The article by Hon. John S. Beard
in The Journal of yesterday suggest
ing that in the future the Southern
democracy should attend no more fed
eral nominating conventions and that
the southern electoral vote should
hold itself as the balance of power
between the two great parties, with
a view to such concessions to this sec
ton as would restore Southern infu-
ence and power, furnishes plenty of
food for thought. Such policy would
certainly be a most drastic innovation
quite without precedent in our polit-
ical history, but it looks practicable
and in view of the fact that it seems
impossible for us to ever elect a DEM
ocratic president a good many weary
democrats. sick with hope deferred
will be very likely to approve Mr..
Boards plan. If we are ever to get
up to the crib we must find some new
way to do it. The old road don't
seem to lead in that direction at all.

Recently in Texas where the laws

the State Bar Association debated

ground that there was no public de-

Will Ask for New Court
The criminal business of the cir
cult court Of Alachua county is now
so great that there is no doubt that
criminal court of record should be
established at the next session of the
legislature. It would not only assure
speedy trial of persons charged
with crime, but would give the circuit
Judge more time to devote to the civ
il docket, thus eXpediting business in
that line. In order to get a criminal
court established a petition for same
must be signed by a majority of the
registered voters of the county, and
the bar association should take action
in the matter without unnecessary de-
llay.-Gainesville Sun.
