Loves Young Dream.
~~NN-~N@s~NSON


Loves Young Dream.
0 the days are gone, when beauty bright
My hearts chain wove;
When my dream of life, from morn till
night,
Was love, still love.
New hope may bloom,
And days may come
OF milder, calmer beam,
But there's nothing half so sweet In life
As loves young dream;
Oh, there's nothing half SO sweet in life
AS loves young dream.
Though the bard to purer fame may soar,
When wild youths past;
Though he win the wise, who frowned be-
fore,
To smile at last;
He'll never meet
A JOY so sweet,
In all his noon of fame,
AS when first he sung to woman's ear
His soul-felt flame,
And at every close she blushed to hear
The one loved name.
Oh, that hallowed form is ne'er forgot
Which first love traced;
Still it lingering haunts the greenest spot
On memory's waste.
Twas odor fed
AS soon as shed;
Twas mornings winged dream;
Twas light that ne'er can shine again
On life's dull stream;
Oh twas light that neer can shine again
On life's dull stream

Rubbing Broward Hard.

We are getting kind O. down ON the
Tallahassee; and first thing anybody
knows, we are going to break out and
say so. For unsophisticated gall and
downright audacity. we have rarely
seen anything as fragrant as the in
fernal thievery that is going on there
right now. But singular as it may
seem, these state officials have select
ed the same dirty and contemplate
sheets that slandered and maligned
them before their election. to do the
fawning, boot-licking act after getting
into office.
AS for the part the Floridian played
in trying TO elevate Mr.. Napoleon B.
Broward to the highest office in the
gift of the people of Florida, we have
no apologies except that we have been
sadly mistaken in believing him the
type Of man he has proven himself the
most fragrant antithesis.
To use plain and unbroken United
States" we voted for Mr.. Broward,
and used the columns of our paper to
help elect him. firmly believing him to
be good man. We regret to say we
have no such opinion of him now.
His talk about "Hessians," is as
puerile and disgusting as we have
ever heard. Coming in the form it
does, it's "reductio ad absurdam" in
the strictest meaning of the term.
The very instruments of torture
he now uses to infiict his own dis
gusting rot" upon the friends who
helped to honor him, are the same
Shiny. filthy "Hessians" whose mouths
were the sewers for the corruption of
their hearts in the campaign that made
Napoleon Broward governor of Flor
ida
| But may God, in His infinite good
ness and mercy. draw the mantle OF
pity and commiseration over this very
same individual as we remind his
friends that these same "Hessionsr
who were then hired by others to SIAN
der and malign him, are now hired by
Governor Broward and paid by the
hard earnings of the taxpayers of the
whole state of Florida, to fawn and
Halter an administration as deserving
OF censure as the blackest in the days
OF radicalism and reconstruction.
The plea of ignorance will not hold
IT is tincturedN with entirely too much
audacity; and common decency de-
mands that it be called down.-Jack-

Governor Broward's Everglades
drainage scheme is useless. valueless
and an unnecessary burden on the tax
payers of the state. Good schools and
good roads are more important. There
is great need of these. There are mil
lions of acres of lands that are avail
able for cultivation without drainage
When these uncleared and unsettled
lands are cultivated then will be time
enough to talk about taxing the peo-

Savannah. Ga. April 1906.
To the Editor Ocala Banner:
I notice in the Washington dispat-
ches that when President Roosevelt
was asked to give his support to an
International Exposition to be held in
Tampa to commemorate the beginning
Of the digging of the Panama canal,
that he refused to interest himself in
the enterprise.
Now, I have from time to time In the
last year noticed In the Ocala Ban
ner a good deal In regard to steamboat
traffic from Jacksonville by way of the
Ocklawaha river and Silver Springs
from Ocala and Leesburg. and also the
disadvantages attending such traffic
on account of a lack Of water in some
places and narrow crooked places with
more or less dangerous snags.
Now, would it not be more beneficial
to the state generally and especially
TO the great section of the state that
is traversed by these streams If the
people would bend their energies to
getting congress to make an appropri-
alton sufficiently large to clean out and
straighten this stream and to dig a
canal from the head Of Silver Springs
to Ocala? Then the whole section of
counfrv tr;hntorx, tharato xx,o,,Id la
given direct steamboat connection
with New York, which would lessen
freight charges about so per. cent and
1t would tend more to the rapid build
ing up Of Ocala than anything else. In
ten years Ocala would be built solidiy
clear to the head OF, the beautiful Sill
yer Springs the most romantic and
mystical river in America and which
has no counterpart In the world.
merely write this as the idea sug-
gests itself to me very forcibly when
see an effort made to- throw away
a lot of money that would do no good
beyond a temporary stimulous to GER
tain interests for a few months.
While such an Improvement as have
spoken of would be lasting and ever
increasing benefit to all of the people
of Florida.
And 1t can be brought about by a
little public agitation and persistent
work on the part of Florida's public
men. 1t will be productive Of more
good than all of the noise about drain
ing the everglades.
Yours truly.

Southern Motorists Federation.

Special to the Ocala Banner:
A call has been issued to Southern
vile, Florida. April 10th, which is the
second day of the Atlantic Pablo
Beach races which will be conducted
by the Jacksonville Automobile &
Motor Boat Club. The purpose of the
meeting Is to discuss Southern motor
ing matters and good roads with a
view of forming a strong Southern
body which will work for the better
progress Of motoring in the South
land and to organize a crusade for
better roads.
One of the important things to be
discussed is the talked Of main trunk
line hard road from Richmond to
Jacksonville. 1t is the ardent wish of
all automobilists that a good road be
built enabling Northerners and Sou
therners to use same in summer apd
winter. The Savannah Automobile
Club has already commenced planning
for the building Of road from Saw
annah to Jacksonville, and If the Flor
ida people build the talked Of road
from Jacksonville to Miami. and from
Jacksonville to Tampa. through the
interior, over 400 miles in length, the
day may be nearer to us than 1t is
thought 1t is when the automobilist
can drive from New York City to Mi
ami, or Tampa. This would give near
ly a 1900 mile run.
1t Is thought that a purely south
ern organization can do more for To-
cal and state interests than q national
organization can which up to this time
has more or less neglected Southern
and Western matters.
Herbert B. Race. Secretary Jackson

is in receipt of many letters which
state that delegates from all over the
South will be present at the meeting,
