A Very Important
Supreme Court Decision.

1t is pleasing TO know that the
United States supreme court still
shows profound respect Cor the con-
stitution. 1t shows itself to be what
it was created to be; the very bull
wark of the government; the final ar
bitter on whose patriotism and purity
depends the peTpetuatiOn Of American
institutions. The decision of this
court in the Powell case Monday will
be received with joy by every states
man who cherishes the wisdom shown
by the fathers in accentuating the
sovereignty of the states, their invioI-
allie control of their individual af-
fairs.
Robert Powell, as a citizen of Ala
bama, took part in a mob that lynch
ed negro in Huntsville. He WAS i'll
dicted by the United States grand jury
on the ground taat he had violated
the fourteenth amendment inaSmuch
as he had helped to deprive the vic
tim of the mob of right to trial by
! due process of law. An attempt was
! also made if we remember Alright, to
emphasize this contention by exploit
| ing the fact that the mob victim was
a negro and that vengeance was visit
ed upon aim because of mis- color.
| With very good sense the United
! States circuit court held that the
fourteenth amendment could not be
| brought thus to bear against a citizen
1 OF a state, the state, being vested
! with sovereign police powers and with
the sole right TO try and punish its
own citizens for the infractiOn of its
laws. The supreme court has sustain,
/ Cd this decision. The outcome is q
victory for the constitution and will
no doubt cOnfound many who sympa
thize with and do all in their power
/ to nelp the HamiltOnian leaders il
/ their efforts to belittle the states and
centre all power in the federal gov

Sanford's New Railroad.

One of the greatest factors in San
ford's march of progress is the San
ford & Everglades railroad that is
now being built through part of the
famous celery delta to Lake Jessup.
The rails are being laid and are near
ly to Beardail avenue. Next week the
work will be pushed rapidly and the
road will be finished this month to
the lake, thus giving the growers an
outlet for their products. The en-
CINE and fiat cars are now in opera
ton and greatly facilitate the work
by hauling supplies TO the front.
Everywhere along the line OF the new
road houses are being built and land
taken up and cleared, and this sec
ton will soon assume the appearance
of a city of beautiful homes and gar
dens.-Sanford Herald

nal Sunday morning.
If the individual referred to had

manhood, to come to The Journal
with his complaint he might have
learned a few pertinent facts that
have evidently not yet penetrated his
understanding. Instead, however, he

that are living a great deal better
than many of the natives" of the Deep

written to friends in Indiana advising
them not to come to Pensacola as
there is something worse than yellow
fever here"
