This custom Of fning a man or
"a corporation for violating any
law has become foolish. 1t is not
q real punishment to the offender
and it contributes little or nothing
towards his reformation,
If a poor man transgresses the
law and is given the alternative
of a hundred dollars fine or nine
|ty days in Jail, in most cases his
friends will put up the money to
keep him out of prison ard then
he will have to starve his family
to repay his friends, if he repays
them at all. This is especially
the case with habitual petty Grim
mails, such as pickpockets, who,
if not organized into bands, are
bound by ties of sympathy which
prompt them to help each other
out of trouble.
Take our youthful thigh roll
lers:" one of them is convicted
Of violating the speed ordinance
and fined $500. His parents
pay the fine, The is not punished
at all--and pretty soon he again
breaks the law. Another fine OF
$4,000 is paid by his parents and
he goes free to violate the law
again as soon as he likes. But
suppose his parents are in moder-
ate circumstances and he commits
the more serious offense of EN-.
bezzling a thousand dollars and
is fined double that amount with
the alternative of serving two
years in prison. His parents
mortgage their home and impover-
ish themselves to pay him out and
he feels that he has won tri-
1umph.
A railroad company is fined
five thousand dollars for violat-
Ing some law and the money of
the innocent stockholders is used
to pay the fine. The actual per-
|petrators Of the offense escape all
punishment.
The remedy, is plain and simple !:
abolish fines and infict personal
imprisonment for every violation
of law that is not capital offense.
But, if this remedy is adopted,
it should it should be supplement-
ed by the abolition of the fee
system; otherwise, the taxpayers
and not the criminals would have
to pay the fees and costs in all
cases of arrest and conviction.

/, THAT OLD PLATFORM

Much has been said recently a.
bout the binding force Of that
part of the Baltimore platform
which declares for the free pas
sage through the Panama canal
of American coast-wise vessels.
AS to this,it may be remarked and
that truthfully, that of the eleven
hundred delegates in the Balti-
more convention, not one-fifth Of
them knew that the platform con-
tanned any such declaration. Not
one-fourth Of the delegates heard
the reading of the platform and
not half of them read it after it
was adopted and published.
The convention was a bowling
mob and only those within thirty
feet of the chairman could hear
anything that was read or spoken
nor did they know what was be-
ing done until they read it in the
newspapers afterwards.
During the outrageous disorder
and uproar that prevailed, it
would have been possible to read
and have adopted the platform Of
the Chicago Republican conven-
ton. The delegates were weary
and disguised and they were
ready to vote for almost any old
thing that would end their labors
and release them from the robber-
les being perpetrated upon them.
AS to the tolls exemption clau-
Sc, we believe that poll of the
delegates now, since the matter
has been so widely discussed,
would show that three-fourths
OF them are opposed to the ex-
emption. This little paper fav-
ors the repeal Of the tolls exemp-
tion clause in the Panama canal
bill, not because Great Britain
demanded it, but because it is OPP
posed to granting special favors
to ships as well as to railroads,
oil companies and wholesale meat |
packers.

pie: Wauchula, with its eight

missioner for the Punta Gorda
district the most unpopular man
in this quarter of the county, for
Punta Gorda has less than half
the voters of Wauchula. And
how are the people Of Wauchula
to know who is the best or most
acceptable man for this district
We are not afraid that Wau-
chula would knowingly impose up
on us man who is incompetent or
is distasteful to us, but it could
be done easily.
In view Of these possibilities,
THE HERALD urges, nay, de-
mands that the county executive
committee assemble forthwith and
make rules and regulations pro-
viding that, in the approaching
primary election, commissioners
shall be nominated by districts,
that each district shall nominate
its own commissioner, and that
no commissioner shall be nominal
ed by the vote of the whole coun-
ty.
1t is all right for the whole
county, in the general election in
November, to vote for the noni-

rage when the big districts are
permitted to dictate who shall be
the nominees of the small ones.

Minneapolis, March 20.-The NUT

two years against grain marketing IA
cilities here developed into concerted
action today when hundreds of farmers
gathered here for conference on CO.
operative marketing. Senator Robert
NJ LaFollette was scheduled for an
address. The farmers for some time
have been fighting the Minneapolis
chamber of commerce through the
Equity Co-Operative association. They
claim that as the result of the mar
keting conditions here, the farmer
receives only "A per cent of the mar
ket value of the grain he ships. In
fact, they claim that through unfavor-
able marketing conditions, grain rails
ing in North and South Dakota is
not profitable and they intend to find
out who has been getting 56 per
cent of the market value Of the grain.
Meetings have been held in other
parts of the northwest and the con-
