AN EXAMPLE WORTH MILLIONS

The tragedy at Ocala was closed
"Wednesday with the execution of the
guilty negro. Unless the Tribune is
mistaken, this breaks all records for
speedy disposition of capital case.
The week following the commission
OF the crime the criminal paid the
penalty-and all by due process of
law. There was no detail omitted,
and every right of the defendant was
provided for. By formal indictment,
arraignment, trial, conviction and
sentence, there was orderly proceed
ure of the court, and the prisoner was
given the benefit of counsel and the
opportunity to summon any witness
desired for his defense. There was
nothing in this that savored of lynch
or mob law. The mob was superseded
by a judicial tribunal and the penalty
was pronounced not by an excited
gathering of enraged men, but by a
jury of twelve, sitting in the sover-
eign majesty of their high office.
How much better this report to the
world at large, yes, and to the crimi-
nal element, too, than the sensational
headlines and narrowing details OF
summar. punishment, Let it but be
understood that the rapist may be le-
gally tried and executed within
week of his crime and the mob will
lose its calling and the reason for its
existence, while the bestial criminal
will be brought to greater fear of the
consequence of his misdeeds-the
mob-victim dies with something of
martyrdom clinging to his swinging
carcass, but the duly condemned and
executed criminal has no such
glamour.
The example of Marion county is to
be commended far and wide; not only
the law-abiding spirit manifested by
enraged citizens in leaving the dispo-
sition of the case to the constituted
authorities, but also the promptness
and efficiency shown by the officers
of the law in melting proper punish
ment to the miserable subject.-Tam-
pa Tribune.

MIAMI WoMAN'S CLUB TO HAVE
BUILDING

This morning at II o'clock the first
sod will be turned in the preparation
of the foundation for the building of
the Woman's Club that is TO be erect
ed at the southeast corner of Avenue
B and Twelfth street, on the lot donat-
ed for the purpose by Henry NJ Flag
LEI
Though an suspicious event in the
history of woman's sphere in Miami,
there will be no ceremony other than
the disturbing of the first piece of
earth. A new spade will be provided
for the purpose, and a number OF
members of the club will applaud
Mrs. A. Leight Monroe, president of
the Womans Club corporation, and
Mrs. T. V. Moore, president OF the
club, when they jointly turn over the
first shovelful of dirt The spade will
afterwards be gilded, and upon the
completion of the building will occu-
py the place of honor in the forum.
The ladies expect to be able 10 lay
the corner stone within two weeks,
at which time the occasion will be
made one of more formality The
building will cost $4,000.
Securing a permanent home for the
club has only been made possible
through the generosity of Mr.. H. NJ.
Flagler, and the untiring efforts of
several of the most active members of
the club. Financing the erection of
the building has been a difficult prob
lem, and, while adequate funds are on
hand to meet that cost, a considera-
BILE portion of it has been secured
through the good offices of several
gentlemen who came to their assist
ance There is not, and will not be
any incumberance on the property,
but several thousand dollars will be
required to reimburse the friends
whose temporary accommodation has
made the acceptance of Mr.. Flagler's
gift and the erection of the building
ossible.-Miami Herald.

EARTHsLIDE is FILLING CANAL

Occording to information received
at Washington Friday, great earth
slides have started again in Culebra
Cut in the Panama canal, and one of
the slides alone is expected to throw
a million yards of earth and rock into
the canal unless the steam shovel
crews succeed in checking it.
Another slide at Cucuracha was
supposed to have halted two years
ago, but again has begun to move
rapidly and the earth sank four feet
in seventeen minutes on the after
noon of January 2, completely cover
ing two railroad tracks.
The engineers anticipated these
movements and had allowed for them
in their estimates, but it will take a
months work of the giant steam SHOW
els to get rid of the debris

Bryan's Commoner states that a few
years ago nine out of ten voters would
throw back their shoulders, thrust
out their chests and piously exclaim.
4 never scratch my ticket! l. never
bolt, vote 'er straight" How many
times did you hear that during the
1912 campaign? Not often; but about
that proportion would just as proudly
exclaim: 4 scratch my ticket and
vote for the best man, regardless OF
party" Good! Isn't that the reason
why We won?-Fort Meade Leader.
Not on your life. Had not Tam
many been loyal to him, had all the
'reactionaries" scratched" their tick
cts, Mr.. Woodrow Wilson would have
been defeated world without end. If
Mr.. Bryan's example is followed, and
men begin to scratch" their tickets
it will be a sad day for the democrat
ic party, and the south will have trou-
bles she now wots not of. The advice
OF this paper is to be loyal to your
party and faithful to your political OBJ
legations.

THE PERFECT WOMAN

A Cornell professor has discovered
the perfect woman" is one who
weighs al pounds, is five feet seven
inches tall, and has a chest o 346
inches. Why would a pound or so
less, or a fraction of an inch more,
destroy the type of the perfect wo-
MANI"
A publication called American
Medicine" says that the perfect fe-
male physique can never be described
in terms of the scales and tape meas
ure. Size has never been a quality.
The real test of a perfect female form
has ever been it's symmetry and the
relative balance of its anatomic fea-
lures: that is, no matter what the
size, a form approaches perfection to
the extent that the chest, the waist,
the hips and other parts bear a cor
rect and symmetrical relation to each
other"
Proportion, it is suggested, is the
key to the whole discussion. But the
perfect woman" to be perfect, must
be ''nobly planned"
The Pensacola papers declare that
the young maidens who inhabit that
city, although they may possess freck-
les, are nevertheless perfect beauties,
and Solomon was no SLOUGH in his de-
scription of what constitutes a beau
tiful woman. After his wonderful de-
scription of her outward charms, he
tells us that she must possess many
inward attributes to be perfect. She
must not alone be yirtuous, but she
must be gracious, and when she pos
sesses these attributes he tells us
that she is to be honored among men,
and likens her to crown jewel

The people who read newspapers
are not the ones who vote grafters

they those who buy gold bricks or in

from frauds and impositions Of all
kinds, for which service alone they de-
serve the cordial support of the pub

A PISTOL DUEL IN NASHVILLE

A special from Nashville, under
date of January 18th, says that des-
perate pistol duel was fought there
by James Taggart, proprietor of a
steamboat that bears his name, and
Deputy Sheriff T. ]. Westbrooks
Taggart was shot five times and is
believed TO be fatally injured. West
brooks was shot twice, and died f1f-
teen minutes later. Taggart is said to
have been reprimanded for running
his engine with pop off," Since the
reprimand there has been bad blood
between the men.

All right; let's have the recall OF
judges and judicial decisions; and
then, when a fellow starts out with a
petition for the recall let the Judge
order the sheriff to arrest the culprit

head of the recall. There's a lot of
