SERVED SIXTEEN YEARS FOR AN
OTHERS DEED

There went out of Sing Sing prison
on Christmas Day John Boehman
who had served sixteen years of a
life sentence for a murder which he
never committed The facts were full
ly established, and the man, after six
teen years of degradation and hard
labor, was rightfully given his free
dom.
While in prison the unfortunate
man met a doctor, who had been i'm
prisoned on minor charge. He be
came convinced that the prisoner was
entirely innocent, and when he re-
gained his liberty he set about an in
quiry that led to the establishment of
Boehman's innocence.
Had the doctor not been imprisoned
and had he not interested himself in
the unfortunate mans behalf, he
would have, in all probability, served
out life sentence with the brand up
on him as a murderer.
The records will show that many
cases are like Boehman's, yet some
people insist that life Imprisonment
for murder on circumstantiaI evidence
is cheating justice of her deserts.

WHY WOMEN SHOULD VOTE
The Savannah News, a VIGOROUSLY

The Savannah News. a notoriously
conservative newspaper. says that the
vote of the women in Los Angeles
prevented that city from falling into
the hands of the socialists. The In
telIigent and conservative use of the
ballot in California viii largely help
to give the ballot to the women in all
the states Ours cannot be said to be
a democratic government as long as
we withhold the ballot from one-half
Of our population in every way as well
qualified to exercise it as the other
half.-Ocala Banner. If the right OF
franchise depended upon intelligence
or education, the women would in
nine cases out of ten stand in adj
vance of the average man. If anyone
doubts this let him refer to the rec
ords of the public schools and col
leges OF the country. Any man who
ever attended even a common coun.
try school knows that the girl who
sat across the aisle from him invaria-
bly, had her lessons better than him
self and stood higher in her studies.
The average woman has more book
knowledge and is better posted on
the news of the day than is the man.
Then why not allow her to vote?-
Tarpon Springs Leader.
81 am reminded that the way to the
gubernatorial office by the primary
route is an expensive luxury .
am at least too poor to make the eff
fort. Warm personal friends have
been kind enough to volunteer funds
sufficiently large to finance the cam
paign for me, and while I thank them
most sincerely, / cannot get the con-
sent of my own conscience TO accept
contributions for this purpose.
Frank Harris letter declining TO be
a candidate for governor.
What a reflection upon our primary
system of nominations-that only the
rich can aspire to such honors as the
governorship or the e. s. SEN
atorship. The poor man, no matter
how brilliant or learned, must pass,
or accept the contributions OF
friends" in which case he would not
be the peoples governor, but the tool
of the men who made him. And yet
the primary is here because of the
supposed demand of the people-that
great mass of Floridians who demand
equality before the law.-Palatka

4 MERIToRIoUS COLONIZATION
SCHEME

In this age when land promoters,
scrupulous and INSCRIPTIONS, have
their being, it is refreshing to learn
that the venture of the New South
Farm and Home Company, in Marion
county, in this state, has proved to be
most meritorious proposition, and
we have such well known authorities
as Frank Harris, editor of the Ocala
Banner and Nestor of the Florida
press, and Alvin Roberts, staff cor.
respondent of our morning contem
porary, to vouch for this colonization
company, which has spent a great
deal of money in developing its prop.
erty in Marion county, which, by the
way, is one of the richest in the
state.
The promoters of this project are
thoroughly in earnest in their work,
and it is predicted that they will be
very successful.
There is no doubt Florida offers
great inducements to the homeseeker,
as it has climate and soil, two very
necessary elements for successful
fruit growing and truck farming

is not a mercantile establishment IN

every store building, every hotel, the
court house and Jail, the market

the pyramids are to Egypt. Like the
obelisks along the ancient Nile it
stands alone of all of Ocala's early

monuments it stands erect, because
it is firmly rooted in the affections of
the people
Not only is the Banner the history
Of Ocala. but is part of the history
of the county. 1t is identified with
Ocala with every nerve and fiber. In
subscribing for it you become more
intensely an Ocalan-we might even

/ LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD

4 story comes from Galveston, Tex

Members of the party watched inc
panthers for two hours. trying 70 se9
shot at the beasts, not knowing the
child was playing with them al tne
time The thicket is infested with
wildcats. panthers, wolves and pears,
and hunters never venture into II at
night hut the lad suffered only from
hunger and thirst.
How that reminds US OF the propne-
az of Isaiah. "The wolf also snaLi

shall lie down with the kid; and the
calf and the young lion and the iat-
ling together; and little child snah
lead them: and the cow and the pear

child shall play on the hole OF the asp

to be the editor of a clean weekly OF
