The weekly true Democrat. (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1905-1912, 1906-01-26

The city primary election Tuesday
was quiet and orderly and was conduct
ed as near in accordance with law as Il
was possible with the election officers
70 have it, statements to the contrary
notwithstanding. Every fair minded
citizen of Tallahassee will condemn the
persistent efforts being made by few
70 besmirch the character and standing
Of some Of our best business men and
citizens, and IL Is not necessary to go
into print with lengthy replies to such
stuff. The election Of Mr.. Gilmore and
others Of his ticket after the desperate
and determined fight made against
them is complimentary, and in view of
the fact that such desperate means had
been resorted TO shows conclusively
that the citizens Of Tallahassee did not
and do not approve Of the sort Of cam
paign waged by the tickets enemies.
In view Of all the facts before us, even
the small majority the successful can
didates received is gratifying, in that
it proves that the people of Tallahas-
see can always be relied upon to do the
right and proper thing in condemnation
Of unfair and underhanded methods in
all things and at all times.
There was no personal fight waged
against DR.. Henry E. Palmer, or a sin
gle citizen named on his ticket every
man among them we're among our best
citizens-and under different circum-
stances every citizen Of Tallahassee
would delight TO vote for them and
have them as our representative Off
Gals, but, when it is known that an
element Of citizens brought about the
candidacy of that ticket and waged the
kind Of campaign they did against some
Of the very best men in this city, no
one Is surprised at the result. Had the
Palmer ticket come from any other
source than from which it sprung, and
had the venom and bitterness that was
engendered from that same fountain
head been left off, the result Of the
primary might have been different, and
the citizens Of Tallahassee would have
been as we'll satisfied to have had DR..
Henry f. Palmer our Mayor, and every
member Of his ticket AZ Councilmen, as
a majority are that they have Mr.. Gil
more and his ticket. People do not
like TO aid and abet a movement Of any
kind they have q right to think selfish
motives are behind. They sized the
kind of campaign that was thrust upon
them up and did the right and proper
thing, at the right and proper time,
and in the right and proper way-even
II 1t was done by a small majority.
There is now another campaign on
in this county. II the same tactics are
persisted in mark the prediction the
same crushing rebuke will be admins
tered TO those who are responsible for
It. Calm, cool judgment, fair dealing,
persuasive arguments can influence
most people to do the right thing, but
1omineering "bossism" is fast becom-
ing a slipped cog, as It were, and he
who resorts to the old time way of
ashing the bosses whip" is sure to
get left Enough Sed 4"

MAN THE BEST SWIMMER.
Far Ahead of the Lower Animals
in the Respect of Ma
tatory Power.

1t is curious that whereas the rabbit
cannot swim at ALL the hare is an ex.
cellent swimmer. The common mouse
and the field mouse can only swim
few yards; they drown in the act Of
swimming. Yet rats swim splendidly.
Lions and tigers swim well, al
though only from necessity-to cross
a river for example.
The horse can swim for miles with
out being exhausted, and shows
wonderful instinct in choosing the
best available landing place. Bears
and mcles swim well, but bats and
monkeys are helpless in the water.
All reptiles swim; so do most insects.
Human beings have grn"'er swim
min lowers than most of the lower
amir Ills. A man has been known to
swim 30 miles without a stop. The
only land animal known to have even
approached this performance is the
American black bear; but the Ameri-
can deer sometimes swims IL or IA
miles at stretch.

The Editor and the Doctor.

If au editor makes mistake he has
to apologize for it, but if doctor makes
a mistake he buries it. If an editor
makes one there is lawsuit, swearing
and the smell of sulphur, but If the doc
tor makes one there is funeral, cut
flowers and smell of varnish A doc
tor can use word yard long without
knowing what it means, but il the editor
uses it he has to spell it. If doctor
goes to see another mans wife he
charges for the visit, hut if an editor
goes to see another mans wife, he gets
a charge of buckshot. When a doctor
gets drunk it is a ease of ''oyercome by
heat" and il he dies, it is heart trouble.
When the editor gets drunk it's ease
of too much booze, and II he dies it's
case Of delirium tremens. Any old col
lege can, make doctor. You can't
make an editor; he has to be born Fix.

THE HUMPHREYS
BILL PASSED.
The Mississippi Representative Elated
Over His Victory.

Washington. D. G., May Z. The hap.
piest man in the house at the close oi
today's session was Representative Ben
iamin g. Humphreys OF Mississippi
whose bill providing for publicity OF in.
ternai revenue collectors records was
passed by a two-thirds vote. This bill
has been indorsed by the Mississippi
legislature on two occasions, and has
probably enlisted more interest in Mis-.
sissippi than any measure now pending
in congress.
To The Commercial Appeal CORE
spondent Mr.. Humphreys made the fol-
lowing statement concerning the pass
aye Of his bill:
Il was greatly surprised this morning
when a page came to me and told me
the speaker wanted TO see me, and !
was equally as delighted when "Uncle
Joe" said that he was going to let me
call up the bill. ...
II have been working for this meas
ure ever since | entered congress. |
was prosecuting attorney in my district
for number of years before came to
congress, and there found the great
injustice in the departments rule which
forbade the internal revenue collectors
to give any information against parties
who had taken out internal revenue
license from the United States. AS soon
as came here in the Flfty-eghtb CON
gress introduced the bill which passed
today, and ] have made numerous
speeches, both before congress and be-
fore the committee, urging it's passage.
I'm number of the states the fact
that man has paid the United States
the internal revenue tax is prima facie
evidence of guilt, but as long as the col
lectors refused to give any information
to the state authorities this law was a
dead letter. If my bill passes the sem
ate and becomes law the evidence suf-
fcient to convict will be easily accessi-
BILE as soon as the man pays the tax.
He will, of course, under such circum-
stances refuse to pay Uncle Sam, and
then if he is foolish enough to sell his
liquor anyway we will have the federal
authorities joined with the state officers
in hunting him down"
"Will the bill pass the senate?'
"Well, I'm not in the senate, bat it
has passed the house and | am feeling
particularly well pleased over the fact"
Mr.. Humphreys made strong speech
in the house last week in which he ar
raigned the Republicans for their failure
to let the house have vote on this bill.
So many Republicans went to see the
speaker after his speech and explained
the embarrassment it would cause them
in their districts In the coming campaign
il the bill failed ts pass that Mr.. Can
non agreed to let it come mp today. Mr..
Humphreys received many congratuIa-
tions wnen the bill passed.

COURT DIVIDED
ON THE QUESTION
Majority Hold that 80 Year Leases
Amount to Ownership.

Jackson, Miss, May S.-The most i'm
portant and interesting decision rem
dered by the Supreme Court at its sit
ting Yesterday afternoon was that deliv-
cred by Justices Calhoon and Truly,
with Chief Justice Whitfield dissenting,
in the case of the Moss Point Lumber
Company VS.. the Board OF Supervisors
nf Harrison county, which comes from
the Chaneery Court of that county,
where the appellees were granted DANA
ges for the alleged destruction from
sixteenth section lands leased by the
company for period OF ninety-nine
years. The majority Of the court affirm
ed.
The decision hangs upon the question
Of Just to what extent corporations or
persons leasing lands of this kind for a
long period Of years can extend over
them the principles of ownership, and
whether or not they are subject to pros
ecution in ease they damage the lands
to an extent that will make them less
valuable to the owners after the lease
has expired.
Judge Calhoon, in his decision. held
that the statute enacted by the legisla-
ture Of Mississippi in 1888 conferred
practical ownership upon the lessee Of
sixteenth section lands, and that leasing
property of this kind for ninety-nine
wears was almost equivalent to purchas-
ing it in fee simple.
Chief Justice Whitfield, in his dissent
ing opinion, held that the opinions of
the lower court in regard to the Ques-
tion could not be sound as long az the
lands were merely leased, which confer
red upon the owners the right to see
that the Iessees used the lands in only
such manner as was set forth in the
lease.
He quoted legislative enactments
passed during the years Of 1924, 1888,
1871, and the codes of 1880 and 1902,
showing that in none Of these instru-
ments was the words sale or fee
used, but that it was always "lease,"

MISSISSIPPI LOVING CUP.

That was a most historic incident
in the office of the Secretary of the
Navy when Congressman John
Sharp Williams, on behalf of the
Mississippi Branch of the Society Of
Colonial Danes, presented the silver
loving cup to Assistant Secretary
Newberry to be held in trust for the
battIeship NJ ssissippi,
In the first place, Congressman
Williams is the son Of the Colonel Of
the Twenty-seventh Tennessee Vol
unteers, Confederate States Army,
who was killed at the battle of
Shiloh. 1t was Congressman Will
liams, leader Of the minority in Con
gress who requested that this mod.
ern battleship be named Mississippi
in honor Of his State. Thus we
have the son Of Confederate Col
onel, leading the minority party in
the National Congress and naming
one Of Uncle Sans battLeships and
cementing the bond Of fellowship
between the North and the South.
Next we have present at this pre-
sentation, Admiral Dewey, who was
with Admiral F4rragut when the lat
ter came up the Mississippi river
and the hero of Manila pledges him
self to be present when the loving
cup is presented to the officers and
crew Of the Mississippi.
The recital of the historiaI events
with which the name Of Mississippi
through battIeship Of that name
is Of a most interesting character
and must be confessed that when
Mrs. Rhodes called upon Congress
man Williams to make the presenta-
ton speech, she designated a man
who proved himself thoroughly con
versant with history Of that old bat
tlespip.
The speech which we print in this
edition makes interesting reading
for the youth Of Mississippi and i'll
is just as good for the men who have
reached more mature years. It
shows that the gentleman from va
700 is living encyclopedia on the
subject Of his State and the hlstori-
cal incidents in the record of the
United States.

proud Of the copReclion Of resident
Of this city, Mras Rhodes, with this
most interesting event which took
