Major +. c. Weeks, an aged and re-
spected citizen of this city, died last
night at his home on McCarty street
He had been in public life as an official
for many years, and while most of our
citizens always differed with him in
politics, he always conducted himself in
such a manner as to command the re-
spect and confidence of his people. and
leaves many friends who are grieved ct
his taking away, and who extend the
deepest sympathy to his wife and fam
lily. The funeral will be from the resi-
dence at 10 o'clock tomorrow. News Of
his death come just as we are about
ready to go to press, and prevents .
more extended notice, but we will pub
lish more of him next week.

Says the Ocaia Banner: .'If We were
: candidate for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation We would come out IN a ringing
platform for the freedom Of the press ;
We would stand with Thomas Jefferson
in prOclaiming the press must be un-
trammeIled. That wise and sagaeious
statesman said that free press formed
the key to the arch in the structure of
our government. Other statesmen in
other governments have said that the
freedom given to the press of the Uni
ted States differentiated it from all
other governments in the world. A
censored press means a government
like that of Russia, where the citizens
speak only by the pleasure of the Car.
1t means despotism. If we were a
candidate for the gubernatorial nOmina-
ton we would stand upon the rock that
every officer in a democratic govern
ment is a servant of the people and is
subject to criticism. We would pro-
claim that the official who favored the
censorship of the press to escape criti-
cism has no business holding a public
office If public official is honest and
performs his duty fearlessly and con-
scientiously, the people will soon dis
cover it, and unjust criticism of his ac-
tons will IN the end endure to his credit
and popularity. The freedom of the
speech and the freedom of the press
Justly rank as our richest inheritance,
and cannot be too sedulously guarded
Mr.. Jefferson said that he had rather
have government without soldiers
than without newspapers but cen
sored press is worse than no press at
all. 1t is well for the safety of the re-
public that the Pennypackers have been
so few. Whatever else we do in our
madness and folly, don't let us muzzle
the press. If any editor so far forgets
his high prerogative as to make a Ii
cense of the liberty accorded him, it
will be discovered, and his license will
be his ruin. Those who abuse it, free
dom will soon find their level Let the
press alone An untrammelled press
more than anything else reflects the
strength and glory of our institutions.
A free press has made our country
great-muzzle it and it will be our un-
doing
Well put and to the point, and the
True Democrat endorses it, We have
seen fit to criticse many things public
for some time. have been honest and
consci entious in it, and now have no
apologies to offer for it. 1t is high
time that all schemers should be kept
from public office, that there will be
nothing left for the press to criticise
Let Floridians put men in Office in Flor
ida again who will be above scheming
for political machinery. We have had
such good officials in the past, and we
can elect such again.
