only the friendliest feeling for the State
press, which has welcomed us with a cor
diality that shows true Southern hospi-
tality, but we would suggest in all good
will that some of them should exercise
a little more logic in their editorials.
Recently a news bureau" has been
established in Jacksonville to discriminate

Railroads are only human, and while
they would be glad to see their lands
drained, they would rather have the
State do it than to do it themselves
just like all of us. Now, the man who
owns ten or twenty or a hundred acres
does not particularly dread s cents an
acre tax. But the corporation that
counts its lands by the millions of acres
naturally gets nervous. It must "come

THE EVERGLADES.

While the Independent is a stranger
comparatively, to Florida, it has been
here long enough to come to the conclu-
sion that the most important question
before the people of this State is the
drainage OF the Everglades for the pur-
pose Of retaining the millions of acres
ct swamp and overflowed lands in the
southern part of the peninsula. The
question involves great possibilities.
Either the wasting of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in chasing a will-ofthe-
wisp, or else the best expenditure of
money the State has ever made, and one
returning hundred fold for every dol.
lar spent.
The State of Florida now has 3,O0O,-
COO acres of overflowed lands in the vast
expanse men call the Everglades, from
which our State is known sometimes as
the "Everglade State" Seventeen mil
lions of acres, here and elsewhere in the
state, have been given to the various
railroad companies for constructing their
lines in the State. They are suing for
most of the rest. The swamp and over
flowed lands were decided to the State
half century ago by the Federal Gov
crnment, for the express purpose of
draining and retaining them. This has
never been done. Though discussed at
various times, it was never brought to a
focus until Governor Broward was
elected on his platform pledging the
drainage of the Everglades.

not responsible for his name-is no ordi-

The Inconsistent Public conscience.

There are few questions concerning pub
lie morality that the American public IS
inclined to take seriously. Perhaps the
tendency to leyity on these subjects is
helped by the peculiar sort of people who
establish themselves as censors, and by
m0untebank methods intended to attract
attention 10 themselves rather than to
the cause they represent. The most re-
cent evidence of our tendency 10 ridicule
such matters occurred in connection with
Mark Twains Ewes Diary" which,
barred by a sensitive librarian from the
public library OF Worcester. Mass, has
received more free advertising than any
book OF recent years. In the text Of
Mark Twain's book there is, of course, no
matter for offense. The implied indecency
is in the illustrations. So far throughout
the country-and Mark Twalns reputa-
ton is so far-fiung that the comment has
been general-the whole matter has been
treated as a joke.
II was the same way d few days ago.
when extracts We're published from a
book by Mrs. Parsons, a young matron
who dared 10 advocate seriously, as a
remedy for unhappy marriages. a scheme
of matrimonial trials by which, after a
shorter or longer period, the tie could be
dissolved by mutual consent. Here again
a proposition which thinking men were
shocked at, which clergy of all denoml-
nations denounced as hideously immoral
using the strongest terms of condemna-
ton. was treated by the public at large
as rather a good joke. with little
thought Of the immortality, not TO say
the insult TO all the happily welded, con-
tained in the senseless proposition.
In our own city we are confronted with
a similar subject, and one that. so far
from being laughed out of the court Of
public opinion. deserves serious considera-
tiOn. II is the protest against a certain
class of pictorial advertising in the
streets. Much Of the billboard advertis-
ing is Unobjectionable and inofensive,
but there is much, also. that calls for
suppression. II is said that these things
are allowed In other cities. So is gam
bling, and so, likewise. are other evils
that are not tolerated here. AS citizens OF
the Nations Capital, containing the finest
architecture. the best libraries, and the
homes of those who guide the nations
destinies, it is doubly our duty 10 set a
high example and not TO alIow-because
it may profit a few individuals-our
streets and dead walls 10 become the
blazon Of viciousness.
