The Tallahassee True Democrat makes
it all right about the miscredited clip
ping about Governor Broward and the
Everglade drainage scheme and takes
occasion to speak kindly of the Gov

And we meant just what we said,
too. We believe Gov. Broward means
well. He is human, however, and there
is a possibility that all human agencies
may make mistakes. We repeat, we

ernor, and we earnestly respect and
honor him as such, but we stick to it,

politicians, can, and will injure his USE
fulness if he gets too deep into their
clutches. We hope at the close of his
administration he will be classed with

Readers of Florida papers, and some
others, have doubtless lately noticed an
article going the rounds in reference to
the railroad rate legislation, in which it
is sought to show that there is not only
no demand among the people for such
legislation, but, on the other hand a |
decided opposition to it, and some very
well sounding but specious arguments |

newspaper in which the article appears. |

editorial pages at any price, and in our
editorials we generally give expression
to what we believe to be right, and
"the sentiment is thrOlOn in" it, too.
