SUGGESTION TO THE
BAR ASSOCIATION.
Jacksonville MetrOpolis.)

The meeting of Florida attorneys in
Jacksonville this week for the purpose
of organizing State Bar Association
was a success, and will, doubtless re
suit in much good to all attorneys
throughout the state. Florida has
lawyers the equal of those to be found
in any state in the Union. and, besides
esteem of their feIlow-citizens, be
cause their whole course has been one
that is unmarried by any act of pro
fessional dishonesty The duties of
an attorney are varied, and it requires
good judgement to steer clear of the
pitfalls in the legal road. Every COM
munity has its attorneys. They are
necessary, as courts would be null
ity without them and while the up
right and pure are q blessing both as
attorneys and citizens, the shyster and
pettfogger is disgrace to commun-
ity, and 10 the profession, and it would
be a good start if the State Bar As
scciation would weed out those who
bring discredit upon the profession by
their various tricks and methods and
personal conduct.
Honest and conscientious attorneys
live for higher aims and purposes
than the mere hope of making money
by exhOrbitsnt fees forced from eli
ents in many instances where they
are out of all reason, considering the
work done
Another class which the State Asso-
citation should bar out is the attorney
who foments strife for the sole pur-
pose of obtaining employment and
fees, and those who encourage di-
vorces and other suits with q view
solely to making money out of them
All members of the State Association
should earnestly work together TO rid
the profession entirely of this latter
class and require each and every at
Lorney TO strictly abide by the rules
which countenance only upright and
proper methods.

THE THIN WOMAN.
When Remedies Fail to Fiji Out tbs
Lines and Hollows.

When Remedies Fail to Fiji Out fhz
Lines and Hollows
Sometimes the sad truth dawns upon
one that after weeks Of patient mas
sage and faithful applications of cream
and what not there is no change In the
sunken lines of the neck and shout
ders; the hollows In the cheeks have
not filled, even a little; 1t Is, no use.
That is the unhappy conclusion, and in
some cases it is really final. In the
huest or the keeping OF fair face and
form there is one thing that must be
considered, one thing that will some
times absolutely defy all effort-nat-
ural tendency. There are some cases
where one Is thin and always will be
thin in spite Of everything. But a wo-
man can determine this easily. It
does not take much experience to learn
the fact, and when it Is learned there
is but one sure thing to do-cultivate
grace of carriage and movements,
faultless skin, bright and intelligent
eyes, beautiful hair and white teeth.
With these-and to gain them is not
small task-a woman may be charm
itself, despite her slim proportions
Natural tendencies are hard to cope
with-when they are in the wrong di-
rection- Some hair is naturally thin
and meager; some teeth are uneven In
contour and arrangement; some hands
are built along ungraceful lines. But
every one Of the faults of nature may
be compensated by cleanliness, care,
faithful attention to all that will cult
vate charm and a refinement of dress
and manner.-Chicago News.

Lamar and Clark.

Two of Florida's congressman have
brought themselves into prominence
through the introduction of bills which
have brought forth comment from
every section of the country
Congressman Clark has introduced
bin authorizing the president to ne
gotiate the sale of the Philippine
Islands 10 Japan. This bill has re
ceived favorable comment from many
OF the prominent papers and it will
undoubtedly be the subject of lengthy
debates in the house.
Congressman Lamar has recently
introduced bill providing for the
election of Supreme Court judges. the
country to be divided into nine judicial
districts for this purpose. The bill
also provides that each locality shall
elect its own postmaster. This will
certainly meet with the approval of
the southern states and many of the
northern ones. The office Of postmas-
ter is a most important one and the
people are better able 10 Judge who
viii serve them faithfully than the
president Too often the appoint
ments are made more from the politi-
cal standing OF the applicant than from
his fitness to I'll the position.
There is but little hope. however,
that republican congress will allow
such a bin TO pass.-Key West Citizen.

The Mariana Times-Courier says
that it does not believe a county
should be allowed representation in
the legislature on the basis of the
number of inhabitants, and that the
negro should be left out of the calcu-
lations. In a recent issue it says:

titled to more representatives in the IegiS-

ports OF the several counties in the state

Legislative Apportionment.


The one serious fault with Mr.
Charles A. ChOate's schemes of legis
lative re apportionment consists in
the fact that it would take represen
tation from some of the largest white
constituencies and give TO these coun
ties having the greatest number OF
black inhabitants. For instance, to
Alachua county, with but 1883
whites and 20,409 negroes, it would
give three representatives, and to JEFF
ferson county with but 3,095 whites
and 10,035 negroes, it would give two,
while counties having three times the
number of white inhabitants credited
to Jefferson county would be cut TO
one representative. 1t may be that
his cheme is in accordance with the
constitution but, as Tim Sullivan once
said, What's the constitution 'twixt
friends" / e democrats.-Palatka

Payment of Fines
By the Railroads.

The Madison Recorder, whose edi-
/ tor is the secretary of the Florida
I railroad commission, says that the
railroads are paying some of the fines
imposed by the commission. The
Journal several days ago noted the
fact that several small fines had been
paid by the companies, and asked as
to the payment of the larger fines.
In replying to the question the Re
corder says:
The Pensacola Journal thinks that if
the railroads pay the small fines they
can be made to pay the larger ones but
that does not necessarily follow: They
may not have any defense in the case
of the small ones while they may have
a good defense tn the case of the larger
ones. The principle" may not be all
the same Furthermore it might be true
that while they might think they had a
good defense in the case of small fine.
yet rather than go to the expense and
trouble OF contest IN the courts they
would prefer to pay it. while In the case
of a large fine they would prefer the con-
test
AS a matter of fact, the assumption
of The Journal, that the railroads pay
the small fines imposed by the commits
sion and declining to pay the others is
net correct. During the past twelve
months the Seaboard has paid fine of
delayed trains while the same road has
declined TO pay a fine of one hundred
and fifty dollars imposed for failure to
rosd @ TO certain t IAN T6PgRsF The
the case of the failure to bulletin trains
while in the other case it believes It has
a good defense. The court must decide
in the latter case. whether the commits
sion or the road iS correct.
During the past year the commission
has imposed several fines against the
Seaboard and Coast Line for failure to
act as common carrier by not furnish
ing cars. Those roads have failed and
refused to pay any of these fines whether
great increase in the Business of of the the
roads has come on so suddenly that ordi-
nary good business Judgment did not re-
quire that they should have been pre-
pared for it by having procured increased
equipment. also that they endeavored to
get the equipment but that their orders
were not filled according to contracts.
Such were their defenSes before the COM
mission
The commission decided against them.
BY declining 10 pay the fines they are ap-
pe2bng their cases. as IL were to the
higher courts, jaSt as an individual con-
Victed Of criminal act can do The
commission is referring tho case of each
unpaid fine to the attorney general for
him TO compel payment Suits are al
ready pending IN several OF these cases
Under the present law the railroads
have the right of appeal from the de-
cisions of the commission, and if
they believe that the rulings of the
commission are unjust they invariably
So far as the cost of litigd-
ton is concerned that would not pre-
vent the roads from appealing case,
because they all have specially re- |
tanned counsel, and this additional ex-
pense would be comparatively small. |
An appeal means a delay, and this is !
generally the cause of these appeals, |
though there are doubtless many
cases where the companies honestly |
believe they are being treated unfair
