Bryan's Strong Point.

The one very striking trait in Mr..
Bryans character is his fearless indie
pendence-his scorn of dictation. He
said in New York: Every man must
do his own thinking and act accord
ing to the dictates of his own con-
science. ALSO, do not care what
--.e politicians think. II know what
people want today, l know what
the politicians will want tomorrow"
Some one asked him what he thought
of the criticism of his government
ownership policy and whether it was
not nJC!y to drive some persons out
of the rarty. He replied that he did
not desire anyone out, nor demand
that anyone should agree with him,
the same time he would not
do anything to keep in one that want
ed to go out. In other words he is
doing his own thinking. and allowing
others the same liberty. 1t can be
said to bis credit that he has never
said anything with the view of helping
his political fortunes, but always
said what he tnougnt.-Mobile Regis

Mr.. PARROT is Mr.. FlagIer's trusted

to his suggestions, prompted by his
love for the state, that Mr.. Flagler

Gently it seems to US that he ought

DO WE NEED ANOTHER TELE-
PHONE SYSTEM?

For our own part we are opposed
to having another telephone system
in Ocala. The one we have gives ex
cellent service and we think that it
is all that our citizens are able to
maintain and the enterprising gentle
men, who have their money invested
in it ought to be protected and are de-
|serving of the thanks of the people of
this community.
We are told that the tolls Of the
Ocala Telephone Company are cheap
er than any otner company now oper-
ating in this state and the system is
supplied with the latest and most inn
proved appliances, having among
other things an Ericsson switch board,
the most up-to-date invention in tele-
phoning.
If we have another telephone com
pany to come into our city we will
be put to double expense as bust.
ness man will be compelled TO use
both phones and the one system fills
all the requirements of our present
needs.
The charges of the Ocala Telephone
Company are three dollars for bust
ness phones and two dollars for res
ident phones or four dollars for the
two, if taken by one person or firm.
An additional system means an adj
ditional charge and where business
firm Is now paying twelve dollars, If
a new company is allowed to come in,
would be forced to pay twenty-four
dollars per quarter.
On the telephone question we are
a "stand patter."

Mrs. Cummings Sues the City OF Chi
cago.
The Chicago Journal of August 81,
contains a photograph of Mrs. Sallie
lE. Cummings. of Pensacola. and the
following account of a suit she has
| just filed in Chicago:
Suits are about to be filed in Chi
cago by Mrs. Sallie f.. Cummings, a
millionairess from Pensacola, Fla.
| in which she expects to prove her
claims to eight acres of land in
Strectville.
Her suit will involve 100000, 900
and she expects to make her fight
for the land a test case, which will
establish forever the ownership of
the land claimed by Capt. Streetar
and numerous others.
Mrs. Cummings is one of the most
noted women in the south. She is
| the editor of Florida Rambler" and
/ the Walking Sum-" published at De-
Funiak Springs. and for years has
been associated with leading south
erners. She asserted today when she
arrived in the city her suit was for
the purpose of establishing the own

1.-THE legal fight for clear claim proms-
ses to be exhaustive.
Chicago police have exercised au-
thority over the tract, and much of
it has been fenced in by Captain
Strecter. Until now no building of
any kind could be done because there
was no clear title to any of the land.
Captain Streeter accepts whatever tax
money is offered him
| IT have ample resources to carry
the thing to the highest courts" said
Mrs. Cummings today at the Office of
her lawyer. 81 realize that shall have
to fight vast interests, but I am pre-
pared to test the validity OF my
claims. The three hundred acres are
worth in all $20.000.0o0.
Il propose to question the right of
the city Of Chicago to exercise police
jurisdiction over the land. The case
will also determine whether the var
ious noted estates claiming the title
to lots have any legal standing"
Mrs. Cummings is member of the
FLORIDA press association and is well
known all over the state. She at
tended the press association in Ocala
in May and the outcome of her suit
will be watched with interest by the
press of the state.

The Apalachicolian who rides for Is

land at Chattahochee may, perhaps
wish to take a reef in the sail when
he boards a train at Apalachicola in
1907 and scoots across the country
at a pace that viii put him and his
gripsack at Chattahoochee in four
hours, barring accidents. After the
Apalachicolian becomes accustomed
to the new order of things, he will
put on his studying cap and perhaps
invent flying machine that will re
duce the speed one-third. and perhaps,
one-half; for be it known, that once
started, the Apalachicolian will not

Wants the Visit to Serve as an Edu-
cation IA to the Necessity. Of
Drainage-The Governor Will
Be on Hand.

Invitations have been sent out this
week by the board of trade to the
governor and his cabinet, u. s. SEN
ators and representatives, members
of the Florida legislature and editors
of Florida newspapers to become the
guests Of the people Of Lee county on
a trip to Lake Okeechobee. Editors
over the state are admitting that they
know little or nothing about the ques-
ton and to give them an opportunity
of seeing for themselves the real
situation that this move has been IN.
tertaken. There is no politics in the
plan, for the people of Lee county are
looking at the question from prac-
tical. business standpoint. To them
drainage means more than to the peo-
pie of any other county in Florida, for
the great body of water known as
Lake Okeechobee is pouring its sur
plus waters over the fertile soils OF
the Caloosa, and unless something is
soon done to relieve the situation one
OF the grandest, most beautiful aud
productive sections in Florida will be
ruined.
The key Of the drainage question is
Lake Okeechobee. 1t is the basin of
the Kissimmee river valley, and it is
like great Conemaugh dam, threat
ening the country on either side OF
it, because it lies above the lands Of
Lee, lower DeSoto. st. Lucie and
Dade counties.
Homeseekers have spied out the
grand country on the Caloosahatchee.
and in the face Of an annual overflow
have built pretty homes and reared
orange groves that are now a source
OF annual income to them. Capitalists
have seen the opportunity for invest
ment, and have planted hundreds
of acres of orange and grapefruit
groves. In the short space OF ten
years these investments have grown
to value of one million dollars. There
are still rich hammock lands, un-
touched by the axe, that are valued
at one million dollars more.
These lands would be settled upon il
relief could be obtained from the
great flood of water from Lake Okee-
chobee. The lowering of this lake
six feet below its normal level would
this and at the same time
reclaim thousands upon thousands of
acres of the richest soil in the world.
Surely the people who are directly
concerned in this matter have a right
to be heard. 1t win be found that
they are not opposed to the drainage
tax that is or would be imposed on
them to drain the waters Of the lake
Why then should the people outside
of the drainage district oppose the
plan. for they are not called upon to
pay any portion Of the tax. In Fact
the people of Florida outside the
drainage district are not called upon
to pay one cent in taxes. for even
that portion of the state funds in the
hands of the board of trustees of the
Improvement Fund. has been
derived from the sale of lands the
proceeds of which must be used for
this very purpose and no othe-.
The people of Lee county realize
that If the editors of Florida and the
members Of the legislature will come
mere and learn the true situation.
they will see that there is much In
the drainage question for them to
consider, and they will be able to
write and act with knowledge of the
tacts.-Fort Myers Press.
