The Standard Oil company has

jury for receiving rebates. This
is a good start. Now let the jury
indict a few of the officers.
Standard Oil would not mind
paying a fine of a few thousand
dollars, but if the Rockefellers,
Rogers, and a few others had to
spend a month or two in prison
every time the company were
caught receiving rebates, wave

New Rockford, N. d., is going
to do away with the good, old
fashioned hitching post in front
of the stores and hereafter
farmers must quarter their rigs
in the rear of their trading
places. This will be an improve
ment in many ways; it will keep
the streets cleaner and will lessen
the danger of runaways. But
the good people Of New Rockford
who have been accustomed to
looking down "Main street" on a
Saturday afternoon and swelling
with pride at the long string of
teams and wagons decorating the
street, are going to lose some
thing they perhaps will not miss
until they lose it. Every village
in an agricultural community
takes as much pride in the large
number of teams hitched IN front
of it's stores on a busy day as it
does in it's brick buildings and it's
pretty residences. It is sure
sign of prosperity, and very con-
vincing to the stranger. OF
course, as a village grows the
teams have to 60, in time, but
"Main street does not look the
same to the old resident there

why WE THINK So.

The Democrat recently asked II it was
not fact that in the counties Of the
drainage district the candidates for the
Legislature in the late primaries who
favored draining the Everglades were
defeated and the successful were those
known to be opposed to the drainage
scheme. Hon. Frank J. Wilson an
swers that question in the last issue of
the Fort Myers Breeze as to himself by
stating that he, as the representative of
Lee county lin the drainage district) y,
and the nomination for reelection, is in
favor of the drainage. The Breeze in
publishing his letter, adds: 1.-THE Dem
ocrat 10 a good paper, just and fair on
all matters, exactly as it understands
them, and we regret that its editor has
been misled on the drainage question.
The Democrat has certainly not grasped
the situation in Lee county and how
earnestly the people in the drainage dis
trlct endorse the drainage scheme"
We thank our brother for the conf
dence expressed in our good intentions
and our desire to be just and fair, and
assure him that our objection goes
not to the draining of the Everglades
and the relief of the people Of Lee
county-but TO the manner in which il
is proposed to be done. The adoption
of the drainage amendment to the State
Constitution has been offered TO VIZ by
the drainage advocates as a condition
precedent-the only terms upon which
the Everglades may be drained, and we
see IN that amendment too much power
conferred upon five men, too many
temptations to abuse Of power, and too
much opportunity to set up close cor
poration invested with the sovereign
right Of taxing, doing business without
and term fixed for its dissolution, hand
ling large sums Of the peoples money
without official bonds and under no cor
receive restraint by or accountability to
the Legislature of the State. The gov
eminent is digging the Panama canal
by authority Of the peoples congress
and that congress does not lose it's con- !
troll OF that vast enterprise, but once
the Everglades drainage amendment is
adopted, the people of Florida have for
feited all right to interference in the
matter, their Legislature is helpless,
and five men without restraint or con-
troll Of any character outside themselves
can exercise their own wills for an in
definite period in the management Of an
which from its very nature
should be under Legislative supervis- |
ion. We would be heartily glad to see
the people of Lee county get the relief |
from overflow they desire, but surely it
can be done in some other and better |
way than by building up a political ma
chine as completely independents Of Leg
islative control as though IL were q CO.
