The governor owes a constitutional
duty to the people who elected him.
This constitutional duty requires him
to select the men best fitted for adj
ministering the peoples Offices. He
owes only a PARTY DUTY to the pri-
mary, and his constitutional duty
should always rise superior to his
party duty. If the primary selections
are men whom he can appoint with
out violence to his constitutional du-
ty, the duty he owes to his party i'm
pels him to appoint them; but when
ever they are not, he should disre-
gard the primary.-Tallahassee Sun.
1t may just as we'll be argued that
the legislature has a constitutional. as
well as a party duty to perform, and
the constitutional duty should be par
amount. If the primary selection is
not what a majority of the members
of the legislature think is best fitted
to represent Florida in the senate of
the United States, then, according to
Editor L'Engle's reasoning, it is their
solemn duty to disregard the primary
and select some other man better fit
ted to serve the people in this office.
Under the primary system the SOW
ereign power is lodged in the hands Of
the people, and if their judgment is
good in the selection of the higher Of
fees it ought to be good in the selec-
ton of the lower ones.

SPEEDY BUT NOT HARSH

The editor of the News has received
a letter from Governor Broward, in
which his excellency says:
"A few days ago l wrote you a let
ter in behalf of the candidacy of our
late lamented friend and senator,
Hon. w. ]. Bryan. Since that time, as
you know, he died as the result of
typhoid fever, from which he was then
suffering.
His kinsmen and many of his
friends and mine have requested that
| become a candidate in his place for
United States senator before the dem
Ocratic primaries soon to be held. /
have concluded to do so. and there
fore now ask you to support me It
may seem harsh 10 receive a letter
from me making this request so soon
after the death of our friend. Senator
Bryan, but it is only about a month
and a half before the primaries, and
if I am to be nominated it is neces-
sary that speedy work be done"
The News hastens to assure Gov.
Broward that his action does not ap-
pear the least bit harsh, but is quite
in line with a program that became
fixed in our mind Immediately when
We read the telegram announcing the
death of the lamented Bryan. The
News also agrees with the governor
on his proposition that eff he is to be
nominated it is necessary that speedy
work be done" 1t also agrees that
he began speeding" before the floral
decorations on the grave of Senator
Bryan had commenced to wilt. Speed
away, governor, but don't forget what
happened to your immediate prede-
cessor, who neglected his official du-
ties in like mad chase for the sena-
torship four years agO.-Tampa News.

DON'T LIKE 1T A BIT

The moving picture business is a
thriving one now all over the coun-
try. For five cents in the north and
10 cents in the south, a person can
be delightfully."- and sometimes instruc.
lively etertained for an hour. Many of
the exhibits are worthy, and some
very questionable. There is one ex-
hibit which is more largely attended
and commented upon than any other.
1t is termed "The Passion Play" and
is a representation of the life of
Christ from the manger to the ascen-
sion.
Many question whether it is right
to visit it or not, as it misrepresents
some of the acts of Christ's life, par
ticularly one event, namely, the bap-
tism. This it falsifies by depicting
the Jordan river as a tiny stream
and John pouring water upon the head
of Jesus.
In showing the Jordan as no more
than a small branch it falsifies facts
and presumes upon the ignorance of
the public. The truth is God had to
dam up its waters (Joshua 3:16) be-
fore Israel could pass over it; Pres
byterian Talmage immersed in it, as
is recorded in the history of his life,
and in every state there are many
who have looked upon this no insig-
nifcant stream.
In picturing Jesus as having water
poured on his head a falsehood is told
as bold and black as Ananias uttered.
The meaning Of the word baptizo.
from which we have baptize, means
not to pour upon, but to dip, as the
scholars of all sects admit. The plain
English reading Of Matthew's account
och. SO, 10, and Mark och. 1:5. Q.
100, shows it was not as represented
by these moving pictures.
It seems a pity that the company
that sends out those views cannot
give a true representation in their
Some ignorant people,
doubtless, have been deceived, and
the previously deceived pleased in
this delusiOn.
Some one or ones must answer to
God for this perversion Of truth and
of errOr.-Southern Bap-

5RoWARD
ANNOUNCED
LATE
TOO

The death of Senator Bryan would
have given Lamar the nomination in
the first primary, had not Governor
Broward announced for the position
of United States senator.
With Broward in the race we will
have a second primary, and the con-
testants will be Lamar and Fletcher.
The general belief is that Lamar will
win out. BrOward will not make a
strong race, as he came out too late.
A majority of his friends have al
ready pledged themselves to the 9TH
er candidates. Lamar is the most ex-
peTienced man in the race, and has
behind him a public record which will
strengthen him when it is made
known to the people.
We find by inquiry that a great
number of Browards friends are gOin-
to support Lamar. Had Governor
BrOward waited and made the race
in 1910 against Taliaferro he would
have won, but now Lamar will be the
winner and should be.-Bartow Re-

IDEAL EDITOR
cord.

This is the greatest country in the
world for newspapers. ] believe with
Jefferson that a newspaper is essen
tial in molding public opinion. OF our
newspapers | regard the smaller ones
as our larger ones. The big newspa-
per is a business enterprise and so
valuable a business proposition that
only those can own it who are well
on, and, as a rule, the man who has
the business ability to control money
large enough hasn't the training of
an editor, and has to hire people to
write editorials for him.
The editor who has kept himself
alert with what is going on is so busy
that he doesn't accumulate money.
Great city newspapers are owned by
some and edited by others. The man
who is not permitted to put his con-
science in every line that is written
is not the ideal editor. believe that
the ideal editor is the editor who
owns his own paper and says what
he himself believes-William ]. Bry-
