man and a jolly companion. He said
he knew of no better place to Judge
the qualities of a man than when on
camping expedition. Whether 1t
was this recommendation of his worth
that made him bishop it is not known,
but he was elected and there is no one
in Florida that would have it other
wise.
Shortly after assuming the duties of
his Office the epidemic of yellow fever
reached Jacksonville, at which time
many people died. During the entire
time Bishop Weed was a leader in the
fight against the disease, and daily
cared for the sick. 1t was his untiring
efforts and his cheerful presence
among the sick that prevented many
more deaths. At this time he en-
deared himself to the people of that
section, and that love and esteem for
him has grown until it has extended
throughout the state of Florida With
out question Bishop Weed is at this
time the most beloved man in the
state, not alone by his people, but by
the members of other denominations
and by thousands without any church
affiliations.
At another time, during the big fire
in Jacksonville, the services of this
good man weIfe of untold benefit His
home was turned into a hospital and
his lawn into a dining room and She
sick were cared for and the hungry
given food.
He never follows in the ranks of
movements for the good of humanity
he is always a leader.

Representative Angles
Good Roads Bills.

Tomorrow morning is the time set
= to consider Representative Angles oiils
to abolish the convict lease system and
use them on the public roads, and a
bill creating a state highway commits
sion, and, also the submitting OF
constitutional amendment for the pur-
pose of bonding the state for $4,000
900 to build brick roads.
. While they are three distinct meas
ures they are all directed at the same
end. and each one OF the measures
should receive favorable action at the
hands of the legislators.
The Journal has gone into the sub
feet of convict leasing at length here
tofore. The theory Is wrong, ana
while FIorida's method of handling her
convicts is many times better than
some other states which work their
convicts on the public roads, still the
convict lease system should be abol-
aished in Florida, and we believe that
under the direction of those now in
charge of the state prison work, an
ideal system can be inaugurated.
Just at this time Florida is making
long strides in road building, and, If
the ten million dollar bond issue
passes, interest will be at fever heat
and road building will take on new
life, and it is in anticipation Of this
that the state highway commission is
proposed. In many ways it will be OF
inestimable benefit to the state, and
the road building will be carried on
systematically and thoroughly If a
: state highway commission is in exist
ence.
& The bond issue is not for the legis-
lature to decide. 1t can only give the
q people an opportunity to decide
whether they want n system of brick
roads extending from one end of the
state to the other. If the bond issue
passes and the convict lease system il
abolished it is the intention to have
the convicts manufacture the brick
and in this way the roads can be built
at small expense to the state
AS this is a constitutional amend
ment and must be submitted to the
voters, there is no excuse whatever
for the legislature holding up the
amendment The people are compe'
tent to decide whether they want tt
spend money for road building anc
this cannot be done unless the legis
lature gives them chance.
The bill abolishing the convic
lease system, the bill to create STATE
highway commission, and the propo
sition to submit the amendment II
the people, should be passed tomorrow
when they come up for consideration

| repeatedly won in face Of the Demo-
Gratis proclaiming low tariff? The
answer is easy.
| Three years ago President Taft
would have been defeated II he had
not said repeatedly that he and his
party were in favor of a reduction in
tariff. The people believed what he
said and elected him and he had both
houses of congress to carry out his
pledges, but the Republican party
would have none of It, although We
believe President Taft was sincere. A
few tariffs were lowered, but 1t was
on raw materials and the manufac-
tured articles were allowed to have a
little tariff added to them. The trusts
were allowed to buy their goods at q
lower rate, but what the farmers and
laboring men had to buy was made to
cost little more.
In the free list proposed by the
Democrats and passed by the house
this was not done. They put -four on
the free list when they allowed wheat
to come in free; when cattle was al
lowed to come in free by the reci-
procity agreement the Democrats took
the tax off meat to keep the TRUSTS
from profting to the farmers harm.
They put on the free list boots and
shoes, harness. saddles and leather.
agricultural implements and barbed
wire and cotton bagging and ties, and
many other things. making a hundred
in all.
This is what has made the change.
The first opportunity the Democrats
had they went as far as they could on
the tariff reduction. while the Repub
licans never promised it until cor
nered and then would not carry out
their promises. It's just another ex-
ample of not being able to fool the
poole all of the time.
So it's time for Democrats to laugh
to their hearts content.

ALARMING PREVALENCE
OF ECZEMA
Finds Victims Among Every Race,
Age and Condition.

OF all the diseases Of the skin and
scalp which torture and dishgure man
kind, three-fourths are eczemRtous.
Millions are born with eczema, and it
is the only thing other millions have
left when they die. Neglect in infancy
and childhood, irritating conditions af-
fecting the skin, ignorance Of its real
nature, improper remedies and many
other causes that might be mentioned
have created an eczema which, with
varying severity, has afflicted countless
numbers during their entire lives. Ec-
xerna is q skin disease. 1t is not re-
garded as hereditary, nor contagious,
and is impartially distributed among
the rich and poor, the high and low.
The agoniZing itching and burning Of
the skin, causing loss Of sleep, is usually
the most distressing symptom and Is
caused by the bursting Of little vesicles
filed with an acrid fluid which burns
as with fire the denuded skin. New
vesicles form, I'LL and burst, scales form
upon scales, and crusts upon crlsts
until Disagreement is added to torture.
One Of the most successful treatments
for eczema, whether applied to the
youngest infant or the Oldest person,
is hot baths with Cuticura soap and
gentle anointings Of Cuticura ointment.
For more than generation, these pure,
sweet and gentle emoIlients have proved
the most efficient agents in the speedy
and permanent relief Of all forms Of
ecsemas, rashes, feelings and iTritations
Of theskin and scalp. Although Cuticura
soap and ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers everywhere, in order that
those who have suffered long and hope
lessly and who have lost faith in every
thilg may make trial Of them without
charge, Q liberal sample Of each viii be
mailed free to any address. together

scription and treatment Of the various
forms Of eczema, as well as other affec-
tons Of tho skin, scalp, hair and hands

Among the members of the Confed-
and he has been a leader in the move
ment to erect a monument to the
Women Of the Confederacy from Flor
ida.
1t is not because of his eloquence of
speech nor his great intellect, though
he has both, that have gained for him
the love of all Floridians, but 1t is his
faculty OF being one of his fellowmen,
and as he often says, trying to do the
world a little good. Possibly no man
in Florida has performed as many
marriage ceremonies nor has conduct
ed as many funeral services as has he.
After twenty five years of service in
Florida he has not grown old. His
hair is silky white, but his step is
quick, his eyes are bright, his greet
ing is just as cordial and his hand
shake is just as inspiring as during
his younger days.
Those who have not been fortunate
enough to know him personally have
been denied one of the greatest pleas
ures of Floridians, for of the many
privileges of living in the land Of hap
piness and enchantment, to know
Bishop Weed is one of the greatest.
Bishop Edwin Garden Weed is one
grand, noble and good man whose life
stands out to all as an exemplifcation
of unsurpassed manhood and intellec-
tual grandeur. During his twenty five
years service in Florida his every act
has been one of unselfishness, conse-
Grafton to service, and a help to his
fellow man.
He possesses that broad and liberal
spirit, allowing others the same right
of conviction that he reserves for him
self, and he has made the members of
other denominations his personal
friends and co-workers. Cheerful at
all times, dignifed in demeanor, i'm
partial in department, he is always,
anywhere and everywhere, a sturdy,
honorable, true and trusted and alto
gether lovable friend of the masses.
While he has the same cheerful
greeting, the same hearty handshake
for the refined as for the hardened
criminal, he loves culture as he loves
patriotism, and he worships integrity
almost as he does his Master.
The boys and girls of Florida can
find no worthier man whom they
might emulate. Good in( his natural
disposition, spotless and pure in his
daily life, fearless in the discharge of
his duty, he is a guiding light to his
people of the church, a fitting example
of southern patriotism, and a thorough
specimen of American manhood.

alone there are many names of per-

of many who, no doubt, are in dupli-
cate on three or four voting lists in

1t has been suggested that the
easiest way to correct the matter is to
require, by law, the registration of all
citizens, once in four years, making
new registration lists to take the place
of the one cluttered up with names of
dead men, non residents, convicts and
double registrations"
Hillsborough~ county, through Sena-

clean up their registration lists. an act
which should be made general and
then should be taken advantage of by
every county in the state whose list of
voters is encountered by names that
should not be found on the books.
Not only would danger Of election
frauds be lessened, but the public
would be freed the expense of publish

Considerable Opposition,

OonSi0eTaple OPPoSltions
Citizens of Pensacola are said to be
anxious to obtain a Carnegie free Ii
brary building and will secure a fine
lot for the same if the city council will
undertake to provide for the mainte-
nance Of the building, as is always re-
quired by Mr.. Carnegie. Some opposi-
ton is understood to have developed,
and the appropriation of 10 per cent OF
the amount donated, each year, may
not be authorized. Those in favor of
the library indicate that the building
would be one to cost about $4,000 and
this would mean an annual appropria-
ton by the city of $4,000. The site
suggested is a lot on PalafoX street
that is understood to be valued at
$4,000 and this suggests the idea that
a community willing to raise that
amount for a site should be able to
build the library itself, and make suit
able appropriations for it's mainte-
nance, unhampered by outside parties.
