FUORIDA'S FINE HIGHWAYS.
Great Work of Convicts on GOOD
Roads Proposition.

The use of convict labor in the con-
struction of public works is q phase Of
economics which has been tried in the
southern states with a greater or less
need of success, says the Motor News.
Florida is the latest state to fall in
line and put her convicts to work, and
road building is the task which has
been chosen for the Wrongdoers. This
work has now been going on for some
time, and at the results accomplished
the Floridans express great satisfac-
ton. The work. they say, is not only
beneficial in giving the prisoners an
opportunity to do something, but the
exercise and outdoor life tend TO the
Improvement Of their health.
Under the system adopted in the
Peninsular State the prison laborers
enter scarcely at all in competition
with their free brothers. The roads
would not be built if the cost was
high, and as the state obtains the labor
for the bare cost of keeping the labor
ers the expense Of laying out and
building a magnificent system OF high
ways IS comparatively slight.
Along the east coast of Florida there
are ineXhaustible quarries of cochina
rock. while in the district lying south
of Daytona TO New Smyrna great
quantities of oyster shells are to be
found. Both furnish excellent ma
terials for road building. Thus Florida
has close at hand an abundant and
cheap supply Of road material
The cochina rock is soft and easily
quarried. 1t requires but simple ma
chinery 10 crush 1t, some of it being
merely granulated beneath rollers aft

ELECTION OF U. S. SENATOR'S


A Matter In which t1ie Grange Is Ac-
s:vcIy Interested.
There is Il growing interest in the
matter of clpcting United States sen
ators by popular vote. \ somewhat
novel feature Of the recent Oregon
state election was the expression by
the voters of the state of their choice
for senator. The law of the state does
not permit election of senators by the
people, and this was simply test
vote. What is most interesting is the
fact that the candidate that would
have been elected by the people is not
the one which would have been desig-
mated by the legislature. Senator Gear
in is the present incumbent and was
candidate in the recent test election,
but the majority of the popular vote
was in favor of his adversary. The
majority in the present legislature is
OF the same political faith as Sena-
tor Gearin; consequently his election
would have been assured. but in view
of the fact that the expression of pop
ular opinion was against him he has
advised the legislature to select his adj
versary instead.
That the election of senators by the
people will soon be the law in many
states, if not all. is quite evident. Such
action must be secured by an amend
meut to the constitution. Already rep
resentatives Of nineteen states have
requested congress to call 4 convention
for the purpose Of submitting a consti-
tutiOnal amendment.
1t is well known by all members Of
the Order Of Patrons Of Husbandry
that the popular election Of senators
has been one of their aims for several
years. Each year the national master
has asked the state organization -
work to this end, and the creation of
public sentiment in favor Of popular
! election of senators is due very large
~ to the quiet work Of the grange

WHAT ALCOHOL DOES.


It's Effects on the Human Body From
Medical Standpoint.
Tie Bristol Medical Journal gives the
following summary of the effects of re
peated medicinal doses of alcohol on
the circulation:
Alcohol causes dilation of the arteri-
oles and all arteries we'll supplied with
muscular fibers, owing to its paralyzing
effect on the vasomotor nervous sys-
ten ana its action as a protoplasmic
poison on the muscular fiber. 1t has a
similar action on the heart muscle.
The systolic blood pressure is lowered
and the systolic output of the heart
diminished. \ large bounding pulse
with a short systOlic period is devel-
Oped from large wave in the dilated
vessel The yenOuS pressure and the
diastolic pressure within the heart are
also temporarily increased. Fatty de-
generation Of the heart muscle and
chronic mesoarteritis, with permanent
loss Of elasticity Of the arteries, follow
its long continued use.
Alcohol has an especial affinity -
the nerve tissue. 1t lessons reflex y
ton as an anaesthetic and analgesic. Il
bhibits phagocytosis and decreases the
resistance against acute and infectious
diseases, materially interfering with
natural immunity 1t retards the OK
idation of carbohydrates, and while
giving rise to certain amount of heat
it is too toxic to have any food value.
The author says that there is scarcely
any indication for the use OF alcohol
IN typhoid fever. He also notes that
alcohol develops a prelisposition to all
forms Of tubercular disease. lessons re
sistance to the poisonous effect of the
bacilli and impairs assimilation in nu-

nervous system it is contraiulicated in

Treasury Department, and the re-
suit IS told in the above dispatch
from Washington and this despite
the fact that AIr. Dick few days
since in a lengthy communication
to Secretary Shaw submitted his
resignation, which was ignored and
his dismissal ordered.
When Mr.. Dick was ordered to
appear before a special treasury
agent, and the Baltimore papers
declared this presaged his dismiss
sal, the Daily News, unaware that
further alleged infractions had
been committed by Mr.. Dick and
cognizant only of Collector Stones
promise with the proviso of atten-
ton to duty attached, strongly in
ferred that Collector Stone had not
been faithful to his pledge. This
statement in the light of events
that had then but recently tram
spired, though unknown to the
Daily News was just to Collector
Stone, since he had done all that
he agreed, and was even then pur-
suing the course which he had an
nounced, provided there was fur
Their complaint, against Mr.. Dick
in his official capacity.
Who will succeed Mr.. Dick is a
matter of more or less speculation.
The Office is in the civil service
and IS not presumed to be under
the control of the "powers that
be" in federal politics. 1t is said
that Deputy Appraiser James
Campbell of Baltimore, late of Bar
ton, is an applicant and John J.
Bell, of Homecoming, is likewise
reported in a receptive mood. II
Congressman Pearre enjoys any
power in the premises, not conflict
ing with civil service regulation it
is probable that one or the other
of these gentlemen will receive the
office.

Beach are made of cochina rock, and it
has been used in the construction of
the excellent road which has recently
been completed between Palm Beach
and Miami
Roads on which this material has
been used require but little repairing,
the experience having been that they
improve with age, the stone being
ground down until it is like the finest
macadam.
On the southern automobile circuit
the motorists recently encountered
many crews and gangs of convicts at
work along the Palm Beach Miami
road They also passed a convict
camp where the prisoners were en-
gagged in mining the cochina rock at
the roadside.
The convicts are worked in gangs of
half dozen or so. They are under
guard of keeper, who carries a load
ed rifle, while dogs are kept at hand
to track any prisoner who might feel
impelled to take French leave. This,
however, rarely happens. Florida is
not a land in which one would be

The policy of municipal corporations
amounting the billboards with posters
proclaiming the evils of the use of
drink is spreading throughout Eng
land, where there are now more than
ninety cities following that policy. In
some cases the expense has been borne
by local temperance organizations or
individuals, but generally by the munic-
lpality itself. In some cases the cor
poration attorneys have declared that
the cities have no statutory powers to
appropriate money for such purposes,

Jesus Enter JerusaIems in Triumph.
"A great multitude of people
Fill all the street: and riding on an ass
Comes one of noble aspect, like King!
The people spread their garments in the
way
And scattered branches of the palm
trees!"
THE Divine Tragedy" Longfellow.
Jesus left the hospitable villa of
His friends to join til" pilgrim car
AVIAN on its way to the festivities
of the Passover week. He was
enthusiastically welcomed. These
Galilean travellers had a local pride
in the wonder-p prophet of Naza-
reth. They felt it to be an honor
to be his escort to Jerusalem.
Jesus sent two of His disciples
ahead to bring the beast on which
He should ride. They would find
it tethered at a certain point.
Mention of His name and need
would be all that that was neces-
sary to secure it. This compare
lively insignificant incident, the
request for the beast in the we'll
known name of the Nazarene hast
lily reported from mouth to mouth
along the crowded thoroughfare,
would serve notice Gas it was de-
signed to do of Jesus approach,
up from a thousand pilgrims
booths on the slopes ofOlivet came
an eager throng, out from the city
gate came pouring an ever-aug-
menting multitude of those who
were only awaiting a signal Of
Jesus approach.
Jesus was mounted now, and so
in plain view Of the largest posi-
Bile number. He rode beast con-
sidered appropriate for a sacred
function--one never ridden before.
As only an OK that had never worn
the yoke was esteemed fit for the
altar, so this foal that had never
been saddled was meet for the
Masters use.
Such a transport of admiring
loyalty seized that mighty throng
as made all former ebulitions seem
faint IN comparison. The palm
trees were stripped to provide the
embiems of victory. The thous-
and abbas were proffered to carpet
the highway with, a litter-a
mattress of twigs and green grass
was formed so that the King s
beast might tread softly beneath
Him.
And now the multitude bursts
forth in noble psalm of welcome,
the rear guard responding antiph-
onallY to the van.
The first glimpse of the city is
signal for salvo Of JOY and praise.
David's city is called to welcome
