Upon previous occasion these
individuals have. with characterize
ical1y conspicuous ill-breeding, gra-
tuitously thrust into the field OF con-
troversy the name of the respected
gentleman who preceded the present
writer in the occupancy of the chair
which the latter now holds Neither
cur predecessor nor ourselves has
ever been guilty of the glaringly
bad taste Of instituting comparisons
between our work, and the present
writer will not now so far prove false
to the rules OF good-breeding and the
instincts of a gentleman as to write
one syllable in reply to the insinua-
lions made to our disadvantage. If
parallels We will leave the task to
other hands, being very sure that no
Judgment will be based upon the in
solently intrusive opinions Of the
Times Union.
The likening to a goat is not alto
gether as offensive to US as it was
evidently designed to be, for that
animal possesses at least combative-
ness and the readiness to defend his
rights. He is a far nobler animal
than the hog from which naught can
be expected save a grunt and the
offensive odor of its filthy surround
ings.

trained newspaper man understands,
and that judges and lawyers under
stand even better.
AS for the influence of lawyer on
a jury, a lawyer goes into court to
take care of the interests of his
client. 1t is not only matter of
business but matter of honor with
him to clear his client if he can. A
murderer looks like bloody crimi-
fnal to the public at large, but to his
lawyer he is a trust, and a sacred
one, too. 1t is not so much to the
interest of the criminal class as it is
to the interest of the public at large
that every man accused of crime
should have a fair trial and as good
lawyer as he can obtain.
But the juror should realize that
the lawyer is doing everything in his
power to secure verdict for his
client, and should therefore trust
more to his own intelligence and to
the evidence than to the attempts of
the attorney to influence him. Law
yers by their e1oquence and shrewd-
ness have saved many innocent men,
and have caused many guilty men to
be condemned. But the same talents
have caused many more guilty men
to escape.
The faults in our legal system ar :
not so much due to the lawyers as
they are to the people. Almost ev
cry improvement in the courts has
, been due to the lawyers and judges.
|, The public has been shy is doing its
part, and the greatest stumbling
| block in the way of justice is the
overpowering disposition of our best
| citizens to dodge jury duty.
| 1t is fair tactics on the part of
| lawyers defending a criminal to OBJ
| tain jurors they think will be liable
/ to acquit him, to mislead the jurors
/ If they can, or do anything so long
as they do not try to pack juries OF
introduce perjured witnesses. A
| lawyer defending an innocent man
always wants the best jurors and the
| best evidence obtainable,> and there
are comparatively few judges who
do not wish justice to be done. II
| the public would do its share, the
courts would contain little terror fol
an honest man.
1t seems to the. Star, which may
be prejudiced, but thinks it isn't
that Judge Bullock made a just and
wise decision in refusing a change
o. venue. II his. decision is upheld
it will go a long way toward dissi
pating the old and harmful supersti
ton that only ignorant jurors cal
render just verdicts.

The Grunt of a Hog

Our attention has been directed
by an editorial in the Tampa Tribune
OF yesterday morning to character
istic deliverance of the Jacksonville
Times-Union said to have been pub
lished in a recent issue Of that pa
per. We overlooked the article when
it was printed and, as we do not
keep a file Of the Times-Unfon, We
cannot now find it. We are now at
tempting to make reply entirely
upon what our local contemporary
says of the contents of the publica-
tion.
It appears that the Times-Union
has said that the estimable and able
gentleman who formerly occupied the
position of editorial writer upon the
| staff of the Times has been succeed
ed by billy goat" and states that
it arrives at this conclusion because
| it knows of no animal that has as
little discretion.
| It is seldom that the superannuat-
ed grannies that furnish the matter
with which the so-called editorial
| page of the somnolent singer OF
filthy yituperation is filed awake
| sufficiently to become aware Of what
| is being discussed in the columns OF
/ the newspapers of the state; and
when their sleep is disturbed sufl-
/ GENTLY for a dim perception to steal
upon their density that there Is
something stirring that concerns

EXTENSION OF PARCEL
POST OPERATIONS

Making it possible to send a pack
age by parcels post weighing as
much as fifty pounds, provided that
it does not have to be carried more
than $50 miles, new laws governing
the parcels post system went into
effect Jan. 1. The cost for these
packages will be one cent per pound
plus four cents
Beyond the second zone, or the
1 so mile limit, packages weighing
as much as twenty pounds can be
mailed at the same rate of a cent a
pound plus six cents in the third
zone, or between $50 and 500 miles,
seven cents for the fourth zone, be-
tween 800 and 600 miles, eight cents
IL the fifth zone, from 600 to 1000,
and nine cents in the sixth zone,
tons of pounds will be counted as
full pounds in rating postage.
After March 16, 1914, the parcels
post will be extended so as to in
clude books in the list of articles
that may be shipped by it. For all
! books weighing more than eight
ounces the rate will be one cent for
each two ounces or fraction thereof.
Just what effect the new regula-
| tions will have on local mail is not
known, though it will doubtless
mean some addition to the bulk and
| weight of the mail now received.

Star knows, the only one in the
world using heavier than air craft.
Several dirigible balloon lines are in
successful operation in Germany, and
some months ago an aeroplane line
was Instituted between two French
cities, but it does not seem to have
been a success.

JACKSONVILLE ON THE JOB

A move has been started in Jack
sonville to induce the president to
appoint Geo. R. de Saussure, vice
president of the Barnett National
Bank, the Florida member of the
Federal Reserve Board.
Jacksonville is on the job as usual,
and if it doesn't corner everything in
sight, it will not be the fault of its
enterprising citizens.
Mr. de Saussure is an excellent cit
iZen and a splendid financier, but
there are other excellent citizens and
splendid financiers in parts of the
state that have not yet been recog-
nized in distribution of federal offices
by this administration.
as this city has no friends at court,
but in view of the ability of the gen.
tleman and the unfair deal given his
city in the customs matter, it would
seem appropriate to give this office
to j. As Griffin, a prominent banker
of Tampa. He was born and raised
next to one Of their own residents,
would be gratified by his appoint
ment.
The Star has never yet accused
Jacksonville of being swinfsh, but ii
may have to sometime in the future
