WANT A WEST COAST ROAD.

The Florida East Coast railroad has
made almost paradise of former UNI
inhabitabIe section Of country and con-
tributed millions Of dollars to the tax
able wealth Of the State
What this road has done for South
Florida would be done for the west
coast, and even more, If a road was
built along the entire west coast from
Tallahassee to and beyond Tampa.
The west coast has many peculiar adj
vantages Of it's own, and advantages
not equalled anywhere on the American
continent. IL is not necessary to enum-
crate them here. but they can be seen,
felt and heard by al men who become
acquainted with the conditions.
The entire State, and particularly the
eastern section Of 1t, owes debt Of
gratitude to Mr.. Flagler.
Who will be the great man to come
along and build such q road from ITALIA
hassee TO Tampal
1t is practicable and could be made
very profitable, developing one Of the
finest regions on earth.
In fact there should be a great sys-
tenn eneireling the entire peninsular
from Jacksonville to Tallahassee, di-
verging from these two points to the
great market Of the north and the great
food section Of the west
Such a system could be made the
finest and one Of the most profitable in
America.
Perhaps Mr.. Flagler might be per-
suaded to extend his road as indicated.

LECTURE Oh FORESTRY.
Tallahassee WOman's CIub ArranS.
inG FOR Visit Of Speaker Of Ma
tIonal Reputation.

uoneA AeputAtlom.
The Tallahassee WOman's Club is ar
ranging for a lecture on Forestry TO be
given on Wednesday evening, the 9th
inst, by Enos A. Mills. a speaker of
national reputation. Mr.. Mills is sent
out by the Forestry Service at Wash
ington, on a carefully mapped out itin-
erary through these States which have
q State Federation Of WOmen's Clubs,
TO awaken the people TO interest on the
subject Of forestry.
This subject is becoming recognized
as one of vital Importance throughout
America. Human and animal life Is be-
ing menaced by sins Of omission and
commission against our one-time mag
nificent forests, and knowledge Of their
Importance and Of how to preserve and
renew them should be impressed upon
the public mind by every available
Means
Mr.. Mills has already visited about a
dozen Of our Florida towns and cities,
Tallahassee being the last upon the list.
Upon leaving here he will 90 on TO
Louisiana. The lecture is given free,
all expenses being betrayed by the For
estry Commission at Washington, eX-
cept his local expenses which will be
met by the local club Of which he Is the
guest. In Tallahassee Mr.. Mills will be
the guest Of Judge and Mrs. 7. M.

Mrs. Cay EntsrtaInS.

Mrs. Charles A. Cav, the newly
elected President of the Woman's Club
assisted by the Secretary, Miss Sallie
Blake, and the Treasurer, Ms Aaron
Levy, received the club members and
their friends last Friday afternoon az
her beautiful home on North Monroe
street.
Mrs. Cay is one Of Tallahassee most
popular h0stesses, and her friends ara
always glad TO respond 70 her invita-
tons, consequently q constant stream
Of callers were coming and going all the
afternoon. Elaborate refreshments,
daintily served, and exquisite decora-
tiOns Of fragrant flowers greatly added
to the pleasure Of the guests.

III % ALONE.

The editor of The True Democrat hai
ever believed in the imposition of duties
upon Injuries, and as near absolute free
trade as possible upon the necessities Of
life. This is reasonable, and all govern
ments should direct taxation as near az
possible toward this end.
Tobacco is luxury and an import tax
on tobacco is hurtful to no man, be-
cause there is nothing that necessitates
it's use.
The True Democrat understands that
a strong effort will be made in the next
Congress by the importers OF cigar
wrappers and filters to secure reduc-
ton on imported goods from Holland,
and if this is done the cheap product Of
that country will come into strong COM
petition with the Florida and Georgia
Sumatra leaf, ard probably destroy one
of the most promising and profitable in
dustries Of this section.
We understand that petitions are be-
ing circulated throughout North Florida
and South Georgia asking that the du-
ties be retained, and for our own pre-
servation they should be signed by every
body to whom presented.
Let our Congressman know that the
splendid beginning of the tobacco indus
try in this section may become Of i'm
mense industrial and commercial bene-
fit if let alone, and probably an abso-
Lutte failure if the duty is interfered
with.
In this particular line Of pursuit We
are ready to exclaim:

REnEnBER sOufHRRN VALOR.

Mr.. Talcott H. Russell, Of the Val,
Class Of 80, has issued an appeal fol
"a memorial at the University fol
former soldier graduates. and is bToaf
enough in his opinion to urge that i
such q memorial Is erected Il should
recognize the valor Of the Confederate
as we'll as the Union soldier.
From q copy of his plea sent TO his
Tallahassee friend, Mr.. r. w. Williams,
The True Democrat is permitted TO ex-
tract the following
adams grafton at the Cetennial eel
ebration Of the birth of Lee in January,
1907, is landmark in the history Of ma
tional feeling. 1t is safe proposition
that the statement made by the orator
that had he been in General Lees stu
alton, a citizen of a Southern State in
stead of Massachusetts,, he would haYe
been found fighting on the Confederate
side, would not have been made by q
member Of the Adams family twenty
FIVE years ago, or ten, or possibly Ave"
The greatest wonder of The True
Democrat is that a gentleman 80 astute
as Mr.. Russell has remained 80 long in
the dark, and is just now waking up to
the tact that while the Southern people
will ever appreciate and commemorate
the fidelity and valor of it's sOldiery, the
amenities Of the war have long since
been forgotten.
Southern orators Of national reputa-
ton have Notwithstanding these views
upon the stump and lecture platform IN
every State in the Union, since the close
of the reconstruction era, and no more
loyal people to the Union can be found
in Maine OF Massachusetts, than in Geor-
gia and Florida.
Yes, let Yale erect a great memorial
to her patriotic dead, and let it commem-
crate as well the loyalty and devotion
of Lee, Jackson and LOngstreet as Of
Grant, Sherman or Sheridan

A GREAT NEED.

Many of the young ladies at the Flor
ida Female College are writing back
letters to their home papers which are
full Of interest, and invariably speak of
the needs of new college building.
This is the right way to bring the mat
ter to the attention of the Legislators
and secure an appropriation fora build
ing that will meet the needs Of the
young women of Florida.
Hon. John L. Medley, one Of the rep
resentatives-elect from this county, tells
The True Democrat that his ambition is
to be instrumental in building up an in
stitutiOn here that will accommodate
every girl in Florida who wants the
benefits of a splendid collegiate educa-
tiOn.
There are perhaps several hundred
girls who leave Florida each year to Sc
cure instruction in college, in other
States, because Of the lack of accom-
mediation at this leading female institu-
ton.
II would be economy to the State to
make an investment that would enable
these precious young women to be edu-
Gated at home.
And the fact that the future mothers
and hOme-builders were receiving I'm
ished edueations in the Capital City.
and that none were denied Admission,
would add greatly to the honor and pres
tige Of fair Florida.

Quite q number Of the leading paperl
Of the State have suggested that Mr..
John g. Collins, the former editor Of
The True Democrat, deserves and should
receive some appointiye Office from the
new State administration.
These suggestions are uusOught and
altogether voluntary on the part Of pro-
fessiOnal associates who have known,
loved and admired John Collins for
many years. They have witnessed in
manyinstances his courageous defense az
the right without expectation or hope
of reward, and now since he has be-
come physically disabled 10 continue the
duties Of bis profession By bis strong
defense Of the best interests Of his
party and State, they see the wisdom
and justice Of political reward.
Without diaparaging the work of any
one the present editor Of The True
Democrat believes that John G. Collins
contributed more than any other man In
the State to the success Of the incom-
ing administration. We were in the
southern section of the State during the
memorable campaigns Of last spring
and summer, and were in a position to
judge Of his effective work. Mr.. Col
Inns Is a gentleman of commendable
He has never sought honor
or emolument or expected financial re-
ward for his work, but he is deeply ap-
preciative of these warm commenda-
tons from his professional brethren.
Governor Gilchrist has publicly de-
clared that he would appoint only sober,
able, honest and efficient men to the pO-
sitions under him. John Collins meas
1res up to every one of these attributes,
and no more loyal man to his admins
tratiOn, providing it prove a just and
upright one, can be found in all the
State Of Florida.
And the present editor Of The True
Democrat would rejoice to see the abil-
ty and integrity of the gentlem an
whom he has succeeded publicly recog-
nized in some substantial way by the in-
coming administration.

Of parents providing their children with
