PENSACOLA FLORIDA WEDNESDAY MORNING. APRIL a.

about one and half per cent to the
mercantile cost Of everything purchaS-
ed outside and brought into the state
What this state needs as mucn as
anything in the world is a system and
administration of laws that will com
pei men 10 pay their debts, that viii
so far as laws can-make business
straight and honest and profitable
and when this condition is brought
about every man who needs money
can get it without going TO loan
shark. The shark would be abol-
isned-
1t would seem useless to argue with
such an opponent, but The Journal
would gently suggest to its apparently
obtuse contemporary that the matter
o. making working people pay their
debts and OF preventing other people
from exacting 4SO-per-cent interest on
loans are two entirely separate and
distinct propositions.
Certainly, people ought to be made
to by their debts if there is any way
OF doing so, but what has that got
to do with permitting a further CON
tinuance of the knOck-dOWn-and-d
out business which is exempIifed in
the 4SO-per-cent loan shark system?
The Times is on the wrong track
and the longer it stays there, the
weaker it gets.

A Contemporaries
Weakening Argument.

From the day the Tampa Times
took up the defense of the loan sharks
business, its argument has been weak
ening every time il has discussed the
subject. The Times has not publish
ed a line Of The Journals argument,
though continuing to attack it, but we
have tried to publish all of our con-
temporary's comment and now take
pleasure in reproducing its latest
ebunition as follows:
We observe that a contemporary is
demanding OF the legislature that 1t
give relief from loan sharks. II might
be a better idea to impose upon the
legislature the duty of enabling men
to collect their debts, TO relieve the
body polite from the man who buys
on credit and never pays. On this
particular point, The Times remem-
bers that it some time ago passed
an opportunity 10 reply TO a question

AN OLD POLITICAL
CLAIM REVAMPED

that he was elected Governor in 1889 and was counted out in Hud
son county. There was more hide bound partsanship in those days
than now. Grubb was defeated by Leon Albeit by 1883 pu.
raliy. In Hudson Abbetts plurality was 1856. A strictly
partisan investigation by a Senate committee showed frauds in
Hudson county, which we're magniaed into the phenomenal differ
ence of ten thousand votes. Mcdonald, for senator, received s,a4O
plurality, and he was unseated on the strength of the committee
report. General Grubb then claimed he had been defrauded, and
SHORTS were made to show enough fraud elsewhere. to wipe out the
Albeit plurality, but they failed. The normal Democratic majority
In Hudson was not less than eight thousand, the majoriies polled
in 1888 and 1890. The truth is that General Grubb was beaten in
Essex and other counties where he had looked for large majorities.
Essex went Democratic by s5s, Union by 7O1, while Somerset,
Morris, Monmouth, Middlesex and Bergen were all Democratic.
Mercer gave Grubb the trifing majority of PSI. If Hudson county
elected by 737 majority.

Freedom Of speech.

N. u, NOy. 10.
To the Editor of the Star:
Sir-There has been so much dis
oussion recently about freedom Of
speech and freedom Of the press
that l think 1t might mot be amiss
to discuss these sssubjects in the
columns of your valuable paper.
Hence l would like to- know how
these constitutional rights and the
statutes harmonize and agree, as it
is evident the; courts look upon
them from a different standpoint
than the masses Of the people. Many
of the States Of. this great country
have called upon the army to force
the people at the muzzle of a gun
and the loss Of much precious blood
to surrender their constitutional
right of freedom of speech. And
e three Of the great leaders of the
American working men are now un-
der sentence to serve a term In Jail,
brought about by exercising that
right. Why, do mot the Anarchists
and Socialists. raise aShowl of oppo-
sition against. this evident destruc-
ton Of rights and let the Ferrer
matter rest, as he was condemned
for violating the law Of the land by
melting the popuiace to revolution
and murder? I.woufd like to ask
whether or not our public school
system, aas at. present conducted, is
a failure?:s Very truly. yours;

true the article deals only with as
sertions. and not with facts, the
tone of supreme assurance adopted
by the writer must carry conviction
even to the wrongdoers themselves.
Those who are c~onyersant with
conditions in New Jersey will be
amazed at the effrontery of the
article. Those who are without such
knowledge, and who love to tear
down rather than build up. will
applaud its ~fearlessness. Some in
nocent people might assert that the
article is not logical; that deduc-
tions are drawn, but no premises
are stated. 1t might also be averred
that donald Dix shows the
familiarity with conditions in this
State that one might absorb while
going through it on a fast rain.
But why raise such fimsy objec-
tons to an article that reads so
smoothly, and which upholds SO
strongly the great leveling policy?
With conditions prevailing else
where j have no complete knowl-
edge, but in the State of New Ter
sey we have courts and judges
whose decisions and conduct are the
admiration of the State and nation.
It will avail nothing to assert that
! Donald Dix's assault upon. our ju-
dietary bad its inspiration in ig-
norance, its conception in vicious
ness and it's execution under the

4 THE VERDICT IN
THE BRAY CASE

by the Council last night, is that there was "a lack of foundation
for the rumors alleged to have prevailed about City Hail." and
that mo further action be taken by Council" The investigation
was prolonged and was so desultory that public interest in it has
we[nigh been lost. The committee has shown great patience in
listening to the testimony and analyzing it, and if the committee
gave all the benefit of the doubt to the accused alderman that
was clearly his right under the circumstances. A member of a
Common Council should be, like Caesars wife, above suspicion.
By the Caesarian marital code Alderman Bray would not receive
a certificate of character, but that would be too severe a rule to
apply to the case of a man in ordinary life whose good name is
in question. An accused official under investigation does not
occupy the same position as the man before court and jury. he
cannot resort to the technicalities of the law. Reasonable evil
dence only is required, and if that is forthcoming, if his guilt is
made plain, he should be SO adjudged. The investigation did not
make perfectly clear the. facts as charged, and the committee
found warrant for returning a verdict of not proven. ~

A SHIP CANAL
ACROSS THE STATE

across New Jersey. The most necessary section of the great work
Should be given precedence. The Rantan canal connects New
York at the head Of Raritan bay with Philadelphia at Borden,
town. For naval purposes it is of supreme Importance that ships
can pass from one port to the other, quickly and without risk from
an enemy. For commercial purposes the inland connection be-.
tween the two cities will be Of vast benefit. Secretary of the Navy
Meyer is to bring this subject to the attention Of the Senate and
House naval committees. He believes there should be two outlets
from the Philadelphia navy yard for our warships, as Delaware
bay might be blocked by an enemy and naval vessels in the Della
ware be bottled up A ship canal across the State would inn
mensely benefit commerce and industrial interests. 1t would build
up towns, make employment for labor and create a large amount
Of taxable property. Why the Rarhan canal traffic has decayed
Is unimportant compared with why the Raritan canal should not
be converted into a shipcanaL
