ber of shares of Douglas Motor
company stock of Omaha which to
date has not been delivered, it is
charged.
When David L. Fitch, attorney
for the Mcclure brothers, entered
MI. Moorefield's room at the ho-
tel with detectives, Mr.. Tenant
is said to have offered to turn over
some old stock to settle the case.
The alleged sale of the stock is
said to have been made after Mr..
Moorefield and Mr.. Tenant had
left the employ Of the Douglas Mo-
tor company. George A. Christie

AN OPEN LETTER

To the Editor of the Leesburg Com
mercial: In a recent editorial, ap-
pearing in your paper, you stated that
l belonged to that "crowd of state
senators who deliberately refused q
hearing to the newspaper men of
Florida three years ago when they
asked that the libel law of Florida he
made to conform to those in other
states; and further. that in my re-
vision of the Florida statutes / had
failed to change the law of libel to
agree with the laws of other states;
and for these reasons you could not
vote for me for the Office of attorney
general. Mr.. Editor. you have a per-
feet right to vote for any man you
wish, but you have not the right to
endeavor to prejudice the newspaper
men of Florida against my candidacy
for attorney general by erroneous
statements.
You are absolutely in error when
you state that the senate denied the
newspaper men hearing on a bill
dealing with the subject of libel.
have held a seat in the state senate
since 1910 and / challenge any man to
prove that the senate ever denied the
newspaper men of this state hear
ing upon any matter pending before
it.
Your intimation that should, in
my revision of the statutes, have re-
vised the law of libel to meet the
views of the newspaper men, and in
asmuch as l did not so revise or
change the libel law. the newspaper
men should vote against me, is a very
unfair statement. The substantive
law of libel is written into the consti-
tuition of this state. and could not
have changed it even if l had been
SO disposed. Only the people, by di-
rect vote, or by constitutional con-
vention. can change a provision of the
constitution. No commissioner has
any such power. No legislature has
the authority to change the law OF
libel as it is written in the declara-
ton of rights of the constitution Ct
1885, and which is as follows:
ain all criminal prosecutions and
civil actions for libel, the truth may
be given in evidence to the jury, and
if it shall appear that the matter
charged as libelous is true, and was
published for good motives, the party
shall be acquitted or exonerated."
Mr.. Editor, you will note that truth
is defense to libel if published for
good motives. There is nothing sim
GUAR about our libel law. 1t is the law
of most of the states of the Union,
and of most of the civilized govern
ments of the world.
I surmise that the Commercials

1t has been a matter of long con-
siGeration with the Star whether it
should vote for W. n. Sheats or Dixie
NJ. Hollins for state superintendent of
public schools. Mr.. Sheats is a fine
Old man, a personal friend and has
always been conservative and care
full rather an "old fogy," as he says
himself. We confess that we prefer
the old fogies among school teachers
they as a rule were better able TO
instil learning that remained instilled
than the teachers of today who could
better remember most of their pupils
by numbers than names. Our public
school system has become an expen-
sive crazy quilt of studies. Mr.. Sheats
has admitted to US some of the evils
OF the system. but says most of them
slipped in while he was out of Office.
But he doesn't seem to be able to get
them out again; meantime. public
school expense has mounted higher
and higher. The state is full Of young
people who are learning things they
can't or won't put to practical use.
Mr.. Hollins has also said to us that
the states system of education was
not in a good way; that the expense
| was too great in proportion to the
benefits, that there were superfiuous
studies and that if elected it would
be his aim to remedy the evils. In
the belief that the younger man will
have the greater strength and a new
broom may sweep cleaner, we expect
to vote for Mr.. Hollins. Of truth
we would prefer an alert and we'll
educated business man who had never
taught school to either. The trouble
about teachers is that most of then
subconsciously feel that they act
teaching another generation of teach
ers, and our entire state school sys
tenn feels more like the world wa
one big schoolhouse in orderly ar
rangement than the hurlyburly place
it is. Mr.. Sheats is doubtless wei
able to pursue the present dilapidatet
program. Mr.. Hollins may be able t.
improve it. We think it is best t.
give him chance, and if he does no
make good he can be given the gate il

The farmers and growers of Florida
must now stand idle in their fields
and see their crops rotting because a
bunch of union freight clerks tried to
help out some of their own ilk in an
other state, who were endeavoring to
force another railroad to make con-
cessions to it's freight clerks. Not
much wonder the farmers are talking
about raising only enough for their
own use and letting the cities starve
when they are made the goats of the
labor gitators.-Times-U Union.
The farmers and growers of Florida
should remember that said union
freight clerks are fair specimens OF
the class Mr.. Swearingen expects tc
