The man who is advertising con-
spicuously in the Tampa Tribune that
he will, on April 4th, make application
for PARDON, evidently deserves it;
otherwise he would adopt the tactics
of the undeserving and try to conceal
the fact by posting his notice of ap-
pllcatiOn on the ceiling of the dome
of the court house where nobody
could see it.-Punta Gorda Herald.
Another New Industry.
We are told that brooms manufac-
tured by an individual at Bushnell
from straw grown by him find ready
sale at the local stores at higher
price than the brooms shipped there.
This is evidence of another industry
which only awaits development. Why
not let it become an industry in this
county which would pay?-Sumter
County Times.
improvements at Palm Beach,
Now it is proposed by the railway
company to drain the country back of
West Palm Beach and open up there.
farming section similar to what has
been developed west of Fort Pierce.
And so the GOOD work goes on until
the whole length of the east coast
viii become the garden spot indeed.
and the finest farming and fruit-pro-
ducing belt in America. Ten years
from now the tourists will find some
thing to delight the eye and speculate
over the entire distance from Jack
sonyihe to Miami-F'ort Pierce News.
Factories Are Needed.
We buy ak handles, hoe handles,
and such things manufactured in the
North, and we cut down hickory ana
other hard wood and burn it, or, of
late, sell it at low price. Why not
have local mills and manufacture
these things? If one man hasn't
enough capital let several organize
into company and do these things.
The great trouble with our people is
that every man lives too much to and
by himself Little factories like these
would employ idle labor and keep all
these sums of money which, taken
separately, seem small. but which ag-
gregate considerable at home. Think
about this. 1t is worthy of considera-
tion.-Sumter County Times.
WeuId Help South Florida.
A contributor to the Times-Union
suggests the passage of law making
it a violation of the law for transpor-
tation companies to transport intoxi-
eating liquors into dry counties. If
such a law would be constitutional it
would be a splendid one, but there's
the rub. South Carolina tried to pre-
vent the importation Of liquor from
adjoining states by such law, but the
supreme court decided against her.
However it would be a good thing to
stop the traffic between counties in
Florida. While it would do little or
no good to counties along the border
of Georgia and Alabama, yet it would
help the south Florida counties a
great deal.-Madison recorder.
May Find Plenty Of Work.
The Tampa Herald feels called up
On to defend Governor Broward in all
criticisms by the state press. Unless
the new governor is quite different
from most public officials, the Herald
will have a pretty good job on its
hands before his four years admins
tration expires-Ocala News.
Too Many Dead Laws.
There is a movement on foot to
have the coming session of the legis-
lature enact a new game law. 1t
strikes us very forcibly that an exc
eution of the present law would bring
about change that would have the
desired effect. There are too many
dead laws on our statute books now
What we want is an enforcement of
these laws.-Lakeland Sun.
