Nomination by the Courts.

The Ocala Banner is correct in
its assertion that to the average
person it makes little difference
who is governor, but the Banner
will agree that considerably more
numerously than by the "aver-
age person" is interest felt in the
way" the governor is nominal
ed. The people do not want a
nomination by the courts.-Miami
Metropolis.
The Bryan primary law, under
which the election for the gubernato-
rial nomination was held, must, like
all other laws, be defined and inter-
preted by the courts.
Under our system of government
all elections are held under the enact
ment of laws and in all cases the
law, to be operative, must be strict
ly observed.
The law provides certain rules and
regulations, and when it is alleged
that these rules and regulations have
been ignored or disregarded, or er-
rors, intentional or otherwise, have
been committed, there is no other
way provided except an appeal to the
courts.
When a grave question of doubt
arose as to the election of a presi-
dent in 1876 commission-which is
the same as court-was appointed
to decide the dispute and the decision
of the commission-then believed and
now known to have been wrong-had
to be accepted.
There was no appeal.
In the same year in this state it
was charged that the republican state
canvassing board had made wrong
full canvass of the returns, so an ap-
peal was made to the courts and re-
count was ordered.
The recount showed that fragrant
errors had been committed, so upon
a re-canvass of the returns the cer-
tificate of election was given to
George F. Drew, the democratic NOM
inee, and he was seated as governor.
1t was then and is still believed to
have been the best days work a court
ever did for this state.
When the mandates of the courts
are disregardcd or denied we may be
said to be in state of revolution.
1t is not denied that free people
always have the right of revolution,
but it is not a safe thing always to
indulge in to settle supposed or real
grievances.
The precedents that we have cited
above are by no means exceptional
The law books contain quite num-
Der of them.
In this state since the time of Gov
ernor Drew there have been several
other presidents.
The courts simply order recount
men of high character and strict
probity of honor are appointed to do
the re-counting. The work is done
under the supervision of the court, as
is now being done in this county in
the contest for sheriff, so that the
true will of the people may be de-
clared.
That is all.
A recount in this state may find
that Mr. Cats has a much larger vote
than the canvass already made has
given him.
In that case he will not be the
courts candidate. He will, beyond
the per adventure of doubt, be the
peoples choice, as Knott will be if it
is found that mistakes enough in the
count were made to give him a ma
iority of the votes cast in the primary
election.
In that event he will truly become
the peoples candidate, or so many Of
them as participated in the primary.

EDWIN H. HIGLEY.

Prof. Edwin Hall Higley died in
Groton, Mass, last Friday, after a
brief illness Of. pneumonia. Although it
is more than thirty years since he was a
Professor at Middlebury College, he was
well known in this community. He was a
frequent attendant at the college COM
mencements and often visited his sis
ter, the late Miss Emma Higley. Few
alumni of the college were more highly
respected or more deeply loved.
Professor Higley was born in Castle
ton in l843. He entered college with
the class of 1864 but when Sophomore
enlisted in the famous First Vermont
Cavalry. He served during the entire
war and attained the rank of Captain.
He was made Major by brevet when he
left the service in 1865. He was nine
months in rebel prisons, once escaping
but being recaptured He would never
apply for a pension. After the war he
re-entered college and graduated the
valedictorian of the class of 1868. From
1872 to 1882 he was professor of Greek
and German. Later he studied in
Germany and for the past thirty years
had been Master in Greek and German
in the celebrated Groton School. He
was a great teacher, man who eX-
ercsed a strong influence over his
pupils. Middlebury college conferred
the degree of Doctor of Laws upon him
in 1901.
Professor Higley was one of the COM
pany who for many years have camped
each summer on Knights Island, Lake
Champlain, some of the others being
Professor Brainerd Kellogg, DR.. Ezra
Brainerd, and Prof. D. Nc Gregor
Means.
Funeral services were held in the
chapel of the Groton School Monday
afternoon and the interment was in

WARNING TO FARMERS.

The county agent has the following
letter from man who treated his seed
oats with the formaldehyde solution for
the purpose Of preventing smut.
Il have had an experience in treat
ing oats with formaldehyde that may
interest you. was present at your
demonstration at Mr.. Osborns and
later commenced work on my seed
grain. had yearling colt that kept
in box stall not far from the grain
that had been treated, but separated
by door, and window was openin the
stable besides several holes for throw
ing down hay. ! treated some oats at
night and the next afternoon the colt
died very suddenly without showing any
signs of illness. An autopsy revealed
the fact that she died from acute con-
gestion of the lungs, the whole tissue
being solid like liver. | called the at
tention of a physician to the case and
it was his opinion that the colts death
was the result of breathing the fumes
of formaldehyde. If this is so | think
that people should be warned to use the
drug more carefully than | did, | write
you this that in case you never heard of
a case like it you might be forewarned
and warn others that may use it!'
This is a very unusual case and the
county agent certainly never did hear of
similar one. All should take heed for
the fumes of this drug are deadly
poisonous, in fact it is necessary to
have the fumes circulate around the
seed in order to kill the smut organisms.
1t is hardly probable that the formalde-
hyde was the only cause of the colts
death, but they probably added irrita-
ton to an already present disease.
After the fumes have evaporated and
the grain is dry the danger is past. 1t
is we'll to look out for this if you are
using this drug.
