A Gentle Rehuke to the President

The refusal of the house committee
to adopt the scheme of federal con
troll Of life insurance favored by the
president is in some respects the hard
est blow of all the hard raps which
the present congress has administered
to Mr.. Roosevelt He is bound 10 feel
this blow. for he has had in this in
stance no popular support to fall back
on or TO soften the severity of its
effect, as he had in the Philippine
and some other proposals TO which
he had given his support
Mr.. Roosevelt's position on the life
Insurance question was taken DELHI
erately and in open defiance of the
advice of some Of the ablest of his
party associates. He took no account
of the legal phases of the problem.
The report of the house committee is
a rebuke which he will feel Of his in
termeddling in the matter although the
language employed by the committee
is mild.
The committee report is as follows:
Let it be kindly but not Extensively.

The Convict Lease System.

Editor. though / do not see any ex-
preston of your own opinion in the
paper. I wish to say that / for one
endorse every word of the said article
and ] am glad to see one editor who
has the courage to speak out.

the courage required of an editor

Of shocking cruelty practiced on our
state convicts 10 which ] could give

TO repeat. Now. in my opinion. the
Convict Lease System has been
weighed in the balance and found

labor and besides they make men who
otherwise would be ordinarily humane
and kind, cold and cruel and heart

have had many opportunities of see
ing the system and l know whereof
speak. l have no luminosity against
any convict lessee. but on the contra
ry. some of them are friends Of mine.
The writer once knew an instance
that happened several years ago, as
follows:
A certain convict lessee had u lot
of convicts on d turpentine farm and
they were given at their tasks nearly
double the tasks of free labor-a fact
which. by the way. is quite common.
This lessee'S father was a preacher
who occasionally preached to the con-
victs. One night one of the convict
guards asked the old gentleman di-
rectly: Did he believe that the AL
mighty approved of this" The rever-
end gentleman replied that ne had
asked the Lord in prayer exactly
about that and ne had received an
answer saying that --- calling
his son by na1nel did nor hit them

DRAINAGE
THE EVERGLADES DRAIN.
SCHEME.

Mr.. C. F. Venable. of Center Hin,
Sumter county, has been in Ocala fol
one or two days past and on Tuesday
might at the Montezuma hotel was in
teresting a group of listeners TO an
account of his trip to the everglades.
Mr.. Yenable, perhaps. is as we'll post
ed on the everglades as any man in
Florida In 1892 he spent three months
there with a party of surveyors anC
has visited that section several times
since.
He says that the scheme Of Gov
ernor Broward is feasible. That there
is a sufficient fall to make it feast
BILE, but that it will cost a large sum
of money. and after it is drained, Mir.
VenabIe says that more than IS per
cent of the land reclaimed would be
absolutely valueless. That the bottom
| of these submerged lands are pure
white sand and the lands that are
submerged, embracing, in many in
stances, large areas, are treeless and
shrubless, and, indeed, so poor that
they do not contain single blade of
grass. Besides this, Mr.. Venable says
that outside of Lake Okeechobee, in
the everglades proper, there are huge
springs as large as silver Springs and
hundreds of little springs gushing from
the bowels of the earth in all direc-
tons.
Mr. Venable's conclusions are that
the scheme is an immensely costly
one and if successful will prove TO be
entirely Improbable.

WORKING ON RATE BILL
Efforts to Frame a Satisfactory
Court RevieSO amendment.
~ The Assoalataa presl-1

Washington. May 2-With only one more dav
for general debate on the Railroad Rate hin sn
dividual amendnlents and combinations of sew
eral amendments were circulated freely on the
floor OF the Senate to-day, with a view 70 get
ting something on the subject OF judicial review
of orders Of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion on which majority OF the Senate can
agree in advance Of voting. One OF the propo-
sitions discussed with more than the usual in
ferest given 70 pending amendments was COM
bination OF amendments offered by Senators
Long. Overman and Bacon. The effect Of these
would be TO recognize the jurisdiction Of the
courts. but providing that no writ Of injunc-
ton OF interlocutory order should be granted by
any district or circuit court without first giving
hve days notice to the adverse party. and re-
curing that the order shall be concurred in and
ordered by at least two judges presiding at the
nearing and that at least one OF these should be
Judge OF a Circuit Court or a Justice of the
Supreme Court
The first clause OF this combination is taken
from the amendment agreed on at a conference
between the President and friends Of the pend
ing bin and strikes out the provision limiting
the jurisdiction Of the courts to a determine
ton whether the order complained OF was be-
yono the authority Of the commission or In
Constitution.
From the position taken by leaders on both
SIDES OF the controversy over the court features
of the bill It is believed that the Senate will be
aole 10 agree on amendment substantially
IN accord with the combination suggested
The original opponents OF the bill have not
agreed 70 accept the compromise, however, and
some OF them have asserted to-day that they
nave Hne strength TO adopt more radical re-
view amendment Friends OF the bill have been
eQuelly positive In their assertions that nothing
can De put into the bill providing for review
of tne constitutional questions. and adding 70
that the Bailey amendment prohibiting the
courts TO suspend orders Of the commission
peuulnS the review. This amendment, however,
did not meet with favor. and II Is not certain
whether Senator TiIlman will offer II.

eight hundred and fifty have asked for the re-

licenses couldDtake saloon licenses closing the
