The Putnam county commissioners
should be judged leniently for their
refusal to appropriate money with
which to build a high board wall to
shut out from public view the scaf-
fold upon which Slower, the negro
murderer, is to expiate his crime to-
day. There is still modicum of ven
geance attached to the execution of q
murderer, especially in the case of
one guilty of murder most foul. as
in the best it is, but this most foul.
strange and unnatural" The exc
cution of Slower will be in strict con-
formity with the law, but there is a
strong and rapidly growing sentiment
in Florida in favor of change in the
LAWN favor of private executions.
This, however, has not been the pop
ular view, and our commissioners,
brought up in the strictest sect of
the "old school," which held that the
public execution of a murderer would
have a wholesome moral effect on the
community, must not be held blanca
bic for not advancing as rapidly to-
ward the modern aestheticism as some
of their fellows.

An Opportunity to Make Good

Wauchula Advocate: The panic
and the low prices of citrus fruit
resulting, therefrom for the season
lust closing is giving the Florida
Citrus Exchange new life. The ci-
trus growers recognize as never be-
fore the necessity of cooperation and
how the Exchange has fell far short
of filling its mission, and instead of
gaining prestige from year to year
as successful organization should.
it has hardly held its own until new
life has been infused into it by a pan
ic. The panic has given it another
opportunity? 1t has many friends
who hope to see it adopt better meth

One of the Best Laws

Pensacola News: One of the best
laws passed by the assembly this year
was the Farris bill giving "home
rule" to cities. AS the governor
recommended such a measure in his
message he is sure to approve the
Farris bill. Bills similar to the one
introduced by Senator Farris have
been considered at two or three form
er sessions of the legislature. For
some reason they were not passed.
The Farris bill will not only give the
cities of the state home rule in the
fullest extent but will save about one
half of the time of succeeding legis-
latures.

SLAVES LOST AND
TOOK PRZEMYSL.

"Przemysl has fallen." 1t has fall
en- again. Pity the poor victims tina
fell with it, and the poor victim!
that caused it to fall, for they in theil
turn, fell too.
Kings pulled the strings and the
peasant puppets danced the dance Of
death. They fought to enslave each
other, to set up their several kings as
ccnquerors.
1t was not for this that Kosicusko
founght and fell. 1t was rot for this
that Kossuth fought, not for this that
Carl Schurz revolted, not for this
that the Belgian workers struck, not
for this that Robert Emmett died, not
for this that Robert de Lisle wrote
and sang his Marseillaise with its
rousing cry of "Ye sons of France,
awake to glory"
They fight like puppets at the bid
of kings and autocracieS whose ar
maments were piled up to intimidate
the people as much as to prepare for
monarchial revenge. The govern
ments Of Europe were maintained on
the prestige of military and naval
glory, and the dumb worker was fed
with illusions of the glory of national
autocracies.
War palsied the hands of the Rus
sian workers in St. Petersburg and
Moscow who but yesterday were about
to strike for liberty, and of Brus-
sells who were smarting under the in.
suits of their king and parliament.
All this bloodshed, all this violence
that kings may better rule and mill
tarists and navalists may better grind
the people.
In the name of civilization the
London workman is compelled to slay
his German fellow worker. Why?
For liberty? Is it for liberty that
the Russian moujik energies from his
sodden hut to strike his fellow Slav
at Przemysl? Was it for liberty
that the deluded Belgium workman,
denied the ballot, illiterate, oppress-
ed, was asked to swell the rejoicings
in Brussels when Belgium Joined
the allies in the imagined march on
Berlin? Was it for liberty that the
German soldier crossed into France at
Argonne?
No, not for liberty. Not for bet
ter constitutions, better laws, not for
industrial justice, not for rights for
their children.
For the emancipation of ones fel-
low man from the insutferable rule of
autocracies and parasites what man
will not fight to the death singing
his forbidden "Marseillaise."
Now, Now the dangerous storm is
rolling
Which treacherous kings confeder-
ate raise;
The dogs of war, let loose, are
bowling.
And; 10! our fields and cities
blaze.
Like beasts of burden they would
load US,
Like gods would bid their slaves
adore;
But man is man, and who is more?
Then shall they longer lash and :
goad US?
For the further enslavement of Eu- )
rope to kings and autocracies what G
man but a slave would fight, and /
what men but slaves took Pezemysl." !

The State Sunday School Conven-

school meeting ever held in the state
ION to Americas" seems to be the
thought in the minds of hundreds of
Sunday school workers over the state.
The Americas people have made
big preparations for the convention,
and planned to entertain at least one
thousand delegates. All delegates
will be entertained without cost
while in the city.
The program for the convention is
arranged to touch almost every
phase Of Sunday school work. The
speakers are some of the best Sun
day school workers to be found in
the state, and each one is we'll in
formed on the subject he is to dis

remember they are the words of a

approve of them:
81 can understand why young
bloods go in for dancing, but some
of you old ginks-good night.
Ma and | stopped to look at a
ball at an inauguration ceremony.
Well, I'll be hornswoggled if I didn t
see a woman there dancing with all
the men, and she wore a collar of her
gown around her waist. She had a
little corset on-Oh, / can't describe
it. You stand there and watch man
after man as he claims her hand and
puts his name on her list. You stand
there and watch your wife folded in
his long, voluptuOus, sensual en-
brace, their bodies swaying one
against the other, their limbs twining
and entwining, her head resting on
his breast, they breathe the same vi
tiated air beneath the glittering can
delabra and the spell of the music,
and you stand there and tell me there
is no harm in it! You are too low
down for me! -
Indicted BY Verse.
Dean West then quotes Mr.. Sum
day on another point of alleged Of
fensiveness:
" why, man with red blood in
his veins can't look at half the wo-
men on the streets now and not have
impure thoughts.
" Little girl, you look so small,
Don't you wear no clothes at all?
Don't you wear no chemise skirt?
Don't you wear no pretty shirt?
Don't you wear no underclothes?
But your corset and your hOse?'
mo decent person can read these
quotations without shame, Dean
West asserts. He closes his letter
with the following:
ooh, in the name of decency and
of the purity and sanctity of our
Christian faith, Princeton University
positively refuses to approve Mr.
Sundays performances as suitable
for the edification of our students. In
times of hysterical excitement we
think it our duty and right to stand
firm against all inflammatory mob

clear, but it estimates that it must
be at least $150,000.
Constitution Violated?
In making some of these demands
the bank alleges that Mr.. Williams
has violated the fourth and fifth
amendments to the constitution pro-
h1b1ting unreasonable searches and
seizures and forcing any one to be
a witness against himself.
In February last, according to the
bill, MIR. Williams wrote to the bank
asking if its officers had DESTROYED
any of it's records. On March 30. it
further sets forth, he demanded a
complete history of the loans of the
Riggs bank to it's present officers,
and gave notice that for failure to
comply with like request made on
January 2 it was assessed a penalty
of 5000.
The next day formal demand for
payment of these fines made by two
bank examiners was refused. On
April l quarterly installment of the
interest on 100000 of 2 per cents
held by the Riggs-in the controIl-
er's custody to secure it's circuIa-
tion-came due. The controller, the
complaint sets forth, "wrongfully
and unlawfully' ordered the treasur-
er of the United States to withhold
the payment of the interest.
In this connection the bill alleges
that Mr.. McAdoo ''had usurped" the
power of the treasurer.
The bill asks that Mr.. Williams be
enjoined from revOking the Riggs
designation as a depository for the
reserves of other national banks or
refusing to approve it as such depos-
itary. An injunction to restrain Mr..
McAdoo from usurping the powers"
of the treasurer of the United States
also is asked. The court also is ask
ed to find the sections of the revised
statutes dealing with the examina-
ton of banks unconstitutional and
void if they must be construed as
they have been and are being con-
strued and enforced" by the defend
ants.

out a statement outlining at length
their view of the events of the last
year which led up to the proceedings

To all appearances Huerta has
changed but little since leaving Mex
