Republican Graft.

One of the life insurance magnates
has been arrested for giving large
sum Of money, that should have been
sacred to the widows and orphans of
the policy holders, To the republican
national committee. President Roose-
welt declared before election that no
tainted money was being used in his
campaign, but the evidence shows that
he was greatly mistaken, for the in
surance trusts and other corporations
came down" handsomely. The strange
part of it is that the administration
organs before the last national elect
inc declared that the President was
managing the campaign on d bust
ness basis and receiving daily re-
ports of the finances OF the republican
committee from Chairman Cortleyou.
Was the president deceived or did he
then think insurance money was
tainted? No restitution has yet been
made, thou it would seem that the eth
les of the situation demand that the
money be returned to its rightful own
ers.

In reply to your letter l write you

after having my little girl treated by a
very prominent physician for an Obstl-

pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
physicians prescription and relied en-
tirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When
We commenced with the Cuticura Rem
edies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six weeks
we had her completely well, and there
has been no recurrence of the trouble.
. In July of this year little boy IN
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and In twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were mass

Cutlcura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
amounted them with the Cuticura ONT
ment, and then gave him the Cuticurs

hands and arms healed up; so we have
lots of cause for feeling grateful for the

A POINT FOR THE GOVERNOR.

Alex-St. Clair Abrams. the we'll
known lawyer. is now furnishing for
the Jacksonville Metropolis a series
of articles on the Everglades drainage
question which makes interesting
reading and present the question in a
new light The point has been made
that the railroads are behind the OPP
position to the drainage scheme, but
Mr.. Abrams disposes of this by the
statement that only the L. & n. rail-
road company has any claim 20 the
Everglades and the validity of this
claim is now before the supreme court
OF the United States for adjudication
If the company loses that suit it will
of course be Indifferent to the drain
age issue. and If 1t wins it naturally
would prefer to receive its lands af-
ter they had been greatly increased in
value. From this Mr.. Abrams draws
the reasonable conclusion that is is
absurd to suppose that the railroad
company has anything to do with the
opposition Of Governor BrOward's
drainage scheme. The latter gentle
men, who is to speak in Live Oak
next Saturday on the drainage issue
should by all means take up the fol-
lowing point made by Mr.. Abrams
with reference to the pending rail-
road lawsuit TO determine the title
to the Everglades:
What would be thought of man
who while engaged in a lawsuit in
volving the title of piece of land
proceeding with full knowledge of the
fact that the court might finally de-
termine the land did not belong to
him. TO spend an enormous. sum of
money in the Improvement of such
land before there was a final adjudi-
cation of the litigation. He would be
regarded a little short of insane; and
yet, this is precisely what the state
drainage board Is doing and what
Governor Broward says he intends to
persist in doing; spending not only the
money of the owners Of the land taxed,
but also the funds of the trustees of
the International Improvement Fund
and that. too, without the slightest
authority of Iaw"-Live Oak Demo-

The Eevrglade drainage proposition
is in no sense a personal controversy
between those two for any reason,
may be friendly or unfriendly towards
Governor Broward and the other
members of the board of drainage
commissioners. The fact is well known
that Governor Broward. in his cam
paign for the nomination made a large
use of the project to drain the Ever
glades, making numerous and some
what extravagant promises of what he
intended to accomplish in that direc-
ton if he should be nominated and
elected. Because he is now earnestly
(although through mistaken and dam
gerous methods) endeavoring 10 full
fill some of these campaign promises.
he is rather to be commenced than
condemned. Few politicians make
such efforts. But the means adopted
for the contamination of the drain
age project are legitimate and proper
subjects of criticism; and the more
they are discussed without rancor or
prejudice) the more clearly will the
people be enabled to decide for them
selves the theories and the principles
involved. 1t is a great and vital ques-
ton of public. policy. upon which every
voter in Florida should have all the
possible light. and concern which he
should have. before going 10 the polls,
