The removal of Mendenhall, the
convicted murderer from the Jail at
Clearwater to the Jail at Ocala seems
to have been a precaution to prevent
possible attack by a mob and repeti-
ton of the Frank lynching in Geor-
gia. But the Clearwater Sun wants
1t understood that the mob spirit in
this instance was not in Clearwater.
but in neighboring city. Thwarting
mobs Is all we'll enough, and 1t is
good policy on thepart of sheriff
to omit no precaution to insure the
safety Of his prisoner, but the evils
OF lynch law will never be cured by
merely thwarting the would-be
lynchers. Nothing less than medi-
cine as drastic as that they prescribe
for their victims will cure them of
their distemper, and some of these
days some sheriff will happen alon :
who will administer the dose.

EDITH CAVILL HEROINE
AND MARTYR

The name of Edith Cavill, the
English nurse shot by the German
military authorities in Belgium,
takes place in history as one of
the worlds heroines; while the
names of the German officers who are
responsible for the act are linked
with Robespierre, Danton and Marat.
The broad humanitarian aims Of
this woman, her calm and exalted
courage, her consciousness that she
had committed no wrong, her refusal
TO ask for clemency, her forgiveness
of her brutal enemies, encircle her
name with an immortal aureole.
Under the strict Interpretation vi
military law, which authorizes and
sanctions murder, she may have been
guilty of punishable offense. That
IS OF no consequence. II she was
technically spy, that might well
have been waived in view of the fact
that she was a woman, and one of
the noblest of her sex.
This case emphasizes the reuug-
nance of the moral sentiment of
mankind to the execution of women
as spies. Many women were sus-
pected of such acts during the civil
war. We do not recall, and do not
believe. that the records of that four
years of bitter conflict can show a
sini:le instance, Union or Confeder-
at, where a woman was executed as
a spy.
Clemency to women is a noble trait
of tn masculine mind. Where an
other Talleyrand to characterize the
execution of Edith Cavell he might
repeat his grim epigram: 1T is
worse than crime, it is a blunder."
Herman Ridder, the German
American editor in New York, who
is ardently pro-German in this war,
is not able to approveof the execu
tion of Miss Cavell, and thinks that
II the case had been brought to the
attention of the Kaiser the cruel
iced would not have been done. Per-
haps not, although the German EN-
peror is the war lord of Europe
Great credit is due to Brand Whit
lCck. American minister to Belgium.
for his resolute, though unsuccessful
efforts to save the life of Edith Ca
veil. Won Kissing, the representative
OF the Kaiser in Belgium, is the man
directly responsible for the deed, and
ms name will be execrated in i'm
partial history for all time.-Jack-

CONCERNING EDITORS WIVES

Every time an editor leaves his job
and the wife runs the paper during
his absence every other newspaper
in the state remarks about the i'm
provement. That is probably one
reason most of us stay on the job so
close.-Clearwater Sun.
That CUFF about the wife getting
olt the paper is one of the doses of
taffy men are always feeding to the
other sex. When the editor is away
from home, the foreman and the
devil get out the paper and the wife
gets the credit. The average editor S
wife would ruin paper if she man
aged it two weeks.-Ocala Star.
The above may be the experience
OF those editors who have average
wives; but it does not apply so far
as the Evening Telegram is con-
cerned. This office has a newspaper
woman, resourceful enough and with
sufficient initiative and knowledge of
the technicalities of the business to
get out the paper, even if the fore
man and the devil should go on a
visit to the home of the latter The
editors wife has been left in abso-
lutte charge of this paper. not for
Two weeks, but for month or more
at a time, and so far from running"
the paper, every department was
kept up fully as well, if not better,
than when the editor was on the job.
There are editors wives and editors
wives and some of them are in
finitely more capable of running
n newspapers than are many editors

SOUTHERNERS IN NEW YORK

The United States census shows
that there are 364,3 II people living
in New York city who were born in
other states. AS the children OF
people who had moved from other
, states if born after their arrival in
New York would be natives of New
York and so counted it is safe to as
sumo that counting parents born out
side of New York and children born
tc them after their removal to that
city New Yorh's total population
drawn from other states is nearly
three-quarters of a million.
Counting Missouri and Delaware
as Southern as well as the other
states that arc always so counted
there ere 59.7I9 Southerners in New
York. In view of the prominence of
Southern men in all walks of life
Commerce and Finance, published in
New York, expresses establishment
that there are SO few 1t probably
fanled to realize the fact that count
inS the children of these people as
Sou.herners thctotal of the South's
contributions to the great city would
amount to more than two hundred
thousand. Commerce and Finance
says:

it ever will change"

COAST LINE EXTENSION
BEING TALKED AGAIN

Talk about the Atlantic Coast Line
building from Perry to Monticello
has been revived No one who has
studied the conditions doubts that
this stretch Of road will be built, the
only question being, when?
Eighteen months ago the Herald
had information that the construc-
ton force of the Coast Line in Flor
ida had been ordered to proceed with
this work. This information came
from the head of the construction
company at lifetime they were en-
gagged in strengthening the road oed
and laying heavy rail on the Perry
division of the road The route
from Perry to Monticello had prev
iously been surveyed and there was
apparently no obstacle in the way of
a rapid contamination of the plans
when the European war began. This
caused temporary abandonment of
the work.
Coast Line is preparing to start con-
struction on an extension of their
Haynes city division, to run from
Sebrine in DeSoto county, south in
to Lee county. 1t is reported that
this work will be rushed to compile
ton, and from a source not to be
doubted, the Herald learns that when
this work is done, the machinery and
men will be transferred to begin
work on the Perry Monticello divis-
ion.
The people of this section of Flor
ida, as well as those to the south,
Tampa especially. look forward to
the completion of this connecting
link. Through trains from Chicago
and st. Louis to Tampa via Perry
will be reality then, and a good
many hours and several hundred
miles will be saved by the building
of the link 1t will give south Flor
ida a shorter and more direct route
over which to ship citrus fruits in
to the middle west. and to receive in
return the products shipped from
the middle west into South Florida
Perry expects to receive many
benefits from the building of this
Ink, the chief of which may not yet
be divulged. but the fact that it will
give the section a trunk line north
and south is a cause for gratifica-
ton. Also Perry will rejoice to be
brought into such close touch with
Tampa. for all Taylor county feels
good toward the South Florida me-
tropolis. And there are Monticello |
and Townsville. People of those
two good towns have always longed !
for a more direct way of reaching
