United Praise For
Competent Legislators.

The Journal is pleased to repro
duce and Fatify the truth of the fol-
lowing expression from the pen of
Editor Hetheringtou, of the Lakeland
News:
The present speaker of the Florida
house is filling that position in a way
that will not iDiure his future politi-
cal prospects His fairness and hon
esty of purpose, under trying circum-
stances and in delicate situations
that arise in the discharge of his du-
ties, are apparent to all. We con-
slider Mr.. FaTriS in the house and
Mr.. McMullen in the senate, as I'M
usual men, who viii be heard from in
connection with higher positions than
they now occupy. And the same may
be said of the president of the senate,
+. NJ. Hudson.
The gentlemen named have shown
an earnest attention to duty and a
purity of purpose which will endear
them to the people of Florida to a
greater extent than ever before. Such
material is the very best in the body
polite. and it is safe to say that the
prophesy made by the News will
come to pass.

The Tampa Tribune has at last
caught the anti-fy fever and we know
of no better place for q complete ex-
ploitation of the horrors incident to a
visitation of the filthy little winged
maggots than the South Florida me-
tropolis. 1t is said the American
troops encamped there during the
Spanish-American war introduced
flies in large numbers in Tampa, the
place before that time having been
comparatively exempt from their
presence. And it is safe to say this
disease legacy of the soldiers has by
tins time killed far more Tampans
than the soldiers themselves killed

Everybody knows that the tariff on
lumber is low; everybody knows the
tariff on Dineapples and citrus fruits
Is low; everybody knows that this
tariff bears no comparison with the
outrageous protective duties levied on
the pet manufactures of the north and
east; nobody is criticizing Frank
Clark for wishing to retain the pres
ent duty on the first-named commod-
tiles; but everyone who is a conscien-
tious adherent to the democratic
party, loving its principles and living
for them, does most assuredly con-
denim the congressman defiance of
his party's organized forces. 1t would
be best to close the incident and save
some of our newspaper brethren
from further begging the question"
attempting to confuse the issue, all for
the purpose of shielding an individual
who needed discipline and, We hope,
will profit by the good share of it he

That Paris justice who fined James
HaZen Hyde, millionaire. high flyer
and allaround cad, for hitting a taxi
cab with his automobile and severely
inJuring its occupant, merits univer-
sal praise. Hyde's Offense, according
to the justice, was not so much hav-
ing hit the vehicle and hurt the occu-
pant as was his despicable conduct in
not pausing to ascertain what harm
he had done or even to apologize for
his carelessness, but running away
as fast as his machine could carry
him. This is not the first instance of
the kind on record; and those guilty
of such fragrant disregard for the life
and property of others assuredIy de-
serve the seveTest punishment the
law allows.
