ClarK's Popularity.

The Jacksonville Metropolis Of last
Thursday contained the following refer
ence to Congressman Frank Clarke's
recent visit to that city:
THAT popularity has it's penalties was
thoroughly proven by an experience or
Congressman Frank Clark and a Me-
trOpolis representative during the silver
tongued representatives. visit to the
city last week.
Meeting Mr.. Clark at the Aragon
Hotel, the Metropolis man asked him
for an interview on certain subjects,
and suggested he visit the Metropola
Office. The invitation was accepted,
and Mr.. Clark Immediately called q cab
in which to make the short trip OF three
blocks.
"'Why do you call cab, asked the
newspaper man. Are you Ill, or are
YOU trying TO die poor upon a Congress
mans s9laryT
"cNo: but IL were to start afoot to
the Metropolis Office ] would be stopped
no less than fifteen times, and we'd lose
several hours, was the reply.
1.-THE Congressman and scribe then
entered the cab, and before the horses
had passed the pOstoffice two men, IN
cluiing Msyor Sebring, had stopped TO
interview Mr. Clark on some subject OF
more or less Importance. Before the
Metropolis office was reached exactly
seven stops were made, and the trip
consumed exactly thirty-hve minutes
From this experience Il would seem
that political popularity isn't so much
worth having after all.

IS Notwithstanding our opposition to Mr..
Bryan as a presidential candidate. we
accord to him many expressions which
have been Of great value to his country.
The following on The Presidents latest
message is particularly worthy OF con-
sideration: President Roosevelt has
sent to Congress a message which an
nounces a new and dangerous doctrine.
It is the duty Of every publisher and
every believer in free speech and free
press to resent the Presidents attempt
to use the Government to terrorize
those who would criticize the action OF
public officials. No official can claim
exemption from criticism merely be-
cause he is an official, and no act Of tho
! Government is 90 sacred that the hum
; blest citizen may not express an advers'
2 opinion upon it. It is a matter Of httl'
: consequence whether the charges mad
by the World are true or false-that
8 be determined by suit at law IN the a
q binary way-but it lie a matter Of grea
E importance that every editor and ever,
I. other individual shall be free to expires
= his opinion on any subject eonnecte
r with public affairs."

HOPE HE NAY GET THERE.

Acting upon the suggestion OF Inc
Democrat, that John Collins, former
editor of this paper, should be given a
lucrative position by the incoming State
administration, the professional breth-
rem and scores of admiring friends be-
side from every section of the State
have, by urgent letters to the governor
elect, given strong endorsement to the
movement.
The letters, in the main, have not
been quasi endorsements only, but per-
sonal requests for his appointment,
urging that he was not only mentally
and physically qualified for almost any
work that might be assigned him, but
he deserved thic recognition on account
of his long, answering and disinterest-
ed service to the better element OF the
Florida Democracy.
And be it said to their credit, many
prominent republicans of the city anC
State, recognizing the worth of the
gentleman and his sturdy honesty, have
also joined in petitioning the incoming
governor to include John Collins in ms
list of appointments.
The many personal friends OF this ed
itor are very hopeful of the result.

WHAT CONSTITUTES REAL MERCY,

The True Democrat gives space on
first page of this edition to a requested
defense of the State Pardoning Board.
The article is beautifully written and
is polished in sentiment, but the con-
tention of the author that there has
been a two severe condemnation of this
board will not be upheld by discrimi
mating public.
The merciful nature of man is re-
Elected in the creation Of this board.
The legislative body of our State gov
eminent, fresh from the people, recog-
nized its need. That there are occasions
for the exercise of judicial clemency
none but an unreasonable man will deny.
When a mans punishment has been
commensurate with his crime, the pun
ishment should cease, and it sometimes
happens that these conditions are met
before the sentence of the courts are
executed. To determine these condi-
tons is the province of the State Par
doning Board.
Without considering the merits or de-
merits of any particular application The
True Democrat takes the position that
it would be practically impossible to
convince the public that fifty out OF
, ffty-two applications for unconditional
pardon, were just and deserving cases.
That the individual members Of the
board thought 80, we do not for one
moment question. The sentiment which
has heretofore actuated them is elo'
ouently given expression to in the per
; picture of Mr.. King. But a discrimi
mating public cannot wholly endorse
this sentiment, or withhold its judgment
] from the membership of a pardonint
/ board which cannot or will not discrlmi
: nate in questions Of such great concern
If the present methods Of Florida
Pardoning Board are continued, 1t woul'
= be Just as we'll to abrOgate every cour
D in the State and let lawlessness rul
: riot.

: mercy for the convicted felOn, bat Tn

q mercy for those who want the lives an

tected.
