A Blot on CIVILIZATION.

One of the most damnably out
rageous systems ever foisted upon an
intelligent citizenship is the present
convict lease system.
1t is disgrace to the state of Flori-
da and blot on civilization.
1t is but a few degrees removed
from the system of savagery of the
darkest and most benighted sections
of Africa.
Admitting for the sake of argument
that most of the Iessees treat the con-
victs with degree of humanity, and
that the convicts are all guilty of the
crimes of which they are charged, it is
no reason why they should be put
upon the block and sold to the highest
bidder like herd of cattle.
These men, although convicted of
crimes, are none the less human be.
ings and should be treated as such.
The time has arrived when this svs.
tenn should be changed, and the Rec
ord trusts that the next legislature
will see the barbarity OF the presenr
system and lose no time in Winning
from the statutes such an inhuman
and outrageous law.-Manatee Record

less expense. Those wishing TO be
members of the militia receive very
poor encouragement, and finally be.
come disguised and drop out. There
is, on the other hand, a very strong
desire that the troops be maintained
and kept up to the required standard.
Ii is well known that there is no power
like the military in an emergency to
Quell riot and mob violence and TO re-
store and maintain civil order. The mill
tary stands as a safeguard to life and
property, and it is very regretful to
see the interest in the maintenance
tagging so much.
Two of the Oldest and finest organi-
cations in the state have been ordered
disbanded, because of the failure to
show the required strength, numeri-
cally. These were Pensacola COM
panies. The militia band in jackson
vile has also been ordered disband-
ed.
The ranks of the local militia on gen
eral inspection here Wednesday were
not full, and most of those in ranks
were young men born since the Civil
War. and in all that aSsemblage Of
troops there was but one Civil War
veteran present of the local commands.
and that was Maj. Jacob Gumbinger,
of the Union army. This one veteran
and young soldiers were matters of
general comment, and it was conceded
that those who had won fame and
honor on the field had lost interest in
military matters. It is now the sons
Of the Civil War veterans that com
prise the military of the state, but itI
seems that they should have the en-
couragement and assistance of those
old warriors in every way possible to
make the young soldier more jealous
in his military career.
1t was remarked here Wednesday
that the whole militia of the state
was on the decline, and that unless
something was done soon to revive in
terest therein that there would not be
more than one well filed regiment
within year. The young men are
willing and anxious to do their part
but they must have assistance and eu-
couragement from their seniors. 1t is

mi1tiamen risk their positions in bust

Those NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Frank Walpole of the Manatee Rec
ord is opposed to the present convic;
lease system, and he is far from being
alone in his opposition. Whether les
sees are guilty or not of the brutality
and inhumanity with which they are
to often charged, it seems to be farce,
a waste of time and money, to investi
gate the matter, so far as learning the
true facts and conditions existing in a
convict camp are concerned. When
investigation time rolls around condi-
tons can be made to appear lovely
and charming, and no convict will
make the bed he lies on any harder
than it is by swearing against the
lessees' nterests.-Gainesvil Star.

AS to Humane Treatment.

The Recorder does not believe that
the conVicts are any more inhumanely
treated when worked under the lease
system than if worked directly by the
State. Under the present system, OF
course, there will be cases of improper
treatment at times. but cruel guard
working for the state is as apt to
treat prisoner improperly as one
working for lease. In either case the
boss is working for salary, and
therefore moved by the same incen-
tives.-MadisOn Recorder.

ADMIRER.
The Convict System.
The accomplished editor of the De.
Funiak Breeze wakes sarcastic over
the convict question; but his 'argu-
ment" would have been considerably
more forcible had he not found it nee
essary to resort to misrepresentation
to make out case.
When our Walton county contem-
porary declares that it is claimed that
the lessees are actually paying more
for the convicts than better free labor
would cost them, simply for the sake
of taking care of these offenders in a
way that will benefit the state the
most when the Breeze puts any
such statement as this in the mouths
OF those It assumes to criticise, it
simply takes a ground that has been
taken by no one else.
If the sub-lessees pay more for con-
vict labor than for free, it is not so
much because it is better" but be-
cause 1T is there when they want it. "
And as for the ''maudlin sympathy
for convicts, upon which the Breeze
lays such stress, it is to be found only
among those whose feelings for these
Offenders leads them to advocate the
abolition of the lease system.
So far as the lessees are concerned,
the proposition is purely a business
one. The faborer who is best cared
for will do the best work-an axiom,
by the way, the Walton county au-
thorities would do well to bear in
misunderstanding Times-Union.
Should Encourage 5roward.
