Jefferson Is
 Postmaster
Washington, D. C., Jan. S-Presi- dent Roosevelt today app ointed Jesse D. Jefferson postmaster at Valdez.

The above news mes as surprise to everyone, even Mir. Jefferson, the appointcc, stating that he had re- ceived no word of the change. In re- gard to there being change made in tine office, Mr. Jefferson states that Dr. Bt yle determined last summer to resign in his favor, owing to the fact that all of the work fell upon Mir. Jef- ferson and that there was 10 money in the position. At that time Jefferson secured the endorsements of several of the leading business men, aud it ap- pears that VI en Dr. Boyle filed his resignation, the president imm ediately appointed Jefferson i'll his place. There were several other applicants in the field, but as Jefferson was familiar with the office affairs and had such good backing, he won easily.

VALDEZ MAY BE DISTRICT COURT
 HEADQUARTERS

It is probable that in the near future Valdez will be made the headquarters of the Court in the Third division. In an interview with PROsPECTOR repre- sentative this morning Judge Reid stated that he is so favora bly impress ok with Valdez, and it's superior facil- ties for communication with the states and the balance of the district, that he contemplates having the court Headquarters established here.
 The judge has asked the attorney general for permission to make the change, and he has received instruc- tions to establish his headquarters at any point in the district which he deems the most suitable.

The machinery of the state appears to bs in control Of Foraker, who is also as- sisted by his colleague, Senator Dick, and by Boss Cox. The rank and file of the party is in favor of Taft, but it is doubtful if he can secure the entire delegation. Without his homo state, his chances for the nomination are not considered propitious.

Governors Day at DeFuniak.

Governors Day at the Florida chau-
tauqua proved the most satisfactory
of our chautauqua. The crowd was

delightful in every respect. A stirring

Broward before a large and enthusi-

the vital questions of the day, and
those especially prominent before the
people Of his own state, were touched
upon by our chief executive, and the
masterful way in which he handled
these great subjects, showed that he
had given them careful and deep con-
sideration. The address was Of the
kind calculated to stimulate the
thinking facilities of the citizen and to
enable him 10 obtain a better grasp
OF the great problems which are to-
day confronting him, and the treat

But, seriously, we would ask if
the governor wants to build up a

add to its strength, how could he pro-
mote that purpose by using his influ-
ence as the head of the pardoning
board to secure the release of an OBJ

In this case It is not necessary for
Governor Broward TO talk back to his
critics; they have made out too
strong a case against themselves. The
board of pardons is human and fall
lible, and doubtless commits errors OF
judgment in leaning too often to mer-
cy's side. but to charge it with re-
leasing a negro criminal to build up
or strengthen a BrOward machine is
surely the limit.
