THE LAST WORD.

Short Talks" of the Times-Union
takes a final whack at us on the great
issue of the Florida raZorback hog,
and abandoning the question of pull
chritude and avordupois, where our
triumph Is complete, says:
THE Live Oak Democrat says 1t
has been its effort to feed up, reform
and evolute the Florida TaZorback
hog into an improved type that will
look better, taste better, weigh more
and bring more in the open market
Its improved type may look better
and weigh more, but no one who has
eaten Florida pork will contend, I'M
less prejudiced, that a pork can be
produced that will taste better than
the FIorida-bred article
We have said nothing derogatory
to Florida pork of the edible variety.
There is an abundance of it made from
Florida hogs fattened for the most
part on florida mast until shortly be-
fore killing time" when they begin
to board at home and take on flesh
for the approaching sacrifice. Our
criticism has been directed solely to
the ''inedible'' variety coming from
that degenerate monstrosity, that re-
proach to our civilization, that
shrunken, shapeless, tasteless, por-
cine nightmare, that hideous dream
of hide and hair and horror, that al
legory of starvation, that spectre of
want and woe known as HE Florida
razorback hog. To bingGs praises is
to encourage degeherSey; to declare
him toothsome is 10 insult the
memory of Epicury& We once heard
a distinguished politician rise on his
toes in public address in which he
was bitterly denOuncing a notorious
character. and bawl out: so help
me God, fellow citizens, it is treason
to your children to ever cease to
damn HIM" We won't go that fa~
in this case, because We hold the
razorback as the helpless victim of
heredity and environment. but our
feelings have a tendency in that dfrec-
ton All this to the Tampa Tribune.
as well as the Times-Union. and may
the shadows of their esteemed editors
never grow less by a prolonged diet

In these trOublOus times. we are

signs which will Indicate that the
high tide of vice and crime and crazy
money-grubbing has been reached
and the reaction is about to set in
The strenuous life" was all well
enough to talk about and gush about
until ii overwhelmed US and then We
realized how utterly false and mis-
leading 1t was as an ideal of true liv-
ing to bring the supreme blessings
of peace, morality and contentment.
One effect of the strenuous life was
to tempt population from the rural
districts, crowd the towns and cities
with people lured there by the delu-
sive hope of making money RAPIDLY.
and destroy the old COntentment and
sturdy sense of independence which
formerly pervaded the farm life of the
country. But the reaction is about
to set it and the old farm is to come
into its own again as the best
place in the world for a man
to live who wants to get the largest
measure of contentment out of life.
and in a big majority of instances
make more money than in the towns
and cities. A prominent northern
paper has noticed this reaction, which
is now setting in. North and South
alike, and says:
There is no more wholesome and
sign in this country now
than the tendency to what is called
the agricultural revival" The for

farms to the cities is checked. 1t was |

That it is the duty of every man
to first give earnest heed to his own
personal interests, no reasonable
person would for a moment attempt
to gainsay, or deny, but it is true
also that every man, by Virtue OF
the tie that bindN us together as a
people has some duties ito perform
outside of his perse nal affairs. All
of our civic and sod blessings are
entirely dependent UPON a recOgni-
ton of our response Fo the mutual
obligations upon us and no man
rich or poor. high or low. can be
justly excused from responsibility to
these things. No sfford that is put
forth by any individual Or set of in
dividuals resultingfn good to the
town, fails to conFibute to every
man directly or Indirectly his pro-
pOrtionate share OF the blessing. and
in turn appeals to him for such re-
ciprocation as he may be able 10
give.

to say about Congressman Clark

action was bound to come as surely
as the return swing of the pendulum.
There is a reverse flow from the city
to the farm. The causes of this in
every way desirable turn of the tide
are complex. First and most potent,
undoubtedly, is the economic one, the
increased relative profitablenesS of
farming, and the multiplying EVIL
dences that the farmer is a prosper

As heretofore stated Hon. John S.
Beard insists that we don't need a
constitutional amendment to secure
State prohibition. but thinks the
legislature has full authority to enact
a statute of that kind. Here IS his
reasoning in brief:
The Constitution of the State Of
Florida places no Limitation or re-
strictiOn upon the ppwer of the Legis-
Iature to prohibit the sale OF in
toxicating iquG in the state. 1 take
the intent tand>meaning OF Article
NIX to be as tonaws, yyyiz: That as
the sale of intoxicatsng liquors is
legal, in the ebsencey6f State prohibi-
ton. Article xIN permits any county.
upon complying fifth the conditions
specified in the Particle. to prohibit
the sale of liquors in that county.
Without Article NIN. there could be
no local or county prohibition. only
State prohibition. Article NIX per
mlts local. or county prohibition. in
the absence OF State prohibition. buT
Is in no way limitation or restric-
ton upon the power of the legisla-
ture to establish State prohibition.
While Article NIN permits local, or
county prohibition. in the absence Of
State prohibition. the converse is not
true II We had State prohibition.
no county could permit the local or
county sale of Intoxicating liquors"
