With a view of securing road build

The commissioners were the guests

They left the Gem City at 8 o'clock
and arrived here at p. m.
1t was the intention Of the mem
bers of the Duval county board to
meet the visitors at the st. Johns
county line and escort them into the
city. 1t was intended to meet the
party at 3 p. M, but the Putnam
county citizens are hustlers when
they get started.

When they reached the city, how
ever, they were met by Lake Jones,
who Immediately got in communica-
ton with the members of DuvaPs
board, with the result that the vlsi-
tors were taken to the Burbridge no.
tel. After luncheon, piloted by the
Duval county commissioners, the Wis
itors went over the county's hard
surfaced roads north of the city, a
visit also being made to the county
prison farm, now under construction.
When seen by a representative Of
the Times Union at the Burbridge
last night Mr.. Davis said: eve are
becoming very much enthused over
good roads in Putnam and it was

DEAD LETTER" LOTTERIES.

One of the odd contradictions of Government
policy has been presented for many years in the
Postofice Departments annual dead letter" lottery
sale, conducted by the department for whose guild
ance the stringent anti-lottery laws were enacted
The Louisiana State Lottery became great and
corruptng evil, and it made long and skillful fight
for its life In order to put it out of business to clear
away every possible techncality behind which il
might hide, laws were passed which reached very
much farther than the lottery ITSELF Their consruc-
ton has made them an Interference with a great
many things which most people regard as thoroughly
harmless. = q.
On the other hand, while the department re-
morselessly hunts down and suppresses everything
that could possibly be esteemed violation of the
lottery laws it holds the dead letter sale" which is
quite the biggest gamble of its kind in the land.
The average patron of the Louisiana Lottery got
something of run for his money; he was able to
ascertain something like an understanding of the
mathematical chance he Stood and there was no
doubt that some big prizes were honestly drawn and
promptly paid. Which is better than can be said of
the mon sight, non seen" dead letter lottery
The postal authorities are announcing that the
big annual sale in Washington is to be discontinued
and instead each of the fifteen railway mail service
divisions in the country will have smaller auction
once year. Perhaps this is an Improvement it is
not very apparent however. If lotteries are vo-
lently Objectionable TO the Governments sensibIites
why not stop them entirely instead OF substituting
fifteen little ones for a single big one2 At least il
would be more consistent with tieapolicy and moral
standards that the Government sets UP for other
folks.

THE MACHINES LAST EFFORT.

The Maryland State Democratic committee's
meeting at Baltimore yesterday was sort of party
council to consider whether the old machine had a
chance to put over" Congressman Talbot for the
short term Senatorshp, against Blair Lee. Not that
the machine has loved Talbot more, but Lee less,
since the last gubernatoria primary fight 1t has be-
come simple case of anything to beat Lee" and
there has been no more ardent element in organizing
the fight against Lee than the old machine right in
his home county of Montgomery. In fact, the State
politicians have recently been brought realize that
the home fight on'Lee is in effect contest for con-
troi of Montgomery county between Lee and the
Peter brothers. While the ant-Lee forces in Mont
gomery county have tried to nise innocents believe
that their fight against Lees legislative ticket was
not hostile to Lee himself, the wise politicians at
Baltimore recognized the true character of the strug-
gle and called it by its right name: fight to beat
Lee at home, in the hope that It would so injure him
that he might later be eliminated in the State at
large.
But the accounts all agree that the lastminute
Talbot candidacy did not present flourishing as
pect. The Eastern Shore boys came in with gloomy
looks and assurances that the job of beating Lee at
any COST and with anybody who could scrape up the
votes, too big; their people had come to under
stand that sort of politics so we'll that they didn't
take the bait any more.
That is the real trouble with this whole desperate
effort of the old Maryland gang. The gang has hap
pened on times when the people are too wise to be
fooled The sort of stuff that went" few short
years ago doesn't even get started nowadays Every
body knows that except the purblnd leaders of tory
ism, who, in Maryland as elsewhere refuse to see;
or, seeing never manage to understand.

WHAT'S THE LAW FOR, ANYHOW?

member of Congress who pulled, a knife on
another man, in a hotel cafe atercation, and sue
ceeded in infcting superficial wound isreported to
entertain no ill-wll toward his victim, now that he
has had time to think it all over, and to be willing
that the matter should drop. even reported that
the Congressman is so magnaninous as not to want
to see the other man lose his job!
Could charity and Christian amiabifity go far
ther! BY all MEANS a man who has the bad manners
tc get in the way of Congressman with knife and
tbereupon is carved, ought to be punished for his
presumption!
1t is possible that gentlemen in high official sta
ton may enjoy immunity, in this town, in such cases
this; but if il is sad reflection the attitude
of Congress and the position of the local authorities
Precisely as exceptionally high ideals of public duty
and official propriety are presumed to be kept in
mind by men who are part of the Government, so
these same men ought to be expected to set good
example to the, community of respect for the laws
they make.
Who is going to respect the law, that is supposed
&c be made for everybody if men who help make that
law are, in effect, granted immunity that makes
them superior to the law?
The cases of public men who get into brawls and
disgrace themselves and the station they occupy
ought not to be dropped or winked at There should
be the same law and the same enforcement for high
and low, rich and poor; and the saying of that ought
not to be silly bit of cant, either
