In speaking of the results of the peace
mission, Mr.. Dennison said: ''If you
have failed to pay debt which your
creditor is not Ia a position to collect,
that IS no reason you should feel spe-
claIly proud of yourself But the Rus
SLAMS are taking great credit to them
selves because they have got out of pay

Why" observed the legal adviser

An important conference of railway
officials was held in New York last
week, at which rates that are satisfac-

upon in honor of the coming Florida
State Fair. President T. j. L. Brown
makes the following statement regard
ing the rates given:
III beg to state that the following
rates were given for Tampa, during
the Fair:
Rates from all points in the west will
be 80 per cent, Of one fare for the
round trip, with a maximum rate of
$50 for the round trip from all Ohio riv-
err points.
"These rates have been concurred in
by the Southeastern Passenger Asso-
citation and by a majority of the Wes-
tern roads. The rates from New York
by boat will be one fare for the round
trip, and from all points south of Wash
ington, by rail one fare for the round
trip. Tickets will be sold in New York
Monday, November 10, and south Of
Washington, Tuesday, November H."
The rates from Florida, South Geor-
gia, South Alabama and other nearby
points will be decided upon later, and
are expected to be even lower than
those of the former fair, owing to the
great increase in attendance expected.
Every citizen of Florida who has
friend In another state who can posi-
bly, be induced to attend the fair,
should write him Of these rates and Of

Pardon For Condemned Murderer.

Florida was shocked in January, 1902,
when Mart B. Bartleson, one Of the
best known and most popular CONNER
cial agents in the state was murdered
in Miami by James O. Williams, says
the Jacksonville Metropolis. The MUIR
der was without any provocation what
soever, and Williams escaped the gal
lows, and after a fair trial was SEN
fenced for life to the penitentiary APP
peals to the Supreme courts were Of no
avail, and when a pardon was first
spoken Of it was ridiculed by the press.
The proposition was considered pre-
posterous. Yet the state Board Of
Pardons Saturday gave this murderer
his liberty. Of course it was condi-
tional pardon, pending his good be-
havior; but there is not murderer in
the state penitentiary who would not
promise to be christian to be liber-
ated. Such action an the part of the
Pardoning Board encourage crimes, and
it is difficult to understand what in
fiuences the members at times in the
abuse Of their power. Justice Of the
peace l. L. Farris, of this city, acting
as attorney for Williams, went before
the Pardoning Board on last Wednes-
day and pleaded for the liberation Of
his client and was successful. And yet
we wonder why there are so many muir
derers in the state Of Florida.
