Of terrible abuses owe 1t to the
State to furnish the evidence; and
If they will do so, we feel sure
that the State officials will admin
lister a prompt remedy.
The convicts are under the di-
rect supervision of the State
through a system Of frequent in
spection by well-paid and vigilant
representatives, whose sole busi-
ness is to visit the camps at least
once a month, oftener II possible,
and make detailed reports of their
condition and the treatment given
the prisoners. 1t is surprising
that these paid and capable in
spectors are not as expert as the
editors in discovering abuses.
Finally, we insist that the char
acter of the convicts be consld-
cred. With very few exceptions,
they are types of the extremely
vicious and unruly element of
our population, and it must be a
difficult problem to control and
manage them and to get them' to
do satisfactory work. The reck-
less humanitarians, of whom the
Breeze editor is an example,
might learn something to their
advantage, il they would only un-
dertake months job of guarding,
bossing and working q squad of
these poor, abused prisoners, in
whose behalf they seem eager to
put upon the taxpayers an addi-
tional burden of over $500, 900 a
year.
Keep this in mind; society is
called upon to take kindly care of
its captured and convicted enc
mics, and society, as represented
by the State, is doing the best it
can.

Congressional Cussedness.

A very simple, easy and posi-
lively certain remedy to prevent
financial panics was suggested to
Congress shortly after that body
assembled, last December. 1t was
the Oklahoma plan of guaran-
teeing bank deposits.
If Congress had passed--if it
would pass a law guaranteeing the
safety of deposits in all national
banks, any man with a moderate
amount of intelligence knows that
there would be no more money
panics. A very small tax impos-
ed upon the circulation of the ma
tiona banks would yield an ample
guarantee fund, which, deposited
in the federal treasury, would put
public confidence upon an unshak-
able foundation and thus insure
the banks against those runs
which have wrecked so many Of
them.
In view of this and of the fact
that such measure would have
the effect of bringing into circn-
lation a great deal of money now
secretly boarded, it is surprising
that the banks themselves did not
demand the enactment of the sug-
gested law. But they opposed it,
and Congress, with its usual and
inexcusable cussedness, yielded to
them and passed the most foolish
anti-panic measure that could be
devised.
1t was not ignorance on the part
of Congress; it was pure cussed-
ness and corruption, for which the
only remedy in sight is the cleo
ton of Bryan and a Democratic
Congress.

of the Inverness Chronicle and the
Live Oak Democrat, publishes a
letter in last weeks issue of the
former paper explaining why he
was in Florida under an assumed
name and stating that he and his
family, now in Missouri; would
soon return to this State. His
explanation is not only satisfac-
tory, but it shows him TO be the
man of honor he was regarded to
be by the many friends he made
in Florida. He will be welcomed
back to any section of the State in
which he may choose to locate.

Appeal to Florida Democrats.
10 Lhe DemooraLs OF Florida.

To the Democrats Of Florida.
The prospects for Democratic
success in the presidential election
are bright this year providing the
campaign committee can secure
sufficient money with which to con-
duct the fight, Funds are needed
to defray the expenses of speak.
ers, to prepare and circulate liter
AZURE, and to properly present the
Democratic policies and argu-
ments to the public at large.
Mr.. Bryan, the nominee, and
Chairman Mack, of the national
committee, have both issued APP
peals for popular contributions to
the campaign fund. In some sec
tons Of the country these appeals
are being needed and the people
are contributing in a very satisfac-
tory manner. We should do as
well, or better, in Florida.
Florida is a democratic state.
We do not have to make the hight
here that is necessary in the
doubtful states, but we are
as much or more interested in Sc
curing democratic administra-
ton as they are. For that reason
we should raise money for use in
those states where it is needed,
because there is where the fight
will have to be made and the is
sue decided, and because there is
where a proper and legitimate
campaign fund is absolutely nee
essary if the party is to win this
year.
FOR these reasons urge The
democrats Of Florida to contribute
as literally as their means will
permit. More than $4,000 votes
were cast in our recent primary.
An average of $i.00 each would
make very respectable showing
for this state, and there are few
voters who cannot afford to con-
tribute at least q dollar, while
others Gun give more.
AS one means Of getting out a
good vote in this state in the No
vember election and of raising
money to be used by the national
campaign committee now, | urge
the immediate organization Of
Bryan and Kern clubs in every
county in Florida. also urge
the newspapers TO assist in the
work of awakening public senti-
ment TO the necessity of raising
this money and ! would suggest
that every paper in Florida offer
to receive contributions for the
national campaign. This money
can be sent to me and l will imme-
dIately turn it over 10 the national
campaign committee, or it can be
sent direct to Governor G. N.
Haskell, Treasurer National Com
mittee, Guthrie, Oklahoma.
Believing that the Democrats Of
Florida, when fully awakened to
the necessity of the situation, will
respond literally to the call
which Mr.. Bryan and the cam
paign committee have made, ! am,

THE HERALD is afraid that its
readers are very tired of the dis
cnssion Of the convict lease sys-
tenn, but as it involves a matter of
nearly half-nlilIion dollars a
year Of additional taxes to be lev
led, in case the present system is
abolished, and as the people now
ore unable to bear this increase of
burden and as various and sundry
newspapers, which ought to know
better, persist in demanding that
the lease system be abolished, The
HERALD feels constrained by u
sense of duty to the taxpayers to
make q few more remarks on the
eubject by way of pointing out
Che absurdity Of the counterfeit
argument presented by the oppo-
aition, particularly that printed
in last weebs's DeFuniak Breeze.
The Breeze sneers at THE HER
ADDS suggestion that President
Heiherington, Of the Stale Press
Association, be selected and. re.
quested to make n thorough in
yestigation of-the present system
and report in print the results of
his investigation. That paper, in
an effort at irony, says in effect
chat the idea is an excellent one,
and that proclamation of Mr..
Hetherington's coming should be
made in advance at all the camps
and prisons that the lessees may
get ready to give him an ocular
demonstration of all the alleged
abuses by applying in his pres
mce ''the sanded strap to a few
prisoners and pouring salt water
on their bleeding wounds.
again" says the Breeze, "the
Christianizing influence of driving
mon to almost superhuman tasks
on short rations of unfit, half
cooked food might be illustrated
by actual example for his benefit"
1t may no observed that this
feeble attempt at ridicule carries
with it the implied charge that
che prisoners are inhumanly treat
ed in the manner and methods in
Dictated, and it may be asked that,
IL the editor Of the Breeze has
been so smart as to evade the Wig
lance and cunning of the lessees
and TO discover that the cruelties
indicated by him are actually
practised, why cannot Mr.. Hetb-
ellington be equally as experts
Also, why has not the editor of
the Breeze reported these abuses
iii detail to the authorities at Tai
iahasseel He is so solicitous for
tbe comfort and welfare of the
cQnvicts that 1t is surprising that
he has not filed formal charges. 1t
Is also surprising that he fails to
intimate that prisoners have been
ruthlessly shot by the guards and
many Others beaten to death.
The Breeze editor does not make
matters quite horrible enough nor
does he furnish proof that the cru
cities he insinuates against the les
sees are in common practice in all
the prison camps.
He and the other editors who
practically profess to be cognizant
