VIM. A. RUSSELL, Editor.

The fact that Albert Jennings candi-
dacy for the SpcakerShip OF the next
House OF Representatives is being indus
triously urged by Pleasant A. Holt and
others OF Florida'S organized whisky in
terests, will be sufficient in itself TO ac-
complish his defeat That he has that
backing is now generally understood.
From scanning of the list OF members
il is a safe prediction that the coming
Florida legislature will he composed of
an unusual number of able men-mcn
whom the people are counting on for
results. The liquor question will not
be up for settlement in the legislature.
II will have been disposed OF by the pco-
ple-whoSe will the Legislature must
obey. The office of Speaker should
not be filled by blind nationalist, but
BY man of fair and impartial mind,
who can and will elevate the office
above factional pickering and treat all
with fairness and impartiality. That is
all that the friends of statewide prohi-
btion ask, and that is all that the advo-
Yates OF local option have the right TO
expect. Among the candidates for the
SpeakerShip so far named one man Of
experience and reputation for absolute
impartiality has been mentioned. He is
the Hon. Eugene S. Matthews of Brad
ford county, Speaker OF the LegiSla-
ture in 1907. Mr.. Matthews is a man
of opinions and the ability 10 voice
them nightly and without giving Of
Tense in his Bradford County Telegraph.
In the office of Speaker he was the same
urbane, dignfied, yet fair and firm pre-
siding officer. 1t is doubtful if man
ever vacated the SpeakcrShip more hon
ored by his associate members than was
Mr. Matthews at the close OF the session
OF 1907. What Florida wants in that
office is a fair man-onc who will rule
in all fairness and impartiality. Such a
man is Hon. Eugene S. Matthews OF
Bradford, independent OF where he may
stand on the proposed amendment TO
Article XIX.

Three thousand people, representing
all ages, saw Lawrence Dargan, negro,
legally put to death in Palatka last Fri.
day. The man had committed the crime
OF murder, the law had fixed his pun
iShment at death by hanging and had
designated the sheriff of this county
(where the crime was committed as the
instrument for carrying out its mandate,
That the execution was accomplished
smoothly, without accident TO or need
less torture OF the victim, is evidence
that the high sheriff was impressed with
the responsibility and awful significance
OF his Job. That the sheriff didn't like
ii, we know from his own lips. Who
would? What doth it profit the state 10
fastcn the crime of murder on a man and
then put him TO death? Surely nothing
in dollars and cents, and little in the way
of improved morals. Death itself is no
punishment. From the reading OF the
Governors death warrant 10 the day Of
the execution, was two weeks During
that time Dargan suffered some from the
clear of death" That is all; and even
that was greatly mitigatcd by the conSo-
lationS of religion But isn't this death
penalty a relic of barbaraniSm? The
punishment doesn't fit the crime, as
would sentence to hard labor for the
balance of the natural life. Dargan was
a healthy, intelligent negro about 80
years of age. His expectation of life
was fully 80 years longer, during which
time he might have been put at hard
labor for the benefit of the state. In
stead, he was given new suit of clothes,
anything he cravcd in the way of deli
cacics, and at a given hour, mounted be-
fore one of the largest asScmblagcs ever
gathered in the county and allowed 10
deliver an Grafton. He was the coolest
man on the platform. Had he not made
his peace with heaven and was he not
certain that his exit from this, was 10 be
but his entrance into the eternal world?
If the mass of men and boys who wit
messed this execution got anything of
good from the time and place, it came
from the admonitionS to right living
which issued from the lips of this con
dcmncd man Standing on the edge of his
grave, and not from the grucSome quic-
tuS put upon him by the law. Thank
God such scenes have been few and far
between in Putnam county.

The committee of the Florida State
Medical Society, just now engaged in
making campaign of education against
malarial infection, seems exceeding anx-
ious that "thc laity" shall put aside all
former theories concerning its spread,
and adopt the mosquito as the only
guilty party. The committee, however,
should bear in mind that all former theo-
ries of infection were first advanced by
medical experts, and that if now deep
rooted in prejudice, medical scientists
have no one but themselves TO blame.
Speaking for the laity, il has ever shown
a willingness TO follow medical science
-evea 10 the death.
