The death Of William X. Adams on

One of the elements which has sup
ported the popular conception OF
Hughes's aloofness and austerity is
his beard. In day when boards are
the exception rather than the rule,
the common mind cannot imagine that
a man with Hughes's beard could ever
smile. But Hughes smiles as often
and laughs as heartily, in every day
life, as any other American. The
truth about the Hughes beard robs it
of all its terrors. Years ago, In
youth, Hughes figured in runaway
accident. He recovered completely,
but long scar on his cheek remained.
Soon after that the beard appeared
and it has been doing its kindly cuty
ever since.

Eighteen years ago this spring and
summer some hundreds of thousands
of young Americans volunteered to go
forth and bleed and die that Cuba
might be free, and the Maine suitably
remembered. The bleeding and dying
were limited mostly to regulars, and
a chosen few among the volunteers,
but there were plenty of hardships
for all in the mobilization camps
which were badly managed, and in

If the Republicans and Progressives

canvass under serious hadicap. AS

decidedly a minority President. In
1912 he received 6,293,019 votes, to

Roosevelt His vote was 100000

GIVING THE KIDS A
FAIR CHANCE

Rev. DR.. r. V. Atkisson, agent of
1.-THE juvenile court, is giving his per-
sonal attention to the two boys who
were taken from the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Venning this week, and
will see to it that the boys are placed
with people who will give them fair
chance in life.
Yesterday afternoon DR.. Atkisson
stated that he has the boys in his
charge. They are past fourteen years
of age, and two years ago were adopt
ed into the family of Mr.. and Mrs.
Switzer, of Allapattah, from an or
phanage in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Since that time Mr.. Switzer died, and
his widow married Venning.
Recent complaints of cruel treat
ment of the boys resulted in the ar
rest Of Mr.. and Mrs. Venning, and
they are now held under bond for
trial by the criminal court.
These are exceptionally fine and
bright lads" said DR.. Atkisson yes
terday, land all they need is a square
deal in life. If within my power
shall see that they get it. They have
worked hard, from before daylight to
after dark, to the neglect of their
education, although they are fifth
grade pupils"
The plan of DR.. Atkisson is to send
the boys, next Saturday, to Eddy,
Florida, and they are tickled to death
at the opportunity Of making the
change. A man named Fie, at Eddy,
who is postmaster, storekeeper and
owner of considerable property, and
who has no children, wants the boys
and says he will give them a good
home. DR.. Atkisson states that he
believes, after investigation, that it is
a fine opening for the youngsters,
who are orphans without anyone of
kin interested in them. Mr.. Fie will
adopt the boys.
The Dade county commissioners
Will assist DIR. Atkisson in this eff.
fort by meeting the expenses of trans
portation from Miami to Eddy.
Il wish we could keep them in Mi.
ami" said DR.. Atkisson, in the course
of his brief remarks to the commits.

orators have been secured by the
Anti-Saloon League and by the
LIQUOR Dealers Protective Associa-
ton.
Fifty-three counties, or more than
half of the 1O2 counties in the state
have no saloons. Half a dozen coun-
ties may be added to this list if the
foes of the saloon make a clean
sweep.
The most spectacular contests
probably will be staged in the more
important down-state cities which
have been dry for two or more years.
These include Rockford, Galesburg,
Freeport, Elgin, Bloomington, Deca-
tur, Woodstock and Sterlin. The
cities in which the dries will make
the hottest fights are East st. Louis,
Rock Island and Moline. East st.
Louis is considered impregnable wet
territory, yet the temperance agita-
ton will be concentrated there. Rock
Island and Moline, adjacent cities,
will see hot contest. The temper
ance leaders say that since Iowa be-
came dry state the saloons of these
two cities have furnished a tremen-
dous amount of liquor for citizens of
Davenport, Ia, just across the river.

Former Governor Jennings says
that the State tax commission is an
illegal body because the necessary
legal procedure was not observed by
the legislature in enacting the law
creating the commission. This is i'm
portant if true, but what really
matters is that the commission has
no power to enforce it's mandates, as
witness the refusal of so many of
the county assessors to obey its re-
cent order to assess real estate on
100 per cent valuation The Tampa
Times calls on Governor Trammell
to back up the commission in en-
forcing that order, and being a con-
sistent enemy of the governor that
paper intimates that he will not do
it. We don't know what his attitude
in the matter is, but We agree with
the Sanford Herald when it says:
AS far as Governor Trammell is
we can safely predict
that he will do what is right, Just
as he has always done and we are
willing to abide by his decision. He
will Use no snap judgment in this
matter but after mature deliberation
will give the people the benefit of
any doubt that may exist"

MORE LAW! GOD SAVE US!

More law!
What is this idle twaddle we hear
from Atlanta about the governor
plan to appeal to thelegislature for
more law to put down the work OF
the mob in Georgia? Georgia has
pplenty of law now The legislature
cannot help things by passing addi-
tional measures. We would probably
be better off if the legislature did not
pass a new law for the next ten years.
The trouble is the people do not have
the proper respect for the laws they
already have. The governor is
quoted in an Atlanta dispatch as say
ling:
UNLESS conditions are improved by
the time the general assembly meets
l shall discuss with it's members the
lynching situation thoroughly and
shall ask that the proper steps be
taken. l am of the opinion that the
Legislature will take action to stop
lynching in this State"
More law!
Governor, wake up. You've got all
the law now you want. What you
need is not statutes but vertebrate.
We have been disappointed in your
inactivity in connection with the as
saults made upon the law in Georgia
since you have been their chief exc
cutive. Decatur, Blakely and Lees
burg stand as, black marks against
you. We hold you responsible for
these lynchings to the extent that
you have been so inactive and so in
ert when it came time to do your
part in trying to locate the parties
guilty of these crimes.
More law.
1t would be comic if it were not so
tragic. What the people of the State
need is education, direction and coun-
sci so they can appreciate the value
of the laws we have already. Go out
among the people, governor, you and
the rest of those who want to win the
respect of the great body of law-abid-
ing citizens we have in Georgia, and
preach law, and obedience to it.
More law!
What for? To have it outraged when
a body of men want to storm Jail for
the purpose of wreaking vengeance or
freeing one who has their sympathy?
The idea is preposterous.
More law!
Better teach respect for that we
have. 1t is up to the governor and to
for governor and those
who seek the votes of the people for
any office to get out and declare not
for more law but for some show of
regard for the law we have.
We do not need more law. What
we want is more respect for law. And
we've got to have it or sink deeper
INTO the mire Of lawlessness.-Sava
