It so happens that neither the Demo
cratic nor the Republican party has a
majority Of states in congress. Con-
gress win in the event the election is
thrown to that body cast its vote for
president for the three having the
greatest number of votes. The senate
however will vote only for the two
candidates for vice presidents having
the greatest number OF votes.
In case OF a tie in both house and
senate, the law seems to provide for no
further contingency and great deal
of confusion and doubt would follow.
The only real remedy is to elect the
president by a direct vote.

Stillrnan to Write Political
Series for The Journal.

The Journal begins today what will
probably be one OF the most interesting
and entertaining series of political
contributions ever published in Flor
tC..
1t Is q history Of the Republican
party in Florida (and. incidentally,
elsewhere) written by Hon. Jno. f.
Stillman, lifelong Republican who.
less than a year ago. renounced his
Republican affiliations and aligned
himself with the Democratic, or white
mans party.
Mr.. Stilinan was for years init
mately associated with Republican
politics in Florida and during the adj
ministrations Of Mckinley and Roose-
welt he was collector of customs at
Pensacola. He probably has a wider
acquaintance with men and with he
peculiar conditions surrounding the
Republican party in the South than
any other man in this section.
The subject itself will be particu-
lay interesting at this time while the
Taft and Roosevelt controversy is on,
and as Mr.. Stillman writes with a
facile pen his articles cannot help but
prove entertaining.
The Journal will contain one Of the
series each Sunday morning and II
counts itself fortunate on securing
so valuable feature The StiIlman
stories W. ~-obably run at least until
election and each will be a valuable
and interesting contribution to the po-
;itical lore of the times.

Bar Association
Reads Handwriting.

The American Bar Association Is
composed very largely OF judges. OF
men who have been judges and of
those who want to be judges. In
other words 1t is a judicial body. That
1t has taken heed Of the great popular
outcry against the injustice Of some Of
the courts. the corruption of others
ard the demand for the recall OF un-
just and unfit judges is significant.
Nobcey expected that the lawyers as
body would favor these reforms and
1t Is concession that they recognized
the demand for them. In their wis
dom, the organized lawyers decided
that most of the great popular unrest
against the courts and the judges came
from the delay of the law, the large
costs of litigation and the comph-,
Gated state of court procedure.
So far. SO good. Much OF the unrest
does come from these causes and were
these wrongs righted, doubtless there
would be more even justice dealt out
in the courts and more respect would
be felt for the law.
The judges, the lawyers and all the
hangers on at the bar WELD consider
able influence over legislation and If
these members of the bar are very
strongly In earnest about bringing
about these reforms, they can grad
ually accomplish this purpose.
But no reform in court procedure, no
duction in the cost Of litigation will
stop the popular clamor against the
retention in office CT corrupt and unfit
men, whether the office be judicial.
legislative, or executive.

Are We Guardians
Of Latin America?

Nobody seems to exactly know whom
and what we are to protect in Mica
ragua and other Latin republics in
Central and South America. Further
more, no one seems to know what Is
the policy of the present state de-
partment.
The weak and vaciliating course of
the administration il not calculated TO
inspire respect for the American gov
eminent in Latin America. OF course.
the president as the commander in
chief OF the land and naval forces of
the country has the right to employ
the army and navy to protect minis
tiers, consuls and private citizens in
foreign lands where the local authori-
ties have proved themselves incapable.
To garrison an entire country 70
protect the property of Americans is
no part Of our duty. The property of
Americans in foreign lands is under
the protection of the local authorities
and the local courts. The most this
government can do is to demand repa-
ration when damage or personal in
jury is caused.
At present no one knows whether
Mr.. Taft thinks it is one of his func-
tons to supply police force for every
part of the world inhabited by an
American. Certainly it is not his bust
ness to suppress rebellion and keep in
power what he deems 10 be the lawful
government.
There seems to be a wide departure
from the fundamental principles of this
republic.

Regarding
Jane Adams.

Many people all over the country,
who for several years have watched
with growing interest the course Of
Jane Adams. Of the Hull House In
Chicago. are wondering IL she has
nc. sold her heritage for mess Of
pottage. She rescued the fallen and
cared for the dying and in fighting and
conquering the grating politicians Of
Chicago. she was thought to be a
woman above parity.
But because Theodore Roosevelt be-
heved he could carry the female suf-
frage states by declaring for votes for
women, Miss Adams cast aside the
principles Of a life time and followed
the ignis fatuus into the Bull Moose
camp.
Neither the Republican nor the
Democratic party Is opposed to votes
for women. The piatform-makers OF
these parties know that this II not a
national question and that all the
states of the Union will give women
the right to vote. just as soon as the
women themselves desire 1t. It Is the
business of the states and not Of the
nation.
II by any strange circumstance
Roosevelt should again become presi-
dent and his sympathizers should con-
troll the congress. votes for women will
be no nearer Of national achievement
than now.
All of this seems a pity. Miss Ad-
dams having tumbled from the high
pedestal on which the American peo-
pie have placed her will not even ge,
the proverbial mess Of pottage.

Capt. r. E. Rose
Should Have the Place.

1t has come to The Journals atten-
ton that Capt. r. z. Rose, state
chemist in the department of agricul-
ture. is an applicant before the board
of drainage commissioners for APP
pointment as chief drainage engineer
to Mi the place of Major ]. o. Wright
recently resigned.
There is no man in Florida whose
heart is more completely wrapped up
in the development of the states re-
sources than is Capt. Rose, and there
Is no man. probably, who is so thor
oughly oonversant with the Everglades
section as he.
The Journal hopes that the drainage
commissioners viii consider Capt
Roses numerous qualifications for this
position and assign him to the work
Such action would reflect credit on
the board as well as on Capt. Rose.

Should Elect President
By Popular Vote.

Most Democrats and other persons,
who believe in popular form Of gov
eminent, advocate the election Of the
president and the vice president by
the direct vote of the people OF the en-
tire country, the candidate receiving
the highest number Of votes being de-
ciared elected. The only reason that
can be given for the adoption OF the
present constitutional plan OF having
an electoral college, In that the trainers
OF the constitution had to concede
something to the followers Of Alexan-
der Hamilton, who were afraid 20 trust
tho people with the reigns OF govern
ment and who wanted the government
as far removed from the people as pos
sible.
Anyway the plan is cumbrous and
unnecessary. On more than one oc-
casion it has been the cause Of frus-
trating the will of the people. This
was notably so at the time the Repub-
lican leaders stole the office from TIL
den and bestowed 1t on Hayes. It 1,
hardly conceivable that this great theft
could have been perpetrated had the
election of president by popular vote
obtained at the time.
At this time it is difficult to believs
that any reasonable doubt exists of tbs
election of Wilson and Marshall. Still
three candidates are seriously running
for president and each Of these viii
surely get large popular vote and :
considerable number Of electoral votes
This takes no account Of Debs anc
Chain and the other small fry, whe
might by some freakish accident carr,

So it is possible that neither Roose'
welt, Taft nor Governor Wilson vii
get majority of the electoral votes
