C'abin,'-' written by Harriet Bcecher Stowe, and the part it played in the moulding of publje opinion. Compe tent critics pronounced it overdrawn, rentinientalized. an extreme instanee rather than a typical example, but it was effective. Today the hip news papers over the country are taking up again the question of .slavery, brought about by the tragic death of young Martin Tahert of North Dakota in the fastnesses of a Florida forest, which will cause him to become the liberator of prisoners from the barb arous treatment to which they have i been subjected. Martin Tabeit, w ho had grown up j on his father's farm in North Dakota and hud perhaps never been outside of the county in which he had lived, had divided to M?e a hit of the world, and tak'ng some money with him, drifted toward Florida, working at times to increase his store. In Flor ida he found labor conditions most deplorable, and soon his money had been spent. Then he made the fatal mistake of riding on a Florida train without a ticket. He was arrested nd fined S2f>.()0 for vagrancy, ami no*, being able to pay the line he was farmed out to the Putnam Lumber | Company for ninety days.

The New York World in thin, regard has this to say: "Out of the death in a Southern convict camp of this farmer boy who started out to 'see the world' has arisen the extraordinary situation of North Dakota, as a state, protesting to Floi'da. "Out of this protest in turn has sprung the probability not only that the law will avenge the boy's death, hut th.?t . Florida will bring to an end the 'peonage' system that has involv ed thousands of wayfarers in that state through many years. Governor Hardee bus, indeed, declared his pur pose of demanding this action at the Session of the Florida legislature which begins next week." A telegram from a Northern paper )>rought this reply from The Miami (Flu.) Htrald: "Right-thinking people of Florida were appall* <1 by the charges made by tlx- senate of North Dakota. Some years ago convict leasing on the parti f of the State was abolished by statute, ' but counties were still permitted to j | lease short -time prisoners to what were thought to be proper corpora-] [t ions or individuals. The legislature ! believed 'hat it had made ample pro i visions in t hi* law -to protect all pris oners and t<> provide for their reason 1 sible comfort and absolute health. The ?Tabert incident disclosed to the peo ! pie of t h? state that its legislation i was faulty and that there are loop ! holes in the law. The "whipping j boss" through whose severity young i Tabert came to his death has been : indicted for murder in the Hist de ! gree. People in this state are hoping | that, if he is guilty of the crime, he 1 will be convicted and punished. Ther* is a strong demand for the removal and punishment of the sheriff of Leon county, through whose carelessness or i otherwise the funds sent to release young Tabert were not delivered to him. The result in all probability of this disclosure will be the immediate passage by the legislature of Florida l of a law abolishing the leasing of convicts in any county." Kquallv forthright is the statement of the editor of t ho Tairlpa Times. He telegraphs: "The punishment of Martin Tabor*, which undoubtedly brought his death, was brutal and inhuman to the last degree. No papers of any standing in the state condone or attempt to apologize for it. Many demand that the perpetrators of the horrible out-' rage be treated as common murderers and punished to the full extent of the raw. A few ignore it, fearing it will react against the state. The leasing of convicts to private persons or cor porations has been abolished as i practice of the state. It still exists: in a few counties. If the death of Martin Tabert shall lead to its total i abolishment he will not have died in I vain. We hope and believe that" the j coming legislature' will put an ever-] lasting end to the practice." Sup-erint endent Scott Resigns. Announcement Wednesday that Prof. W. M.
