A SIGNIFICANT TREND

Efforts to secure jury to try a
case OF alleged murder. now before
the circuit court OF this county, in
dictate that there is a growing senti-
ment against the infliction of capital
punishment in this section OF the
State OF Florida.
One hundred and seventy-fve men
/ have been summoned to appear be-
fore the court to qualify as jurymen.
An unprecedented number of the men
who have been examined have stated
on thir oaths that they were con-
scientiously opposed to the death
penalty. and have, therefore been
excused from service.
We may we'll imagine that the re-
luctance to serve on any jury and
especially the reluctance that every
right minded man has OF being
placed in a position where It might
become his duty to pronounce the

inals are not sufficiently advanced
( us yet not to make difference
between him and the white man of
the same class. We are unable to
believe that the criminal negro can
be controlled by any other threat
than that the extreme crime shall
meet the extreme penalty
In states where the death penalty
has been abolished there are figures
to show that capital crimes have de-
creased, although we must not put
too much confidence in such figures.
The history of our own states does
not furnish any data that goes to
prove that the death penalty tends
in any manner to reduce the number
Of crimes for which it is exacted.
Our difficulty comes in the mat
ter Of pardons. Too many men are
released before serving their full
terms. and the doubt is always felt
that those convicted of murder and
like crimes would be compelled to
suffer the full penalty If life i'm
| prisonment were the extreme pen
atty. In that the people. them
selves, are the chief offenders. They
are too easily led to sign petitions
for pardons and to assist in bringing
pressure on the pardoning board to
show mercy to convicted criminals.
Until such time as there can be
better regulations of the issuance of
pardons, when the people themselves
refrain from interfering with JUS
tice. we may not expect to see much
change in the sentiment as to execu-
tions, but incidents like those re-
corded in our own court within the
week tend materially to show that
the people are gaining new light on
the question Of capital punishment
and that in time Florida will take
her place among those humane
states that have abolished 1t alto

The Japanese government has deco
rated" Capt Sherburne G. Hopkins in
recognition of services rendered by him
to Japan. o.
The unique distinction of being Gre
ated a "two-sword- man" at this late
date in history. has been bestowed upon
him as a result of services of Capt
Hopkins to the Japanese navy during
the war with Russia, eleven years ago.
At that time Capt. Hopkins was closely
associated with Capt. Isam Takeshita,
naval attache at Washington, in charge
of intelligence work for Japan through
out the Americas. Capt Hopkins for
some years has been active, also, in
