Let Jury Fix Punishment.

The Florida law should be changed
50 that the jury shall fix the degree
Of punishment and. in capital cases,
the time OF execution. Leaving the
degree of punishment to the court
and the time of execution to the
chief executive, spreads the RESPONSE
bility around too much. A jury that
is willing to find a man guilty OF
murder in the first degree should be
willing to fix the penalty at hanging
and select the date of the execution.
There is no reason why a governor or
a state. who knows nothing but hear
say about the crime, should set the
date, or be called upon 10 commute
the sentence TO life Imprisonment.
The authority TO lessen the punish
ment should, however, not be taken
away under certain conditions.-De"

7. J. L. BROWN RETIRES
FROM SENATORIAL RACE
Tampa Tribune.


Thos. j. L. Brown has withdrawn
from the race for United States sena-
tor. He made the positive statement
yesterday when seen by a representa-
tive of the Tribune for a denial or
verihcation of a rumor that has been
persistent on the streets since the re-
turn of Colonel Brown from Cuba.
Since making my announcement
several months ago" said Colonel
Brown, 'the sad deaths of Senators
Mallory and Bryan, together with the
entrance of MIR Lamar, Governor N
B. Broward and others in the race,
have SO complicated matters that |
have decided not TO run. However, l
wish to sincerely thank my friends in
Tampa, jacksonville and other places
in Florida who offered me encourage
ment and support, with which l be-
neve l could have made successful
race had the opportunity been given
me 4-e strenuous work demanded
in the promotion of the recent state
fair, followed by my trip to Cuba,
placed me far behind my opponents,
and at this date t would be indeed
difficult to overcome the lead they
have gained on me.
Furthermore continued Colonel
Brown, my friend, Robert McNamee,
was 10 nave acted as my campaign
manager. The situation in Hillsbor-
ough county as regards the prohibit
ton question. however. made it prac-
tically incumbent for Colonel Nc
Nance to make the race for the state
senate. and as l deem his election to
that Office most important to the
business welfare of this city and
county, it is my intention to work in
cessantly for his election from now
until the last ballot is polled at the
Nav urinary"

The Birmingham Age-Herald pre-
diets that Governor Johnson, OF Min
nesota. will be nominated for vice
president at Denver, with Mr.. Bryan
of course, at the head of the ticket.
A happy suggestion, and that Is just
the way it ought to be. If Governor
Johnson is the true-blue democrat we
take him to be. he will consent to the
program and his name on the ticket
will undoubtedly give strength to it
more strength, perhaps, than any
other name could. There is plenty of
time yet for him to lead the party.
and he would make mighty fine sue
cessor to President Bryan in the
White House.

His White Neishbors Helped Him.

Ben King, a ColoTed farmer living
out in the White SchoolhOuSe neigh
borhoOd. happened TO the misfortune
of having 200 panels of fence burned
one day about week ago. and as his
crop was growing, IL was all the old
man could do to keep the stock mind
ed on with no opportunity to rebuild
the burned fence. 1t is a matter OF
great credit to him. however. that he
was so well thought of by his white
neighbOrs that they all came in and
rebuilt his fence for him every body
lending hand. and soon the 200 pan
els of ten-rail fence was up and in
place Ben was very profuse in his
thanks to his white friends who rem
dered him so great ass. stance in his
time of need.-Live Oak Democrat.

Judge Gray, of Delaware, is an ex-

the Gray situation accurately as fol-
lows:
The men who are behind the Gray

democrats who contribute half mil
lion dollar subscriptions to the repub-
