Here is a minister who appreciates
the editor. At recent editorial con-
vention he offered the following toast :
ITO save an editor from starvation,
take his paper and pay for it promptly.
To save him from bankruptcy, advertise
in his paper literally To save him
from despair, send him every item of
news of which you can get hold. To
save him from profanity, write your
correspondence plainly on one side of
the sheet and send it in as soon as pos
sible. To save him from mistakes,
bury him. Dead people are the only
ones who never make mistakes"

A nIstAKsn Idea.

The Tribune is in receipt of a letter
from Mr.. j. Emmett Wolfe, private
secretary to Governor Broward. in
which he claims that the Tribune has
rmisstated the facts, in a special from
Arcadia, concerning the resent hanging
of Albert Simmons, the statement com.
planned Of being as follows:
THE case of Simmons is notable as
the only one involving the death pen
atty which the State Pardoning Board
has not interfered with in this State in
a term Of years
Mr. Wolfe submits list Of the legal
executions in this State in the past two
years. numbering IL in all, and asserts
that these facts show that the Tribune's
statement was entirely Incorrect
Mr.. Wolfe evidently mistakes the
meaning Of the word "interfered" as
used in the Tribuhes Arcadia CORE
spondence. The Tribune's correspond
ent certainly did not mean to saw that
Simmons was the only man who had
been hanged in Florida in a term of
years. BY the word interference as
used by him he evidently meant consid-
cred, delayed, or held up by the State
Pardoning Board
If the TribuIe's information is cor
rect, Simmons case was not appealed
to the pardoning board at all. In this
particular II certainly was unique in
Florida criminal procedure.
OF the twelve cases Of legal execu-
ton cited by Mr. Wolfe. the Tribune
notes only one, that of Simmons, in
which some effort was not made by
friends or attorneys Of the condemned
man 20 secure a Communication of SEN
tence from the pardoning board, there
Is generally consideration by that board,
and this consideration involves DELAY,
and frequently postponement, Of the
execution.
In the case Of Edward Lamb, of Man
atee county. cited by Mr.. Wolfe. the
Tribune distinctly remembers that the
execution was held up a long time, pend.
ing consideration by the pardoning
board
The case Of lsham Edwards was also,
II we mistake not, before the pardon.
ing board sor a considerable period.
Perhaps MIR. Wolfe will claim that
the execution Of Isaiah K. Cooper has
not been ''interfered with" by the par
doning board.
Appeals to the State Pardoning Board
nearly always mean delay in the exc
cution Of the mandate of the law; not
infrequently they mean cheating the
gallows Of victim. So generally has
this idea become that the first recourse
of condemned mans lawyers is an ap-
peal 70 the said board. And, because
this course was not adopted in the case
OF Simmons, his case became a curios-
ity and worthy of the special mention
which it received in the Tribune. -

Kansas Omesrs and Liquor Dealers

If some Florida dry counties would
show a sentiment and determination to
enforce prohibition laws as they do in
Kansas, we believe prohibition could
and would be enforced. Read how vio-
lators are handled there, and by officials
too, if you please:
The Anti-Saloon crusade at Kansas
City, Kan, was renewed Thursday with
increasing vigor, In addition to de-
stroying stocks of liquor and bar fix
lures, c. w. Trickett, the assistant at
torney general, appointed by Governor
Hoch to enforce the prohibition law, to-
day threatened TO demolsh saloon build
ings If the owners persist in renting
their places TO the saloon men. Many
of these buildings are owned by the
brewing companies. Today Attorney
Trickett began sending out warnings to
property owners.
This is TO notify you," reads the
warning, that if you permit said prem
ises to be again used for the sale of in
toXicating liquors, SO as TO make Aeces-
sary the issuance of a second writ of
abatement, shall order the premises
sufficiently abolished so that no third
trip will be necessary, and, in addition,
will cite you for contempt of court in
aiding and assisting the violation of the
order Of the court
There are about 100 saloons in Kan.
sas City, Kan, about 50 of which have
been closed.
A portion of the property was de-
stroyed Wednesday, and Thursday the
officials continued TO spill liquor and
break up costly bars, tables and other
furniture.

Equal AII--speciaI Privileges

and townships SS, 81 and IS, range 20.
Most of the townships are high, nc
swamp to drain. and running from one
70 two hundred feet above sea level.
Most of these townships are covered
with a growth of average second-class
pine timber, studded with clear lakes,
which naturally drain themselves in a
southerly direction"
Then, in direct opposition to the
drainage scheme of Governor Broward,
Commissioner King says:
THE soil is a sandy, thirsty soil, and
needs irrigation more than it needs
drainage.
"In atlantis opinion the section COW
cred by these townships would not be
benefited in the slightest way by the
lowering of the general water level
south of this section. In fact, it would
rather injure the lands than benefit
them.
"In atlantis opinion a considerable
section of Polk county, north Of the
drainage district, needs drainage more
than the townships described above.
This evidence, coming from man
who, as public official, has devoted
the last twelve years of his life to inn
proving the section of the country he
claims the carrying out of the drainage
plan would injure rather than benefit,
is Of character which cannot be disre-
garded by those who are interested in
the progress Of the scheme of Governor
BroWard.

NOD COmpIImentary to PubIic Omcers

Richard Garfield, the most notorious
gambler in the country, and one whose
investments in gaming establishments
run into the millions, is authority for
the statement that even a square"
gambling game is sure thing" for
the house that operates it, not so much
by reason of the percentage in favor Of
the man running the game as by reason
of the fact that, once the gambling
fever has grasped its victim, he is sure

ually lose any winnings. he may have
made. II the victim should be a loser
he returns to the tables in the hope of
getting even"
which gambling is tolerated, fewer still
in which the gamblers are allowed to
run wide open, and TO the credit Of
our country be it said, the sphere of the
gambler is rapidly being reduced. Pri-
vate gambling cannot be prevented, but
games open TO all corners can and should
be suppressed in all enlightened COM
munities
Pensacola, together with other cities,
has more than once been blackened by
crimes that can be charged directly, II
not to the gamblers themselves, to the
fact that gambling existed in the COM
munity, and the sporadic efforts of the
authorities TO suppress the evil have not
been permanently successful.
The only way gambling can be eradi-
Gated is by concerted and energetic &C.
ton against the gamblers, and that
such action has not been taken, in view
of conditions which are not only known
% exist, but which are common talk, is
anything but complimentary to the Of
fcials TO whom the people have en-
trusted the enforcement Of the laws,
and TO whom they look for protection
from vice and crime of every descrip-
ton. Pensacola Journal.

Drunkenness Among Nations.

Which is the most inebriate
country in the world? In the
current Harper's Weekly Mr..
Sydney Brooks gives some in
teresting facts bearing upon this
point. Apropos of the drink
question in England, he points
out that countries that drink the
most are not necessarily the most
drunken. On paper the greatest
drinkers in the world are the
French, yet France is notorious
ly temperate country. Her sta
tistics Of police drunkenness are
less than one-fourth the English
record. Italy, Spain and Portu-
gal, being wine-growing and
ne-drinking countries, have
large statistics Of consumption,
but are, as }. after OF fact, ex-
ceedinely temperate. Northern
Russia, Scandinavia and Scot
land ere the most drunken parts
Of Europe, though the consump-
ton Of alcohol per head is COM
paratively low. For the past ten
years England has spent on
drink from 1876, 900, 900 to $780,
000, 900 a year. Her average an
nual expenditure on drink
amounts, therefore. 10 a sum
that is more than the entire an
nual revenue.
