immigration Question.
The question of immigration is now
uppermost in the minds OF the people
of the South and Florida in particular.
One question is of vast import TO the
business and social interests OF the
state. What class shall we induce to
come here?
There is one class that is most need
ed. and that is tillers of the soil. The
foreigners who are to be encouraged
should be the Danes, Swedes and Nor
wegians, who are the most industrious
cless to be from? They are known
wherever found as quiet, unohtrusive
people who attend to their work all
the time and are most contented
people In many localities where they
are found there are evidences of thrift,
and they come to this country to make
il their permanent home.
Great care should be taken to avoid
the unloading Of the slum element on
the South. We do not care for such a
class. The large tracts of farming
lands that are awaiting settlement in
all parts of Florida will make homes
for a class that we desire TO locate
here. Possessed of sufficient amount
of industry and located on farms, the
class We most need would cause not
the slightest annoyance.
One feature of the coming into Flor
ida of these people will be that they
will settle on their own farms and do
their own work. They are NOT renters
or day laborers, but in most cases will
buy their lands, cultivate and improve
them and be class of property own
ers instead of wanderers from place
to place.-Gainesville Sun.
All May Wear Uniforms.
lf you like the appearance OF Uncle
Sans army or navy uniforms and care
to wear them yourself there is nothing
to prevent you doing so, If you can
make the proper deal with the tailor.
The war department has just been
wrestling with the case of an army
officer who was permitted to resign
"for the good of the service" and who
still persists in wearing the uniform
of his rank. 1t was first believed that
he could be compelled to take off the
honorable shoulder straps, but after
the law was carefully studied it was
discovered that nothing could be done
Any one for that matter, can wear
the uniform of a lieutenant general,
if he has the money to pay for the
raiment and the sublime gall to be
arrayed in public therein.--Tampa

Florida Summers.
1t is soothing and sustaining to the
people of Florida to remember that an
occasional temperature of 80 degrees
is very bearable in this landy Of steady

A Tip For Miami.

Better do as Chicago did and raise

Take Your Choice.
In some quarters the science of
railroading seems to be in collision
with death and the devil. Heretofore
the time between New York and Chi
eago was twenty hours. Then it was
decided to make the run in eighteen
hours. This schedule was maintained
for two or three days and resulted in
4 wreck that cost twenty-one passen-
gers their lives. since which Butchery
the directors from their offices in
New York have announced that the
old running time would be resumed
In the beginning we spoke Of the
science of railroading," but 1t is too
simple to take on that dignity. Should
a passenger from New York desire to
reach Chicago in eighteen hours he
lands there in a morgue; should he
extend the time to twenty hours he
has a chance to reach the Windy
City in the possession OF his bones
and in his right mind So, pay your
money and take your choice 1t has
