The veteran argument that if you
drive the saloons out of the town you
cripple the business interests Of that
town, has long ago had the hfe knocked
out Of it by the logic Of prohibition
communities bettered in every by the
enforced departure Of the SalOOns-a
rule without an exception. But Gov
enOr HOch, of Kansas, gets in behind
this threadbare argument with such
force and cleVerness that what he says
cannot be too widely read:
THE devil never invented a bigger
lie than that the saloon is essential to
the financial success of the community.
The business world is now a great
temperance society. No railroad com
pany wants q drinking employee; no
merchant a drinking clerk; no one In
terested in a bank a drinking official;
and the saloon keeper himself would
not ride comfortably on arailrOad train
if he knew that the engineer had a bot
tie of whiskey in his pOcket." .

The slayers Of Carmack up in Ten
nessee are likely to be acquitted be-
cause of the reasonable doubt as to
who fired first which the evidence is
pretty sure to create in the minds of
the jurors. Young COOper's testimony
is positive that Csrmack was the first
to shoot, but as his neck is at stake,
perhaps he isn't telling the truth. The
State made out strong case Of con-
spiracy to murder, with the inference
almost irresistible that Carmack did
not fire first, and there you are. Guilt
must be proved beyond a reasonable
doubt, but young COOper's straight stO-
~, mistaken by crosS-examinatiOn,
may have created Just that kind of a
doubt. Even an unreasonable doubt
might serve the purpose, for the men

PROTECTION THAT DESTROYS.

EhUlECIlUN luAA I'D NJ 4 d
A Chicago correspondent Ofthe 0cala
Banner who formerly lived IN Florida,
thinks highly Of the State and its peO-
pie and Is an orthodox democrat, has
written a letter to that paper which is
noteworthy in more ways than one and
contains food for very serious thought
on the part Of the citizens Of Florida.
He protests against the protective tar
il on lumber not only as being contra
y tOa fundamental democratic doc
trine, but as resulting in q policy Of
rapid and ruinOus waste Of our resOur-
ees and destruction Of our forests for
which there can be no adequate COM
pensation and which this and succeed
ing generations will bitterly and VRinly
regret. Saw-milling is one Of our lead
ing industries in Florida, and it is not
popular to say anything that would
seem to discourage it, but twenty or
thirty years hence when the SaW-mills
have been dismsntled because the for
ests have vanished, we will see more
wisdom in the following from the Chi
cage mans letter in the 0cala Banner
than most Of US do now:
"A protective tariff is robbery at
best, but on lumber it is worse. It not
only makes it harder for a poor man to
obtain home or improve his farm, but
denudes our forests and impOVerishes
the country for the immediate benefit
Of a few saw-mill owners. FlOrida's
wealth as a healthresOrt depends large
ly on its pine forests, and aside from
that, every pine, cypress, oak, hickory,
ash, elm and every other tree now
growing in Florida will be needed for
the development Of the State. With
reasonable conservation Of the natural
advantages Of Florida it is only a CUES
ton Of few years when its population
will be increased many fold. The eyes
Of the world are being turned to its
many advantages, and soon a stream
Of immigration will be pouring in upon
you that viii make a home demand for
every available tree.
'The expectation of lumber should
at once cease. It might seem a hard
ship to those who have large invest
ments in Saw-mill property, but every
tree is worth double as much standing
as it is cut into lumber. 1t is not very
many years since northern Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota were covered
with a dense growth Of Norway and
white pine, mostly the latter. It is
practically all gone, though much of it
would cut 1900 feet to the acre. Flor
ida pine will not average more than
1000 feet, and one half, at least, is cut
of, and Florida is an unsettled State.
Were all the pine and cypress standing
that has been cut in Florida it would
sell today for more than double the
money realized for the lumber. | be-
lieve there is not a mill owner in your
State that will dispute that assertion.
Better for Florida could there be placed
a heavy tax on every foot of lumber
exported; better still could the expOr-
tatiOn be prohibited.
Congress is framing laws for the
conservation Of the forests, and you
are asking your representatives to en-
act or retain a law which aids the de-
struetiOn Of your most valuable tim

A dispatch from Wesson, Miss, says
thal a ben seventeen years old which
had laid 1850 eggs during its useful
hfe. died there the other day, and its
bercsyed mistress gave it a formal fu-
neral al which all the family were
m0Umers and the deceased hen was
committed to the earth in a rosewood
coffin. There are men Of our acquain-
lance who have not done nearly so
much for the good of the human race,
nor even for their own families as this
humble Mississippi hen, and if they can
get funerals that will stint their wild
ows TO pay for, it would seem in equity
and good taste that the much more use
ful hen, beloved and respected by all
Who knew her, should be entitled to
obseQuies equally as formal and i'm
pressive. The loss Of the family hen
or the family COW is sometimes a more
serious matter for the living from an
economic point Of view than the loss Of
the family husband and father. Hence,
Al hail the hen, and universal homage

OBJECTIONS TO UNIFORMITY
As a System for Books in Our Florida
Public Schools.


On its face a uniformity book meas
ure is a very seductive proposition, but
it is like the voice of a siren that leads
one to ruin. It's advocates, of course,
have arguments to use in its favor, but
when the fallacies are removed there
remains nothing tenable or Of value.
State after State in the North and
West, listening to the seductive argu-
ment, have adopted this system in turn
to repudiate it as dangerous and i'm
practicable. The States Of Miss Juri,
Washington, Michigan and West Viz
ginia have just recently overthrow
State uniformity into which they were
unwittingIy led. Indiana is the only
Northern State east of the Rocky
mountains that supports suehs system,
and an effort is now being made to re-
peal the law there. The system was
adopted in Alabama, the State from
which the present editor of the True
Democrat came, few years ago and
fOisted upon the people set Of books
objectionable in their contents and of
very inferior quality. It established a
monopoly hurtful to the business inter-
ests Of the State and became a con-
slant source Of annoyance to the peO-
pie. It was found absolutely necessary
to amend the bill at the succeeding ses-
sion of the legislature. The patrons Of
the school are still decrying it, and We
believe will demand the repeal of the
entire measure at the next session of
the legislature.
A State that is as great geographic
ally and as varied in its interests as
Florida could not well afford to adopt
a uniform system Of books. A system
that would suit the people Of Leon
might be altogether Objectionable to
the people Of Dade, DeSOtO, Lee and
Monroe counties. And what would be
satisfactory in the rural districts would
very likely be exceedingly Objectionable
in the cities.
The leading educators Of the country
are antagonistic to uniformity, deciar-
ing that it tends to despOtism, corrup-
ton and intellectual death.
But the system now in vogue in Flor
ida is not without its defects. To rem.
edy them was the purpose of the Hum
phreys bill introduced at the last ses
/ sion Of the legislature, and which faiIeC
/ Of passage only on account of the i'm
mensity Of business on the calendars
ahead of it. The State convention 0.
county superintendent of education
and other school officers, held in thi.
city In 1907, endorsed the bill of Sena
tor HumphrieS-only three member
voting against it out of the lO8 dele
gates in attendance. Of the three CD
posing it, one has left the State, on
who did 50 for selfish considerations i

third was defeated by his people in tn,
election of last year.
Hon. ". N. Sheats, who was Stat
superintendent of public instruction
just prior to the election Of Mr.. Hollo
way, was a strong declaimer agains
State uniformity. His annual report
show some absolutely unanSwerable ar
/ guments against the system.

perintendent, is just as antagOnistie i
his views, believing that the adoption

The Perry Herald says that there is
very little foundation in fact for the
story of inhuman treatment to the con-
yict Dudley in the Taylor county camps,
as recently published in the DeFuniak
Breeze, and that the inspectors had
thoroughly investigated the case and
found that Dudley had cOncOcted the
yarn to win sympathy for himself.
Maybe 50, and for the sake of decent
human nature and our convict system
We hope the fellow was lying from start
TO finish in the fearful tale Of cruelty
he told; but how is this theory consis-
tent with the statement of the DeFu-
ak Herald that when Dudley got back
to DeFUniak from the convict camp his
mind was a wreck and he had lost the
use of his lower limbs? The humane
treatment to which cOnvicts are entitled
does not usually result in imbecility anC
paralysis.

Taft and the Sugar Trust.

Dispatches announcing the deter
mination of the Taft administration
to collect every penny of penalty due
from the sugar trust are welcome
reading.
This trust for 20 years has robbed
the people of the United States under
special license of high tariff protec-
ton, while at the same time 1t de-
frauded the government out Of mil
lions of dollars in customs dues by
short-weight swindling and juggled
bookkeeping in the New York custom
house.
The dressmaker caught smuggling
$500 worth of lace is fined heavily and
f~orfeits the lace to the government.
The same kind of justice for the
sugar trust NEAR a penalty of $685.
900, 900.
The people of the United States
would welcome such action, but, in
view of the lamentable lack of re-
suits in all the Roosevelt proceedings
against trusts, there is not likely to
be great popular applause until the
sugar trust fine is in the United
States treasury and a few of its high
officers in a federal penitentiary.

Is Taft a Standpatter7

One cannot help detecting, in the
wake of President Taft's nationwide
tour, an ~undercurrent of popular dis
trust in his progressive" policies.
President Taft is we'll versed In the
art of making platitudes seem like the
~utterances of a vigorous reformer.
The people like his good nature, and
are inclined to be lenient with his re-
dundant oratorical periods that sig
nifty little.
Down the Mississippi valley we find,
however, some keen critics declaring
absolute lack of faith in President
Taft's grandiloquent promises of deep
waterway national policy, They look
beyond the presidents glittering gen.
eralities and see enthroned at Wash
ington a little company of stand pat"
senators and representatives who are
sworn enemies of any legislation that
does not bring pork to their barrel.
Further, they have heard President
Taft publicly hold up to popular adu-
lation the greatest standpatter of them
all-Aldrich of Rhode Island. They
know Aldrich, and are compelled to
modify their regard for a president
who will stand sponsor for him.
The next query We are likely to
hear discussed is whether or not Pres
ident Taft is a "s~tandpatter" himself
