sources. Every section of this state
during the fall and winter months,
when the railroads are bringing peo-
pie by the thousands at half rates,
needs a competent man to take. charge
of these people, and some place where
intending settlers may go, for informa-
ton and proper direction. Nothing of
the visionary sort, such as is seen in
some of our exaggerated advertising
matter scattered broadcast, is wanted,
but a good, competent, truthful and
careful system of propagating needed
information is one of the greatest es-
sentials to Florida's future develop
ment.
The time is coming when this state
will need settlers for her farms which
must ultimately take the place of
some of the industries at present fur
nishing the greatest wealth to the
state, but which will pass away in
time. The time is ripe for action
along these lines, and the press of
Florida ought to agitate the matter in
the interest of bringing about an in
telligent understanding and the best
practical plan.

State legislatures have the power to
authorize health officials of cities and
towns to impose compulsory vaecina-
ton regulations, and by parity Of reas-
Oning TO pass other ordinances intend
ed TO safeguard the public health, says
Bradstreets. This is the gist of the
decision rendered by the supreme
court of the United States this week
in the Jacobson case, which involved
the validity of a Massachusetts statute.
The court, while avowing its DISPOSE
ton to guard with firmness every right
pertaining to life, liberty or property
secured to the individual by the consti-
tuition, declared it to be of the last
importance that it should not invade
the domain Of local authority except
when it is absolutely necessary to do
so in order to enforce the law.

PROPOSED STATE
IMMIGRATION BUREAU.

The proposition to establish a Flor
ida Bureau of immigration, which was
first brought up at a meeting of real
estate agents in Jacksonville some
time since, has not evoked the gener-
al interest that the Importance of the
matter justifies. Approaching this
fact, and realizing the great amount
OF good that such a bureau would do
the Gainesville Sun asks that the
question be generally discussed pre-
vious to the converting of the state
legislature and opens the discussion
in favor of the bureau in the follow
ing able manner:
On the eve of the converting of the
legislature of Florida The sun would
like to see a discussion of the practic-
ability and ACCESSIBILITY of the estab-
lishment of a bureau of immigration
in this state. From what was said in
reference to this public question few
weeks since at a meeting of real es-
tate agents in Jacksonville 1t is evil
dent that there will be up for consid-
Grafton at the next session bill seek
ing TO establish such a department of
government.
Reasons are assigned why bureau
of immigration ought 10 be establish
ed in Florida. They are all good
claims, intelligently advanced in the
interest of what Florida has been
needing for no little time. The only
difficulty observable at this time,
and the only argument which has
been made against a competent ap-
propriatiOn for this work. is that the
scheme viii get into politics and work
more harm than good by creating a
spirit of rivalry and jealousy between
the sections. This. however, can be
obviated if the legislators rise to the
point of patriotism and pride in their
state and enact a law which would
debar politics or prevent injury through
Florida's variety OF political agitation
and strife.
What is needed is some plan where
by people may not only be induced to
come TO Florida, but be guided and
directed after their arrival The rea-
sons for this are obvious. Too many

never tires of seeing and one which
seems to improve with longer ac-

wonderful opportunities for a good
actor and Walter Whiteside knew this
when he revived it, for he certainly
plays it with great success. The pre-
sentation last night ranks among the
very best attractions which have
visited Pensacola this season. Mr..

From the number of applications for
wolf bounties which come from locali-

reasoned that in some portions of the
state wolves are being raised simply
for the purpose of killing them after
they become full grown in order to
get the $3.50 bounty which the state
gives for each carcass. Il am con-

there are Indians in the northern coun-

that the wolves are on the increase.
