The Journals second proposition is
that Mr.. Underwood's interests are
just as safe in the hands of the orig
inal Wilson men who will be delegates
as they are in the hands of the original
Harmon men who will be delegates.
The Journals third proposition is
that, if there is any danger at all, Mr..
Underwood's chances will be safer with
the original Wilson delegates-who
wanted a southern man-than with
the original Harmon delegates-wi
wanted a northern man.
Isn't that logical? And if it is not
logical, then why not? Let US look at
Mr.. Lambright's own case. He orig
inally announced for Harmon, a north
ern man. He not only wanted Har-
mon. but he was opposed TO Under
wood. Here is what he wrote edi-
torially for the Tribune about the
southern candidate:
That he would not carry a state out
ern states and that the result of the
ill-advised selection would be land
slide for the Republican ticket, there
can be no question with any man who
knows anything at all about national
politics.
The nomination OF Mr. Underwood
would mean for the Democratic party
more crushing defeat than 1t has
ever received, even under the leader.
ship of Mr.. Bryan. The Tribune hopes
that the party will not be led into such
stupendous folly. If the party desires
to absolutely throw away all it's bright
prospects of victory, we cannot think
of more certain method.
Has any former Wilson candidate d
delegate said anything like that about
Mr.. Underwood? And is there any rea.
son for believing that Mr.. Lambright
who did say it, is, because he said it
any safer custodian Of Mr.. Underwood
interests than are the other candidates
who didn't say it?

shouldn't the men who ran in the frs

Keep Cool
Brother Lanbiight.

Brother E. d. LambrigAt, candidate
for delegate at large to the national
convention and the man who does the
heavy work on the editorial page OF
the Tampa Tribune, seems to be un-
duly alarmed over the possibility of a
Progressive delegation being elected
from Florida.
Mr.. Lambright takes particular ex-
ception to The Journals proposition
that the interests of Mr.. Underwood
will be as safe, and possibly more safe
in the hands of men who were orig
inally for Wilson as they will in the
hands Of men who were originally for
Harmon.
Mr.. Lambright himself, having been
originally for Harmon, thinks this is a
reflection on him and his associates
on the ticket, and he proceeds to say
some veYy unkind things about the
editor of The Journal. Despite the
fact that there is not the remotest
foundation for any of the unkind things
that Brother Lambright says, we are
not going to fall out with him. He
may be elected and we may have tc
share with him at Baltimore one Of
those high-priced hotel rooms which
Brother T. A. Jennings has so kindly
reserved for us. We may also have
to borrow money from him. Under
those circumstances we desire above
all things to keep on good terms will

Titanic Investigation
By the British.

The British are going into the IT,
tanic disaster as thoroughly as the
senate investigating committee did,
and the officers of the Californian are
being censured as well as the officers
of the Carpathia for not remaining in
the vicinity of the disaster for a
longer time to try to give aid to those
on RATS and pieces of wreckage.
Five men in one Of the lifeboats
have been found, having met death by
starvation and thirst. Other bodies
have been found on life RATS and life
preservers.
1t appears that the vessels might
have remained longer near the scene
If their officers had not apparently
cared more for making fast records
than giving aid to helpless human
beings.

Beginning the
Final Round.

Some few days ago The Journal said
that the Republican primary-in Massa-
chusetts would probably decide the
nominee of the Republican party for
president and the chances are that it
would have decided had not the can
d1dates been given an even break
there. Since that time Colonel Roose-
Welt has been winning almost daily
and 1t appears that unless he is vir-
tually showed under in Ohio Tuesday
nothing can stop him except a good
progressive Democrat in his effort to
once more be master of the White
House.
Unless President Taft carries Ohio
he might as we'll dust his golf stick
and engage him a caddy while the
weather is good. BY winning Ohio
Colonel Roosevelt will have gained
enough prestige to receive the nomi-
nation on the first ballot.
On the other hand the colonel needs
Ohio to keep him from being cast
into oblivion, although he claims he
can win the nomination without Ohio
his assertion, however, does not ap-
pear to be based upon facts.
1t is claimed that the Cox machine
has united with the Roosevelt forces
and there is possibility of the colone
| beating President Taft in his home
state.
In the meantime It is not a gooG
idea to place more than thirty-flve oil
forty cents on the result of the Ohic
election, because politics is the
strangest thing in the world, unles:
perhaps, why the people, vote fol

Conditions at the
Reform School.

In discussing report on the Florida
state reform school by Mrs. Frank e.
Jennings, an active member of the
legislative committee of the Florida
Federation of women's Clubs. the
Jacksonville Metropolis says:
Investigation at the school showed
that while the white children are being
neatly kept and properly cared for at
present. under the management of
superintendent John Milton, his pre-
decessor, is alleged to have been in
tho habit OF brutally beating his
charges.
There is. however, no adequate place
to care for the sick, nor can the pres
ent quarters be arranged to care for
girl inmates, except 1t be to the detri-
ment of the entire school.
In the negro school conditions are
shown to be heartrending, the commit
TIE comparing IL to a convict camp
The school Is crowded and contains
only two sleeping rooms. In one room
We're found nineteen cots with upper
and lower. berths, and In the other
thirteen.
Insufficient food and unsanitary con-
ditions make necessary many reforms
The committee suggests that there arc
enough able bodied boys in the reform
school to cultivate all the land owned
by the school, IL the state will furnish
means to purchase live stock and
farming implements sufficient to work
them. and the committee recommends
that this be done. Many other recon-
mendations made by the committee
deserve the consideration Of all right
thinking citizens Of Florida, as the
present conditions are lamentable in
the extreme.
The Journal has no reason to doubt
the report for Mrs. Jennings has in
terested herself in doing something
for the betterment Of conditions ever
since she came to Florida, and If con-
ditions are as she reports, then it is
time something is being done to rem
edy them OF all the institutions In
the state the reform school should be
given first attention and the surround.
ings should be of nature to give the
boys occasion to have uplifting
thoughts.
We would suggest that Brother Os-
car Moore, OF the Mariana Times
Courier. investigate the conditions OF
the state reform school and see thai
the information is given into the right
hands that the school may be properly
equipped.

Col. Toorner and
Freak Legislation.

Whenever we hear a man boast
about being opposed to freak legisla-
tion," we begin to get suspicious Of
him. OF course all of us, or probably
80 per cent of us, are opposed to freak
legislation, whatever that may be, but
we don't find it necessary to go around
boasting of it.
The fact that a man begins to ad-
vertise his opposition to freak legis-
lation always leads us to inquire what
particular legislation he has reference
to. Nearly all of the Progressive legis-
lation of the past ten years was once
called freak legislation. The laws pro-
viding for direct primaries, railroad
commissions. public control OF public
service corporations, initiative and ref
erendum, pure foods and drugs, con-
trol of insurance companies, publicity
of campaign contributions and expen-
ditures-all these and many others
have been characterized as freak legis-
llation although few people call them
that now.
Therefore when Col W. NJ. Toomer,
candidate for congressman at large,
tells US that when in Georgia he was
conspicuous in his opposition to freak
legislation of all kinds" and that he
is now opposed to ILL considered, ex-
perimental legislation which is revo-
lutionary and incapable of being har-
monized with our established form of
national and state government'-when
~ fa1lz oil - =,
! feeling Of curiosity as to just what he
means by it.
We regret that Col. Toomer could
not be more specific. The terms he
uses are exactly the terms that have
| in the past, been applied to some OF
our most desirable and valuable legis-
| lation. They are the terms which
every Reactionary and Special In
terest advocate uses when he talks
about Progressive reform.
! &, Col. Toomer of course does not par
ticularize as to what he means by
these terms. though 1t ought to be
very easy for him to do so and we
| trust he will do so before the campaign
closes.
