ION FARRIs WILL SPEAK IN OCALA

Everybody in Ocala, except those who
have arrived in the last few years, re-
members Ion Farris, the smart boy.
who was a general favorite in our
city, and has doomed up large in state
affairs since he removed to Jackson
VILE. Mr.. Farris will be one Of the
democratic orators who will address
the people of Marion county in Ocala
Saturday. Oct. Is. He Is fine speaker,
as well as a well posted and sensible
public man, and all democrats should
turn out and give him rousing well
come, for their own pleasure and the
party's good, as well as in his honor.
Mr.. Farris stands in the front rank
of Duval county's lawyers and public
men. Although yet young man, he
represented Duval in the House Of Rep
resentatives in 1907 and 1909, and hav-
ing received the party nomination in
the primaries Of 1912 Is certain to be
again a legislator in 1913. He was
speaker of the House in 1893, and will
probably occupy the same position at
the next term, as he Is very popular
among his fellow nominees, many of
whom are pledged to his support.

WILSON'S SYMPATHY

With this sentiment running through
his speeches, Governor Wilson toured
Delaware yesterday. deploring the as
sault on Col. Roosevelt and deprecat-
ing the use of violence to interrupt the
course of politics.
The democratic nominee devoted his
argument mostly to state issues in
Delaware He omitted mention Of the
progressive party and when he discuss
ed national questions attacked the ad-
ministration of President Taft, declar-
ing that there was prosperity enough
for those at the top but that 1t had not
"percblated through to the rank and
file OF the people"

knowledge of arithmetic, can calculate
and furnish medical attention for the
convicts would cost at least $12 each
per month, which for 1900 convicts
would amount TO $4,000 per month or
$4,000 a year. To this add the $780,,
900 a year loss in revenue arising from
the lease and we have a total of over
100000 a year which must be collect
ed from the taxpayers. And the tax
payers cannot stand that burden.
Now the above are facts and no
amount of clamor about the ina ginary
barbarity of the lease system can do
away with them.
Any system is liable to abuse. They
are even now shooting convicts in
Wyoming where the lease system does
not exist.
Now, who are the convicts, upon
whom so much ridiculous sympathy is
being wasted? Talk about barbarity!
They are themselves barbarians of the
worst type. They are the offscOurings
of creation, the lowest dregs of hui
manity. They are incapable of graft
tude or of any appreciation of the SYM
pathy which some people are wasting
on them. The thugs that slew -ROSen-
thai in New York are respectable spe-
cimens of Florida convicts. Bald Jack
Rose, asked if he had a conscience, an
swered he didn't know, he hadn't seen
it. Jack is the very kind of a man we
have in the Florida penitentiary, the
innocent and much abused child which
some of the Florida papers are weep
ing about.
Another specimen of a Florida con-
Wet is the Anderson negro who made
a profession of murder in Tampa and.
without any provOcation whatever,
slew men and women without discrim-
ination. He is the kind OF an innocent
whom some of the Florida papers are
trying to save from the ina ginary bar
barity of our convict lease.

the issues now before the public. With
some Of them we agree. with some we
do not, but they are all well present.
ed and deserve careful thought:
Serious Proposition
This paper has never been moved to
take stand on any proposition on ac-
count Of its popularity. 1t has oppos-
ed popular measures, as for instance,
the proposed drainage amendment of
seven years ago, and it has favored I'M
popular ones, as, for instance, the con-
Wet lease system. Its sole motive has
been the good Of the state, the best
interests of the people and the taxpay-
ers. With this end in view, 1t opposes
the initiative and referendum amend
ment. the abolition of the convict lease
system and the proposition to use the
convicts in building public highways.
On these subjects. columns might be
written, but 1t is doubtful IL anything
said or printed can change the popular
view. Nevertheless it is the duty of
the newspaper to do what IL can to
teach the people what is best for them,
even IL they do not appreciate IT. This
paper will, therefore, as briefly as pos
sible state its views on the subjects
mentioned above.
AS to the initiative and referendum,
it was doubtless conceived in the in
terests OF the people, but who are the
people? In Florida they consist of less
than $4,000 voters out of a population
of over 100000; and of these $4,000
over half have been deceived several
times. This small minority of the pop
ulation is easily misled by shrewd, de-
signing men. With the initiative and
referendum in operation. small groups
of such men would control the So
called people. There would be so
many elections that the genuine people
would take but little interest in them
and the demagogues and their follow
ers and dupes, posing as "the people"
would get the majority vote every time
We already have in modified and
safe form the initiative, referendum
and recall. A man, for example, runs
for member OF the legislature. In vot-
ing for or against him the people can
have the nitiative-demand Of him be-
fore election that he pledge himself to
inaugurate any measure they wish.
Then they have the referendum on
election day; and IL the man Is elect
ed and does not keep his pledges. two
years thereafter he can be recalled to
his home and obscurity. This is the
sane and safe method.
AS to county officers. there is a wise
and safe method for their suspension
or removal, IL proven guilty Of any
serious offence. Under the recall sys-
tenn they could be removed without any
cause at all
AS to the other proposition, the
abolition of the convict lease system
and the employment Of the convicts in
building public highways, il would
bring upon the taxpayers a greater
burden than they can bear. 1t would
wipe out the 100000 a year now de-
rived from the lease, which would have
to be replaced by direct taxation upon
the people. To this 100000 must be
added the cost OF supporting and
guarding 1900 convicts while they are
working on the roads.

and prices and having a fair
