trict VIZ: J. w Kehoe and Chas. H.
Ianey, of Pensacola; jefferson ID.
Stephens, of Mariana; J. F. c. Griggs,
OF Apalachicola; and ID, r. Mays, OF
Monticello:
These are all men of honor, intelii
highly esteemed in their respective
home towns and communities.
But only one of this number can
be elected. The other four will be
defeated, Of course.
1t is up to the voters of the dis
trict TO decide which shall be the fay-
pred one.
They are before the people asking
to be honored with this high office.
Each man has his platform of princi-
pies, upon which he is a candidate,
and each has his reasons why he
should be elected.
1t is the duty of the voter to vote
for the man whom he thinks is the
right and best man, and whom he
thinks will fill the exalted position
with honor and distinction, and whom
he thinks will be faithful and fear
less champion OF the peoples interests
and serve the state and nation as an
acceptable representative. endeayoring
to accomplish that good old democratic
doctrine, the greatest good to the

HE THINKS THERE rs NO NEED
FOR JOINT DEBATES
Pensacola. "a. March Z. .

Pensacola, Fla, March z, 1908.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
Some time ago / saw in your paper
letter from a candidate for a coun-
ty office, suggesting a joint debate al
different times through the county De
tween the candidates for the diHerens
elective offices, so that they tine can
didates) as your correspondent ex-
presses himself, can tell the people
what they stand for.
All this seems unnecessary anu
savors rather too much OF the poll
tician. The people care. little what
a mans other political views are, SO
long as they know he is a Democrat
and is qualified to hold the office for
which he is aspiring, and 1t doesn
need joint debate and a whole lot
of unnecessary expense to demon
strate that. What the county wants
Is a man, a Democrat if you VIII,
that IS mentally, morally and physi-
cally qualified, who will do his duty
according TO the laws governing each
Office.
The old time-worn habit of a can
didate coming around during a cam
paign and shaping YOU on the shout
der and shaking your hand and tell
ing you how everything ought to be
run and what he always stood for, is
about played out and does not catch
any more votes, and man that has
confidence enough in himself to come
out and ask support for certain Of
fee, is generally well enough known
for the voters To decide whether he is
qualified or not, without the use of
debates or speechmaking. Promises,
as every one knows, are about as
plentiful as flies in f1ytime and just
about as alluring

George Meredith, the English novel
list, so far agrees with Dr. Osler on
the proper age limit for man that he
says he is no good after he reaches
sixty-fve and ought to get out. That
may be true of George himself, who
is now we'll past that time of life, but
he shows no disposition to illustrate
his theory. Nearly all OF England s
prime ministers for more than half a
century past did much of their most
valuable service after they were sixty
five, and if that limit were imposed
as the duration of life now, it would
eliminate a prodigipus mass of the best
moral and intellectual force regularly
doing work of incalculable value for
the betterment of mankind. The period
Of some mems usefulness may be
reached at sixty-five, but they are very
few out OF the whole number, and it
is absurd to attempt to lay down any
rigid rule on the subject.

The lynching Thursday of two ne
murder of an aged white man and his
wife for purposes OF robbery, again
calls attention TO the inexora bic fact
that here in the South We are con-
fronted by a condition, not "a theory,
in dealing with our ever-present and
omni-present negro problem. Lynch
ing cannot be defended on valid
grounds as a practice to be tolerated
full machinery of law is in operation,
but it is perfectly idle to denounce it
and construct impregnable theories
to prove it wrong, as a means to
break it up, so long as we have the
delays and uncertainties which every
where mark the administration of the
criminal law in this country. These
frightful negro crimes are not spo-
radic-they have become typical; they
make life in the lonely rural districts
habitually unsafe; they surround
every home with peril and fill every
heart with apprehension, and unless
we can learn some way 10 make the
law swift and sure and pitiless in it's
reTibution in every instance, lynch
ing will continue. The solution OF
the problem is in the hands of our
legislatures through which alone can
come the needed changes in our meth
DDS OF criminal procedure. If the va
rious bar association of the South
would take hold of this matter in the
right spirit the reform would soon be
made, for on such questions the law
yers dominate legislatures.
