The Supreme Court of Florida has
handed down no more important de-
cision recently than the one reversing
Judge Malone as to the true character
OF q conditional pardon, synopsis of
which was given in our Tallahassee
letter Saturday. Under that decision
the man who violates his conditional
pardon, even IL the violation occurs
after the time has expired for which he
was sentenced, can be rearrested and
compelled to serve out the remainder
of the sentence. This is sound sense
and we are glad to know that it is
sound law, for it will give to the eondi-
tional pardon system a greatly in
creased value as an agency TO discour-
age crime. Live Oak Democrat.

Most Of our readers win have = clear
recollection Of the ease Of Peter Horne,
who was convicted In Gadsden county
IN 1888 of q deadly assault upon the
life Of Conductor Harry Taylor, and
sentenced BY Judge Malone TO q five
year term In the convict camps, and
who was released in 1901, during his
term Of imprisonment, on a conditional
pardon. Having violated the condi-
tionS Of the pardon, Horne was rear
rested few months ago and consigned
TO prison 70 complete his sentence, the
PardOning Board having formally re-
voked the conditional pardon. Claim
ing that his rearrest occurred after the
term of his original sentence had ex-
pired he was not subject to It's penal
ties, Horne appealed to the court for
relief, and Judge Malone (perhaps with
a view to the conclusive determination
of the new and difficult question by the
highest court) discharged him. A few
days ago the Supreme Court reversed
the Circuit Court and directed that
tribunal to institute an inquiry into the
facts alleged showing the violation by
Horne Of the terms Of the pardon, and,
II the same are established, that he be
remanded to complete the term Of his
sentence.
In effect, the decision Of the Supreme
Court, which was unanimous, upholds
the contention Of the Pardoning Board
that the power TO revoke a conditional
pardon for good cause, even after the
term Of the original sentence has ex-
pired, 10 absolute. The case was ably
presented by counsel on both sides, and
the result is a pleasing demonstration
Of the legal ability and weIl-known
talents of the Attorney-General, who
represented the State.

thirty minutes from the time you step
from the main line train at DeLand
Junction you are IN DeLand, the
Athens of Florida, surrounded by all
the comforts and conveniences of life.
Another way of reaching DeLand
is by the East Coast railroad from
Jacksonville This route, as rule,
is adopted by those who desire to take
in the resorts on the famous East
Coast, and who, stopping over at the
various points of interest, make De-
Land the final stopping place. AS a
rule, when they reach DeLand, they
are cOntented to remain here tor the
balance of the season. The East Coast
trains leave the Union Station at jack
sonville at frequent intervals, and tour
lists can break the journey to DeLand
by stops at St Augustine, Daytona
and Ormond, finally taking train for

The most delightful way of approach
to DeLand, however, from New York
or Boston is by the way of the Clvde
steamships to Jacksonville and the
Clyde river boats from Jacksonville
up the river to Beresford, where car
riages await every boat and convey
the tourists in a short half hour to
DeLand.
The ocean trip is very beneficial and
a joy to most travellers. The dust,

Hospitality and home feeling go
hand in hand. You no sooner drink

as near perfect as any in the world.
Our winters are like unto the delight
full Indian summer of New York and
New England with variations of from
nearly freezing to 90 degrees to 70
degrees in the shade. This climate is
found much more stimulating than
that of Bahama, West Indies or our
Florida lower East Coast
Our summers range from 70 to 90
degrees, seldom touching as high
points as locations in the Hudson riv-
er and Ohio and Mississippi Valleys
and constantly refreshed by the south
east trade winds that blow constant
from the Atlantic over 80 miles of pine
forest.
DeLand, lying on a ridge of hills
five miles from the St. Johns river
and thirty miles from the Atlantic
ocean with a sandy sell and perfect
drainage, offers perfect sanitary con-
ditions.
The water supply comes from arte-
sian wells of remarkable purity and is
