sRowARD AND THE AMENDMENT

The Ocala Banner seems to think
that the people did not understand
the question when they voted against
drainage. Evidently the Banner has
a poor opinion of Governor Broward's
ability to explain, for If the people
were left in the dark as to the drain
age amendment it was not because the
governor did not do his best to con-
vince them that it was to their in
|terest to vote for it.-Gainesville Sun.
On the contrary, the Ocala Banner
was wonderfully impressed with the
lucid manner in which Governor
Broward explained the drainage prop
osition, but the governor was almost
alone on his side of the proposition
while there were arrayed against
him a dozen or more of the most pow
erful and captivating orators of the
state, among whom were Frank Clark,
Frank Pope, Charles Dougherty, John
Beard, Alex st. Clair-Abrams, Joe
Humphreys and quite a number or
others, and the newspaper press was
almost unit against the proposition.
This paper failed to comprehend
the significance Of the proposition
and did not know until just before
the election that the amendment was
already the statute law Of the state
and was almost unanimously adopt
ed by the previous legislature, and
no member of that body thought then
that the drainage board was invested
with too much power.
The voter, always timid as to tax
alton, was frightened and did not un-
derstand that those not directly ben
efitted by drainage was to be relieved
of taxation by the adoption Of the
amendment.

English as a Classic.

President SchurmaD. as Reported In Cornell Sun.
A generation ago the education of coli
lege man confined itself almost entirely TO
a study of Latin. Greek. philosophy and
metaphysics. while now the study of his
tory, economics and other subjects of prac-
teal bearing predominates. Interest in the
classical languages has now largely abated
even with persons who make a study of
them. The student was formerly supposed
to get his training from Greek and Latin
English he studied incidentally Now the
study OF English Is predominant in the
American colleges. This should not be con-
sidered. however, as a dfsparagement of the
progress of American culture; 1t should be
remembered that the Greeks themselves
wrought out their wonderful culture iitera-
ture and art entirely without the aid of a
foreign language The schoolboys OF
Greece were required to commit to memory
the best poems of the language-notabiy
the poems of Homsf-which shaped their
thoughts, conversation and acts and final
iy their character.

MIX Pays More than Butter.

The following, with reference to the
decline Of butter manufacture in En-
gland, is from Hon. Frank w. Mahin,
United States consul ut Nottingham,
England: "One plausible explanation
Of the manifest decline in dairying in
England is that it is more profitable
to sell the milk. the drinking of which
Is increasing. than TO convert it into
butter. Consequently the average
British farmer Is making no butter to
sell. but is even buying what he needs
for his own use. Furthermore, 1t is
asserted that some English diaries buy
foreign butter and sell 1t as their own
product--the domestic article. though

Fat in Milk,

The percentage of fat in milk from n
single COW may vary. one day giving
different results from the next. In an
experiment with Il choice Jersey cow
the milk was found to range from AS
per cent to 5.S3 per cent. A single test
with a COW may, therefore. be of no
value, rs In the one case more milk
would be required to make Il pound OF
butter than In the other, as was shown
In the variation in fat with the above
experiment..
