Judge Jackson Says Kansas
City Attorney Will Be

ENDORSEMENTS ARRIVING
City and State Shows Activities in Behalf
of His Candidacy.

Probably no more interesting
endorsement of William S. Cow
herd, who has announced his
candidacy for the nomination for
governor at the hands of the
Democracy of Missouri, has
been made than that given out
by Judge A. M. Jackson, of
Winfield, Kan. Judge Jackson's
remarks on Cowherd are the
more significant as he is what
might be termed a disinterested
spectator, who by virtue of the
fact that he served with Cow
herd in Congress is well fitted
to pass judgement on his worth.
The Democrats of Missouri
have always been so kind and
generous in giving advice to the
Democrats of Kansas, which has
been so appreciated by us, that
we like to reciprocate whenever
we cam, said Judge Jackson at
the Baltimore hotel today. I'VE
are conscious that as a rule the
Democrats of Missouri behave
\ so well that they do not need any
outside advice, but when we see
the name of w. S. Cowherd of
Kansas City mentioned for gov
ernor, we can't resist saying to
the Democrats of Missouri,
make it unanimous 1t would
not only be a credit to the great
state of Missouri to have Cow
herd as governor, but a credit to
the Democracy of the nation.
While, as governor, he would
only deal in state affairs, yet
every party must assume the
responsibility and answer for
every man it places in office.
An incompetent and inefficient
Democratic governor in any
state is hurtful to the cause of
Democracy everywhere. If
Cowherd was nominated for
governor, it would make us

1t is now being bruited about
that Hon. w. S. Cowherd is the
candidate of some machine,
says the Columbia Tribune. If

his integrity and his unimpeach-

FORTUNE FOR OWNERS
OF STEAMER RICkMERS

Savannah News.

A very comfortable fortune awaits
the German steamship, Elizabeth
Rickmers, that rescued the steamship
Ponce, that broke her shaft on her
trip from Porto Rico to New York,
and tOWed her to Bermuda. Some
people have remarked that it was very
good of the German steamship to turn
aside from her course-she was bound
from New York to Japan-and assist
the disabled Ponce to a place OF
safety. The Rickmers, however,
wasn't acting out of charity or pure
friendship, though, of course, if she
didn't expect to get a cent she would
have lent the disabled steamer assist
ance. The rules of the sea as Wen DIS
the calls of humanity would nave le'
uuired her to do that.
1t is estimated that the value OF the
Ponce was close to s225,OOO, and OF
her cargo about S175,00O- Unless the
owners of the German steamer and
the owners of the Ponce come to
some agreement as to salvage the
matter will be carried to the courts
II is pretty we'll known what the
courts would allow It would be, IN
all probability. fully 50 per cent OF
the value of the ship and cargo. That
would give the German steamer
$500. 900. She could well afford TO
turn out of her course for few days
for such a sum as that Indeed, she
could have afforded to give up her
trip to japan
Every effort will be made by the
owners of the Ponce to keep the mat
ter out of the courts because the cost
of litigation and the allowances would
be considers bly, more, perhaps, than
the owners of the German steamer
would be willing to accept. If paid at
once. The owners of the Ponce may
hesitate to settle if as much as $780,
600 is demanded, but. as matter or
fact, wouldn't the Ponce have been a
total loss, in all probability, if she
hadn't been picked UP by the Eliza
beth Reckmers, or If by some other
steamer, the salvage wouldn't have
been any less OF course, if the tugs
sent out by the owners of the Ponce
had found the vessel the cost to them
would have been much less Unfor-
tunately for the owners their tugs
didn't find the disabled steamer.
1t seems that this isn't the first
time the Ponce has drifted about in
the sea helpless On her very first
voyage she broke her propeller and
was saved by Dutch steamer that
brought her into this port That was
several years ago. II was pretty gen
orally forgotten doubtless when search
was being made for her recently that
she had once been a disabled visitor
in Savannah's harbor.

Wireless Reports
Regarding the Ponce,

Inc Tampa Times OF Saturday con-
tanned the following paragraph relat-
ing to the stories sent out about the
over due steamer Ponce:
All those thrilling stories about flu
gitive wireless messages having been
caught from the overdue steamer
Ponce were dampened by the official
announcement that the Ponce did not
carry a wireless equipment. Let il
sink deeply into your mind that if you
undertake to lie you first examine the
premises and see that you are not i'm
mediately contradicted and exposed
out of your own mouth. No ignorant
man can be a successful liar.
Inasmuch as The Journal was one
of the papers to print the story of the
rescue of the Ponce, the main part OF
the material for this story being Sc
cured from the wireless station at the
navy yard in Pensacola, we want 10
call the attention of the Times to the
story that The Journal sent out to its
readers. We did not state that the
Ponce had wireless instrument on
board. nor did We print any messages
received from that ship, The Journal
did print a message passing from Key
West to the battleship Connecticut,
and which was caught by the wireless
station in Pensacola. to the effect that
the Ponce had arrived safely at Ber-
muda.
We failed TO note the stories about
the wireless messages from the Ponce
in any of sour exchanges, but We do
not doubt that the Times man saw
them somewhere What We want to
do is TO call the Times mans attention
to the fact that The Journal printed
wireless story about the ship, and

The Message of
Governor Conner.

| The message OF Governor BraXIOn
Bragg Conner to the legislature OF
Alabama is a strong and fOrceful docu-
ment, and will go down in history as
one of the ablest state papers of that
proud commonwealth. 1t is demo-
cratic to the core, and careful pc
| rusal of it will prove INTERESTING 10
the members of the approaching legis-
lature in Florida. 1t contains maIiy
suggestions that are of the utmost i'm
portance, which if enacted into law
by the Alabama legislature now ii
session, will be far reaching in their
benefits upon the state.
The first question dealt with by
the governor is the allimportant rail-
road question, and he handles it in a
mastery manner. His conclusion
reached is that the railroad commits
sion of Alabama should be given
plenary power, and adequate means to
carry out these powers. He asks
the legislature for law to en-
able the state to determine how
much of railroad stock is real
and how much is water. He
advocates the enactment of the maxi
mum freight rates, with power in the
railroad commission to reduce these.
and favors 2 IL cent passenger fare.
In regard to the enforcement of law

nicalities of the law, insofar as proper
execution of justice demands, making
Of our courts such prompt and COM
plete administrators of the law and
justice that even those who suffer
/ from the most heinous offenses will
be willing to trust to this great pro-
tec,ive design of civilization and elm
mate disposition to again violate the
law by taking the execution of the
law into their own hands"
Other important recommendations
of the message include a state board
of equalization of taxes, child labor
bill, with compulsory education as a
feature Of it, general primary election
law, state insurance provisions for
life policies, local option. and aboIi-
ton of bucket shops.
The message of Governor Conner is
indeed a most remarkable one, and
The Journal will discuss. N the near
future, those sections of the message
which apply directly to similar con-
ditions of affairs in Florida, such
as the railroad commission, child la
! Dor, and taxation laws.

resentatives by employing all the
tricks and lies in their repertoire.
The object of the bill was clearly a
dirty attempt to injure the ports of
the Southern states, and the pilots
operating in them.
The Tribune notes with great pride
that Florida's splendid representative,
Sparkman, was the leader of the op-
position to the three political cut
Threats, and it was through his elo-
quence and unimpedchable logic, as
sisted by Clark, Lamar and the south
ern Democrats, that they received the
severe drubbing they deserved. This
is but one more instance of what a
potent factor Florida's representative
is in both houses of the federal legis-
lature, and that real strength and ca
pacity for performance rest more on
quality than they do on quantity

We are sorry to see such bright
and interesting paper as the Miami
Metropolis join that class OF papers
which take a delight in publishing 10
the world the fact that in Florida a
criminal is exempt from justice, or
words to that effect. The following
clipping is taken from the Miami
paper, but if We had seen it somewhere
without a credit We never would have
located its author:
The Governor of Alabama in his
message to the legislature declared
that il is almost impossible to con-
Wet and hang a white man in that
state. According 10 reports and sta
tistics the same conditions exist in
many other states. Florida included,
and We believe We can go Alabama
one better and not make mistake
by declaring that it is next to impos-
sible TO hang any man in this state
We have plenty of law but between
the courts, governor and pardoniug
board. IL is robbed of all justice.
