No, Mr.. Southwick; the cold fact is our
State isnot making satisfactory progress,
and as candid, reasonable men, having
her welfare at heart we should lay aside
all prejudice" and seek the cause. The
very fact that we have fallen behind our
sister States is proof that in some respect
we are deficient. Is it any fault of our
own, or is our State so deficient in natlr-
al resources as to make progress impossi-
BILE. 1t is certainly one or both If | was
to answer that proposition | should say
unhesitatingly our State is all right, and
that ourstupid clingingt to superannuated
customs and laws and ideas is keeping us
back. The Florida ship of state needs a
new, up to the times, progressive man
agement We want a management that
will dare to use the sails instead of blind
ly cllnging to the anchor. Wewant to see
the ship of state start out on long voy-
age on the boundless sea ofprogress. We
don't want her any longer to lie at an
chor, sailless and rudderIess, on the desc
late shores of conservatism, covered all
over with sea weed and barnacles.
To make our voyage sure and swift we
must take lessons of those who have gone
before and are safely and swiftly going
ahead.
Friend Southwick, let us again read
carefully and profit by those words Of
Burns:
"Oh wad some power the giftie gle us,
To sac ourselves as ithers sac us;
1t wad frae many blunder free us,
And foolish notion"

100 years ago last April, he is giving
Florida's educational facilities another
sly hit.
Well, perhaps it was unjust to compare
Florida's progress with old Massachu-
setts. So | will now compare her
agricultural progress with the State
nearest her own age. I thought to do
it at first, but had not the heart to be
SO unnecessarily cruel to Florida know
Mr.. Southwick's Fcharity, his manhood,
his sense of Justice and the right" will ad-
NIT the fairness of this comparison, and
it will please him as well.
Florida was admitted into the Union in
March 1916, and has not since ''camped
upon the battlefelds'' except of her own
choosing.
Iowa was admitted into the Union in
December 1916.
Florida ''has been under the benifcent

year and three-quarters longer than
Iowa. In area the States are nearly the
same, but Florida is trife the larger
Florida is on the seaboard, accessible nat
urally to the commerce of the world.
Iowa is far in the in nterior and can only
reach the sea by over 1000 miles of ex-
pensive rail or tortuous river transporta-
ton. Iowa has more fertile soil than
Florida, but it is frozen and produces
nothing for one-half the year, while in
Florida every day in the year is seed
time and every day is harvest time Iowa
has local option no-fence law In Flori-
da the razor-back has the right of way.

There, Mr.. Southwick, you have your
free razOr-back State compared with a
no fence State of her own age and size.
How does it look to you? How do you
like that comparison?
Yes, am in favor of ano-fence law and
l am in favor OF it NOW Iowa did not
wait until she had 214 inhabitants to the
square mile before she adopted such
law. A new country needs a no-fence law

more soldiers to the army of the revolu-
tiOnary war than all now subject to
military duty III the State of Florida.
Then you say Massachusetts has only
97,045 cattle other than milch COWS,
while Florida has 409,O55, and t'this
readily shows that the cattle business of
Massachusetts is infnitesimal dis com
pared with that of Florida"
Now, does it, Mr.. Southwick? Say, does
it? Don't you know that the COWS alone
in Massachusetts are worth more money
than all the cattle in Florida of allkinds
If you do not other people do. And don t
you know that the 97.045 well fed, well
cared for, broad backed, sleek haired cat
tie of Massachusetts are worth more
money than the 4O9,O55 Florida scrubs
that exc out a precarious existence on
saw palmetto and gallberry bushes :?
Don't you know that?
Here is what the last census says about
the cattle business: The total value of
$50, and in Massachusetts, $12, ,957 ,0O4.
Does that look "infinitesilnal"
Then you say: "In Massachusetts there
is one head of cattle to every eighteen in
habitants, while in Florida there is one
and a half head of cattle to every inhabi-
tant"
Well, Mr.. Southwick, what is State
for any way? Is it to raise cattle or in
habitants? Are the inhabitants to be
considered of secondary Importance and
scrub cattle of primary Importance
Would you measure States prosperity
by the number of scrub cattle, rather than
by the number of inhabitants? Is that
what you mean?
Then, again, what are COWS for? Don t
you know that each one of those eighteen
inhabitants in Massachusetts has more
milk, more butter, more cheese from the
single COW than the solitary Floridian
from his cow and half? And yet, my
dear sir, such is the fact
to eighteen inhabitants business yet
You say Massachusetts has 214 inhabi-
tants to the square mile and 15O,435
COWS. Now, as the State contains 1900
square miles it would have 1869, 200 in
habitants. Does that make eighteen in
habitants per COW? Be careful how you
figure, Mr.. Southwick, or you will put the
educational facilities of "our State in a
bad light in the eyes of those who are un-
acquainted with the facts"
Mr.. Southwick objects to having Flori-
da compared with Massachusetts, as she
'has been under the benifcent protection
of our great government for 113 years,
while Florida for centuries was camped
upon the battle-felds." AS our govern
ment is only about 100 years old, and

Unjust Comparisons.


Unjust Comparisons.
Mr.. SOuthwick, in the last AGRICULTURE
IsT says: "Mr Adams wishes to show up
Florida in a bad light" that she shews
an inexcusable prejudice" etc
am not aware that is it of any conse-
quence to the public whether am ''preju-
diced' or "what wish to show, but as it
seems to be on the mind of your CORE
spondent,I will say for his special informa-
tion that | came to Florida and ''home-
steaded' tract of "Uncle Sam's'' land in
January, 1876. 1t is my home now tits in
Florida, and all my hopes and wishes, and
"preiudices" if you will, are for the fair
Staten which havec cast my lot. | love her
climate, and her soil responds admirably
to my caresses. | am quite sure that
see all her charms, but am moisture that
it is wise to allow my preiudices, my
wishes, my hopes, to blind my eyes to
what is lacking to make her perfect. If
we are fully satisfied with the progress
wealth our minds should be at ease. For
one | cannot say, and speak the truth,
that am satisfied with her advancement
in wealth, population, education and po-
sition among our sister States. Are
you? Is any intelligent, progressive citi-
zen of the State contented with our present
position and outlook? We loudly claim
the best climate in the United States; we
claim the longest coast line, great naviga-
BILE rivers, and greater variety of useful
products than any other State. And yet
we are dragging along in the rear of the
procession. Why? Either we are claim
ing for our State what she does not possess
or else we have proved incompetent to de-
velop her resources.
Now, Mr.. Southwick, let us calmly and
dispassionately look at the condition of
our State, but before we do so let us lay
to our hearts the words of Burns:
'Oh wad some power the giftie gle us
To sac ourselves as ithers sac u.s.
1t wad frae monte blunder free u.s.
And foolish notion
In comparing Florida with Massachu-
setts to show that prosperous agriculture
was possible with no-fence law, chose
one of thesmallest, coldest, rockiest, most
sterile of all the States.
Was my comparison unjust to Florida?
You say OF Florida, that s'the set
tiers of those early days were compelled
to devote more of their time to warfare
than 10 the development of the ecountry"
Now, Mr.. Southwick, did you never hear
of the long and bloody Indian wars that
devastated the homes of the early settlers
in Massachusetts, and the repeated con-
flicts with the French on the North? The
conflicts in Florida were trifing in com
parison; and Massachusetts furnished

A PREHISTORIC MAsTODON
Curious Find of Nebraska
Miller.

Special to the GLOBE.
ST. HELENA, OAK, Aug. 9.-The pa
pers all over the country have been pub
fishing sensational stories of the discov-
cry of cave in the chalk bluffs near
this city, in which were quantity of
human bones, and the number of bodies
said to have been buried there varies
from Is to 400. according to the imagi-
nation of the correspondent. The find,
in fact, is nothing more or less than an
old Indian burying ground on the top of
a big chalk rock bluff, and the bones,
what few there are of them, are the re-
mains of redskins who shuff1ed Off this
mortal coil in the natural course of
events, instead of the bones of early
settlers massacred by savages. A find,
however, of much more interest,
and one that will afford study for
those interested in such things, was
made yesterday at st. James, Neb., by
ID. l. Brewer, proprietor of the Touring
mill at that place. He was digging for
the purpose of making repairs to his
mains of a prehistoric monster that
probably roamed the prairies hundreds,
if not thousands. of years ago. The
huge skeleton was found close to the
base of soapstone bluff, and up to this
time about thirty-siX feet of the spinal
column and ribs, together with one
shoulder blade and part of the fore
legs have been brought to light. The
hind legs and the feet are yet covered.
Sections of the back bone measure fully
six inches across. and some are in fair
state of preservation, while others
crumble when exposed to the air. 1t is
estimated that the monster must have
stood fully fifteen feet high. The work
of excavation is going On slowly and an
effort is being made to save as much of
the skeleton as possible.

nection Herewith, to reflect on the Tammany

ton as grand sachem of the society and as a
