TAYLoR's LATEST CARTOON

The Tallahassee Sun prints a car
tOOn on the first page of its current
issue that is so repulsiYe to every
sense Of ordinary decency that it will
further condemn that sheet as one
lacking in the commonest principles
of journalism. The insult to Repre-
sentative Lamar and his good wife
is one that should certainly call for
prompt action on the part of Mr.. La
mar and his friends.-Tampa Evening
News.
This cartoon will be more or less
favorably or unfavOrably criticised by
the friends and enemies Of Mr.. Lamar.
but as there was no spleen, nor spite,
nor malice, intended, the otherwise
Objectionable features are very much
sOftened and Modified.
Mr.. Lamar is too big and broad a
man, We take it, to make a stir about
a cartoon intended to be harmless
and merely mirthful.

DEATH OF SENATOR BRYAN

1t is said by those who knew him
best that Senator William James Bry-
an. who died at Providence hospital,
Washington, d. c.. Sunday morning,
was possessed of the graces and
charms of manner, the accomplish
ments of the perfect orator and the
gifts of eloquence in rare degree
With it all he had clear and strong
convictions, and was courageous and
tactful in debate.
With this splendid equipment and
before reaching the full fruitiOn OF his
powers, he found himself occupying
place in the greatest legislative and
deliberative assembly in the world,
thus giving to him an opportunity
vouchsafed to few of earth, and TO be
thus cut of when thus surrounded
and when so much was within his
grasp, was certainly a sad and Ia
mentable occurrence.
This paper joins With the press OF
Florida in the expression of sorrow
and drops on his young grave a sin
cere tear Of pity.

home papers about our undeveloped
resources and balmy climate, measur-
ed in dollars and cents, was worth mil
lions to the state.
The idea that the extension of these
courtesies are corrupting and a men
ace to the perpetuity of our free in
situations is the most purile rot of
the centuries.
When Mr. Flagler's attention was
directed to Florida, who can value it's
worth to the state - dollars and
cents?
When the editor y, this paper at
tended his first meeting with the Ma
tiOnal Press Association which met
that year in Detroit, in the course of
little off-hand talk he remembers to
have said that he verify believed that
IL the said association had been form
ed in the earlier stages Of the repub-
lie the civil war would have been
averted, for it was largely brought on
by the newspapers. If, he said, these
moulders Of public opinion could have
freely mingled with the people of all
sections of the country, that it would
have softened their tone and temper
and the southern editors, seeing with
their own eyes the powerful resources
Of the north, would have hesitat-
ed the urging of a trial of strength
with her, especially as the south was
sparsely populated and wholly un-
prepared for such gigantic combat.
These national press gatherings
were largely instrumental in unifying
and bridging over the bloody chasm, -
bringing about a restoration of good
feeling, and to this extent at least
were a national blessing.
1t is impossible to measure the good
flowing from these gatherings in dol
lars and cents.
The owners of the railroads. who
have millions invested in them, felt
that they were more than repaid in
the various write-ups for the trans
pOrtation and other courtesies ex-
tended to the members of the associa-
ton; but now the noodleheads, who
have assumed charge of these vast cor
pOrations, without a dollar at stake,
and seeking applause from the CALLER
les, say that these things are corrupt
ing and must stop!
What this country needs more than
anything else is a return to common
sense.

OUR STATE POLITICAL MACHINE
The Key West Citizen Not Poor Lit
tie Blind Lamb

When the state of Florida placed in
it's laws a provisit that the govern
or of Florida could not succeed him.
self, it did wisely. 1t Was realized
that an INSCRIPTIONS governor might
perpetuate himself in Office by using
his appointees and dependents as po-
litical henchmen. With the states
money he is empowered to send men
into every county, and clothed with a
certain amount of power they can
WELD a great influence over politicians
everywhere.
The provision has prevented the
governor from using the state employ
IS for his reelection, but it has devel-
oped in the present campaign that he
is not prevented from using them to
elect his satellites to office.
Governor Broward is today in con-
troll OF big political machine, and is
using it with brazen effrontery to
control the election of his allies.
II is no longer a secret that the
state bank examiners, convict lease
inspectors, pure food inspectors. and
other travelling state officials are all
electioneering for the machine candi-
dates. what help it would have been
had the state gone into the insurance
business, with a corps of agents in
each county,.
The candidates who are opposing
the friends of the governor are bad
ly handicapped. The state treasury is
at the back of the machine, and it
may be lax or vigilant in enforcing
the law.
And strange it is, the men who are
using and are being benefited by the
state machine are the hOwlers
against corporations. while robbing
the people of their right to select the
officials they are distracting attention
by shouting against the abuses of the
corporations.
The voters are getting their eyes
opened and if we read the signs Alright
the machine with all of its power will
be swept out of existence.-Key West
Citizen.

KENTuckYIzINe FLORIDA

We submit that the Ocala Banner is
unhappy in its selection of a corrob-
orative instance when il cites Ken
lucky, and when it rejoices in the de-
feat of Beckham. He was the choice
of state wide primary Of the party
which was regarded with fidelity by
everyone but four of the seventy dem
ocrats elected to the legislature. If
a primary is not the fairest and most
authoritative expression of party
wishes, if it is not impartial and truly
representative, then our theory Of
democratic politics is wrong The
four recalcitrant democrats endeavor-
ed to force down the threats Of their
party men who had not even been
voted for at the primary, and in de-
fault of being able to accomplish that
they joined the republicans in the Sc
lection OF a republican for United
broad. anti-machine democracy, then
we have studied politics and the En-
glish language in vain.-Tampa Times.
The Tampa Times has studied the
English language to little purpose if
it has construed any utteTance of the
Ocala Banner indicating that the con-
dition of politics in Kentucky is pleas
ing to it. On the contrary, the whole
tone and tendency of the utterances
of this paper have been to warn the
democrats of Florida against the
methods adopted by the democrats of
Kentucky.
The governor of Florida stands
committed to the primary system.
Has he not acted for all the world
like the four recalcitrant democrats
OF Kentucky? And will this not have
the tendency to Kentuckyize Florida?
Can the governor of Florida set a pre-
cedent and then complain of others
for following his example? He refus-
ed to commission Stoneman in Dade
county, and has pursued this policy in
other counties.
Can the Times denOunce the four
recalcitrant democrats in the Ken
lucky legislature and hold up the
hands of the governor of Florida for
doing precisely he same thing9

Senator Bryan was in many ways
the foremost young man in Florida.
At the early age of thirty-one, when
his splendid career has been closed
in obedience to the divine will of
God, Mr. Bryan had, by his example
and activities OF clean, vigorous,
brave and manly life, won the conf
dence and respect of the people of
Florida and the devoted friendship
and admiration of those with whom
he was associated. He represented
With uncommon faithfulness and con.

nOblest traditions of the people OF
Florida. and in his untimely death

Learned, ambitious, eloquent and

certain Offlce-hOlders an annual sum
Of money from three to six times in

THE LATE SENATOR BRYAN

At meeting of the governor and the
administrative officers of the executive
department of the state of Florida,
held in the executive office Monday,
March %, 1908, it was resolved that
intelligence has been received with
profound sorrow of the death in Wash

Honorable William James Bryan, jun
iOr United States senator from this
state. and that the undersigned do
join in this expression Of deep regret
at the death of this honorable and dis
tinguished citizen and trusted repre-
sentative of the people, whose short
life has been so richly filled with use
full and meritoTiOus achievements, and
gave such rare promise of brilliant
and valuable service in the future to
the people Of Florida and of the ma
ton.
life has been a glorious victory for
himself and record of honor for the
safe of Florida.
1t is directed that this resolution
be inscribed upon a page of the min
