An Example to
Other Governors.

In the extraordinary vigor which
Governor Patterson, of Tennessee, is
manifesting in running down the
Reelfoot Lake assassins who have ter
rorized that part of the state, he is
giving an example to other state ex-
ecutives which can hardly fail to have
a salutary effect.
He has declared martial law, put
the troops in full charge of the situa-
tion, and gone to the spot in person
in face of threats to murder him if
he did his duty. Tea of the suspects
have been arrested and relentless
search il being made to gather in
every member of the great mob of
criminals who SO cruelty put Captain
Rankin to death and sought to do as
much for his companion, and the
prospects are good that sll OF them
will be caught
The South. and indeed, the whole
country, needs just such a strong and
inspiring example as Governor Patter.
SON is furnishing. Ii is not the law
of the land that saves the situation
in the war on criminals, but the man
behind that law, and the efficiency
of the latter is precisely determined
by the quality of the former. Given
a weak governor, a weak sheriff, or
weak jury, and no matter how perfect
the statutes, they must fail of their
purpose. The converse of this prop
osition is equally true.
Tle governor of Tennessee is show
ing the executives of his neighboring
states how to stop the crime of night
riding.

VOTE FOR EDUCATION.
Jacksonville TimeS-Union.

II Florida would properly take care
OF her higher institutions OF learning
they would draw a heavy patronage
from abroad and the students from
other states would pay for their tut
tion. The college year begins with
October and ends with May or early
in June During these months stu
dents of northern colleges suffer from
the rigors of the winter and many
would come TO Florida TO escape the
cold
We know that Florida is healthful
all the year, but the majority of peO
pie who live in other states imagine
that the summers are unhealthfuI
here. They know, however, that the
eight months of the scholastic yea
constitute a period in which the
climate of Florida is more conducive
to life and health than that OF any
other state with the possible eXcep
ton Of California.
It is a small thing TO discuss when
the educational interests of the state
are involved, but it is a fact that good
educational institutions in Florida

governor If he has got to be paid
And there are a lot OF other men
hanging around him-a secretary OF
state, treasurer, comptroller, an
rney-general, a superintendent OF
public instruction and God knows
what eleSe, and there are still small
er men hanging around them. Sweep
them out.
Then there is the legislature that
meets every two years and does a
lot of devilment and charges for it,
Hang the legislature, Think of the
people being taxed to support such a
mob. Chase them.
The state of Florida pays a big
pile of money every year for educa-
ton, and the people are taxed to
raise the money-taxed to send a lot
of children to school! WHAT have
the children done for the people that
the people should be taxed to educate
them? Down with the public school

They would find Florida's climate de
lightful during the whole time anC
would spread the information, and
many of them would try the Other
four months and find the state gooC
to live in the year around.
This is such a small matter in com
parison with others that we hesitate
to refer to it, but what that is noi
smaller can be said on the other side
To the man who thinks a tax of one
mill on the dollar is such an import
ant matter that the educational inter
estS of the state should be neglected
to save it, we say more money would
come to Florida from out of the state
If our higher educational interests
we're properly cared for than the peo
pie of Florida are called on to ap
propriate to them.
Our higher institutions cannot in
spire confidence unless the apprOpria
tions that sustain them is fixed. The
people pay out no more money for
them when the constitution makes
provision for the than when the
legislature makes provision, so the
opposition to this constitutions
amendment can only come from men
who do not wish any provision made
for them at all or wish them only
half provided for.
Do we wish to continue to import
our teachers from abroad, many OF
them the most desirable citizens thai
we can get, but a large number ol
others entirely out OF sympathy with
our history, our aims, our civilization
Do we wish it to be necessary TO-
F'loridians to go to the other states tc
finish their education? Do We wish
to drop behind the procession in edu
catiOnal matters?
II we understand our own people
they do not wish this. They propose
to march with the advancement lag
with the rear; and if this is the tenn
per of the people of Florida they VIII
show it by voting for the amendment
proposing a tax of one mill on the
dollar in the interest of higher educa
ton.

The duty of voting should not be
neglected by democrats, even if it is
absolutely certain that every demo-
cratic nominee will be elected. In

Hon. Don McMullen of Tampa,

A noteworthy contribution to the
last issue of the Florida School Ex-
ponent is an article of considerable
length by Miss Elizabeth Pugh of the
Florida Female College, entitled,
Does Florida Furnish Material for
Artistic Literature?' The literary
merit of the article is of high order,
adm Miss Pugh has gathered and put
in attractive form enough of the his
tory, traditions, romance and legends
of the state to incontestably prove
her case that Florida is rich in mattel
ial for artistic literature Here is an
instance she cites that will prove of
local interest:
That our state furnishes instances
of rare personal daring is established
by an incident concerning the recent
history of Pensacola. Before the
great storm, two brave girls lived
with their father, at the light house
near the harbor. During the absence
of several trained men, employed at
tle station, the elements became un-
distress. Unlucky chancei Yet one
fortunate circumstance prevailed. In
frolicsome mood. the two girls had
learned how to throw the ropes. as in
rescue of lives The knowledge thus
gained, they now used to save Nor
ways seamen, and, in token of their
neroism, received a medal Of honor
from the king of that country. Physi-
cial prowess of less moment than this
has been celebrated in ballad of prose
romance. Why is not the rescue of
the Norwegian sailors fit subject for
a minstrers lay?
We need to stimulate the literary
spirit in Florida and to encourage the
production of writer's of something
better than the ephemeral literature
of the press, and Miss Pugh's article
ought to do good along this line.
