Gambler, Fla, March 2S.-On account
of excessive rains for the past month
all farm work is very much behind.
Farmers cannot plant, as land is too
wet 10 pillow. Not in ten years has such
conditions existed as at present. On
The lowlands no work can be done,
and it is greatly feared that unless
dry wea Their soon comes. much of the
very best farming land cannot be plant
ed this spring.
Under a contract with the Seminole
Manufacturing Company of DeLand a
great many farmers will plant a large
acreage of caSsava. This company
pays 1915 per ton for the cassava, f.
o. b.. here. This plant grows to per-
lection on the best grade of pine lands
and with a very light application of
fertilizer an acre will yield ten tons.
The new Methodist church, having
been completed, Rev. G. w. Butler of
Eustis, presiding elder Of this district,
will hold the dedication services next
Sunday, assisted by the pastor, Rev.
6. G. Currier, and Rev. J. L. Jones of

The question OF reading the Bible in the
public schools OF Nebraska, which was
thought to have been settled by decision
Of the Supreme Court. has come up again.
The suit which resulted in the decision OF
the court was begun several years ago by
one Daniel Freeman. who was opposed to
Bible reading in the schools. The court
decided that:
There j. nothing in the Constitution or
lawx OF This State. nor I'm the history OF our
people. upon which to ground a claim that
IL is fie duty of the government TO teach
religion.
Enforced attendance upon religious serv-
ices is forbidden by the Constitution, and
Qufred either 10 attend such services or to
Join In them.
Whether IL Is prudent or polite TO permit
Bible reading in the public schools is a
question for the school authorities, but
whether the practice of Bible reading has
taken the form OF sectarian instruction is
. question for the courts TO determine upon
evidence.
The court attempted TO draw a line be-
tween Bible reading and sectarian instruc-
lion, but did not make il very clear. Now,
Freeman. who started the original agita-
tion. has discovered that the Bible is still
read and commented on I'm the public
schools OF a certain county. and on his
motion the Supreme Court has issued
mandamus TO compel members OF the
School Board 10 comply with IT'S decision

A FRENCHMAN's QUESTIONS.


Booker i: Washington. in the Independent.
Some very intelligent Frenchmen. notably
one of the editors of the Figaro, have been
travelling lately in America. The more this
class of people see of America the more
puzzled they are over what is called the
race problem, and they ask some very in
teresting, questions. For example, this ed
itor of the Figaro asked me why il was
that in the District OF Columbia all races
could ride on the same seats in the street
cars. buy in Alexandra. only six miles
away. tEey had TO occupy separate seats.
He also asked me why, in certain railroad
restaurants, the negro could stand at the
counter and eat, but would be put out If he
sat down to eat. For the life OF me / could
not make him understand that TO stand
up and sat was not regarded in some sec
tons as "a social act, while to sit down was
regarded. Then he asked me why China
men or indians could ride in a first-class
car anywhere in America and negroes
could net. He also asked me why negroes
could, as mechanics, build houses in At
lanta, the home of Robert Toombs, and
could not erect houses in Boston, the home
of Garrison. Then he asked me why white
men ana black men drank liquors in the
same baaroon, but could not in many parts
of America, drink the communion wine to-
gether tn the same church The average
Frenchraan is mighty interesting. Color
prejudice is especially difficult for him to

ander Dumas, whose works can be found

MIR. ROBINSON AND THE SURPLUS.

Representative Robinson, of Fort Wayne,
has been making a speech in the House
that is, he delivered little of it and had
Record, a common custom with congress-
men who have evolved something not bear
ing on any question before the House, but
which they want to get before their con-
stituents. 1t Is a relief to the House but
hard on the constituents. In the present
case it avoided wasting time which proper
ly belonged to discussion of the Cuban reci-
procity treaty. which, judging from the
speech. Mr.. Robinson had never heard of.
The Journals Washington correspondent
says:
Mr. Robinson prepared his address during
the recess. and Ii was the intention to
spring II upon the lawmakers on the first
day or the session. Speaker Cannon, how
ever, had been duly advised. and before Mr..
Robinson was able to secure the floor the
House adjourned. Mr.. Robinson was side
tracked on the second day by the reading
of the Presidents message. BY this time
The Fort Wayne man had grown impatient.
Ie knew that the House was waiting for
his speech and he cursed the fates that pre-
vented its delivery. But finally the oppor-
tune moment arrived and Mr.. Robinson was
recognized. The Indiana representative &C.
Supted the moor only rev moments, Dut
his speech takes up several pages in the
Congressional Record. Mr.. Robinson's
speech was a gem. He tainted the Repub-
Hcsus for piling up a surplus in the treas
ury. Without this surplus. he said, there
would have been no scandal in the pos sal
service, no crookedness in the Interior De-
partment, the trust evil would not be upon
US. Mr.. Robinson proclaimed idea for
which he should be given credit. 1t was
the surplus. he said. that excited the cupid
ity OF the thieves. If there was no surplus
he added, there would be nothing TO steal.
Mr.. Robinson has ordered several thou
sand copies of his speech printed and will
distribute them in the Twelfth Indiana dis
trict.
The speech as printed in the Record was
an attack on what Mr.. Robinson called the
Republican policy of creating a surplus in
order TO deposit 1t in national banks. He
assumed that the surplus was created for
this purpose. which he denounced as
favoritism and as only one OF the evils of
a surplus. When cornered by question
whether he, would lock the money I'D in
the treasury. where IL would be idle and
useless instead OF depositing II In the banks,
where 1t was helpful TO business, he de-
clined TO answer. OF one thing. however,
he was certain; he was "agin'' a surplus.
In the Journal OF the sth inst. appeared
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1903-11-23
a dispatch from Fort Wayne. of the 7th.

a dispatch from Fort Wayne. of the 7th,
as follows:
When Congressman Robinson left for
Washington few days ago there was no
connection except among the mail clerks.
They could not understand why the east
bound mails were suddenly so heavy from
Fort Wayne until they discovered that the
packages bore the congressional frank OF
the congressman and were destined for
Washington The total weight OF the pack
ages, which included the congressman
personal effects, was 1.500 pounds.
This is not reprinted to embarrass Mr..
Robinson or TO make him a subject of crit
icism by fellow members who ship their
personal effects and household goods to
Washington by express freight 1t is
done simply to show that he is consistent
in his opposition to a surplus. So firmly
convinced is he of the evil and danger in
volved in accommodating surplus that he
felt in duty bound to do what he could
towards averting the evil. He could not,
single-handed and alone, change the tariff
laws, but he could do something towards
reducing the surplus by increasing the bur-
dens and expenses of the postal service by
compelling the government to carry his
household effects under his congressional
frank. True, this would not reduce the
surplus much, but it was something. 1t
showed that Mr.. Robinson had the courage
of his convictions and that he was not going
to Washington with speech in his pocket
attacking the surplus without being able
TO say that he had done what he could to
wipe it out. If he could not abolish it he
could at least square himself on principle
The distribution of thousands of copies of
his speech under his frank will do a little
more towards increasing the postal deficit
and reducing the surplus, and will show his
constituents that he is consistent. Mr.. Rob-
inson is making a record.

A lottery bill now pending in the Cuban
Congress Ii likely to pass, but will probably
be vetoed by President Palma In a re-
cent interview on the subject he expressed
himself strongly against lotteries in gen.
eral and said the old Cuban lottery was
one OF the causes which led him to go to
war with Spain thirty years ago. He said
to revive the lottery would be to revive
che Spanish system of rule in Cuba, adding:
Behind the lottery will follow all that
furnished US with motive or want to sepa-
rate from Spain. The lottery kills indi-
vidual initiative. The poor people soon
become vicious from the game; they lose
their savings and work little because they
trust everything TO their lucky star; to
their hope OF finally winning the big prize.
Work Is no more the ideal of the poor man

luck decides TO give him a premium, and
