The Pensacola Journal recently
suggested as a compromise on the
Everglade drainage, that the state
proceed to dig a canal across Florida
and abandon the Everglade drainage
scheme. The Democrat would sug-
gest, on behalf of the tax payers of
Florida, who are now paying as high
rate of taxes as necessary, that
digging bitches of any kind by the
state of Florida be abandoned, the
dredges owned by the state sold, and
the proceeds therefor placed in the
state treasury to the credit of the
school fund.

FOR STATE PROHIBITION.

Senator HUMPHREYS, Of Braden-
town, is .fatheFing a movement look
ing towards the adoption -ofTa con-
stitutional amendment which would
shut out the liquor traffic from the
entire state.
- Now, at the JEFF Browne reception
at Key West this writer saw Senator
HUMPHREYS in powerful close prox-
unity to the artillery punch. There
was Observation-Disclosures ex-
preston on his benevolent counten-
ance, but whether the mere inhala-
ton of punch through his temperate
nostrils caused this beautiful express
sion, deponent sayeth not. One fact
remains: The Honorable Joe, alone
of all the brilliant company, lost his
hat, Others may have lost their
heads, but if so, the difference was
not sufficiently noticeable to attract
attention. But Senator HUMPHREYS
shore did, lose his lid!
Persifiage aside, a vote On the
amendment suggested would pre-sup-
pose a hot old tim Elm the state. For
one thing think of the howl that
would go up from the tourist hotel
folks, whose income from drinkables
is probably larger than from estables.
Outside the larger cities, however, We
believe there would be a large ma
jority in favor of such a measure.

STATE LIFE INSURANCE.

--%r -
Governor Napoleon Bonaparte
Broward of Florida is off on a stern
chase after the life insurance compan-
les of the East. Governor Broward is
a stern man and his stern chase is
going to be a stern one. He wants
Florida to go into the life insurance
business.
In a special message to the legis-
lature of his state Governor Broward
points out that the foreign insurance
companies have returned to Florid-
ians in losses paid about $4,000 900
and have received upwards of 3d.
600, 900 in premiums during the last
13 years. So, why not let the state
go into the life insurance business?
Just look, she might have saved her
people nearly sS,OOO,0O0 in the last
Is years!
This is the old. old fallaey. Gov
ernor Broward should remember that,
even If the insurance companies have
collected $4,000, 900 in premiums in
Florida and returned only $1,000
900 in losses paid the companies
still have large amount of money
held in trust for Florida policy
holders. Moreover, Governor Bro
ward should remember that the diff
ference between the $5,0OO,0OO in
losses paid and the s13,000,000 in
premiums collected does not mean
profit of SS,0OO,OOO for the company
If Governor Broward will look over
his state he will see several thou
sand men engaged in the business of
getting people to take out life in
surance. These men must be paid
and they must have offices, clerks
and other employees.
Florida might go into the business
of life insurance, but she probably
would not sell much insurance with
out employing agents just as the
companies do now. Life insurance is
sold by persistent solicitation. Men
don't seek out the agents; he has to
seek them. If insurance were like
postage stamps, if no man could get
along without it, state insurance
might be a great scheme. For all the
state would have to do would be to
open an insurance Office in each town
and proceed to accept business.
But if the state of Florida should
go into the life insurance business,
why should she not go into the fire
insurance business? Or any other
business? We do not believe that
the people of America want state
socialism even if they could be alb
solutely assured that state socialism
would be fair and square and that
the public enterprises would be hon
estly and economically and efficiently
administered. But with the graft
and corruption that government IN
America is prone to how much less
do the people want state socialism?

STRAUSS IMPORT LABOR DECISION.

The anti-contract labor law. enacted
by congress some years ago to protect
domestic labor against labor imported
under contracts by corporations or in
dividuals, has been decided by Secre-
tary Strauss of the department. of
commerce and labor not to apply to
states. The state of South Carolina
has sent its commissioner OF immigra-
ton TO Europe to secure mill and fac
tory laborers. He returned with Ara
Immigrants whose passage money was
paid partly by the state and partly by
the voluntary contributions of en-
ployerss in need of labor Objection was
made to the entrance of these immi-
grants on the ground that it was an
infraction of the law. 1t was held by
the department that the law had not
been violated, as the immigrants were
not under contract. being free 10 re-
feet any offers made to them after their
arrival and not being bound to the state
or any of its citizens. It was further
more held that the prohibitions in the
/ land law are not applicable to contracts
made by states or by officials of states
acting under their authority.

TEACHING AS A, PROFESSION.
TCedar Rapids Republican,

| [Cedar Rapids Republican,
Two eminent judges of the supreme
court Of the state have. given it as
their opinions that the teacher has no
professional standing in Iowa. That is
that teaching Is not a profession in
this state, but merely temporary oc-
cupation a shift between the high
school or the college and the ultimate
business career of the man, or matri-
mony for the woman. They seem to
think it is largely matter of pay.
That is II the teachers were better
paid that there would be a body Of
men and women to devote permanent
ly their time and talents to the work
of educating the young.
One can not accept that conclusion
without some doubts. From the very
nature Of things few women can de-
vote their time permanently to teach
ing. Most women marry at some time
or other in their lives. And when
they are married they rarely go
ahead with the work Of teaching. The
married woman finds ample opportun-
ity for her talents and her time In
the keeping of her own home. AS far
as women are concerned. the profess
sion of teaching will always be a
mere makeshift, until something bet
ter turns up and that something better,
as it appeals to most women Is mar
riage. 1t is not question Of pay at
all. When love comes and the oppor-
tunity comes, whether Love does or
not most women will not stand on
the matter OF salary. They would get
married if the school boards were
paying them 500 month as readily
as they do when the boards are pay
ing them only $50 month. There are
some exceptions and the exceptions
are apt to be women of the highest
qualifications in the work of teach
ing. But the rule is the ether way.
AS to the men, very few Of them
can be induced even by nigh salaries
to devote their whole lives to the work
OF teaching. In the special and higher
branches teaching is a development
and a pleasure, but the common school
branches soon grow into humdrum.
There are other kinds Of work that
men would rather do, and in which
they can earn more money than schooi
boards can possibly pay them.
In short, we see no escape from the
conclusion that teaching must re-
main temporary occupation among
us. And that is not wholly bad. II the
new teacher does not have the tech
nique, he has at least the enthusiasm
which is apt to be dormant in the one
who has devoted many years to the
work. There are compensations.

DIVORCE m NORTH DAKOTA.

In "a recent issue of the American
Journal of Sociology the divorce situa-
ton in North Dakota and certain other
states is forcibly presented by Profess
sor j. Lee Coulter. of the University
of North Dakota AS the state af easy
divorce, North Dakota has attained
considerable distinction, which seems
to be justified by the figures Professor
Coulter produces. Not only is the num-
Ter Of divorces yearly granted to out
siders large, but the number obtained
by natives is excessive. Before 1895
the recognized grounds for divorce were
very numerous and there were ample
facilities for securing divorces. It was
almost a true story that in that period
North Dakota husband had to read
his daily paper carefully to be sure
he was still married. The record for
Vermont in 1902 was one divorce to ten
marriages; for Rhode Island, one di-
vorce to S.4 marriages; for Indiana, one
divorce to 7.6 marriages. In Indianap-
oils the ratio was to 3.S. In Cass
county, North Dakota, the mecca Of
divorce-seekers. the ratio in 1898 was
1 to LII. Under the new laws Of 1890
and 1901 the average OF the last three
years has been 1 to IL.
Japan Is supposed to excel in d.
vorces, the proportion in 1886 being COS
to each 100000 Of population. But the
rate in Cass county was nearly twice
that. Morton county, North Dakota.
in 1898 had one divorce to LIS mar
riages. At the state capital in 1898
there were more divorces than mar
has very much improved. At present,
taking the state as whole, there is
about / divorce to 20 marriages. OF
the applications for divorce S7.4 per
cent are granted. The remedy for
the divorce evil, it is suggested, is to
make marriage more difficult and
more impressive" 1t is suggested also
that where a divorce is granted on ac-
count of alleged misconduct Of crim-
inal character the state should prose-
cute the crime. Cruelty, for example,
is alleged in Is per cent of the cases of
divorce, and In Canada persons con-
victed Of cruelty go to the whipping
post. II the guilty party were rewarded
with sentence instead of a divorce,
the evil, It is thought, would be
checked.

ter landed hard on the surprised and
guilty boys. Don't you know that
you mustn't play games on Sunday
he demanded. One of the boys explains
ed that they worked every day from
daylight to dark in the pit, had no time
or opportunity for play. and had simply
taken advantage Of the only daylight
they saw during the week. 1--WE didn't
think it SO wrong" he explained.
We'll" admitted the preacher, ut is
hard, but the devil will get you if you
play pitch and toss on Sunday" AT
this the second lad spoke up, with re-
lief in his voice: "Ah, weel,'' said he.
"Oi did hear ma feyther read i t. Boible
t'other noight thot t. davvel be chained
doom and If he be chained doom hoo con
he get we?' That's easily accounted
for" returned the minister. He's
chained all right but the chain is long
enough to let him range all over the
earth, and he'll get all the boys who
pay tOit tll0 iNottOUdll ddS. ASIi liS
third boy broke out disgustedly and
profanely: "Oh ~" he exclaimed.
They might as well let the son-o OLA
gun loose as to tie him up with a chain
like that"
Mr.. Strauss is playing the part of
the preacher. II laws against contract
labor imports are to be of any effect
they must be enforced as Il national
measure. His ruling simply let's the
devil loose. When organized labor
lines up against the wholesale importa-
ton Of European labor in competition
1t will have many sympathizers. One
OF the strongest arguments behind our
protective system is it's protection of
the American workingman against the
pauperized labor Of the old hemisphere.
1t would seem as easy to compete with
it with an ocean between as located in
the cottage next door and bidding for
a job at lower wages in the home fac
tory.
