There is no fault to be found with

broken in the rough elements among

to obey the law, so that it will be
easy sailing for his successor. The

their taxes by that time or suffer the
consequences. Lots of these county

Florida, which the "old company"
supplies to Palatka, and it seems
to me good enough to drink. Some
changes and improvements might
be made at the old companv's

ion, immensely superior to any

Free Speech
Orlando Reporter Star: The Con
stitution of the State provides tina
every person may fully speak ant
write his sentiments on all subjects
being responsible for the abuse Of
that right, and no law shall be pass
ed to restrain or abridge the liberty
of sneech or the press.
The free exercise and enjoyment
of religious professions and Worship
shall be forever allowed in this state;
but the liberty of conscience hereby
secured shall not be so construed as
to Justify RIGHTEOUSNESS of PRACTICES
subversive of, or inconsistent with the
peace and moral safety of the state
or society"
The Constitution of the State is the
supreme law of the land, and makes
no discrimination or distinction, but
purantees alike protection to all
forms and professions of religious
worship. All are equal before the
law.
So, the liberty of conscience and
freedom Of sneech guaranteed by the
Constitution do not mean license to
vilifv and abuse. Such is clearly in
violation of it's specifc and solemn
mandates of equal rights and privi-
leges to the free exercise and enioy-
ment of religious profession and wor-
ship.
What meaner or more damnable
thing can a man do than travel
throughout the country sowing the
seeds of discord and strife-planting
the germs of rancor and hate in the
hearts of our people? This is Slat-
tery's mission of malicious mischief,
from which he is reaping a rich har-
vest of dirty dollars. There can no
possible good come from the incul-

of which are like the horrors of hell

The COlonel's Idea

Orlando Reporter-Star: Great cri-
ses develop greatness in some men
and foolishness in others. Col. Theo.
Roosevelt. who is now in Florida to
catch devil fish, gave out an inter
view at Jacksonville in which he ad-
vocated sending an expeditionary
force abroad at once, a force to be
composed of from fifty thousand to a
hundred thousand men, and units to
be kept organizing all the while in or
der to maintain this force up to the
full strength.
The farce of the recent expedition
ary force into Mexico will not be blot
ted from the memory of the public
in long while. Expeditionary
forces are not likely to become popu-
lar with the American public after
that. Besides, what could fifty
thousand men do? Where would
they land and in what manner would
they operate to any advantage?
Fifty thousand men is a mere hand
full in this war of enormous numbers
and Quantities. Besides we will need
all the men that can be raised to
renel INVASION should it come to that.
The more the colonel talks the more it
becomes evident that the country is
fortunate in not having him as presi-
dent at this critical period.

Former governors have seldom abus-

gerous possibilities has not been re-
marked, but the high-handed acts of
the present head of affairs has
brought it in the lime light. The
people of Florida want their officers
to be efficient men, to act according
to their best judgment; they do not
want cringing serfs, who dare not
own their own souls for fear that
the autocratic boss may find a cause
for firing them. The next legislature
will probably trim the claws of car

The State Loses

Orlando Reporter Star: Because J.
G. Kellum has withdrawn from the
contest for chief clerk of the House
of Repro 5entatives the state will lose
the services of an exceptionally well
qualified attache. In his letter of
withdrawal Mr.. Kellum states that
he has never had contest for the po-
sition and doesn't desire to do so now.
He is opposed by Bryan Mack, who
was a strong supporter of Governor
Cats and is understood to have the
backing of the administration. Mr..
Kellum is secretary of the Board of
Control, and by virtue of that posi-
tion is burser of the Florida State
College for Women, which position he
has filled faithfully and efficiently.
We doubt not that Mr.. Kellum's with
drawal was wise from a standpoint
Of policy, and he can well afford to
sacrifice the smaller position. The
state is the loser.

cross examination here yesterday OF
Fred C.. wenck, Of the state athletic
committee by Emil Fuchs, attorney
for the compliments, who accuse
Wenck Of extortion. the investigation
was adjourned until next Friday at
Albany.
An important witness was snow
bound on his way here from Phila-
delphia, Mr.. Fuchs said.
Questioned as to his relations with
Tex Richard, who promoted the Will
lard Moran bout here last year,
Wenck said he knew Richard,
but not very well, and denied
ever having lunched with the
promoter before the fight. He said he
had been very careful not to meet
Richard bsk the bout az there were
rumors about graft at that time. The
lease for Madison Square Garden was
then in the name Of the National show
corporation, and he told Richard over
the telephone IL he (Riclard) became
an employee OF the show corporation,
he could promote the fight in that
way. -s....
Wenck said he had borrowed $500
from e., L. Callahan, manager OF Bob
Moha. TO help meet q note OF $500
which was coming due before his
salary check could arrive, but he had
paid this loan back to Callahan within
