An Imaginary "Slur''
and Sentiment"

An amusing conflict has taken
place between United States Senator
Fletcher, of Florida, and the Orlando
Reporter Star. So far the newspaper
has had the last word and it is doubt
full if the senator will come back; for
Editor Howard has shown his usual
brightness and quickness of repartee.
which give an antagonist small Cd
portunity to penetrate his armor.
The senator's most especial griev-
ance greater even than the paper's
criticism Of his now celebrated pine
apple propaganda-was that Editor
Howard designated him as one of the
two tail-end. of the U. S. s." While
we confess. the language is obscure.
yet one would think Senator Fletcher
would have grasped the meaning
without any vast exertiOn OF brain
power Instead OF that he expressed
himself with extreme bitterness and
called attention to the fact in these
words: mo newspaper of any other
state has pronounced any such sIur.
l do not believe you will find a mem
Der Of the senate who will endorse
that sentiment"
And this is the "slur" and "senti-
ment" as explained by Editor How
ard:
As a matter of fact, the senator's
rising pride has oVerstepped his
natural caution, because had he OBJ
served closely he would have known,
as every other person knows, that we
did not slur him, that we did not call
him the tail end" but referred solely
to Florida as the tail or jutting out
point
The Orlando paper attributes this
misconception Of its language to a
rising pride" The Journal does not
believe that that is the trouble. |
Sometimes men become sensitive |
when their conscience troubles them
and then they are apt to find a "sIur"
or even a sentiment" when it was
never intended. The wicked fee that
no man pursueth."

Is it reproach upon the intelli-
gence Of the American people or upon
the judgment of the administration
at Washington that the inquiry into
the Sutton suicide-or murder-was
partly held behind closed doors D.?
Many people are beginning to think
that the grand jury system should be
abolished as the remains Of the old
star chamber and its secret tndict-
ments; how much more to be Ia
mented is secrecy when practised by
a branch of the government chosen
by the people.

Jerome, of New York,
and His Many Critics.

District Attorney Jerome, OF New
York, has had many adverse critics,
It has been claimed that he was
wrong in being loath to prosecute
certain OF the insurance magnates, al
though he stated at the time such
prosecution could not be sustained
under the law and his conclusion was
substantiated by subsequent court de-
cisions. 1t has also been claimed by
these same critics that he was. in
former days. right in" with the Eve
lyn-Thaw-White gang of the Tender
loin- But two things he has done re-
Gently seem to give his enemies a
Knockout blow and they would do
well to think about them. The first
was his refusal in the last Thaw in
Vestigation, as stated in court, to
credit the evidence of the bIackmaiIer,
the Lily Of the TenderIoin, and in a
dispatch published in yesterdays
Journal it was recorded that, by an
interview, he succeeded in closing the
greatest gambling den in New York
one particularly supported in the days
gone by White, Thaw and that
sort of fraternity 1t is altogether
absurd to suppose that if Jerome had
ever had an actual association and
understanding with this class of peo-
pie he would now dare to turn against
them. His fearlessness is strong evil
dence OF righteousness.

Il shell in it's coral home
Were not more close in their prisons

All, well. In the life we live,
My heart to you were a gift ill-star-
If had a heart to give!
We kissed so warm at the parting
iTwere best for us both, I visit:
oh, lad. I fear me the vision STAYS:

Atlanta, Ca. Aug. 18-After having
devoted fifty-eight years of his life to
a study of the solar system. Prof. J.
H. SwindeI, formerly a we'll known
Southern educator, is today a scfs-

deaf several years ago, and was fore
ed to give up his place on the faculty
of a well known Southern university
His study having fitted him for moth
ing better he was forced to take up
mental labor to earn a livelihood when
he could no longer teach.
Even now in his poverty he still
continues his researches and just
lately has published a book in which
he declares that the real distance to
the sun is 95,740,1S0 miles and that
the moon does not TevOlye on an axis.

With fearful, anxious eyes,
And said, NO hope of resting
Until a fellow dies.
A weary world to live in,
A weary way to go;
Though other chaps are lucky.

And while he stood there whining,
As sad as sad could be.
A figure stopped beside him
Called Opportunity,
But got so out Oe patience
At what she heard him say.
She left him where she found him
And went upon her way.

pipe while in a state Of semi demi-

the match into his beard, and straight
way starts a forest fire. To save his

Clapp's rejoinder. The two shook
hands and were delighted to see
each other. Finally Clapp, after
looking at Harper and seeing that
he was logged up unusually good,
said, eff it were dark I would
hold you up. "WelI you have
improved wonderfully since I
first knew you," replied Harper,
for when [ first knew you you
would not wait for it to get dark
to hold me up, but would do the
job in broad daylight. F" Before
the coloquoy, however, reached
the last retort of Harper a crowd
aid assembled and Clapp seemed
to enjoy the real joke as much as
a mutual friend of the pair.
