Would The News
Limit Free Speech?

The Monticello News says the state
democratic executive committee
ought to +cut OUT the campaign ora
tory of the candidates, and instead
declare for picnics, hand shaking, etc.
The committee might arrange these
kind of meetings for the nominees af-
ter the primaries have been held and
the candidates are, in a sense, under
the direction of the committee, but
how it can dictate TO the candidates
before the primaries is hard to see.
1t would take more than an order from
the executive committee to stop them
from making political speeches. No
Jne would think of attending a picnic
unless he were allowed to get off his
speech, and why should we want to
stop him, anyway?
The candidate ought to get some
assured satisfaction for the money it
costs him to run, and this is the only
satisfaction that many of them ever
get out of a campaign. They doubt
less enjoy hearing themselves speak
more than the audiences before whom
they speak, but it is entirely optional
with the citizen whether he attends
the speaking or not.
Looking at the matter in a serious
light, it is very necessary that there
be political meetings where Oratory,
or attempts at Oratory, are INDUCED
in, because only in his way can a
candidate reach great many of the
voters. A candidate for state Office
has not the time to meet ali the
people personally, but by attending
these meetings in the various coun-
ties he can talk to vastly more people
than he could by attending picnics
The state committee might arrange
an itinerary for the candidates so
that they could all speak at least once
in each county of the state They
can be divided into two parties, as
they were in 1904, the candidates for
United States senator congressman
and governor forming one party, and
those for the other state Offices form
ing the other. The executive COM
mittee would confer a favor on both
the candidates and the people by ar
ranging such an iteneEary.

The people Of Monticello are up
in arms against the proposition to
levy a direct tax for the building of
their new court house. Inasmuch as
the building will be used by gener-
ations yet to come, it seems only
reasonable that. they should bear their
proportion of the burden. 1t is true
the direct tax reduces the ultimate
cost. but it exempts from the pay

being white and fifteen colored.
Judge Wolfe not only dispatches
business, but he deals with the Grim
inal in way that is calculated to
lessen crime, and especially is this
true with parties convicted of violat-
ing the local option laws of the coun-
ty; at this term there were eight
cases of this kind tried and disposed
of, four white and four colored; sew
en- were convicted and only one, an
old man named Laundrum from near
Cypress, was acquitted. when it came
time to pass sentence upon these
local option vioiators, the court i'm
posed sentences of from three to
eight months at hard labor, and de-
clined to allow any fine in lieu Of the
sentences

imes-Union on Tax Rate.

We do not see how the people are
going to stand the present rate of
taxation, which is increasing every
year. One cause of the increase is
the constantly increasing state con-
troll of county affairs, which should
be left to the county. Every addition
to state control calls for additional
state officers to make it effective. And
state officers come high Examine the
pay roll at Tallahassee, and see what
the transference of local self-govern-
ment to state control costs in dollars
and cents. Would it not be better

er taxation.-Brooksvil Argus.

fairs yet pursuing that policy in its
