ting him into the division superin-
tendent's Office as a messenger. That
was ages ago, and now Tom had been
depot master of the K for fifteen years
at one Of Its most important western
/, terminals, and few strangers ever
came in or went out Of the terminal
| to register any kick. But time had laid
| its hand heavily upon Tom, and he
had grown totally incompetent to per-
form the duties which fell to his lot.
He was, however, a favorite with the
general passenger agent and even the
president had a kindly feeling toward
the old man. The general passenger
agent had spent several bad half hours
over Old Toms case. He had finally
put of the evil day when summary
action would become necessary, by
giving the old man a young and able
assistant. This worked we'll for the
time being, but traffic increased to a
point where it became absolutely nee
essary to have an efficient depot mas
| ter.
One day the president sent for the
general passenger agent and told him
that affairs at the depot would have
to move more smoothly.
II would gladly make some changes
there and at other Places" replied the
general passenger agent IF you
would only supply me with means Of
peasioaing few old employees"
"You can't pension anyone on this
road" snapped the president, land the
sooner you get that idea out Of your
head the better it will be for the serv-

MADE NO CONVERTS.

Citizen" in the Jacksonville Me-
tropolis, who was present and heard
Governor Broward's speech last Satur-
day night, on a street Of Jacksonville,
says: II do not think Governor Brow
ard made one additional convert here to
his drainage scheme by his speech Sat-
urday night. His assault upon the State
press was in bad taste and showed more
anger than argument or reason. Were
it not for State newspapers there is no
telling what officials would do. The
papers represent the masses-the Gov
ernor only himself"
Also, lone Who Voted for Broward, 4"
and was present and heard the speech,
says in the same newspaper: Gov
ernor Broward's drainage scheme may
be good thing, but judging from ex-
pressions and comments on his speech
on that subject Saturday night here, he
failed to convince some of his auditors
of the fact. Now, / don't want it
thought that am politically opposed to
N. b. Broward, for | am not. voted
for him, but am becoming more con-
WINGED daily that he has undertaken al
most an impossibility and project
which he can hardly hope to live long
enough to see the good results pre-
dicted 1t is too much of job for our
State, much less one man to handle.

BACK INTO POLITICS.

The present badly mixed status Of the
Everglades drainage scheme makes 1t
probable that that issue will go before
tho people for reconsideration. II the
decision Of the Federal Court holds good,
the Board of Drainage Commissioners
is practically functus officio, and only
the Legislature can levy the taxes nee
essary TO carry on the work. 1t is very
nearly as though the whole business had
TO be done over from the start, and as
very decided public sentiment in all
parts Of the State is now vigorously as
serting itself against the plan TO drain
the Everglades, it is entirely proper
that candidates for the Legislature
should declare themselves on this issue,
so that Il may be known il they are in
accord with the wishes Of their constit-
uents. The Everglades are evidently in
politics now. Governor BrOward has on
his war paint, and as he is reputed TO
be good fighter and the issue is warm
one and getting warmer, we may eX-
pect lively campaign The Times
Union is strongly committed against
the Governors pet measure, and many
other papers are evidently inclined in
the same direction. 1t will make very
pretty issue, indeed, and it will be right

The above we take from the Live Oak
Democrat, which was followed by
portion Of our last week IS editorial, "A
Timely Warning, " and which called at
tention to the Importance Of having the
trucst and best men in the next Legis-
lature as Senators and Representatives;
and it will be Of the utmost Importance
to have them there, too. Reckless
abuse Of official power, extravaganza in
expenditures, etc, must be stopped, or
Florida will in few years be classed
with the bankrupt, as she is now, to an
extent, with the regulators. 1t is inn

portance It that none but men who can be
depended on TO do the clean and honest
thing on behalf Of the people against
the tricksters come to Tallahassee as

GOVERNORS DRAINAGE sCHEnE.

We devote large part of our space
this week TO the Drainage of the Ever
glades, believing as we do that the
drainage proposition is one Of the great
est Importance to every living Floridian.
Facts are set forth almost every day TO
the effect that the proposition is i'm
practicable, that it is, to say the least,
extremely doubtful that the Everglades
can be satisfactorily and proftably
drained, and that ifthey could be drain
ed would not be worth near the cost TO
drain them, and that in view of the fact
that there are 80 many more profitable
ways the Internal Improvement moneys
could be applied, one Of the many of
which was provided for by act of the
legislature, 1903, to be apportioned to
the counties for roads, etc, but which
was treated with contempt by both
Governors jennings and Broward, read
on the subject carefully, and get all the
information you can gather, for this
drainage business is sure to be one of
the livest issues ever up for the people
of Florida to handle. For these and
other good reasons we offer no apology
for giving our readers all the informa-
ton against this wasteful piece of fool
ish public extravaganza we can gather
and hope a majority will in time see the
Importance of putting a stop to it.
True. large slice has already been
spent for machiney, etc. but it may be
stopped before the whole Internal I'm
provement Fund is wiped out of exist
ence, that Governor Broward's cam
paign promises and pet scheme may be
kept, as far as he is concerned, as dear
as will have been the cost.

WHAT NEWSPAPERS THINK.

In the opinion of experts the draining
of the Everglades would also drain the
State treasury. Miami News.
The blow that killed father" was
the decision of Judge Locke, of the
United States Court, Saturday last, in
the drainage injunction case. Lake
City Index.
If Governor Broward don't carry out
his campaign pledge to reclaim the
Everglades it will be no fault of his.
He is using every effort in this direc-
ton, as he also is in carrying out every
other pledge to the people. -Manatee
Record
Governor Broward is staying pretty
close to his drainage scheme, but the
indications now are that the law under
which he is operating will be declared
unconstitutional by the United States
Supreme Court. -Manatee River Jour
nal
Broward's scheme to drain the Ever
glades is a great scheme to drain the
State treasury, and this is about all it
will amount to. Mr.. Broward will find
this out after spending many thousands
Of dollars of the taxpayers money.
The attempt will simply result in
waste of the peoples money. - Volusia
County Record.
Governor Broward is now busily en-
gagged in making preparations to drain
the Everglades. Owing to the great
amount of work and worry attached to
the venture. would it not be a good
idea to wait until the Panama canal is
dug, and have the same force move
their machinery over on the Three
Friends and make short work of the
drainage proposition? The amount of
money paid in attorneys fees by the
Internal Improvement Fund would pay
for the work within a few years.
Gadsden County Times.
There is much being said just now
about Governor Broward's proposition
to drain the Everglades. 1t is our opin-
ion that this draining proposition is one
that might be allowed to rest for sew
erll years. If one will just take drive
through the country, it can but be very
obvious that we do not need the addi-
tional land that this draining scheme
proposes to give US, but that the money
required to finance the scheme could be !
used to some little advantage in the
manner of road building Marianne
