Some Comforting
Democratic Figures.

The full returns show that Bryan

a dead or dying democratic party,
does it? Here are some figures worth
the careful perusal of both dropping
democrats and elated republicans:
In Missouri Parker lost the state
by 25,137 votes, and Bryan only lost
it by about 5000. In Ohio there wd5
a gain of 1S0,326 for the democrats
over 1904. Roosevelt getting major

$4,000, a democratic governor being
elected this year.
In Indiana Roosevelt had a major
fly of 1894 votes, while Taft only
gets 10000, clean gain of 1884
votes, with a democratic governor
and legislature.
In Kansas Roosevelt had 125,093
majority, while Taft mas only 100, 900.
In Minnesota, the state of Govern

THE GAME LAW
st. Augustine Record.

1t is observed that the Mississippi
Audubon society has appealed TO the
circuit judges of the several districts
of the state to aid in the cause OF
bird preservation by charging grand
juries specifically, to look into viola
tons OF the game laws of the state.
That is a good suggestion and we
feel sure Will be accepted and acted
upon by the judges. A few indict-
ments with proper punishment follow
ing, for the wanton killing of birds
will have a salutary effect in creating
respect for the law and make be-
ginning towards the restoration to our
woods and fields of their feathered
glories.
The game laws of state and coun-
ty are entirely adequate to the pur-
poses that they are designed to ac-
complish. But they are as so much
waste paper unless they are enforced,
and it is to procure this enforcement
that the Audubon society of the state
is solicitous about: and, right here.
it may be suggested that branch or
this society might be organized in
every county with profit and advant-
age to the game and agricultural In

In the meantime, let every friend
of the bird feel that he has duty to
perform in the way of projection and
much good will result from the COM
bined individual effort.

at him from new points of view and

of him, and We probably did; but
now that the war is over and Mr..

SECRETARY SIMMONS ON
PARDONING OF CRIMINALS
Arcadia Champion.
'>>>><>>~~>>>>~> {

The Pardoning of Criminals, by Dan

governor and four administrative Off
GERS of the executive department, and
that from thirty to forty cases come
before them every month, and that
the board can only spare two days in
each month to their investigation, that
the sins of omission and commission
on the part of the pardoning board
should be lightly dealt with. Mr.. Sim
mons declares that the thorough ex-
animation Of these thirty or forty
cases world leave the board no time
for any other duties whatsoever. He
suggests that the next legislature
make provision for the appointment
of a pardon attorney, who can put in
his time at the work of investigating
the cases TO be brought before the
board. and to impartially advise them,
putting the salient features of each
case in a condensed form, after hav-
ing himself investigated the matter
with the judges and prosecuting at
torneys before whom the case WAS de-
cided. This would-so it seems to us
be placing too much power in the
hands of one man, and likely to prove
even more unsatisfactory than the
present system. but some relief from
the congested conditions that prevail
is evidently needed, and we hope.

American exhibits of all kinds from

a mammoth affair, held under distin-

the prospectus are carried out our
