Mr.. BRYAN Baking IN HARNESS

This paper regrets exceedingly that
Mr.. Bryan continues to send out dis
cordant'' notes and seems determined
to play the dog in the manger'' act
Without any regrets whatever he says
that he cannot attend the Jackson
Day dinner to be given in Baltimore
and adds:
ut will be impossible for me to be
present. / hesitate to send a letter
to be read, lest it proves a discordant
note, if, as infer, those who original
ed it are dissatisfied with the last
democratic national platform"
This paper almost idolized Mr.. Bry.
an. 1t was the first paper in the Unit
ed States to mention his name for the
presidency, and it regrets that when
victory seems ours for the asking that
instead of reaching out for it with en-.
thusiasm and rejoicing, he prefers to
be stumbling block in the way to
success. 1t is too bad. Now is the
time for the exercise of supreme pa
triotism-the time is ripe for the heal
ing over of old sores and a unification
of all disturbing factions. A balk
now may prove disastrous to party
unity and success.

Speaking of the possibility of a wo
man some day becoming president OF
the United States, we are almost
ready to say, why not? Speaking of
the successful reins of women in 9th.
er lands We are led to quote from
Lady Cook (nee Tennessee Clafiin). In
one of her recent lectures she said:
Look what Queen Boadicea did
when Britain was invaded. She call
ed all her subjects together and said
Men and women, follow me to bat.
tle;' and she attached scythes to her
chariot and drove through the enc.
my, and moved them down like
grass. And who was greater and
brought about better conditions than
your Queen Bess? She was the great
est diplomatist in the world. She
rought in and looked after the Pro
slant religion, and all without shed
Ing drop of blood. We all admit
lat Queen Elizabeth was great and
sne was virgin queen, too"
And what rich bouquet of flowers
could be placed upon the brow of Vic
toria! How beautiful and transcend.
ant were her virtues. One who thinks
women are not capable of governing
las read history to little purpose.

PLAN OFsPEACE COURT

The court to be development from
previous international methods in or
der to form a more perfect arrange
ment. Other peaceful methods to be
applied.
The court to be court of law and
equity, applying principles of equity
and good conscience and having re
gard to all systems of law and the
precedents under all systems. AL
questions except those of pure policy
to be submitted.
The institution of an international
court is of such Importance that il
should be constituted by such states
as desire it, leaving it open to access
to other powers or to their future ad
herence.
Inasmuch as the supreme court Of
the United States has served as a SUI
preme court for the states composing
the American Union, and has repeat
eddy decided controversies amons
them, the origin, history and practical
working of that court should be care
fully studied.
The practicability of creating a sen
timent in schools, colleges and uni
versities in favor of the settlement Of
international disputes by means other
than war is indorsed.

Typhoid is one of our worst diseas
es. A special from Washington, D. C..
says that remarkably successful re
suits obtained by an experimental in
oculation of troops with typhoid fever
virus are reported from Fort Ogle
thorpe, Ga. There is now ground for
hope that by general adoption of this
system of incubation troops in the
field may be absolutely safeguarded
hereafter against disease Colonel
Parker reports to the war department
that the Eleventh cavalry, having
been inoculated, made a practice
march of twenty-one days from Ogle-
thorpe to Knoxville and return, a dis.
lance of 800 miles. During this De.

commander, no attempt was made to
bail water" says Parker. ION Octo-
Der 18th, the date of return, the sick

The Punta Gorda Herald is PROUD
of DeSoto county. 1t sings this note
in its praise: "DeSoto is a wonderful
county. In many respects it leads all
of the other counties in Florida. 1t is
Florida's county of greatest area, of
greatest variety of lands, of most va.
ried resources, and of greatest
wealth per capita. DeSoto is a rich
county-rich in many ways. but in
speaking of its wealth it is desired to
say that it is not composed of specula-
tive hidden treasures, but abounds in
harvests of proven experiments. It's
variety of soil suited to the cultivation
of products favored by climatic condi-
tons, are facts that go to prove that
nature has touched it with a kindly
hand, and he who will may share the
gift"

An inmate of the prison at Rock
land, Maine, for thirty years, John G
Farr was given his freedom as a
Christmas boon. but he did not seize
it with the avidity that his friends an
ticipated, but says that he will stay
right along in the prison as long as
the present warden lives and has
charge of it. He feels that he has
grown out of the recollection of his
friends. He was given a big Christ
mas dinner land his stocking was la
den to the brim. He was convicted
of wife murder and it is now believed
that his conviction was mistake. !

THE NEW AND RETIRING BOARDS
school Board


Mr.. w. D. earn was present at the
meeting of the school board Monday,
and took the place of Mr.. Isaac Ste
vens, the retiring member.
Mr.. Stevens made very attentive
and dutiful member, and has scarcely
missed attending meeting since his
election, four years ago.
Mr.. earn, having served the county
twelve years in the capacity of super
intendent of schools, is in position
to make most valuable member, and
his friends feel that he will fully
measure up to the responsibilities of
the position.
On Monday night Superintendent
Brinson gave very pleasant oyster
supper to the old and new members,
which was very much enjoyed.
Board of County Commissioners
On Tuesday the old and new mem
bers of the board of county commits
sioners met promptly at their office
in the court house, and after the read
ing of the minutes of the board of the
previous day a motion was made that
the old members retire and that the
new members be sworn in.
Mr. Proctor then moved that Mr.. w.
J. Crosby of Citra, who has given
faithful service, and is familiar with
the workings of the board, be made
temporary chairman. Mr.. Crosby, on
assuming the chair, said that the first
business was the election of a perma-
nent chairman, whereupon Mr. C. Car
michael, member from the Ocala dis
trict, moved that Mr.. Crosby be made
permanent chairman. The motion was
promptly seconded and he was unani-
mously elected.
Mr.. Crosby thanked the board in a
very sincere manner for the conf
dence reposed in him, and said that
every act of his would be done with
an eye single to the best interests of
the county, and that he knew that in
so doing he would have the hearty CO.
operation of his fellow members. He
paid a beautiful tribute to the faith
fulness of the retiring members and
of their conscientiousness in the per-
Torrance of the duties of the office,
which at times were arduous and ex-
acting.
Mr.. George MacKay, who has been
chairman of the board for the past
two years, Mr.. Jas. NJ Mathews, who
was a member for four years, and Mr..
Norman Fort, who has served contin-
uously for ten years, all made appro-
pirate remarks, and while unpreten-
tiously and modestly bedecking one
another with roses they expressed the
wish that the new board would do
even more than they had accomplish
ed for the welfare of the county, and
that in their attempts to do that, their
hands would be upheld by the whole
body of the county, and that every
undertaking would prosper under
their hands.
The occasion was very delightful
one, and the spectators present shared
the feelings in the general expression
of good will and determination on the
part of the guardians of their inter-
ests to push the county forward in all
good works.

My health has not been good lately and have only worked half time since l have been here, but at that I keep out of debt The climate l hope will do me good.

The deterrent effect of punishment is never ending topic for discussion by prison workers. It is generally agreed that when a man reaches the point where he cares not who knows he is in prison. the punishment is to that extent a failure. Another phase of the question is this. If Smith conn mits crime and is sent to prison. to what extent will this object lesson keep Jones from violating the law? In our efforts to reach a conclusion as to the value of punishment it may be well to consider:
 lst. That many states eight to twelve thousand members of the com monwealth in prison the year around. each one of whom has had the fear of prison instilled in him all his life.
 2nd. Any one who has been fin pris- on once is more apt to commit a crime. than is one who has not been in prison.
 3rd. Many convicts are not criminals when they enter prison but are crim- inals when they leave the prison.
 
 Punishment is kaleidescopic. It takes las many forms as the human mind sane or insane-can conceive A man driving a horse inadvertently pulls on one rein more than the other, and the horse leaves the road The man then curses and beats the hOrse-he pun ishes the horse. Two men quarrel. insane from liquor or passion. or both I-One kills the Other-he punishes the other. Society sane and free from pas sion and red liquor punishes the sur vivOr by killing him. Why? Because society must protect itself. and not withstanding the teachings of Jesus. which it looks to one day in seven. so- ciety continues to protect itself through creating fear.
 Fear is form Of evil. Outside O: its paralyZing effect, which is tempa- rary, it has no value as a deterrent. At the territorial prison is a man who was convicted of robbery. While awaiting trial. he broke out of jail. As a result the court sent him to the ter ritorial prison for both crimes. Super intendent Rynning now has this man working outside the walls of the pris- on: he is beyond the reach of the guards night and day. Why does he not run away? Is it because he is afraid or is it because the superin- tendent appealed to the good in him when he said: Edwards I need a man at the pump house that I can trust I am going to send you there because I believe you will give me a square deal believe in yOu." Edwards is on his honor Iron bars did not hold him but his word does. He has made a discov cry. Having the confidence of his su- periors makes him think we'll of him self: the deterrent effect of which is more lasting than any form of punish ment-yet punishment has a value. The parole department should be bet ter able to measure the value of pun ishment than any other department of inc ata foUarpp1ept
