Not All on the Surface.
|, There's more in the drainage OF
the Everglades than appears on the
surface else there would be no bu-
reau, with Chas. A. ChOate at its
head to create public sentiment
against it's dpainage.-Laurel HIN

Gov. 6roward Commended.
Friends Of the governor allege that
the railroads are the Niger in the
woo0lpile, anent this opposition TO
drainage of the Everglades, and that
the said railroads will spend much
time and perhaps some money, to de-
feat drainage, for fear that they 1.-THE
railToads) will lose a portion OF their
land grant bounty. It is admitted
that the governor has met with
strong opposition in this undertake
ing, and an attempt has been made
20 create a sentiment against drain
age, with what success time only
will tell. Governor Broward says
that his scheme is practical, sensi- !
BILE and in line with what he
promised before his election. For
keeping that promise, we commend /
him-and SO will every other citiz5n
who believes in sincerity and whose
conscience is not besmirched with

Acknowledge the Whale.
The Tampa Tribune's story of a
whale being captured in the gulf last
week and toWed into Tampa, was an
April fool, but was told SO reason |
ably the Star had no suspicion of the
hoax. Very well, Brother StOvall, |
we acknowledge the corn, or rather,
the whale-'Ocala Star.

Also Needs Attention.
While the sponge industry is be-
ing looked after with such care IT
would not seem out of place if the
fishing industry had some attention
and the indisoriminate slaughter Of
fish in the waters under State and
government protection was stopped
There is quite as much danger of the
fish hogs as the spongers.-Gaines

Supreme Court Justices.
In the interest of a continuation of
the present excellent organization of
the Florida Supreme court, friends
Of Judge James B. Parkhill, earnest
~ ask all the democratic electors of
Florida to give these worthy Flori-
uians their vote in the primary cleo
ton May Is, next. Judge Whitfield
ty his experience as county judge,
clerk of the supreme court. State
treasurer, and attorneygeneral is
splendidly equipped for a quick CON-
prehenSion of any complicated legal
Or business problem in the cases
brought before the supreme court for
decision.
Judge Parkhill too, is learned in
legal lore and has had qualifying ex-
perience as an advocate and on the
circuit bench before reaching thel
present high position which he ad-
fills. Florida has a just
cause to feel proud of its supreme
court, the decisions OF which are
cited and stand in the highest courts
Of this country, why then should a
change in its personal be made?-I
