Mr.. Burton attended the law depart
ment Of the University of Virginia for
three years, and this year he went
to the Florida University. Mr.. Burton

weeks when he took the examination

animation with high honors, and con-
t'nucd his studies at this university

Will Stir Up Antagonist AMI Strife.

Thirty-four men met in Jackson
willie last week and passed reoslu-
tion that If carried out to the letter,
will disfranchise some fifteen or
twenty thousand voters in the state
ot Florida. In our opinion, this ere
ligious clause as passed 10y ths state
democratic executive committee, will
do more to stir up religious and po-
litlcal strife than anything that has
been done in the state since the civil
war. The situation is strained as it
Is, and the enforcement Of the ieso-
luton will stir up antag5nlsm and
strife such rs never has been cxpcr-
fenced in this state before. The cam
palgn now in progress gives promise

Ion /. Farris, candidate for COVER
nor Of Florida, is out with a long
statement Of his position on the po-
litico-rcligious situation o. the state
that reminds one a great deal of the
politician who announced that he was
going to tell the people exactly where
he stood in certain matter, and then
followed his announcement with a long
spiel that ultimately summer up his
position about so: "If its right, Tn
for it; If it's wrong, I'm against it. ="
-Ta1pon SprirSs Leader
There is no need for equivocation
upon the part Of any candidate in re-
gard TO this controversy. There is not
a valid reason rs to why such resolu-
tions should have been passed. There
are hundreds of reasons why they
should not have been, the chief Of
which is that they are undemocratic,
and an attempt to throttle and dis
franchise thousands of democratic
voters, democrats who will exercise
their choice in the primary, as they
have right TO do. hut who will sup
port the nominees of whatever creed
or Of no creed. We have never before
heard Of such an attempt upon the
part Of a committee, and we shall
take It that any candidate who Isl
afraid or refuses to see the injustice
Of these resolutions, would also he I'M
able to see the justice of other ques-
tions Of equal importance when he Is
elected. We have a high regard for
Mr.. Farris. but he should not equiv
ocate on question Of such moment
We hope he will espouse one side or
the other at once. We could not sup
port a candidate who believes the ex-
ecutive committee has any just right
for passing such resolutions.

consider that there are three functions

the wares Of a merchant; to present

Without the advertising the news

for the sales of any paper would not
reimburse the publishers for the blank
paper stock which is bought by the
car load and disposed of by the min

at this time published, probably, but

will cost more than is received by the

ers. Consequently 1t remains with the
advertiser to make the paper the more
readable, the more attractive. the more

wonished his people to he Of good
