The Prices
For the Jobs.

Modern day occurrences seem to In
dictate that it takes the price to get a
political job. and it looks like that is
going to be the case In Florida, only
the Price in this case is spelled with
an upper case P.
We refer to the new circuit judges
that Governor Gilchrist will be called
upon to appoint. we don't believe
that any ordinary price would have
any influence with the governor but a
price like Will H. Price may do the
work, and there is also a Price down
at Miami that he may not be able to
resist.
It is said that every man has his
price and there are many who believe
that the right Price has been offered
TO Governor Gflchrist to appoint GER
tain able lawyers to the judgeships.

OF legal procedure than the members
of the supreme court of Florida.
The supreme court judges are men
of integrity and men of rare legal at
tainment, and we believe that they
could present to the next legislature
suitable recommendations for changes
that would be entirely satisfactory.
AS a rule the leaders in the legal
profession are In favor Of some change
in the present day law practice. They
are in favor Of technicalities being
eliminated, as was shown by the
Recommendations of the American Bar
Association. The Florida Bar Asso-
citation appointed a committee to in
vestigate this question and to report
at the next annual meeting.
II the supreme court judges serving
on q commission of this kind could
consult with the committee Of the
State Bar Association we believe that
the recommendations of the two would
be thoroughly satisfactory to all con-
cerned.
The supreme court judges may not
have the time to do this, but they
would no doubt be willing to attend
to 1t after hours and in this way rem
der valuable service to the state.

Mr.. Underwood's
Hard Task.

Representative Underwood has trav-
eled a hard road in preparing the
farmers free list bill. and has come
y out IN flying colors, but his task has
only begun and the revising of the
wool tariff, or what is known as sched-
ule K, is one of the most perplexing
problems that he and his co-workers
will ever be confronted with.
The revenue derived from the tariff
on wool is enormous, amounting to
$36, 900, 900, and the question is how to
arrange a tariff that will allow cheaper
goods for the people without destroy
ing the revenues with which to run the
government.
The Democrats have never con-
tended for free trade, but have always
been willing to have a tariff sufficient
to produce the revenue to run the
government. According to the pres
ent tariff schedule, which is the AL
drich schedule. the duty is prohibitive
on the cheaper class of wooden goods
and clothing, amounting from 11S to
1876 per cent, while on the higher
grades Of goods it is only about 80 per
Acent, and it is from the importation Of
hese goods that the tariff is derived.
he prohibitive tariff on the cheaper
bods enables the wooden trusts to rob
ebe American people and it is on the
adjustment OF this that Mr.. Underwood
and his associates are now engaged
At present the tariff on raw wool is
about twelve cents a pound and 1t is
proposed to reduce this tariff to six
cents a pound with a provision which
will take off one cent a pound each
year until the tariff is entirely re-
moved.
1t is supposed, too, that the tariff on
the cheaper cloth and clothing will be
greatly reduced for it is the cheaper
grades that the masses buy and with
the tariff cut in half the price of the
wooden goods will be greatly reduced.
Mr.. Underwood may be trusted to
present the best schedule possible
when he reports to congress and, need
less to say, 1t will not be anything like
what President Taft said was the best
tariff schedule the country had ever
had"
1t may not please the wool trust
people, but the masses will know that
Mr.. Underwood is working for then
and that they will get all that it Is
possible without depicting the treas
ury. The tariff schedules will be re-
vised in regular order-beginning with
the worst ones.

WHITE MAN IS
CHARGED WITH
SERIOUS CRIME
L. w. cAPPS, WHO CLAIMS HE is
SCHOOL TEACHER, is HELD FOR
ASSAULT OF YOUNG GIRL
ABOUT IA YEARS OF AGE.

T. w. Caps, a white man about 40
years Of age, Is in the county jail on
the charge of assault, and 1t is claimed
that he is guilty of attempting to
criminally assault q white girl of this
city not more than IA years of age.
Thursday night the proprietress OF a
boarding house 'phoned the police sta
ton for an officer and when the officer
arrived at her house she stated to him
that Caps had attempted to criminally
assault her young daughter and asked
that he be arrested. Officer Roach,
who answered the call. placed the
him being a dangerous and suspicious
character. This charge was preferred
against him, because of the nature Of
the case, as 1t was necessary to con-
duct an investigation in order to ascer-
tain exactly what charge should be
preferred against him.
Capps was given q. hearing before
the recorder yesterday morning and
was turned over to the county authort-
ties on the charge mentioned.
According to the officers to whom he
made a statement. Caps admitted
that he had kissed the girl and treated
her in an affect2onate manner. but
claimed that she had encouraged him
in everything that he did and that he
had not tried to take any advantage
Of her.
Caps claims that he is a school
teacher and that he came here to work
for a few weeks, but that he INTENDED
leaving the city within the next few
days to take a position as teacher of q
school. He fatty denies any intention
or attempt to assault the young lady.
