1T WOULD BE A DISGRACE

There is a move on foot to pardon
Mendenhall, and the Tampa Times
correctly expresses public sentiment
when it says:
Recently it has been rumored that
efforts were soon to be made to Sc
cure a pardon for j. J. Mendenhall,
of Clearwater, who committed the
most iendish crime ever perpetrated
by white man in Florida when he
murdered Mrs. C. W. Eliot and daugh-
ter, Susie, and burned their bodies in
an effort to hide his crime. This in
spite of the fact that Mendenhall has
served only few months of his life
term. The laws of the state and the
laws of justice demanded. that Men
denhall pay the death penalty for his
double crime, but to the disgust of the
people of this section he escaped the
gallows. He was fortunate indeed
when he escaped lynching, and the
Times sincerely hopes, for the sake
Of respect for law and order, that no
effort will be made to secure a par
don for him now or at any other time.
Mendenhall had no more right to
escape the gallows than Will Miles,
negro rapist and murderer, who is
being guarded by state troops while
on trial at Bradentown. In fact, Men
denhall, the intelligent and highly re-
spected white man, deserves less
sympathy than the ignorant, vicious
negro, who deserves none. In refus-
ing to lynch Mendenhall and Miles
the men of South Florida have made
it evident that they wish to respect
the law and courts. That wish will
lose much strength if j. ]. Mendenhall
is allowed freedom by the pardoning
board, and even if his attorneys make
an effort to secure his freedom. In
the name of decency, forget it.

TEMPERANCE NOTES
CBy the National Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union.)
THE DIsPENsARY SYSTEM
FAIL LIRE


Mr.. Alfred Mock, and some others,
would have us believe that the dis
pensary or state control system of
dealing with the liquor traffic is ideal.
They would have the public believe
that it has not been tried on this side
the Atlantic. Intelligent people know
better. South Carolina, after trying
it for Is years, repealed its state dis
pensary law and made 1t optional
with the counties to continue the dis
pensaries. County after county voted
them out, and in 1915 South Carolina
adopted statewide prohibition, the leg
islature enacting last winter "bone-
dry" law.
The system was tried In Saskatche-
wan, Canada, found unsatisfactory,
and last year, by a vote of nearly ten
to one, was abandoned for straight
prohibition throughout the province.
To any friends of temperance who
may be hating between two opinions,
we commend the book by the we'll
known writer, Ernest Gordon, 1.-THE
Breakdown Of the Gothenburg Sys-
tenn" Mr.. Gordon spent several years
In Sweden and his testimony Is first
hand.
No well-informed, conscientious tenn
perance man or woman will be found
advocating the dispensary system to-
day.

IT'S THE REAL THING

Eloquent tribute to Russian valor,
says the New York Herald, is paid by
German war correspondents tele-
graphing from the Galician front. In
the minds of those observers there is
no question that the Russian drive is
the real thing. 'Their air service -
explains one correspondent, quoted in
cable dispatch to the Globe, "was
quite prepared for the most difficult
tasks. Their railroads were ready,
efficient and resourceful. They had
plenty of big guns, greater than ever
before. They had many tanks"
The people of Germany are advised
that this Russian advance bears no
semblance to a fash in pan. "Worse
days are coming" predict the CORES
pondents, and one of them adds by
way of explanation:
at was obvious that the Russians
knew what they were fighting for.
They fight like people who no longer
fight for a tyrant"
There is something ominous for the
kaiser in that.

Shipment of many important COM
nlodities out of the United States
except under federal license will be
barred on and after July Is by Presi-
dent Wilson's proclamation, putting
into operation the recent act of Con-
gress authorizing government control
OF exports. The list of commodities
includes all munitions, foodstuffs and
fertilizers. Americas needs will be
given first consideration, the allies
next and then the neutral nations, ac-
cording to statement issued by the
president on the new policy. Every
effort will be made to prevent sup
plies reaching the central powers. The
fact that foodstuffs are included in the
prohibition is believed to account to
a substantiation of report that a
60-day embargo on all foodstuffs is
under consideration. This period
would afford opportunity to ascertain
the amount of the nations supplies
ard allow the allies and neutrals to
prepare full program of their re-
quirements.
