Thus it is seen that good roads and
public education go hand-in-hand; or
rather the former is just a trifie in
advance of the other, consequently
there is no chance to kill the spirit
demanding them.
In fact, while Florida chronicles a
single failure. nearly every other
state is showing an interest in the sub
Ject paramount almost TO every other
question Then there is the senator
from Mississippi who has taken the
matter up with congress, demanding
$4,000 appropriation to be expended
in behalf of good roads-expended

We are inclined to believe that if

question would be the sooner de-

OF IMPORTANCE
TO THE PEOPLE

1t IS true Democratic prln-
c1ple to continue in office a
man who has served the peo-
pie faithfully and we'll, and it
is to the interest of the peo-
pie to do so when the office
is such as to require particu-
lar qualifications. The office
OF Tax Collector requires all
OF a mans time as we'll as the
most palnstaking care III or
der that the interests of the
people may be subserved, and
1t would be folly to place in
the office any man who was
not thoroughly in touch with
public affairs and who lacked,
in the slightest degree, any of
the qualifications necessary
to the fultIllment of the duties
imposed.
Joe Roberts, who has held
the office for the past three
years, and is now a candidate
for reelection, has demon
strated his fitness for the of

The Gainesville Sun is reported to
have INDUCED in some rather acr:d
comments on the action of some over
Jealous supporters of the great Ne
braskan' by their claimins that no
man should be nominated for any Of
nee unless he is an Outspoken Bryan
lte. We had not noticed any such
action. The only connection in which.
50 far as our oDservat ON goes. the
name of Bryan has been used is in
connection with the selection of. dele
gates TO the national convention at
Denver. And il viii ne remembered
that delegate is not an ofTice-hoIder
at all No inquiry seems to have
been nrade whether any candidate in
the state for nom nation TO any office
Is or Is not friendly TO the nomina-
ton Of Bryan for the presidency.
When however, ii comes to the
nomination OF a candidate for the
presidency and the choosing of dele
gates TO the body which is to make
that nomination. it is exceedingly
proper that the voters should know
the preference OF the men who ask
to be chosen. If the voter prefers
Bryan he should cast his ballot for
men of the same preference. II he
prefers some other candidate he
should vote for candidates of his own
way OF thinking.

Henry Watterson has built I'D his
fame on his editorial work. He can
treat large questions with more per-
suasive force and grace than any man
of his time, and a leader from him on
a national issue is worth more to con-
vince his readers than several issues
of the Congressional Record stuffed
full of great speeches. 1t is Marse
Henry's gift, and there is no way to
deprive him of it, while he lives and
keeps his health. In a recent issue
of the Courier-JournaI he discusses
at length the prospect for democratic
victory next fall, and while not an EN-
thusiaSt, he sees some rosy streaks
of hope on the horizon. One of his
pregnant sentences is this, which is
full of significance, coming from a big
democrat of national fame and infiu-
ence, who once refused outright to
support Mr.. Bryan after he had been
nominated, and has only recently
been converted to the cause of that
gentleman in the pending campaign.
He says:
The republicans are split wide open.
This is their year to lose. The d inner
pail is growing emptier ana emptier.
The voters are getting in the humOr
to try democracy d lick or two.

must rise on its own merits, and to
admit that it can't is TO confess its
hopeless Notwithstanding they
are not willing to do.
Such degenerates as Editor Holt of
the New York Independent and the
unspeakable white females who Joined
with him the other night in advocat-
ing the intermarriage of the races,
are largely of the class who are. re-
sponsibie for the increasing crime rec
ord of the Southern negroes-murder,
rape and criminal assaUlt-and our
chief regret is that they cannot them
selves be made the victims of their
own folly and false teaching rather
than the men and women of the South
whom they seek to degrade by ANAL
gamation with an inferior race.
Not only should there be a law in
every state in the Union against ra-
cial intermarriage, enforced with pitt
less severity, but there should be a
law to put in prison stripes such fell
lows as Holt of the New York indie
pendent, who preach the foul and
shameless doctrine.

THE SELECTION OF SHERIFF. Z
Fernandina Record. Z
. . >>%%~>% :

The following from the Leesburg
Commercial concerning the selection
of Il sheriff is as applicable to Nassau
county as it is to Lake county, and as
it cOnta ms some good advice We re-
produce it:
Lake county now has five canli-
dates who are seeking the office of
sheriff, but unfortunately the office is
seeking only one of them. They all
admit that the office should seek the
man, and each of them is putting him
self in public places SO that the of
fee can, as Major Abrams used to
say. find him without difficulty.
The sheriff's office is an important
one to the people. Some people
think that if man has bravery and
can shoot a pistol he is qualified to
be a sheriff. TIL IS is a great mistake.
These may be very good qualities,
but we have seen men who had both
of them who would make very poor
sheriffs 4 sheriff should be discreet,
sagacioUs, careful and just. He should
have a good knowledge OF his duties
and a high regard for them.
The actions of some sheTiffs are
Largely controlled by their own OpIn-
ion of the lsht or wrong of certain
laws This is a fatal weakness. No

John Kelly, an artilleryman Of Fort

The man showed evidence of having

recovered consciousness at the police

An Issue to Be
Kept Alive.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal is
one of the leading papers of the South
always alert to every issue which af-
fects the mental, moral and material
development of this section. Good
roads is one of those issues, steadily
growing in magnitude and insistence,
and the big Memphis daily loses no
opportunity to help along the great
cause Recently The Journal COM
mented on the failure of the Florida
good roads meeting at Jacksonville in
point of attendance, and the CONNER
clal Appeal, noting our comment,
made the subject a leading article
which we reproduce below:
Florida was not very happy in its
last good roads congress. Indeed, the
attendance was so slim and the meet
ing so lacking in interest and enthus-
iasm that some are inclined to think
that the movement in that state has
no longer legs to stand upon. But
opposed TO this peSSimism in a good
cause is the splendid optimism of The
Pensacola Journal, which tells the peo-
pie TO put this failure out of their
memories and try, try again.
THIS Is no reason Tor discourage
ment," declares The Journal. Every
great cause which has no spectacular
effects To offer and no popular, emo
tional features in 1t, is handicapped
in just that way, but a few faithful
souls keep the sacred fires burning on
the altar, and in time the cause, if il
has the merit in it, sweeps the cOUn-
try. Our legislature has never had
the character, courage or intelligence
20 take hold of this subject in a broad
and adequate way, but the cause of
good roads is here to stay, and here
10 stay until it wins. Its victory will
be complete in the end"
And quite right, too. Good roads,
or at least the spirit demanding them,
can never die.
Good roads, says the Meridian
Dispatch, come or should come be-
fore the school question; for schools
without good roads are crippled in
their efficiency, while with good roads
schools would follow, as naturally as
