Develop the bach County.

The st. Lucie County Tribune quotes
Mr.. j. E. Ingram as having lately Civ
en- bit of advice to the people of Fit
Pierce that should not be confined to one
community. "Open up your back
country if you would build up your
town." was the quiet admonition of
that very practical gentleman, and the
injunction is worth more to the people
of this country than all the speeches Of
the president put together. We hear a
bit too much of the obligations owed
the town by the surrounding country.
1t is our duty to buy in the home town.
1t is our duty to speak up for the home
town and it is our duty to vote for the
interest of the home town. But who
insists on the duty that the home town
owes to the surrounding rural district
incidentally, the farmer helps TO pay
for the pavements and other improve
ments of the home town. When he
brings his truck" for sale the per-
centage for licenses and rents are TAX
en- off the prices offered him. The
banks loan money for extensions 60 the
merchant, but the farmer. just as hon
est and with security just as good,
must pay more for improvements on
his farm. The farmer should patronize
the merchants of his home town, but
does the home town put itself out TO Of
fer him a market for his produce The
city takes very little interest when the
country wants roads or schools, and yet
it is only by "deyeloping the back
country" that the town can be safely
and sanely grown. Always the states
men and the business men are grown
in the country, but when they have be-
come great in the city they never think
Of the country again until they retire
from business and go back home 10
die.
All this must be changed before the
nation frees itself from the scandals
and the mental and moral diseases that
now infest US all. We must develop
the back country" or our cities are but
a building whose Populations are Of
sand, and they will bc overthrown when
the rains come and the winds blow.
The bunders of the last Legislature
are TO cost the people Of Florida CON
siderable sum After the last session
had adjourned. and the announcement
was made that the tax levy would have
to be increased, there was a general
uneasy feeling among taxpayers; and
now, even with an increased tax levy,
the indications are that the extra sea-
sion must provide for raising more
funds. The Legislature has made APP
preparations in excess Of the revenues
of the State, and Governor Broward
finds that something must be done 20
meet the emergency. 1t Is also init
mated that in his call the Governor will
include prohibition amendment 20 the
Constitution of the State, though there
is nothing at all definite on this matter.
When the Legislature meets, it is 70 be
hoped that they will get down 70 work
at once, and not wait until the Gov
ernor or any other power has TO whip
them into line. There will be work for
them 20 do, and the people Of Florida
will want them to'get down 20 business
at once. --Greenville News.

Edward Taylor appeared before the com mfttee on fisheries and game at | the Legislature in Hartford, Thurs | day, in opposition to bill extending
 Taylor said in part: MT Chairman and Gentlemen: If I am correct you are | here to act as guardians for the fish and game, and to recommend laws for
 their preservation and protection; and
 not laws to see how quickly you can
 annihilate them as you are sure to do
 if you allow December shooting. 1
 wish to say right here, that any person
 asking to extend the shooting season into December is unconSciously or oth-
 erwise an enemy of the game birds
 and I should like to ask their reason for so doing, as there is no month in
 the whole year, if allowed to hunt, so destructive to the partridge as the
 month of December; and I plead with yoC as guardians and in behalf of that
 as 1t is and not allow any December
 shooting of birds. We do not wish to
 stop hunting entirely for any number of years, as that would be worse than folly, as it would advertise it in all the
 surrounding states and when the hunt
 ing season again opened the hunters
 would flock in by the hundreds and at
 the end of the first open season, there
 would not be as many birds left as
 there were when the law went into ef feet. We want to allow the sports , man some pleasure, but to so restrict
 him that the game will increase in
 spite of him, and think the law as 1t | now stands is accomplishing 1t. Let the sportsman have about 40 per cent and the birds, 60 per cent that will
 keep them strong. I think the law as | it now stands is doing it. Now, Gen. | noblest game bird In the United
 States, the partridge, one you cannot
 restock; and plead with you to let the law remain as it now stands. In so doing I am voicing the sentiments of the signers of this petition.

Every Man His Own Doctor

The average man cannot afford to
employ a physician for every slight
ailment or injury that may occur in
his family, nor car he afford to neg
lect them, as so slight an injury as
the scratch of a pin has been known
to cause the loss of a limb. Hence,
every man must from necessity be his
own doctor for this class of ailments.
Success often depends upon prompt
treatment, which can only be had
when suitable medicines are kept at
hand. Chamberlain's Remedies have

REFUSES
TO TALK
Kaiser Wilhelm Will Not
Even Discuss Question
of Disarmament.

Berlin, June THE preliminaries
to The Hague conference have been
settlsl to the satisfaction of the EN-
peror and the foreign office, and the
meeting is awaited with tranquility
that did not prevail during March,
when some of the powers were en-
Ideavo' ing to turn a diplomatic success
lover Germany, in making 1t appear
that Germany alone was an enemy Of
people in wishing to omit the question
Iof arnaments from the program.
I Thv Austro- Hungarian and the Rus
Isian government particularly have
associated themselves with the Ger
man view that the conference may
go farther toward elimiHating war
by agreement to extend the peaceful
adjustments of disputes than by de-
bates upon the extinction or curtail-
mend Of armaments. The British
government, which was so active in
pressing for a discussion Of arma-
Iments is disposed now, according to
information received in the German
foreign office, to drop the subject
unless the American or some other
government can be got TO introduce
IT..
The emperor's instructions TO the
German delegates should disarmament
come tC a discussion, are not to take
part Ia the discussion but to note The
developments of the question and re-
port thereon.
Prince Won Buelow, speaking In the
reichstag April 30, said that the gov
ernment would take into earnest con-
sider8tlon any agreements of the 9TH
er powers concerning armaments. The
governments position on this subject
finds general support in Germany.
The Socialists have criticised the
government, but all other parliament
tary groups have approved of it's poll
icy.
The rights of private property at
sea ara considered with the related
questl MS to be the most important
subjects that will be examined. II
is assumed that the United States will
follow its traditional policy of af-
rlrming that private property should
be IMMUNE from capture.
