Fee System
Is Generally Condemned.

The following from two of our state
contemporaries is interesting, taken In
connection with what The Journal has
frequently said on the same subject:
Representative Matthews, of Marion
county, has introduced a bill in the
legislature to abolish the office of
county treasurer. Nothing can be
gained by abolishing this office, and
We hope it will not receive favorable
consideration by the legislature If
the ofhce should be abolished the work
now done by that Official must be done
by some other county official. and paid
Tor just as at present. County ex-
penses would not be reduced, and it is
likely they would be increased. Leave
this matter alone, gentlemen. and give
your time 10 matters of Importance de-
handing your attention.-Live Oak
Democrat
The Democrat is right, so far as it
goes The proposition TO go through
the tedious and unpopular process of
altering the constitution and effect
nothing of service thereby. is out of
the question. Our thoughtful contem-
porary should have gone further in the
matter and endorsed the position
taken by the Tribune, which is that all
county officers should be paid salaries,
and the people be relieved from the
over-taxation that is made necessary
In order that these officers may pocket
ices largely in excess of the value of
the work they do.-Tampa Tribune.
We have not, however, noted that
the present legislature has done any,
thing toward putting county officers
on a salary basis

ESTES KILLING
PLAIN MURDER

DanVlIIe, va, Apr. 2I.-In a state-
ment given out by John II. Shipman in
behalf of the relatives of Theodore
Estes, killed Monday by former Judge
Loving, Shipman says that previous ac-
counts are untrue and misleading. He
denies that Estes drUgged and assault

as cold blOOded, heaTtless murder

Emasculating
The Primary Law.

The following from the Tampa News
has our hearty endorsements:
OF what use, may We ask, is an Aus,
tralian ballot law. when the legislature
subscribes to the foolish provision that
inspectors are to be allowed to mark
ballots for voters?
Such provision Is contained in the
new primary election law, which has
been under consideration at TaIIahas.
see. A strong effort made bv ReDre-
sentative Reese to defeat this prOyi.
sion was voted down. 1t is stated that
1t will remain in the bill IF so. we
can begin to see the finish of the prim.
airy election law in Florida.
This amendment is evidently an at
tempt to cripple the primary law IN
such an extent that it will gradually
become of no effect.
IT inspectors are allowed to mari,
ballots to suit themselves, what assur-
ance will We have of an honest cleo
ton?
The provision should be killed bv
the legislature.
II is dangerous move.
when you emasculate the urinary
law. you strike a blow at honest cleo
tons
The legislation under notice smacks
OF our old friends, the peanut poli-
ucians, who were considerably unset
by the primary law.

And Mr.. T. A. Jennings says that if
he becomes a candidate for governor
he will run as the peoples candidate. -
That saying is becoming thread worn
and awful trite. Only the people vote
and 1t would De the height of folly for
any man aspiring to this Office to say
that he would run in opposition 10 the
people. The people voted for Broward
because he mapped out and put for
ward definite platform. He told
exactly what lie was for and what he
was against.-Ocala Banner.
But the Banner was not one of Brow

from the White Springs Herald:
The present editor OF the Herald is

vocate of uniform text books for Flor
Ida There Is no common sense, rea.

and IT frequently works a hardship
upon many of our citizens, which
would be averted had We a uniform
system throughout the state. The
legislature now in session could do no
better work than to pass a law COM
pelling all the counties to use the
same school books. OF course the
book companies and some of their Tit
tie hirelings' will oppose the law. but
the people-the tax payers and book
buyers-are nine tenths in favor of A

MY MOTHERS HANDS.

MY MOTHERS HANDS.
Such beautiful, beautiful hands
They're neither white nor small;
And you, l know, would scarcely
think
That they were fair at all.
I've looked on hands whose form and
hue
A scuIptors dream might be;
Yet are those wrinkled, aged hands
Most beautiful to me.
Such beautiful, beautiful hands,
Though heart were weary and sad
These patient hands kept toiling on,
That the children might be glad;
l always weep, as looking back
To childhood's distant day,
| think how those hands rested not,
When mine were at their play
Such beautiful, beautiful hands
They're growing feeble now,
For time and pain have left their
mark
On hands, and heart, and brow.
Alas! alasi the nearing time,
And the sad, sad day to me,
When meath the daisies, out of sight,
These hands will folded be.
But oh. beyond this shadow land,
Where all is bright and fair.
l know full well those dear old hands
viii palms of victory bear;
Where crystal streams through end
less years
Flow over golden sands,
And where the old grow young again,
I'll clasp my mothers hands
