BIRDS VERSUS BERRIES

And now we are to go into hyster-
les over the preservation of Robin
Redbreast. Cock Robin is a fine bird.
and he makes an excellent potpie.
Upon so good authority as the Jack
sonviIle Times-Uni it may be stated
that the robin is neither a song bird
nor insectiverous in Florida, and
therefore is of little value. He is a
northern bird who just comes down
here to escape the winters cold, and
lives in the woods. One mockingbird
is worth a legion of robins in Florida.
st Petersburg Independent.
A combat of sentiment and practice
is on about the robin. He is certainly
a most unhealthy bird for Florida
strawberry growers. One of our
friends, who formerly tried to raise
strawberries in Bradford county, tells
us how he has seen the berries ruined
in rows by the birds. 1t seems that a
robin will not eat a whole berry-if
he would, the growers would have
some chance against him. But he will
go along a row of plants and make
one peck at each berry-enough 10
ruin the fruit without satisfying him
self It's all tommy rot about their
eating nothing but bugs and worms
We have seen them eat berries hun
dreds of times Jaybirds, woodpeck-
ers and such may need protection
but the southern farmer has a right tC
a fair shot at the robin.

UNJUST, IF NOT ILLEGAL

At meeting of the Gainesville spe-
cial school district trustees held in the
office of the county superintendent
Thursday afternoon the following res
olution was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, Gainesville special school
district has no funds to enable it
to meet the incidental expenses of the
school, therefore be it resolved, that
the principal. Prof. w. II. Cassels, be
instructed to levy a fee of fifteen
cents per pupil, per month, beginning
with the month of November, 1912, for
said incidental purposes, and not to
allow any pupil to attend school unless
said fee is paid. Sun.
The Star thinks such a measure is
very unjust, even if it is legal The
state owes a public school education
to each and every one of it's children
"a tax of Is cents a pupil per month
would not be felt by the well-to-d do,
but it would be prohibitive TO many
poor families.

\ GOOD SUGGESTION

Speaking of the federal Judge for
this district in case that E. NJ Cheney
is not confirmed, there is considerable
talk favorable to A. w. Cockrell, Jr.,
one of the brightest legal minds in
Florida. Mr.. Cockrell was among the
leaders in the early stages of the
contest who took up the fight for
Woodrow Wilson. He has always
been on the side of the people, and
government by injunction would have
no chance with him on the bench. The
corporations would be given justice
but they would find no champion in
him. The federal bench today is
cursed with too many judges who are
at the mercy of some corporation
counsel and who are placed there by
the influence of representatives of
corporations. Judge Cheney, as far as
can learn, is clean, honorable. and
has the right sense of Justice He is
"a republican, however, and I hope he
will not be confirmed. This Southern
district needs a democrat on the bench,
and progressive, anti-corporat ton
democrat at that.-Dixie.

1t being decided that the amendment
giving an extra circuit court judge to
Duval county has passed, number of
candidates are out after the position.
Governor Gilchrist. we understand,
has called for a primary OF the law
yers of the county to express their
choice in the matter. We should think
this would be about as fair a method
as any. Claude LEngle prints an edi
torial in Dixie, sharply criticising eff
forts of interested parties to secure
the office for some corporation law
yer or other. We do not share the
prejudice against corporation lawyers.
but We do not think any one Of them
should ever be appointed to a Judge
ship. The people are suspicious of
them, and the suspicion adds to the
steadily increasing disrespect for law.
Most lawyers are men OF high char
acter, but not few of them are plain
ly tools of corporations, and no justice
can be expected from such on the
bench. The proper man for a judge
ship Is an experienced lawyer of gem
eral Independent practice. He needn't
have been highly successful in practice
to make a good judge, for often the
talent to make an important decision
stands in the way of winning a case.

The coroners jury, which investi-
gated the death of Preech Niles, who
was taken from the county Jail here
Thursday afternoon by mob and
lynched, rendered the following YER
diet:
The said negro, Preacher Niles,
came to his death from gun shot
wounds. and that the guns inflicting
such death wounds were in the hands
of parties unknown to the jury and
there was no evidence to lead US TO
say who did the killing"

others up. There was no curiosity
about the verdict, however. as every
body knew what il would be.

fair, held as it is in one of the best
agricultural counties occupying an in
