The Tallahassee True Democrat is
very much worried because Governor
Broward will not furnish for publica-
ton an itemized statement of the
funds received by him for the carry
ing on of the drainage campaign. The
Journal last week attempted TO show
where this was a personal, and not a
state matter, but the True Democrat
man can't see it that way. In a
column editorial he comes back at
The Journal and makes more charges
against the governor and his wrong
doing.

The judiciary committee of the
lower house of congress has declared
that Congress has no jurisdiction
over the subject of women and child
labor. and has no authority to suppress
any abuses of such labor or anchor
ate conditions surrounding the employ
ment of such laborers." This is good
sound doctrine, but comes with a lit
tie surprise from a committee, the
majority of whom are republicans.
The states have the right TO protect
these children, and it is a matter that
IS properly left to them Georgia has
taken up the matter and passed a
very satisfactory law on the subject
OF child labor, and if the conditions
in Florida warrant the passage of a
similar measure the approaching legis-
lature can attend 10 it.

IT HE United States government is to establish immediately in this city criminal identification bureau. or what may be called an "Habitual Criminal Registry" for keeping the records of all men convicted of crimes against the federal laws, and also all indicted by grand juries of the United States courts. The bureau is to be under the supervision of the depart ment of justice, and all prisons in the United States where government pris- oners are, or have been confined, have been directed to send their records, consisting of photographs, Bertillon measurement cards and finger-print identification sheets immediately to the department of justice.
 A central bureau for the identifica- tion of federal law-breakers has been urged for some time by criminologists Heretofore each prison in the United States has kept it's own records, and federal law-breaker could serve term in one prison and be freed without the fact ever becoming known that he had served a previous term for a similar
