The next question OF great in

of the legislature is the pension
law. 1t is a foregone conclus-
ion that the present pension law
will be materially changed and
reductions made. Just what
class of pensioners will be most
affected yet remains to be seen.

men who are well-to-do in
worldly goods now drawing a
pension from the State will find
this source of income suddenly

ON TRIAL FORTS LIFE.

ON lNiAL NONAtO LITE
The legislature has adopted
the joint resolution 10 submit TO
the people of Florida cousti-
tutional amendment prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of in
toXicating liquors in this state,
and this amendment will be vot-
ed on the November election,
1910. Nothing could be fairer,
and it has been both amusing
and astonishing to note the
character of argument and The
frantic appeals made by the
liquor element and its allies
against this simple, just and
lawful plan to let the people OF
Florida decide for themselves
this vital question of internal
economy, which they alone have
the right to decide.
To hear the liquor crowd one
would think that submitting this
amendment to be voted upon
was an act of monstrous tyranny,
Of intUlerdble despotism and UNI
warranted trespass upon popu-I
lar rights not to be borne by a
free people-and yet it is pre-
csely the reverse of all this. 1t
is merely carrying toto effect
the right of self government aud
permitting the people to deter
niue for themselves whether or
not they want certain thing.
If the liquor interest is afraid
of the people-and it seems to
be-that fear is tantamount to
a confession that the liquor
traffic is unable to stand on it's
merits and deserves to be abol |
ished.
In this country the ballot box
is the voice of the people, and |
the cause that dares not face it |
is very likely to be an evil |
But, willing or unwill-
ing, the whiskey traffic of Flor
ida has at last been brought be-
fore the whole body of the peo-
pie of Florida to be tried for it's
lite, There is ample time before
the verdict is rendered to bring |
put all the facts in the case on
both sides, to hear all the pleas,
Tor aud against; and, as you can
no more bride a whole people
han you can indict them, we
nay be sure that the verdict
will be a just one. II is idle to
predict the result. Let us await
he event, and, meanwhile, work
% the end that a traffic without
'ne redeemiug feature may be
destroyed in Florida forever
