POWER ASKED FOR UNDER
DRAINAGE AMENDMENT RESOLUTION
NO FIVE MEN SHOULD DESIRE TO BE OUR MASTERS


to pay over to the State school fund 20
per cent of the money coming into their
hands. and they admit that they have
not done it, They have applied this
school money 60 other purposes. Now,
what do you call that? Misfeasance?
Malfeasance? Not embezzlement. for
they are all honest men, and you can
stake your life Oh the assertion that MOI
one of them would apply to his own use
money that did not belong 20 him ).
But they have diverted this school
money and not paid il over as the law
requires; and yet these same officials
are under the jurisdiction of the Legis-
lature and of the Supreme Court; they
are not constitutional officers, rs this
amendment now proposes to make them.
Now if, as STTUTORY OFFICERS they do
what they please with school money,
what may we expect them TO DO when
they become CONSTITUTIONAL officers
and out of the reach of the Legislature?
We say them and speak in the pres
ent tense with reference to the drain
age board, but we want it understood
that we have confidence in this present
board, Notwithstanding the fact that,
in their other capacity as Trustees Of
the Internal Improvement Fund, they
have misapplied the share which be-
longs to the school fund.
Our contention is that, even in the
hands of the most righteous of men,
this proposed drainage amendment is "a
dangerous thing, and the people had
better vote against it.-Punta Gorda

DRAINAGE and DespO,Lsm.

Some of the Tribune's esteemed
friends and readers IN the to-be-drained-
Impossible region, doubtless miscon-
STRUNG kindly jest for bitterness and
enmity, have imbibed the notion that
the Tribune is conducting a warfare on
their best interests. IL has been noised
around in the counties Of Lee and De-
Soto that the Tribune is "agin" the
drainage plan because they want it and
need it. Nothing could be more erron-
eOus.
The Tribune clearly stated it's position
on the drainage proposition long ago
and has repeated it at frequent inter
walls.
While it doubts the practicability of
the scheme, the Tribune has always
said that it believed that the people in
the affected district needed drainage
and ought TO have it, the Tribune's quar-
rel has not been with the drainage idea,
of itself, but rather with the constitu-
tional method by which 1t Is proposed to
carry it out
The Tribune does not believe that the
people Of Florida ought to authorize the
creation of a powerful new branch of
the State Government, which are con-
stituted by the amendment now before
the people, would have greater powers
than either of the other branches and,
at the same time, be subject to none of
those legislative or judicial restrictions
which hedge about the ordinary public
servants Of the State
This branch Of government, thus ere
ated, would, as the amendment itself
shows, be superior auth rity of the law
makers and the courts. IL would not
be required TO make any accounting of
its acts. fiscal or otherwise. IL would
be unlimited as 10 term and privilege
and would have absolute power to i'm
pese taxation, wherever 40 acres OF
swamp or marsh might be found in the
State OF Florida
ouch body has no place in a free
government
Surely. the good people of the pro-
posed drainage district themselves Will
not gainsay this They want drainage:
il means much to them; their industrial
future may depend on It; but they are
unfortunate in their sincere desires
have been made the occasion. by schem-
ing politicians, for an attempt 20 create
in this State, ponderous jugRernaut
Of power which may grind the people at
the will of its masters.
the Tribune wishes that the people
Of Lee and DeSoto counties could get
the relief they need. II is a necessity
with them. They must have it, sooner
or later. The Tribune will be always
among the first TO cooperate with them
in getting II IN a safe, sane manner.
But the Tribune cannot and will not
subscribe 70 a scheme which under the
guise Of effecting great relief for a suf-
fering portion of the people, seeks in
connection with such relief, to provide
a means for the enslavement and OPP
preston Of the whole people. - Tampa

MOSCOW REVOLT
IS PUT DOWN

Moscow, Jan. 3.-The revolt in Mos
COW is ended. With the battle in the
Pressyna quarter the rebels, defeated,
have given up the contest for the pres
ent. ...1---4
Nearly the whole rebel force in the
district, numbering 1000, haves been
taken prisoners. The revolutionary
quarter was SO hemmed in that it was
almost impossible for any of the rebels
to escape, although some of them
rushed to the southern part of the city
and succeeded in getting across the
river on the ice.
Anticipating this movement, the
troops cut channel through the ice
ands cut off the retreating mob. Many
insurgents were drowned, others were
shot down by the wholesale as they
were helplessly floating down the
stream on a great area of ice.
In the attempt of the insurgents to
get away, desperate resistance was met
at all quarters, and women and child
rem were bayonetted to death on all the
streets. The details of the fighting are
most narrowing.
1t is reported that the rebels in the
Baltic province have captured many of
the small towns, where riot and rapine
is common. The small towns of Po-
land are also in state of ferment.

Mr.. Burbank's Latest Miracle.

Hamilton Wright, in the World To-
day for April: The spineless cactus,
the latest plant marvel originated by
Mr.. Burbank, probably gives greater
promise of usefulness TO man han any
other of Mr.. Burbank's creations. The
spinless cactus in an improved variety
of the ordinary wild cactus known as
the prickly pear, of which there are
numerous species and more than a
thousand varieties. Bulk for bulk,
spiaeless is about half as nutritious as
alfalfa, which has been pronounced by
h United States department of ag-
riculture to be probably the best all
around of known forage plants. But,
acre for acre, the yield OF spineless
cactus will be far greater than the
yield of alfalfa. An agricultural ex-
pert of national reputation asserts that
h spineless will make II possible to
double the present population of the
globe through the peopling Of the des-
erts. h spineless cactus is relished
by all kinds of stock. Horses, cattle,
sheep. hogs, chickens, geese and other
animals thrive on it. When fed with
cotton seed or other hydrocarbons, it
will make a complete ration in fatten-
ing stock for market. In one respect
1t is superior to alfalfa, as damage Of
ten comes to stock by allowing them to
run free in q green alfalfa field.
As a commercial proposition it will
cost from $40 to $25 per acre to plant
spineless when once 1t is generally
grown. 1t car be produced just as
readily as the spiny cactus, and with a
great deal less profanity. 1t will, of
course, be raised from cuttings, and
these need merely be scattered over
the earth. Should a cactus be tipped
over and the top touch the ground that
portion Will Immediately send out roots

Had choies of Sea or Jail.
From the Portland Oregonian.

F.. rTOn the HOTlidllo oiSSOAiuhs
To Arthur Westerman, a l~1-year-old
boy, who has been before the cour as
many times as q centipede has legs,
was given an undesirable preference
by Judge Cameron in the municipal
court when. after being convicted on
a larceny charge, he was given the
choice of going to the county Jail for
one year or going to sea for the same
period. Westerman had been stealing
COWS. iunk and bottles and yesterday
he was convicted OF entering a junk
shop and stealing old iron.
(which do you prefer, young man?
Go to the county Jail for a year or go
TO sea-" asked Judge Cameron.
Neither one: but I'll go TO sea rather
than to JAIL" said Westerman.
"Well, 1 don't know; / think II / let
you go to sea you'll steal the Rigging
off the ship"
NO, honest, I won't. I'll try not to
steal"
"Try not to? Well, that's something
to your credit, anyway. Say that you
arc sure you won't, and I'll see that
you get work under y good captain"
Yes, I'll detect a good ship for the
boy" said Detective Hartman, who had
arrested Westerman.
Well, get him on a ship hat is go
ing around the cape, and one that Will
be gone for two years, IL possible. And,
young man." turning to Waterman,
"when you get back from the trip you
won't know yourself. But if, after you
come back, you go to stealing again,
I'll see that you get the county jail
sentence anyway" said the judge, as
he babe the youth godspeed on his
long voyage.
