NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Bronson, Mrach 1s.---Leyy county
, voters have been honored again this
week by the presence of one Of Flor
ida most distinguished sons and
statesmen, Hon. John 5. Beard, OF
Pensacola, who addressed one Of the
most attentive and appreciatiye audi
ences ever assembled in this county.
The speaking was at the court house
Tuesday evening, and although but
short notice of the meeting had been
given, goodly number of voters
were in attendance and number OF
ladies graced the occasion with their
presence.
BY request of a number OF citizens,
Prof. S. Phillips. the popular sUperin-
tendent of public instruction of this
county, presided, Introducing Senator
Beard. Among the remarks made by
Prof, Phillips in introducing the ora
tor he mentioned Senator Beard s
great services to the Democratic par
ty and TO his state and county The
eloquent remarks of Prof. Phillips
brought forth applause
Senator Beard spoke at length on
the Fifteenth amendment TO the con-
stitution of the United States The
right of the citizens CT the United
states 10 vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by
any state on account of race, color or
previous condition of servitude.s Sen
ator Beard proceeded to demonstrate
to his hearers that The supreme court
of the United States will hold that
the Fifteenth so-calIed amendment is
not part of the constitution of the
United States, that it was neither
conSitUtionally proposed nor consti-
tutionaHy ratified. He handled this
subject in an able and most frocibie
manner, convincing those present
that he had studied this question
carefully. He was interrupted sever
nj times by loud applause. which was
proof that the voters were with him.
Senator Beard has been most high
~ complimented on this-one of the
most eloquent and forcible addresses
ever delivered in this county He
left yesterday morning for Starke,
where he had an appointment to adj
dress the voters of Bradford county.

From all parts of the country come
strong expressions of regret for the
untimely death of Senator Bryan of
this state, and from no source has
there been "a more touching and dis
eliminating tribute than that from
President Roosevelt. There is an I'M
speakable pathos in the death of this
brilliant, high-minded young man
deeply in love with life for. the rare
opportunities 1t gave him to achieve
honorable distinction, which strikes
through the coarsest nature. And the
pitiless decree which cut him off on
the very threshold of great career
makes the heart ache with grief and
wonder what the motive was. 1t is
the eternal query, the amending mys-
terry, and we shall never know until
the cross lights which confuse and
perplex us here are fused in the white
radiance of the hereafter.

AS to the Railroad
Commission.

We admit all that Editor Harris,
Of the Ocala Banner, so forcibly says
about the immense benefits TO rail-
roads, their increased traffic and the
development of the country generally
resulting from the prodigious mass of
litersture constantly pouring through
the columns of the newspapers
Under old conditions, before the
railroads had become a problem, it
was all right to exchange transporta-
ton for this form of advertising, and
us editors were whirled around all
over the country without putting up
q cent in cash and feeling that we
were really paying about two prices
in good advertising for every mile of
transportation that we got. But old
things have passed away, the early
stages of development are over, and
We are living in new era in which
the railroads, grown to be a power of
almost incalculaIble strength, must
either control the people or the peo-
pie must control them.
There can be no halfway ground
one must be distinctly subordinate to
the other-and it has been decided
that the roads. holding their fran
chises from the people and operated
for their benefit as public highways,
must cease TO dominate in legislation
and in politics and get right down to
their proper business as common car
riers on a purely business basis, ex-
tending special privileges to nobody
and holding none for themselves.
Manifestly an important step in
this direction was to divorce the
roads from the press in their old
time relationship, and by making the
latter absolutely independent of the
former, beholden for no favors, di-
rect or indirect, put each on a foot
ing in which there colrld be no sus-
picion of cooperation or collision,
and the incalculable power of the
press would be kept absolutely pure
as a veritaible bulwar1I between the
people and the stealthy encroach-
ments of corporate power.
This divorce has been made perfect
by legislation both state and national:
the free pass is dead; the ancient
special privileges of the editor have
ceased to exist; he must pay for his
transportation like the farmer. the
merchant, the doctor. the mechanic
and all other classes. and being thus
emancipated from the long and genial
tyranny of the railroads, he is for the
first time in his life free to tell the
truth about them at all times and
under all circumstances and so be
real benefactor to the people in the
tense issue between them and the cor
porations
All this being true, We submit to
the veteran editor of the Ocala Ban
ner that he distinctly begs the ques-
tons and evades the issue when he
seeks to Justify his denunciation of
the railroad commission in prohibit
ing the old transportation contracts,
by pilipg up testimony to show that
the papers gave full value received,
and more, too, for the passes their
editors rode on.
The commission is confronted by
written law in this issue, and to have
evaded its provisions in order to con.
ciliate the press would have been alb
solute dishonor for every member OF
that body.
