ARE WE RESPONSIBLE?
By Peter Stanley.


When such brilliant, useful and
universally loved man as Edward Car
mack is so brutally murdered on the
streets of such a large city as Nash
Vile, in state as rich in educational
developments as Tennessee, the clocks
on the towers should pause at the day,
the hour and the minute; Old Jushua
ought 20 rise from his long. long
sleep and command the sun to stand
still until We American people could
get back on the safe and sane track
OF higher plane of civilization.
Some three years ago, DIR. Dickey,
president of Emory College, in North
Georgia, preached sermon in Ocala
which was listened to with unusual in
terest. His subject was: as the
true Religion of the Lord Jesus Christ
Passing Away" When such crimes
as the Tennessee murder drape our
monuments of morality with crimson
crosses of innocent blood and FURNISH
such brilliant names as Carmack upon
the untimely marble OF murdered
mems graves, We pause in our en-
thusiasm of foreign mission work, and,
recounting the millions Of fine church
steeples at home, put DR.. Dickey's
question 10 the test: Is it?
A thousand clergymen may answer
NO, to one DR.. Dickey Yes" Then
to the thousand we put the Tennessee
question and many-yea. too many,
reply: Bury the deed with the dead"
But the dead is buried and the deed
liveth. And the living are responsible
for the deed. AS a nation We are re-
Sponsible; as a Notwithstanding peo-
pie we are responsible; as private in
dividualS We are responsible. The
dead is buried but the living Iiveth on,
and each day when the golden sun
dips beneath the deep purple of eve
ning-tide soft, sad whispers echo from
a newly-made mound over in sunny
Tennessee, and as they take their va
riouS flights over the land of the brave
and the free 90 gathered under their
white wings is the mownful wall Of a
heart-broken, comfertless widow, lay
ing her burden at our feet.
Are We responsible?

facts will be brought out-not merely
the facts favorable to the applicant
The Tampa Tribune has been a
fierce assailant of the = Pardoning
Board, but the following from a re-
cent issle of that paper seems to in
dictate its approval of Mr.. Simmons's
suggestion that the Office of pardon
attorney should be created:
Daniel A. Simmons, secretary to
Governor Broward, who recently pub
lished an extensive newspaper article
suggesting changes in the pardOning
system in vogue in Florida, complains
that his article has been misinterpre-
ted. Mr.. Simmons says his sole plea
was for a pardon attorney, whose duty
it would be to represent the state in
applications for pardon. If such Office
were created and filed with a capable,
fair-minded and energetic man, it
would go far toward correcting a
great many of the abuses that now
exist in the system. Pardon appIica-
lions are now entirely one-sided af-
fairs, with only the prisoner and his
lawyers and friends having the floor,
so to speak. There is little occasion
for wonder, under such conditions,
that so many injudicious pardons are
granted.

Shall We Have
a Pardon ATTORNEY.

The recent strong article in The
Journal by Daniel A Simmons, pri-
waite secretary TO Governor Broward.
on the subject of the Pardoning Board
of Florida and the difficulties which
confronted it in discharging its ardu-
Gus duties, has attracted wide atten-
ton throughout the state.
The Pardoning Board mas had
critics without number who criticized
in honest indignation because so many
criminals were turned loose even
while crime was at its food tide with
no prospect of an ebb. But when Mr..
Simmons, thoroughly familiar with all
the difficulties which confronted the
Board. presented she plain facts in the
case there was a pause among the
critics and not one of them has al
tempted to answer his clear-cut -argu-
ments on the subject
His article has done good and his
suggestion that a pardon attorney be
appointed to represent the state in
each application for pardon is so OBJ
viously sound that no one has ques-
toned its value. This attorney is to
be charged with the duty of thorough
ly and impartially examining the
merits of each case; ample time and
facilities are granted him for that pur-
thing the Board of Par
dons never has now-and when the
case is called to be acted on the in
terests of the state will be fully rep-
nesented and protected, and all the

a question. Recently a man in st.
Lucie county VIGOROUSLY guilty OF
murder was tried and acquitted down
there. much to the Indignation
OF law-abiding people. He had able
lawyers and they did their best to
earn their fees.
The News says: "Tney have won a
notable victory at the bar regardless
of the evidence and the law. But we
raise a question. Was their victory
such an act as tends to promote re-
spect for the profession, reverence for
the law and for the saeredness of
life? Does not the skill of criminal
lawyers in fixing and swaying juries
tend to encourage men to take the
law in their own hands 10 right or
avenge private wrongs?"
A plain question bluntly put, but
no matter now obvious the reply
should be. the editor of the News is
not likely to get an answer The law
yers are safely entrenched behind
their ethics" weak minded juries
and a system Of criminal procedure
that is denounced by even the attor-
ney general of the United States as
almost scandal to civilization.
The lawyers can see no profit to
themselves in any material change in
tlat system, and as devotion to their
clients, guilty or innocent, is the in
SEPARATION of their work nothing need
be expected of them in any effort at
remedying the evil.
The issue should be taken before
the people. those who have homes and
wives and children to protect from the
foul work of the murderer, and no
candidate should be elected to the
legislature unless he is fully commit
ted to a drastic reform in our whole
system of criminal laws that will
give society fair chance in an issue
with the murderers in the courts of
the country
Our civilization is going from bad
to worse every day in the year be-
cause that chance is now denied.

In your paper of the 10Th inst, you
quote Hon. Duncan u. Fletcher, presi-
dent of the Mississippi to Atlantic In

said at the Columbus convention that
the Florida snip canal would cost five
million dollars. This is al error. Mr..
Fletcher said: One estimate says
the canal can be dug for fifty million
dollars" The authority quoted was

this sum as the cost of ship canal

Any cub reporter on an American

Any cub reporter on an American
metropolitan newspaper will know
how to sympatnize with Emperor
William. The latter has merely been
called down by his managing editor,
Count Won Buelow, for writing indis-
Greet things in the generous ardor of
his unframed impulses, and that is
just what frequently happens to the
cub reporter. The kaiser has had the
first keen incision made in his inordi-
nate vanity and abnormal self-esteem,
with the foremost political surgeon of
the German empire to perform the
opeMtion, and while he WINGED and
bled freely. he needed just that treat
ment and the result will be good for
both him and the people. Public opin-
ion is greater even than kaisers with
their "divine right" illusions in this
age of the world, and when the great
German people rise up and roar their
disapproval of the indiscreet talk of
their ruler he does well TO heed the
sound and take on a more modest
tone.

Richard Croker has arrived in New
York, says he is out of politics for
ever, and that he will spend six
months in this country. mostly insCal-
ifornia and Florida. The first half of
his statement is excellent and the
wisdom of his second half only quail
lied by his error in judgment in not
resolving to spend the entire six
months in this state. Why any man
of good taste should want to spend
half of his six months winter layoff
outside, of Florida when he can put
in the whole of it on the inside is hard
to understand.

The New York World gives the fig
ures in advance and says that the con-
tributions to the late democratic ma
tional campaign were 100000, con-
tributed by $4,000 people in sums of
% cents to $4,000. The contribu-
tons to the republican national cam
paign were largely in excess of a
million dollars and were contributed
by $4,000 people. These figures indi-
cate clearly which of the two great
parties stand nearest to the masses.
The trusts and their allies of course
put up for the republicans-nobody
doubts that-and it is. equally certain
that the money for the other side
came in almost pathetically small
sums from the victims of the trusts
and their allies. Figures, mere fig
ures, in the prosaic affairs of life,
were never so eloquent before.

OF Sunday gave the interesting
news that Andrew Carnegie had mod
estly confessed that he was toiling
over magazine article soon to ap-
pear which was designed to prove that
the tariff on steel ought to be re-
moved. In the interest of orthodox
democracy and seeing that we have
no steel works in Florida to be pro-
tected We are inclined to agree with
Andrew, but as he made his own pile
out of that same protection on steel
it seems like base ingratitude on his
part to take such a position.
