The Advanced Rights

wife. who earns si2 week. She asks
an allowance Of IS week, and he. on
the other hand, insists that his more
opulent wife ought to be compelled
to allow him 81 week.
In support OF his plea the husbands
attorney lays down the proposition
that "a woman can live nicely on IS

too small for a man"
"A man needs says the lawyer, "a
little change in his pocket for cigars

and she can set both on IS a week.
The husband does not demand all his
wife's earnings, although think in

In this little calculation the lawyer
has overlooked the wffe's need Of

and the mysterious things for which

But the main question is this: Does

A letter written by Editor kohlsaat
of the Chicago Record Herald to SEN
ator Cullom. asking that he refrain
from voting to keep Lorfmer in his
seat, has just been given to the public
and it shows how much pressure was
brought to bear to have that man put
there by corrupt methods unseated.
No one can doubt the earnestness anil
sincerity of the Chicago editor be-
cause he is above reproach and 1t is
to be regretted that Senator Cullom
failed to take his advice. The letter
said: You are 81 years old-poor as

The Journal is glad to see that the
people. or some of them, are at last
waking up to the inquities of the fee
system as practiced by criminal court
officials of Florida.
For months The Journal has been
directing attention to the nefarious
practices carried on by the peace of
fcers of Florida under the guise Of
law. Last spring we published daily
for a period of some SO days an ex-
ample from the records showing how
the expense was piled up on the tax
payers.
Just recently some particularly
shocking vagrancy cases have de-
veIoped, and these, described and COM
mented on in the columns Of The
Journal, have appropriately stirred the
public to the point of indignant pro-
test.
The public need not think. however
that indignation or protest is going
to have any effect on the policy en-
pioyed either by Sheriff Can Pelt or
any other sheriff in Florida. They are
out for the fees even If they have to
arrest and jail Migrants and children
to get these fees

WHAT OTHERS THINK
OF PENSACOLA'S SHAME

camps of Escambia county are now
so filed with men, seeking employ
ment in Florida, that no more can be
cared for at present. The method OF
securing them at Flomaton, a town
which lies part In Alabama and part
iii Florida, is set forth in a published
letter of the town marshal as follows:
Il can prove by competent witnesses
that Deputy Sheriffs Johnson and
Bowman come her at night and build
q. fire just across the state line and
then they go around the railroad yards
and tell the men that they win be ar
rested If they stay where they are, and
point out the camp fire and tell them
that they viii be safe there. Then
swhen they get across the line they are
arrested by said deputy sheriffs and
carried to jail"
This practice has become such a
disgrace to the state that Governor
Gilchrist should put an end to It.
There is no good reason why Pensa-
coiians should be supported in this
manner to the detriment of the rest
of t he state. In the meantime. until
the practice can be ended. 1t would
