est, by this corporation or that corpo-
ration, and, therefore, the editorial de-
partment has very little real independ-
ence. The editor is eternally watching
the countenance Of the business mana
ger for smiles of approval or frowns Of
Condemnation If the editor writes ar
ticleswhich injure the business depart
ment, restraints of one sort or another
will soon cause him TO change his Tone.
No weekly editor is under any such i'm
timation. If he is coerced it Is his own
fault. 1t is within his power to speak
what he honestly thinks is the truth and
thus to gain and hold that powerful in
fuence which comes to the man whom
the people believe to be sincere in all
that he says and does.
The weekly paper Is is the hope Of the
country. If every editor of the coun-
try press would but realize what would
be the irresistible power Of a combined
propaganda, harmonious editorial
preachment through the weekly press,
there would be a ground swell in Ameri-
ca that would reduce the metropolitan
dailies to Impotence and the triumph
of the common people would be assur-

TIE WEEKLY NEWSPAPERS.
The PeMhSbOrO News Gives ThOS. E.
WatSOn's News on Them.

It has always seemed to me that the
editor Of a weekly paper might make
Of himself and his paper most impor-
tant factor in the mOldlng of public
opinion and the shaping of public poll
cies. There are many advantages i'm
cident to his position. He is in touch
with the plain, common people. He
hears what is said on the streets, at the
town meeting, in the court house, in
the market place; he is, familiar with
every detail in the life Of the average
man his newspaper records the hap
penings in the family of the Browns
and Smiths, among whom he lives. If
he conducts his paper intelligently and
sympathetically almost everybody in
his community subscribes to it. People
who live in one part of the county want
to keep posted as to what is going on in
other portions of the county. If the
news service is at all what it should be,
the citizen looks TO his county paper as
a record of current local events. To
those who may have removed from the
country and gone into distant localities
for duty or pleasure, the home paper is
indispensable. It is a weekly news let
ter, giving an account of the doings
and sayings of the loved ones who have
been left behind.
Besides this, the weekly paper has
within itself other elements of influ-
ence and importance. In local politics
its weight should be felt, and usually
is felt. Therefore. the editor, If liye
man, is a locally important man. If the
weekly paper is honest, fearless, con-
scientious and interested in the peo-
pie to whom it's weekly message IS de-
iivered, il becomes a barometer which
politicians carefully consider before
taking any steps on any public matter.
1t may be too often the case that week
w papers follow after the great city
papers and thus become mere echoes.
Just the reverse should be the case.
No weekly newspaper should become a
mere sounding board for city editors
The Importance and usefulness Of the
weekly paper is in exact ratio to its
fearless and intelligent independence.
Indeed, a weekly paper is much bet
ter situated 20 speak and act intelh-
gently than the greater number Of the
metropolitan papers. Nearly every one
of the latter is subsidized, directly or
indirectly, by this interest or that inter-

Tells the Grsa, DiRersncs.

The writer has been asked quite a
number of times if Ex-Governor Jen.
nings and T. A. Jennings were not one
and the same man. On other occasions
we have been asked if they were not re-
lated.
No, they are not a particle of kin.
Furthermore, they do not look nor act
alike. The difference between the two
men is too great to be mentioned in de-
tail. But some of their differences
might be mentioned that will explain to
the readers mind who the two men
are.
Ex-Governor jennings was born in
Illinois. He is a first cousin of w. j.
Bryan, and to this relationship Is large
" due his election to Governor of FlOri-
da. His full name is William Sherman
Jennings. He was elected Governor by
q political convention, and could never
have been elected under the primary
system. 1t is claimed that he came to
Florida selling Hamlin's Wizard Oil
from the rear of a wagon. There are
a lot of people in Florida who don't
like the man nor his surname, nor his
middle name Sherman.
The other Jennings--whO is spoken
Of as a candidate for Governor was
born in Hamilton county, Florida. We
The weekly true Democrat. (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1905-1912, 1907-05-24

don't know who he is first cousin to,
but he is the son of Confederate vet
eran and a Southern gentleman. His
full name Is Thomas Albert jennings.
If he is elected Governor, it will be by
the primary system, and we think that
he possesses enough dignity to refrain
from engaging in a fist fight with a
University president.
The aforementioned Jennings is not
popular, by any means. The last
mentioned Jennings Thomas Albert
is very popular with every citizen with
whom he is acquainted.
The only objections some people find
with the last mentioned Jennings
Thomas Albert-is that his surname Is
the same as the former Governors.
People are apt to get the two people
confused by theirnames. After you be-
come acquainted with both parties there
will never be any reason for confusion
of their names. Fort Myers Breeze.

A Very Sad Death.

On last Friday morning, after a lin.
gerlng illness of several months dura.
ton, Mrs. Lake, wife of Captain Geo.
b. Lake, died at her home at North
Tazewell- Her death was caused by an
injury received by falling from a side
walk at North Tazewell in the night
time when she was returning from
church to her home. She was so severe
ly injured by the fall that she was con-
lined to her bed until death came to re-
lleve her of her sufferings. Those who
knew Mrs. Lake well speak of her as a
most estimable Christian lady. She
Is survived by her husband, two daugh-
ters and three sons, one of whom, Rev.
John Lake, is a missionary in China.
The remains were taken to South Caro-.
INA. the former home of the deceased,

The jury in the famous Loving muir

Mr.. Wood Bouldin, Commonwealth 3 at

the State. All three attorneys for the
defense attacked Mr.. Daniel Harmon

SALVATION ARMY PLANS.

Boston, Mass, June 29.-The Saliva
ton Army of Boston has announced g
novel feature of its work. Nature e,S.
cursions for the study of bird life, bot
any and geology are to be given to the
young working people during the sum-
mer months.
A competent corps of lecturers and
guides will conduct the students who
wish to study scientifically or otherwise
the beauties of nature, through natural
park places in the vicinity of the city.
Among those who will assist in the work
are: DR.. Ellsworth Huntington, who il
a fellow in the royal geographical society
and a member of the Yale faculty, and
Mrs. Observation-Disclosures, president of
the Western-School for Girls. The idea
is not to establish summer school in
the generally accepted sense of the term
but stimulate the ambition of young
working people and to give them an op-
portunity to realize what an education
would mean TO them

of the courtroom sat the mother of the
dead man, his two sisters and two
brothers.
The court room was packed almost to
suffocation, and the most intense inter
est has been manifested by every one
who has followed the testimony in the
case 1t was the opinion of nearly every
one that there would be no conviction in
the case, but that the verdict would be
not guilty or that there would be a hung
jury.
Judge Loving received the verdict
quite calmly. Tha jury was out fifty
five minutes, and when the verdict was
announced Judge Loving turned quietly
and kissed his wife. They thanked the
jury together, and were later received
by their daughter with tears of Joy.

THE STRIKE is OVER.
Mayor Mcclellan Promises to Take Up
Case Of the Strikers.

Ease OF Tue strikers.
New York, July 1.-The strike of the
city garbarge collectors is over, and the
fears of serious epidemic as the result
of the conditions which have existed for
the past week are at rest.
A committee representing the strik-
ing drivers conferred with Mayor Nc
Clellan today. He promised that if thew
would return to work he would take up
their grievances. Later the committee
announced that they had decided to send
all the men back to work, trusting to
the mayors promise.
Several of the drivers were badly
beaten by strike sympathizers before
they could be rescued by the police.
On the east side street conditions to-
night are almost unbearable. The re-
turn of hot weather has added to the
seriousness of the situation. In places
the heaps of garbage practically fill the
streets, and traffic is interfered with.
Attempts to dispose of the accumula-
lions by burning have been largely I'M
successful.

Railroad Presidents Supposed
to Be in Conference
Over 2-Cent Rates.

New York, Sept. 4.-The presence here
OF an unusually large number of railroad
presidents from all over the country gave
rise TO reports in the financial district to-
day that conference of the executive
heads of v1ricus railroads was being held
TO discuss the 2-cent rate proposition and
other questions affecting railroads now
under public consideration These reports
were denied by railroad officials. who
stated that large number of board meet
ings were scheduled to be held at this
time and that the presidents of ttS road
were here to attend the meetings. 1t is
most likely, however, that the heads of
the railroads in their informal meetings
Will discuss the question of railroad leg
lslation and the monetary situation, which
has to some extent lessened new railroad
building and improvements. 1t was stated
at the office of J. p. Morgan & Co. this
afternoon that no formal conference of
railroad presidents has been called. Some
of the railroad presidents who are here
today are: A. B. Stickney of the Chicago
& Northwestern; Edward p. Ripley of the
AtchisOn, Topeka 81 Santa Fe; James T.
Harahan of the Illinois Central. and James
]. Hill of the Great Northern.
