In Hands of People

The question of judicial discretion
can never be the same. 1t was stated
long ago that decision of Judge in
chancery would differ from another
Judge just as the size of his feet would
differ. If the people place this power
of discretion in the hands of those who
do not know how to use it, they must
expect the natural result of injustice
and inequality.
Some judges of the superior court
are noted for their severe attitude
toward the criminal class For in
stance, take Judge Austin of Fresno

Those who went up to the court
house Tuesday evening to hear the
temperance orators from Stetson UNI,

the manner in which the entertainment
for such it was conducted. Instead OF
some wild-eyed fanatics denouncing the
''demon rum, it's makers, sellers and
users, they found four prepossessing

melody, faultlessly rendered. More
songs and chants followed, after which
Mr.. A. Y.Milam, of Jacksonville, spoke
More songs followed. and then Mr..
Frank Wideman. of DeLand, spoke,
They made no attempt at oratory, there
were no eyes raised to heaven and voices
trembling with feigned emotion, which
so many temperance speakers assume;
the speaking was logical and convinc-
ing. the statistics telling the quotations
used were the opinions given by supreme
court justices and other eminent men:
The liquor question was reviewed in all
its aspects in such mastery, agreeable
manner that every word went to the
hearts. and the arguments were so con-
vincing that that they were bound to
accomplish their purpose. :,
Two of the quartet, Messrs. Doyle f.
Carlton, of Wauchula, and H. c. Gar
wood, of Green Cove Springs, did not
sneak, as on account of the threatening
weather it was desired not to prolong
the meeting. Every seat was occupied
by delighted hearers and every song
and address was honored with deafenng
applause. The songs "The Melon on
the Vine" and "Your Necktie is Up
Behind" were especially well receiv "a,

last night Of Csstenge Ficarotta and
Angelo A!hano, two prominent Italians
who have been prominent in the cigar
strike here. The Nnching was so
quietly planned and executed that tho
authorities have little hope of arresting
the lynchers.
Both men were arrested late in the
evening 6v a deputy sheriff, charged
with being accessories to The shooting
of j. D. Easterling, the bookkeeper of
BuStiIlo Brothers and Diaz, several
days ago. They were locked up in the
West Tampa barracks for time and
shortly after 8 O'Clock were taken out,
placed in a hack and started toward
the county Jail in Tampa. They were
accompanied by Deputy Sherffs Evans
and Bryan.
When the hack in which the the four
men were riding reached Howard and
Grand Central avenues squad of armed
men, fifty or sevenry.fve in number,
haulted the party. The officers were
told to get out. and the driver ordered
to turn around. The prisoners, hand
cuffed to each other, were then ordered
to aight.
As the two prisoners we've marched
off the officers hurried to the nearest
telephone and sent message to police.
When Police Chief Woodward arrived
at the scene no live man was in sight.
He was greeted with the gruesome sight
of two bodies swinging in the moonlight.
When the bodies were cut down after
two hours it was found that the neces-
sity for hanging both to the same limb
arose when the mob failed in an effort
to sever the chain connecting their
hands. Ficarotta had this pipe gripped
firmly in his teeth and wore his hat.
Following the discovery of the bodies
wild excitement reigned here. At mid
night crowd of 1000 had gathered
and tensity of feeling. resultant from
the strike now on here was evidenced.
Ficarotta and Abano, it is charged,
have made themselves CONSPICUOUS re-
Gently in the labor troubles between
the manufacturers and the cigar makers.
On the bodies of Albano and Ficarotta
the following placard was pinned: Be-
ware; if any more of our citizens are

THE WHlSKEy CROWD
DODGES REAL ISSUES

How slick the whisky crowd are in
attempting to dodge the real issue OF
fine prohibition question. They are
continually endeavoring to confuse the
public mind regarding the evils OF the
booze traffic by comparing its harmful
effects upon the individual user with
the harm also wrought upon the indl'
vidual by overindulgence in tobacco. tea
or coffee. or the habit of overeating.
After making such silly comparison,
these whisky editors Immediately set
nm loud yelp to the effect that if booze
is to be prohibited, tobacco, tea, coffee,
etc should also be outlawed as de-
trimental. Here is where the whisky
press lodges the main issue. for no
prohibitionist who possesses a thlmble-
mi of brains is seeking to prohibit.
whiskey drinking primarily because Of
IT'S harmful effect upon the individual
using it, but rather because 1t is menace
to society at large.
An criminal law is in reality q prohii'
hilton upon certain acts of the individ'
,ials, which are generally recognized as
an infringement upon the rights and
nrivileaes of others. Thus we have
prohibition upon murder, theft, arson,
etc. vet in spite of existing prohibitory
laws. these crimes are continually CON-

should be abolished, as prohibition
doesn't prohibit"
The primary purpose of law is for
the protection of the rights of the indi-
vidual from being encroached upon by
another. If a man overeats he violates
no criminal law, as no one than NM
self directly suffers from the effect OF
of his indiscretion. If we admit, for
sake of argument, the undoubted i'll
effects upon the human system of excess
sive use of tobacco, tea and coffee. still
the individual who uses these articles
to excess commits no crime against
society, as he alone must suffer the
consequences. If the drinking of intox-
icating liquors were attended with no
further evil consequences than drowsi-
ness and swelled head for the tippler,
the prohibition of the whisky traffic
would be matter of small consequence;
but when it is universally admitted that
fully seventy-fve per cent of all the
crime in the calendar is directly caused
by the whisky traffic, the necessity for
prohibiting the sale of intoxicants will
readily be seen.
Intoxicating drink, as the greatest
known crime breeder, is an encroach-
ment upon the rights of others and a
menace to public safety, hence should
be outlawed by stringent prohibitory
enactments. When it can be shown
that the use of tobacco, tea, coffee, and
the habit of overeating are directly re-
sponsible for a large proportion ofcrime.
poverty and the filling of our jails,
police courts, almshouses and insane
asylums with paupers, criminal and i'm
beetles, as the drink traffic has done.
then it will be time enough to talk OF
prohibiting these latter things also.
The drink evil in its consequences is,
generally speaking, an encroachment
upon the rights of society. The over.
indulgence in tobacco, tea, coffee, and
the habit of overeating, though person
ally harmful, are not menace to So
ciety and therefore cannot in any way
be compared with the drink evil. Why
don't these whisky papers talk sense!
They seem to have no sense OF discrim-
ination between habit which is only
personally harmful and one which in its
effect is an infringement upon and
menace to the rights of society. : The
American Eagle.

A TAFT ENDORSEMENT.

Colonel Roosevelt was implored upon
to take part in the contest in the Re-
publican camr in Ohio. He announced
that he would not but expressed the
hope that the Ohio Republican state
convention would adopt progressive"
platform James A. Garfield, secretary
OF the interior in the Roosevelt cabinet,
and one of the intimate friends of the
colonel, who was also a candidate for
the Ohio gubernatorial nomination, has
expressed the opinion that the platform
adopted by the Ohio Republicans is
ominenIly satisfactory to himself and
his friends.
That platform is the strongest en-
dorsement of the administration of
President Taft that has yet been writ
ten, and goes SO far as to endorse him
for a denomination in 1912 All of the
many and great accomplishments of
President Taft are mentioned in detail

himself to be a progressive in the Re-

in this and other parts of the nation.
