from the liberation with which this

The French postal authorities are
considering the issue of series of
stamps with new design. Instead OF
Roty's familiar "Sower" the new
stamps will have a picture of the Elf
fcl Tower with an acroplane flying
over it. The reason for this change IS
that the present stamp is very easily
copied by forgers. The proposed new
design is meeting with much criticism.
II is said that if the government must
supcrscde Roty's graceful figure 4
might be something more pleasing than

The Florida Convict
Lease System.

The Literary Digest Of a week ago
contains some extracts from a mag
azine article in which the writer as
sails Florfdass convict lease system
as cruel, bar*barous. and inhun1an.
and paints # as a species OF modern
slavery that is a disgrace to Florida
and to civilization.
The Journal has no apology to
make for the convict lease system
either in Florida or anywhere else.
1t Is opposed to the system and has
made its opposition known for years.
The system is antiquated. out of
keeping with present day civilization,
and it ought to be abolished.
But so far as the treatment of
FIorida's convicts themselves are
concerned, we doubt If there is a
state in the union whose convicts en-
Joy the health, labor, food. and SAM
tary advantages that are a part Of the
Florida system
Florida state convicts. whose work is
confined almost exclusively to the
turpentine camps have no harder Ia
Dor than the free turpentine workers
who do the same kind Of work Their
food is provided under the strictest of
state regulations and inspection and is
ample and wholesome. Their cloth
ing, including shoes and even night
shirts, is adequate in every way.
Their camps are clean and sanitary,
provided with comfortable beds, clean
sheets, and baths which the men are
compelled to use. Their work being
entirely out of doors in a climate that
is the healthiest in the world is ma
turany conducive to good health.
The greater part Of FIorida's con-
victs are negroes, and those who are
familiar with the negro's habits of life,
will readily agree that the avera ge
negro who goes to the convict camp
gets better food, better sleeping quar-
tiers, better sanitation, and enjoys bet
ter health than he dtd before his con-
viction. How many negro convicts
ever wore clean night shirts, or any
kind of night shirts, before they got
into the convict camp?
The man, white of black. who has
to serve a term in the penitentiary is
an unfortunate creature at the best.
But such an unfortunate, if he were
familiar with the conditions In each
Of the states, would. we believe, pre-
fer Florida to any of the others were
it in his power to choose when serv-
ing a, penal sentence.
The Journal says all this simply in
the interest of truth and does not
want to be understood as in any way
defending the convict lease system.
The system is bad in principle and
ought to be abolished. The traffic in
flesh and blood for private gain has
no place in a civilized commonwealth.
The place for convicts is upon public
works. preferably public roads. But
SO far as the convict himself is con-
cerned, the Florida. convict is better
treated today than are the convicts of
any other state in the union. and most
of them live better than they did be-
fore they began serving sentence.

VOX POPULI,
ADVOCATES CALLING WET
AND DRY ELECTION

Editor Pensa cola Journal:
Reading the paper I noticed Mr..
Keyser's piece in paper stating that
our city government was run by the
liquor people, and I must say that he
is right.
I am in favor of getting up petitions
asking the county commissioners to
call an election to see if liquors shall
be sold or not. The last election we
had was stolen from us. But l be-
HeVe that our commissioners will
give US now good and reliable gentle
men for our inspectors.
I for one will take a petition around
getting signatures asking that an
election be held and believe with the
help of our good and law abiding cit
liens that we can put it in the dry
column.
Hoping you will publish this letter
so that we can hear from others and
start the ball a rolling.
Yours truly,

Let Us Have a
Sane Fourth.

From many sources now, the pro
tests are coming against an insane
Fourth OF July-for that is what our
national holiday has become.
1t IS safe to say that Independence
Day will be celebrated this year all
over the United States, as it has been
celebrated for many years. The boys
viii fire miniature cannons and ex-
plode fireworks, and set off crackers,
and generally disport themselves, as
boys will on the Glorious Fourth.
But. even though boys will be boys,
and get their faces smudgy and their
hands black and burn themselves,
and generally raise Cain, still it does
behoove every parent of growing
son, to see that he does not entirely
lose his head, either metaphorically
or literally.
There are ways to enjoy the Fourth
that are not insane ways. There are
cannon crackers that are some cracker
and not all cannon. There are some
fireworks that make a noise. without
being as deadly as they sound
There are some sports that are not
as warlike as others. and the young
should be allowed to make merry but
not too merry.
ious Fourth but a sane Fourth. too.
And we can have and should have
both.
