commission house following IN all the

the close sentiment was intensely bull

all of our people. During the twelve
years of his official residence here as
State Superintendent Of Public IN
struction he and his wife both had
endeared themselves to most Of our

in this instance, however, is the gain
OF all the people in the State in large

built up the school system wonderfully

FLoRIpA LIeRARY AssooIATloN:


The Florida Library Association met
with the State Teachers Association,
and held very profitable session.
Several new members we're secured

the subject Of libraries. Miss Carolyn
Palmer, librarian Of Stetson Univer-
sity, was elected president; Mr.. earn

urer
The association is composed OF men
and women representing the foremost
educational institutions Of the State
and the most advanced and progress
slve culture.
Almost every State in the Union has
its library association, Librarians being
! its principal constituents; bot Florida
/ is unique in that its association is al
most altogether composed Of school
teachers-only one regularly employed
librarian being in it. Brother and sis

Prof. McBeath has generously offered
space in The Exponent for library
department, which will be filed from
time to time with matter relating t
this great movement, and contribu
tions are solicited from those interest
ed in the subject. Librarians are es
pecially urged to send in any thought

proven valuable to them and may hell

80 PARpoMINe eoARD.


Referring to the exercise OF the par
doning power by the governor and his
cabinet. The Tampa Tribune says:
"For some time past The Metropolis,
The Tampa Tribune, The Punta Gorda
Herald and various other papers
throughout Florida, fearful Of the re-
suit OF the reckless actions Of the State
Pardoning Board in extending unmer'
tied clemency to convicted criminals,
have advocated the abolition of the
pardoning power.
This, it is true, is grave PROPOSE
ton to advance, and one that this
paper has supported only because IT
feared that the frequency with which
the power is abused in the State would
!sssult in a total loss Of respect for law
Ia order, and reduce the State to
dndition Of practical anarchy, when
5erson and property would be without
safeguard, and the government
would he farce.
y st Is doubtful II the people Of the
State could be brought TO adopt such
radical steps before the anticipated
evil results would actually come to
pass, so The Tribune suggests that, in
stead Of the abolition Of the pardoning
power, it should be made the duty Of
the prosecuting attorneys to appear
before the State Pardoning Board
whenever petition for Communication
OF sentence or pardon is made, aud
present to the board, in open session,
and in the presence OF the prisoner
and his counsel. the evidence cf the
State which resulted in the con-
yiction OF the accused, and argue
the same to the board, as to the
trial jury. The counsel FOR the
petitioner should be- required to fur
nish written statement Of the
grounds upon which the pardon or
communication will be asked, to the
States attorney a reasonable length
Of time before arguing the petition be-
1 fore the board, and also a copy TO the
party against whom the crime was
committed or, IN case Of murder, to
the next kin OF the deceased And IN
addition, wilful misstatement to the
Pardoning Board should be deemed
perjury and treated as such.
"As pointed out Tuesday morning in
The Tribune, a great evil in cases be-
fore the Pardonng Board is that usual
ly only one side is presented, and that
not always truthfully. IL should b'
compulsory that the States side
should be heard, and the hearing o
appeals should be public, though, O
course, the board should conduct III
deliberations in private
10 establish many iron.clad rules
OF the Parjoning Board would be tC
defeat the ends OF executive clemency
and to abolish the power entirely II
fraught with the danger Of cruel in
justice, and such a suggestion would
receive only condemnation, but for th'
fact that Il may be impelled by sterr
necessity, to prevent the intolerabl'
abuse Of a sacred power and all thu
evils OF anarchy. Before proceeding
to this step, which, perhaps, we mus
do some day, every precaution should
be taken to prevent the evils com
planned OF now"

The President east boom into the
Senate and the House on the day they
convened after the holiday recess by
permitting It to become known that he
was seriously contemplating calling
Congress in special session next June,
Senators and Representatives rushed
10 the White House TO inquire il such
a plan we're seriously contemplated by
the President, only 10 learn that it
was, and then they gathered in the
cloak rooms and committee rooms TO
discuss the situation. Nothing would
be more unwelcone to the average
member OF Congress than to be called
60 Washington just at the beginning Of
the heated term and at a time when
most OF them are planning vacations
and pleasure jaunts, but they received
no comfort from the President, who
expressed himself disgusted with the
disposition OF gress TO procFasti-
nate with regard to needed legislation
and to make an excuse Of the fact that
this is short session to do nothing.
The President was even unkind enough
to suggest that hot weather might
prove an incentive to expeditions work
and that time and expense might be
saved the country by keeping the re-
fractory Congressman sin after
