The first Florida beneficiary Of the
Rhodes scholarship fund win soon begin
his voyage over the briny ocean TO Eng
land for three years course at Oxford
University. It will be extremely graft
flying to all patrons and friends Of the
Florida State College to know that thia
institution has the honor Of furnishirk
the first representative TO this renoW.
institution under Cecil Rhodes beque4.
Several Of the more important edu-
cational institutions of Florida and the
South were represented among the bevy
Of five young men who contested for
this prize, the examination being SUPER
vised by DR.. j. N. Anderson. The ex-
animation papers were sealed, forward
ed to Washington and thence to Oxford,
where they were graded. The Florida
committee of selection composed of
Prof. A. A. Murphree, president Flor

Florida, and DR.. w. F. Blackman, pres
ident Of Rollins Collegel were then no.
titled that Messrs. Buchholz and P. H.
Whaley of Pensacola Ia graduate of
Kenyon College, Ohio) had stood sue
cessful examinations. The committee
made their selection upon the following
bases: Scholarship, 80 per cent; fond
ness for athletics and athletic record, 20
per cent; honesty, morality, and gen.
eral good character, 80 per cent; popu-
larity and leadership among FELLOWSHIP
dents, 20 per cent.
1t was determined by the committee
that young men born, reared and edu-
Gated in Florida should have precedence
over other candidates for the scholar
ship, where all other things are equal.
AS the general average of the two can
didates were about equal, it was not
difficult for the committee to make it's
selection.
Mr.. Buchholz has received his entire
collegiate education in Tallahassee,
where he is well thought of. Heis fond
of athletics and was a member of the
football team which captured the silver
championship cup offered by the Times
Union
Examinations were held simuItsne-
ously in all the States, and, as they
were identical comparison is afforded
with the educational institutions Of other
States, which shows up very favOrably
for the Florida State College. Tonnes

THE ETmcs on ..AnYICE."

The True Democrat viii always glad
ly speak words Of encouragement TO thu
States legislators, and It certainly viii
not withhold prompt cOmmendation fol
every good work which they may per.
form; but it will neither bestow indis.
criminate or undeserved praise, nor as.
sumo TO instruct them as TO their Official
duties.
They are here as the direct and ac-
credited representatives of their con-
stituentS in regard TO all local matters,
and they also represent the interests OF
the people Of the State at large in ali
matters affecting the general public
welfare. In this two-fold capacity as
lawmakers, they are, or are presumed
TO be, fully advised of their obligations;
and as II would be rank presumption on
the part Of any one outside of the ter
ritory which they respectively repre-
sent 10 undertake TO instruct them as
TO any local issue, 80 it would be equally
presumptuOus TO "advise" them as TO
their duty TO the people at large.
1t should be the duty and pleasure of
every good and thoughtful citizen, as
we'll as Of the State press, to aid them
In every possible way in the collection
of facts or the discussion of doubtful
points, TO the end that they may be en-
abled to act with the utmost caution,
intelligence, wisdom and sound judg-
ment upon every issue presented for
their consideration; but it would be rid
iculously absurd to undertake to lad
wise" them that 1t is their duty" TO
do or not TO do sny particular thing.
They are here TO decide, each for him
self and for the interests he represents,
according to his information and best
judgment, what his duty is; and arbi-
trary or dictatorial admonition as to
such duty, from any source, is not only
In the very worst of bad taste, but is
and offensive, and those TO
whom it is addressed are quite justified
in treating such expressions with the
silent contempt which they deserve. 4

A THANKLESS SERVICE.

Editor Hetherington, of the Lake
land News, is one of the brightest.
minded and most original writer's of the
Florida press. In recent issue he dis
cusses the well-known and apparently
incurable absurdity in which some
Florida editors have been in the habit
Of indulging, in devoting time and space
TO the business Of exploiting the politi-
cal aspirations of Tom, Dick and Harry,
utterly regardless of their fitness for
the positions which they seek The
writer of this pleads guilty to some of
it He has been helping to boost others
into Office for the past twenty-five
years, Gn1 his personal experience is
strikingly simi ar to that desert el in
the following article from the trenchant
PEI Of our brother of The News:
Why should a newspaper tear its
shirt into threads and howl itself hoarse
20 further the private ambitions of
some pot-bellied politician, who, after
being boosted into position he has not
the brains to All, looks down with con-
tempt from the heights of his asinine
conceit upon those to whom he owes mis-
advancement?
II Is amusing almost pitiable OBJ
serve the kOtows and frantic beating of
tom-toms INDUCED in by mary of the
State papers when referring To the po-
ltcGl aspirations of some fellow, who
accepts such homage as his divine right,
and who would not reward his support
ors with pleasant look, until occasion
required their further services.
The fact Ii that in the majority Of
cases, these bouquets, thrown by good
natured newspaper men. are wholly un-
deserved. As rule the men who are
seeking Office are of mediocre mental
ty, whose attainments and abilities are
Of the most ordinary character Gen
orally speaking, the man equipped with
unusual capacity seeks a more prof
table market for his faculties than that
offered by politics. 1t is pity that It
should be 30, but those whose talents
best III them to serve the public cannot
afford to sacrifice their business inter
asts to accept an Office, much less to in
lulge in a scramble after 1t.
Plain duty, perfunctorily performed
and there are very few Florida Office
holders for whom more can be claimed
requires no commentator. But in
these days, when politician and CRATER
have become almost synonymous terms,
we shall content ourselves with watch
ing the little game as II progresses, and
advising our readers thereof. rather
than spend our efforts In attempting to
make statesmen out Of the sorry mate
rial that usually offers.

1t is said the Senate committee on
public printing Is investigating the adj
visibility as we'll as the practicability
of the ownership by the State of its own
printing plant. Florida now spends
Sl5, 600 annually for printing. and the
work is not all in the hands OF the State
printer by any manner of means. The
chairman of the Senate committee, Hon.
H. II. McCreary, is editor Of the
Daily Sun, Of Gainesville, and is him
self practical printer. The laws of
various States governing public print
ing will be carefully studied. -Taliahas-
see Correspondence in Times Union.
Should the Legislature conclude that
public ownership" is the best solution
Of the State printing problem, one thing
appears to be certain. and that is that
the owners of old, moth-eaten, worm
out, broken-down, out-of-date material
will not be permitted to UNLOAD" upon
the State.

reproduction, in its issue Of the 9Th
inst, of an editorial entitled Some
Comparisons, and says in it's editorial
columns the following wise words, under
the caption IAN immigration Idea:"
The proposition to take some steps TO
advertise Florida and induce immigra-
ton is, we understand, already being
favorably discussed at Tallahassee; and
we trust that the matter may be soon
taken up by the Legislature now in SEES
sion, and that the Duval county dele
cation will by no means be the last TO
advance the interest Of the State in this
direction.
1t has been suggested that, instead of
organizing irregular immigration bureau
at present, a moderate appropriation be
made for the department of agriculture
to use in bringing the advantages and
attractions of the State to the attention
Of those seeking homes in the South.
Should this plan prove successful
should the investment prove profitable
"a larger appropriation would natur-
ally be in order at the next session, or
steps for the establishment of a bureau
Of immigration might at any time be
taken.
But these points are, after all, simply
matters of detail. The only point with
which the people of Florida need con-
Germ themselves at present is that in
vOlved in the main question.
If we want immigration, we must
work for it. Those who do the wofk
must be paid for it, and whatever else
may be in doubt, we may rest assured
that while Florida continues her pres
edit policy of mastery inactivity" she
will continue to find herself left far in
the rear by such States as California,
which every year expends large sum
in advertising the State and its re-
sources where it will do the most good.

In our issue of March 81 appeared an
editorial entitled Unjust Apportion-
ment," afterwards copied in the Times
Union, which attracted the attention of
Hon. w. X. Zewadsky, of Ocala, who was
a member OF the Legislature of 1897,
and who has furnished to US the only
explanation of the failure Of that body
to make the constitutional apportion-
ment referred to which we have ever
heard Of. Mr. Zewadsky states that he
and introduced bill provid-
ing for the apportiOnment, based upon
the State census of 1895, but that a
combination effected by the represent
atives of the counties which would have
lost a member in the reappOrtionment
with some of those whose representa-
ton would not have been affected there
by effectually accomplished the defeat
Of the bill Thus it appears that the
of six or seven coun-
ties, simply to prevent a reduction of
he number of Representatives therein,
must have violated their oaths, and in
luced other members whose counties
would not have been affected, to violate
heir oaths to support the Constitution
If the State, which expressly COM
handed them to make the reapportion-
nent.

The Jacksonville Metropolis complains
of the quality Of the work that is being

urges that more money be appropriated

official has the nerve to turn down the
