NEW YORK. April 2S.-To the av-

His passion is to run up as big a

When Andre Lcbrasseur dropped

All he had was promise to pay

SPEEDY JUSTICE

A speedy trial is one of the rights
guaranteed by the constitution of the
United States, and a great many
newspapers claim that the delay in
our courts, caused by legal technical
tiles and the subterfuges of attorneys,
are among the things that give birth
to mob violence and the setting OF
the courts at defiance, yet Tampa
newspaper says the speedy trial that
was given to Johnson, the negro rap
ist. was in a measure worse than
turning him over to the vengeance OF
the mob.
The Lakeland Telegram takes a
different view of the trial. 1t says:
The capture, trial and conviction
Of that negro rape fend up in Ocala
within four days after he committed
the diabolical crime shows what the
law can do when the conditions are
right and it is speeded up to public
sentiment. And the negro was de-
prived Of none of his legal rights, and
got absolute justice"

FRANK CLARK ON FLORIDA

In closing his speech in replying to
the remarks of Congressman Mann,
who compared Florida crackers" to
lack rabbits" Congressman Frank
Clark says:
Il cannot let this opportunity pass
without calling attention to the fact
that Florida has only been in the
Union sixty-eight years; the civil war
and other causes delayed her devel-
opment and she really only began her
march of progress within the last
quarter of a century. Her resources
have hardly been touched, and no hu-
man mind can foresee the possibili-
ties in store for her To the original
pioneer, those sturdy Americans un-
lettered it's true, but as brave, patri
otic souls as ever heard the war cry
of the savage who conquered Florida
is due the credit of giving the mag
nificent domain to the American Tn
ion"

The Menace, a so-called newspaper,
printed at Aurora, Missouri. that
deals usually in scare-heads, says
that President Taft should be i'm
peached because of his collusion
with the Roman Catholic hierarchy
Now, the president belongs to the
Unitarian church. and there is a wide
gulf separating it from the Roman
Catholic church. Indeed a great
many good people regard the Unita-
rian belief so closely correlated to no
belief at all that the matter was Sc
riously discussed about making it a
campaign issue, but fairer counsel
prevailed, and it was not done. So
the idea of there being a collusion be-
tween Unitarianism and Catholicism
is too ridiculous for comment.

Dr. J. j. Head. in accordance with the
pledge that he made the people be-
fore they elected him to that office,
turned into the county school fund
the sum of $12.5o0 from the revenues
OF the county treasurer's office.
There were a few, but they were
those who did not know the man,
who were a little incredulous in re-

before his election. The event has

word. DR.. Head will long be held in

is THE PULPIT WANING?

The New York Sun, speaking of the
late Dr. Robert Collyer, said he is
what the mediavalists would have ap-
piled the phrase. Athlete of God.
The eloquent blacksmith" as he was
frequently called, died at the age OF
S4. The Sun prints a correspondent )
Renaissance of the DR.. Collyer OF
earlier days when he was a figure con
spicuous in two continents. Dr. Mi
not j. Savage recalls how he came
to this country from Yorkshire. "a
blacksmith and a Methodist home
preacher" He early went to the Uni
tartan church and DR.. Furness was
his spiritual father DR.. Savage
writes
about that time the late Moncure
D. Conway was the Unitarian minis
ter in Cincinnati. About TO be mar
ried, he wished DR.. Furness to go or
and perform the ceremony. It was
not easy in those days for him to ge-
a supply for his pulpit. He decided
to give the young blacksmith a
chance to try his wings. He told his
trustees that he would be gone two
Sundays, but that il they were diss4t-
isfed with the supply they could send
him word. and he would return after
the first Sunday. But the word that
they did send MIN was that he could
stay as long as he pleased
soon the young preacher went to
Chicago and took charge of a aew
bit Of mission work. It grew. as ell
the world knows, till Or. Collyer bo-
came q figure tall enough TO be seen

which as an appeal to our money-giv-
ers he called the Lincoln Tower.
He was to lecture in Chicago, and
|, with hundreds of others, helped TO
crowd the hall It was a wild and
stormy day After We were gathered
"a telegram came saying the speake-
would be an hour late. The man
ager was in despair. How could a
crowd like that sit still and wait for
a solid hour? Then he spied Mr..
Collyer and came and asked him if he
would not help him out. Then I. for
one, was amazed at the readiness and
power of this man. He climbed to
the platform and spoke for an hour
till DR.. Halls arrival was announced.
And his address was so fine, so en-
tertaining, so strong that the lecturer
who came after him was a sompIete
anti-climax. The audience would have
had more than its moneys worth II
DR.. Hall had been five hours late in
stead of one.
