In beginning his description of the
various landmarks of American lib

fore the discovery of America. be-
cause. he said, American liberty was
cradled in the German wilderness.
Anglo-Saxon freedom had come down
through the centuries to the popular
assemblies which decide the issues
of peace in the American government
today. He said that the great fact
which stands out sharply and clearly
throughout the history of European
immigration to America Is domi-
nant and universal aspiration for
freedom.
Governor Johnson declared that
the program of the republic is op-
posed by two dangers. One is tend

Capitalization of power and the as
sumption of sovereign powers not del
egated to II by the constitution and
belonging to the state and to the
people. The other is the power of
centralized and predatory wealth. fos-

fant of both the public welfare and
the law of the land.
The inherent powers of this re-
public. he said, should not be dele
gated TO the federal government, but
should reside in the state and the
people. They are the original sourc-

administration maintains the doc

government. Today the government

Memorial Day
Observation
GENERAL IN DISTRICT
LARGE ATTENDANCE AT
CEMETERY ROCKHILL
AND LOCKHART SPEAK.

In spite of the extremely bad
weather prevailing through the
greater portion OF yesterday, obsery-
ance of Memorial day was general.
A crowd of several hundred people
gathered at the cemetery to take part
in the exercises of the day and to
decorate the graves OF loved ones.
The services were extremely Impress
i've.
The parade, which moved from up
per Aultman street to the cemetery,
commenced forming about $3.50 but
through misunderstanding as TO
the appointment of the grand mar
shal of the day was kept waiting for
more than As minutes. Leaving ely
the parade wended its way to the
ceretery. where it arrived shortly be-
fore IL o'clock.
Upon arriving at the cemetery the
veterans of the civil and Spanish
American wars stood at attention as
the rest of the procession hled
through their ranks to the strains of
the funeral march. From a platform
placed near the gate ror the singers
and speakers of the day, Mayor F. M.

invocation and George Amman sang

made an able address. paying high
tribute to the nature of the day and
to the patriotic feeling which moved
the large gathering to assemble. In
speaking of the soldiers who had
with patriotic spirit unrivaled in his
tory fought and died for their coun-
try, Mr.. Lockhart drew the parallel
between life of the military and civil
ian and the lesson of everyday pa
triotism, striving for good govern
ment and on the part of the officials

He abjured his every auditor to aim
at this end in the daily walks of
life. The address was both able and
stirring.
America" as sung by Mrs. F. F.
Nevin to the accompaniment of the
band, was very stirring.
Thomas Roekhill, marshal of the
day and the sole survivor of the Mex
lean war living in Nevada, was the
next speaker. His subject was What
Comprises the Qualifications OF
Model Soldier" This he treated in
an able manner and in strident tones
told of the ideals of his boyhood and
today He was heartily applauded.
Benediction was pronounced by
Rev. G. C. Hunting and was followed
by salute of three volleys fired by
squad under command of l.. M.
Barnes. Decoration of graves was

the crowd taking part In the work.
The line of march as held on the way
to the cemetery was reformed and
in that order the gathering moved
back to Ely In driving rain which
he'd commenced to fall. The only
thing which marred the perfection of
the plans for the day was the execra-
bile weather. Otherwise everything
went smoothly and in a manner cal
culated to arouse pardonable pride.

An Issue Come to
STAY Until Settled Right.

The security o: depositors' money
in banks by some such plan as that
demanded by the democratic platform
is an issue that has come to stay in
American politics until it is settled
right The only wonder is that it has
been so long in getting here
There should be progress in banking
matters as in all things else under
the sun and il is clearly in the line
of that progress to give legal and full
security to the man who puts his
money in bank. A contemporary pre-
sents it in this plain way:
IL you go to the bank and ask to
use its money. it requires OF you a
gilt-edged guarantee against its loss;
but if it takes your money to use in
its business, II gives you absolutely
no security against your loss. Is
there any other business on earth in
which you would make such a one
sided bargain? The Democratic prop
osttion is that the bank shall give you
AN even deal-the same security for
your funds as it exacts for its own

all matters connected with the func-
tions of their office. When our pres
emit judicial circuits were established
many years ago they fully met exist
ing conditions, but since then Florida
has grown immensely in population
and property interests, and the old
circuits are no longer sufficient in
number TO meet the increased de-
mands upon them. AS a result the
courts are clogged, the judges are I'M
able to keep up with the business. and
the speedy administration of Justice
guaranteed by the constitution is
practically denied. There is but one
remedy and that is to increase the
number of circuits or at least to leave
it to the discretion of the legislature
after full information on the subject.
That is what the amendment provides
for, and there would seem to be no
room for difference of opinion on the
subject among thoughtful voters who
look at all the facts in the case. And
this is true also of the provision to
give the state railroad commission iu-
dicial power SO that its mandates may
be respected and enforced.

while primarily in church circles, has

BY John Snure, in Philadelphia Times
1t is the feeling of the republican
leaders here that both New York and
Indiana are less doubtful than Ohio.
They believe that Taft's chances of
carrying New York are improving and
that, while the state is generally look
ed on as close, Judge Taft is going
to get it.
A month ago the trend in Indiana
was so strongly for Bryan that the Re-
publican leaders were much discOur-
aged about it. Recently, however, the
situation has shown some signs of
getting better for the republicans. One
of the ablest republican politicians
of Indiana, man who knows the state
thoroughly, has been here this week
and has given headquarters reassur-
ance.
He believes, as he has told friends
here cOnfidentially, that Taft's chances
are now better than Bryan's for carry.

chances at about ten to eight in Taft s

The Old
Remedy Holds Good.

The Montgomery Journal, dealing
with the subject In a large and philo-
sophie way, says that the remedy for
the night rider evil is beyond state
authority or state legislation Its sup
preston by state law and courts is
impossible" The Journal then argues
that class legislation and the unwar-
ranted license given to corporations
and trusts by the republican party is
really the root of the evil because of
the widespread contempt for law en-
gendered by such fragrant govern
mental favoritism.
This is all right in an academic dis
cnssion of the subject and as an i'm.

and make an end of republican preda-
tory policies. but twill not strike
the man whose gin has been burned
nor the relatives and friends of the
man who has been murdered by dis
guised rufians, as a means of practi-
cal relief. 1t is a menacing present
condition of fragrant violation of the
laws of person and property which
confronts the victims of the night-rid-
ers, and they can no more wait on
tne remedy suggested by our Mont
gomery contemporary than can a COM

to Mr.. Guion Miller.

A representative of Mr. Guion Mill
er, special commissioner of the Unit
ed States court of claims, calls. the
Journals attention to a letter from
joan ID. Beck. Cantonment, Fla, pub
lishei in these columns, Oct. Is.
which Mr.. Miller thinks contains a
reflection upon aim.
With the facts in the case to which
Mr.. Beck refers in his letter, The
Journal is entirely unfamiliar, but it
takes this occasion to say that no re-
Election upon Mr.. Miller was intended
on its part and that the columns of
the paper are open to MIN for any
statement of fact bearing upon the
case that he may desire to make.
The Journal never knowingly
makes a personal reflection upon any
one or permits it to be done through
it's columns, and it is always ready to
publish complete reparation when
such reflection has been made.

What the Democratic managers here
would like to know is whether Mr.
Bryan is going to get the Catholic
vote, or about an equal share of it
with Mr.. Taft. 1t is admitted quietly
that this is one of the big problems
Of the campaign, and that it is hard
one to get information about. Every
body knows that four years ago Presi
dent Roosevelt got the bulk of the
Catholic vote. II as much of that vote
should go against Bryan as went

are not saying they are going to lose

do say is that they do not know what

The journal publishes this morning
a noteworthy article on 1.-The Pardon
ing of Criminals, by Daniel A Sim
mons, private secretary to Governor
Broward and also secretary to the
Par1oning Board. and it deserves and
will receive wide reading. The Flor
ida Pardoning Board has been for
years the object of strong and persist
ent attack by a large proportion OF
the state press and many individuals
because of the alleged abuse of the
pardoning power and the exercise of
a clemency to convicts that was an
encouragement to crime. Mr.. Sim
mons treats the subject exhaustVely
and in admirable temper and those
who read his article in a fair spirit
will probably have little disposition to
sympathize with reckless criticism of
the Pardoning Board His article lets
in a flood of light upon the situation
and tells with clearness and force of
the tremendous difficulties under
which the board is honestly seeking
to do its full duty without fear or
favor. The suggestion of Mr.. Sim
mons for the appointment of par
don attorney to assist the board and
his argument TO sustain his sugges-
tons is worthy of careful perusal by
every citizen of Florida. His iuli
views on this important question of
the pardoning of convicts is the best
contribution to the subject we have
seen from any source, and a thorough
discussion of them by the Florida
press and citizens interested will help
to. clarity many-sided problem but
little understood and upon which we
should have some decisive legislation
as soon as possible. The Journal
hopes to discuss this subject at length
later on.
