Taking out the swanlR,, and over
flowed lands Of the StaeE there are
"a, 500, 900 acres Of land in Florida that
are now available for cultivation or by
clearing would become available. This
land belongs to the people Of Florida.
Il varies in quality from almost worth
less to the most productive land on the
globe. Leaving out the cities and the
larger towns there are not more than
$50, 900 people living on these lands
not half of them of the age or sex for
farm labor. The people cannot possibly
utilize more than 100000 acres of
their land. This would give each fam
lily living on farms about 60 acres. 1t
would give over 20 acres to each work.
ing hand.
Then there are 3O,OO0,O 900 acres of
land belonging to the people of Florida
that could be profitably sold, and most
of it the owners would like to sell if a
fair price we're offered. Which, then,
is needed-more land or more people?
Already about $50, 900 have been ex-
pended in preparing to drain the Ever
glades. How much more will be spent
for this purpose? We cannot answer,
and no one else seems to have any more
definite opinion. This was spent to add
more land to the 30,OO0,OOO acres sur
plus, instead of adding population to
supply a part of the 100000 deficit.
Why spend money in getting what
we have too much of already instead of
spending it to get what we need?
1t may be said that under present
laws the money spent in preparing to
drain the Everglades could not have
been spent in an effort to secure immi-
grafton. Present laws can be changed
and one dollar spent in an intelligent
effort to secure immigration would &C.
complish more of good for the State
than one hundred spent in adding more
land TO our already enormous surplus.
The drainage of the Everglades would
not add one dollar to the value of the
lands that the people of Florida indi.
vidually own, except to that portion
now overlooked that is owned by indi-
viduals. Its tendency would be by adj
ding to the supply to decrease the value
of the lands of the State.
The time will come, but it will be
many years in coming, when we will
need more land in Florida. Then the
drainage of the Everglades, if possible,
would place on the market lands that
would be Immediately very valuable.
1t is folly to drain them when the lands
gained would not sell for enough to pay
the expense of drainage. Jacksonville

That II will be Of great Importance
that majority Of both houses Of the
next Florida Legislature have in It's
membership q decisive majority Of the
best and purest men in its makeup no
rational, honest citizen will for one mo-
ment doubt. That a certain clique, or
cliques Of political tricksters are thus
early busily engaged laying plans to
capture enough members to heap more
wrongs upon the people Of Florida and
to be in q position TO push on schemes
that have been going on in the past,
there is no doubt. That certain men
who have terribly abused the trust
placed in them, will be interested in not
having things investigated, are, and
will continue to get busy" to have
enough men who can be handled by
shreWd LObbyists elected, evidences crop
out every day, to those who have an eye
out for such. Citizens of Florida, awake
and at them.
Besides the matters that should be
Investigated at the coming session of
the Legislature, there will be a number
of others that will necessarily require
serious consideration, among which will
be our honorable Governors drainage
operations. We believe Governor Brow
ard is honest in his conviction, that he
believes he can drain the Everglades.
1t was this question put to the peo-
pie, as he did, which elected him, and
that he has statutory law to back him
up in his expenditures and operations
along this line; but in face of the piles
Of testimony to the effect that it is at
least doubtful about it being possible TO
drain the lands; and that if drained, they
will not be worth the cost, and that the
State and private corporations and citi-
zens have acres of better lands that
await development; that the moneys be-
ing spent on the drainage scheme could
be applied along 80 many other lines
that would be more beneficial to the citi.
zens Of Florida, it would seem that he
would go slow. OF course the drainage
commissioners will have spent quite a
large chunk of money ere another Leg
islature meets, but possibly it will be
wise thing 10 do, to elect men to the
Legislature who can be depended upon
to look into this with the many other i'm
portant matters that will surely come up.
Already men in the different counties
are trying to make capital out of Gov

DEMOCRATS DO THEIR DUTY.

The list Of republican senators who
voted against ship subsidy bill is rather
a suggestive one. 1t comprises Burk-
kett of Nebraksa, Deliver of Iowa, La
Toilette of Wisconsin, Warner Of Mis-
souri,. There is a geographical signif-
canoe in the fact that they represent a
group of states in near proximity to
each other Burkett, Warner and La
Toilette were chosen in revolt against
their party machine. DOlliver bowed to
the sentiment Of the people ofhis state.
What possessed SpoOner of Wisconsin
to vote against it is hard to say. He
had nothing to lose by voting with his
colleague, who is fresher from the peo-
pie, but it is a surprise.
The incident may be the beginning Of
a series of events which will split exist
ing parties and point to a change in the
alignments. 1t certainly shows that
the west is FESTIVE under the selfish and
dominant power of the east AS all in
telligent people know, and all fair
minded men concede, the ship subsidy
bill is a mere scheme to extract money
from the treasury for the benefit Of
class of capitalists which the Republi-
can party hopes to attract or reward.

Tarnmany Trick in
Boston Politics.

Some idea Of the bitterness which ex-
lists between warning factions Of the
democratic party in Boston is being
gained from the trial Of Timothy Crow
ley, charged with assault with intent
to kill Joseph P. Lomasney in ward 8
polling booth on the morning of the
municipal primaries. Crowley drew a
revolver and, it is alleged, tried to shoot
Lomasney, but was restrained by the
crowd It has come out in the testi-
mony that both parties were prepared
for trouble. It is claimed that a con-
spiracy had been Matched to kill the two
Lomasneys, who were opposed to the
candidacy of John F. Fitzgerald, the
present mayor. According to the story,
Crowley, who is large man, was one
of the tools selected to do the killing
Crowley on the other hand, says he
purchased the revolver because he had
been told that Lomasney had engaged a
lot Of New York toughs to be at the
polling booths, and that they were to
make trouble if necessary.
