Mr.. SWIFT of Kennebec: Mr.. Presi-
dent, 1 again ask the indulgence of the
Senate to introduce a resolve out of
order, and in explanation l wish to
say that yesterday afternoon Mr..
James Smith, an old time resident of
Augusta, came to me asking if there
was not some way in which State
aid-he only receives 81 per month,
might be increased. accordingly
went with him to the pension depart
ment, and the pension agent after
noting his condition and his circum
stances expressed the opinion that
possibly an act should have been pass
ed granting him State pension at this
session. Acting upon this suggestion
I had drawn this resolve and ask I'M
animous consent to introduce it, grant
ing to him a State pension of $40
per month. He is now II years OF
age with. wife dependent upon him
for support. He lives in rented
house, paying $40 month, and his
only income is United States pension
Of So per quarter and State aid of $
per month.
For years he has suffered from
shaking palsy and for five years he
has been unable to feed himself. He
was present in the State House yes
terday afternoon and I know that
many members met him. If there is
any disposition on the part of any

TRIBUNE Is TRIBULATED

A citizen of Ocala asks the Star if
a white man has ever been hung In
Florida for the murder of a woman.
We can't remember any; If any there
ever was. he must have been pauper
as well as a murderer. 1t Is In the
power of the ladies TO even things up
however. If they VIII only kill some
Of the men who deserve to be killed.

Florida juries will acquit them
Ocala Star.
Bonnie Henson, a white man, was
hanged in Tampa for the murder of a
woman-his wife. He was not pau
per but the next thing to It. At any
rate, he didn't have enough money TO
carry on a prolonged and expensive
fight for his life.
The Stars suggestion TO the women

advised and dangerous. Of course, If
they would pick out only the men
"who deserve to be killed. it wouldn't
/ be so bad-but the woman who makes
up her mind to kill is going to Kill

it's attention to the Henson case. II

Tribune and the News support the
Stars contention, saying that one o.
the men punished was a pauper an'
the other very poor.
The Mendenhall case has not in tn
least got on the Stars nerves, ant
the Tribune needn't be tribulated owe
the Stars advice, for it hasn't advis
ed murder but justice. Any man wh'
betrays a woman and then desert
her deserves to be killed; and if

There Is a saying that a lie can
run seven leagues while truth is put
ting on its boots That lie, however,
which "Bloxham" politician coined,
regarding a Marion county bond issue
to cut a canal from Silver Springs to
Ocala, and tried to pass current thru
the Gainesville Sun, Jacksonville Me
tropolis and Tampa Tribune, was
soon caught up with, for the Star not
only denounced it in its own columns
but put its contemporaries wise to
the fact they were being used as
catspaws. The Metropolis and the
Tribune published the letters sent
them by the Star, and the Sun pub
Iished in full the Stars editorial of
the 10th, showing up the scheme. All
these papers have circulation in Mar
ion and Levy counties, and the "Blox-
hamite'' in whose mind the plot orig
mated has found his little boom turn
into a boomerang with disconcert-
ing suddenness.

45 years of age. The bereaved widow

Nobody killed those Eliot women
on the Green Springs road from
Tampa to Clearwater. They shot and
burned themselves. That will be
clearly proved by the lawyers engag-

charged with the murder of the two
women. IF the case could be trans
ferred to Virginia or England, some
one would be convicted and hung fol
the crime.-Punta Gorda Herald.

Wednesday night, at the Panama
Pacific Exposition, former President
Roosevelt delivered an address on
preparedness, which closed with the
following utterance:
FINALLY and most important, let us
remember that there can be no eff
ciont preparedness against war un-
less we prepare our own souls. If we
become soft and fiabby physically and
morally we shall fail. No nation
ever amounted to anything if its
population was composed of pacify-
lists and poltroons, if its sons did not
have the fighting edge, if its women
did not feel as the mothers of Wash
ington's continentais felt, as the
mothers of the men who followed
Grant and Lee felt; men who are not

fit to live in a free democracy. The
only women fit to be wives and moth

Captain f. B. Richardson, our old
time and esteemed fellow citizen, now
of Homosassa, was a guest of the
Harrington last night, and passed
yesterday afternoon and this morning
greeting his numerous old friends.
Ocala has always missed Captain
Richardson, who was one of the city's
most public-spirited and courteous
men. The captain sharply criticises
the Homosassa and Ocala train sched-
ule, which he says is a great dis
enlargement to tourists, as well as
inconvenient to local travel.

A citizen of Ocala asks the Star if
a white man has ever been hung in
Florida for the murder of woman.
We can't remember any; if any there
ever was, he must have been a pauper
as well as a murderer.-Ocala Star.
!. Yes, Brother Benjamin irwin Han
chett, white boy, who killed Miss
Tedder at Glenwood, was hanged in
Volusia county a few years ago. This
is the only case we recall Hanchett
was pauper, and the crime, while
most revolving, was not so bad as the
Pinellas county crime, where two
women were killed in cold blood and
their bodies burned.-DeLand News.
1t is strange that the Star forgot
this case, as it took particular note
of it at the time.
