Columbia, who will represent the
Twentieth Senatorial District, is in
favor of advanced Legislation on the
temperance question. He says that
the temperance question is of the
greatest Importance, and he shall ia
vor the extension of the Adams law
to the entire state. He favors the seq
regation of saloons IN the large cit
les. If it is not done by another, Sen
ator-elect Greenlaw proposes TO intro
duce a bill making the state tax on
saloons $1,000, also bill to stop, as
far as possible. the jug trade in dry
territory.
On the subject of election laws Mr..
Greenlaw says: II shall favor an ex-
tension, in a modified form. of the
Australian ballot system to places
other than the towns and cities. In
Maury county we have this law apply
ing to the whole county, and. while 1t
has cut down our vote, it is working
fine, and, with some amendments to
make it little more flexible for rural
communities and less expensive, be-
lieve it to be an ideal law. It has
done more to purify the ballot in our
county than anything we have ever
had"
On the subject of school laws Sena,
tor-elect Greenlaw says: II believe a
County Board of Education, or some
thing along that line, would be an Inn
provement over the District School
Commissioners, as we now have, and
1t may be that shall introduce some
bill on this subject"
Mr.. Greenlaw takes a strong stand
against race-track gambling, and says:
Il have never been able to see any
difference between the refined gam
bling on rae track and the ordinary
crap game bet or any other form Of
gambling, unless 1t be that the race
track gambler is a little worse on

State Senator-elect W. NJ. Carter,
of Marshall County, who will repre-
sent the Nineteenth District in the
next State Senate, says, in discussing
the question of proposed temperance
legislation by the next General AS
sembly, that he is In favor of every
bit of temperance legislation we can
safely enact. In this connection
may say that, in my opinion, one Of
the most needful laws that could be
enacted would be one for the protec-
tion of dry districts-those already I'M
der the operation of the Adams law.
/ shall introduce or vote for bill pro-
hibiting, so far as possible, the deliv-
cry or giving away of intoxicants in
dry sections where the Adams law is
in force, especially to make is more
stringent in the case of minors"
He says on the question of insur-
ance legiEIation that, in order to les
sen the fire waste, he favors some
thing like the Fire Marshal law. He
also favors more publicity on the part
of the insurance companies.
Senator-elect Carter says that he
is "in favor Of jury commission for
every county in the state, and think
I shall introduce a hill for enactment
along this line. This law has been
effective for good in several counties,
and 1t would no doubt be good ben

vors increasing the appropriation for
pensioning old soldiers to at least
$500, 900 per annum. and for the ben
eft of the widows of soldiers to at
least SEC, per annum.
Mr. Meadows thinks that It is al
most a matter of impossibility to
frame general road law that is ap-
picable to the entire state, the geo.
graphical conditions being such that
what would suit one division of the
state would not suit others. He be-
lieves that the Constitution should be
so amended as to enable each county,
through its County Court, to adopt
such road systems as would meet the
requirement of each particular coun-
ty.
Mr.. Meadows favors a more rigid
law and the adoption of some
plan to have such law enforced. He

Advanced Backward.

The expression advanced back
ward" gained great currency just
after the rencounter on the floor of
the United States senate between
Senator Henry S. Foote of Missis-
sippi and Senator Thomas H. Ben
ton of Missouri. In that famous
verbal duel, which almost culminat-
ed in a bloody tragedy, one of the
senators-perhaps Foote, though
this is a matter of recollection
bore down on Benton, when the hat
ter drew his pistol, an old Allen,
commonly called in those days a
pepper box and sometimes a wasp
nest. FOote stopped, and afterward
in detailing the occurrence he said
that when 'CMr. Benton pulled his
pepper box I advanced backward"

THE DRUNFSARD
AND THE JUDGE
Ocala Banner.

Ocala Banner

Noble, big1hearted Joe Wall, judge
of the sixth judicial circuit, contrib
utes the following tribute to the tragic
death Of a man in Tampa while in a
state of intoxication, which does cred,
it TO his heart. In this tribute to the
unfortunate victim the nobler i'm
pulses Of the writer are shown in big
letters:
Tampa, Fla, May IL, 1906.
To the Editor Of the Times:
VIII you kindly give me a short
space in your columns to speak a
word for the memory of my poor
friend Emanuel Silva, who met with
such a tragic death last night.
only ask this because there appears
in one of the morning papers an ac-
count of him which, though probably
true in the main, yet does not do him
justice, due doubtless to the fact that
the writer only knew the worst side
of the man. Drunkard and social pa.
riah though he may have been, 1 am
not ashamed to call Manuel Silva my
friend, because he was, and because
knew the man well for years and APP
preciated the sterling qualities of the
heart which beat beneath-his ragged
coat.
He was his own worst enemy.
During the fifteen years of my &C
quaintance with him, the worst charge
ever heard made against him was
his fortunate propensity for drink.
He was honest and reliable in all
his little business transactions. When
be made a promise he kept it religi-
ously, in spirit as well as in letter,
and he was always ready to work day
and night for any one who had be-
friended him.
Honest in his business dealings,
true to his promises, and loyal to his
friends; surely those attributes should
be sufficient to palliate, if not to off
set, graver faults in the eyes of the
Omniscient Judge, than any which are
charged against the account Of poor
old Manuel Silva. Peace to his ashes.
J. B. WALL.

6nd replaced by the smaller and slow
er vessels now in that trade. just
what disposition will be made OF the
Pacific Mail steamers is not def1n1tely
known as yet, although it is known
That so certain are the japanese OF Sc
curing these vessels that they nave
The lines all mapped out and Will IN
.agurate the service as soon as the
transfer of the vessels is completed.
The acquisition of these American
steamers is part of the scheme OF the
great Anglo-Japanese combine recent
ly launched with capital OF forty MIL
lion yen.
The sailing vessels of Arthur Sc
wall & Co., of Bath Maine ara now on
their last voyages on the Pacific. A
number will be loaded with lumber at
Seattle and brought around the Horn
10 Atlantic ports after which they will
be dismantlad and used as baTges. A
few of the best, some of them now en-
route from Hawaii with sugar, will be
Ilaced in the coastwiSe trade. The
steamers Of the American-HaWaiian
steamship line now sailing from Seat
tie, will be brought to the coastWise
trade, unless they are purchased by
the Japanese.
The rapidity with which the Japa-
nese have moved in this matter has
commanded the admiration of all COM
mercial nations. Although having
cheap labor for their ships and ship
yards, the government has heavily
subsidized both the yards and the
ships. In two months last year be-
tween thirty-five and forty were pur-
chased in England and in thirteen
wears the Japanese tonnage has risen
from 100000 to $4,000 the Nippon
lusen Ka;sha fleet alone having rs
vessels aggregating 100000 tons. The
fleet of the Union of Steamship
Owners includes III vessels of 3d.
COO tons. In 1905 the Mitsu Bishl
Dockyard and Engine Works, at Ma
6aSki, employed seven thousand men
throughout the year Consul Charles
y. Harris, at Nagasaki, has called the
attention of the Department of Com
Iaerce nd Labor to the fact that these
are thoroughly progressive and up to
date" and there is chance for Ameri-
cans to sell them large quantities Of
goods.
One fact in connection with the
abandonment CT our merchant marine
on the Pacific. is giving the friends OF
American shipping much grim salts
faction. The American Federation OF
Labor was brought in line against the
ship subsidy bill by the Sailors and
Longshoremenis Union of the Pacific
Coast. When Japan gets our ships
she will man them with Chinese and
Japanese and the members of the IN
ions will be out of employment except

The Travellers Tree.

In the island of Jamaica there is
a tree that is greatly admired by all
visitors; hence its name-traveler's
tree. 1t is similar to the palm tree,
but in shape is like fan. A curl
Gus feature of this tree is that its
plumehke leaves sway and bend with
the sun and the rain. In rainy
weather the leaves bend almost to
the ground, but in sunshine they
raise themselves to their upright
and more graceful position. The
effect is very curious, for the leaves
of this tree are immense. Any place
Of consequence in Jamaica has one
or more of these specimens, but it is
necessary to travel there for a sight
of them, for they will not grow In
any other climate.

The Defeat of
Senator e. W. Carmack.

The following is from The Journals
versatile contemporary, the Live Oak
Democrat:
Our esteemed friend. The Pensacola
Journal, glOats over the defeat of Sen
ator Carmack by Bob Taylor Up in
Tennessee in a most unchTisJian way,
and its mildest reference to him is to
describe him as a "swell-neaded sena-
tor" and an "impudent egotist."
The merits Of a man are not found
in his mannerisms nor, guaged by
them. The great Roscoe COnklIng,
one Of the giants of his day in the SEN
ate, was an insunerable egotist, often
fnsolent and tsctless-"a strutting
turkey gObbler"-as Blaine called him.
Cbss. Summer had such a case OF
habitual "swell-head" that his closest
party associates could hardly endure
him at times; and there are numerous
instances, not only in our public life
but within the range Of the personal
acquaintance Of nearly every one. of
men abounding in fine qualities whose
Teneering Of self esteem offeuds us by
the implied depreciation of our own
merits.
But II is the merest veneering after
ala surface fault-which does not
impair the value OF the solid body or
character beneath il. Carmack val
ues himself highly and he makes no
cOncealment Of it; and in the latter
quality lies the chief difference be-
tween him and most other public men
more approachable and cOnciliatory
His Sswell-head" is really a case of
large head given him by nature to hold
q lRrEe brain, and his 'impUdent ego
tism" is simply the aggreSsiveness OF
= fighter who has had to win his way
BY. hard ticks through the turbulence
Of Tennessee politics.
We would like to get The Journal
right on Ed Carmack and have its es-
teemed editor join with US in wearing
crepe for the untimely political down.

eminent merits were Ungrudgingly

SOME AWFUL CRIMES
IN WEST FLORIDA
Live Oak Democrat.

No part Of the state has better peo-
pie or more Of them in proportion to
the whole number than West Florida,
but it is unhappily true that that Sec
ton is achieving an undesirable prom
inence for horrible murders. some of
them holOcausts, and the good people
there owe it to themselves and to the
cause Of civilization itself to put forth
extraordinary efforts to bring to JUS
tice the perpetrators of these crimes.
No one has yet been convicted OF
the frightful butchery of Judge Christ
mas, his wife and child in Jackson
county, and now comes the appalling
news of the slaughter near Milton of
the old itinerant preacher Acremau
and his wife and seven children by
some unknown monster whose identity
is not even suspected.
It is awful to think of such crimes
going UNPUBLISHED and that their per-
petrators are at large to commit vet
others perhaps equally as terrible
when the purpose shall enter their
foul, degenerate minds. Of course,
such hideous moral freaks in human
nature may do their work anywhere
at any unexpected time, they are typi-
cal Of no community or section, and
the fact that their crimes have in re.
cent months been committed in West
Florida is no reproach to that part of
the state.
But it viii be a reproacn If there
shall be. any indifference in public
sentiment or lack of extraordinary ef-
fort to apprehend the criminals and
bring them to speedy justice, no mat.
ter what difficulties NAV he in the
way or what cost must be incurred.
Not only the pride OF civilization
and adherence and indignation at the
crime, but the instinct Of self preser-
walton should move everv man in the
county and counties surrounding
where these fearful deeds have been
perpetrated TO intense personal effort
TO capture the guilty parties, and this.
too. without the stimulus of a monied
reward, for No one can tell but that
his time may come next as long as
such fiendS are at large.
