TRYING TO KILL THE PRIMARY

LET the voters of Florida remember
that the prohibition amendment upon
which they will pass Judgment on
November Sth. was adopted by the
Florida legislature by all overwhelming
majority eighty Of the one hundred
members voting for it, That Ieglsla-
ture was composed entirely of WHITE
Democrats. who had been selected
hy the WHITE Democrats oft State
You are simply asked to approve what
your representative in the legislature
of 1909 did for you, after they had been
pledged to preform such service.
On the other hand.
Every one of those eighty Democrats
who voted for the amendment, made a
pledge to the people before the primary
that they would so vote. The whiskey
power. aided b. the corporate interests
of the State, did everything that they
could to defeat them. The peoples
representatives won. and passed the
Prohibition Amendment through the
legislature.
The Amendment. is therefore Demo-
cratic measure.
If the saloon crowd were Democrats
they would bow to the will of the ma
jority, and support the amendment.
But not so; they were not Democrats
when they went into the primary, and
they are not Democrats now.
They were defeated BY the WHITE
people of Florida, and realizing that
they could not defeat the amendment
by a vote of the same people, they have

gathered from the siums of the whiskey
centerS.
Now they propose to teach the white
Democrats of Florida few lessons in
Democracy with Is, 900 negro voters.
Will the decency. respectable white
people of Florida submit to such an
outrage?

NARROW ESCAPE FROM
DROWNING IN RAPIDS

Stanley kitching. of Stuart, came
near drowning near the Lake Worth
inlet Wednesday, while endeavoring to
run an anchor from the launch Tar
Heel.
Acting as pilot with the owner of the
launch, Mr.. kitching endeavored to
get to Stuart from West Palm Beach
with some mail and several passengers.
All went well until the canal was
reached, Here tremendous tide
was encountered, which twisted and
turned the little craft with ease. final
ly landing it on a sand bank.
After staying there several hours,
MIR Kitching jumped overheard and
Waded hack towards Lake Worth, with
The anchor, which he proposed to make
fast at some distance, and then pull
the boat off the bank. AS he stopped
ia the vast high water to plant the
anchor. therushing tide unbalanced him.
and he began 10 float seward.
T. 4. Muth, of Buffalo. \. Y, a
passenger on the boat, offered negro
,s5o to 60 to Mr.. kitchings aid, but
after looking at the vicious tide second
the negro declined with thanks. They
were then bel piess. .
Cant. Neloy, on the Stranger humid
red yards distance, was hailed. but he
tailed to understand what was said to
him. the distance between the boats be-
ing too great Finally as last resort,
Mr. MUth pointed towards Mr.. kitch-
ING. who was still making Roadway at
the mercy of the current, towards what
seemed death.
Capt. Meloy looked and saw the
cause for halling him, and Immediately
So. out in small boat, and finally res
cued Mr. Kitching, after he had drift
ed mile and a half, in very few
minutes. Mr.. Kitching suffered in no
way from his experience, but did a
great deal of thinking while he was
floating with the tide to the Land of
Nowhere In Particular. Miami Me-

PERSONAL GUILT.

Ten live stock packers have been In
dicted by the Federal grand jury In
Chicago for alleged violation OF the
antitrust laws. This is a move In the
right direction. Guilt is always per-
sonal, never corporate. Punishment
of corporations by fine, the only prac-
ticable way to punish them, since they
cannot be executed or imprisoned, Is
usually as much a punishment OF the
innocent as 1t 10 of the guilty. This
step has long been delayed; the gov
eminent has exhausted it's efforts in a
vain effort to punish the corporations
as legal entities. Better success will
attend the antitrust crusade IL the
example set at Chicago Is generally
followed.
Attacks on the corporations as men,
bers Of trusts have been of little ben
eft, in fact they have sometimes been
of positive harm. Legitimate bust
ness interests have been injured by
spectacular attacks upon corporate
wealth. II the corporation does any
thing In violation of the law 1t Is zone
at the instance of some Official. There
must always be guilty person some
where, and the only effective way to
prevent corporate transgressions is
to fine and imprison the person who
directs It, inspires or executes the IL
legal act.
Fines assessed against corporations
which are abundantly able to nay
them, but which are usually shrewd
enough to avoid their payment, are
no detrent to crime. There are
instances without number which prove
