MARIANNA CRIMINALS SHOULD
BE PUNISHED.

The Leader has felt disposed to say
little about the Mariana affair,
knowing that the matter was being
amlpy cared for by other members Of
She press of this state. We have gone
on record in recent issue as con-
femning the inaction of the board in
its neglect of the reform school, and
Of it's ludicrous attempt to whitewash
xhe whole matter.
Since, however, the legislative COM
naittee has made its report it seems
shat the time has come for something
more than the expression of right
eous indignation. The time has come
when the press and the people should
stand up and DEMAND that those re-
sponsible for the awful conditions
should be brought to justice and made
20 pay the penalty for their crime, for
crime undoubtedly has been commit
led.
The revelations made by the legisla-
tive committee are too revolving to
he reprinted. However, the people of
Florida should know the facts as
brought out and insist that the guilty
ones be punished. The mere dismissal
of an official is not enough. The mat
ter should be decided and any one
guilty of acts or negligence that have
caused such suffering, misery, and
The evening leader., 1918-12-03

doubtless loss of life, should be ar
raigned before courts of criminal ju-
risdiction and made to answer to JUS
tice.
Such horrible things must not be
permitted to pass. The fair name of
Florida must be cleansed from the
foul stencil smeared upon it by some
one. The boys who were the states
wards and were made the objects of
such acts of negligence as cannot be
found in the worst managed prison of
the nation, or even in the foreign war
prisons, must be avenged and a guar
antee established against any recur-
renee of such conditions.
Without expressing any opinion as
to who should be dealt with first, The
Leader goes on record today as de-
manding that the guilty ones be made
to answer for their crimes.

The record Of the Ukraine in war
has been perfect tangle of war. The
inhabitants fought with Poland
against Russia, with Russia against
Poland, with Poland against Turkey
with Turkey against the Tartans. The
native race in the Ukraine was the
Cossack, the fiercest strain in Russia
and that which could always be count
cd on for the most desperate and
bloody feats of arms. Pitiless, brutal
and without fear, the Ukrainean peo-
pie have given themselves to fighting
as others have to the pursuits OF

| j. C. Beekman, chairman of the COM
mittee on membership, reported prog
ress. A general discussion of adver-
tising was then entered into by the
board, the west coast route attracting
the main attention of the board. After

onded and carried that the board of
governors, together with the president

to meet with the st. Petersburg board
Wednesday night, Dec. a, to consider
ways and means of advertising the

solved that the board give it's note

cussion, and the secretary was in

1t was stated that matters relative
to advertising at the state fair in
Jacksonville were the cause of calling
the meeting. Mr.. Linn explained to
the board of governors that F. J. Zim-
norman had been employed by mem
bers to go to Jacksonville with the ex-
hibit, agreeing to pay his expenses,
but no salary. 1t had been ascertain
ed by interviewing individual mem
bers Of the city council that the coun-
Gil would, at its next meeting, support
a resolution appropriating $100 for
this purpose. On the strength of this,
individual members had raised the ne
cessary funds and dispatched Mr.
Zimmerman to Jacksonville.
By resolution it was agreed to rec
on1mend to the board of trade that a
note for the 500 be given by the
board of trade to cover this expense.

than 70 years the mysterious "yarb

medicines from herbs of the forest and
made prophecies to the country folk.
Who he was or where he came FROM

as Stnrman, but he eve revealed his
true identity. His prophecies of death
and calamity came true so surely that
the people Of the vicinity accredited
him with the powers of O wizard and
feared him.
1t is said that he predicted the pres

the early seventies that ain the las:
