THE PuRLlc's DUE.

Decent treatment is due the
public. There will survive and
there still control large numbers
of the divine" and vested
right" managers who have learn
ed nothing and will learn moth
ing until the great public asserts
it's rights more forcibly than in
the past. These managers must
learn that the corporations are
not the masters but the serv-
ants of the public, that their
master is not going to destroy
them so long as they remain
servants and that their rights as
servants are going to be scrupu-
lousy respected, as their as
sumption of mastership will be
relentlessly suppressed. - VIII

PERSONAL LIBERTY.

Personal liberty is lost some
times in larger social liberty.
The only personal liberty that
belongs inalienably and eternal
ly to a man is the liberty to do
right. Only the devils and dark
ness will deny him that right
and he must walk through death
and darkness to obtain it. Ev-
cry law written upon the statute
books, every candidate that ap-
peals for Office, every safeguard
for the lettering of social condi-
lions is an acknowledgment that
no man lives to himself and no
man dies unto himself. To claim
a personal liberty which may
become a menace and tragedy
to the lives of others is to claim
the right to anarchy and law
lessness. There can be no per-
sonal liberty to do wrong. When
one man would pull another
down that he might rise, or 81
lence anothers voice that his
might be heard, or destroy an
others honor that his might not
be disputed, there is liberty
that is lawless and devilish.
Christianity calls on men to give
up their rights for the good of
others.-Rev. Hugh t. Kerr of
Chicago.

rate is highest we find the low

Game Bill is Signed;
Becomes Law Sept. |

/ 10y DyAA3 IA 49, 49, O.
The game bill of 1911 will be a
law of the stataof Georgia on Septeu =
Der |.
The legislature Of 1911 has adjour.
ned with much needful work undone
But the game bill, which The Geor-
I gian has fought for for years passed
both houses and on Monday was sign
ed by Governor Hoke Smith. Now
let every sportsman in Georgia rise
and make his bow to the lawmakers
who made the law possible.
Let every one interested in the
preservation of game an1 fish also
lend assistance to Hen. Jesse Mercer,
the state game Commissioner, who
has been named by the governor to
direct The enforcement Of this law
On his shoulders falls a resp0nSlblh-
ty which all sportsmen should rec
ognize, and they shol lid endeavor to
help him carry out the provisions
of the act. He must launch a new
department and must do so with
out any funds whatever. The legls-
Iature made no appropriation for
opening this department, and all
expenses must come from the reVe-
nue. created by the act.
If sportsmen who have been
clamoring for this law will bear
this in mind and will buy their Ii
Genes now, instead of waiting until
the hunting season to purchase
them, it would greatly help the
commissioner, in beginning his work
There are more ways than one Tor
the sportsmen to aid him. Another
is in the selection of county game
wardens. On these men depends
the success of the new law, and II
is of the utmost importance that
right men be selected.
Commissioner Mercer is an able
man and should make good. He
comes from south Georgia, and
should be familiar with conditions.
If his lieutennants, or county ward
dens, are good men. Georgia Will
have the best game protection IN
the South. If his men are lndltfer-
ent to their duties, the good effects
of the law will be lost and hunters
will have a disregard for the law.
So let every tportsman act as II ne
were a part of this great machine
and help Commissioner Mercer III
his great work.
The passage of the game bill
that Commissioner Mercer and his
men will soon be asked to enforce
marks the end of a long and at
times extremely bitter fight for
game protection in Georgia. Bill
after bill has been offered to the
general assemblies of the state, but
they have turned the proverabial
deaf ear to the sportman and the
good ear to the GAME HOG. In
the Legislature of 1911 matters
were nv ,rsed and only Is members
OF the IS in the house and 10 of the
"A senators voted against the bill.
The opposition would not have
been Is strong had it not been for
the landowners permission clause
in the bill

child labor. When people put the
child above the dollar it is a sure
sign that the people will prosper. Our
state is In it's infancy. industrially. and
while we are working for manufac-
turing industries to come to Florida,
we do not want any that will not make
profit on the money invested when
men are employed.
While there is almost unanimous
opinion in favor of the bill. citizens OF
every community might find it adj
visable to instruct their representa-
tives to see that the bin is adopted.
Florida is greatly advertised, but
this would help the state to have II

should be paid sufficient salaries to
warrant the faithful performance of
duty.
This is another of the many things
which the legislature should remedy
It may not come before the body at
all, but it should be remedied and at
once If possible.-Pensacola Journal.
We entirely agree with the views
expressed by The Journal. The public
is entitled to the best service that can
be had, and should pay a salary that
would induce the best men to compete
for the different public offices, but the
fee system should be abolished.
It is provocative of litigation and is
demoralizing IN it's effect upon office
holders.
Another thing that we need is a suf-
hcient number of courts to speedily
try all cases of whatever nature that
may arise, both civil and criminal.
Equally important is some move to
eliminate technicalities in the trial of
cases at bar.
The non-legal mind of the masses is
getting pretty tired of this bar to JUS
tice.

THE WRONGS OF
THE FEE SYSTEM
Polk County Record.
) . . ~A = . ~~A~

During the deliberations of the law
yers in their annual session held in
this city, they discussed many things
which will, If adopted, result in good
for the state, but were painfully silent
in regard to the fee system, which is
still in effect in Florida.
True, the lawyers are not as inter-
ested in this as some officials for the
state and county, but some solicitors
for criminal courts are known to get
about as much in fees as prosecuting
attorneys as the governor gets for
being chief executive.
State attorneys are paid a certain
salary and this is as it should be. The
rewarded by an increase in the fee re-
ceived by the prosecuting attorney
he should be paid a salary by the year
regardless of the convictions.
The same situation applies to sher-
ifs as well and is just as Objectionable
as in the Office of marshals in cities
where the pay Is governed by the fee
system
The Journal does not take the posi-
ton that an officer cannot be conseieu-
tious in the discharge of his duties
when he is paid by the fees. but the
system is wrong. it is Anticipated. and
its abolition should be insisted upon
by progressive people.
The courts of the state should not ne
considered from a money making
standpoint, but overy provision shotaS
be made for the protection OF life and

Editor Pensacola Journal.
Would 1t not be advisable to inves-
tigate the matter and see whether IL
would be any better to have our city
affairs placed in the hands of com
mission than to have them admins
tered as they are at present?
What would be the use in trying to
get commission composed of inde-
pendent men Of principle who would
out fear or favor IL no such men can
We go for the men?
Perhaps there never was a country
and never was a time when men were
so completely crazed with the idea vt
getting into office as at the present
time In this country and it does not
appear that it is for the purpose af
serving their country. Men appear
willing to give up almost any kind OF
lucrative business for the sake of get
ting into office. What is there about
office holding that is so fascinating?
When we see men deliberately throw
ing away fortune of twenty or thirty
thousand dollars (the savings of life
time of an ordinary mani for the sake
Of trying to gain some ONCE, we can
only wonder what Is the cause and
what is at the back of it When we
see half the men in the city anxious to
pay out their money and try for some
office can we expect that they will
want to change the system?
II we cannot get laws to compel men
to redeem their election promises AMI
enforce good laws and ordinances, how
will we compel commissioners to do
any better? Are the people of the
United States ready to acknowledge
that they cannot govern themselves?
If so, then it will be necessary to hand
the whole business over to a few ex-
pert specialists to give the people what
is best for them. otherwise the people
will have to get together and form
some plan to get control of their own
affairs and hunt down and punish
those men who are higher up but in
the background but the real cause of
all the trouble.

Child Labor

The southern states are held up in
Ehe magazines as being places where
ehild labor is allowed in it's most
damnable form. To illustrate the
point pictures of sick1y looking chill
dren are given, but the worst part of
the whole matter is that the articles
and pictures are borne out by facts.
It is gratifying to know that this is
not 3 problem in Florida at the present
time for there are few children en-
ployed in any industries in the state
Our people are too prosperous and tn,
men are able to provide for their
families without having the children
at 8 tender age shorten their lives by
working long hours. Another reason
is that industries which employ thi.
class Of labor are not numerous In tn.
