The arrangement Of the no-drip

LATE CHICKS.
Tendency of Late Years Has Been u
Hatch Too Many-Make Good
Spring Layers.

Once the late chick was considered
OF no account, not worth Matching.
OF late years the tendency has been
to hatch too may chicks late. Per-
haps this is responsible for a great
deal of the poor fertility reported
every spring.
But the late chick as we get it and
find it in the growing should be con.
sidered with more discrimination
than is implied in the general dis.
cusaion Of late Matched" or of June"
or July" chicks, says Farm Poultry.
1t is not the time or the season
that makes or mars the chick. These
of course are factors, but more i'm.
portant are the conditions of the par.
ent stock and the conditions given
the growing chicks. Some fowls are
in better condition for breeding now
than they were in the earlier months.
These may reasonably be expected to
produce their best now But from
Inns that are exhausted no good
chicks need be expected.

Hearts's Definition of D.nocracv

AT the banquet given in his honor
Mr.. w. R. Hearst gave the following
definition of democracy:
Our demands are simply that the
great public service corporations shall
not include our government among
their assets or carry our public SER
wants upon their private pay rolls.
Our demands are simply that the
principles of the declaration of in
dependence and of the constitution
shall be taken seriously and applied
literally; that the government shall
be controlled by the majority of the
citizens and conducted for the bene-
fit of the whole rather than for the
special advantage of any particular
class.
Our demands are simn1v that
the corporations, while allowed to cnO-
duct their business with perfect free
dom for their own interests, as long
as they do not interfere with the
rights or others, shall not be allow
ed TO control our politics and debauch
our electorate
Our demands are simply that the
trusts sholl not break the laws and
buy immunity; that the legitimate de-
velopment of oganization and sOmbi-
nation shall rebound to the benefit
Of the people, and not to their injury
through trust extortion and trust OPP
preston.
81 know that when these ideas are
thoroughly understood they will
meet with complete approval, and will
not be considered dangerous or IAN
archistic," but will be recognized as
just and patriotic"

Will a General Tax Be Levied.

Governor Broward in an interview
in the Tallahassee Sun, says that "as
soon as they (the people) realize that
all the expenses of the drainage must
fall upon them unless this tax is
paid on the swamp lands in this dis
trict, they will find how previously
they have been mistaken"
If Governor Broward persists in
drainage operations, and attempts to
force a tax on the whole state for
this purpose, he will undoubtedly
strike a snag." Our opinion is that
two-thirds of the next legislature will
pass bills over his veto" Lake City
Index.
We do not know so much about
this. There may be a dog concealed
in the blanket. We have been inform
ed that at the last session of the leg
islature some of the biggest holders
of the Everglades area approached
Governor Broward and proposed to
advance him all the money he would
need for carrying on his work of
drainage if he would have his friends
withdraw the drainage amendment
and have instead an act passed i'm
posing a general tax for drainage pur-
poses. The governor declined the
proposition because he thought that
the parties directly benefited ought
to bear the assessment; or, as he
is said to have put it, "let those who
dance pay the fiddler"
Having, however, submitted his
proposition to the voters of the state
in good faith and having it rejected,
who knows but that the two interests
may now join forces and pass a law
levying a general tax and permit ev-
cry tax payer to chip in his mite at
so many mills on the dollar and be
patriotic as we'll as happy!
Theer is one thing absolutely sure,
undrained the lands in the Everglades
will remain forever useless.

NATIONS RICHES INCREASE.
Was $ss,52s, s4s,7ss in 1900 and s1o6,
931, 415,oo9 in 1904.

Washington, Nov. IA large in
crease in national wealth is apparent
from some figures given out today by
the acting director of the census. He
gave the estimate of the national
wealth in 1900 as $SS ,52S, 34S,7 1893, and
in 1904 as s1O6,SS1, 415,OO9.
In former years the census bureau
was an institution which did it's
work every ten years. The eleventh
census, taken under the old system
for 1900, disclosed the national wealth
to be s65 7,O91,197.
1t is therefore shown that in the
ten years from 1890 to 1900 the ma
tional wealth increased $23, 491, 257,-
sol, or 36.1 per cent. in the fourteen
