governor af Florida
Governor Broward must be well inform
ed that the charge is founded upon
fact, otherwise il would be mere child's

there are Florida editors who sell edi-
torial for so much an inch" the Govern
or should, for the welfare of the press
and for the best interests of the State,
make known their names and furnish
the evidence upon which to condemn
them.
The Lake City Index fatty denies the
charge, and challenges the Governor to
give names.

such low means as selling his editorial
space and sentiment, he, who appears
to have been made to suffer thereby,
he, who would have the atmosphere Of
the State press purified and brought up
to the high plane which he claims an
editor should occupy, and which in re-
atty he should occupy, and he, who is
at the head Of an honest government
and evidently wishes to see honesty
prevail in the papers Of the State,
should not hesitate to expose the dis
honest ones who sell their influence and
disgrace the profession which should
stand aloOf from dishonesty and unfair

From the Jacksonville Sun.
1--WE are afflicted with a sprinkling
of editors who sell editorial for so much
an inch-sentiment thrown in" Gov
ernor Broward in the Sun, November
l8, 1905.
We thought that this statement from
the Governor of the State would cause
some of the brethren of the press to
sit up and take notice.
The Governor boldly states what 9TH
ers have for some time been whisper
ing in selected corners to discreet ac-
quaintances,
The Monticello News, commenting on
this charge Of prostitution of the press,
made by the Governor, suggests the
compiling of list of the guilty ones.
The Tallahassee True Dem ocrat,
shocked by this charge Of baseness, de-
mands publicity and punishment for
those whom the cap fits.
Far be it from US to judge our broth
ers, but we agree with the editor of the
Monticello News that a list should be
prepared, and we agree with the editor
of the True Democrat that those guilty
of this corruption should be exposed
and punished,
So young are we in this journalistic
life, that we are not disposed to take
up this cudgel against those who are so
much stronger than we are, when the
evils are of past committing and no
particular good can be accomplished by
laying them open to the public gaze.
OF evils that have been we will not
speak, unless by keeping silence we
should become a party to their continu-
ance and their menace to the future.

shown how advertising contracts have
influenced the editorial expression of
the press of the country, as to the mer-
it's Of bills introduced in State Legisla-
lures to regulate the sale of, and to
prevent the use of harmful ingredients
in, these nostrums.
Our beloved primary law, under the
operation of which the press has be-
come prime factor in political cam
paigns in this State, has opened wide
the door of temptation TO the editors,
to throw their editorial columns on the
bargain counter.
Some have not put this Satan behind
them.
But, as we have written, this is a
past evil and will not be made to feed
the mill now grinding, unless the good
of the future is threatened by it.
We have a little list which we will
keep in safe place, and if we see
those whose names are on it SHINING a
gain, we will give it to the editor Of
the Monticello News, and to all others
who read this journal.
Come, brothers, let us not do a mer-
chandising business.
Let us print the news, and keep our
editorial page like the wife of Caesar.

one of the sailors who returned to the
Raleigh. Just before the battle of Manil-
Ia, when the order was given to strip for
action, the smallest powder boy on the
flagship dropped his coat overheard. He
asked permission to jump after it, but
was refused. He went to the side of the
ship, dropped overheard, recovered his
coat and was promptly arrested for DISC
bedience.
Admiral Dewey spoke kindly to the
youngster, who broke down and said that
the coat contained his mothers picture,
which he had just kissed, and he could
not bear to see it lost Dewey's eyes
filed with tears. He fairly embraced the
boy. and ordered him to be released, say
ing: "Boys who love their mothers
enough to risk their lives for her picture
