TUESDAY EVENING. AUG. 20, 1907.

AFTER many years Of discussion with
out any real action, the State OF Flor
ida has at last commenced the work
of draining the great submerged tract
known IS the Everglades. This is to
be done by cutting a series OF canals
leading into rivers on both the gulf
and Atlantic slopes. The section TO
be drained comprises about S,OOO,OO
acres, upon which there is very little
timber or brush, consequently the work
of reclamation will be cOmpsrately easy
and it is expected to have several thou
sand acres ready for cultivation and
settlement by December of this year.
Owing to the latitude and the great
vslue when thoroughly drained. 1t
is estimated that 500, 900 acres of this
land could produce 1880, 600 tons OF
sugar now annually imported by the
United States. 1t will also be admir-
ably adapted to the cultivation of rice.

PROFESSOR Edward A. Ross, head OF
the sociology department of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, in recent lecture to
the students, said that destruction in
the birth rate is q movement which at
this bottom is salutsry, and the evils IN
its train appear to be minor or transient
or self-limiting or curable," thus taking
direct issue with President ROosevelts
well-known idea IS to race suicide. Pro-
fes,or Ross says he is with those who
hate famine, war, saber-toothed compe-
titiou, class aniagOnism, degradation OF
the masses, wasting Of children, dwsrfing
of women and cheapening of men," and
asks if the time will come when the
mother of more than three is regarded
as a public benefactor and placed on the
pay roll of the State" Professor Ross
himself is the father of three children.

THE Culpeper Enterprise AYERS that
"tJe pure election law which is intended

proved big stick in the hands of those

1t seems that the more "pure" election

AN investigation of the artificial ice
industry in Washington by the United
S stes Public Health and Marine HOspi-
tai Service has led to some disagreeable
disclosures. Individual plants were
found in which the business was con-
Quoted under unsanitaiy conditions, and
in consequence disease germs were found
in the product. The New York Medical
journal has no doubt that these condi-
tions account in measure for the prev
alence of typhoid fever at the national
capital last year.
