An Interesting Question.

Atlanta, Jan. 2O.-If a man de-
~liberately spits in the plate from
which you are eating, does that
Justify you in killing him? If
you oughn't to kill him. what
ought you to do? And if you do
kill him, what is y reasonable
punishment for the homicide?
These interesting questions are
being pondered most seriously by
Governor John M. Slaton, and
will have to be answered by him
shortly. Not that anybody has
spit in his plate. Perish the idea.
If anybody had, the governor
would probably have killed him
first and figured it out %afterward,
as least he might have. Bus This
case relates to a poor negro whom
the governor met ano talked to
on the State prison farm.
He seemed to be a good ne
gro, with a kindly face and hon.
est eyes. Yet he was up for muir,
der, and had already served
twenty years.
He sought out the governor to
ask him for clemenoy. He said
he had never committed any other
orime, and that he wouldn't have
killed the man if he hadn't beeu
"jes' bleeged to do it,"
"Why did you kill him?" the
governor asked, and the negro
responded.
swell, him an me was working
on a job in Savannah, an when
dinner time came he keep leanin'
over my plate. An 1 tole him
not to lean over it that way, an
do you know, governor, he spit
right in my rations. OATS why I
killed him. I'm sorry I done it,
but I thiuk twenty years ls long
enough to serve"

About Counting Chickens.

The Greensboro Record warns
Democrats not to count their
chickens before they are hatchpd,
and says: ''there must he a change
of 600, 900 votes fer the Democ-
Gratis to win" This is on the ba-
sis of the 1908 presidential vote.
These 800, 600 voters have already
changed. as witness the 1910 cleo
ton. They must change back to
the Republicans after leaving
them for the Republicans to win.
All the same, the admonition
of the Record is in season. The
signs all point to a Democratic
victory, bus it can only be won by
wise legislation by the present
Congress. a sound platform and
thu nomination of candidates
who have the confidence of the
country. No Democrat who fav-
ors q do.nothing, standpat pro-
gram can win, and unless this
Democratic Congress measures up
to the expectations of the people
they will jeopardize the Demo-
cratic victory now almost within
our grasp.-Raleigh News and Oh

direct election OF senators.
Senator Carney made a short ad-
dress, explaining his opinion the
game law and othcr matters. He was
heard with attention and warmly ap-
plaude5.
This closed the speaking, and after
thanking the people of Fort Mccoy
for their hospitality and attention, the
meeting adjourned. The visitors en-
ployed the remainder of the afternoon
until train time in looking over the
town and talking with the people.
AS the Oca1a Northern train neared
Ocala in the evening, many of the can
didates expressed the wish that Con-
duetor Spencer could run his clever
little train up to Anthony, to carry
them to the meeting at that place. In
their two days at Orange Springs and
Fort Mccoy, they had come to feel It
home on their home made railroad,
and wished that it ran all over the
county.
Among the people the reporter met
Lake Kerr, now of St Petersburg,
who is up here attending to business
affairs; Mr.. Hardy Rainier of Eureka
DR.. Percy F. Lisk, who is following his
skilled and beloved father in the pro-
fession of healing; Mr.. J. N Crimson
Professor Brinson's father, and a solid
farmer; Mr.. D. b. Crimson, the profess
sor's uncle, an old resident of lola, and
one of the participants in the lakeside
picnic; Mr.. D. F. Simmons of Citra
and great many others whose names
he didn't catch. They are all a friend
ly and hospitable people, and 1T is a
peculiar pleasure to a man confined to
office thirteen months in the year to
be out among them. Mr.. Marion l.
Payne commended the Star for its
work for Wilson, which Mr.. Payne

COL. ROOSEVELT'S CRY,
SHALL PEOPLE RULER"
CATCH -PHRASE-- HILLES

Nor will any change in the system
remedy this defect. Government can
no more rise above the demands Of the
people than water can rise above Its
source.
Insult to Thinking People"
Shall the people rule" makes a
good slogan for party which appeals
TO thoughtess people. people who will
not think 1t is an insult to the intel
ligence of the people who do think. who
do have a comprehensive conception of
their government, who know, if they DO
stop to think, that they rule now There
never was a political boss" who did
not draw his power from the people
and never a boss-even the boss Of the
third term party-Who perverted his
power to evil except through the intel
lgenCe of the people Intelligent men
know that there is no necessity for
wholesale innovation in order to make
them the arbiters of their fortunes so
far g government can make them that.
Every argument which has been ad-
vanced in support of the recall OF
judges and of judicial decisions Is based
on the assertion, or the broad intima-
ton. that there is no method Of remov-
ing from judicial office men who some
times prove false to the people" no way
in which they shall be taken out of
office and replaced by men with a high
er sense of their obligations" Argu-
ments like that are an insult to the in
telligenCe Of the men to whom they are
addressed, when only within a few
months have impeachment proceedings
been instituted against Judge Robert
w, Archibald. Of the Federal commerce
court while a congressional investisa-
ton has resulted in the resignation of
Federal Judge Cornelius II. Hanford
and the appointment of his successor.
No one believes in retaining on the
bench. or in any other office. man who
has proved false to the people. No one
could be more jealous of the good name
of the judiciary than President Taft
No one even the third term candidate,
has any copyright on the command
ment. Thou shalt not steal" or any
monopoly on the determination that
only men Of the highest probity shall
serve on the bench. either state or Fed
eral Neither has any one a monopoly
on progress and II deeds-not words
are to be the test, no one has accom-
pished more for progress than Presi-
