The killing of the Caro's baby was
caused by ignorance or carelessness
OF the street car company and the

Good looks and dollars saved al
the expense of life; a life crushed

Some one is guilty. The people of
Pensacola should find out who. It

It is told of Schliemann, the exhumer
OF buried cities OF the ancient world,
that he was pursued by i'll luck in his
earlier undertakings. Mentioning the
fact to a friend, the latter asked him
which leg and arm he first inserted in
trousers and coat Schliemann said
he habitually inserted the right "That
is the cause Of your misfortunes," said
bis friend. "You have offended the
left hand fairies, and they take out
their vengeance on you. Reverse your
habit and see" And" said Schlie-
mann in telling the incident in his later
and prosperous years, you see how it
changed my luck"

The Mobile Register of Thursday
had the following relative to the Ever.
glades drainage scheme:
The Everglades drainage scheme
OF the governor of Florida is meeting
with criticism in his own state. The
Jacksonville and Pensacola papers are
opposed to it on the ground of the
enormous cost without practical bene.
At. Nearly $4,000 has been expended
for machinery and lumber for
dredges and the total sales of land in
1905, according to the trustees of the
internal improvement funO, only
brought in S867.S4 The expense SO
far is considered to be only a drop
in the bucket, and. in obtaining an
injunction against the collection of
the special drainage tax, Florida citi-
Zens have made affidavibs that the
land is Of comparatively little value
when placed against the cost of re-
clamation and that owing to the char
acter Of the slush land only a portion
could be used for agriculture.

Quarantines at

relative to quarantine matters:
Quarantine will be upon US within
3 few days. There is no getting
around this fact, much as we would
like to do so. The order has gone

ent arrangements except by New
York. But can we not remedy this
condition? For instance. the United
States allows people coming from
Belize, Honduras. TO go into qUaran-
tine at that end Of the line. the neces-
ssry time before sailing and the pas
sengers have an unmOlested entrance
into the United States. The thing for
Cuba to do is 10 use every endeayoT

be able 10 bring about in oay. or a

IN Cuba. The United States main
tains one or more marine hospital ser
vice doctors here all the time anyway
and they could be in charge of this
quarantine station. We suggest that
the American Club continue its good
work with this idea - view.
The adoption Of the plan suggested
D. the Post would result in great con-
venience TO travellers from Cuba to
the United States and there can be
no more objection to it with refer
ence TO Cuba than there is with refer.

Provided a foreign quarantine sta
tion is far enough from an infected
port TO prevent infection OF detained
travellers at such station. their detel-
ton at the point Of embarkation is
Tar more desirable than at the, port Of

Is Graft Back Of The
Isle of Pines TreatYl

The mills Of the gods grind slow
"" il is true. but in the matter of
slowness they cannot for an instant
compete with the legislative mill at
Washington. especially when the lat
ter is putting through a grist that is
anything but acceptable to a great
majority Of the American people.
Even since Congress convened the
Isle Of Pines treaty has been hanging
fire. At first there was considerable
talk regarding it and the assertion
was openly made that it would be
ratified by the senate without delay.
For some reason. probably because of
the sharp criticism the measure has
received at the hands of the Ameri-
can people, no action has been taken,
and il is possible that it may be
ignored for the present and allowed
70 rest in a pigeon hole until things
have Quieted down a little.
According 10 the treaty with Spain
At the close of the Spanish-American
war, the Isle of Pines is as much a
part Of the United States as is the
state Of Florida. The method Of its
cession TO this country was practical
~ identical to the cesSion Of Florida,
ana II cannot be legally given away
by the senate any more than that
bOdy could give Florida back to
Spain.
The powers that be had no qualms
o. conscience in raising the American
flag over the island Of Porto Rico
and it seems rather strange. to say
the least, that any body of American
citizens would, for an instant, even
consider a proposition to relinquish
al claim 10 the Isle Of Pines.
Can it be that there is a little graft
mixed up in the deal?

HOW SHALL WE SPEND
THE STATES MONEY
Jacksonville Times Union.
Z a; Z e q & y s&sa

Governor BrOward has a very poor
opinion of the wisdom that makes
opinions for the state press, but Just
now it is possible that the state press
might not think the wisdom of the
executive department at Tallahassee
exactly that of SolomOn-therefore
one may be accepted as a balance foe
the other, and no bones need be
broken. But it is more important
to know what the people think than
what the parties to this controversy
think of each other, and there is OBJ
portunity for an appeal-why not have
it?
The State has a certain sum Of
money at its dispOsal-the governor
thinks this should be spent Accept
ing the doctrine that good money
should not lie idle while We work. the
question arises how shall we spent it?
The governor thinks it should be in
vested in drainage, and he has al
ready put a goOdly sum in mud Of
problematic value, while the state
press is practically unanimous in
thinking if it must be spent it could
more prOfitably take the shape OF
people decide which is wiser, the
press or the governor. If we have
the money shall we have a system
of highways or some millions of acres
in mud for ten years?
We have our doubts as to whether
the Everglades can ever be made into
anything more valuable than water,
but suppose we accept the governor
opinion that ten million dollars would
give us a large acreage of land; what
then? Land, of itself, returns no
revenue-every mile of road would
put increased values on the tax books
and multiply the ability of the rural
districts to pay taxes. Which is
wiser, to improve what We have or Let
needed improvements wait while we
put money in more unimproved land?
The press of the whole south have
been advising the people to practice
intensive farming-was it wrong?
We have even heard that 'ten acres
of Florida land was enough for the
average family'-was this wrong?
Why give ready money We need for
land, however good, that we don't
need? Which is right, the governor or
the state press?

there are dispensing with it as a feed
for hogs. They have discovered that
garden peas are superior to corn for
this purpose, making better pork for
less money. The idea might be test
