Governor Broward has addressed an
open letter to the public regarding his
drainage plan for the Everglades.
While it is very lengthy document,
yet it is a plain and straightforward
statement of the facts in the case as Gov
ernor Broward sees them.
Governor Broward, personally, is a
plain, straightforward man and those
who know him appreciate him for this
very reason.
They also realize that the present con-
certed attack upon him and his drainage
plans are not merely opposition to the
drainage of the Everglades, but politi-
cal attack from those who see in him the
future strong man of the State, who will
be in the way of the advancement of
their political interests.
In his open letter, Governor Broward
quotes number of editorials from the
Florida Times Union, edited at that time
by the same gentleman who presides over
its destinies now. These editorials,
given in full in the letter, show the paper
to be a strong advocate of the drainage
of the Everglades at that time. They
present many strong arguments of the
benefits to be obtained from the drain
age.
But, the plan to drain the Everglades
then was through an auxiliary of the
East Coast Railway, and not through

THE DRAINAGE QUESTION.

Governor Broward has addressed an
open letter to the people of Florida, in
which he discusses at length the subject
of the drainage OF the Everglades. It is
a strong paper, and settles conclusively
the fact that he is only performing a
plain duty under the law in going for
ward with the drainage work. That
the scheme is practicable, Is also shown
by reasoning which ought to satisfy every
unbiased reader, and which cannot be
controverted except in one way, and that
is, il the drainage canals, when con.
structed, should fail TO perform their
work, that is, by actual test. As TO the
value OF the lands, should they be sue.
cessfully drained, there may be some
question, but the great preponderance Of
evidence is in favor OF their being i'm.
mensely valuable. The great fertility
of such portions OF the land as have been
drained by private enterprise, and the
analysis Of the soil from other portions
OF the Everglades, have settled this ques-
ton beyond reasonable doubt.

Done Too Well.

"A thing that is worth doing at ALL
we are often told, lis worth doing
we'll" That a thing can be done too
well, however, is evidenced from the
6ollowing story.
A certain gentleman, well known
throughout the Black Country, was,
until recently, the owner of a valu-
able dog. The collar worn by the
animal was of sterling silver, really
a work Of art, and testified to the
value of the wearer in the eyes of his
master.
Unfortunately the animal recently
developed an unreasonable taste for
the calves of his masters visitors,
with the usual result.
The gentleman took his pet out the
other morning. and, after shooting
him, said to the gardener:
BURY him at once"
This the faithful henchman did, and
TO make a good job of it, he buried
the dog, chain and collar as welll.
His employer, On being informed of
the fact, resorted to sarcasm.
"I suppose" he said to the garden
er, the hole was not big enough to
take the kennel as well? Why did
you not make it bigger"
