Quite a Concession
to Sober Reason.

The Journal is glad to note that
the Tampa Tribune no longer defends
Congressman Clark in his defiance of
his party, but confines its support to
the congressman's position on the
tariff which he defined in these
words:
] will tell you what / said to my
people and what they said to me;
AS long as a protective tariff system
prevails in this country, as long as
articles. We have to buy are taxed, as
long as my people have to bear the
burdens of it, they say that we ought
at least to have a division of the
benefits.
There is some show of reason in
that sort Of talk, and Mr.. Clark has
others who agree with him in the po-
sition he has assumed-we will not
stop to argue the point. But it IS
certain that in his more radical utter
ance in congress, as reported by the
Associated Press, he will find few
sympathizers in this part of the coun-
try and must indeed look for applause
from the very place whence the Tri-
bune says it comes, the republican
side of the house. That staunch old
democrat, General E. NJ. Law, voices
the opinion of the overwhelming ma
jority of democrats in the following
clipped from his paper, the Barlow
r-Informant:
If he is correctly reported, Con-
gresham Frank Clark has been in
dulging in some very wild talk in the
discussion of the tariff bill now under
consideration in the house. To Franks
old friends and acquaintances in Polk
county his denunciatiOn of pOpuIism
strongly suggests the old saying
about Satan reprOving sin. We en-
terrain the warmest personal friend
ship for Frank Clark, and sincerely
regret to see him make such a break;
but, in. denouncing Mr.. Bryan, DEFY
ing the party to which he claims TO
belong and announcing his readiness
to sacrifice principle for Doodle, he is
surely preaching his own funeral ser
mon as if his political corpse had al
ready passed through the hands of
the undertaken.
Unity, We say again: absolute, or
ganized, indestructible, aggressive
unity on the part of democrats is the
vital call of the hour. No man has a
right TO set his own opinions above
those of the combined wisdom of his
party and still proclaim himself
democrat-"Old fashioned" or any
other kind. We wish victory, and

Special to The Journal.

Tallahassee, April 14,-SpeakeT Ion
FaTris, of the house, is making good
his expressed determination that no
favOritism shall be shown in any of
his rulings. He has declared that,
when the time set for the hearing of
the submission issue shall arrive, no
-Junketing" excursions shall depIete
the forces Of either side, but all shall
have d square deal.
The SUbmiSSiOniStS reported Mon
day night to the house committee
that they would be ready for a hear
ing on Thursday next, but the Oppo
SitiOn asked for an extended time in
which to receive reports from the
chambers of commerce in Pensacola,
Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West
before any action should be taken by
the house. This request being con-
coded, Thursday afternoon, the 22nd
inst, was appointed as the time when
a hearing shall be granted.
DR.. Edward Conrad the newly
elected president Of the Florida Fe-
male College, is d man eminently
qualified for the important position
to which he has been called. He is a
graduate of Clark University, WOr-
cester. Mass, with the degree of a.
NJ. and Phi. D., and has attended lead
Ing universities III OGEludllN-
His service in Florida has extend
ed over a period of four years. In
1905 he was appointed by the board
of education of HiIlsbOroUgh county
as principal of the St. Petersburg
public schools, succeeding Prof. Jos.
Z. Guisinger, whose seven years
work had built the schools up from
an ordinary grammar school to
high school receiving state aid for the
maintenance of a normal and indus
trial department, and to one of the
largest enroIIments in Florida. Dr..
Conrad took charge after the with
urawal of state aid from all schools
by the Buchanan act, and at a time
when especial fitness in educational
work was required. In spite of ad
verse circumstances, Dr.. ConTadI
kept the schools up to a high stand
ard of excellence, and maintained all
the departments that were carried
on before the withdrawal of state aid,
the schools showing a constantly in
creasing enrolment until the attend
ance is now about 500. His popular
ity amongst the educators of the
state was very great, and two years
ago he was elected president Of the
state high school principals assOcia-
ton, and has been prominent factor
in all of the educational conventions,
one of which, in 1907, was held at his
home city. the State Teachers AssO-
citation. He is a man Of advanced
ideas. energetic, conscientious and
kindly, and from all standpOints will
doubtless make most excellent
president for the wOman's college.
DR.. Conrad is a native of New Bre-
men, Ohio, and is still in the full
yigor of life, though mature in his
profession. He is married, and has
two young children His wife is a
lady of the most charming personal
ity. and DR.. and Mrs. Conrad will be
cordially received by the good people
of Tallahassee when they make their
home here.
