The Mobile Register has never been
friendly either to Mr.. Bryan or to his
theory Of democracy and for that rea,
son it's rebuke to the New York World
in the following expressive language is
all the more significant:
As the opportunity for Democratic
success is much greater this year than
1t was 1904, the New York World is
pursuing an extraordinary course in
attempting to disrupt the party. When
Mr.. Roosevelt had the country at his
beck four years ago, the advocacy of
. udge Parkeris claim upon Democracy
by the World, in the full knowledge
that Judge Parker would not be elect
ed, could be understood as q friendly
effort for "favorite SON." Said "fa-
vorite son" was the poorest vote-get-
ter ever nominated by a Democratic
convention, but, like the freesilver
craze. that is in the past and not to
be held against New York or the
World. If the Worlds principle of
recalling mistakes were to be followed.
the nomination Of the candidate it
advocated in 1904 might be pointed to
as the greatest mistake made by the
Democratic party in a generation.

A Florida Editor
Goes Wrong.

That genial but forceful kicker. the
editor of the Punta Gorda Herald
can always find handy theme In the
shortcomings OF the Florida pardon
ing board. In his last Issue, seeing
no recent sins on the part Of that
body to call for a lambasting, he
went for it because of what il
might have done in the case of a
white man, lynched last week for
murder at Newberry. in the event
he had been tried and convicted.
This seems to US a little unfair, but
waving that, We desire to sternly
call down our Punta Gorda brother
because Of the following language in
his paper concerning the Newberry
mob:
They should not have hung him,
unless positively assured of his guilt.
If they knew him to be guilty, they
did right, for there is no longer any
use in trying to have mUrderers in
this state hung ''by due process of
law" The pardoning board won't
permit 1t.

wherever 1t is read.
The best sentiment of the south is
and must be arrayed against lynch
ing, for it is simply an issue between
law and lawlessness in a civilized
land where all the machinery of JUS

that machinery fails in efficiency. to

possible to hang Wanderers in Florida

ces during the past year. and the
indications are that II the mob can
be restrained we can count more and
more upon healthy public sentiment
to enforce the law through the

growing in Florida. but it can be Sc
riously retarded by such expressions
as we have quoted from the Punta

The Worlds MAP
Is Not Fair Politics.

We are learning to think more OF
the Mobile Register every day. We
do not always agree with our Mobile
contemporary, but on whatever other
grounds we may differ, We have al
ways found the Register an eminently
fair, temperate and honest newspaper.
These remarks are impelled by our
contemporaries comment on the New

of Organism" The Register says:
Mr.. Bryan has struck ba-k at the
New York World pamphlet designed TO
bolster the assertion that the demo
cratic party has lost heavily since the
gentleman from Nebraska assumed
the leadership. The World contnaSted
conditions In 1892, when Cleveland
carried the country. with conditions at
the present time in which the New
York newspaper leaves only a portion
Of the south to the party Mr. Bryan
replies: eff the World wants to be
fair, why doesn't II publish a map of
the country showing the party vote
IN 1894 and another map showing the
vote in 1904, and thus inform the pub
lie that the party Jared better in 1895
and 1900 than in either the congress
&tO1al campaign D0PvIe T<1di UT III the
presidential campaign after I ran. .
The point made by Mr.. Bryan Is a
good one, and should be kept in mind
by the public. In 1894 Cleveland was
I'm the white house and had both
branches of congress with him, being
the first time In thirty-five years that
the democratic party had full control
of the government. In 1894 the repub-
iicans turned the tables entirely. and
this was two years before Mr.. Bryan
came into prominence as a national
leader 1t is manifest that he cannot
be held responsible for that defeat As

the party in 1904 and Mr.. Bryan OPP
