Visited the Dredge.
Returning from that side of the
state he proceeded down the east
coast and then up New River, where
the dredge Everglade is engaged in
cutting a canal toward the Everglades.
Mr.. Wright said yesterday that the
dredge has cut about threefourths of
mile since it began operations. He
said that it is powerful dredge and
was cutting through the rock in a
manner that he had never seen any
other dredge work. He expressed the
opinion that with competent men in
charge of the dredge the work could
proceed much faster and with fewer
break downs and delays.

He did not confine his observations
to the work of the dredge, but after
going up the river as far as he could
with a launch, secured shallow draft
row boats and proceed up creek I'M

By polling and pushing the boat he

While on the dredge Everglades he
conferred with Engineer Newman, who
is in charge of the work for Gov.
Broward. and obtained his views upon
the work that is now being carried
on.
Upon his return to Washington, Mr.

the Everglades is to be made, Mr.
Wright is of the opinion that 1t will
be necessary for the people of Florida
| to urge upon the states delegation in
congress the Importance of securing
an appropriation for continuing the
work. He is of the opinion that the
survey, to be of any practical value,
will take considerable time and, there
fore, it will take an appropriation OF
several thousand dollars annually to
keep up the surveying corps.

Official County Paper.
The Signal is for George w Berge
for governor. In voicing this senti-
ment we feel confident that we voice
the sentiment of an overwhelming
majority of democrats in Platte
county. We also voice the sentiment
of many republicans who will cherish
the opportunity to vote for Berge.
We believe that Berge can secure 800
more votes in Platte county than any
other candidate who could be named.
The people have confidence in Berge
They know him. He is no experiment.
They know that he is scrupulously
honest, that he is courageous, and that
he has splendid ability to enforce his
convictions. He made gallant fight
two years ago against the Roosevelt
presidential wave. He made splen-
did showing in the result, and we
believe that he is stronger than ever
today Mr.. Berge made the fight
when the odds were against him, it
would be unfair to turn him down
when victory is probable.
There has been some sentiment

all due respect to DR.. Hall and his
most ardent supporters, we assert that

POLITICAL MoUNTEBANKs

The camp followers of public opin-
ion, the suffers of the army of the
human progress in the social and
political world and the Political
Mountebanks who simulate patriotism,
and masquerade in the grave clothes
of heroes and statesmen after thirty
year carnival in politics are at last
being exposed discredited and ban
ished in disgrace from the field of
their former triumphs. These politi-
cal species possesses virility and fe-
cundity and exhibit the chameleon
quality of adapting the color of their
skins to their surroundings, to escape
objection They Bark with the
hounds and run with the hares," being
strangers to convictions or principles
other than intrigue.
During the interims between the
distinctive advance steps in the path
of progress when the public rests
upon its laurels, pretenders lay siege
to the banners and battlehags of the
victorious hosts of progress and by
"out-heroding herod" in their feigned
devotion to the principles held sacred
and dear by those who bore the brunt
of the battle, ingratiate themselves
into public favor and secure control
of the machinery of the victorious
parties, for selfish and ignoble ends.
These pretenders, spurious patriots,
shout loud and long their praises OF
the virtues of past accomplishments,
and when once ensconced in power
through the delicate manipulation OF
the heart strings of popular prejudice
they elude detection of their true
character while they barter away the
dearest rights of the people for posi-
ton and pelf.
Every step in advance along the
pathway of human progress, has been
made against the protest and oppo
sition of this class. But, when new
issue arises and is fought to finish
with victory perching on the banners
of the people, then they rush to the
front and proclaim their undying fidel
ity to the cause they so bitterly
opposed, and ask to be reinstated il

original meaning. Co-partnerships to

crossed party lines and obliterated
party principles, until political parties
became so degenerate that they stood
for little more than traditional names

That the bond of party union rested
upon a party name rather than

when a distinguished United States

every vote upon party questions in
