start the ball TO rolling for the Flor
ida Democracy.
The East Coast Advocate. published
az Titusville. takes the following
view Of the matter:
Mr.. James Alexander. Representa-
tive from Volusia county. has intro
duced a resolution In the House OF
Representatives. censuring Hon. Frank
Clark for his recent utterances in
the National House OF Representa-
tives. when Mr.. Clark was trying 20
get a tariff on Egyptian and other
long staple cotton. and oranges. pine
apples and other Florida products
While some politicians are afraid
% be called a 'Protectionist.' yet Mr.
Clark was right IN doing his duty 20
protect the products OF Florida. even
az the risk Of being called a Pro
tectionist by Champ Clark Of Mis-
souri,. the minority leader. and we
have no doubt but that Mr.. Clark's
constituents will approve his actions,
even II the Legislature should decide
20 censure him.
AS far as his statements about
the Nebraska leader goes, no doubt
the next National Democratic Con-
yentlOn will endorse his utterances. as
after three trials, Bryan has signally
failed TO lead the Democratic party
to victory. and the general opinion
is he has no chance OF ever doing So ."

NEW ORLEANS, April 21.-In-
censed because his stepmother had
left him at home near Opelousas,
Louisiana, in charge of his young
stepbrothers and sisters for the day,
Tom Godfrey, a 12-year-old negro
boy, fed the youngest of his charges
to the hogs and later, with an axe,
inflicted what probably will prove
fatal wounds on the heads of the
other children.
Three children were injured. Tom
was placed in Jail at Opelousas.
The baby's hands and feet had
been eaten off by the hogs wher
found, but it was still alive. The
stepmother straightway whipped
Tom and when she went for a doc
tor to attend the baby Tom seized
an axe and attacked his 6-year-olt
stepbrother, inflicting several deeI
wounds. His young stepsister inter
fered and he crushed her skull will

FATHER PLEADS
FOR ERRING SON
15-YEAR-OLD BOY BERATES HIS
PARENTS FOR KEEPING HIM
OUT OF PRISON.

RENO, April 21.-The spectacle
father for attempting to save him
from the penitentiary sentence for
grand larceny and juvenile callous-
ness to home surroundings in prefer
ence to penal servitude was witness
ed yesterday, when the motion to
have the case of Winfred Halter,
alias William Jackson, indicted for
the theft of valuable paintings from
the Presbyterian church, transferred
to the juvenile court, came up for
hearing.
Young Halter's father made the
long journey from New York state to
Reno in an effort to save his son
from a penitentiary sentence. He
testified that the indicted youngster
was Is years old; that he had attend
ed school at home; had been sent
regularly to Sunday school and that
all the lads home environments were

In answer to his fathers testimony
young Halter berated his father for
his interference in the charge against
him and declared he would not &c
back to New York with his parent in
the event the court should extend
clemency in his case. He declared he
preferred to go to the penitentiary
The question will arise as tt
whether the state of Nevada should
burden itself with the cost of putting
the seemingly incorrigible lad in ;

preference for a trip to the peniten
tiary, the petition of the father for
trial in the juvenile court will b.
withdrawn and the prisoner sentenc
