the EXEMPTION LAW.

A writer In one Of FlOrida's lead
ing dailies addressed the editor rel
alive to debt-dodging. calling atten
ton 20 the $1,000 exemption Law
which shields dishonest and law
made dead-beats. Unless a man d
worth $1,000. he cannot be sued for
a debt. and so. when a merchant lets
out his goods on time or promises
he never knows whether he will be
paid for them or not. says The MI
ami Metropolis.
Men all over Florida make good
use OF this disgraceful law, and owe
nearly all the merchants In town
and never pay one. although they
draw good salaries or make a good
living az their trades. a man may
buy an automobile. a Jersey COW. OF
anything be pleases. but you must
not touch his salary. An honest man
pass his debts and needs no law
The debt.dOdgers are not honest men
and need a law TO land them behind
iron bars where they belong unless
they pay their debts.
Very few white men take advant
age OF this law unless they are act
ually OF the dead-beat variety. The
honest, straightforward man. who
knows he owes a debt and tries "a
settle Il as best he can, needs ma
such law. Il Is the dead-beat who
needs the law. but he should not have
Il 90 protect him.

AN ACT OF JUSTICE.

The Times Union takes the follow
ing view 81 the attitude Of the Legis.
Iature relative 90 the WALES claim:
we do not know the merits Of the
WALES claim against the State Of
Florida. We know that Col Wales
vas employed TO collect the Indian
War claim. and that after years Of
effort for the collection Of this claim.
Congress az last passed an act making
an appropriation for It's payment.
The claim has been paid. but We do
not know 60 what extent the efforts
OF Col. WALES contributed 20 the ulti.
mate success Ga making the collec-
tion.
"All this r. a matter for proof. and
the tribunal for the submission Of
proofs Is a court Of the State that
can hear testimony given under oath.
and make It's decision on the merits
OF the evidence unfettered by any
other consideration. The Legislature
made a mistake when Il refused 20
open the courts 10 a consideration OF
this. case. and Il may have done a
grievous wrong.
The Legislature made a mistake.
for q put itself in the attitude either
Of doubling the fairness OF the Florida
judges or the intelligence Of the Flor
ida Jurors. or else Il put itself on
record as favoring robbery. This Is
a dilemma from which the Legisla-
ture cannot escape; which horn will
Il choose? Does Il think that Col.
WALES has no Just claim against the
State, but that he could corrupt a
Florida Judge or deceive a Florida
jury and win q judgment to which
be is not entitled; or does Il wish
TO take the position Of rObbing the
claimant OF his rights?
I'VE would not like 70 take either
horn Of the dilemma. and we hope
the Legislature win yet reconsider
its action. We are sure the people
who elect the Senators and repre-
sentatives In the Legislature would
not have the State repudiate It's just
debt. and we are equally sure that
they have not IN a civil action a sus-
piciOn OF the courts such as the ac-
ton Of the Legislature implies"

SOUVENIR COLLECTORS, BE

There have geen visitors at the farm who ave thought nothing of pulling a 4--a;her from a bird and concealing it Jeneath their coats as a sort of souvenir of the visit That the feathers are worth anywhere from s to s25 does not seem to have made any difference with these sou
 venir collectors. The particular bit of mischief that has aroused the officers of the company happened last Satur- day. Five or six young men, who had apparently just returned from hunt ing trip, walked around the fence and pulled out feathers from all the birds within reach. D. D. Horning, super intendent of the farm, has offered a reward of s25 for the arrest and con viction of any members of this party. Tn addition a reward of S25 has been offered by the company for the ar rest and conviction of any one found stealing feathers from the birds.

His Long Journey to Make Twenty.
 Minute Speech.

C., Feb. 13.-After a railroad journey of $50 miles in each, direction, taken for the purpose of making a twenty minutes speech on the occasion of the laying of the cor nerstone of the memorial building on the site in LaRue county, Kentucky, of the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln, President Roosevelt and wife and daughter returned to Washington this afternoon. The trip consumed just fifty hours.
 The return trip was practically with out incident, the most interesting event being a brief speech to railroad em- ployes at Harrisburg, Pa. In this ad- dress. which lasted little more than a minute, the president spoke of the rail- road man as model type of American citizenship, and said that because of his alertness, self reliance and will lingness to obey orders, he was just the sort of a man that would be most useful in the case of another war, which, however he hoped would never occur.

THE LAW DAY SESSION
 0F THE DISTRICT COURT

The only interesting matter before the district court yesterday was a decision by Judge Kent with refer ence to homestead rights, a matter which has been in confusion on ac- count of two statutes bearing upon that subject and which it has been the practice of attorneys to read to- gether.
 This question came up in the mat ter of the estate of Amos Dye, in which the widow had applied to have her homestead right recognized as against her minor children. Her petition was filed under the section which provides that when d home stead has been selected by either husband or wife, on the death of either, the property goes to the sur vivor intact.
 Objection was made in this case that there had been no selection. no declaration by the husband under the circumstances elsewhere described and that therefore the property would have to be divided among the wife and the heirs, as the law directs.
 In the case of Annie E. Hadsell against B. A. Hadsell, the plaintiffs motion, for temporary alimony, was denied. In the matter of l. Krasne against the Home Fire Insurance company of Phoenix a demurrer was submitted. The suit of J. L. Cant against w. w. Bruner and others was dismissed on ;he motion of the plaintiff. A divorce was granted Ed ward Rudolph from Ella Rudolph on the ground of desertiOn. On the grounds of abandonment and failure to support, Ramona Robles was granted a decree in her suit against Simon Robles.
